At this time, no such series of Preferred Stock exists. The number of shares into which the Notes may convert is determined by dividing (i) the principal amount of the Note plus, if applicable, the accrued but unpaid interest under the Note by (ii) $0.06 (as adjusted from time-to-time as set forth in the Notes).
