A Description of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is set forth in Exhibit” C” attached hereto.

The Conversion Warrant shall allow Lender to purchase up to the same number of shares of Common Stock as the number of shares of Common Stock that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be acquired by Lender upon the conversion of the Credit is initially convertible into, less the number of Lender Warrants issued to Lender vested (at $0.50) in accordance with Section 2.3 above, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and for a period of five years following the Conversion Date.

6A.2 Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when delivery of notice of such conversion is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date". As promptly as practicable thereafter ATI shall issue and deliver to Lender a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to which Lender is entitled as well as the Conversion Warrant. No fractional shares shall be issued. The Lender shall be deemed to have become a holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of record on the Conversion Date unless the transfer books of ATI are closed on that date, in which event Lender shall be deemed to have become a holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open, but the conversion rate shall be that in effect on the Conversion Date.
6A.3 The number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock deliverable upon conversion of a portion of the Credit shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(i) Merger, Sale of Assets, Consolidation. If ATI at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other entity, the conversion right shall thereafter apply to capital stock in such number and kind of securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, these anti-dilution provisions shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
8
(ii) Reclassification. If ATI at any time shall, by subdivision, combination reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities then purchasable upon the exercise of the conversion right associated with the Credit into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, the convertible portion of the Credit shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Credit shall be proportionately reduced or increased, as appropriate, by the ratio which the total number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event, and the Conversion Price shall be modified accordingly.
6A.4 ATI shall at all times keep available for issue and delivery the full number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into which the entire convertible portion of the Credit are convertible.
6A.5 Piggy-Back Registration Rights. In the event ATI proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") with respect to its Common Stock (other than in connection with an exchange offer or a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or other similar registration statements not available to register the Lender’s securities), ATI shall include in such registration statement the shares of ATI’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or exercise of the Lender Warrant or the Conversion Warrant (collectively, the “Piggy-Back Securities”).

