Corporate
History:
Integrated
Media Holdings, Inc.(IMHI) is a Delaware corporation, on February 5, 2008,
entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Merger”) by and among ,
TeleChem International, Inc. (“TeleChem”), the majority shareholders of TeleChem
(“Shareholders”), Endavo Media and Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Endavo”) and TCI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation, and wholly owned
subsidiary of IMHI (“Merger Sub”). IMHI, TeleChem, Endavo, Merger Sub
and Shareholders are referred to collectively herein as the
“Parties”.
Effective
February 21, 2008, IMHI completed the Plan and Agreement of Merger by and among
us, TeleChem International, Inc., the majority shareholders of TeleChem, Endavo
Media and Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and TCI Acquisition
Corp., a Nevada corporation, and wholly owned subsidiary of
IMHI. Consummation of the merger did not require a vote of our
shareholders. IMHI issued 103,143 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock to the Shareholders of TeleChem in exchange for 100% of the
equity interests of TeleChem resulting in TeleChem being a wholly owned
subsidiary. The former shareholders of TeleChem now own approximately
73.5% of the outstanding interest and voting rights of IMHI. The
Preferred Stock is convertible into 36,100,000 shares of common stock after, but
not before, the effective date of the reverse split of the outstanding
Integrated Media common stock. Finally, in connection with the
merger, we changed the address of our principal executive offices to 524 East
Weddell Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089. Simultaneously with the merger we
transferred our wholly-owned subsidiary, Endavo to an individual. As
a result, the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger, where
Telechem is the accounting acquirer resulting in a recapitalization of our
equity.
Effective
Thursday, March 19, 2009, the final steps of the business combination with
Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. were completed and the Company’s common stock
began trading on the OTC Bulletin Boards as “ARYC”. In addition, the Company
changed its name to “Arrayit Corporation”, was reincorporated to Nevada from
Delaware, and reverse-split its common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred
stock in the ratio of one for thirty shares.
The
reincorporation will be effected by the merger of IMHI, with and into
its wholly owned subsidiary, Arrayit. Arrayit will be the
surviving entity.
On the
Effective Time, each of IMHI’s common stockholders will be entitled to receive
one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock or preferred stock of
Arrayit for each share of our common stock or preferred stock, respectively,
outstanding as of the Effective Time and (ii) IMHI will cease its corporate
existence in the State of Delaware. We anticipate that the shares of
the Company will cease trading on the first trading date following the Effective
Time and shares of Arrayit will begin trading in their place but under a new
CUSIP number and trading symbol.
General
Business Description, Operating History and Change in Control
THE
COMPANY
Arrayit
began as a division of TeleChem International in 1996 with the advent of Dr.
Mark Schena’s use of microarrays as genetic research tools. Arrayit was able to
generate a large customer base in a relatively short time frame by capitalizing
on increased Internet access and Arrayit’s online business
model. Genetic research was advancing at a dramatic pace in the 1990s
as more advanced tools became commercially
available. Microarray technology, including printing, detection
and scanning instrumentation, was a timely addition to the geneticist’s
repertoire of advanced tools, including automated sequencing, PCR, and expanded
computing capability. The sequencing of the genomes of various
simple organisms and later, sequencing of the more complex genomes of humans,
have led to yet another revolution in genetic discovery: gene function and
variations with regard to disease states and
diagnostics. Microarray tools, having undergone FDA-validation
in the 2000s, remain an important component of the new genomic industry upon
which Arrayit will capitalize.
Arrayit
Products and Services
In the
late 1990’s, Arrayit focused on developing microarray slides, kits and reagents
using an open platform strategy in order to establish a market
niche. In other words, Arrayit decided to make products that
integrate with components from other vendors, enabling research laboratories to
utilize microarray products from multiple vendors, in contrast to the closed
platform format of the earliest competitors. Research customers
especially enjoy the flexibility and continue to buy Arrayit’s
products. Arrayit’s patented printing technology has become an
industry standard for microarray manufacturing. Arrayit’s
revenues from the printing patent and its own family of printing instrumentation
illustrate the Company’s success at meeting the unmet needs of the microarray
industry. Arrayit now sells both small-scale microarray robots
(SpotBot®) and high throughput versions (NanoPrint). The SpotBot® and NanoPrint
product lines have been further advanced to accommodate more stringent
requirements in manufacturing protein microarrays. As the
industry grows, Arrayit is expanding its product line to include integrated
platforms and pre-printed microarray slides with specific content.
Arrayit
is now expanding its Microarray Services capabilities as well, in connection
with increased demand for microarrays of all kinds, and a trend toward
outsourcing high end technical manufacturing. With the investment proposed in
this plan, Arrayit will create a variety of microarray based diagnostic tests
using Arrayit’s patented Healthcare technology, the Variation Identification
Platform (VIP), technology. As microarrays move into clinical
diagnostics and genetic screening applications, the Company also expects to earn
license and royalty fees in these areas.
Arrayit
has been a microarray technology market driver for more than a decade. A full
microarray product list with descriptions, scientific publications ,
protocols and pricing is available at http://Arrayit.com
..
THE
MICROARRAY INDUSTRY
The
microarray industry is comprised of four areas: basic research into
the function of genes in plants and animals, research on the human genome,
development of diagnostics for personalized medicine, and diagnostic screening
tools for drug development programs that identify toxicity patterns in patient
populations.
The basic
research segment constitutes a significant portion of the industry that has
grown dramatically since first introduced in the mid-nineties by Arrayit’s Dr.
Mark Schena. Arrayit currently sells the majority of its products to
this segment of the industry. The human genetic research
segment constitutes the fastest growing segment, making up the current balance
of Arrayit’s sales. However, the impact of diagnostics in personalized medicine
is expected to be far greater than the above, because of its impact on the very
costly healthcare industry. Better patient outcome and lower
healthcare cost to medical providers will provide opportunities in a vast number
of disease states as the industry grows. Diagnostic tests will
become a part of every individual patient’s care plan across the costly spectrum
of disease states, including cardiovascular, oncology, neurology, and other
genetic diseases that affect large numbers of the population.
Competition
within the Microarray Research and Development Industry
Arrayit
competes with large and small, public and private companies. The industry has
been historically dominated by Affymetrix which achieved strong market
penetration by being the first public company to commercialize and promote
microarray applications. A more recent entry to the market, Illumina, has
taken significant market share from Affymetrix. However, both competitors
face mid to long term scientific and technological challenges because they are
limited by what they can deposit onto a microarray--DNA. Arrayit’s
patented printing technology can deposit any kind of molecule into a microarray,
including DNA, proteins, antibodies,
diagnostic
elements and other compounds. These next generation microarrays
represent the largest growth opportunity in the industry. Arrayit has
a long-term advantage in its unique line of personal and high throughput
microarray printers, highest sensitivity microarray scanners, top quality
consumables, patented diagnostic methods, collaborative corporate culture, and
competitive pricing.
The
following companies compete with Arrayit in the research and development portion
of the microarray market:

Health
Care Industry Segment
A 13 year
combined effort of scientists around the world and the expenditure of over $2.7
billion led to the completion of the mapping of the entire human genome in
2003. This project identified all 25,000 genes that are common to all
humans. This was the beginning of the study of these genes and the
variations in the genes that produce unique human characteristics and how some
of these variations lead to or identify disease.
Because
each gene has the potential for numerous variations, the possible combinations
number in the billions. As daunting as the task was to map the human
genome, the identification of all the variations of these genes and the
implications to human health was even more overwhelming. Dr. Mark
Schena, the company president, has worked to develop the tools and methods to
take on this task using microarray technology. Now laboratories and
research facilities around the globe use microarrays daily to isolate genetic
variations that identify specific characteristics. With the isolation
of these variations, a whole new world of opportunities has been
opened.
With the
tools and reagents that were developed to create microarrays and analyze the
results as a foundation, very specific diagnostic opportunities are
emerging. The pioneering diagnostic slides are processed for one
patient at a time, and it is becoming obvious that it will be universally
beneficial to test millions of people for a specific disease and determine if
they have the disease undetected, or will develop that disease, or in order to
identify what disease is associated with symptoms. However, testing
millions of patient samples, one at a time, would overwhelm the testing
facilities and be cost prohibitive.
To solve
this problem, Dr. Schena developed and patented a method to place up to 100,000
individual patient samples on a single microscope slide and have that slide
immersed in a solution that contains the known markers for a specific disease,
such as childhood hearing loss, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease,
etc. Should any one of those 100,000 patient samples contain the
marker for the disease being tested it would produce a red spot, if no disease,
a green spot. This procedure also identifies carriers as yellow
spots. Because of the sophistication of this patent, one lab could test hundreds
of thousands of patient samples a day after receiving a sample of DNA from each
patient. It is the only method available to the industry that can
accomplish this. Dr. Schena’s procedure is protected by the following
patents:

THE
ARRAYIT OPPORTUNITY FOR DIAGNOSTICS
With the
completion of the human genome sequencing project, genetic research is
increasing its focus on identifying the variations of the specific genes in the
genome. These variations are what define individual characteristics,
including disease states or a statistical propensity for disease. The
implications are far-reaching and impact not only the research community, but
also the individual patients and the medical
providers. Diagnostic tests that detect diseases very early in
their progression will provide options for earlier treatments that may improve
the patient’s quality of life and prognosis by delaying or preventing disease
progression or even death. Medical providers will incur major cost
savings by avoiding costly late stage disease treatments.

Advertising,
Marketing and Sales
Paul K.
Haje has led a successful advertising, sales and marketing program for Arrayit
since 1999. Arrayit is the most highly recognized independent brand
name in the microarray industry. This was accomplished through visibility in
major broadcast television news media, full page advertisements in top
scientific journals, trade shows and workshops, vendor fairs, direct mail
campaigns, feature articles in major trade publications and e-mail
newsletters. All advertising and marketing efforts drive traffic to
the Arrayit.com website and web based store resulting in sales.
The
Arrayit.com web site, which regularly receives more than 1,500 unique visitors
per day and 40,000 visitors per month and over 1 million hits per month, is
considered by many to be the portal of the microarray industry. As an
additional enticement for researchers, Arrayit hosts an E-library providing a
searchable reference database for all microarray publications.
The
Company’s sales strategy has been successful by providing personalized sales and
support. The sales force is currently comprised of three
persons. The Company plans to hire additional experienced sales
professionals with microarray, diagnostics and pharmaceutical contacts who will
capitalize on the company’s powerful microarray technologies. The company
anticipates a sales force of approximately ten within three years.
Strategic

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
Our
securities are highly speculative and should only be purchased by persons who
can afford to lose their entire investment in our Company. If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be
negatively affected to a significant extent. The Company's business is subject
to many risk factors, including the following:
We
Will Need Additional Financing To Continue Our Business Plan
Current
collaboration agreements present Arrayit with near term opportunities for
substantial growth. Capital is required to take advantage of these
opportunities.
An
immediate opportunity exists with OZ Systems of Arlington, Texas. The
government mandates hearing loss tests for all infants born in the
USA. OZ Systems has relationships and long-term contracts with
hospitals worldwide to test for hearing loss. They currently test
over four million (4,000,000) infants per year for hearing loss.
Arrayit
has fully developed, tested and validated a hearing loss screen using our
patented VIP technology that can replace the existing OZ test, creating
immediate revenue for Arrayit. The test is highly accurate and can be performed
at a fraction of current cost, yet billable at current market prices, making
this an equally attractive opportunity for OZ to transition its existing
contracts to the new test.
An
audiologist uses an auditory signal and behavioral monitoring of the child’s
response to the sound for the current OZ hearing loss test. The test
is analyzed and results reported back to the attending physician, who informs
the parents. This test has fair accuracy and requires $1,500 of
confirmatory testing if a determination of hearing loss is
indicated. The Arrayit hearing loss test is based on Arrayit’s
patented VIP technology. It can screen 100,000 children in a single
test for fourteen (14) different forms of hearing loss, including a form of
hearing loss that does not occur until the child reaches six years of age. The
Arrayit test will require FDA approval prior to release.
Arrayit’s
diagnostic test can be accomplished in a CLIA approved
laboratory. The DNA samples will be collected from the patients by
the hospital, and forwarded to Arrayit’s CLIA approved laboratory. The tests
will be conducted in volume on a single microarray using Arrayit’s patented VIP
method.
The
information derived from the test is not urgent; nor is the hearing loss
condition life threatening. This allows Arrayit time to conduct the
tests in volume as the requirement to report to the attending physician is
within three months of the sample collection. The test results will be reported
electronically to OZ Systems which in-turn will advise the attending physician
and counsel the parents as necessary.
The
agreement proposes a 50/50 split of proceeds with Oz Systems. All
patient identity would be protected in the patient tracking technology software
provided by Oz Systems. Oz Systems would conduct all patient follow
through and interface with the physicians. The test would retail for
around $80 and Arrayit’s out of pocket costs would be in the range of $2-3 per
test.
Other mid
to long term opportunities for Arrayit Diagnostic tests arise from
collaborations with Stage One Diagnostics of Little Rock, Arkansas and
BioSystems International of Paris, France.
Stage One
is currently isolating antibodies related to ovarian cancer at their laboratory
in Arkansas. When that phase of the research is completed, Arrayit
will print microarrays with these known antibodies. That slide, when
immersed in a solution of patient’s blood, would conclusively indicate whether
that patient has ovarian cancer, even before any symptoms occur. As
the market moves toward preventative medicine, Arrayit believes a simple test
conducted at the site of care would be a valuable and widely utilized screen for
ovarian cancer. This project is in the late stages of
development. Arrayit will have the marketing rights for the product
and produce the kit for the healthcare providers. How the proceeds
will be shared is yet to be determined.
BioSystems
International (BSI) is producing antibodies of blood plasma, taken from human
sources, for which Arrayit is developing a microarray that potentially has the
capability to identify predictors and biomarkers for such difficult to diagnose
diseases as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, among
others. Once these biomarkers are identified, a diagnostic slide
could then be developed for broad use across the healthcare
industry. Arrayit will also benefit from licensing of these
antibodies for such downstream applications.
Arrayit
has begun collaboration with the Parkinson’s Institute to test known Parkinson’s
Disease patients’ blood to identify biomarkers for Parkinson’s Disease from the
human plasma proteome microarray marketed as PlasmaScan. Arrayit is
also working with Stanford University to test known Alzheimer’s patients’ blood
to identify biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease using PlasmaScan.
The chart
below outlines the cash required to expand the laboratory facilities at Arrayit
and capitalize on these opportunities.

Because
the equipment sales require up front monies to build the systems, additional
cash will be required for this growth and for building the inventory of supplies
in the range of $700,000.
We
Have A Limited Operating History As A Public Company Upon Which You Can Assess
Our Prospects And We Are Subject To The Risks Associated With Any New Public
Company.
As a
result of our short history of operations as a public company, there is little
historical information regarding our operations upon which you can base your
investment decision. In addition, we are subject to all of the business risks
and uncertainties associated with any newly public business
enterprise. Additionally, our management has limited experience
operating a public company. As such, our Company may not be
able to continue to meet its continued filing requirements and may be late in
its periodic filings, which late filings may cause the Company to be delisted
from the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. If this were to happen, any
investment in the Company could become devalued or worthless.
Our
Growth Will Place Significant Strains On Our Resources.
The
Company's growth, if any, is expected to place a significant strain on the
Company's managerial, operational and financial
resources. Furthermore, assuming the Company receives additional
contracts, and obtains additional partners, it will be required to manage
multiple relationships with other third parties. These requirements will be
exacerbated in the event of further growth of the Company or in the number of
its contracts, partnerships and employees. There can be no assurance that the
Company's systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support the
Company's operations or that the Company will be able to achieve the rapid
execution necessary to successfully offer its services and continue its business
plan. The Company's future operating results, if any, will also depend on its
ability to add additional personnel commensurate with the growth of its
business, if any. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, the
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be
adversely affected.
An
Interruption In or Breach of Our Information Systems May Result In Lost Business
and Increased Expenses.
We rely
heavily upon communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any
failure, interruption or breach in security of or damage to our information
systems or the third-party information systems on which we rely could prevent us
from conducting our business operations and/or if such failure resulted in the
release of non-public and confidential information, could make us subject to
litigation or actions for damages.
The
Inability To Attract And Retain Qualified Employees Could Significantly Harm Our
Business.
We
continually need to attract, hire and successfully integrate additional
qualified personnel in an intensely competitive hiring environment in order to
manage and operate our business. The market for skilled management, professional
and loan servicing personnel is highly competitive. Competition for qualified
personnel may lead to increased hiring and retention costs. If we are unable to
attract, successfully integrate and retain a sufficient number of skilled
personnel at manageable costs, it will harm our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
There
Are Risks That We Will Not Be Able To Implement Our Business
Strategy.
Our
financial position, liquidity, and results of operations depend on our
management’s ability to execute our business strategy. Key factors such as
technology advancement, government regulations, outcome of researches and access
to capital market all play an important role in our execution of business
strategy.
We
Incur Significant Costs As A Result Of Operating As A Fully Reporting Company In
Connection With Section 404 Of The Sarbanes Oxley Act, And Our Management Is
Required To Devote Substantial Time To Compliance Initiatives.
We
anticipate incurring significant legal, accounting and other expenses in
connection with our status as a fully reporting public company. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and new rules subsequently
implemented by the SEC have imposed various new requirements on public
companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. As
such, our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial
amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and
regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make
some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls
for financial reporting and disclosure of controls and procedures. In
particular, for fiscal year 2009, Section 404 will require us to obtain a report
from our independent registered public accounting firm attesting to the
assessment made by management. Our testing, or the subsequent testing
by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in
our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material
weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur
substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We
currently do not have an internal audit group, and we may need to hire
additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company
experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to
comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our
independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our
internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material
weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject
to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which
would require additional financial and management resources.
There
Is Currently Only A Limited Market For Our Common Stock, And The Market For Our
Common Stock May Continue To Be Illiquid, Sporadic And Volatile.
There is
currently only a limited market for our common stock, and as such, we anticipate
that such market will be illiquid, sporadic and subject to wide fluctuations in
response to several factors moving forward, including, but not limited
to:
(1)
|
actual
or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
|
|
|
(2)
|
our
ability or inability to generate new revenues;
|
|
|
(3)
|
the
number of shares in our public
float;
|
(4)
|
increased
competition;
|
|
|
(6)
|
conditions
and trends in the market for automobiles and vehicle
leasing.
|
Furthermore,
because our common stock is traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, our
stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to
our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general
economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or
international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our
common stock. Additionally, at present, we have a limited number of shares in
our public float, and as a result, there could be extreme fluctuations in the
price of our common stock. Further, due to the limited volume of our shares
which trade and our limited public float, we believe that our stock prices (bid,
ask and closing prices) are entirely arbitrary, are not related to the actual
value of the Company, and do not reflect the actual value of our common stock
(and in fact reflect a value that is much higher than the actual value of our
common stock). Shareholders and potential investors in our common stock should
exercise caution before making an investment in the Company, and should not rely
on the publicly quoted or traded stock prices in determining our common stock
value, but should instead determine the value of our common stock based on the
information contained in the Company's public reports, industry information, and
those business valuation methods commonly used to value private
companies.
Investors
May Face Significant Restrictions On The Resale Of Our Common Stock Due To
Federal Regulations Of Penny Stocks.
Our
common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)9, promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is
below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors
must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that
they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser
and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities
Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires
additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as
a penny stock.
Generally,
the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an
exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any
transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the
risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market
liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their
securities in the secondary market.
In
addition, various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring
"penny stocks" and as a result, investors in the common stock may have their
ability to sell their shares of the common stock impaired.

