(*) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock issued to the Everest Display Inc. Majority Stockholders shall have a minimum “Market Value” (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) of not less than $16,460,000, represent not less than 20.575% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock of the Company and be the Company Class A Common Stock. In the event that the Subject Shares and any additional Everest common shares purchased by the Company under the Share Purchase Agreement are in excess of 82.3% of the Existing Everest Shares, then the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Company Common Stock issued to the Option Holders and other Everest Display shareholders shall be increased to a maximum of 25% of the Fully-Diluted Company Common Stock.

(h) Transaction Bonus Shares. In addition to the Option Shares, on the Closing Date, the Company shall issue to the Option Holders additional shares of Company Class A Common Stock representing eight (8.0%) percent of the number of the “Conversion Shares” referred to below (the “Transaction Bonus Shares”).
(i) Adjustment Shares. Based on the Company’s acquisition of 82.3% of the Existing Everest Shares, the shares of Company Class A Common Stock issued to the Option Holders upon conversion of the Option Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) should represent 20.575% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock of the Company having a minimum Market Value of not less than $16,460,000 and the Transaction Bonus Shares should represent 8% of the number of the Conversion Shares, so that the total number of Conversion Shares and Transaction Bonus Shares to be issued to the Option Holders on and immediately following the Closing Date should represent an aggregate of 22.221% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock. Since based on the timing of the acquisitions, the above Conversion Shares and Transaction Bonus Shares only represent a total of 19.268% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock, at Closing the Option Holders shall receive upon conversion of their Option Shares additional shares of Company Class A Common Stock representing 2.953% of the Fully-Diluted Common stock, as adjusted. By multiplying the Closing Fully-Diluted Common Stock by a factor of 1.02953 (100.000% plus an additional 2.953%) results in an additional 1,653,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock (the “Adjustment Shares”). In addition, the Option Holders are to receive stock option entitling them to purchase additional shares of Company Class A Common Stock representing five (5%) of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock of the Company as at the Closing Date. Accordingly, the Everest Display Stock Option Pool shall be increased by 244,249 shares of Company Class A Common Stock to represent 5.0% of the 55,975,970 shares of Fully Diluted Common Stock.
(j) Issuance of Class B Common Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of stock options in the Logical Choice Corporation Employee Stock Option Pool and the Everest Display Stock Option Pool shall be issued as shares of Company Class B Common Stock. The Company Class A Common Stock and the Company Class B Common Stock shall rank equally and be identical in all respects, except that the holders of Company Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote for or consent to the election of directors or with respect to any other matters submitted to the vote or consent of stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision under this Agreement to the contrary, the Conversion Shares, Transaction Bonus Shares and Adjustment Shares (shall be issued as Company Class A Common Stock by the Company and shall be entitled to vote for or consent of stockholders of the Company. With respect to the Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise of stock options granted in the Logical Choice Corporation Employee Stock Option Pool and the Everest Display Stock Option Pool, such shares of Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “Option Pool Shares”) shall, following the Company’s IPO, be registered for resale under the Securities Act on a short Form S-8 registration statement and therefore publicly tradable on the National Securities Exchange.

(l) Acquisition Securities. As used in this Agreement, the term “Acquisition Securities” shall mean and include all Company Common Stock, convertible notes or convertible debentures of the Company, all shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued to the Option Holders under this Option Agreement and all other shares of Acquisition Preferred Stock, if any, that may be issued prior to or become issuable contemporaneously with the date of consummation of the Liquidity Event in connection with the acquisition of the assets, securities or businesses of any other Person.
(m) Other Adjustments.
(i) In the event and to the extent that any of the Acquisitions of the Target Companies referred to above shall not occur or the Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Parent at the time of the Liquidity Event shall be other than the estimated 55,975,970 shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Parent referred to above, the number of Automatic Conversion Shares (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the number of shares equal to the product of the Selling Parties’ Percentage and the then-outstanding number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Parent. In addition, in the event that the Company shall at any time on or after the Closing Date subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Automatic Conversion Shares will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the number of shares equal to the product of the Selling Parties’ Percentage and the then-outstanding number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Parent. If the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Automatic Conversion Shares will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the number of shares equal to the product of the Selling Parties’ Percentage and the then-outstanding number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Parent. If the Company enters into signed definitive acquisition agreements in connection with the Acquisitions of the Target Companies, the number of Automatic Conversion Shares will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the number of shares equal to the product of the Selling Parties’ Percentage and the sum of the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Parent then-outstanding and all Acquisition Securities issuable pursuant to such signed definitive acquisition agreements.