W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the indebtedness herein recited and the trust herein created, Trustor irrevocably grants, transfers and assigns to Trustee, its successors and assigns, in trust, pursuant to this document and Colorado law, with power of sale, all of Trustor's estate, right, title and interest now existing or hereafter acquired in, to and under that certain real property located in Mesa County, Colorado, more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the "Property").
15
TOGETHER WITH all and singular tenements, hereditaments, rights, rights-of-way, easements, privileges and appurtenances thereunto belonging, or in any way appertaining, (all as part of the premises hereby conveyed) all of which shall hereinafter, together with the Property, be referred to as the "Trust Property" and which shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to: (i) all improvements, fixtures, building materials, appliances, and equipment, of every nature whatsoever, now or hereafter located in, or on, or attached or affixed to, or used or intended to be used in connection with the Property; (ii) all water and water rights (whether riparian, appropriative or otherwise and whether or not appurtenant) in or hereafter relating to or used in connection with the Trust Property; (iii) all shares of stock evidencing any such water rights; (iv) all intangible personal property relating to the ownership or operation of the Trust Property including, but not limited to all engineering plans, environmental reports or studies, surveys, specifications, data, drawings, processes, operating, all technical information, and all drawings, records, books or other tangible media embodying the foregoing; (v) all permits, licenses, approvals, servitudes, rights-of-way, easements, surface use agreements, and other surface rights, used or obtained for use as of the date hereof in connection with the ownership or operation of the Trust Property as a produced water treatment and disposal facility or an oil and solids waste facility, including, without limitation, the Original CUP 2010-0031 and Amended CUP 2013-0112; and (vi) there is also hereby transferred, set over and assigned by Trustor to Trustee, its successors and assigns, all contracts and other agreements, including contracts, agreements, options, leases and subleases, easements, plans, licenses, commitments or binding arrangements of any nature whatsoever, express or implied, written or unwritten, and all amendments thereto, entered into by or binding upon Trustor concerning the Trust Property or to which the Trust Property may be subject., and Trustor agrees to execute and deliver to Trustee or Beneficiary specific separate assignments to Trustee or Beneficiary of such contracts or other rights when requested by Trustee or Beneficiary; but nothing herein shall obligate Trustee or Beneficiary to perform any obligations of Trustor under such agreements unless it so chooses, which obligations Trustor hereby covenants and agrees to do so and will punctually perform.
Trustor also absolutely and irrevocably grants, assigns, transfers, and sets over to Beneficiary all rents, issues, profits, damages, royalties, revenues, incomes, rights, contract rights, general intangibles and benefits now due and payable and/or hereafter to become due and payable arising in connection with the Trust Property for the purposes of and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This instrument is and shall be construed as both a Deed of Trust and Assignment of Rents and a Security Agreement and, to the extent that any of the property herein described is deemed to be personal property or fixtures or property not subject to an encumbrance upon real estate, Trustor hereby grants unto Beneficiary a security interest in and to such property, whether now or hereafter located in, or on, or attached or affixed to, or used or intended to be used in connection with the Property.
16
FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING, IN SUCH ORDER OF PRIORITY AS BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT:
One: Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain Loan Agreement and the other obligations referred to therein (and any renewals, extensions, modifications, or amendments thereof) of even date herewith in the stated principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) executed by Trustor, as Maker, and delivered to Beneficiary (the "Note"), together with all interest, including default interest, thereon and late charges, collection costs, fees, and expenses as provided in the Note or hereinafter.
Two: Payment of all other monies agreed to or provided for herein or in the Note or referred to in the Note to be paid by Trustor.
Three: Performance of each and every obligation or agreement of Trustor contained herein, within the Note or any other document or instrument given by Trustor to secure the indebtedness represented by the Note (hereinafter all of the foregoing documents set forth or referenced in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the "Related Documents").
TRUSTOR AGREES:
1. Payment. To pay promptly when due: (a) all sums due and owing under the Note and Related Documents; (b) all taxes and assessments of every type or nature affecting the Trust Property; and (c) all other adverse claims, liens, charges, and encumbrances which now are or shall hereafter be or appear to be a lien on the Trust Property.
2. Performance of Obligations. To fully perform in a timely manner all other obligations of Trustor contained herein, or in any of the other Related Documents.
3. Insurance. To provide and maintain policies of fire and extended coverage hazard insurance on the Trust Property in an amount not less than the full replacement costs from time to time of the improvements, fixtures, and equipment comprising any part of the Trust Property, if any. Trustor will also provide public liability insurance with a combined single per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 and property damage insurance in an amount not less than $50,000.00, both in such a form as to prevent Trustor from becoming a co-insurer. All such policies shall be issued by companies having the highest rating available in Best's Insurance Guide; shall contain standard trust deed beneficiary clauses endorsed thereon making losses payable to Beneficiary; shall contain, as applicable, a standard noncontributory mortgagee clause, a standard waiver of subrogation clause and a full replacement costs endorsement; and, shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary. Trustor shall not permit any condition to exist that would wholly or partially invalidate any such insurance. Trustor shall assign and deliver any and all policies of insurance to Beneficiary or shall provide Beneficiary with certificates of such insurance coverage providing that such coverage shall be irrevocable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Beneficiary and not subject to modification without Beneficiary's prior written approval. At least thirty (30) days before expiration of such policies, Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary renewals thereof, or renewal certificates therefor, with premiums paid.
17
Trustor shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder unless Beneficiary is included thereon under a standard mortgagee clause acceptable to Beneficiary. Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary whenever any such separate insurance is taken out and shall promptly deliver to Beneficiary the policy or policies of such insurance. In the event of a foreclosure or other transfer of title to the Trust Property in lieu of foreclosure, or by purchase at the foreclosure sale, or by the exercise of power of sale, all interest in any insurance policies in force and any unearned premiums thereon shall pass to Beneficiary, transferee or purchaser as the case may be. Beneficiary shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment of defense of lawsuits, and Trustor hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect thereto.
4. Taxes, Liens and Other Items. Trustor shall pay all taxes, bonds, assessments, fees, liens, charges, fines, impositions and any and all other items which are attributable to or affect the Trust Property and which may attain a priority over this Deed of Trust by making payment prior to delinquency directly to the payee thereof, or as may otherwise be provided herein, and providing Beneficiary with evidence satisfactory to Beneficiary, in its sole and absolute discretion, of such payment at least thirty (30) days prior to the time said payment would become delinquent. Trustor shall promptly discharge any lien which has or may attain priority over this Deed of Trust.
5. Right to Collect Impounds. At Beneficiary's option, in lieu of certain payments required under Sections 3 and 4 hereof, if said payments are not being escrowed by the holder of a superior lien, Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary in monthly installments, a sum (herein "Funds") equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the yearly taxes and assessments which may attain priority over this Deed of Trust on the Property, if any, plus one-twelfth (1/12) of yearly premium for hazard and liability insurance, all as reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by Beneficiary on the basis of assessments and bills and reasonable estimates thereof. Beneficiary shall apply the Funds to pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums. Beneficiary shall not be required to pay Trustor any interest on the Funds. Beneficiary shall give to Trustor a periodic accounting of the Funds showing credits and debits to the Funds and the purpose for which each debit to the Funds was made. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the sums secured by this Deed of Trust. Said Funds may be paid to and held by any holder of a deed of trust on the Property prior to this deed of trust.
If the amount of the Funds held is insufficient to pay taxes, assessments and insurance premiums as they become due, Beneficiary shall pay to Trustor any amount necessary to make up the deficiency upon demand.
18
Upon payment in full of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall promptly refund to Trustor any Funds held by Beneficiary.
If under Section 16 hereof the Property is sold or the Property is otherwise acquired by Beneficiary, Beneficiary shall apply, no later than immediately prior to sale of the Property or its acquisition by Beneficiary, any Funds held by Beneficiary at the time of application as a credit against the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.
6. Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds. The proceeds of any judgment, award, claim or settlement for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or any taking of or damage or injury to the Trust Property, or part thereof, or for any conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Beneficiary. In addition, all causes of action, and claims for relief, whether accrued before or after the date of this Deed of Trust, for all types of damage or injury to the Trust Property or any part thereof, or in connection with, related to, concerning or affecting the Trust Property or any part thereof, including without limitation causes of action or claims for relief arising in tort (to the extent of any of the foregoing causes of action or claims for relief arise in tort, only such as are a claim or claims for physical damage or injury to the Trust Property or any portion thereof) are hereby assigned to Beneficiary as additional security and the proceeds shall be paid to Beneficiary and Trustor shall not settle or otherwise resolve any such proceedings or execute or deliver any deed in lieu thereof without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Beneficiary may at its option appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any such cause of action or claim for relief and may make any compromise or settlement thereof, and any sums collected as a result thereof shall be paid to Beneficiary. Trustor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings relating to condemnation or other taking of or damage or injury to the Trust Property or any portion thereof, or knowledge of any casualty damage to the Trust Property or any portion thereof or damage in any other manner, shall immediately notify Beneficiary in writing. In the event of a loss or injury covered by insurance, Beneficiary may make proof of loss if not made promptly by Trustor, but Beneficiary shall not be obligated to make such proof of loss by the terms of the contract of insurance, or otherwise, and Beneficiary's failure to make such proof of loss shall not subject Beneficiary to any liability or affect any of Beneficiary's rights under this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary may participate in any such proceedings and may join Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Each insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for such loss directly to Beneficiary, instead of to Trustor, or Trustor and Beneficiary jointly. Trustor agrees to execute such further assignment of any such award, judgment or settlement as Beneficiary may require, and to deliver to Beneficiary all proceeds of such award, judgment or settlement.
All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action and payments which Trustor may receive or to which Trustor may become entitled under this Section 6 with respect to the Trust Property or any part thereof shall be paid over to Beneficiary and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Beneficiary in connection with recovery of the same, and then shall be applied, in the sole and absolute discretion of Beneficiary and without regard to the adequacy of its security hereunder, to the payment or prepayment (without premium) of any indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine, or to the reimbursement of Trustor for expenses incurred by it in the restoration of the Trust Property. Any application of such amounts or any portion thereof to any indebtedness secured hereby or the release of such amounts shall not be construed to cure or waive any default, notice of default, or notice of sale hereunder nor invalidate any act done pursuant to any such default or notice. If Beneficiary elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make any monies available to Trustor to restore the Property, Trustor shall proceed forthwith with the completion of construction of the improvements, including the necessary work of restoration in accordance with plans, specifications and drawings submitted to and approved by Beneficiary; and any monies which Beneficiary so elects to make available for restoration shall be disbursed in accordance with standard construction lending practice or in any other manner approved by Beneficiary. Notwithstanding paragraph 7, Trustor shall not be required to restore the Property if damaged by reason of an event for which the Beneficiary receives condemnation or insurance proceeds unless the Beneficiary elects to make the proceeds or a portion thereof available to Trustor for restoration of the Property.
19
7. Preservation. Trustor agrees to keep the Trust Property in good condition and repair, and not commit or permit waste thereof; not to remove or demolish, nor alter the design or structural character of, any building, fixture, equipment, fence, canal, well, or other improvements comprising part of the Trust Property, without the written consent of Beneficiary; to keep all buildings or improvements comprising part of the Trust Property free of termites, dry rot, fungus, beetles and all other harmful or destructive insects; to keep all plants, trees and shrubs comprising part of the Trust Property neatly pruned and in good condition; to keep the Trust Property free of rubbish and other unsightly or unhealthful conditions; and not to in any way change or restrict the use of the Trust Property without the prior written consent of Beneficiary. Beneficiary or Trustee, or both, may, at any time or from time to time and without reasonable notice to Trustor, enter and inspect or protect the Trust Property, in person or by a representative, in such manner and to such extent as they or either of them may deem necessary.
8. Hazardous Materials. Trustor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that the Trust Property shall not at any time hereafter during the period of term of the Note or extensions thereof, be used by Trustor or any owner of the Trust Property, or any tenant or any other person or entity, for any activities involving, directly or indirectly, the use, generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any hazardous or toxic chemical, material, substance or waste other than in accordance with proper permits issued for such activities on the Trust Property. If, during the term of the Note or extensions thereof, hazardous or toxic substances are discovered on the Trust Property in violation of any hazardous or toxic waste law, regulation or ordinance, Trustor shall at its sole expense remove the same from the Trust Property and underlying groundwater in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate governmental authority.
9. Subsequent Documents and Recording Expenses. At the cost of Trustor, and without expense to Beneficiary, Trustor shall, upon demand by Trustee or Beneficiary, do all further acts and execute, acknowledge and deliver all deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Beneficiary shall from time to time require, for better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto Trustee or Beneficiary the property rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Trustee or for the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust, or for filing, registering or recording this Deed of Trust. Trustor, on demand, shall execute and deliver, and hereby authorizes Trustee and Beneficiary to execute in the name of Trustor to the extent they may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, continuation statements, chattel mortgages or comparable security instruments, to evidence more effectively the lien hereof and the security interest granted hereby upon the Trust Property or part thereof, or to assure the continued validity, priority and binding effect of such lien and security interest. Furthermore, Trustor forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, and thereafter from time to time, shall cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instrument creating a lien or evidencing the security interest granted hereby and the lien hereof upon the Trust Property, or part thereof, and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien hereof upon, and the interest of Trustee or Beneficiary in the Premises. Trustor shall pay all filing, registration, or recording fees and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgement of this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust Property or part thereof, and any instrument of further assurances, and all federal, state, county and municipal stamp taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Note, this Deed of Trust, any deed of trust supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Trust Property or any instrument of further assurance.
20
10. Actions. Upon written request by Beneficiary, Trustor will appear in and prosecute or defend any action or proceeding that may affect the priority of this Deed of Trust or the security of the Beneficiary hereunder or in the Trust Property and will pay all costs, expenses (including the cost of searching title), and attorneys' fees incurred by Trustor, Beneficiary and Trustee in such action or proceeding. Beneficiary may, at its option, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the priority of this Deed of Trust or the Trust Property or the rights or powers of Beneficiary. Beneficiary may, at its option, pay, purchase, contest or compromise any adverse claim, encumbrance, charge or lien, purporting to affect the priority of this Deed of Trust or the Trust Property or the rights or powers of Beneficiary, but shall have no obligation to do so. All amounts paid, suffered or incurred by Beneficiary in exercising the authority herein granted, including attorneys' fees, shall be payments made pursuant to Section 12 below.

