A. Classes of Stock. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares of stock to be designated as “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock”. The total number of shares of Common Stock which this Corporation is authorized to issue is 500,000,000, par value $0.001. The total number of shares of Preferred Stock which this Corporation is authorized to issue is 15,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, and the Company has withdrawn the preferred stock designations for the previously designated Series A Preferred Stock (66,667 authorized shares), Series B Preferred Stock (3,266,667 authorized shares), Series B-1 Preferred Stock (1,666,667 authorized shares), Series C Preferred Stock (3,333,334 authorized shares), and Series C-1 Preferred Stock (1,666,667 authorized shares), which shares have been returned to the Corporation’s authorized Preferred Stock. The Corporation currently has one series of outstanding Preferred Stock, entitled Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (150,000 authorized shares).

B. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock authorized by these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) hereby is authorized to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on each additional series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of them. Subject to compliance with applicable protective voting rights that have been or may be granted to the Preferred Stock or any series thereof in Certificates of Designation or in these Articles of Incorporation (“Protective Provisions”), but notwithstanding any of the other rights of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any such additional series of Preferred Stock may be subordinated to, pari passu with (including, without limitation, inclusion in provisions with respect to liquidation and acquisition preferences, redemption and/or approval of matters by vote or written consent) or senior to any of those of any present or future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Subject to compliance with applicable Protective Provisions (if any), the Board of Directors also is authorized to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock), before or after the issuance of such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series is so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had before the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

C. Common Stock.

1. Dividend Rights. Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

2. Liquidation Rights. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the Corporation’s shareholders as set forth in these Articles of Incorporation.

3. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.

4. Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Common Stock shall have the right to one (1) vote for each such share, shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law.