PURSUANT
TO SECTION ___

I, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, hereby certify that I am the Chief Financial Officer of Logical Choice Corporation (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the Nevada Revised Statutes, and further do hereby certify:

TERMS OF SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
ARTICLE I DESIGNATION AND NUMBER.
1.1 A series of Preferred Stock, designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share, is hereby established. The number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall initially be 270,000 shares (as adjusted, pursuant to Section Article IV, the “Authorized Shares”), and the stated value amount per share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be $26.98 (the “Stated Value Per Share”).

1.8 As used in this Certificate, the term “Majority Holders” shall mean those persons who were issued a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Everest Option Agreement to the extent that such persons continue to own capital stock in the Corporation.
1.9 As used in this Certificate, the term “Share Purchase Agreement” shall mean the share purchase agreement dated as of [ ], 2015 among K Laser Technology, Inc., Boxlight Display, Inc., and the other Majority Shareholders (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), the Corporation and Vert Capital Corp.

ARTICLE II RANK. All shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall rank senior to (i) to the Corporation’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and any other class of securities which is specifically designated as junior to the Series C Preferred Stock (collectively, with the Common Stock, the “Junior Securities”); and (ii) pari passu with any other class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock, including without limitation, 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $1.00 stated value per share, 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $1.00 stated value per share and all other shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation (other than the Series C Preferred Stock) to be issued in series in connection with the “Acquisitions” of the “Target Companies,” as those terms are defined in the Everest Option Agreement, and to any notes, convertible securities or class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (including Preferred Stock) hereafter issued for the purpose of consummating any public or private financing (collectively, the “Pari Passu Securities”), in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
ARTICLE III DIVIDENDS.
(a) The Holders shall be entitled to receive if, at the times set forth in this Section 0, cumulative annual dividends per share equal to six percent (6%) of the aggregate Liquidation Preference (hereinafter defined) of the issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Stock. Accrual of such dividends shall be computed on a 365-day basis, and shall be payable in full when the Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed by the Corporation in the manner provided in paragraph (Article II) below. Such dividends shall be payable annually each anniversary of the issue date of the Series C Preferred Stock in additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and such dividends shall accrue whether or not declared and regardless of whether there are profits, surplus or other funds legally available for payment of dividends, and shall be earned or payable from and after the issue date of the Series C Preferred Stock. All dividends paid with respect to shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 0 shall be paid pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock may not be declared, paid or set apart for payment, nor may the Corporation redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, if the Corporation is not solvent or would be rendered insolvent thereby.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 0, the Series C Preferred Stock shall not pay a fixed or other dividend. The Holders shall, however, be entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board, in an amount which shall be paid pro rata on the Common Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, on an equal priority, pari passu basis, according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders, where each Holder is to be treated for this purpose as holding (in lieu of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock) the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion in full of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The right to such dividends on shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative, and no right shall accrue to Holders by reason of the fact that dividends on said shares are not declared in any period, nor shall any undeclared or unpaid dividend bear or accrue interest.
ARTICLE II LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of a merger, sale (of substantially all assets or stock), any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, either (i) simultaneous with any distribution or payment on Pari Passu Securities, and (ii) before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities, each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount (the “Liquidation Preference”) equal to (i) the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, (B) the Stated Value Per Share and (C) a multiple of 3.71 plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to generate cash sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference, then the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably (together with holders of any Pari Passu Securities) in any distribution of cash generated by such assets in accordance with the respective amounts that would have been payable in such distribution as if the amounts to which the Holders of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled were paid in full.
ARTICLE III VOTING RIGHTS. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of each share of Series C Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Holders shall have no right to vote as a separate class on any matter submitted to vote by the stockholders of the Corporation, excluding, however, any proposed amendment that would alter any right given to the Series C Preferred Stock; in which event the Series C Preferred Stock may vote as a separate class with respect to such amendment. Holders shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and shall vote with holders of the Common Stock upon the election of directors and upon any other matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Fractional votes by the Holders shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by each Holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).
ARTICLE IV CONVERSION.
