PROXY STATEMENT

Special Meeting of Stockholders

To Be Held on October 16, 2015

10:00 A.M.

The enclosed Proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of American Power Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation, for use at our special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on October 16, 2015 at the offices of Morse, Barnes-Brown& Pendleton, P.C. City Point, 230 Third Avenue, 4^th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451 and any adjournments thereof. The Board of Directors has set the close of business on August 11, 2015 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A stockholder executing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by filing a later-dated proxy with, or other communication to, the Secretary of the Company or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. It is anticipated that this Proxy Statement will be mailed to our stockholders on or about August 24, 2015. References to the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our,” refer to American Power Group Corporation.

The Special Meeting is for the purpose of considering and voting:


1.	To approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock to modify the antidilution provisions of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock to exclude certain issuances of securities from triggering antidilution adjustments to the conversion ratio of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock.


2.	To approve an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000.


3.	To approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if deemed necessary to facilitate the approval of the foregoing proposals, including to permit the solicitation of additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to establish a quorum or to approve such proposals.


4.	To transact any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other business to come before the Special Meeting, and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” these proposals.

Only stockholders of record as of the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments thereof. As of the Record Date, 52,810,655 shares of our Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), were issued and outstanding, 937.78 shares of our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“10% Preferred Stock”), were issued and outstanding and 200 shares of our Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), were issued and outstanding. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of our 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to 25,000 votes per share. Therefore, the holders of our outstanding shares of 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (together, the “Preferred Stock”) have a total of 28,444,452 votes on matters to come before the Special Meeting on which such holders are entitled to vote, which represents 35%of our outstanding voting securities.

The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of (i) at least 67% of the issued and outstanding shares of our 10% Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, and (ii) a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve Proposal 1. The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve Proposal 2. The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, that are represented in person or by proxy and voting at the Special Meeting is required in order to approve Proposal 3. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement.

The representation in person or by proxy of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum for the transaction of all business to come before the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker “non-vote” will have the same legal effect as a vote against Proposals 1 and 2.

Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the number of shares present and entitled to vote with respect to any particular matter, but will not be counted as a vote in favor of such matter. Accordingly, an abstention from voting on a matter has the same legal effect as a vote against the matter.

The entire cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. The costs of solicitation will include the costs of supplying necessary additional copies of the solicitation materials to beneficial owners of shares held of record by brokers, dealers, banks, trustees, and their nominees, including the reasonable expenses of such record holders for completing the mailing of such materials to such beneficial owners. Solicitation of proxies may also include solicitation by telephone, fax, electronic mail, or personal solicitations by directors, officers, or employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid for any such services. The Company may engage a professional proxy solicitation firm to assist in the proxy solicitation and, if so, will pay such solicitation firm customary fees plus expenses.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND RELATED PROPOSALS

Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement and proxy card?

You are receiving this Proxy Statement and proxy card because you own shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock. This Proxy Statement describes the proposals on which we would like you, as a stockholder, to vote at the Special Meeting. It also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision.

Who can vote at the Special Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2015 will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

What is being voted on?

You are being asked to vote on the following matters:


1.	To approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock to modify the antidilution provisions of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock to exclude certain issuances of securities from triggering antidilution adjustments to the conversion ratio of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock.


2.	To approve an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000.


3.	To approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if deemed necessary to facilitate the approval of the foregoing proposals, including to permit the solicitation of additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to establish a quorum or to approve such proposals.


4.	To transact any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

What will happen if the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock is approved?

If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Original Certificate”) is approved, we will file a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, establishing a new series of Convertible Preferred Stock to be known as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Immediately upon the effectiveness of the filing of the Series C Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware:


(a)	the outstanding subordinated contingent convertible promissory notes we issued in June 2015, in an aggregate principal amount of $2,475,000 (the “Notes”), together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will automatically be converted into shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $10,000 per share;


(b)	upon such conversion, the Company will also issue to each holder of a converted Note a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of our Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), into which such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock are initially convertible, at an initial exercise price of $.20 per share;


(c)	no antidilution adjustment to the conversion ratio of the 10% Preferred Stock will be triggered by the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the conversion or exercise of such securities; and


(d)	the holders of the 67% of the 10% Preferred Stock may waive such antidilution adjustments with respect to any future issuances of securities by the Company.

What will happen if the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock is not approved?

If the proposed amendment to the Original Certificate is not approved:


(a)	the Notes will not convert into shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,475,000, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, instead will become due and payable on November 30, 2015, and the Company does not believe it will have sufficient funds available to repay the Notes;


(b)	no shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be authorized or issued and no Warrants will be issued; and

(c)

the approval of the holders of the 100% of the 10% Preferred Stock would continue to be required to waive antidilution adjustments to the conversion ratio of the 10% Preferred Stock that may be triggered by future issuances of securities by the Company, which, except as set forth in the Original Certificate and if such waivers are not obtained, would result in the issuance of a larger number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the 10% Preferred Stock and reduce each holder of Common Stock’s ownership percentage in the Company.

