All shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are not present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the above described amendment proposal as of immediately prior to the opening of the polls at such meeting will automatically be redeemed by the Company for $0.001 in cash.  Any outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock that have not been so redeemed will automatically be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the close of business on the earlier of (i) the business day established by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion and (ii) the first business day following the date on which the Company's stockholders approve an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to reclassify the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock into a smaller number of shares of such common stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance with the terms of any such amendment.