4.1 Conversion Ratio. Each full share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Company Class A Common Stock of the Corporation, at any time, into that number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock at a conversion ratio per share of Series C Preferred Stock as shall be determined by dividing (A) the number of Authorized Shares, by (B) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Automatic Conversion Shares (the “Series C Conversion Ratio”). Accordingly the initial conversion ratio (the “Conversion Ratio”), shall be determined by dividing one share of the Series C Preferred Stock by the Series C Conversion Ratio; provided, that, depending upon the final percentage of the “Existing Everest Shares” (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement) that is acquired by the Corporation the number of Conversion Shares (defined below) and the Series C Conversion Ratio shall result in all of the Conversion Shares having a Market Value of not less than Sixteen Million Four Hundred and Sixty Thousand ($16,460,000 Dollars, and shall result in all of the Conversion Shares representing not less than 20.575% of the Fully-Diluted Company Common Stock and not more than 25.0% of the Fully-Diluted Company Common Stock.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event and to the extent that the Automatic Conversion Shares shall represent less than 20.575% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock (subject to increase, as provided above, if the Corporation acquires in excess of 82.3% of the Existing Everest Shares under the Share Purchase Agreement), upon the optional or automatic conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in addition to such Automatic Conversion Shares, the “Adjustment Shares” as defined in the Everest Option Agreement. In addition, if the product of multiplying the Per Share Price by the number of Automatic Conversion Shares shall result in a Market Value of less than $16,460,000 (subject to increase as provided above), the number of Automatic Conversion Shares shall similarly be subject to increase by the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock.
4.2 Optional Conversion. The Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock may, at their option and at any time or from time to time, convert all or any portion of their shares of Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock of the Corporation at any time or from time to time (an “Optional Conversion”). In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a Holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall: (i) fax (or otherwise deliver) a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary) and (ii) surrender or cause to be surrendered the original certificates representing the Series C Preferred Stock being converted (the “Series C Preferred Stock Certificates”), duly endorsed, along with a copy of the Notice of Conversion as soon as practicable thereafter to the Corporation. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding the conversion. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a conversion unless either the Series C Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the Corporation as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Corporation that such Series C Preferred Stock Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation to the Corporation.
4.3 Automatic Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, express or implied, but subject at all times to the adjustment provisions of Section 6.4 below, immediately following the occurrence of (i) a Liquidity Event and (ii) the exercise of the Option (as defined in the Option Agreement), all, and not less than all, of the then issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the Holder, be converted (an “Automatic Conversion”) into that number of Automatic Conversion Shares having an aggregate Market Value of not less than $16,640,000, less the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock previously issued in connection with any one or more Optional Conversions contemplated by Section 4.2 above. Each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive his, her or its pro-rata portion of the Automatic Conversion Shares determined by the amount by which the number of shares of Common Stock into which all of such Holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Ratio, bears to the total number of Automatic Conversion Shares.
Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the date upon which the first share of Series C Preferred Stock was issued by the Corporation (the “Original Issue Date”), the shares of Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, then, in any such event, Holders shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or other change by a holder of the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, merger, exchange, consolidation, sale of assets or other change, or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.
4.5 Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event. In the event that a Common Stock Event occurs at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock may be converted (the “Conversion Shares”) in effect immediately prior to such event shall, simultaneously with the occurrence of such Common Stock Event, shall be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. The Conversion Shares shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term “Common Stock Event” shall mean: (a) the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock, without consideration, payable to one or more stockholders in additional shares of Company Class A Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock; (b) a subdivision (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock; or (c) a combination or consolidation (by reverse stock split) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.
4.6 Adjustment of Series C Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall, at any time after the Original Issue Date and prior to a Liquidity Event, issue additional shares of Company Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock that is convertible into shares of Common Stock, then the Series C Conversion Price and the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted concurrently with such issue, so that the Series C Preferred Stock shall continue to represent not less than twenty percent (20%) of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock of Company.
4.8 Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Company Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Company Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Company Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Company Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
4.9 Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series C Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series C Preferred Stock by a Holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share.
ARTICLE V NO REISSUANCE OF SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK. No share or shares of Series C Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.
ARTICLE VI REDEMPTION. The Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
ARTICLE VII NOTICE. Except as may otherwise be provided for herein, all notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt of such notice or four business days after the mailing of such notice, if sent by registered mail, with postage pre-paid, addressed: (1) if to the Corporation, to the attention of its corporate secretary or to an agent of the Corporation designated as permitted by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended; (2) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the stock record books of the Corporation (which may include the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent); or (3) to such other address as the Corporation or Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.
ARTICLE VIII AMENDMENT. This Certificate of Designation or any provision hereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, of (i) a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, voting separate as a single class, and (ii) with such other stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Articles of Incorporation.
ARTICLE IX LIMITATION ON TRANSFER.