3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Civil
Action number 01-2226 between TeleChem International, Inc., Pediatrix Screening,
Inc. and Pediatrix Screening LP went to jury trial in the United States District
Court in the Western District of Pennsylvania in the summer of
2007. The jury awarded TeleChem $5 million in damages for Pediatrix's
breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, and punitive
damages. The jury awarded Pediatrix $1,085,001 for TeleChem's breach
of contract. Pediatrix appealed the jury's decision, and requested
that the damages award
to
TeleChem be reduced. This appeal was denied. Pediatrix put
$5 million in bond, and submitted an appeal to the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals to request that the damages award to TeleChem be reduced. The
parties await the Third Circuit Court's response.
There are
no other legal proceedings, although we may, from time to time, be party to
certain legal proceedings and other various claims and lawsuits in the normal
course of our business, which, in the opinion of management, are not material to
our business or financial condition.

PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market
Information and Holders
Our
common stock now trades publicly on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"ARYC". Previous to March 19, 2009, our common stock traded under the symbol
"IMHI". The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time
quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity
securities. The OTCBB securities are traded by a community of market makers that
enter quotes and trade reports. This market is extremely limited and any prices
quoted are not a reliable indication of the value of our common
stock.
The
following table sets forth the quarterly high and low bid prices per share of
our common stock by the OTCBB during the last two fiscal years. The quotes
represent inter-dealer quotations, without adjustment for retail mark-up,
markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions. The trading
volume of our securities fluctuates and may be limited during certain periods.
As a result of these volume fluctuations, the liquidity of an investment in our
securities may be adversely affected.

cumulative voting rights, and, accordingly, the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares have the ability to elect all of the directors. Holders of
common stock have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for shares. Holders
of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Board
out of funds legally available therefore. The outstanding shares of common stock
are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

THIS
REPORT CONTAINS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF
1934. THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM
HISTORICAL RESULTS OR ANTICIPATED RESULTS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER "RISK
FACTORS" IN THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH "SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA" AND
THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS
REPORT.
Restatement
of Financial Statements
This
Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A reflects a restatement of our consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, as discussed in Note
17 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form
10-K/A. The financial statements have been restated as a result of a comment
letter received from the SEC and from management’s determination along with
outside legal counsel that the Company had inadvertently not recorded the
disposal of discontinued operations as part of the reverse merger., as well as
the subsequent fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, primarily in connection with
the calculation and recognition of revenue, including reimbursable and outside
production costs and expenses, and properly recording general and administrative
expenses in the periods in which they were incurred.
The
restatement for these errors had no effect upon the Company’s net income, as
originally reported for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The restatement
had no effect on our cash or net cash used in operations for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008. After reviewing the circumstances leading up to the
restatement, management believes that the errors were inadvertent and
unintentional. In addition, following the discovery of these errors, we have
begun implementing procedures intended to strengthen our internal control
processes and prevent a recurrence of future errors.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. These estimates
and assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis based on historical
developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information the
Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no
assurance that actual results will conform to the Company’s estimates and
assumptions, and that reported results of operations will not be materially
adversely affected by the need to make accounting adjustments to reflect changes
in these estimates and assumptions from time to time. The following
policies are those the Company believes to be the most sensitive to estimates
and judgments. The Company’s significant accounting policies are more
fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
Throughout
the remainder of fiscal 2009, we plan to continue investing to support our
long-term growth initiatives. We plan to partner with other alliances, enter new
markets and further expand our presence in existing markets.
DEBT
OBLIGATIONS
The
Company has $3,368,830 (2007 - $3,549,558) of debt. Amounts incurred
directly by Arraying amount to $1,320,856; of which $323,283 is being liquidated
by monthly installments of $8,572 over a 60 month term; and $845,396 is due from
the former TeleChem shareholders and their families, who have deferred repayment
of their loans until the $323,283 has been paid in full. To date the
Company has been able to meet the servicing of the TeleChem debt from cash flow
generated by operations.
As part
of the ‘reverse merger” with Integrated Media Holdings, Inc., the ongoing
Company took on the financial obligation for debt outstanding at the merger
date. The predecessor debt amounts to $2,047,974 at December 31,
2008, of which $1,830,300 is convertible into common shares. The
entire $2,047,974 is in default and is currently due. The debt
conversion terms are such that decrease in the market value of our shares will
materially increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the
debt notes. As the debt notes terms do not contain a floor on the
conversion price, it is not possible to determine how many shares may ultimately
be issuable under the terms of the notes payable. It is possible that the note
holders, upon conversion could own a majority of the shares of the Company and
it is further possible that the issuance of this unquantifiable number of our
Company’s shares will have a negative impact on the market price of our
shares. While the terms of the Notes Payable limit the holdings of
any one shareholder to 9.99%, there is no prohibition on that note holder from
converting part of the debt, selling the resulting shares and then converting
additional amounts of debt held. This could place additional downward
pressure on the market price of our shares.
On June
2, 2009 the market price of our shares was $0.69, resulting in a potential
issuance of 37,873,458 post split, common shares had all the eligible debt been
converted on that date.
However
as more fully described in the section below, the Company has entered into Oral
Agreements to mitigate the effects of the default, and to fix the number of
shares to be issued, notwithstanding the terms of the notes
payable.
The
conversion of the debt, even after the limitation on the number of shares under
the Oral Agreement, will result in the issuance of an additional
12,478,357 shares, which will have a material, dilutive effect upon existing
shareholders. Such a large issuance of additional shares may also
have a negative effect upon the price of our shares traded on the OTC bulletin
board. In addition the effect of the Oral Agreement described below,
will result in a derivative, the recognition of which will materially impact the
financial statements of the Company.
Oral
Agreements
The
predecessor debt is held by third parties who have lodged their holdings with
Cloud Capital. In 2008, Cloud Capital entered into a formal
custodial arrangement with 16 participants. Cloud has no
discretionary power and acts solely as custodian taking direction from each
participant. Each participant lodged a basket of securities with the
custodian made up of common, convertible preferred and convertible debt at the
time of the IMHI acquisition of TeleChem on February 21, 2008.
In
January 2008, the Company entered into an oral agreement with each of the
participants whereby the participant agreed to a fixed number of shares for
their "basket" of securities. However, On February 20, 2009 the participants
became discouraged with the efforts of the company to complete the regulatory
filings and requested that the original oral agreement be
abrogated. The Company then came to a new oral agreement with each of
the participants that included the following:
(a) All
prior agreements are now null and void.
(b) The
quantum of shares being made available to the 16 participants will be fixed at
12,478,357.
(c) The
18,695 common shares, held by the participants, are issued and outstanding and
will be not be affected by the new oral agreement.
(d) The
2,926,787 pre-split, (936,572 post-split) series A preferred shares will be
surrendered for cancellation without compensation by each of the
participants.
(e) The
debt of $1,993,450 and estimated penalty and interest of $1,555,750 for a total
approximation of $3,549,200 will be converted into 12,478,357 common shares
being a fixed number of common shares regardless of the interest and penalties
that continue to accrue.
COMPARISON
OF OPERATING RESULTS
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008, COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2007
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, revenues were $4,063,149, compared to $3,821,490
for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $241,659 or approximately
6% from the prior period.
The
increase in revenues was principally due to the Company’s expansion into new
markets during fiscal 2008, versus 2007.
Cost of
sales decreased $19,795 or 1% to $2,643,974 for the year ended December 31,
2008, compared to $2,663,769 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Gross
profit increased $261,454 or 23% to $1,419,175 for the year ended December 31,
2008 compared to $1,157,721 for the year ended December 31,
2007. Gross profit increased largely due to the increase in
total revenue which was offset by the decrease in total cost of
revenues.
General
and administrative expenses were $1,346,046 and $1,240,709, for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, constituting an increase
of $105,337 or approximately 9% from the prior period. The increase
in general and administrative expenses was due to mainly to expenses associated
with the Company being a public company and the Company’s public company
reporting obligations, including consulting and accounting fees.
Other
income and expense was a net other expense of $2,020,548 and net other income of
$202,818 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. Other expense for 2008 included interest expense of
$721,408 and loss on derivatives $1,299,139 Other income and
expense for the year ended December 31, 2007, included interest expense of
$521,502 and gain on derivatives of $724,320. The main reason for the
$199,906 or 38% increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31,
2008, compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, was due to debts assumed
with the merger during 2008.
The
Company had net loss of $2,029,693 for the year ended December 31, 2008,
compared to net loss of $1,775,438 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a
increase in net loss of $254,255 or 14% from the prior period. The
main reason for the increase in net loss was the loss on derivative liability
during the year ended December 31, 2008.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had
total assets of $907,133 and total liabilities of $11,755,125 as of December 31,
2008. We had total negative working capital of $10,760,689 as of December 31,
2008.
We had
net cash provided by operating activities of $75,979 that is mainly due to loss
on derivatives and increase in account payable and accrued
liabilities.
We had
$75,979 of net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31,
2008, which included $ 185,329 of proceeds from note payable, offset by $109,350
of payments on notes payables.
We relied
on our officers and directors or any of our shareholders to supplement our
operations or provide us with financing. If we are unable to increase
revenues from operations, to raise additional capital from conventional sources
and/or additional sales of stock in the future, we may be forced to curtail or
cease our operations. In the future, we may be required to seek additional
capital by selling debt or equity securities. The sale of additional equity or
debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then
shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in
amounts or on terms acceptable
to us, or
at all.
During
the next twelve months the Company’s cash needs should in the opinion of
Management not exceed $200,000. It is the intention of management to
raise funds from a private placement to meet the need for $200,000 of negative
cash flow from operations and mandatory debt
repayment. Should the Company not be able to raise such
funds, it will need to reduce expenses by laying off staff and curtailing
development.
In the
long term, the Company will need significant amounts of net cash to fund its
research and development, to provide working capital and to repay its
debt. Failure to raise new capital will severely impact the
Company’s ability to complete its business plan as more fully described
above.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Arrayit
Corporation.
Sunnyvale,
California
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arrayit Corporation as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Arrayit
Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the company has suffered recurring losses and has working capital
and stockholder deficits. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those
matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
As
disclosed in Note 17 to the financial statements, the Company restated its 2008
and 2007 financial statements to correcting accounting for debt obligations and
discontinued operations.

Delaware, and reverse-split its common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred
stock in the ratio of one for thirty shares. Arrayit has a December
31 year end.
Effective
February 21, 2008, TeleChem International, Inc. (“TeleChem”) completed the Plan
and Agreement of Merger between Integrated Media Holdings Inc. (“IMHI”),
TeleChem, the majority shareholders of TeleChem, Endavo Media and
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and TCI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada
corporation, and wholly-owned subsidiary of IMHI. Consummation of the
merger did not require a vote of the IMHI shareholders. IMHI issued
103,143 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to the shareholders of
TeleChem in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of TeleChem resulting in
TeleChem being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The former
shareholders of TeleChem then owned approximately 99.51% of the outstanding
interest and voting rights of the parent company. The Preferred Stock
is convertible into 36,100,000 shares of common stock after, but not before, the
effective date of the reverse split of the outstanding IMHI common
stock.
NOTE
2- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Description
of Business
Arrayit
Corporation is a Nevada Corporation, formerly known as TeleChem International,
Inc., that entered into the life sciences in 1996. Arrayit is a
leading edge developer, manufacturer and marketer of next-generation life
science tools and integrated systems for the large scale analysis of genetic
variation, biological function and diagnostics. Using Arrayit’s proprietary
technologies, the Company provides a comprehensive line of products and services
that currently serve the sequencing, genotyping, gene expression and protein
analysis markets, and the Company expects to enter the market for molecular
diagnostics.
Arrayit
has earned respect as a leader in the health care and life sciences industries
with its proven expertise in three key areas: the development and
support of microarray tools and components, custom printing and analysis of
microarrays for research, and the identification and development of diagnostic
microarrays and tools for early detection of treatable disease
states.
As a
result, Arrayit has provided tools and services to thousands of the leading
genomic research centers, pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions,
clinical research organizations, government agencies and biotechnology companies
worldwide.
The
Company’s patented tools and trade secrets provide researchers around the world
with the performance, throughput, cost effectiveness and flexibility necessary
to perform the billions of genetic tests needed to extract valuable medical
information. The Company believes this information will enable researchers to
correlate genetic variation and biological function, which will enhance drug
discovery, drug
development
and clinical research, allowing diseases to be detected earlier and permitting
better choices of drugs for individual patients.
Arrayit’s
principal office is in Sunnyvale, California. Arrayit presently has ten
employees.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents
Cash
includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which,
at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses on these accounts.
Investments
in certificates of deposit with our bankers that contain prohibition on their
redemption are treated as non-current assets and included in restricted
cash.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the
straight-line method over the three to five year estimated useful lives of the
assets.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Arrayit
reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Arrayit evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances
have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate
of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets
over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are
recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on
expected cash flows, such loss is recognized in the statement of
operations.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost determined on the basis of
FIFO.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers upon
delivery based on terms of sale and collectability is reasonably
assured.
Shipping
and Handling Costs
Shipping
and handling costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and
handling costs paid to vendors are recorded as cost of sales.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets of all financial
instruments approximates their fair values because of the immediate or
short-term maturity of these financial instruments or comparable interest rates
of similar instruments.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company records an allowance for estimated losses on customer accounts. The
allowance is increased by a provision for bad debts, which is charged to
expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Patent
Costs
Costs
incurred with registering and defending patent technology are charged to expense
as incurred.
Derivative
Instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, requires all derivatives to be
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. These derivatives, including
embedded derivatives, are separately valued and accounted for on our balance
sheet.
Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF
00-19"), requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company's own
stock, including warrants to purchase common stock, to be designated as an
equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under the provisions of EITF 00-19, a
contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on
a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the
company’s results of operations. A contract designated as an equity instrument
must be included within equity, and no fair value adjustments are
required.
Following
guidance by SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, we determined the conversion feature of
our “SOV Cap” notes , Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“SSCN”) and the warrants
associated with the SSCN notes should be treated as separate derivative
liabilities on our balance sheet under current liabilities. Unrealized changes
in the value of these derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statement of
operations as a gain or loss on derivative liabilities. Fair values of the
derivative liability associated with the conversion features and
warrants are determined using a Black-Scholes Model.
Income
Taxes
Prior to
February 21, 2008, the financial statements of TeleChem did not include a
provision for Income Taxes because the taxable income of Telechem was included
in the Income Tax Returns of the Stockholders under the Internal Revenue Service
"S" Corporation elections.
Upon
completion of the February 21, 2008 transaction with IMHI as more fully
described in Note 1, TeleChem ceased to be
treated as an
"S" Corporation for Income Tax purposes. Effective
March 19, 2009, Arrayit Corporation became a Nevada C Corporation.
Deferred
taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are not recognized
unless it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized in future
years.
The
Company applies the provisions of FASB, Interpretation No. 48, or FIN 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB
Statement 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to
be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon
examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the
largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being
realized upon ultimate settlement.
When
applicable, the Company will include interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions in income tax expense.
Loss
per Common and Common Equivalent Share
The
computation of basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of
diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year plus common stock equivalents which would
arise from their exercise using the treasury stock method and the average market
price per share during the year. No common stock equivalents were
outstanding during 2007.
Recent
Accounting Prononcements
In
December, 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and SFAS
No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. FAS
No. 141(R) is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS No.
160.These standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively to business
combinations completed on or after that date. Early adoption is
prohibited. FAS 141(R) requires changes in accounting
for acquisitions and FAS 160 will change the accounting for minority
interests. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 amends and
expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”) to require
qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives,
quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on
derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit risk-related contingent
features in derivative agreements. The Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. Early application is encouraged. The
Company is currently assessing the financial impact of SFAS 161 on its financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement)”. FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt
instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to
separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option)
components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s
non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Such separate accounting also
requires accretion of the resulting discount on the liability component of the
debt to result in interest expense equal to an issuer’s nonconvertible debt
borrowing rate. In addition, the FSP provides for certain changes related to the
measurement and accounting related to derecognition, modification or exchange.
FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on
a retroactive basis. The impact of this standard cannot be determined
until the transactions occur.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles". FAS No. 162 identifies the sources
of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the
principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is
effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles".
The adoption of this statement is not expected effect on the Company's financial
statements.
NOTE
3- GOING CONCERN
At
December 31, 2008 Arrayit has a working capital deficit of $10,700,689, a
stockholders' deficit of $10,847,992, and recurring net losses. These factors
create substantial doubt about Arrayit’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary
if Arrayit is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
ability of Arrayit to continue as a going concern is dependent on Arrayit
generating cash from the sale of its common stock or obtaining debt financing
and attaining future profitable operations. Management's plans include selling
its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital
requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance Arrayit
will be successful in these efforts.
NOTE
4 – CASH AND RESTRICTED CASH
Cash on
hand and bank overdrafts represent cash that may freely be used in the conduct
of our business.
At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, restricted cash was composed of a $100,000
Certificate of Deposit and accrued interest of $735 and $3,836, respectively,
lodged with our bankers as security for a $100,000 letter of deposit we were
mandated to lodge with the Pennsylvania court, as part of the Pediatrix legal
action more fully described in Note 10. Upon finalization of the
legal action, the letter of credit will be returned and the bankers will release
the restrictions on the Certificate of Deposit.