That, if Trustor fails to do so, Beneficiary may, at its option, without demand or notice, as it may consider necessary in its sole judgment, do any or all things required of Trustor by any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust and incur and pay any and all expenses in connection therewith, which expenses shall then become immediately due and payable by Trustor to Beneficiary in accordance with Section 14 below.
13. Security Agreement. Trustor hereby grants to Beneficiary a security interest in the Trust Property pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Colorado for the purposes of further securing the indebtedness secured hereby and all other amounts due hereunder. Trustor shall give advance notice in writing to Beneficiary of any proposed change in Trustor's name, identity or structure and will execute and deliver to Beneficiary, prior to or concurrently with the occurrence of any such change, all financing statements that Beneficiary may require to establish and maintain the validity and priority of Beneficiary's security interest with respect to any collateral described or referred to herein. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to file any financing statements Beneficiary deems appropriate in connection therewith.
This Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement with respect to (a) any collateral, (b) any portion of the Trust Property which may not be deemed to form part of the real estate described in Exhibit "A", (c) all property listed on any financing statement filed with regard to the security agreement created hereunder, (d) all after acquired property, and (e) all replacements of, substitutions for, and additions to such property, and the proceeds of all of the collateral (all of the foregoing Property described in the previous subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) hereinafter shall be referred to as the "Collateral").
21
Accordingly, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Beneficiary hereunder, Beneficiary shall have all the rights of a secured party under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code. Furthermore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to sign and file financing statements at any time in respect of any of the Trust Property, without such financing statements being executed, by or on behalf of, Trustor, but Trustor, will however, at any time upon request of Beneficiary, execute, or cause to be executed, financing statements in respect of any Collateral. Trustor agrees to pay all filing fees, including fees for filing continuation statements and releases in connection with such financing statements, and to reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses of any kind incurred in connection therewith. Without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, Trustor shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in any part of the Trust Property, including replacements and additions thereto. Upon the occurrence of any default of Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code as well as all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, and, at Beneficiary's option, Beneficiary may also invoke the remedies provided in this Deed of Trust as to such personal property and all the portions of the Trust Property which are personal property.
This Deed of Trust constitutes a fixture filing under the fixture filing provisions of the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.
14. Advancements. Trustor shall pay to Trustee and Beneficiary, respectively, promptly upon demand, all sums of money which they shall respectively pay pursuant to any of the provisions of this Deed of Trust, together with interest upon each of said amounts, until repaid, from the time of said demand until the payment thereof, at the rate of interest in effect after a default on the indebtedness outstanding under the Note.