9.1 The, sale, offer to sell, contract to sell, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer (collectively, “Transfer”), directly or indirect, by any Holder or holder of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, including (i) the use of the any shares of Series C Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares (collectively, “Capital Stock”) as collateral for any borrowing, or (ii) the granting of purchase options to any other person or entity, shall be prohibited until 180 days from the date of this Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that a Transfer by a holder of Capital Stock (a “Capital Stock Holder”), (certified by such Capital Stock Holder to the Corporation that such Transfer is for estate planning purposes), to (A) an immediate family member (child, sibling, spouse or Company); (B) a trust, corporation, partnership, limited partnership or limited liability Corporation that is an “affiliate” (at that term is defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of such Capital Stock Holder; or (C) in the case of a Capital Stock Holder that is an entity, stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders of such Capital Stock Holder shall be permitted. To the extent of any permitted Transfer, the transferee of such transferred Capital Stock shall acquire the same subject to the provisions set forth herein.
9.2 In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other change affecting the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted, or additional securities distributed to a Holder with respect to Capital Stock shall be immediately subject to the provisions of this Section Article IX, to the same extent the Capital Stock is at such time covered by such provisions.
9.3 In addition to any restrictive legend required under Rule 144, the certificate for each share of Series C Preferred Stock and Conversion Shares shall contain the following legend:
“Except in limited circumstances, the sale, offer to sell, contract to sell, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer (collectively, “Transfer”) of the shares represented by this certificate are restricted in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock, dated January __, 2015, a copy of which is available at the offices of the Corporation.”
9.4 Any purported Transfer of any of the Capital Stock that is not in accordance with this Section Article IX shall be null and void, and shall not operate to transfer any right, title or interest in such Capital Stock to the purported transferee. Each Holder of Capital Stock agrees that the Corporation shall be entitled to prohibit the Transfer of any Capital Stock to be made on its books unless the Transfer is permitted hereunder and has been made in accordance herewith.
ARTICLE X PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS.
So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any of its subsidiaries to, take or agree to take any of the following corporate actions (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent) of the Holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Majority Holders”):
10.1 alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series C Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock in excess of 270,000 Shares; or
10.2 issue any shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Persons, other than to Option Holders pursuant to the Option Agreement; or create or authorize the creation of or issue any shares of Preferred Stock or any other security convertible or exercisable for any equity security having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock.
ARTICLE XI CO-SALE RIGHTS.
11.1 If a Holder proposes to sell any shares of its Series C Preferred Stock (the “Selling Holder”) then the Selling Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Notice”) to each of the other Holders at least 30 days prior to the closing of such sale. The Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed sale including, without limitation, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be transferred, the nature of such sale, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.
11.2 Each other Holder (the “Participating Holder”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to such Selling Holder within 15 days of the Notice, to participate in such sale of Series C Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions. Such notice shall indicate the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock such Participating Holder wishes to sell.
(a) Each Participating Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to such Selling Holder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock which such Participating Holder elects to sell.
(b) The stock certificate or certificates that the Participating Holder delivers to such Selling Holder shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Notice, and the Selling Holder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Participating Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Participating Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Participating Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, such Selling Holder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Series C Preferred Stock held by Selling Holder unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Selling Holder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Participating Holder on the same terms and conditions specified in the Notice.
(c) To the extent that the Participating Holders do not elect to participate in the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such Selling Holder subject to the Notice, such Selling Holder may enter into an agreement providing for the closing of the sale of such Series C Preferred Stock within thirty (30) days of such agreement on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the transferor than those described in the Notice. Any proposed sale on terms and conditions materially more favorable than those described in the Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed sale of any of the Series C Preferred Stock by a Selling Holder, shall again be subject to the co-sale rights of the Participating Holders and shall require compliance by a Selling Holder with the procedures described in this Section 13.
ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1 Cancellation of Series C Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to this Certificate of Designations, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be canceled, shall return to the status of authorized, but unissued Series C Preferred Stock of no designated series, and shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series C Preferred Stock.
12.2 Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the lost, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series C Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, indemnity (without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, the Series C Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (surrendered for cancellation), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Series C Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Series C Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series C Preferred Stock.
12.3 Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in these Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series C Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Series C Majority Holders, unless a higher percentage is required by applicable law, in which case the written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be required.
12.4 Information Rights. So long as shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will deliver to each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock (i) unaudited annual financial statements to the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year; (ii) and unaudited quarterly financial statements within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter.