What will happen if the proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved?

If the proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved, the Board of Directors will have the authority to issue an additional 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock without further stockholder approval. The Board of Directors believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Frequently, opportunities arise that require prompt action, and the Board of Directors believes the delay necessitated for stockholder approval of a specific issuance could be detrimental to the Company and our stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that the authorized Common Stock should be increased to provide sufficient shares for such corporate opportunities and purposes as may be determined by the Board of Directors. These purposes may include, among others, the issuance of Common Stock to facilitate potential mergers or acquisitions, raising capital or acquiring technology rights through the sale of stock, and/or attracting or retaining valuable employees by the issuance of stock options. Except as described elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Company has no plans, understandings, commitments or agreements or undertakings concerning the issuance of any such additional shares which would be authorized by the approval of this proposal.

What will happen if the proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not approved?

If the proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not approved there will be approximately 9.9 million shares of Common Stock, not including shares outstanding and shares already reserved for issuance, as described in this proxy statement, available for issuance without further stockholder approval. The Board of Directors does not believe these shares of Common Stock will be sufficient to satisfy future corporate opportunities and purposes, such as the issuance of Common Stock to facilitate potential mergers or acquisitions, raising capital or acquiring technology rights through the sale of stock, and/or attracting or retaining valuable employees by the issuance of stock options. Except as described elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Company has no plans, understandings, commitments or agreements or undertakings concerning the issuance of any such additional shares which would be authorized by the approval of this proposal, however frequently, opportunities arise that require

prompt action, and the Board of Directors believes that delay necessitated for stockholder approval of a specific issuance could be detrimental to the Company and our stockholders. The Board of Directors believes the increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote in favor of the proposals to be considered and voted upon at the Special Meeting?

Yes. Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares:


•	“FOR” the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock;


•	“FOR” the proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock; and


•	“FOR” the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary to obtain the requisite number of proxies to approve either of the foregoing proposals.

How many votes are required to approve the amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock?

How many votes are required to approve the amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock?

The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the amendment. For this purpose, abstentions, broker “non-votes” and shares not represented at the Special Meeting will have the same effect as a vote against the amendment.

How do I vote?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, then, after carefully reading and considering the information contained or referred to in this Proxy Statement, including the Appendices, you may either (i) complete, sign and date your proxy card and voting instructions and return them in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or (ii) vote in person at the Special Meeting. Please vote your shares as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting.

If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker or other nominee, will my nominee vote my shares for me?

If your shares are held of record by a broker or other nominee, the nominee will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. Please consult your broker or nominee for voting instructions and tell that person how you would like him or her to vote your shares. If you do not tell your broker or other nominee how to vote, your shares will not be voted. If your shares are held of record by a broker or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you must obtain from the record holder a proxy issued in your name or bring an account statement or letter from the nominee indicating your beneficial ownership as of the record date.

Can I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting by (i) delivering a written notice of revocation to Charles E. Coppa, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, at American Power Group Corporation 7 Kimball Lane, Building A, Lynnfield, Massachusetts 01940; (ii) delivering a later-dated proxy; or (iii) attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Special Meeting, in and of itself, will not constitute a revocation of a proxy. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or a bank, you should contact your brokerage firm or bank for instructions on how to change your vote.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. We may also engage a professional proxy solicitation firm to assist in the proxy solicitation and, if so, will pay such solicitation firm customary fees plus expenses.

Who should I call if I have any questions about the Special Meeting?

If you have any questions about the Special Meeting, you should contact Charles E. Coppa, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, at (781) 224-2411.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Time, Date and Place; Matters to be Considered

The Special Meeting will be held on October 16, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. local time, at the offices of Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton, P.C. City Point, 230 Third Avenue, 4^th Floor, Waltham, MA 02451. At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon each of the proposals and conduct such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof.

Voting and Record Date

The Board of Directors has fixed August 18, 2015, as the Record Date for determining holders of shares of our Common Stock that are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, 52,810,655 shares of our Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), were issued and outstanding, 937.78 shares of our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“10% Preferred Stock”), were issued and outstanding and 200 shares of our Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), were issued and outstanding. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of our 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to 25,000 votes per share. Therefore, the holders of our outstanding shares of 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (together, the “Preferred Stock”) have a total of 28,444,452 votes on matters to come before the Special Meeting on which such holders are entitled to vote, which represents 35% of our outstanding voting securities.