e. The filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition under any bankruptcy statute, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, by or against Trustor, or the adjudication of Trustor as bankrupt or insolvent by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or the making of an assignment by Trustor for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by Trustor in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if Trustor shall allow the appointment of a receiver, trustee, conservator, custodian (as that term is defined in the Federal Bankruptcy Code), or liquidator of all or any part of the Trust Property, or if any of the Trust Property is levied upon by virtue of any execution, attachment, tax levy, or other writ, or if liens are filed against the Trust Property or any part thereof;
f. The abandonment of all or any part of the Trust Property;
g. The breach of any written warranty, covenant, representation or certification given in connection herewith or in connection with Trustor's purchase of the real property secured hereby;

22
i. Any other event shall occur which, under this Deed of Trust or under the terms of the Note or any other Related Document constitutes a default by Trustor hereunder, or thereunder or gives Beneficiary the right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness, or any part thereof, secured hereby;
j. Any other event shall occur which, under the provisions of any of the other Related Documents constitutes a default thereunder;
k. The dissolution or termination of Trustor.
16. Remedies.
a.

b. Upon and after any Event of Default, Trustee or Beneficiary personally, or by their respective agents or attorneys, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness secured hereby, may enter into and upon all or any part of the Trust Property, and each and every part thereof, and may exclude Trustor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom; and having and holding the same, may use, operate, manage, and control the Trust Property and conduct the business thereof, either personally or by their respective superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys, or receivers; and upon every such entry, Trustee or Beneficiary, at the expense of Trustor, from time to time, either by purchase, repairs or construction, may maintain and restore the Trust Property, may complete the construction of the improvements and in the course of such completion may make such changes in the contemplated improvements as it may deem desirable and may insure the same; and likewise, from time to time, at the expense of Trustor, Trustee or Beneficiary may make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon as it may deem advisable; and in every such case Trustee and Beneficiary shall have the right to manage and operate the Trust Property and to carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of Trustor with respect thereto either in the name of Trustor or otherwise as it shall deem best; and Trustee or Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income of the Trust Property and every part thereof, all of which shall, for all purposes, constitute property of the Beneficiary; and, after deducting the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and amounts necessary to pay for taxes, assessments, insurance and prior or other proper charges upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Trustee or Beneficiary and for all attorneys (including at any trial and any appeal with respect thereto), counsel, agents, clerks, servants and other employees properly engaged and employed by it, Beneficiary shall apply the monies arising as aforesaid, in such order as Beneficiary shall determine.
23
c. Upon and after any Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have all of the remedies of a Secured Party under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right and power to sell, or otherwise dispose of, the Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose may take immediate and exclusive possession of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and with or without judicial process, enter upon any of the Trust Property on which the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be situated and remove the same therefrom without being deemed guilty of trespass and without liability for damages thereby occasioned, or, at Beneficiary's option, Trustor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at the place and at the time designated in the demand. Beneficiary shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare the Collateral for sale. Beneficiary without removal may render the Collateral unusable and dispose of the Collateral on the Trust Property. To the extent permitted by law, Trustor expressly waives any notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral and any other right or remedy of Trustor existing after default hereunder, and to the extent any such notice is required and cannot be waived, Trustor agrees that, as it relates to this subsection c only, if notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral is mailed, postage prepaid, to Trustor pursuant to the otherwise applicable provisions of Section 45 hereof at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and shall fully satisfy any requirement for giving of said notice.

Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 16, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Trustor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Trustor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Trustor.