Subject to the express terms of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, dividends may be paid in cash or otherwise with respect to the Common Stock out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, upon the terms, and subject to the limitations, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may determine. Except for the voting rights referred to below, all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be of equal rank and shall be identical in all respects.
(b) Liquidation Rights. Subject to the express terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock, in the event of a Liquidation of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to share in the distribution of any remaining assets available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock ratably in proportion to the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.
(c) Voting Rights. The holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share in voting or consenting to the election of directors and for all other corporate purposes to the extent authorized by this Articles of Incorporation or the NRS. The Class B Common Stock shall have no voting rights and holders of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote or consent to the election of directors or with respect to any other matter submitted to the vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.
2. Serial Preferred Stock. Subject to approval by holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock to the extent such approval is required by its terms, the Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, by resolution or resolutions and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Nevada, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.
The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:
(a) The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series;
(b) The rate of dividend, and whether (and if so, on what terms and conditions) dividends shall be cumulative (and if so, whether unpaid dividends shall compound or accrue) or shall be payable in preference or in any other relation to the dividends payable on any other class or classes of stock or any other series of the Preferred Stock;
2 |
(c) Whether that series shall have voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms and extent of such voting rights;
(d) Whether the shares must or may be redeemed and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption (including, without limitation, the dates upon or after which they must or may be redeemed and the price or prices at which they must or may be redeemed, which price or prices may be different in different circumstances or at different redemption dates);
(e) Whether the shares shall be issued with the privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange (including without limitation the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange or any terms for adjustment thereof);
(f) The amounts, if any, payable under the shares thereof in the event of the Liquidation of the Corporation in preference of shares of any other class or series and whether the shares shall be entitled to participate generally in distributions in the Common Stock under such circumstances;
(g) Sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of the shares (the term “sinking fund” being understood to include any similar fund, however designated); and
(h) Any other relative rights, preferences, limitations and powers of that series.
FIFTH: At all meetings of stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, the shares of voting stock of the Corporation owned by such stockholders of record on the record date for the meeting. When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority in interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon shall decide any question, matter or proposal brought before such meeting unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law, this Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
SIXTH:
1. Number of Directors. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, but such number shall in no case be less than one (1). Any such determination made by the Board of Directors shall continue in effect unless and until changed by the Board of Directors, but no such changes shall affect the term of any directors then in office.
2. Term of Office; Quorum; Vacancies. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Subject to the By-laws, a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Any vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office even though less than a quorum and shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.
3 |
3. Removal. Subject to the By-laws, any director may be removed upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote for the election of directors, voting together as a class, given at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders.
SEVENTH: For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided:
(1) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
(2) The directors shall have the power, subject to the terms and conditions of the By-laws, to make, adopt, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the By-laws.
(3) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the NRS, this Articles of Incorporation, and any By-laws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no By-laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such By-laws had not been adopted.
EIGHTH:
1. Stockholder Meetings; Keeping of Books and Records. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or outside the State of Nevada as the By-laws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the NRS) outside the State of Nevada at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the By-laws of the Corporation.
2. Special Stockholders Meetings. Special meetings of the Stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by law, may be called by the President or the Chairman of the Board, if one is elected, and shall be called by the Secretary at the direction of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of Stockholders owning a majority in amount of the Common Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.
3. No Written Ballot. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-laws of the Corporation shall so provide.
4 |
NINTH:
1. Limits on Director Liability. Directors of the Corporation shall have no personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director; provided that nothing contained in this Article NINTH shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, or as otherwise expressly provided in the NRS, or (iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. If the NRS is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then by virtue of this Article NINTH the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as so amended.
2. Indemnification.
(1) The Corporation shall indemnify, in accordance with the By-laws of the Corporation and to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by the NRS or any other applicable laws as presently or hereafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of his acting as a director or officer of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (and the Corporation, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, may so indemnify a person by reason of the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in any other capacity for or on behalf of the Corporation) against any liability or expense actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect thereof; provided, however, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an officer or director in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (i) such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors and (ii) the indemnification does not relate to any liability arising under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other right to indemnification provided by law or otherwise. The right to indemnification conferred by this paragraph 2 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each person referred to herein.
(2) If a claim under paragraph 2(1) is not paid in full by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where any undertaking required by the By-laws of the Corporation has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the NRS and paragraph 2(1) for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the NRS, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
5 |
(3) Indemnification shall include payment by the Corporation of expenses in defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article NINTH, which undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make such repayment.