NOTE
6 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SOLD WITH RECOURSE
Pursuant
to an agreement dated July 5, 2007, the Company has sold some of its Accounts
Receivable to a financial institution with full recourse. The
financial institution retains a 15% portion of the proceeds from the receivable
sales as reserves, which are released to the Company as the Receivables are
collected. The maximum commitment under this facility is $500,000,
and is limited to receivables that are less than 31 days outstanding. The
facility bears interest at prime plus 7% currently 11.50% at December 31, 2008,
and is secured by an unconditional guarantee of the Company and a first charge
against the Accounts Receivable. At December 31, 2008, the balance
outstanding under the recourse contracts was $385,639 net of a hold back reserve
of $79,742 (2007 net - $ 230,498). Because of the Company’s
credit policies, repossession losses and refunds in the event of default have
not been significant and losses under the present recourse obligations are not
expected to be significant, it is at least reasonably possible that the
Company’s estimate will change within the near term.

Derivative
Liabilities
Convertible
Notes
From
November 2003 to August 2004, the Company issued promissory notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $405,300. These Promissory Notes carry an interest
rate of 18% and was payable within ten (10) days from the demand by the holder,
which demand may be made at any time after 120 days from the issuance of the
Promissory Notes. Interest is payable in cash or shares of common
stock. The notes are convertible into our common shares at 75% of
volume weighted average price for five (5) trading days prior to conversion
date. As of December 31, 2008, the Company is in default of these Promissory
Notes.
The
Company evaluated the convertible debentures under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivatives" and EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock". The Company
determined that the convertible debentures contained an embedded derivative for
the conversion option. The conversion option allows for an indeterminate number
of shares to potentially be issued upon conversion.
This
results in the Company being unable to determine with certainty they will have
enough shares available to settle any and all outstanding common stock
equivalent instruments. The Company would be required to obtain
shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares needed to share
settle those contracts. Because increasing the number of shares authorized is
outside of the Company’s control, this results in these instruments being
classified as liabilities under EITF 00-19 and derivatives under SFAS No. 133.
As a result, the Company has determined that all existing outstanding
convertible notes are also subject to EITF 00-19 and SFAS No. 133. The
terms of those Notes and Promissory Notes were disclosed under Note
9.
The fair
value of the derivative instruments – convertible debentures is estimated using
the intrinsic values of the conversion feature of the debentures. The Promissory
Notes are carried at full face value as they are in default. In
addition, the fair market value of the related derivative liabilities is
recorded as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 to be $1,525,684 and $326,524,
respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, a $38,424 and
$724,320 decrease in the fair value of the derivative instruments-convertible
notes was recorded as unrealized loss on fair value of derivative instruments in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Warrants
In
January 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of common
stock. The Company evaluated the convertible debentures and the
warrants under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivatives" and EITF 00-19
"Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially
Settled in a Company's Own Stock". The Company determined that the warrants
qualified as free standing derivatives as the Company is unable to determine
with certainty they will have enough shares available to settle any and all
outstanding common stock equivalent instruments. The Company would be
required to obtain shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized
shares needed to share settle those contracts. Because increasing the number of
shares authorized is outside of the Company’s control, this results in these
instruments being classified as liabilities under EITF 00-19 and derivatives
under SFAS No. 133.
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, a $1,337,564 increase in the fair value of the
derivative instruments-warrants was recorded as unrealized loss on fair value of
derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statement of
operations.
The fair
value of the derivative instruments – warrants is estimated using the

12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Pediatrix
Screening, Inc., et al. V. TeleChem International, Inc.
The
controversy at issue arose from a failed grant collaboration between Pediatrix
and TeleChem, involving TeleChem’s proprietary microarray technology and
subsequent agreement by the parties to commercialize this microarray technology
through the formation of a joint corporation. Pediatrix brought a
lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania alleging multiple claims for breach of contract in connection with
both the grant collaboration and Pre-Incorporation
Agreement. TeleChem counterclaimed alleging breach of the
Pre-Incorporation Agreement, as well as fraudulent misrepresentation and trade
secret misappropriation, inter alia ,
stemming from the failed grant collaboration and subsequent Pre-Incorporation
Agreement.
On August
11, 2007, the jury returned a verdict finding that, while both parties were in
breach of contract, Pediatrix also engaged in fraudulent misrepresentation and
awarded TeleChem $500,000 in damages and $3,500,000 in punitive damages for the
fraudulent misrepresentation claim and $1,000,000 in damages on the breach of
contract claim. The jury also awarded Pediatrix $1,085,000 in
damages for Pediatrix’s breach of contract claim against TeleChem.
Pediatrix’s
Rule 59 motion to amend the judgement was denied by the District
Court. Pediatrix appealed the jury verdict on fraudulent
misrepresentation and the $4,000,000 in damages awarded thereunder to the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Pediatrix has indicated that
it will not pursue on appeal the breach of contract verdict and damage award
against it. TeleChem did not appeal any portion of the jury
verdict.
The
appeal is currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit.

Company leases its office facility in Sunnyvale, California under operating

15 – Reverse Merger Accounting
On
February 6, 2008, Integrated Media Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“IMHI” or the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the
“Original Filing”) announcing, among other things, the merger of TeleChem
International, Inc. (“TeleChem”) a privately held Delaware
corporation (“TeleChem”) with and into a wholly-owned
subsidiary of IMHI (the “Merger”), and that as a result TeleChem became a
wholly owned subsidiary of IMHI.
It
is the intention of the parties for IMHI to divest itself of those
operations designated as Discontinued Operations in IMHI's December 31,
2007 Form 10-KSB, upon completion of the merger.
For
accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of
IMHI and a recapitalization of TeleChem. TeleChem is the accounting
acquirer and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the
operations of IMHI are not carried
over.
|
(a) Issue Preferred Shares for
TeleChem's net assets and consultants fees
Issue
Warrants for Consultants
Effective
February 21, 2008, we completed the Plan and Agreement of Merger by and among
us, TeleChem International, Inc., the majority shareholders of TeleChem, Endavo
Media and Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation and TCI Acquisition
Corp., a Nevada corporation, and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. Consummation of the merger did not require a vote of our
shareholders. We issued 103,143 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock to the Shareholders of TeleChem in exchange for 100% of the
equity interests of TeleChem resulting in TeleChem being a wholly owned
subsidiary and also as compensation for services in connection with the
acquisition..
The
former shareholders of TeleChem and the consultants now own approximately 98.51%
of the outstanding interest and voting rights of the parent
company. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 36,100,000 shares of
common stock after, but not before, the effective date of the reverse split of
the outstanding Integrated Media common stock, with conversions in any quarter
being limited to 25% of the original issued Series C preferred shares to the
holder.
The value
of the 3,143 Series C preferred shares issued to consultants, convertible at 350
to one common shares was determined by applying the close on the OTCBB of $0.09
to yield $99,000
On
January 19, 2008 IMHI issued 1,250,000 warrants to some IMHI noteholders,
expiring on January 19, 2013 exercisable at $0.01, in connection with the
Arrayit business combination. At February 21, 2008 the market value
of the IMHI shares was $0.09, yielding an expense of $100,000.
(b) Elimination of IMHI’s
Stockholders’ Equity.
In
accordance with reverse acquisition accounting, the financial statements
subsequent to the date of the transaction will be presented as a continuation of
Arrayit and as a result the stockholders' equity of IMHI which is equal to the
book value of net assets, has been eliminated as follows:
Total Elimination
IMHI
additional paid in
capital 32,878,201
IMHI accumulated
deficit (29,335,887)
Adjusted book value of IMHI net assets
3,542,314
(f)Restatement of Share Capital
Under Reverse Merger Accounting
In
accounting for this reverse merger, the legal share capital is that of
IMHI (the legal parent) and the value of the share capital is calculated
as described above.
Upon
completion of this transaction, Arrayit will have 17,499,262 of its $
0.001 par value common share issued and outstanding and 3,697,611 of its $
0.001 pare value Series A preferred shares issued and outstanding and nil
of its $ 0.001 par value Series C preferred shares issued and
outstanding.
In
addition, Arrayit will have 1,250,000 warrants and options to purchase
common shares after reflecting the cancellation of 1,750,000 common stock
purchase warrants surrendered as consideration for the disposition of the
former Endavo subsidiary of IMHI.
|
NOTE
16 – INCOME TAXES
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards
available to offset future taxable income of approximately $12 million including
approximately $11.5 million from IMHI at date of the merger. The utilization of
the NOL carry-forwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the
NOL carry-forwards can be utilized. It is also likely that utilization of the
NOL carry-forwards are limited based on changes in control from the merger. A
valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset due to the
uncertainty surrounding its realization caused by the Company’s recurring
losses. The NOL carryforwards will expire in 2018.
Prior to
merger, the financial statements of TeleChem did not include a provision for
income taxes because the taxable income of Telechem was included in the income
tax returns of the stockholders under Internal Revenue Service "S" Corporation
elections. Upon completion of the merger, Telecom ceased to be treated as an “S”
Corporation for income tax purposes income tax purposes.
NOTE

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
review and evaluation of the company’s internal controls over financial
reporting did not involve a recognized framework for financial controls and was
limited to the identification of risks associated with the limited number of
personnel employed by the company and the direct involvement of the CEO and
CFO in most business functions. In its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008, our management determined that there were control deficiencies that
constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
Lack of Effective Corporate
Governance Policies and Procedures. We do not have effective policies
regarding the independence of or directors and do not have independent
directors. The lack of independent directors means that there is no effective
review, authorization, or oversight of management or management’s actions by
persons that were not involved in approving or executing those actions. This has
resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors
does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an
audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation
S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across
the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute
a material weakness.
We have
no conflicts of interest policies and there is no provision for the review and
approval of transactions between the Company and interested members of
management.
Lack of Effective Policies Regarding
the General Accounting System. We do not have any documented processes
for the input, accumulation, or testing of financial data that would provide
assurance that all transactions are accurately and timely recorded or that the
financial reports will be prepared on a periodic basis.
Lack of Effective Control over
Financial Statement Disclosure. We do not maintain effective
controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not
designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally
addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management
has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness.
Because
of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated
Framework" issued by the COSO.
Management
has determined that the Company does not have the financial resources or
personnel to address any of the material weaknesses identified or to conduct a
more robust evaluation of its controls. As resources become available,
management will develop and implement remedial actions to address the material
weaknesses it has identified.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most
recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Ms. Schena
holds a degree in Language Studies from the University of California Santa Cruz.
She has 23 years experience in international business, including translation,
contract documentation and commodities trading with a subsidiary of ConAgra from
1985 to 1988, and as a chemical import and distribution specialist, department
manager, and later President of NuSource Chemical Corporation.
She
founded TeleChem International, Inc. in 1993, continuing the import and export
chemical distribution specialty, expanding into government bid business, and
moving into the biotech sector in 1996. TeleChem is a market leader
in DNA microarray technology, providing tools and expertise for the explosive
functional genomics and diagnostic screening markets. In 2002 and
again in 2003, TeleChem made Inc. Magazine’s list of the top 500 fastest growing
privately held companies in the USA. In 2005, the Silicon Valley Business
Journal recognized Ms Schena as the President of the 11 th largest
woman-owned business enterprise in the Silicon Valley. Ms. Schena’s
long-term contacts in the chemical industry, strong business background and
management expertise are key contributions to TeleChem's
infrastructure.
Mr.
Martinsky , Co-founder of TeleChem International, Inc., previously served
as director of education and consulting at the Codd and Date Consulting
Group. Mr. Martinsky has led the Arrayit Division to play a
significant role in the microarray industry. He has authored several book
chapters and other scientific literature and has become an internationally
recognized lecturer, writer, consultant and teacher. In addition to
providing consulting services, Mr. Martinsky has spearheaded Arrayit’s technical
support team since 1997. Along with his daily technical and business
direction of the Arrayit Product line, Mr. Martinsky established successful
alliances with corporate partners in manufacturing, reagents, equipment and
distribution. He is responsible for an educational outreach program
that ensures that the broadly patented Arrayit Micro Spotting Device is applied
in the field with optimal scientific and technological accuracy. He is currently
serving on the panel that is crafting future regulatory requirements for
microarray manufacturing for the United States Pharmacopeia.
Dr. Schena
is a world-renowned biochemist whose research focuses on microarray technology,
genomics, proteomics, genotyping, molecular diagnostics, and gene
expression. Dr. Schena and his colleagues at Stanford University
published the first paper on microarrays in 1995 (Science 270, 467-470),
catalyzing the explosive proliferation of microarray technology at academic and
commercial institutions internationally. The 95’ Science paper is the
most highly cited paper in the history of Arabidopsis research and a recent
article in The Scientist places Dr. Schena at positions 1 and 2 on the
“microarray family tree”, confirming his role as the founder of microarray
technology and substantiating his status as the Father of Microarray Technology.
More than 20,000 laboratories in 35 countries are using microarrays to explore
basic questions in biology, chemistry, agriculture and medicine, and the
proliferation of the technology has resulted in more than 26,000 publications
since the original 95’ Science publication.
Dr.
Schena is currently a Visiting Scholar and Consultant in the Arrayit® Life
Sciences Division at TeleChem International, Inc. Dr. Schena is also
the Chairman of NGS-Arrayit, Inc and the Founder and President of Mark Schena

Our

and intended to retain and motivate individuals with the necessary experience to
accomplish our overall business objectives within the limits of our available
resources. Consequently, the guiding principles of our compensation
programs are:
|
|
simplicity,
clarity, and fairness to both the employee and the
Company;
|
|
|
preservation
of Company resources, including available cash;
and
|
|
|
opportunity
to receive fair compensation if the Company is
successful.
|
Each
element of our compensation program contributes to these overall goals in a
different way.
|
|
Base
Salary and Benefits are designed to provide a minimum threshold to attract
and retain employees identified as necessary for our
success.
|
|
|
Cash
Bonuses and equity awards are designed to provide supplemental
compensation when the Company achieves financial or operational goals
within the limits of our available
resources.
|
All