Third: To the payment of any other sums required to be paid by Trustor pursuant to any provisions of this Deed of Trust or of the Note or of any other instrument by which the Note is now or hereafter secured; and

j. The remedies specified in this section 16 shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided herein and which Beneficiary may have at law or in equity and no single exercise by Beneficiary of any right or remedy hereunder or which Beneficiary may have at law or in equity shall exhaust the same or shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy hereunder or which Beneficiary may have at law or in equity, and every such right or remedy hereunder or which Beneficiary may have at law or in equity may be exercised at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default.
17. Assignment of Rents and Leases. All of the existing and future rents, leases, issues and profits of the Trust Property or any part thereof, and all rights in the Trust Property or any part thereof, and all rights of Trustor against any guarantors thereof, are hereby assigned to Beneficiary as further security for the payment of the indebtedness and performance of the obligations, covenants, promises and agreements herein or secured hereby. When requested by Beneficiary from time to time, and within such time as Beneficiary may require, Trustor shall, to the extent required, execute, deliver, and record, and shall cause any lessee, sublessee, assignee, tenant, or occupant (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Tenant") of Trustor designated by Beneficiary to execute, deliver, and record, separate lease assignments covering any or all of the leases that may affect any part or all of the Trust Property. Such separate lease assignments shall be in such form and contain such provisions as Beneficiary may in its discretion require and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may require any such Tenant to subordinate the Tenant's rights to the lien of this Deed of Trust. In no event shall Beneficiary be required to give nondisturbance or similar commitments to any of such Tenant. Whether or not separate lease assignments are required by Beneficiary, Trustor hereby authorizes and directs the Tenant of the Trust Property that, upon written notice from Beneficiary, all payments required under said leases, or in any way respecting same, shall be made directly to the Beneficiary as they become due. Trustor hereby relieves said Tenant from any liability to Trustor by reason of said payments being made to Beneficiary. Nevertheless, until Beneficiary notifies said Tenants in writing to make such payments to Beneficiary, Trustor shall be entitled to collect all such rents and/or payments. Beneficiary is hereby authorized to give such notification only in the event of any breach or event of default by Trustor under Section 15 hereof. Trustor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary: (a) execute (except as noted above) an assignment of the rents, income, profits and benefits accruing from the Trust Property; or, (b) in any other manner impair the value of the Trust Property or the security of Beneficiary for the payment of the Note.
26
Nothing contained herein shall obligate Beneficiary to perform the duties of Trustor as landlord or lessor under any such leases or tenancies. Trustor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall at all times promptly and faithfully perform, or cause to be performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in any and all leases of the Trust Property now or hereafter existing, on the part of the lessor thereunder to be kept and performed.
18. Receiver. In case default be made in payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in performance of any of Trustor's agreements or obligations contained herein or within any other Related Documents, Beneficiary shall be entitled at any time, without notice and in its sole discretion, either by its agents, attorneys, employees, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, to enter upon and take possession of the Trust Property or any part thereof, and Trustor shall, upon demand, peaceably surrender possession thereof to Beneficiary or the receiver, if any. Beneficiary, in its name and/or in the name of Trustor, may operate and maintain all or any portion of the Trust Property to such extent as Beneficiary deems advisable, and Trustor agrees that Beneficiary shall be entitled to do and perform any acts that Beneficiary may deem necessary or proper to conserve the value of the Trust Property, and to xxx for and otherwise collect and receive all rents, issues and profits thereof, including those past due and unpaid as well as those accruing thereafter, and may rent or lease the Trust Property or any portion thereof to such person or persons and for such periods of time and on such terms and conditions as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine. Trustor further agrees that Beneficiary may also take possession of, and use, any and all personal property contained in or on the Trust Property or used by Trustor in the rental or leasing of the Trust Property or any part thereof. Beneficiary may apply all such rents, issues and profits collected or received by it to the payment of costs and expenses incurred in the operation of the Trust Property, to protect and preserve the security thereof, or in the manner hereinabove specified in respect of proceeds of sale of the Trust Property, and in whatever order Beneficiary determines in its sole and absolute discretion. Any part of or all such monies may be released by Beneficiary at its sole option. The expenses (including, without limitation, receiver's fees, if any, compensation to any agent appointed by Beneficiary, and counsel fees, costs, and disbursements) incurred in taking possession of the Trust Property and effecting collection of such rents, issues and profits or attempting to take possession of the Trust Property and effecting said collection, shall be deemed an expense or advancement under Section 14 of this Deed of Trust to be paid by Trustor and secured hereby. Neither the entering upon and taking possession of the Trust Property nor the collection of such rents, issues and profits and the application or release thereof as aforesaid, shall cure or waive any default or Notice of Sale hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such Notice. In dealing with the Trust Property or any related personal property as a beneficiary in possession, Beneficiary shall be without any liability, charge or obligation therefor to Trustor or third parties, other than for willful misconduct, and Trustor agrees to indemnify and hold Beneficiary harmless for, from and against any claims of such liability. All net losses, costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary under the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall be advancements covered by Section 14 hereof.
27
19. Certain Modifications. Without affecting the liability of Trustor or any other person (except any person expressly released in writing) for payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or for performance of any obligation contained herein or in any other Related Document, and without affecting the rights of Beneficiary with respect to any security not expressly released in writing, Beneficiary may, at any time and from time to time, either before or after maturity of the Note, and without notice or consent:
a. Release any guarantor or other person liable for payment of all or any part of such indebtedness or for performance of any such obligation;
b. Make any agreement extending the time or otherwise altering the terms for payment of all or any part of such indebtedness, or modifying or waiving any obligation contained herein or in any other Related Document, or subordinating, modifying or otherwise dealing with the lien or charge hereof;
c. Exercise or refrain from exercising or waive any right Beneficiary may have hereunder or under any other Related Document;
d. Accept additional security of any kind; and/or
e. Release or otherwise deal with any property, real or personal, securing the indebtedness secured hereby, including all or any part of the Trust Property herein described.
20. Non-Waiver. By accepting late performance of any obligation secured hereby, including, without limitation, payment, or part payment, of any sum secured hereby, after the same is due or after the recording of a notice of sale, Beneficiary shall not waive its right against any person obligated directly or indirectly hereunder or an any indebtedness secured hereby, either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured, to require prompt performance when due of all other obligations or to declare a default for failure to make such prompt payment or performance. No exercise of any right or remedy by Trustee or Beneficiary hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy herein contained or provided at law or in equity, nor shall acceptance of such payment, part payment or performance cure or waive any remaining default or invalidate any sale held pursuant to such Notice for any such remaining default, or prejudice any of the rights of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust. No delay on the part of Beneficiary in exercising any of its rights under this Deed of Trust or any other of the Related Documents shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time during the continuance of such default.
28
21. Estoppel Certificates. Trustor, within ten (10) days after written request therefor, shall furnish a duly acknowledged written statement setting forth the amount of the debt secured by this Deed of Trust, and stating either that no setoffs or defenses exist against the Deed of Trust debt, or, if such setoffs or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature and amount thereof.
22. Resignation. Trustee may resign by mailing or delivering notice thereof to Beneficiary and Trustor and Beneficiary may, at any time Beneficiary may desire, subject to applicable law, , appoint another Trustee in the place and stead of said Trustee or any successor in trust.