(4) With respect to any derivative action or other action against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers, underwriters, accountants, financial advisors, or attorneys, in which wrongdoing is alleged for which the Corporation could be liable or with respect to which the Corporation might have an indemnification obligation, no stockholder or former stockholder shall agree to pay, the Corporation shall have no authority to pay to any plaintiff’s counsel, and no plaintiff’s counsel shall seek any legal fee, except a fee determined for actual time expended, charged at reasonable rates not exceeding those prevailing for ordinary commercial litigation, as agreed between the Corporation and plaintiff’s counsel before commencement of the action, subject to customary periodic rate increases, of which plaintiff’s counsel shall advise the Corporation in advance of any such increase. Plaintiff’s counsel shall provide the Corporation, at least monthly, a report of the time expended each day by each of its professionals in connection with the action during the period reported upon, describing the activities in reasonable detail and the dollar amount chargeable in connection therewith, summaries of time and charges with respect to each professional for such period and since inception, and of out-of-pocket expenses incurred during such period and since inception. This provision cannot be amended except by affirmative vote of holders of more than 80% of the Corporation’s outstanding shares.
3. Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power (but not the obligation) to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this ARTICLE NINTH or the NRS.
4. Other Rights. The rights and authority conferred in this ARTICLE NINTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may otherwise have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, contract, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
6 |
5. Additional Indemnification. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to such of the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by the NRS.
6. Effect of Amendments. Neither the amendment, change, alteration nor repeal of this ARTICLE NINTH, nor the adoption of any provision of this Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by NRS, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE NINTH or the rights or any protection afforded under this ARTICLE NINTH in respect of any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.
TENTH:
1. Corporate Opportunity. In recognition of the fact that the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders, acting in their capacities as such, currently engage in, and may in the future engage in, the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas and types of corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Corporation through its continued contractual, corporate and business relations with such persons, the provisions of this ARTICLE TENTH are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve such directors, officers and employees, acting in their capacities as such. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation, in such capacity, shall have any obligation to the Corporation to refrain from competing with the Corporation, making investments in competing businesses or otherwise engaging in any commercial activity that competes with the Corporation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation shall not have any right, interest or expectancy with respect to any such particular investments or activities undertaken by any of its directors, officers or stockholders, such investments or activities shall not be deemed wrongful or improper, and no such director, officer or stockholder shall be obligated to communicate, offer or present any potential transaction, matter or opportunity to the Corporation even if such potential transaction, matter or opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Corporation, could be taken by the Corporation, so long as such transaction, matter or opportunity did not arise solely and expressly by virtue of the director being a member of the Board of Directors or an officer or an employee of the Corporation (a “Restricted Opportunity”). In the event that any director, officer or stockholder, acting in his capacity as such, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction, matter or opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation, but is not a Restricted Opportunity, such director, officer or stockholders, acting in their capacities as such, shall have no duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation and shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that such director, officer or stockholder, acting in his capacity as such, pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, and the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in such corporate opportunity. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered the opportunity to participate in, any corporate opportunity covered by, but not allocated to it pursuant to, this ARTICLE TENTH to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.
7 |
2. Confidential Information. The provisions of this ARTICLE TENTH shall in no way limit or eliminate a director’s, officer’s or stockholder’s duties, responsibilities and obligations with respect to any proprietary information of the Corporation, including the duty to not disclose or use such proprietary information improperly or to obtain therefrom an improper personal benefit. Except as otherwise set forth in this ARTICLE TENTH, this ARTICLE TENTH shall not limit or eliminate the fiduciary duties of any director or officer or otherwise be deemed to exculpate any director or officer from any breach of his fiduciary duties to the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Article TENTH amends or modifies, or will amend or modify, in any respect any written contractual arrangement between any stockholders of the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Corporation and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, or any applicable employment or non-competition agreement.
3. Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Articles of Incorporation, this ARTICLE TENTH may only be amended (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the Voting Stock. Neither the termination, alteration, amendment or repeal (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law) of this ARTICLE TENTH nor the adoption of any provision of this Articles of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE TENTH shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE TENTH in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this ARTICLE TENTH, would accrue or arise, prior to such termination, alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.
ELEVENTH: Subject to applicable law and the terms herein, the Corporation reserves the right to repeal, alter, change or amend any provision contained in this Articles of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. No repeal, alteration or amendment of this Articles of Incorporation shall be made unless the same is first approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to a resolution adopted by the directors then in office in accordance with the By-laws and applicable law and thereafter approved by the stockholders as provided in the NRS.