The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of (i) at least 67% of the issued and outstanding shares of our 10% Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, and (ii) a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve Proposal 1. The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to approve Proposal 2. The affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, that are represented in person or by proxy and voting at the Special Meeting is required in order to approve Proposal 3. Abstentions, broker “non-votes” and shares not represented at the Special Meeting will have the same effect as votes against Proposals 1 and 2. Assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions, broker “non-votes” and shares not represented at the Special Meeting will have no effect on Proposal 3.

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved each of the proposals and recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of each of the proposals. We are seeking requisite stockholder approval of each of the proposals.

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available at least 10 days before the Special Meeting for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting, during ordinary business hours at our principal executive offices. The list will also be available at the Special Meeting.

Quorum

The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting is a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. Broker non-votes and shares that are voted “FOR” or “AGAINST” a proposal or marked “ABSTAIN” are treated as being present at the Special Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Broker “non-votes” and the shares of voting stock as to which a stockholder abstains are included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares of voting stock is present at a meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares of voting stock for the beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Proposals 1, 2 and 3 are non-discretionary items, which means that a nominee may not vote on either proposal without instructions from the beneficial owner. Since Proposals 1 and 2 require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, abstentions and broker “non-votes” have the effect of votes “AGAINST” Proposals 1 and 2. Since Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of the holders, as of the Record Date, of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, that are represented in person or by proxy and voting at the Special Meeting, assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will have no effect on Proposal 3.

Brokerage Accounts

If any of your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, bank nominee or other institution, only it can vote such shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Accordingly, please contact the person responsible for your account and instruct that person to execute the proxy card representing your shares. In addition, if you hold your shares in a brokerage or bank account, your broker or bank may allow you to provide your voting instructions by telephone or Internet. Please consult the materials you receive from your broker or bank prior to authorizing a proxy by telephone or Internet.

Proxies

Our Board of Directors is asking for your proxy. Giving your proxy means you authorize the named proxies to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for or against the proposals or abstain from voting. All shares of Common Stock that are represented at the Special Meeting by properly executed proxies received by us prior to or at the Special Meeting, and not duly and timely revoked, will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the choices marked thereon by the stockholders. If no choice is marked, the shares represented by each proxy will be voted FOR approval of each of the proposals. At the time that this Proxy Statement was mailed to stockholders, we were not aware that any other matters not referred to herein would be presented for action at the Special Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting, the persons designated in the proxy intend to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment.

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked by (i) filing with our Corporate Secretary at or before the taking of the vote at the Special Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy; (ii) duly executing a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our Corporate Secretary before the taking of the vote at the Special Meeting; or (iii) attending the Special Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Special Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy).

Attendance at the Special Meeting

Only holders of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock may attend the Special Meeting. If you wish to attend the Special Meeting in person but you hold your shares through someone else, such as a stockbroker, you must bring proof of your ownership and photo identification at the Special Meeting. For example, you could bring an account statement showing that you beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock as of the record date as acceptable proof of ownership.

Costs of Solicitation

PROPOSAL NO. 1

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES, RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS OF 10% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Purpose

The Board of Directors has recommended to the stockholders that we amend the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Original Certificate”) to modify the antidilution provisions of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “10% Preferred Stock”) to exclude certain issuances of securities from triggering antidilution adjustments to the conversion ratio of the 10% Preferred Stock. The text of the proposed amendment is set forth in Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Background

On June 2, 2015, the Company entered into a convertible note purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued Subordinated Contingent Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount $2,475,000. The Notes bear simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum and will become due and payable on November 30, 2015. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of all indebtedness and satisfaction of all obligations of the Company to Iowa State Bank.

The principal amount of the Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will automatically be convertible into shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at a conversion price of $10,000 per share, immediately upon the effectiveness of the filing of a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of our Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. Upon the conversion of the Notes into shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will also issue to each holder a warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock are initially convertible, at an initial exercise price of $.20 per share. The Warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issue and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

In connection with our private placement of the Notes, our securities purchase agreements dated April 30, 2012 and November 26, 2014 were amended to provide that the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock would not trigger adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with those agreements (the “Prior Warrants”). We also amended the Prior Warrants to extend the term of any Prior Warrant held by the purchasers of the Notes (and their affiliates, members of their families and certain related trusts) as of the issuance of the Notes or subsequently acquired by such persons. The maximum period by which any Prior Warrant is being extended is the difference between 60 months and the remaining term of the respective Prior Warrant as of the initial issuance of the Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agreed not to file the Series C Certificate (and, therefore, may not cause the conversion of the Notes into shares of Series C Preferred Stock or issue the Warrants) unless and until (a) any and all antidilution adjustments otherwise applicable to the 10% Preferred Stock and the Company’s Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”)) have been amended or waived so as to be inapplicable to the issuance or deemed issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants (the “Amendment Condition”); and (b) the holders of not less than 75% of the Prior Warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the 10% Preferred Stock and the holders of 100% of the Prior Warrants issued in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock have agreed to amend or waive such Prior Warrants so as to make inapplicable the antidilution adjustments otherwise applicable to the issuance or deemed issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants (the “Waiver Condition”).