CODE
OF BUSINESS ETHICS
1.0
INTRODUCTION
Integrated
Media Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Integrated Media", "we", or "our")
are committed to conducting our business with uncompromising integrity and
ethics. This Code of Business Ethics (this "Code") outlines the standards of
business conduct in furtherance of this commitment. All of our directors,
officers, employees and representatives, including all agents, consultants, and
contractors, are expected to read and understand this Code, uphold these
standards in day-to-day activities, and comply with all other applicable
Integrated Media policies and procedures.
The
principles described in this Code are general in nature and are intended to
provide guidance in recognizing and resolving legal and ethical issues that may
arise in conducting our business. Integrated Media may modify this Code at any
time. This Code does not include all of our policies. Please consult our
policies and procedures for more specific instruction. If you still have
questions or remain uncertain about how to handle a particular matter, please
contact the human resources personnel or General Counsel for further
direction.
2.0
IMPORTANCE OF COMPLIANCE
Ethical
business conduct is crucial to our reputation and success. Our reputation for
integrity and ethics cannot be taken for granted. To maintain our reputation, it
is your responsibility to respect and comply with this Code and the law, and to
exercise good judgment in your decisions and actions.
Part of
your job and ethical responsibility is to help enforce this Code. Violations or
possible violations of law, this Code, or other Integrated Media policies and
procedures should be reported to the human resources personnel, Counsel, the
Chief Executive Officer or other appropriate Integrated Media management. We
will promptly respond to your report of unlawful or unethical conduct, and if
necessary, assign an independent party to investigate and make recommendations.
You are expected to cooperate in any internal or external investigations of
possible violations. Violations of law, this Code or other Integrated Media
policies and procedures by Integrated Media employees can lead to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination of employment.
We
strictly prohibit retaliation against any person who in good faith reports a
violation or a suspected violation of law, this Code or our other policies, or
against any person who is assisting in any investigation or process with respect
to such a violation. Any retaliation against an employee because the employee,
in good faith, sought help or filed a report will result in disciplinary action,
up to and including termination of employment.
3.0
RESPONSIBILITIES AS AN Integrated Media EMPLOYEE
3.1 Positive Work
Environment
We
endeavor to maintain a positive work environment for our employees. We strictly
prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color,
national origin, religion, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability,
age, veteran status, or other factors that are unrelated to our business
interests. Integrated Media expects you to exercise good judgment to ensure the
safety and welfare of others in the workplace, and to foster a work environment
emphasizing respect and teamwork. These standards do not only apply while
working on our premises, but also when you are at offsite locations where our
business is being conducted, at Integrated Media-sponsored business and social
events, or at any other place where you are a representative of Integrated
Media.
3.2 Avoiding Conflicts of
Interest
While we
respect the privacy of our employees in the conduct of their personal affairs,
you should avoid any activity in which your personal interests may come into
conflict, or appear to conflict, with our interests. The following are some
examples of conflicts of interest:
3.2.1 Employment/Outside
Employment.
As an
employee of Integrated Media, you are expected to devote your best efforts,
time, ability and attention to the business interests of Integrated Media. You
are not to engage in any activity that interferes with your performance or
responsibilities to Integrated Media or is otherwise in conflict with or
prejudicial to Integrated Media. You must disclose to Integrated Media any
interest that you have that may conflict with our business. For example, if you
are employed by or are otherwise providing services on behalf of another
company, it is a conflict of interest to market products in competition with our
current or future products. Further, such separate employment may not conflict
with your invention-rights or confidentiality obligations to Integrated
Media.
3.2.2 Service on Outside Boards and
Committees.
You
cannot serve on a board of directors or trustees, or on a committee of any
entity whose interests reasonably could be expected to conflict with those of
Integrated Media. You must obtain prior written approval from the Chief
Executive Officer before accepting any outside board or committee position. If
approved, and you hold such a position, you must do so on your own time and must
not hold yourself out as a representative of Integrated Media in connection with
providing such services. Any compensation you receive should be commensurate to
your responsibilities. Such approval may be conditioned upon the completion of
specified actions. In the event that Integrated Media requests that you serve on
a board to represent our interests, you will be paid as an employee and are not
to receive any remuneration as a result of serving on such board.
Notwithstanding the above, you are not required to seek permission to sit on a
board for non-profit or charitable organizations where the likelihood of any
conflict of interest is remote.
3.2.3 Business
Interests.
If you
are considering an investment in a customer, supplier or competitor of
Integrated Media, and you are in a position to influence a decision relating to
such customer, supplier or competitor, we urge you to first ensure that these
investments do not compromise your responsibilities to Integrated Media. Many
factors should be taken into account when determining whether a conflict exists,
including the size and nature of the investment; your ability to influence our
decisions; your access to our confidential information or of the other company;
and the nature of the relationship between Integrated Media and the other
company.
3.2.4 Family Members.
The
actions of family members may give rise to conflicts of interest because they
may influence your objectivity in making decisions on behalf of Integrated
Media. As a general rule, you should avoid conducting our business with a
relative or significant other, or with a business in which a relative or
significant other is associated in any significant role. Relatives include
spouse, sister, brother, daughter, son, mother, father, grandparents, aunts,
uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, step relationships and in-laws. Significant
others include persons living in a spousal or familial fashion with an
employee.
Integrated
Media prohibits the employment of close relatives and significant others in
positions or assignments where there is a direct or indirect reporting
relationship or where an actual or appearance of a conflict of interest exists.
Please refer to our Employment of Relatives policy for further
guidance.
3.2.5 Other
Situations.
Other
conflicts of may arise that have not been addressed above. If you
have a doubt whether a proposed transaction or situation raises a conflict of
interest, please contact the Human Resources Department or the Legal
Department.
Integrated
Media requires that you disclose any situation that could be expected to give
rise to a conflict of interest. If you suspect that you have a conflict of
interest, or something that others could reasonably perceive as a conflict of
interest, you must report it immediately to the Human Resources Department or
the Legal Department. While such situations are not automatically prohibited,
they are not desirable and may only be waived by our Chief Financial Officer or
Chief Executive Officer and with the concurrence of the General Counsel.
Conflicts of interest of our Board of Directors, executive officers or other
principal officers may only be waived by our Board of Directors and/or the
appropriate committee of our Board of Directors and will be disclosed to the
public as required by law.
3.3 Avoiding Exploitation of Corporate
Opportunities for Personal Gain
Each of
us has an obligation to put the interests of Integrated Media ahead of our
personal interests and to advance our interests when the opportunity to do so
arises. Accordingly, you may not exploit for your own personal gain business
opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property,
information or position if in conflict with our interests. For example, if you
become aware of an opportunity to purchase equipment at below market rates
through your employment with Integrated Media, you cannot seek to personally
gain from such opportunity if such opportunity will conflict with our
interests.
3.4 Gifts and Other
Activities
Receiving
and giving business gifts of nominal value is permissible where customary.
Receiving cash or gifts of significant value is strictly prohibited. Customary
business activities, including meals, transportation and celebratory events, are
proper unless the value, cost, or frequency of the business activities are such
that they could be interpreted as affecting an otherwise objective business
decision. Gifts and other activities should never compromise, or appear to
compromise, your ability to make objective and fair business decisions. Please
refer to our Gift and Activity Policy for additional information.
Gifts
given by Integrated Media to suppliers or customers should always be appropriate
to the circumstances and should never be of a kind or nature that could create
an appearance of impropriety. The nature and cost must always be accurately
recorded in our books and records.
3.5 Protecting our Confidential
Information and Intellectual Property
Our
confidential information is a valuable asset and protecting it is the
responsibility of all of us. our confidential information includes but is not
limited to: data, know-how, trade secrets, designs, mask works, plans, drawings,
specifications, algorithms, developmental or experimental work, test results,
reports, pricing and financial information, product plans, product roadmaps,
customer and supplier lists, marketing techniques and materials, organizational
charts, and personnel information. This information is the property of
Integrated Media and may be protected by patent, trademark, copyright, mask
work, trade secret, and other laws. This obligation extends to confidential
information of third parties, which we have rightfully received under
Non-Disclosure Agreements. Please see Handling Confidential Information of
Others set forth in Section 4.4 of this Code.
3.4.1 Employee Confidentiality and
Invention Agreement.
When you
joined Integrated Media, you signed an agreement to protect our confidential and
proprietary information. This agreement remains in effect for as long as you
work for Integrated Media and after you leave Integrated Media. Under this
agreement, you may not disclose our confidential information to anyone or use it
to benefit anyone other than Integrated Media unless compelled to do so by court
order.
3.4.2 Disclosure of Company Confidential
Information.
From time
to time, we may disclose our confidential information to third parties to
further our business. However, you should never make such disclosure without
first carefully considering its potential benefits and risks. If you determine,
in consultation with your manager and other appropriate Integrated Media
management, that disclosure of confidential information is necessary, you must
then contact the Legal Department to ensure that an appropriate written
nondisclosure agreement is signed prior to any disclosure. We have standard
nondisclosure agreements suitable for most disclosures.
3.4.3 Requests by Regulatory
Authorities.
Integrated
Media and its employees must cooperate with appropriate government inquiries and
investigations. In this context, however, it is important to protect the legal
rights of Integrated Media with respect to its confidential information. All
government requests for information, documents or investigative interviews must
be referred to our Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel. No information
may be disclosed to regulatory authorities without the prior approval of the
Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel.
3.4.4 Public
Communications.
Integrated
Media has established an External Communications Policy regarding who may
communicate information to the press and the financial analyst community. All
inquiries or calls from the press and financial analysts should be referred to
the Chief Financial Officer. Integrated Media has designated certain individuals
in the External Communications Policy who are authorized to act as a
spokesperson on its behalf. These designees and other individuals designated by
them from time to time are the only people who may communicate with the press or
financial analysts on our behalf. Making statements, answering questions, or
otherwise communicating with the press or financial analysts outside the narrow
guidelines of our External Communications Policy is strictly
prohibited.
3.6 Safeguarding our
Assets
3.4.1
General. Safeguarding our assets is the responsibility of everyone. Each of us
must use care to ensure that assets are not misappropriated, loaned to others,
sold or donated, without appropriate authorization. You are also responsible for
the proper use of our assets, and must safeguard such assets against loss,
damage, misuse or theft. Our equipment and assets are to be used only for our
business purposes. You may not use our assets for non-incidental personal use,
nor allow other persons to use our assets.
3.4.2 Physical Access
Control.
Integrated
Media has and will continue to develop procedures covering physical access
control to ensure privacy of communications, maintenance of the security of its
communication equipment and to safeguard its assets from theft, misuse and
destruction. You are personally responsible for complying with the level of
access control that has been implemented in the facility where you work on a
permanent or temporary basis. You must not defeat or cause to be defeated the
purpose for which the access control was implemented.
3.4.3 Company Funds.
Every
employee is personally responsible for all our funds over which he or she
exercises control. Our agents, consultants and contractors should not be allowed
to exercise control over our funds without the prior written approval of the
Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer. In all cases, our funds
must be used only for our business purposes. Each of us must take reasonable
steps to ensure that we receive good value for Company funds spent, and must
maintain accurate and timely records of each and every expenditure.
3.4.4 Computers and Other
Equipment.
Integrated
Media provides you with the equipment necessary to efficiently and effectively
perform your job. This equipment remains our property. It is your responsibility
to take all reasonable actions to care and protect our equipment while it is in
your possession. If you use our equipment at your home or off-site, you should
take precautions to protect it from theft or damage. Please refer to our
Teleworking Policy for additional information. Our equipment is for business
purposes, and you may not use it for non-incidental personal use. Once you cease
working for Integrated Media, you must immediately return all of our
equipment.
3.4.5 Software.
Software
is protected from unauthorized copying and use by federal and state law. All
software used by employees on Integrated Media systems must be appropriately
licensed. Unauthorized copying or use of software exposes Integrated Media and
you to potential civil and criminal liability. Our Information Technology
Department may inspect our computers periodically to verify that only licensed
software has been installed. Any non-licensed software will be
removed.
3.4.6 Electronic Communications Systems
Security.
Integrated
Media requires employees to utilize electronic communication systems in a legal,
ethical and appropriate manner. Electronic communications systems within the
organization, include but are not limited to computers, software, e-mail,
connections to the Internet, intranet and extranet and any other public or
private networks, voicemail, video conferencing, facsimiles and telephones. They
also include all communications and records, files, software, and electronic
communications or messages sent, received, or contained in such systems. Posting
or discussing information concerning our products or business on the Internet
without the prior written consent of our Chief Financial Officer or other
designated officer is prohibited. Any other form of electronic communication
provided by Integrated Media, that is used by employees currently or in the
future, is also intended to be encompassed under this policy. It is not possible
to identify every standard and rule applicable to the use of electronic
communications devices. You are therefore encouraged to use sound judgment
whenever using any feature of our communications systems. Please refer to our
Electronic Communications Systems Security Policy for additional
information.
You are
not entitled to an expectation of privacy with respect to information
transmitted over, received by or stored in any electronic communications system
owned, leased or operated in whole or in part by or on behalf of Integrated
Media. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Integrated Media retains the
right to gain access to any information received by, transmitted by or stored in
any such electronic communications system, by and through its employees, agents,
contractors or representatives, at any time, either with or without an
employee's or third party's knowledge, consent or approval.
3.7 Recording and Reporting
Information
3.7.1 Accounting and Financial
Reporting.
As a
public company, we are required to report financial information accurately and
completely, and have appropriate internal controls to ensure that accounting and
financial reporting complies with the law. Accurate accounting records and
compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are critical in
providing full, fair, accurate and understandable information in filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and disclosures we provide to the public.
If you have responsibilities for, or are involved in these areas, you must
comply with applicable laws and our policies. Violations of the laws associated
with accounting and financing reporting can result in fines, penalties, and
imprisonment, as well as damaging our reputation.
3.7.2 Accurate Books and
Records.
Integrated
Media fully and accurately records all transactions in its books and records in
compliance with all applicable laws. Regardless of whether the reporting is
required by law, false or misleading entries, unrecorded funds or assets, or
payments without appropriate supporting documentation and approval are strictly
prohibited. All documentation supporting a transaction should fully and
accurately describe the nature of the transaction and be processed in a timely
fashion. Employees are required to fill out and submit expense reports
accurately and representing expenses actually incurred. Please refer to our
Travel and Entertainment Policy for additional information.
3.8 Document Retention and
Preservation
You are
encouraged to maintain a clean and efficient workspace, and to discard
unnecessary documents. Nonetheless, Integrated Media is required by various
laws, rules and regulations to retain certain records and to follow specific
guidelines in managing its records. Records include paper documents, CDs,
computer hard disks, e-mail, floppy disks, microfiche, microfilm or all other
media. Civil and criminal penalties for failure to comply can be severe for you
and Integrated Media. Please consult with Document Control or the Legal
Department if you are uncertain about your document retention
obligations
Document
destruction procedures will be suspended when necessary to preserve appropriate
records under special circumstances, such as litigation or government
investigations. Our Legal Department determines and identifies what types of
Company records or documents are required to be placed under a legal hold. You
must comply with this policy. Failure to comply with this policy may subject you
to disciplinary action, and potentially to criminal prosecution.
Our Legal
Department will notify you if a legal hold is placed on records for which you
are responsible. Records that have been placed under a legal hold must not be
destroyed, altered or otherwise modified. Our Legal Department will notify you
when the legal hold has been removed. If you are unsure whether a document has
been placed under a legal hold, you should preserve and protect that document
while you check with our Legal Department.
3.9 No Improper Political
Contributions
We
encourage our employees to participate in the political process as individual
citizens on their own time. However, business contributions to political
campaigns are strictly regulated by federal, state, local and other laws,
including laws that may exist in non-US countries. Our funds must not
be used for, or be contributed to, political campaigns or political practices
under any circumstances without the prior written approval of our Chief
Financial Officer and, if required, the Board of Directors.
4.0 OUR
RESPONSIBILITIES TO OTHERS
4.1 Relationships with
Customers
It is
critical for all employees to remember that you represent Integrated Media to
the people with whom you are dealing and that you act in a manner that creates
value for our customers and helps to build a relationship based upon trust.
Integrated Media and its employees have provided products and services for many
years, and have built up significant goodwill and trust with our customers over
that time. This goodwill and trust are among our most important assets, and our
employees, agents, consultants and contractors must act to preserve and enhance
our reputation.
4.2 Relationships with
Suppliers
Our
suppliers make significant contributions to our success. We strive to create an
environment where our suppliers seek to work with Integrated Media. To this end,
they must be confident that we will treat them lawfully and in an ethical
manner. Our policy is to purchase supplies based on need, quality, service,
price and terms and conditions. Our policy is to select significant suppliers or
enter into significant supplier agreements through a competitive bid process
where possible. Payments made for goods or services must be commensurate with
the goods or services received. Under no circumstances should any Integrated
Media employee, agent or contractor attempt to coerce suppliers in any way. The
confidential information of a supplier is entitled to the same protection as
that of any other third party and must not be received before an appropriate
nondisclosure agreement has been signed.
4.3 Relationships with
Competitors
In the
normal course of business, it is not unusual to obtain information about other
companies, including competitors. Indeed, we gather information about
competitors from a variety of legitimate sources in an effort to analyze the
relative strength of our products, services, marketing methods, and financial
performance. There are, however, limits on how you should acquire and use
information about competitors. You should not use any type of improper means to
acquire a competitor's confidential information. Illegal methods such as
stealing, wiretapping, and trespassing are clearly forbidden. Similarly,
improper practices such as hiring a competitor's employees to acquire
confidential information or improperly soliciting confidential information from
a competitor's employees are prohibited. Please remember to exercise good
judgment and discretion when utilizing information about other companies,
including competitors.
4.4 Confidential Information of
Others
We have
many kinds of business relationships with many companies and individuals. During
the course of these relationships, these companies and individuals may want to
share confidential information with Integrated Media for a particular purpose.
To avoid claims of misappropriation or misuse of the confidential information,
it is important that a written agreement between the parties governing the use
of the confidential information be signed before Integrated Media receives such
information. We will then use and safeguard the confidential information in
accordance with the terms of the written agreement. If you have any questions
regarding the confidential information of others, you should immediately consult
the Legal Department.
5.0 OUR
RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE LAW
5.1 Compliance With All
Applicable Laws and Regulations
Each of
us must obey all applicable laws and regulations. Employees located outside of
the United States must comply with laws, regulations, rules and regulatory
orders of the United States, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the
U.S. Export Control Act, in addition to applicable local laws. In conducting our
business, you may encounter legal issues in the areas described below. You must
be aware of potential violations and know when to seek advice from the Human
Resources Department or the Legal Department on specific Company policies and
procedures. Failure to comply with applicable laws may subject Integrated Media
and the individuals involved to criminal or civil liability, as well as to
discipline by Integrated Media.
5.2 Free and Fair
Competition
Most
countries have well-developed laws designed to protect consumers and competitors
against unfair business practices and to promote and preserve competition. These
laws are known as antitrust, competition, consumer protection or unfair
competition laws. We are committed to obeying both the letter and spirit of
these laws.
These
laws often regulate our relationship with our distributors, resellers, dealers,
competitors, and customers. Competition laws generally address the following
areas: pricing practices (including price discrimination), discounting, terms of
sale, credit terms, promotional allowances, secret rebates, exclusive
dealerships or distributorships, product bundling, restrictions on carrying
competing products, termination and many other practices. The following is a
summary of actions that are clear violations of U.S. antitrust
laws:
*
|
Price
Fixing. We may not agree with our competitors to raise, lower or stabilize
price or any element of price, including discounts and credit terms. In
addition, we may not set the prices at which customers resell our
products.
|
*
|
Limitation
of Supply. We may not agree with our competitors to limit our production
or restrict the supply of our
services.
|
*
|
Allocation
of Business. We may not agree with our competitors to divide or allocate
markets, territories or customers.
|
*
|
Boycott.
We may not agree with our competitors to refuse to sell or purchase
products from third parties. In addition, we may not prevent a customer
from purchasing or using non-Company products or
services.
|
*
|

We may not require a customer to purchase a product that it does not want
as a condition to the sale of a different product that the customer does
wish to purchase.