25. Further Encumbrances or Sales. Beneficiary, by approving the Note and this Deed of Trust, has recognized and relied upon the unique experience and financial capabilities of Trustor and, if Trustor is comprised of more than one person or entity, then each of the persons and entities of which Trustor is so comprised. Trustor and, if Trustor is comprised of more than one person or entity, any of the persons or entities of which Trustor is comprised, shall not execute or deliver any pledge, security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of hypothecation or encumbrance covering all or any portion of the Trust Property, or any interest herein, nor sell, contract to sell, lease with option to purchase, convey, alienate, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Trust Property, or any interest herein, or any interest in Trustor, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary being first had and obtained, which such consent may be given or withheld in Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion, and, if given, may be conditioned upon such further agreements as Beneficiary, in Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion, may require. Trustor shall not, without Beneficiary's prior written consent, permit the creation of any liens or encumbrances on the Trust Property other than the lien of this Deed of Trust, and shall pay, when due, all obligations, lawful claims or demands of any person which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien or encumbrance on, or a security interest in, the Trust Property or any part thereof or on the rents, issues, income and profits arising therefrom, whether such lien or encumbrance would be senior or subordinate hereto, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all claims of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others for work or labor performed, or materials or supplies furnished in connection with any work of demolition, alteration, improvement of or construction upon the Trust Property, and in general will do or cause to be done everything necessary so that the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust on the Trust Property, shall be fully preserved, at the cost of Trustor, without expense to Trustee or Beneficiary. If Trustor breaches any of the terms or conditions of this Section 25, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, all sums secured hereby shall immediately become due and payable. If ownership of the Trust Property, or any part thereof, becomes vested in a person or persons other than Trustor without the prior written approval of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, without notice to Trustor, waive such default and deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust and the Note in the same manner as with Trustor, without in any way releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of Trustor hereunder, or for the indebtedness hereby secured, and no such sale of the Trust Property, forbearance on the part of Beneficiary, extension of the time for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or any change in the terms thereof consented to by Beneficiary shall in any way whatsoever operate to release, discharge, modify, change, or affect the liability of Trustor herein, either in whole or in part.
29
26. Partial Invalidity. If any one or more of the provisions of this Deed of Trust or the applicability of any such provision to a specific situation shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it or its application valid and enforceable, and regardless of whether or not such provision may be or is modified to make it or its application valid and enforceable, the validity and enforceability of all other provisions of this Deed of Trust and all other applications of such provisions shall not be affected thereby.

If Trustor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Deed of Trust, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which adversely affects Beneficiary's interest in the Trust Property or any part thereof, including but not limited to, eminent domain, enforcement, or proceeding of any nature whatsoever under any federal or state law, whether now existing or hereafter enacted or amended, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other form of debtor relief, or otherwise, then Beneficiary or Trustee may, but without obligations to do so and without notice to or demand upon Trustor and without releasing Trustor from any obligation hereunder, make such appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as Beneficiary or Trustee deems necessary or appropriate to protect Beneficiary's interest, including, but not limited to, disbursement of reasonable attorneys's fees, entry upon the Trust Property to make repairs or otherwise protect the security thereof, and payment, purchase, contest or compromise of any encumbrance, charge or lien which in the judgment of either Beneficiary or Trustee appears to be prior or superior hereto. Trustor further agrees to pay all reasonable expenses of Beneficiary (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incident to the protection of the rights of Beneficiary hereunder, and enforcement or collection of payment of the Note, or any advancements under Sections 12 or 14 hereof, whether by judicial or non-judicial proceedings, or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other debtor relief proceeding of Trustor, or otherwise. Any amount disbursed by Beneficiary or Trustee pursuant to this Section 32 shall be additional indebtedness of Trustor secured by this Deed of Trust as of the date of disbursement and shall bear interest at the contract rate set forth or referred to in the Note before demand. All such amounts shall be payable by Trustor upon demand and shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate set forth or referred to in the Note.

31
33. Corrections.