The Company has satisfied the Waiver Condition. In addition, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock has agreed to the antidilution adjustments otherwise applicable to the issuance or deemed issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. The Company agreed to take all action reasonably necessary to convene a meeting of its stockholders to be held at the earliest practicable time for the purpose or amending the Original Certificate to satisfy the Amendment Condition. The approval of Proposal

1 to amend the Original Certificate would satisfy the Amendment Condition.

If Proposal 1 is not approved the Company will not be able to satisfy the Amendment Condition and the Notes will not convert into shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,475,000 together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will become due and payable on November 30, 2015. The Company does not believe it will have sufficient funds available to repay the Notes on such date.

Dilution

If Proposal 1 is approved, the principal amount of the Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will automatically be converted into shares of Series C Preferred Stock, at a conversion price of $10,000 per share, immediately upon the effectiveness of the filing of the Series C Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be initially convertible into approximately 12,988,662 shares of Common Stock. In addition, upon the conversion of the Notes into shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will also issue to the holders of the Notes Warrants to purchase a total of approximately 12,988,662 shares of Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $.20 per share. The conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants could result in a total of approximately 25,977,324 additional shares of Common Stock being issued, which would significantly dilute the percentage equity ownership of existing stockholders. The Company’s common stockholders have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock when issued, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any newly-issued shares in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of the Company’s Common Stock.

Description of 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock

The 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock each have a 10% annual dividend, payable quarterly in cash or in shares of Common Stock. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, each share of 10% Preferred Stock and each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at any time and at the option of the holder, into 25,000 shares of Common Stock. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Original Certificate and the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate”), the conversion ratios of the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share which is less than the conversion price applicable to such Preferred Stock. Waivers of antidilution adjustments that are not so excepted require the approval of the holders of 100% of the 10% Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be. The conversion price of the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock is currently $0.40 per share.

The holders of the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock vote with the holders of our Common Stock on all matters presented to the holders of the Common Stock on a Common Stock-equivalent basis. The holders of 10% Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect three members of the Board of Directors. The approval of the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required before we may take certain actions.

The holders of the 10% Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock have priority in the event of a liquidation of our Company over the holders of our Common Stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of the Common Stock, the holders of the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount equal the stated value of such Preferred Stock, which is initially $10,000 per share, plus any accrued, but unpaid, dividends.

The 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock may be required to convert into shares of Common Stock at our election if the trading price of the Common Stock meets certain thresholds as set forth in the Original Certificate. If we fail to meet certain obligations regarding certain matters affecting the 10% Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of such Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem such Preferred Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Original Certificate attached as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement, and the Series B Certificate, attached as Appendix D to this Proxy Statement.

Description of the Series C Preferred Stock

When and if issued, each share of Series C Preferred Stock would be convertible, at any time and at the option of the holder, into 50,000 shares of Common Stock. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Series C Certificate, the conversion ratio of the Series C Preferred Stock would be subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share which is less than the conversion price applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock. Waivers of antidilution adjustments that are not so excepted would require the approval of the holders of 67% of the Series C Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock would be $0.20 per share.

The Series C Preferred Stock would not bear dividends.

The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock would vote with the holders of the 10% Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock on all matters presented to the holders of the Common Stock on a Common Stock-equivalent basis. In addition to certain approval rights of the holders of the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, the approval of the holders of at least 67% of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, would be required before the Company may take certain actions described in the Series C Certificate.

The Series C Preferred Stock would rank pari passu with the 10% Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock in the event of a liquidation of our Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of the Common Stock, the holders of the 10% Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company an amount equal the stated value of such Preferred Stock, which is initially $10,000 per share, plus any accrued, but unpaid, dividends.

The Series C Preferred Stock may be required to convert into shares of Common Stock at our election if the trading price of the Common Stock meets certain thresholds as set forth in the Series C Certificate. If we fail to meet certain obligations regarding certain matters affecting the Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock.

The foregoing description of the Series C Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Series C Certificate attached as Appendix E to this Proxy Statement.

Approval of Proposal 1 will allow the Company to satisfy the Amendment Condition and trigger the conversion of the Notes.