Antitrust
laws also govern, usually quite strictly, relationships between Integrated Media
and our competitors. As a general rule, contacts with competitors should be
limited and should always avoid subjects such as prices or other terms and
conditions of sale, customers and suppliers. Employees, agents or contractors of
Integrated Media may not knowingly make false or misleading statements regarding
our competitors or the products of our competitors, customers or
suppliers.
No
employee, agent or contractor shall enter into an agreement or understanding,
written or oral, express or implied, with any competitor concerning prices,
discounts, other terms or conditions of sale, profits or profit margins, costs,
allocation of product or geographic markets, allocation of customers,
limitations on production, supplier's terms and conditions, boycotts of
customers or suppliers, bids or the intent to bid or even discuss or exchange
information on these subjects. In some cases, legitimate joint ventures with
competitors may permit exceptions to these rules, as may, bona
fide purchases from or sales to competitors, but our Chief
Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer must review all such proposed
ventures, purchases or sales in advance. These prohibitions are absolute and
strict observance is required. Collusion among competitors is illegal, and the
consequences of a violation are severe, including possible criminal
prosecution.
Participating
with competitors in a trade association or in a standards creation body is
acceptable when the association has been properly established, has a legitimate
purpose and has limited its activities to that purpose. However, you should not
discuss pricing policy or other competitive terms, or other proprietary and
confidential information.
Although
the spirit of these laws may be straightforward, their application to particular
situations can be quite complex. To ensure that we comply fully with these laws,
each of us should have a basic knowledge of them and whenever doubt exists as to
the legality of a particular action or arrangement, it is your responsibility to
contact the Legal Department promptly for assistance, approval, and
review.
5.3 Export Control
Laws
A number
of countries maintain controls on the destinations to which products or software
may be exported. The United States maintains some of the strictest export
controls against countries that the U.S. government considers unfriendly or as
supporting international terrorism. The U.S. regulations are complex and apply
both to exports from the United States and to exports of products from other
countries, when those products contain U.S.-origin components or technology. In
some circumstances, an oral presentation containing technical data made to
foreign nationals in the United States may constitute a controlled export. To
ensure compliance, all shipments of product, software and technology must be
cleared through our Traffic and Customs Department. Additionally, we can provide
guidance on which countries are prohibited destinations for our products or
whether a proposed technical presentation to foreign nationals may require a
U.S. government license.
5.4 Insider Trading
Laws
In the
normal course of business, officers, directors and employees, as well as agents,
consultants and contractors of Integrated Media may come into possession of
significant, sensitive information. You may not profit from it by buying or
selling Integrated Media securities yourself, or by passing on the information
to others, to enable them to profit or for them to profit on your behalf. You
need to be aware of your legal responsibilities and understand that the misuse
of such significant and sensitive information is contrary to our policy and
securities laws.
"Insider
trading" refers to the purchase or sale of a company stock or other securities
while in possession of material, non-public information relating to that
company. Information is "material" if a reasonable investor would consider it
important in a decision to buy, hold or sell stock or other securities.
Information is "non-public" if it has not been made generally available to the
public by means of a press release or other means of widespread distribution. It
is generally understood that insider trading includes the following: (i) trading
by insiders while in possession of material, non-public information; (ii)
trading by persons other than insiders while in the possession of material,
non-public information where the information either was in breach of an
insider's fiduciary duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated; or
(iii) communicating or tipping material, non-public information to others,
including recommending the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of
such information. Penalties for insider trading are quite substantial. For more
details, you should review our Non-Public Information and the Prevention of
Insider Trading Policy.
Integrated
Media has adopted Pre-Clearance and Blackout policies for its officers and Board
of Directors that further restricts when such officers and Directors may trade
in Integrated Media securities. If you are unsure as to whether you can trade in
our securities or have questions regarding our Non-Public Information and the
Prevention of Insider Trading Policy, please contact our Chief Financial Officer
or General Counsel.
5.5 Prohibition on Short Selling of
Company Stock
No
Integrated Media Board of Director, officer or other designated employee may,
directly or indirectly, sell any equity security, including derivatives, of
Integrated Media if he or she (1) does not own the security sold, or (2) if he
or she owns the security, does not deliver it against such sale (a "short sale
against the box") within twenty days thereafter, or does not within five days
after such sale deposit it in the mail or other usual channel of transportation.
No Integrated Media director, officer or other designated employee may engage in
short sales. A short sale, as defined in this policy, means any transaction
whereby one may benefit from a decline in our stock price. Transactions in put
and call options for our securities constitute a short sale for the purposes of
this paragraph and are therefore prohibited.
5.6 Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act
Integrated
Media requires full compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977
(FCPA) by all of its employees, agents, consultants and contractors. The FCPA
prohibits Integrated Media, its directors, officers and employees, and agents,
consultants and contractors from offering or giving money or any other item of
value to win or retain business or to influence any act or decision of any
governmental official, political party, candidate for political office or
official of a public international organization. Violation of the FCPA can
result in civil and criminal liability for Integrated Media, its directors,
officers, ,employees, agents, consultants and contractors.
The use
of our funds or assets for any unlawful or improper purpose is strictly
prohibited. No payment shall be made to, or for the benefit of, government
employees for the purpose of, or otherwise in connection with, the securing of
sales to or obtaining favorable action by a government agency. Gifts of
substantial value to, or lavish entertainment of, government employees are
prohibited since they can be construed as attempts to influence government
decisions in matters affecting our operation. Any entertaining of public
officials or the furnishing of assistance in the form of transportation or other
services should be of such nature that the official's integrity or reputation
will not be compromised.
The
offer, payment or promise to transfer company funds or the delivery
of anything of value to foreign officials, foreign political parties
or officials or candidates of foreign political parties is strictly prohibited
for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of any such person in his or
her official capacity. Influence includes the decision to fail to perform his or
her official functions or to use such persons or party's influence with a
foreign government or instrumentality in order to affect or to influence any act
or decision of such government or instrumentality in order to assist Integrated
Media in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to
any person or entity.
All of
our employees, agents and contractors, whether located in the United States or
abroad, are responsible for FCPA compliance and the procedures to ensure FCPA
compliance. All managers and supervisory personnel are expected to monitor
continued compliance with the FCPA to ensure compliance with the highest moral,
ethical and professional standards of Integrated Media. Any employee who learns
of or suspects a violation of this policy should promptly report the matter to
General Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer or the Chief Executive
Officer.
5.7 Environmental, Safety and Health
Laws
We are
firmly committed to the environment, safety, and health of our employees and the
community. We will comply with all applicable health, safety and environmental
laws and regulations. We emphasize individual involvement by each of us to
ensure that Integrated Media is a safe and healthy workplace, and that we
operate our business in an environmentally sound manner. If you become aware of
any violation of environmental, safety, or health laws, you should immediately
report it to the Human Resources Department or the Legal
Department.
5.8 Governmental Laws and
Regulations
It is our
policy to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations governing
contact and dealings with government employees and public officials, and to
adhere to high ethical, moral and legal standards of business conduct. It is
also our policy to fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations that
apply to government contracting.

Waivers
of this Code will be granted on a case-by-case basis and only in extraordinary

provision of this Code with respect to any other employee, agent or contractor
must be approved in writing by our Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive

7.0
ENFORCMENT OF OUR CODE
The
subjects covered in this Code are of the utmost importance to Integrated Media,
its stockholders and its business partners, and are essential to our ability to
conduct business consistent with the highest standards of business ethics. Each
of us must abide by these rules when conducting our business.
We are
committed to ensuring that each of our directors, officers and employees, and
agents, contractors and consultants adhere to this Code. We will take

Term and Election. The number of directors of the Corporation shall
be such number, not less than one nor more than 15 (exclusive of directors, if
any, to be elected by holders of preferred stock of the Corporation), as shall
be provided from time to time in a resolution adopted by the board of directors,
provided that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of
shortening the term of any incumbent director, and provided further that no
action shall be taken to decrease or increase the number of directors from time
to time unless at least two-thirds of the directors then in office shall concur
in said action. Exclusive of directors, if any, elected by holders of
preferred stock, vacancies in the board of directors of the Corporation, however
caused, and newly created directorships shall be filled by a vote of two-thirds
of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any director so
chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders at which the term of the class to which the director has been
chosen expires and when the director’s successor is elected and
qualified. The board of directors shall be classified in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3 of this Article III.
By
Laws-Nevada(Classified Board)
SECTION
3. Classified
Board. The board of directors of the Corporation (other than
directors which may be elected by the holders of preferred stock), shall be
divided into three classes of directors which shall be designated Class I, Class
II and Class III. The members of each class shall be elected for a
term of three years and until their successors are elected and
qualified. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number as the
then total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors shall
permit, exclusive of directors, if any, elected by holders of preferred stock,
with the terms of office of all members of one class expiring each
year. Should the number of directors not be equally divisible by
three, the excess director or directors shall be assigned to Classes I or II as
follows: (1) if there shall be an excess of one directorship over the number
equally divisible by three, such extra directorship shall be classified in Class
I; and (2) if there be an excess of two directorships over a number equally
divisible by three, one shall be classified in Class I and the other in Class
II. At the organizational meeting of the Corporation, directors of
Class I shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the first annual
meeting of stockholders, directors of Class II shall be elected to hold office
for a term expiring at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and
directors of Class III shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at
the third succeeding annual meeting thereafter. Thereafter, at each
succeeding annual meeting, directors of each class shall be elected for three
year terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the director whose term
shall expire at any annual meeting shall continue to serve until such time as
his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified unless his
position on the board of directors shall have been abolished by action taken to
reduce the size of the board of directors prior to said meeting.
Should
the number of directors of the Corporation be reduced, the directorship(s)
eliminated shall be allocated among classes as appropriate so that the number of
directors in each class is as specified in the position(s) to be
abolished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no decrease in the number
of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent
director. Should the number of directors of the Corporation be
increased, other than directors which may be elected by the holders of preferred
stock, the additional directorships shall be allocated among classes as
appropriate so that the number of directors in each class is as specified in the
immediately preceding paragraph.
Whenever
the holders of any one or more series of preferred stock of the Corporation
shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more
directors of the Corporation, the board of directors shall include said
directors so elected and not be in addition to the number of directors fixed as
provided in this Article III. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
except as otherwise may be required By Law, whenever the holders of any one or
more series of preferred stock of the Corporation elect one or more directors of
the Corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders
shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders.

the board of directors called by such persons.
Members
of the board of the directors may participate in special meetings by means of
telephone conference or similar communications equipment by which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation
shall constitute presence in person.
SECTION
6. Notice. Written
notice of any special meeting shall be given to each director at least two days
previous thereto delivered personally or by telegram or at least seven days
previous thereto delivered by mail at the address at which the director is most
likely to be reached. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered
when deposited in the United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon
prepaid if mailed or when delivered to the telegraph company if sent by
telegram. Any director may waive notice of any meeting by a writing
filed with the secretary. The attendance of a director at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director
attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any
business because the
By
Laws-Nevada(Classified Board)
meeting
is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the board of directors need be
specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
SECTION
7. Quorum. A
majority of the number of directors fixed by Section 2 shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, but if
less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors
present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Notice of any
adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as prescribed by Section 5
of this Article III.
SECTION
15. Manner
of Acting. The act of the majority of the directors present at a
meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors,
unless a greater number is prescribed by these By Laws, the Articles of
Incorporation, or the Nevada Revised Statutes.

directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors
may be filled by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the directors then in
office or by election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of the
stockholders held for that purpose. The term of such director shall
be in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of
Incorporation.

of Directors. Any director or the entire board of directors may be
removed only in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of
Incorporation.

as such, may receive compensation for service on the board of
directors. Members of either standing or special committees may be

of age. This age limitation does not apply to an advisory
director.
ARTICLE
IV
Committees
of the Board of Directors
The board
of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board,
designate one or more committees, as they may determine to be necessary or
appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Corporation, and may
prescribe the duties, constitution and procedures thereof. Each
committee shall consist of one or more directors of the Corporation appointed by
the chairman. The chairman may designate one or more directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified
member at any meeting of the committee.
The
chairman shall have power at any time to change the members of, to fill
vacancies in, and to discharge any committee of the board. Any member
of any such committee may resign at any time by giving notice to the
Corporation; provided, however, that notice to the board, the chairman of the
board, the chief executive officer, the chairman of such committee, or the
secretary shall be deemed to constitute notice to the
Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect upon receipt of such
notice or at any later time specified therein; and, unless otherwise specified
therein, acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective. Any member of any
By
Laws-Nevada(Classified Board)
such
committee may be removed at any time, either with or without cause, by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the authorized number of directors at any
meeting of the board called for that purpose.
ARTICLE
V
Officers
SECTION
1. Positions. The
officers of the Corporation shall be a chairman, a president, one or more vice
presidents, a secretary and a treasurer, each of whom shall be elected by the
board of directors. The board of directors may designate one or more
vice presidents as executive vice president or senior vice
president. The board of directors may also elect or authorize the
appointment of such other officers as the business of the Corporation may
require. The officers shall have such authority and perform such
duties as the board of directors may from time to time authorize or
determine. In the absence of action by the board of directors, the
officers shall have such powers and duties as generally pertain to their
respective offices.
SECTION
2. Election
and Term of Office. The officers of the Corporation shall be elected
annually by the board of directors at the first meeting of the board of
directors held after each annual meeting of the stockholders. If the
election of officers is not held at such meeting, such election shall be held as
soon thereafter as possible. Each officer shall hold office until his
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his death or until
he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter
provided. Election or appointment of an officer, employee or agent
shall not of itself create contract rights. The board of directors
may authorize the Corporation to enter into an employment contract with any
officer in accordance with state law; but no such contract shall impair the
right of the board of directors to remove any officer at any time in accordance
with Section 3 of this Article V.
SECTION
3. Removal. Any
officer may be removed by vote of two-thirds of the board of directors whenever,
in its judgment, the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby,
but such removal, other than for cause, shall be without prejudice to the
contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.
SECTION
4. Vacancies. A
vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification
or otherwise, may be filled by the board of directors for the unexpired portion
of the term.
SECTION
5. Remuneration. The

A
description of the different classes and series (if any) of the Corporation's
capital stock, and a statement of the relative powers, designations, preferences
and rights of the shares of each class and series (if any) of capital stock, and
the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, are as
follows:
B. Undesignated
Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock not at the time designated as
shares of a particular series pursuant to this Article (V)(B) or any other
provision of these Articles of Incorporation may be issued from time to time in
one or more additional series or without any distinctive
designation. The board of directors may determine, in whole or in
part, the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative
rights or privileges of any such series before the issuance of any shares of
that series. The board of directors shall determine the number of
shares constituting each series of Common Stock and each series shall have a
distinguishing designation.
C. Common
Stock. Except as provided in these Articles or the designation of any
series or class of capital stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall
exclusively posses all voting power. Subject to the provisions of
these Articles, each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one
vote for each share held by such holders.
Whenever
there shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for payment, to the
holders of the outstanding shares of any class or series of stock having
preference over the Common Stock as to the payment of dividends, the full amount
of dividends and sinking fund or retirement fund or other retirement payments,
if any, to which such holders are respectively entitled in preference to the
Common Stock, then dividends may be paid on the Common Stock, and on any class
or series of stock entitled to participate therewith as to dividends, out of any
assets legally available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as
declared by the board of directors of the Corporation.
In the
event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after
there shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for payment, to the
holders of the outstanding shares of any class having preference over
the Common Stock in any such event, the full preferential amounts to which they
are respectively entitled, the holders of the Common Stock and of any class or
series of stock entitled to participate therewith, in whole or in part, as to
distribution of assets shall be entitled, after payment or provision for payment
of all debts and liabilities of the Corporation, to receive the remaining assets
of the Corporation available for distribution, in cash or in kind.
Each
share of Common Stock shall have the same relative powers, preferences and
rights as, and shall be identical in all respects with, all the other shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation.
D. Serial
Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock not at the time designated
as shares of a particular series pursuant to this Article (V)(D) or any other
provision of these Articles of Incorporation may be issued from time to time in
one or more additional series. The board of directors may determine,
in whole or in part, the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special
or relative rights or privileges of any such series before the issuance of any
shares of that series. The board of directors shall determine the
number of shares constituting each series of Preferred Stock and each series
shall have a distinguishing designation. Each share of each series of
serial preferred stock shall have the same relative powers, preferences and
rights as, and shall be identical in all respects with, all the other shares of
the Corporation of the same series, except the times from which dividends on
shares which may be issued from time to time of any such series may begin to
accrue.
E. Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock. There shall be a series of Convertible
Preferred Stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.” Such series is referred to herein as the “Series A Preferred
Stock.”
1. Amount. The
number of shares constituting Series A Preferred Stock shall be
4,500,000.

Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), now
or hereafter issued, both as to payment of dividends and as to distributions of
assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary.
4. Dividends. No
dividends shall be payable to the holder of shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock.
5. Liquidation
Preference.

liquidation value of shares of this Series, in case of the voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, shall be
$.001 per share.
(b) In
the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company, the holders of shares of this Series shall be entitled to
receive the liquidation value of such shares held by them until the liquidation
value of all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been paid
in full. Upon payment in full of the liquidation value to which the
holders of shares of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled, the holders of shares of this Series will not be entitled to any
further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company.
(c)
Neither a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Company, nor
a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company's assets for cash or
securities or other property shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Company within the meaning of this Paragraph 5.
6. Voting
Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, each share of
outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder
thereof to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation and to have the number of votes equal to the number (including any
fraction) of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant to the provisions
hereof at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote
on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote
is taken or any written consent of stockholders becomes
effective. Except as otherwise required by law or by these Articles,
the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
shall vote together and not as separate classes.
7. No
Redemption. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
not redeemable.
8. Conversion
Provisions.
(a)
Conversion at Option of the Holders. Provided that, and only to the
extent that, the Corporation has a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued and unreserved Common Stock available to issue upon conversion, each
share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the
option of the holder thereof, at any time on or after the date of issue, into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock and such other securities
and property as hereinafter provided, initially at the rate of 9.6 shares of
Common Stock for each full share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Conversion Ratio”).
(b)
Mechanics of Conversion. Any holder of shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares into Common Stock shall
surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, which certificate or certificates, if the
Corporation shall so require, shall be duly endorsed to the Corporation or in
blank, or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to the Corporation or in
blank, accompanied by irrevocable written notice to the Corporation that the
holder elects so to convert such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or
certificates for Common Stock are to be issued.
(c)
Adjustments to Conversion Ratio. The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to
adjustment as follows:
(i) In
case the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution in Common
Stock, (B) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, or (C) reclassification or combination into a smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior thereto shall
be adjusted retroactively as provided below so that the Conversion Ratio
thereafter shall be by multiplying the Conversion Ratio at which such shares of
this Series were theretofore convertible by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following
such action and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior thereto. Such adjustment shall be made
whenever any event listed above shall occur and shall become effective
retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and
shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or reclassification. (ii) In case the Company shall issue rights or
warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period
expiring within 45 days after the record date therefor) to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current
market price per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with the
provisions of subclause (iv) of this clause (d)) at the record date therefor
(the “Current Market Price”), or in case the Company
shall
issue other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for a
consideration per share of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion or exchange
thereof less than the Current Market Price; then the Conversion Ratio in effect
immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted retroactively as provided below so
that the Conversion Ratio therefor shall be equal to the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Ratio at which shares of this Series were theretofore
convertible by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such convertible or
exchangeable securities, rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares
of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase and of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of
issuance of such shares, convertible or exchangeable securities, rights or
warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate offering price of the number of shares of Common Stock so offered
would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as
determined in accordance with the provisions of subclause (iv) of this clause
(d). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such convertible or
exchangeable securities rights or warrants are issued, and shall become
effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such securities. However upon the
expiration of any right or warrant to purchase Common Stock the issuance of
which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this
subclause (ii), if any such right or warrant shall expire and shall not have
been exercised, the Conversion Ratio shall be recomputed immediately upon such
expiration and effective immediately upon such expiration shall be increased to
the price it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments to the
Conversion Ratio made pursuant to the provisions of this clause (d) after the
issuance of such rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Ratio
made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of
offering for subscription or purchase only that number of shares of Common Stock
actually purchased upon the exercise of such rights or warrants actually
exercised.
(iii) In
case the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock (including
any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which
the Company is the continuing corporation) shares of capital stock (other than
Common Stock), evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash
dividends) or rights to subscribe (excluding those referred to in subclause (ii)
of this clause (d)), then in each such case the number of shares of Common Stock
into which each share of this Series shall thereafter be convertible shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
share of this Series was theretofore convertible by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied
by the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock (as determined in
accordance with the provisions of subclause (iv) of this clause (d)) on the date
of such distribution and of which the denominator shall be the product of the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock, less the aggregate fair market value (as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive,
and described in a statement filed with the transfer agent for the shares of
this Series) of the capital stock, assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed or of such subscription rights. Such adjustment shall be
made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective
retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(iv) For
the purpose of any computation under subclause (ii) and (iii) of this clause
(d), the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be
deemed to be the average Sale Price for the thirty consecutive trading days
commencing forty-five trading days before the day in question. As
used herein, “Sale Price” means the closing sales price of the Common Stock (or
if no sale price is reported, the average of the high and low bid prices) as
reported by the principal national or regional stock exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a national or
regional stock exchange, as reported by national Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System and if not so reported then as reported by
the Electronic Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated.
(v) No
adjustment in the Conversion Ratio shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase of at least 1% in the price then in effect; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subclause (v) are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph 8 shall
be made to the nearest cent.
(vi) In
the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
subclause (i) or subclause (iii) of this clause (d), the holder of any share of
this Series thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to
receive any shares of the Company other than shares of the Common Stock,
thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any
share of this Series shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on the terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions
with respect to the Common Stock contained in subclauses (i) through (v) of this
clause (d), and the other provisions of this clause (d) with respect to the
Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.
(vii)
Whenever the conversion rate is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall
promptly file with the transfer agent for this Series, a certificate of an
officer of the Company setting forth the conversion rate after such adjustment
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and a
computation thereof. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of
the correctness of such adjustment. The Company shall promptly cause
a notice of the adjusted conversion rate to be mailed to each registered holder
of shares of this Series.
(d) If
any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change
(other than a combination of reclassification into a smaller number of shares)
of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of this
Series (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision) or (ii) any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party (other than a
consolidation or merger to which the Company is the continuing corporation and
which does not result in any classification of, or change (other than a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock);
then the Company or such successor, as the case may be, shall provide in its
Certificate of Incorporation that each share of this Series shall be convertible
into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property
receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each
such share of this Series immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation or merger. Such Certificate of Incorporation shall
provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in clause (d). The
Company shall cause notice of the execution of any such event contemplated by
this paragraph to be mailed to each holder of shares of this Series As soon as
practicable.
The above
provisions of this clause (d) shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, consolidations and mergers.
(e) By
duly adopted resolution of its board of directors, the Company at any time may
increase the Conversion Ratio, temporarily or otherwise, by any amount, but in
no event shall such Conversion Ratio require the issuance of Common Stock for
less than the par value of the Common Stock at the time such reduction is
made.
Whenever
the Conversion Ratio is increased pursuant to this subclause (e), the Company
shall mail to the holders a notice of the increased Conversion
Ratio. The notice shall state the increased Conversion Ratio and the
period it will be in effect.
An
increase in the Conversion Ratio does not change or adjust the Conversion Ratio
otherwise in effect for purposes of subclauses (b) and (c) of this paragraph
8.
9. Protective
Provisions.
(a)
Reservation of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Provided that, and only
to the extent that, the Corporation has a sufficient number of shares of
authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock available to issue upon
conversion, the Corporation shall at all times serve and keep available, out of
its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of shares of
its Common Stock free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding. The Corporation shall
from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, increase
the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of
shares of Common Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to permit the
conversion of all the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.
If any
shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of conversion of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock hereunder require registration with or
approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or State law before
such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Corporation will in good faith
and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered or approved, as the case may be. If the Common Stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange,
the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep
listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.
The
Corporation will pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be payable in
respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Stock (or other securities
or assets) in a name other than that which the shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery
shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Corporation the amount of such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of
the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(b) Class
Voting Rights. So long as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock voting separately as a class, (i) Amend, alter or repeal (by
merger or otherwise) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the
By-Laws of the Corporation, as amended, so as adversely to affect the relative
rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) authorize or issue, or increase the authorized
amount of, any additional class or series of stock, or any security convertible
into stock of such class or series, ranking prior to the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in respect of the payment of dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or (iii) effect any
reclassification of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. A class
vote on the part of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall, without
limitation, specifically not be deemed to be required (except as otherwise
required by law or resolution of the Corporation’s Board of Directors) in
connection with: (a) the authorization, issuance or increase in the authorized
amount of any shares of any other class or series of stock which ranks junior
to, or on a parity with, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of
the payment of dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation; or (b) the authorization, issuance or increase in
the amount of any bonds, mortgages, debentures or other obligations of the
Corporation.
The
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting or consenting separately as a
class, shall be required to (a) authorize any sale, lease or conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (b) approve any
merger, consolidation or compulsory share exchange of the Corporation with or
into any other person unless (i) the terms of such merger, consolidation or
compulsory share exchange do not provide for a change in the terms of the Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
is, after such merger, consolidation or compulsory share exchange on a parity
with or prior to any other class or series of capital stock authorized by the
surviving corporation as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up other than any class or series of stock of the Corporation prior to
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as may have been created with the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (or other than a class or series into which such
prior stock is converted as a result of such merger, consolidation or share
exchange).
10. Outstanding
Shares. For purposes of these Articles, all shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed outstanding except (i) from the date
of surrender of certificates representing shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted
into Common Stock; (ii) the effective date of a recapitalization referred to in
clause 8(c), and (iii) from the date of registration of transfer, all shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held of record by the Corporation or any
subsidiary of the Corporation.
F. Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock. There shall be a series of Preferred
Stock designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.” Such
series is referred to herein as the “Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock.”
1. Amount. The
number of shares constituting such series shall be 100,000.
2. Stated
Capital. The amount to be represented in stated capital at all times
for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
$.001.
3. Rank. All
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank prior to all of the

or hereafter issued, both as to payment of dividends and as to distributions of
assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary.
4. Dividends. No
dividends shall be payable to the holders of shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock.
5. Liquidation
Preference.
(a) The
liquidation value of shares of this Series, in case of the voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, shall be
$.001 per share.
(b) In
the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company, the holders of shares of this Series shall be entitled to
receive the liquidation value of such shares held by them until the liquidation
value of all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been paid
in full. Upon payment in full of the liquidation value to which the
holders of shares of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are
entitled, the holders of shares of this Series will not be entitled to any
further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company.
(c) Neither
a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, nor
a merger of any other corporation with or into the Company, nor a sale or