34. Marshalling of Assets; Waiver. Trustor in its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns hereby expressly waives all rights to require a marshalling of assets by Trustee or Beneficiary or to require a Trustee or Beneficiary to first resort to the sale of any portion of the Trust Property which might have been retained by Trustor before foreclosing upon and selling any other portion or Property as may be conveyed by Trustor subject to this Deed of Trust.
35. Partial Release. Without affecting the liability of any other person for the payment of any indebtedness herein mentioned (including Trustor should it convey the Trust Property) and without affecting the lien or priority therein upon any property not released, Beneficiary may, without notice, release any person so liable, extend the maturity or modify the terms of any such obligations, or grant other indulgences, release or reconvey or cause to be released or reconveyed at anytime all or any part of the Trust Property described herein, take or release any other security or make compositions or other arrangements with debtors. Beneficiary may also accept additional security, either concurrently herewith or hereafter, and sell same or otherwise realize thereon either before, concurrently with, or after sale hereunder.
36. Additional Rights and Remedies. If Trustor fails or refuses to surrender possession of the Trust Property after any sale thereof, Trustor shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance, subject to eviction by means of forcible entry and detainer proceedings, provided that this remedy is not exclusive of or in derogation of any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary at the time that it is exercised.

6. Adjustments to Exercise Price.
(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price Due to Certain Events. The Exercise Price for Shares having an initial Exercise Price of $1.00 per Share shall be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event the Company issues additional shares of its Class A Common Stock in connection with (A) an acquisition of another company or its assets, or (B) an offering to raise capital, at a price less than the then current Exercise Price for such Shares, in which case the Exercise Price for such shares shall be adjusted to be equal to the issue price per share of the Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the acquisition or the offering, EXCEPT THAT there will be no adjustment in the Exercise Price for shares issued or issuable in connection with said acquisition or offering unless the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection therewith (X) exceeds thirty (30%) percent of the number of such shares outstanding immediately prior to said acquisition or offering, (Y) the acquisition or offering closes before the six-month anniversary of the issuance of this Warrant, and (Z) in the case of an offering, the majority of the Class A Common Stock to be issued is issued to persons other than the Holder of this Warrant.
(b) Adjustment to Exercise Price Due to Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. If, prior to the exercise in full of this Warrant the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
(c) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, prior to the exercise in full of this Warrant, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity, then the Holders of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise, such stock, securities or other assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such transaction, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.
(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(e) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder.
39
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with these terms and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company, and any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other Company, or any other entity or person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder at least 10 days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
7. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares issuable upon shall be the next higher number of shares.
8. Reservation of Shares.
The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.