Required Stockholder Vote to Approve the Amendment Proposal

Approval of the amendment to the Original Certificate will require the affirmative vote of (i) at least 67% of the issued and outstanding shares of our 10% Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, and (ii) a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

Recommendation of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of Proposal 1 to amend the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock.

PROPOSAL 2

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Purpose

The Board of Directors has voted to recommend to the stockholders that the Company further amend its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares. The text of the proposed amendment is set forth as Appendix F to this proxy statement.

Background

As of August 5, 2015, there were 52,810,655 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, and we had reserved 88,344,746 additional shares for future issuance upon conversion of outstanding convertible securities. These reserved shares include: 3,802,000 shares for issuance upon exercise of awards granted under our 2005 Stock Option Plan; 31,348,294 shares for issuance upon exercise of stock purchase warrants; 24,444,452 shares for issuance upon conversion of our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock; 5,000,000 shares for issuance upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock; 12,375,000 shares for issuance upon conversion of our Series C Preferred Stock which will be issued if Proposal 1 is approved at the Meeting; and 12,375,000 shares for issuance upon exercise of warrants which will be issued if Proposal 1 is approved at the Meeting. In addition, the holders of our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive annual dividends in an amount equal to 10% of the original purchase price of such shares. These dividends may be payable in additional shares of our Common Stock in lieu of cash. The number of shares of Common Stock we may be required to issue in payment of such dividends cannot be determined at this time.

The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or reserved for future issuance equals 140,147,216. This leaves 9,852,784 shares authorized Common Stock currently available for future issuance. The Board of Directors does not believe the remaining available shares of Common Stock will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s corporate purposes during the next twelve months as may be determined by the Board of Directors. Therefore, the Board of Directors has proposed an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares.

If this proposal is approved, the Board of Directors will have the authority to issue a total of 59,852,784 shares of Common Stock, not including shares already reserved for issuance, as described above, without further stockholder approval. The Board of Directors believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. Frequently, opportunities arise that require prompt action, and the Board of Directors believes that delay necessitated for stockholder approval of a specific issuance could be detrimental to our Company and our stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that the authorized Common Stock should be increased to provide sufficient shares for such corporate purposes as may be determined by the Board of Directors. These purposes may include, among others, the issuance of Common Stock to facilitate potential mergers or acquisitions, raising capital or acquiring technology rights through the sale of stock, and/or attracting or retaining valuable employees by the issuance of stock options. Except as described above or elsewhere in this proxy statement, we have no plans, understandings, commitments or agreements or undertakings concerning the issuance of the additional shares which would be authorized by the approval of this proposal. The Board of Directors, however, considers the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock advisable to ensure prompt availability of shares for issuance should the occasion arise.

The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.

Required Stockholder Vote to Approve the Amendment Proposal

Approval of this amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the record date and voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

Recommendation of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of Proposal 2 to amend the Restated Certificate in order to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000.

PROPOSAL 3

ADJOURNMENT

Purpose

In the event there are not sufficient votes present, in person or by proxy, at the Special Meeting to approve the amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock set forth in Proposal 1, or the amendment to the Restated Certificate set forth in Proposal 2, our chief executive officer or other officer, acting in his capacity as chairperson of the meeting, may propose an adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies.

Required Stockholder Vote to Approve the Adjournment Proposal

Approval of the adjournment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, that are represented in person or by proxy and voting at the Special Meeting. Assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions, broker “non-votes” and shares not represented at the Special Meeting will have no effect on the adjournment proposal.

Recommendation of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of Proposal 3 to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary to obtain the requisite number of proxies to approve Proposal 1 and Proposal 2.

The undersigned, Charles E. Coppa, hereby certifies that:

That this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designation amends certain provisions of the Certificate of Designation as set forth below, which amendments were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Section 141 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, duly approved by the holders of the Corporation’s 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at a meeting held on October 16, 2015, in accordance with the Certificate of Designation and Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and duly approved by the stockholders of the Corporation at a meeting held on October 16, 2015, in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

VI. That the defined term “Exempt Issuance” in Section 1 of the Certificate of Designation is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

upon the exercise or exchange of such warrants, and/or (iii) other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Purchase Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of any such securities and (c) securities issued upon the declaration of a dividend on any of the outstanding Preferred Stock, (d) securities issued to a federal or state licensed bank or commercial lending institution as partial consideration for credit facilities or lease financing facilities extended to the Corporation, (e) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Corporation and shall provide to the Corporation additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Corporation is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, and (f) any other securities issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation with the written consent of the holders of at least 67% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock, which consent shall designate such issuance or deemed issuance to be an Exempt Issuance.

Additionally, in no event shall an exchange of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for outstanding Indebtedness (i.e., Securities Act Section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) exchange) be deemed an Exempt Issuance. For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of the Class A Preferred Stock by the Company is not an Exempt issuance.