the Company within the meaning of this Paragraph 5.
6. Voting
Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, each share of
outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder
thereof to vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation and to have the number of votes equal to the number (including any
fraction) of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant to the provisions
hereof at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote
on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote
is taken or any written consent of stockholders becomes
effective. Except as otherwise required by law or by this
Certificate, the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes.
7. No
Redemption. The shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are
not redeemable.
8. Conversion
Provisions.
(a) Conversion
at Option of Holders. Provided that, and only to the extent that, the
Corporation has a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued and
unreserved Common Stock available to issue upon conversion, each share of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder
thereof, at any time on or after issuance, into the number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock as specified by the Conversion Ratio that
is in effect at the time of conversion; provided that, and only to the extent
that, the Corporation has a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued and unreserved Common Stock available to issue upon conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The initial
“Conversion Ratio” for the Series B Preferred Stock is 150:1. The
Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in
this Section 7.
For the
purpose of these Certificate of Designation, the term “Common Stock” shall
initially mean the class designated as Common Stock, par value $.001 per share,
of the Corporation as of August 8, 2004 subject to adjustment as hereinafter
provided.
(b) Mechanics
of Conversion. Any holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock desiring to convert such shares into Common Stock shall surrender the
certificate or certificates for such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock at the office of the transfer agent for the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock, which certificate or certificates, if the Corporation shall so require,
shall be duly endorsed to the Corporation or in blank, or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer to the Corporation or in blank, accompanied by
irrevocable written notice to the Corporation that the holder elects so to
convert such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and specifying the
name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for Common
Stock are to be issued.
(c) Adjustment
of Conversion Ratio. The Conversion Ratio for each share of Series B
Preferred Stock and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of any
share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted from time to time as
follows:
(i) Subdivision
or Combination of Shares. If the Corporation at any time effects an
increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by subdivision, the
Conversion Ratio shall be increased in the same proportions as the Common Stock
is subdivided, in each case effective automatically upon, and simultaneously
with, the effectiveness of the subdivision which gives rise to the
adjustment. If the Corporation at any time effects a decrease in the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by combination or any other means,
the Conversion Ratio shall remain the same and unchanged.
(ii) Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger. If at any time, as a result of (A) a capital
reorganization or reclassification (other than a subdivision or combination
which gives rise to an adjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to Section
7(d)(i)); or (B) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another
corporation (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving corporation), the
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any
class or classes of stock of the Corporation or any other corporation, or other
securities convertible into such shares, then, as a part of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger or consolidation, appropriate adjustments shall be made
in the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock (or of any securities into which
the Series B Preferred Stock is changed or for which the Series B Preferred
Stock is exchanged), so that: (x) the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or of
such substitute securities shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or of such substitute securities, the
kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property which
such holders would have received at the time of such capital reorganization,
reclassification, merger, or consolidation, if such holders had converted their
Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to such capital reorganization,
reclassification, merger, or consolidation, and (y) the Series B Preferred Stock
or such substitute securities shall thereafter be adjusted on terms as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments theretofore provided in this
Section 7(d). No consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is
not the surviving corporation shall be consummated unless the surviving
corporation shall agree, in writing, to the provisions of this Section
7(d)(ii). The provisions of this Section 7(d)(ii) shall similarly
apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, and
consolidations.
(iii) Other
Action Affecting Common Stock. If at any time the Corporation takes
any action affecting its Common Stock which, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, would have an adverse effect upon the Conversion
Rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and the foregoing conversion ratio
adjustment provisions are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any
adjustment would adversely affect the Conversion Rights, then the Conversion
Ratio and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to preserve, without dilution, the Conversion
Rights in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.
(iv) Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratio or the kind of
securities issuable upon the conversion of any one of or all of the Series B
Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to Sections 8(c)(i) - (iii) above,
the Corporation shall make a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the
Board of Directors of the Corporation made any determination hereunder), and the
Conversion Ratio and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of the
Series B Preferred Stock after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause
copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail postage prepaid) to
each holder of Series B Preferred Stock promptly after each
adjustment.
(d) Increase
of Conversion Ratio. By duly adopted resolution of its board of
directors, the Company at any time may increase the Conversion Ratio,
temporarily or otherwise, by any amount, but in no event shall such Conversion
Ratio require the issuance of Common Stock for less than the par value of the
Common Stock at the time such reduction is made.
Whenever
the Conversion Ratio is increased pursuant to this subclause (d), the Company
shall mail to the holders a notice of the increased Conversion
Ratio. The notice shall state the increased Conversion Ratio and the
period it will be in effect.
9. Protective
Provisions.
(a) Reservation
of Shares; Transfer Taxes; Etc. Provided that, and only to the extent
that, the Corporation has a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued and unreserved Common Stock available to issue upon conversion, the
Corporation shall at all times serve and keep available, out of its authorized
and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of shares of its Common Stock
free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from time to
time outstanding. The Corporation shall from time to time, in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, increase the authorized
number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common
Stock not outstanding shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all
the then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock.
If any
shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of conversion of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock hereunder require registration with or
approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or State law before
such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Corporation will in good faith
and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered or approved, as the case may be. If the Common Stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange,
the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep
listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock.
The
Corporation will pay any and all issue or other taxes that may be payable in
respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue or delivery of Common Stock (or other securities
or assets) in a name other than that which the shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery
shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Corporation the amount of such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of
the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(b) Class
Voting Rights. So long as the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock voting separately as a class, (i) Amend, alter or repeal (by
merger or otherwise) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the
By-Laws of the Corporation, as amended, so as adversely to affect the relative
rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) authorize or issue, or increase the authorized
amount of, any additional class or series of stock, or any security convertible
into stock of such class or series, ranking prior to the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock in respect of the payment of dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or (iii) effect any
reclassification of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. A class
vote on the part of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, without
limitation, specifically not be deemed to be required (except as otherwise
required by law or resolution of the Corporation’s Board of Directors) in
connection with: (a) the authorization, issuance or increase in the authorized
amount of any shares of any other class or series of stock which ranks junior
to, or on a parity with, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of
the payment of dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation; or (b) the authorization, issuance or increase in
the amount of any bonds, mortgages, debentures or other obligations of the
Corporation.
The
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, voting or consenting separately as a
class, shall be required to (a) authorize any sale, lease or conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (b) approve any
merger, consolidation or compulsory share exchange of the Corporation with or
into any other person unless (i) the terms of such merger, consolidation or
compulsory share exchange do not provide for a change in the terms of the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
is, after such merger, consolidation or compulsory share exchange on a parity
with or prior to any other class or series of capital stock authorized by the
surviving corporation as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up other than any class or series of stock of the Corporation prior to
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as may have been created with the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (or other than a class or series into which such
prior stock is converted as a result of such merger, consolidation or share
exchange).
10. Outstanding
Shares. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, all shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed outstanding except (i)
from the date of surrender of certificates representing shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
converted into Common Stock; (ii) the effective date of a Recapitalization Event
defined in clause 8(b), and (iii) from the date of registration of transfer, all
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held of record by the Corporation
or any subsidiary of the Corporation.
11. Preemptive
Rights. The Convertible Preferred is not entitled to any preemptive
or subscription rights in respect of any securities of the
Corporation.
G. Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock
1. DESIGNATION. This
series of Preferred Stock shall be designated “Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock.” Such series is referred to herein as the “Series C Preferred
Stock.”
2. NUMBER
OF SHARES AND PAR VALUE. The number of shares constituting the Series
C Preferred Stock shall be equal to 103,143. Each share of the Series
C Preferred Stock shall have $.001 par value.
3. RELATIVE
SENIORITY. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, in respect of the
right to participate in distributions or payments in the event of any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (a) pari passu
with the Common Stock (as defined below) of the Corporation and with any other
class or series of stock of the Corporation, the terms of which specifically
provide that such class or series shall rank pari passu with the Series C
Preferred Stock in respect of the right to participate in distributions or
payments in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation; and (b) junior to any other class or series of stock of the
Corporation, the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series
shall rank senior to the Series C Preferred Stock in respect of the right to
participate in distributions or payments in the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The term “COMMON STOCK”
shall mean all shares now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock
of the Corporation.
4. NO
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation, after distribution
in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of
shares of any series of Preferred Stock, having a priority on liquidation
superior to that of the Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate with the Common Stock
in all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its stockholders, ratably with the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the
number of shares of Common Stock held by them, assuming for each holder of
Series C Preferred Stock on the record date for such distribution that each
holder was the holder of record of the number (including any fraction) of shares
of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then held by
such holder are then convertible. A liquidation, dissolution, or
winding-up of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this Section 4, shall
not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any merger of the Corporation
with or into one or more corporations or other entities, any acquisition or
exchange of the outstanding shares of one or more classes or series of the
Corporation, or any sale, lease, exchange, or other disposition of all or a part
of the assets of the Corporation.
5. VOTING
RIGHTS. Except as otherwise required by law, each share of
outstanding Series C Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to vote on
each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation and to
have the number of votes equal to the number (including any fraction) of shares
of Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock is then
convertible pursuant to the provisions hereof at the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such
record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written
consent of stockholders becomes effective. Except as otherwise
required by law or by this Certificate, the holders of shares of Common Stock
and Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together and not as separate
classes.
6. DIVIDENDS
AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If any dividend or other distribution payable in
cash, securities or other property, including a dividend payable in shares of
Common Stock, is declared on the Common Stock, each holder of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock on the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be
entitled to receive on the date of payment or distribution of such dividend or
other distribution the same cash, securities or other property which such holder
would have received on such record date if such holder was the holder of record
of the number (including any fraction) of shares of Common Stock into which the
shares of Series C Preferred Stock then held by such holder are then
convertible. No dividend or other distribution shall be declared or
paid on the Common Stock unless an equivalent dividend or other distribution
that satisfies this Section 6 is declared or paid on the Series C Preferred
Stock.
7. CONVERSION. The
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as
follows:
(a) Conversion
Ratio. The holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall
have the right (the “Conversion Right”), at such holder’s option, to convert
such share, without cost, on the terms and at the times specified in this
Section 7, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock as specified by the Conversion Ratio that is in effect at the time of
conversion; provided that, and only to the extent that, the Corporation has a
sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common
Stock available to issue upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock. The initial “Conversion Ratio” for the Series C
Preferred Stock is 350:1. The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7.
(b) Shares
Eligible for Conversion. The below specified number of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be eligible for conversion during each successive
90 days, commencing 90 days after the effective date of an increase in the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock sufficient to issue
upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
Stock.
The
number of Series C Preferred Shares eligible for conversion during each 90 day
period is 10% (ten percent) of the original number of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock issued to each original holder (“Eligible
Shares”). Any Eligible Shares not converted during any 90 day period
may not be cumulated and carried forward to the next 90 day
period. Any subsequent owner or holder of all or any part of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be subject to the same eligibility provisions applicable
to the original holder of such shares.
(c) Mechanics
of Conversion. A holder of any share of Series C Preferred Stock may
exercise the Conversion Right of such share by surrendering the certificate
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the Series C Preferred Stock, together with a written notice to the
Corporation which shall state: (A) that such holder elects to convert the same,
(B) the number of shares issued to the original holder of such shares; and (C)
the number of Eligible Shares and the number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock being converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue
and deliver to the holder of such shares a certificate or certificates for the
number of whole shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be
entitled. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would
otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation) of the Common Stock. If the
certificate evidencing the Series C Preferred Stock being converted shall also
evidence shares of Series C Preferred Stock not being converted, then the
Corporation shall also deliver to the holder of such certificate a new stock
certificate evidencing the Series C Preferred Stock not
converted. The conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
the date that the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted are
surrendered to the Corporation, and the person or persons entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on
such date. Any dividends or distributions declared but unpaid at the
time of conversion with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock so converted,
including any dividends declared on the Common Stock to which the Series C
Preferred Stock is entitled pursuant to Section 6 above, shall be paid to the
holder of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
upon the payment date therefore.
The
Corporation shall give written notice to each holder of a share of Series C
Preferred Stock promptly upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, and not more than fifty (50) nor less than twenty (20) days before
the anticipated date of consummation of any acquisition of the Corporation or
any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and no
such acquisition of the Corporation or sale of assets shall be effective until
such notice shall have been given.
(d) Adjustment
of Conversion Ratio. The Conversion Ratio for each share of Series C
Preferred Stock and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of any
share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted from time to time as
follows:
(i) Subdivision
or Combination of Shares. If the Corporation at any time effects an
increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by subdivision, the
Conversion Ratio shall be increased in the same proportions as the Common Stock
is subdivided, in each case effective automatically upon, and simultaneously
with, the effectiveness of the subdivision which gives rise to the
adjustment. If the Corporation at any time effects a decrease in the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by combination or any other means,
the Conversion Ratio shall remain the same and unchanged.
(ii) Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger. If at any time, as a result of (A) a capital
reorganization or reclassification (other than a subdivision or combination
which gives rise to an adjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to Section
7(d)(i)); or (B) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another
corporation (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving corporation), the
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for the same or a different number of shares of any
class or classes of stock of the Corporation or any other corporation, or other
securities convertible into such shares, then, as a part of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger or consolidation, appropriate adjustments shall be made
in the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock (or of any securities into which
the Series C Preferred Stock is changed or for which the Series C Preferred
Stock is exchanged), so that: (x) the holders of Series C Preferred Stock or of
such substitute securities shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or of such substitute securities, the
kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property which
such holders would have received at the time of such capital reorganization,
reclassification, merger, or consolidation, if such holders had converted their
Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to such capital reorganization,
reclassification, merger, or consolidation, and (y) the Series C Preferred Stock
or such substitute securities shall thereafter be adjusted on terms as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments theretofore provided in this
Section 7(d). No consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is
not the surviving corporation shall be consummated unless the surviving
corporation shall agree, in writing, to the provisions of this Section
7(d)(ii). The provisions of this Section 7(d)(ii) shall similarly
apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, and
consolidations.
(iii) Other
Action Affecting Common Stock. If at any time the Corporation takes
any action affecting its Common Stock which, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, would have an adverse effect upon the Conversion
Rights of the Series C Preferred Stock and the foregoing conversion ratio
adjustment provisions are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any
adjustment would adversely affect the Conversion Rights, then the Conversion
Ratio and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to preserve, without dilution, the Conversion
Rights in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.
(iv) Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratio or the kind of
securities issuable upon the conversion of any one of or all of the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to Sections 7(d)(i) - (iii) above,
the Corporation shall make a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer,
Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event
requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such
adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the
Board of Directors of the Corporation made any determination hereunder), and the
Conversion Ratio and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of the
Series C Preferred Stock after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause
copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail postage prepaid) to
each holder of Series C Preferred Stock promptly after each
adjustment.
(e) Full
Consideration. All shares of Common Stock which shall be issued upon
the conversion of any Series C Preferred Stock (which is itself fully paid and
non-assessable) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and
non-assessable. The Corporation will pay such amounts and will take
such other action as may be necessary from time to time so that all shares of
Common Stock which shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series C Preferred
Stock will, upon issuance and without cost to the recipient, be free from all
pre-emptive rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue
thereof.
(f) No
Impairment. The Corporation 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 Corporation but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 7 and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
against impairment.
(g) Cancellation
of Series C Preferred Stock. No share of Series C Preferred Stock
acquired by the Corporation upon conversion, redemption or purchase shall be
reissued and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and returned to the
status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred
stock. The Corporation may take such appropriate corporate action to
reduce the authorized number of Series C Preferred Stock
accordingly.
8. PROTECTIVE
PROVISIONS. In addition to any other rights provided by law, so long
as at least one share of Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, the
Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written
consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a single class:
(a) amend
or repeal any provision of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws
or this Certificate of Designation if such action would materially and adversely
alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or the
restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series C Preferred
Stock;
(b) increase
or decrease (other than by conversion) the total number of authorized shares of
Series C Preferred Stock;
(c) create
or issue any series or class, reclassify any authorized capital stock of the
Corporation into stock of any series or class, increase the authorized or issued
amount of any class or series of stock, or authorize, create, issue or
reclassify any obligation or security convertible or exchangeable into or
evidencing a right to purchase capital stock of any class or series, that ranks
prior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends or rights upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up;
(d) issue
any Common Stock after the date on which Series C Preferred Stock has been last
issued and sold, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the
Corporation, for a consideration per share less than fair market value of the
Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation) at such issuance or deemed issuance other than: (1) shares of
Common Stock issued in transactions giving rise to adjustments under Sections
7(d)(i) or (ii) above, (2) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or (3) shares issued upon the conversion of
Convertible Securities (as defined below) if the issuance of such Convertible
Securities did not violate Section 8(e) below;
(e) issue
any Convertible Securities with respect to which the Effective Price is less
than the fair market value of the Common Stock (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation), at such issuance or deemed
issuance. “CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES” means all rights or options for
the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into, Common Stock
(other than Common Stock issued for the purposes set forth in Sections 8(d)(1)
or (2) above) or other Convertible Securities, whenever and each time
issued. The “EFFECTIVE PRICE” with respect to any Convertible
Securities means the result of dividing: (1) the sum of (x) the total
consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such
Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum consideration, if any, payable to
the Corporation upon exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities
(assuming that the full amount of securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion are issued), plus (z) the minimum consideration, if any, payable to
the Corporation upon exercise or conversion of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities, by: (2) the
maximum number of Common Stock (other than Common Stock issued for the purposes
set forth in Sections 8(d)(1) or (2) above) issuable upon exercise or conversion
of such Convertible Securities or of any Convertible Securities issuable upon
exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities; or
(f) sell,
convey, or otherwise dispose of or encumber all or substantially all of its
property or business or merge or consolidate with any other corporation (other
than a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation) or effect any transaction or series
of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting
power of the Corporation is disposed of.
9. SEVERABILITY
OF PROVISIONS. If any voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of the Series C Preferred Stock
and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof set forth in this
resolution (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid,
unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public
policy, all other voting powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights of Series C Preferred Stock and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof set forth in this
resolution (as so amended) which can be given effect without the invalid,
unlawful or unenforceable voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of Series C Preferred Stock and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof shall, nevertheless, remain
in full force and effect, and no voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of Series C Preferred Stock and
qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof herein set forth shall be
deemed dependent upon any other such voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of Series C Preferred Stock and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof unless so expressed
herein.
H. Certain

thereof in writing, delivered or mailed by first class United States mail,

if known, residence address of each nominee proposed in such notice, (2) the
principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, and (3) the number of

provide any other information reasonably requested by the
Corporation.
B. Each
such notice given by a stockholder to the Secretary with respect to business

matter: (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the
meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (2) the

proposal shall be disregarded and laid over for action at the next succeeding

defective nomination or proposal.
ARTICLE
X
DIRECTORS
A. Number;
Vacancies. The number of
directors of the Corporation shall be such number, not less than one nor more
than 15 (exclusive of directors, if any, to be elected by holders of preferred
stock of the Corporation), as shall be provided from time to time in a
resolution adopted by the board of directors, provided that no decrease in the
number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any
incumbent director, and provided further that no action shall be taken to
decrease or increase the number of directors from time to time unless at least
two-thirds of the directors then in office shall concur in said
action. Exclusive of directors, if any, elected by holders of
preferred stock, vacancies in the board of directors of the Corporation, however
caused, and newly created directorships shall be filled by a vote of two-thirds
of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and any director so
chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders at which the term of the class to which the director has been
chosen expires and when the director's successor is elected and qualified. The
board of directors shall be classified in accordance with the provisions of
Section B of this Article X.
B. Classified
Board. The board of directors of the Corporation (other than
directors which may be elected by the holders of preferred stock) shall be
divided into three classes of directors which shall be designated Class I, Class
II and Class III. The members of each class shall be elected for a term of three
years and until their successors are elected and qualified. Such classes shall
be as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting
the entire board of directors shall permit, exclusive of directors, if any,
elected by holders of preferred stock, with the terms of office of all members
of one class expiring each year. Should the number of directors not be equally
divisible by three, the excess director or directors shall be assigned to
Classes I or II as follows: (1) if there shall be an excess of one directorship
over the number equally divisible by three, such extra directorship shall be
classified in Class I; and (2) if there be an excess of two directorships over a
number equally divisible by three, one shall be classified in Class I and the
other in Class II. At the first meeting of the board of directors of the
Corporation, directors of Class I shall be elected to hold office for a term
expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders, directors of Class II
shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the second succeeding
annual meeting of stockholders and directors of Class III shall be elected to
hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting
thereafter. Thereafter, at each succeeding annual meeting, directors of each
class shall be elected for three-year terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
director whose term shall expire at any annual meeting shall continue to serve
until such time as his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have
qualified unless his position on the board of directors shall have been
abolished by action taken to reduce the size of the board of directors prior to
said meeting.
C. Increase
and Reduction in Directors. Should the number of directors of the
Corporation be reduced, the directorship(s) eliminated shall be allocated among
classes as appropriate so that the number of directors in each class is as
specified in the position(s) to be abolished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term
of any incumbent director. Should the number of directors of the
Corporation be increased, other than directors which may be elected by the
holders of preferred stock, the additional directorships shall be allocated
among classes as appropriate so that the number of directors in each class is as
specified in the immediately preceding paragraph.
D. Directors
Elected by Preferred Stockholders. Whenever the holders of any one or
more series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right, voting
separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the
board of directors shall include said directors so elected in addition to the
number of directors fixed as provided in this Article
X. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise may be
required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of preferred
stock of the Corporation elect one or more directors of the Corporation, the
terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the
next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders.
E. In
furtherance, but not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the board
of directors is expressly authorized to do the following:
(a) Designate
one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the
directors of the Corporation and such number of natural persons who are not
directors as the board of directors shall designate, which to the extent
provided in the Resolution, or in the by-laws of the Corporation, shall have and
may exercise the powers of the board of directors in the management of the
business and affairs of the Corporation.
(b) As
provided by Nevada Revised Statutes 78.140, without repeating the section in
full here, the same is adopted and no contract or other transaction between this
Corporation and any of its officers, agents or directors shall be deemed void or
voidable solely for that reason. The balance of the provisions of the
code section cited, as it now exists, allowing such transactions, is hereby
incorporated into this Article as though more fully set forth, and such Article
shall be read and interpreted to provide the greatest latitude in its
application.
(c) As
provided by Nevada Revised Statutes 78.207, without repeating the section in
full here, the board of directors shall have the authority to change the number
of shares of any class or series, if any, of authorized stock by increasing or
decreasing the number of authorized shares of the class or series and
correspondingly increasing or decreasing the number of issued and outstanding
shares of the same class or series held by each stockholder of record at the
effective date and time of the change by a resolution adopted by the board of
directors, without obtaining the approval of the stockholders.
(d) If
a proposed increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares
of any class or series would adversely alter or change any preference or any
relative or other right given to any other class or series of outstanding
shares, then the decrease must be approved by the vote, in addition to any vote
required, of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power
of each class or series whose preference or rights are adversely affected by the
increase or decrease, regardless of limitations or restrictions on the voting
power thereof. The increase or decrease does not have to be approved
by the vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power
in each class or series whose preference or rights are not adversely affected by
the increase or decrease.
(e)
Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the board of
directors or a committee of the board of directors that is delegated the power
to call special meetings by the board of directors.
(f) Change
the name of the Corporation at any time and from time to time to any name
authorized by Nevada Revised Statutes 78.039.
ARTICLE
XI
REMOVAL
OF DIRECTORS
Notwithstanding
any other provision of these Articles or the bylaws of the Corporation, any
director or all the directors of a single class (but not the entire board of
directors) of the Corporation may be removed, at any time, but only for cause
and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting
power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors (considered for this purpose as one
class) cast at a meeting of the stockholders called for that
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any
one or more series of preferred stock of the Corporation shall have the right,
voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the Corporation,
the preceding provisions of this Article XI shall not apply with respect to the
director or directors elected by such holders of preferred stock.
ARTICLE
XII
INDEMNIFICATION
Any
person who was or is a party or is or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of
the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
incorporator, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, incorporator, employee,
partner, trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan), shall be
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation to the full extent then permitted
by law against expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements), judgments,
fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee
benefit plan), and amounts paid in settlement incurred by him in connection with
such action, suit, or proceeding and, if so requested, the Corporation shall
advance (within two business days of such request) any and all such expenses to
the person indemnified; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing obligation of
the Company shall not apply to a claim that was commenced by the person
indemnified without the prior approval of the Board of Directors. Such right of
indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on
matters which antedate the adoption of this Article XV. Such right of
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person. The
indemnification provided by this Article XV shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights which may be provided now or in the future under any provision
currently in effect or hereafter adopted of the bylaws, by any agreement, by
vote of stockholders, by resolution of disinterested directors, by provisions of
law, or otherwise.
ARTICLE
XIII
LIMITATIONS
ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITY
No
director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director or officer, except: (A) for acts or omissions that involve intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or (B) the payment of
distributions in violation of Nevada Revised Statutes Sec.78.300. If
the General Corporation law of the State of Nevada is amended after the date of
filing of these Articles to further eliminate or limit the personal liability of
directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation
Law of the State of Nevada, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the
foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the
time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE
XIV
AMENDMENT
OF BYLAWS
In
furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the board
of directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter,
amend and rescind the bylaws of the Corporation by a vote of two-thirds of the
board of directors.

