PREFERRED STOCK.
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to consist of such number of shares and to have such terms, rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications and limitations with respect thereto, as stated or expressed herein. The first series of Preferred Stock shall be designated “Seed Preferred Shares” and shall consist of 5,000,000 shares, which Preferred Stock shall be entitled and subject to the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Annex refer to sections and subsections of this Annex.
1. Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Articles of Incorporation) the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the dividend payable on each outstanding share of Common Stock.
2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.
2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Seed Preferred Shares. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to 1.5 times the Seed Original Issue Price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (collectively, the “Seed Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Seed Preferred Shares the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Seed Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
2.2 Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment in full of all Seed Liquidation Amount required to be paid to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Seed Preferred Shares and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
3. Voting. To the fullest extent permitted under the NRS and other applicable law, the holders of Seed Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote, including, without limitation, any voting right otherwise afforded to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares under NRS 78.2055, NRS 78.207 or NRS 78.390, which are hereby expressly denied.
4. Mandatory Conversion.
4.1 Trigger Events. At such date and time as is specified by the Board in connection with, but prior to, the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in connection with such offering the Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market, (i) all outstanding Seed Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on a 1:1 (i.e., 1 share of Seed Preferred Shares for 1 share of Common Stock) basis, and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.

4.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Seed Preferred Shares shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Seed Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 4. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Seed Preferred Shares in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Seed Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Subsection 4.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 4.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Seed Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares and may, upon written request, issue and deliver a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (b) pay any declared but unpaid dividends on the Seed Preferred Shares converted.
4.3 Effect of Mandatory Conversion. All Seed Preferred Shares shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends. Such converted Seed Preferred Shares shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
5. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any Seed Preferred Shares that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any rights granted to the holders of Seed Preferred Shares following redemption.
6. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Seed Preferred Shares set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Seed Preferred Shares by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Seed Preferred Shares then outstanding.
7. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Annex to be given to a holder of Seed Preferred Shares shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the NRS, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