(each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”) (if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Trading Day, the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Trading Day) in cash, or at the Corporation’s option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as set forth in this Section 3(a), or a combination thereof (the amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, the “Dividend Share Amount”). The form of dividend payments to each Holder shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (the “Dividend Notice Period”), in cash only, (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, at the sole election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date, (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have been met during the Dividend Notice Period, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date, (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Condition relating to an effective Conversion Shares Registration Statement has been waived by such Holder, as to such Holder only, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued solely for such purpose at the average of the VWAPs for the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day that is immediately prior to the Dividend Payment Date, and (v) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met during the Dividend Notice Period, then such dividends shall accrue to the next Dividend Payment Date. The Holders shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to Section 6.

b)Corporation’s Ability to Pay Dividends in Cash or Kind. On the Closing Date, the Corporation shall have notified the Holders whether or not it may legally pay cash dividends as of the Closing Date. The Corporation shall promptly notify the Holders at any time the Corporation shall become able or unable, as the case may be, to legally pay cash dividends. If at any time the Corporation has the right to pay dividends in cash or shares of Common Stock, the Corporation must provide the Holders with at least 20 Trading Days’ notice of its election to pay a regularly scheduled dividend in shares of Common Stock (the Corporation may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods until revised by a subsequent notice). The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Holder on a Dividend Payment Date shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued to the Holder in connection with such Dividend Payment Date.

c)Dividend Calculations. Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. If Payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) herein, then, solely for purposes of the payment of dividends in shares, the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Dividends shall cease to accrue with respect to any Preferred Stock converted. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, then such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date.

d)Late Fees. If funds are legally available for the payment of cash dividends and the Corporation is required to or elects to pay dividends in cash then such cash dividends that are not paid within five Trading Days following a Dividend Payment Date shall continue to accrue and shall entail a late fee, which must be paid in cash, at the rate of 18% per annum or the lesser rate permitted by applicable law which shall accrue daily from the Dividend Payment Date through and including the date of actual payment in full.

e)Other Securities. So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities except as expressly permitted by Section 10(a)(viii). So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary thereof shall directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon (other than a dividend or distribution described in Section 6 or dividends due and paid in the ordinary course on preferred stock of the Corporation at such times when the Corporation is in compliance with its payment and other obligations hereunder), nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities as long as any dividends due on the Preferred Stock remain unpaid, nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities or shares pari passu with the Preferred Stock.

f)Special Reserves. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that, on or after the date of the Purchase Agreement, it shall not increase the capital of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding on such date.

Section 4. Voting Rights.

a)General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter (subject to any limitations on such conversion contained in Section 6(d)). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of this Certificate of Designation or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, holders of Preferred stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

b)Election of Directors. The holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Corporation. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors of the Corporation, provided that until March 31, 2013, the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect four (4) directors. With respect to the directors to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock, any election shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the election. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentences may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of capital stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. With respect to any such removal, the affirmative vote must be (i) with respect to directors elected by the holders of Common Stock, by the vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-third percent (66 2/3%) of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, and (ii) with respect to directors elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. If the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4(b), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class. Prior to March 31, 2013, the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (excluding the Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Corporation. On and after March 31, 2013, the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(b), a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this Section 4(b).

c)Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. As long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of 67% of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in Section 5) senior to, or pari passu with, the Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation in any manner that adversely affects rights of Preferred Stock, (d) increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, (e) issue any shares of Class A Preferred Stock or (f) enter into any agreement committing the Corporation to do any of the foregoing.

d)Upon Failure to Pay Dividends. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b), if the Corporation shall fail to pay all of the dividends required by Section 3(a), either in cash or in shares of Common Stock, for six consecutive calendar quarters (a “Dividend Failure Event”), and if such Dividend Failure Event shall continue for 31 days after any Holder of Preferred Stock delivers written notice of such Dividend Failure Event to the Corporation, then the Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled (A) to cause the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors to be

increased by the smallest number of additional directors as would be necessary to permit such holders to designate a majority of the directors if all nominees of the Holders of Preferred Stock are elected to the Board; and (B) to elect the smallest number of additional directors as would cause a majority of the directors of the Corporation to be nominees of the Holders of the Preferred Stock. Such voting rights, and the terms of all persons who are at the time additional directors of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4(b), shall immediately terminate upon the payment of all such accrued but unpaid dividends, together with all late fees required by Section 3(d), unless and until another Dividend Failure Event shall occur.