Subject
to the provisions hereof, the Corporation reserves the right to repeal, alter,
amend or rescind any provision contained in these Articles in the manner now or
hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are

Maker (the "Common Stock").
(b) If the
Holder elects to convert less than the full principal amount of this Note, the
Maker shall issue a Note in substantially the same form as this Note, except
that the principal amount shall be reduced by the principal amount so converted
(exclusive of the redemption premium).
(c) The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is equal
to the quotient of the Conversion Amount of that portion of the Note being
converted divided by the Conversion Price. Fractional shares will not be issued.
In lieu of any fraction of a share, the Maker shall deliver its check for the
dollar amount of the less than full share remainder. For purposes of this Note,
the "Conversion Price" shall mean the product of (a) .75 and (b) the average
closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days ending on the
trading day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
(d) To
convert this Note into Common Stock, (the "Conversion Date"), the Holder hereof
shall (A) deliver or transmit by facsimile, for receipt on or prior to 11:59

conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice") to
the Maker or its designated transfer agent for its Common Stock (the "Transfer
Agent"), and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Maker or the
Transfer Agent as soon as practicable following such date, this Note (or an
indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of the loss,
theft, or destruction of this Note) and the originally executed Conversion
Notice. The date the Maker receives the Conversion Note and this Note is
hereinafter the "Conversion Date."
(e) Upon
receipt by the Maker of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Maker shall

shall, within five (5) business days following the date of receipt, (A) issue
and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as
specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which Holder

to which such Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance
account at The Depository Trust Company.
(f) The
Person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a
conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the "Record Holder"
or Holder of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(g) If the
Maker shall fail to issue to Holder within five (5) business days following the
date of receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of this Note to be converted

multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the business day
following the date of receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of the
Conversion Notice. The foregoing notwithstanding, Holder at its option may
withdraw a Conversion Notice, and remain a Holder of this Note, if Holder has
otherwise complied with this Section 4.
(h) If any
adjustment to the Conversion Price to be made pursuant to clause (j) of this
Section 4 becomes effective immediately after a record date for an event as
therein described, and conversion occurs prior to such event but after the
record date, the Maker may defer issuing, delivering, or paying to Holder any
additional shares of Common Stock or check for any cash remainder required by
reason of such adjustment until the occurrence of such event, provided that the
Maker delivers to Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing
the Holders' right to receive such additional shares or check upon the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
(i) Until
such time as this Note has been fully redeemed, the Maker shall
reserve
out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock enough shares of Common Stock
to
permit
the conversion of the entire Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid
interest due on
this Note
at any time. All shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note
shall be
fully
paid and nonassessable. The Maker covenants that if any shares of Common
Stock,
required
to be reserved for purposes of conversion of this Note hereunder, require
registration
with or
approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law or listing
upon any
national
securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Maker
shall
in good
faith, as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered,
approved
or listed, as the case may be.
(j) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as
follows:
(i) If
the Maker at any time subdivides (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 Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Maker at any time 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 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.
(ii) Prior
to the consummation of any Organic Change (as defined below), the Maker will
make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder to
insure that Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu
of, or in addition to, (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of this
Holder's Note, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as may be issued or
payable with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of shares of Common
Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of
this Note had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Maker
will make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to Holder
with respect to such Holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions
of this clause (j) will thereafter be applicable. The Maker will not effect any
such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof
the successor entity (if other than the Maker) resulting from consolidation or
merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument (in
form and substance satisfactory to Holder), the obligation to deliver to Holder
such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, that Holder may be entitled to acquire. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Organic Change" means any recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of
the Maker's assets to another Person (as defined below), or other similar
transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock,
securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock; and
"Person" means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a
joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, and a
government or any department or agency thereof.
(k) The
Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Holder. The
Company agrees to include such shares on the first available registration,
including forms S-l, SB-2 or S-3, filed by the Company with Securities and
Exchange Commission.
(1) Unless
the Note is under Default (as defined in Section 5 of the Note) or unless prior
to an Organic Change (as defined in Section 4(j)(n) of the Note), in no event
shall the Holder be entitled to convert the Notes in excess of that number,
which upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to
exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following the
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise of the Notes with respect to which the determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) conversion of the remaining unconverted Notes owned by the Holder or its
affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the holder and it affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(1), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.
5. Events of Default. If
any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing: (a) the
Maker shall default in the payment of principal of this Note when the same
becomes due and payable; (b) the Maker shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts as such debts become due; (c) the Maker shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) the Maker shall commence a
voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in
effect); (e) the Maker shall file a petition seeking to take advantage of any
other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or adjustment of debts; (f) there
shall have been instituted against the Maker any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for
relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or adjustment of debts, which are not dismissed within
sixty (60) days after such institution; or (g) the Maker shall take any action
for the purposes of effecting any of the foregoing; then, and in any such event,
the Holder may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been
remedied) at its option, declare this Note to be due and payable, whereupon this
Note shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which
are hereby waiver.
6. NEGATIVE

any of the Bridge Notes shall remain outstanding

additional shares of Common Stock or check for any cash remainder required by
reason of such adjustment until the occurrence of such event, provided that the
Maker delivers to Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing
the Holders' right to receive such additional shares or check upon the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
(i) Until
such time as this Note has been fully redeemed, the Maker shall
reserve
out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock enough shares of Common Stock
to
permit
the conversion of the entire Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid
interest due on
this Note
at any time. All shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note
shall be
fully
paid and nonassessable. The Maker covenants that if any shares of Common
Stock,
required
to be reserved for purposes of conversion of this Note hereunder, require
registration
with or
approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law or listing
upon any
national
securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Maker
shall
in good
faith, as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered,
approved
or listed, as the case may be.
(j) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as
follows:
(i) If
the Maker at any time subdivides (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 Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Maker at any time 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 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.
(ii) Prior
to the consummation of any Organic Change (as defined below), the Maker will
make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder to
insure that Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu
of, or in addition to, (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of this
Holder's Note, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as may be issued or
payable with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of shares of Common
Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of
this Note had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Maker
will make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to Holder
with respect to such Holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions
of this clause (j) will thereafter be applicable. The Maker will not effect any
such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof
the successor entity (if other than the Maker) resulting from consolidation
or
merger or
the entity purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument (in form
and
substance
satisfactory to Holder), the obligation to deliver to Holder such shares of
stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
that Holder may be entitled to acquire. For purposes of this Agreement, "Organic
Change" means any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of the Maker's assets
to another Person (as defined below), or other similar transaction which is
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
(either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets
with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock; and "Person" means an
individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a
corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, and a government or any
department or agency thereof.
(k) The
Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Holder. The
Company agrees to include such shares on the first available registration,
including forms S-l, SB-2 or S-3, filed by the Company with Securities and
Exchange Commission.
(1) Unless
the Note is under Default (as defined in Section 5 of the Note) or unless prior
to an Organic Change (as defined in Section 4(j)(ii) of the Note), in no event
shall the Holder be entitled to convert the Notes in excess of that number,
which upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to
exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following the
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise of the Notes with respect to which the determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) conversion of the remaining unconverted Notes owned by the Holder or its
affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the holder and it affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(1), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.
5. Events of Default. If
any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing: (a) the

arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for
relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or adjustment of debts, which are not dismissed within
sixty (60) days after such institution; or (g) the Maker shall take any action
for the purposes of effecting any of the foregoing; then, and in any such event,
the Holder may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been
remedied) at its option, declare this Note to be due and payable, whereupon this
Note shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which
are hereby waiver.

1. Payments. The Maker
agrees to pay the principal of this Note within ten (10) days following demand
from the Holder requesting payment, which demand may be made at any time after
the 120th day
following the issue date of this Note. The Maker shall have the right to prepay
this Note in whole at any time or in part from time to time. Any payments,
including prepayments, of principal of this Note, whether upon demand, at the
option of the Company, upon default or otherwise shall include a repayment
premium equal to the product of (a) the Repayment Percentage (as defined below)
and (b) the number of thirty (30) day periods (rounded up to the next whole
number) (each 30-day period referred to as a "Monthly Period") that this Note
has been outstanding (computed from the date of issuance of this Note to the
date of payment) but in no event higher than the maximum amount permitted by
law. For purposes of this Note, the Repayment Percentage shall mean one and
one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding principal amount of this Note. All

time after the date that is 120 days following the issue date of this Note and

together with the Repayment Percentage, and accrued and unpaid interest and fees
due on this Note (the "Conversion Amount") into shares of common stock of the
Maker (the "Common Stock").
(b) If the
Holder elects to convert less than the full principal amount of this Note, the
Maker shall issue a Note in substantially the same form as this Note, except
that the principal amount shall be reduced by the principal amount so converted
(exclusive of the redemption premium).
(c) The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is equal
to the quotient of the Conversion Amount of that portion of the Note being
converted divided by the Conversion Price. Fractional shares will not be issued.
In lieu of any fraction of a share, the Maker shall deliver its check for the
dollar amount of the less than full share remainder. For purposes of this Note,
the "Conversion Price" shall mean the product of (a) .75 and (b) the average
closing bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days ending on the
trading day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
(d) To
convert this Note into Common Stock, (the "Conversion Date"), the Holder hereof
shall (A) deliver or transmit by facsimile, for receipt on or prior to 11:59
P.M., Eastern Time, on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of
conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Conversion Notice") to
the Maker or its designated transfer agent for its Common Stock (the "Transfer
Agent"), and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Maker or the
Transfer Agent as soon as practicable following such date, this Note (or an
indernnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of the
loss, theft, or destruction of this Note) and the originally executed Conversion
Notice. The date the Maker receives the Conversion Note and this Note is
hereinafter the "Conversion Date."
(e) Upon
receipt by the Maker of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Maker shall
immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion
Notice to Holder. Upon receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of the Note to
be converted pursuant to a Conversion Notice, together with the originally
executed Conversion Notice, the Maker or the Transfer Agent (as applicable)
shall, within five (5) business days following the date of receipt, (A) issue
and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as
specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of
Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which Holder
shall be entitled or (B) credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
to which such Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance
account at The Depository Trust Company.
(f) The
Person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a
conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the "Record Holder"
or Holder of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(g) If the
Maker shall fail to issue to Holder within five (5) business days following the
date of receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of this Note to be converted
pursuant to a Conversion Notice, a certificate for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which each Holder is entitled upon Holder's conversion of this
Note, in addition to all other available remedies which such Holder may pursue
hereunder, the Maker shall pay additional damages to Holder on each day after
the fifth (5th) business day following the date of receipt by the Maker or the
Transfer Agent an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to Holder and to which Holder is entitled
multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the business day
following the date of receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of the
Conversion Notice. The foregoing notwithstanding, Holder at its option may
withdraw a Conversion Notice, and remain a Holder of this Note, if Holder has
otherwise complied with this Section 4.
(h) If any
adjustment to the Conversion Price to be made pursuant to clause (j) of this
Section 4 becomes effective immediately after a record date for an event as
therein described, and conversion occurs prior to such event but after the
record date, the Maker may defer issuing, delivering, or paying to Holder any
additional shares of Common Stock or check for any cash remainder required by
reason of such adjustment until the occurrence of such event, provided that the
Maker delivers to Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing
the Holders' right to receive such additional shares or check upon the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
(i) Until
such time as this Note has been fully redeemed, the Maker shall
reserve
out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock enough shares of Common Stock
to
permit
the conversion of the entire Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid
interest due on
this Note
at any time. All shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note
shall be
fully
paid and nonassessable. The Maker covenants that if any shares of Common
Stock,
required
to be reserved
for purposes of conversion of this Note hereunder, require
registration
with or
approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law or listing
upon any
national
securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Maker
shall
in good
faith, as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered,
approved
or listed, as the case may be.
(j) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as
follows:
(i) If
the Maker at any time subdivides (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 Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Maker at any time 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 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.
(ii) Prior
to the consummation of any Organic Change (as defined below), the Maker will
make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder to
insure that Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu
of, or in addition to, (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of this
Holder's Note, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as may be issued or
payable with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of shares of Common
Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of
this Note had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Maker
will make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to Holder
with respect to such Holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions
of this clause (j) will thereafter be applicable. The Maker will not effect any
such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof
the successor entity (if other than the Maker) resulting from consolidation or
merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument (in
form and substance satisfactory to Holder), the obligation to deliver to Holder
such shares of stock, securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, that Holder may be entitled to acquire. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Organic Change" means any recapitalization, reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of
the Maker's assets to another Person (as defined below), or other similar
transaction which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are
entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock,
securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock; and
"Person" means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a
joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, and a
government or any department or agency thereof.
(k) The
Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Holder. The
Company agrees to include such shares on the first available registration,
including forms S-l, SB-2 or S-3, filed by the Company with Securities and
Exchange Commission.
(1) Unless
the Note is under Default (as defined in Section 5 of the Note) or unless prior
to an Organic Change (as defined in Section 4(j)(ii) of the Note), in no event
shall the Holder be entitled to convert the Notes in excess of that number,
which upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to
exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following the
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise of the Notes with respect to which the determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) conversion of the remaining unconverted Notes owned by the Holder or its
affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the holder and it affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(1), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.
5. Events of Default. If
any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing: (a) the
Maker shall default in the payment of principal of this Note when the same
becomes due and payable; (b) the Maker shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts as such debts become due; (c) the Maker shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) the Maker shall commence a
voluntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in
effect); (e) the Maker shall file a petition seeking to take advantage of any
other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or adjustment of debts; (f) there
shall have been instituted against the Maker any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for
relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or adjustment of debts, which are not dismissed within
sixty (60) days after such institution; or (g) the Maker shall take any action
for the purposes of effecting any of the foregoing; then, and in any such event,
the Holder may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been
remedied) at its option, declare this Note to be due and payable, whereupon this
Note shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which
are hereby waiver.

(c) The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is equal
to the quotient of the Conversion Amount of that portion of the Note being

Note_082304
(g) If the
Maker shall fail to issue to Holder within five (5) business days following the
date of receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of this Note to be converted
pursuant to a Conversion Notice, a certificate for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which each Holder is entitled upon Holder's conversion of this
Note, in addition to all other available remedies which such Holder may pursue
hereunder, the Maker shall pay additional damages to Holder' on each day after
the fifth (5th) business day following the date of receipt by the Maker or the
Transfer Agent an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to Holder and to which Holder is entitled
multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock on the business day
following the date of receipt by the Maker or the Transfer Agent of the
Conversion Notice. The foregoing notwithstanding, Holder at its option may
withdraw a Conversion Notice, and remain a Holder of this Note, if Holder has
otherwise complied with this Section 4.
(h) If any
adjustment to the Conversion Price to be made pursuant to clause (j) of this
Section 4 becomes effective immediately after a record date for an event as
therein described, and conversion occurs prior to such event but after the
record date, the Maker may defer issuing, delivering, or paying to Holder any
additional shares of Common Stock or check for any cash remainder required by
reason of such adjustment until the occurrence of such event, provided that the
Maker delivers to Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing
the Holders' right to receive such additional shares or check upon the
occurrence of the event giving rise to the adjustment.
(i) Until
such time as this Note has been fully redeemed, the Maker shall
reserve
out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock enough shares of Common Stock
to
permit
the conversion of the entire Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid
interest due on
this Note
at any time. All shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note
shall be
fully
paid and nonassessable. The Maker covenants that if any shares of Common
Stock,
required
to be reserved for purposes of conversion of this Note hereunder, require
registration
with or
approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law or listing
upon any
national
securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Maker
shall
in good
faith, as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to cause such shares to be duly
registered,
approved
or listed, as the case may be.
(j) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as
follows:
(i) If
the Maker at any time subdivides (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 Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Maker at any time 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 Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination will be proportionately increased.
(ii) Prior
to the consummation of any Organic Change (as defined below), the Maker will
make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder to
insure that Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu
of, or in addition to, (as the case may be) the shares of Common Stock
immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of this
Holder's Note, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as may be issued or
payable with respect to, or in exchange for, the number of shares of Common
Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of
this Note had such Organic Change not taken place. In any such case, the Maker
will make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to Holder
with respect to such Holder's rights and interests to insure that the provisions
of this clause (j) will thereafter be applicable. The Maker will not effect any
such consolidation, merger, or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof
the successor entity (if other than the Maker) resulting from consolidation or
merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument (in
form and
satisfactory
to Holder), the obligation to deliver to Holder such shares of stock,
securities, or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, that
Holder may be entitled to acquire. For purposes of this Agreement, "Organic
Change" means any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of the Maker's assets
to another Person (as defined below), or other similar transaction which is
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive
(either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets
with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock; and "Person" means an
individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a
corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, and a government or any
department or agency thereof.
(k) The
Holder shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Holder. The
Company agrees to include such shares on the first available registration,
including forms S-l, SB-2 or S-3, filed by the Company with Securities and
Exchange Commission.
(1) Unless
the Note is under Default (as defined in Section 5 of the Note) or unless prior
to an Organic Change (as defined in Section 4(j)(ii) of the Note), in no event
shall the Holder be entitled to convert the Notes in excess of that number,
which upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to
exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following the
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of
shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise of the Notes with respect to which the determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) conversion of the remaining unconverted Notes owned by the Holder or its
affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the holder and it affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(1), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.
5. Events of Default. If
any of the following conditions or events shall occur and be continuing: (a) the

sixty (60) days after such institution; or (g) the Maker shall take any action
for the purposes of effecting any of the foregoing; then, and in any such event,
the Holder may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been
remedied) at its option, declare this Note to be due and payable, whereupon this
Note shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, together with interest
accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which
are hereby waiver.