THE POWERS, PREFERENCES, RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
OF THE SERIES OF THE PREFERRED STOCK

ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
DESIGNATED
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The series designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" of the Company’s Preferred Stock, to be issued as the Board of Directors may determine, shall have the following preferences, rights and limitations in addition to those applicable generally to the preferred stock of the Company:
1. Number of Authorized Shares in Series. There shall be a total of 300,000 authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
2. Priority. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have a priority ranking superior to the Common Stock of the Company and all other series of Preferred Stock of the Company, with respect to payment of dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Company.
3. Dividends. Holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds and assets of the Company legally available therefore, an annual dividend (calculated on the basis of the redemption price of $10.00 per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) of seven (7%) percent per annum, payable quarterly on or before April 20th, July 20, October 20th, and January 20th for the calendar quarters ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, respectively, to stockholders of record on the respective record dates (which shall be the twentieth (20th) day of the last month for the quarter just ended. At the option of the Company, any dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be paid either in cash or in kind and if paid in kind each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be received shall be valued at $10.00 per share for purposes of such dividend payment. No fractional shares shall be issued for dividends paid in kind and such dividends to be paid to any shareholder shall be rounded up to the next whole share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Dividends on each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative from the date of issue and shall be appropriately prorated with respect to the period between such date of issue and the first dividend payment date. Accumulations of unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.
So long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not declare and pay or set apart for payment any dividends or make any other distribution on the Common Stock and shall not redeem, retire, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock ranking inferior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, without the approval of a majority of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or unless at the time of making such declaration, payment, distribution, redemption, retirement, purchase or acquisition dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for all past quarterly dividend periods shall have been paid or declared and sufficient funds set apart for the payment thereof.
45
If at any time the Company issues any rights, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such rights, the aggregate rights, securities or property which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such holder’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the date on which a record is taken to determine holders of Common Stock for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
4. Conversion. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into ten (10) shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof and at the option of the holder thereof, subject to readjustment as provided herein below. The right to convert any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock called for redemption shall expire at the close of business on the redemption date thereof.
The holder of a share or shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion rights, on an all or none basis with respect to the number of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the holder owns, by delivering to the Company during regular business hours, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other places as may be designated by the Company, the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank or to the Company (if required by it), accompanied in any event by written notice stating that the holder elects to convert such shares and stating the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for Class A Common Stock are to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such delivery is made, and such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable thereafter the Company shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder, at such office or other place designated by the Company, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock to which he is entitled and a check in respect of any fraction of shares as provided below. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Class A Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of Class A Common Stock of record on the Conversion Date unless the transfer books of the Company are closed on that date, in which event he shall be deemed to have become a holder of Class A Common Stock of Record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open, but the conversion rate shall be that in effect on the Conversion Date.
The issuance of Class A Common Stock on conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be without charge to the converting holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for any fee, expense or tax in respect of the issuance therefore, but the Company shall not be required to pay any fee, expense or tax which may be payable with respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of record on the books of the Company of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted, and the Company shall not, in any such case, be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Class A Common Stock unless and until the person requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such fee, expense or tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such fee, expense or tax has been paid.
46
The number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(i) Merger, Sale of Assets, Consolidation. If the Company at any time shall consolidate with or merge into or sell or convey all or substantially all its assets to any other entity, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter evidence the right to be converted into capital stock in such number and kind of securities and property as would have been issuable or distributable on account of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance upon or with respect to the securities subject to the conversion or purchase right immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. The foregoing provision shall similarly apply to successive transactions of a similar nature by any such successor or purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the anti-dilution provisions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall apply to such securities of such successor or purchaser after any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance.
(ii) Reclassification. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities then purchasable upon the exercise of the conversion right associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the conversion right immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If shares of Class A Common Stock is subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately reduced or increased, as appropriate, by the ratio which the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(iii) The initial price paid for a share of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, based upon a conversion ratio of 10 shares of Class A Common Stock per each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, is $1.00 per share of Class A Common Stock to be received in such conversion (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event the Company issues additional shares of its Class A Common Stock in connection with (A) an acquisition of another company or its assets, or (B) an offering to raise capital, at a price less than the then current Conversion Price, in which case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to be equal to the issue price per share of the Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the acquisition or the offering, EXCEPT THAT there will be no adjustment in the Conversion Price for shares issued or issuable in connection with said acquisition or offering unless the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection therewith (X) exceeds thirty (30%) percent of the number of such shares outstanding immediately prior to said acquisition or offering, (Y) the acquisition or offering closes before the six-month anniversary of the issuance of Preferred Stock to any investor, and (Z) in the case of an offering, the majority of the Class A Common Stock to be issued is issued to persons other than the owners of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
47
Whenever any adjustment is required in the number of shares into which each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, the Company shall forthwith provide a statement to each holder of Preferred Stock describing in reasonable detail the adjustment and the method of calculation used at the office or agency maintained for the purpose for conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall mail a copy thereof the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Company shall at all times keep available for issue and delivery the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible.
No certificate for a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion, but in lieu of any fractional share that would otherwise be required to be issued in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall make a cash payment for any such fractional share interest based upon a value for such Class A Common Stock equal to the fair market value of a shares of such Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company as of the Conversion Date.
5. Voting. The holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting and to vote upon matters submitted to shareholders for a vote, in the same manner and with the same effect as the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, voting together with the holders of Class A Common Stock as a single class to the extent permitted by law. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such preferred stock is convertible, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to section 4 above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as there are at least 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right by majority vote of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to elect one director of the Board of Directors of the Company.
So long as any shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of shares at the time outstanding of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:
48
(i) authorize, create or increase any class of capital stock ranking equal or prior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up;
(ii) alter or change any of the powers, preferences or special rights given to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so as to affect the same adversely;
(iii) amend, alter, modify or repeal the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company;
(iv) unless the dividends payable to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been paid, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire or pay or declare any dividend or other distribution on (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for any such purpose) any capital stock; or
(v) enter into any agreement which restricts the Company’s ability to perform its obligations to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
6. Redemption. The Company may, at the option of the Board of Directors, after eighteen (18) months following the issuance of any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to redeem all or any part of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the redemption price equal to $10.00 per share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus accrued unpaid dividends, if any, provided that notice of redemption is sent by certified mail to the holders of record of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of redemption specified in such notice, addressed to each such holder at his address as it appears in the records of the Company. In case of the redemption of a part only of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the shares of such series to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to prescribed the manner in which and subject to the provisions and limitations herein contained, the terms and conditions upon which such stock shall be redeemed from time to time.
On or after the redemption date each holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender his certificate or certificates for such shares to the Company and thereupon the redemption price of such shares shall be paid to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In case less than all of the shares represented by any such certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
49
All rights arising under this Designation of Powers, Preferences, Rights and Limitations, other than the right to receive the redemption price, shall terminate upon the payment of good funds on or before the redemption date to the holder of the applicable shares. The Company may also deposit the aggregate redemption price payable with respect to the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed (or the portion thereof not already paid in the redemption of such shares) (the “Redemption Deposit”) with the Company’s transfer agent or any bank or trust company in the United States named in the notice of redemption. Such deposits are to be payable in amounts as aforesaid to the respective orders of the holders of record of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares as described above. From and after the making of the Redemption Deposit, all rights of the holders of the applicable shares arising under this Designation of Powers, Preferences, Rights and Limitations shall terminate, other than the right to receive from such transfer agent, bank or trust company, without interest, the moneys so deposited with it, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Company) on the books of the Company, and such shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.
7. No Sinking Fund. The shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to benefit of any sinking or purchase fund to be applied to the redemption or purchase of such stock.
8. Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made in respect of any class or series of stock which shall rank subordinate thereto as to assets the fixed sum of $10.00 for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by them plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, thereon.
If upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution to its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock holders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the full amount to which they are entitled hereunder, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such stock were paid in full. If upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company payments shall have been made to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the full amount to which they shall respectively be entitled hereunder, such holders shall not be entitled to any further participation in the distribution of the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders.
Neither the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Company, nor the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.
50
9. Redeemed Shares. Shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Company or surrendered to the Company on the conversion thereof into shares of Class A Common Stock as herein above provided shall have the status of retired shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and shall not be reissuable.
51

Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
5. Adjustments to Exercise Price.
(a) Adjustment to Exercise Price Due to Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. If, prior to the exercise in full of this Warrant the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
53
(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, prior to the exercise in full of this Warrant, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity, then the Holders of this Warrant shall thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise, such stock, securities or other assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such transaction, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.
(c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(d) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder.
(e) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with these terms and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(f) Notices of Record Date. In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record date of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company, and any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other Company, or any other entity or person, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder at least 10 days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

6. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares issuable upon shall be the next higher number of shares.
7. Reservation of Shares.
The Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any person or entity.