Section 5. 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, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and any other fees then due and owing thereon under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, 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 ratably distributed among the Holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 10 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

Section 6. Conversion.

a)Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(d) and Section 6(e)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of 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 applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such effective date, 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 of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

b)Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal $0.40, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

c)Mechanics of Conversion

i.Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those restrictions set forth in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (including, if the Corporation has given continuous notice pursuant to Section 3(b) for payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock at least 20 Trading Days prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation, shares of Common Stock representing the payment of accrued dividends otherwise determined pursuant to Section 3(a) but assuming that the Dividend Notice Period is the 20 Trading Days period immediately prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation and excluding for such issuance the condition that the Corporation deliver the Dividend Share Amount as to such dividend payment), and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). On or after the earlier of (i) the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate

or certificates required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

ii.Failure to Deliver Certificates. 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 Share Delivery 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, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

iii.Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Corporation of any such action that the Corporation may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare a Triggering Event pursuant to Section 10 hereof as a result of the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to obtain damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

iv.Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Corporation fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue and that were sold multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Corporation, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the

Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v.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 for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

vi.Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

vii.Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, 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 Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock 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.

d)Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Subject to the Holder’s right to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as described below in this Section 6(d), the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the

Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(d) applicable to its Preferred Stock. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

a)Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents on shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, the Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) 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)Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as applicable, issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 7(b) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) that is lower than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Conversion Price then in effect, the “Applicable Price,” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal the New Issuance Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 7(b) in respect of any Exempt Issuance. If the Corporation enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Conversion Price and consideration per share under this Section 7(b), the following shall be applicable:

exercise of any such Option minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Option (or any other Person) upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

ii.Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 7(b)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Corporation with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Convertible Security for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Convertible Security (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 7(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

iii.Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate (as the case may be) at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 7(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.

publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation for such securities will be the average VWAP of such security for the five (5) Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (as the case may be). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Corporation and the holders of 67% of the Preferred Stock. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10^th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Corporation and the holders of 67% of the Preferred Stock. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Corporation.

v.Record Date. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase (as the case may be).

c)Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (other than the Common Stock, which shall be subject to Section 7(b)), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holders describing 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.

a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Preferred Stock had been convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(d) on the conversion of the Preferred Stock). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it may receive upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

e)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, 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 any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

f)Notice to the Holders.

i.Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver 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. For purposes of clarification, each Holder shall be entitled to the benefit of any adjustment to the Conversion hereunder regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

ii.Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of the Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 8. Forced Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation and subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6(d), if (x) after the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (ii) the Effective Date, but prior to the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the VWAP for each of any ten consecutive

Trading Day period, which ten consecutive Trading Day period shall have commenced only after the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (ii) the Effective Date, exceeds $1.20 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like), or (y) after the later of (i) the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (ii) the Effective Date, the VWAP for each of any ten consecutive Trading Day period, which ten consecutive Trading Day period shall have commenced only after the later of (i) the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date and (ii) the Effective Date, exceeds $1.60 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like) (any period referred to in the preceding clauses (x) and (y), a “Threshold Period”), the Corporation may, within 90 days after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to all Holders (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is delivered to all Holders, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause each Holder to convert all or part of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (as specified in such Forced Conversion Notice) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of Section 6 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “Forced Conversion Date”). The Corporation may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each Trading Day (including the condition (as more fully described in the definition of “Equity Conditions” in Section 1, above) that the dollar daily trading volume for the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market exceeds $500,000 on each such Trading Day) during the applicable Threshold Period through and including the date that the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such conversion are actually delivered to the Holders pursuant to the Forced Conversion Notice. Any Forced Conversion Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the Holders based on each Holder’s initial purchases of Preferred Stock hereunder, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if less than all shares of the Preferred Stock are forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of Section 6, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring limitations on conversions. In the event that a Forced Conversion is subject to limitation because of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation under Section 6(d), then the Preferred Stock held by one or more Holders will remain outstanding, but only to the extent and only for so long, as necessary to comply with such restrictions, and from and after the Forced Conversion Date, any and all such shares of Preferred Stock that remain outstanding shall no longer (a) bear further dividends pursuant to Section 3, (b) be subject to further adjustments pursuant to Sections 7(b) or (c), or to require the Corporation to make payments in the event of any Triggering Event, and the Corporation will no longer be subject to the negative covenants set forth in Section 9.

Section 9. Negative Covenants. As long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless the holders of at least 67% of the then outstanding Preferred Stock shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

a)other than Permitted Indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

b)other than Permitted Liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

c)amend its charter documents, including, without limitation, its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in any manner that materially and adversely affects any rights of the Holders of Preferred Stock, including without limitation the creation of a class or series of stock senior to the Preferred Stock;

d)repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents or Junior Securities, other than as to (i) the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares as permitted or required under the Transaction Documents and (ii) repurchases of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of departing employees, officers, directors and independent contractors of the Corporation expressly permitted by Section 10(a)(viii);

e)pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities of the Corporation except as expressly permitted by Section 3(e);

f)enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Corporation which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Corporation (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval);

g)issue any shares of Class A Preferred Stock; or

h)enter into any agreement committing the Corporation to do any of the foregoing.

Section 10. Redemption Upon Triggering Events.

a)“Triggering Event” means, wherever used herein any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

i. the failure of the initial Conversion Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 185^th day after the Original Issue Date; provided that so long as Rule 144 is then available to the Holders without restrictions or limitations on resale this Triggering Event shall be tolled until such time that Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of the Conversion Shares;

ii. if, during the Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the effectiveness of the Conversion Shares Registration Statement lapses for more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period, or the Holders shall not otherwise be permitted to resell Registrable Securities under the Conversion Shares Registration Statement for more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period; provided that so long as Rule 144 is then available to the Holders without restrictions or limitations on resale this Triggering Event shall be tolled until such time that Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of the Conversion Shares;

iii.the Corporation shall fail to deliver certificates representing Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder that comply with the provisions hereof prior to the 10^th Trading Day after such shares are required to be delivered hereunder, or the Corporation shall provide written notice to any Holder, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its intention not to comply with requests for conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof;

iv.one of the Events (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) described in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(d) of the Registration Rights Agreement shall not have been cured to the satisfaction of the Holders prior to the expiration of 30 calendar days from the Event Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) relating thereto;

v.the Corporation shall fail for any reason to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a Buy-In (provided that such cash due shall exceed $25,000 in the aggregate) within five calendar days after notice therefor is delivered hereunder or shall fail to pay all amounts owed on account of any Event (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) within five days of the date due and payable;

vi.the Corporation shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to issue to such Holder upon a conversion hereunder;

vii.unless specifically addressed elsewhere in this Certificate of Designation as a Triggering Event, the Corporation shall materially fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any material breach of the Transaction Documents, and such failure or breach shall not, if subject to the possibility of a cure by the Corporation, have been cured within 30 calendar days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach shall have been delivered;

viii.the Corporation shall redeem more than a de minimis number of Junior Securities other than as to repurchases of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents from departing officers, employees, directors and independent contractors, provided that, while any of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, such repurchases shall not exceed an aggregate of $200,000 from all officers and directors in any 12-month period, and such repurchases complying with such limitations shall be deemed to have been expressly authorized by this Section 10(a)(viii);


ix.	the Corporation shall be party to a Change of Control Transaction;


x.	there shall have occurred a Bankruptcy Event;

xi.the Common Stock shall fail to be listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market for more than five Trading Dayus, which need not be consecutive Trading Days; or

xii.any monetary judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against the Corporation, any subsidiary or any of their respective property or other assets that is not covered by insurance and is for more than $500,000, and such judgment, writ or similar final process shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar days.

b)Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each Holder shall (in addition to all other rights it may have hereunder or under applicable law) have the right, exercisable at the sole option of such Holder, to require the Corporation to, (A) with respect to the Triggering Events set forth in Sections 10(a)(iii), (v), (vii), (viii), (ix) (as to Changes of Control approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) and (x) (as to voluntary filings only), redeem all of the Preferred Stock then held by such Holder for a redemption price, in cash, equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount or (B) at the option of each Holder and with respect to the Triggering Events set forth in Sections 10(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (viii), (ix) (as to Changes of Control not approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), (x) (as to involuntary filings only), (xi) and (xii), either (a) redeem all of the Preferred Stock then held by such Holder for a redemption price, in shares of Common Stock, equal to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Triggering Redemption Amount divided by 75% of the average of the 10 VWAPs immediately prior to the date of election hereunder or (b) increase the dividend rate on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock held by such Holder to 18% per annum thereafter. The Triggering Redemption Amount, in cash or in shares, shall be due and payable or issuable, as the case may be, within twenty-two (22) Trading Days of the date on which the notice for the payment therefor is provided by a Holder (the “Triggering Redemption Payment Date”). If the Corporation fails to pay in full the Triggering Redemption Amount hereunder on the date such amount is due in accordance with this Section (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock), the Corporation will pay interest thereon at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, accruing daily from such date until the Triggering Redemption Amount, plus all such interest thereon, is paid in full. For purposes of this Section, a share of Preferred Stock is outstanding until such date as the applicable Holder shall have received Conversion Shares upon a conversion (or attempted conversion) thereof that meets the requirements hereof or has been paid the Triggering Redemption Amount in cash.

Section 11. Miscellaneous.

a)Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at the address set forth above Attention: Chief Financial Officer, facsimile number (781) 224-0114, or such other facsimile number or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 11.
