I see an adjustment below .25 after 90 days and an adjustment of 85% of that price of an average trading period.

If it goes below .25 do they get more shares.....they do not

I do not see the concession allowing it.

I need to correct my claim that the Series EE shares have no floor. After reading the covenants, I found that they have the same restriction that the Series E shares had, that the conversion price can not go below $0.19 unless one of many other events happens wherein it can be lowered (see below).

Section 5. Conversion.

(a) (i) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(a)(iii)) at the Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 7), at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Company with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (a "CONVERSION Notice"). Each Conversion Notice shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Conversion Notice by facsimile (the "CONVERSION DATE"). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Conversion Notice, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Conversion Notice is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock to the Company unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such share of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. The calculations and entries set forth in the Conversion Notice shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.

(ii) Automatic Conversion. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for which Conversion Notices have not previously been received or for which redemption has not been made or required hereunder shall be automatically converted on the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date at the Conversion Ratio (without regard to Section 5(a)(iii)(C)). The conversion contemplated by this paragraph shall not occur without the consent of the Holder at such time as (a)(1) an Underlying Shares Registration Statement is not then effective or (2) the Holder is not permitted to resell Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act; (b) there are not sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon such conversion; or (c) the Company shall be in default of any material respect on its covenants and obligations hereunder or under the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined in Section 7). In addition, the two year period for automatic conversion under this Section shall be extended (on a day for day basis) for any Trading Days after the Dividend Effectiveness Date that a Holder is unable to resell Underlying Shares under an Underlying Shares Registration Statement due to (a) the Common Stock not being listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTC") or any subsequent market ("SUBSEQUENT MARKET"), (b) the failure of such Underlying Shares Registration Statement to be declared effective, or if so declared, to remain effective during the Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as to all Underlying Shares, or (c) the suspension of the Holder's right to resell Underlying Shares thereunder. The provisions of Section 5(a)(iii) shall not apply to any automatic conversion pursuant to this Section 5(a)(ii).

iii) Certain Conversion Restrictions.
(A) A Holder may not convert shares of Preferred Stock or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of dividends hereunder to the extent such conversion or receipt of such dividend payment would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 7) and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of dividends on, the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for shares of Preferred Stock that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in
Section 5(b) and, at the option of the Holder, either retain shares of Preferred Stock tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess shares of Preferred Stock permitted to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(B) A Holder may not convert shares of Preferred Stock or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of dividends hereunder to the extent such conversion or receipt of such dividend payment would result in the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of, and payment of dividends on, the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder after application of this Section. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for shares of Preferred Stock that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with the periods described in Section 5(b) and, at the option of the Holder, either retain shares of Preferred Stock tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess shares of Preferred Stock permitted to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

(C) Subject to the terms of this Section and Section 5(a)(ii), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company shall be required to issue upon conversions of Preferred Stock and payment of dividends thereon in shares of Common Stock is 12,210,527 (such number of shares, the "ISSUABLE MAXIMUM"). Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the number of shares of Preferred Stock issued and sold to such Holder under the Purchase Agreement by (y) the number of shares of Preferred Stock issued and sold by the Company to all Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement. If any Holder shall no longer hold shares of Preferred Stock, then such Holder's remaining portion of the Issuable Maximum shall be allocated pro-rata among the remaining Holders.

(b) Not later than five Trading Days after each Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends (if the Company has elected or is required to pay accrued dividends in cash). If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

c) (i) The conversion price for each share of Preferred Stock (the "CONVERSION PRICE") shall, (1) during the first 90 days following the Original Issue Date equal $0.25 (the "FIXED CONVERSION PRICE"), and (2) commencing the 90th day following the Original Issue Date, the Conversion Price shall equal the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) 85% of the VWAP of any ten day during the twenty consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall not under any circumstances be less than $0.19. Such twenty Trading Day measurement period shall be extended for the number of Trading Days during such period in which (A) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by the OTC or a Subsequent Market on which the Common Stock is then listed, or (B) after the date declared effective by the Commission, the Underlying Shares Registration Statement is either not effective or the Prospectus included in the Underlying Shares Registration Statement may not be used by the Holder for the resale of Underlying Shares.

(ii) If the Company, at any time while any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Junior Securities or pari passu securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification and exchange of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(c)(ii) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.

(iii) If the Company, at any time while any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall issue rights, warrants or options to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Per Share Market Value at the record date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, warrants or options, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Per Share Market Value, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall not under any circumstances be less than $0.19. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. However, upon the expiration of any right, warrant or option to purchase shares of Common Stock the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(c)(iii), if any such right, warrant or option shall expire and shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price shall immediately upon such expiration shall be recomputed and effective immediately upon such expiration shall be increased to the price which it would have been (but reflecting any other adjustments in the Conversion Price made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5 upon the issuance of other rights or warrants) had the adjustment of the Conversion Price made upon the issuance of such rights, warrants, or options 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, warrants or options actually exercised.

(iv) If at any time while shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding the Company or any Subsidiary (with respect to Common Stock Equivalents) shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at a price that is, at the issuance thereof, or at any later time due to adjustment, reset, additional issuances or otherwise, less than the Conversion Price, then, at the option of the Holder for such conversions as such Holder shall indicate in its Conversion Notices (including on conversion pursuant to section 5(a)(ii)), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted with respect to all unconverted shares of Preferred Stock to mirror the conversion, exchange or purchase price for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (including any reset provisions thereof) at issue. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. If the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price. A "COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENT" means any equity or equity equivalent securities (including debt or any other instrument that is at any time over the life thereof convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) issued by the Company or a subsidiary thereof that provide the holder thereof to receive shares of Common Stock. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Conversion Price will not be adjusted or reset while shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless the Company or any Subsidiary (with respect to Common Stock Equivalents) shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any of shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at a price that is, at the issuance thereof, or at any later time due to adjustment, reset, additional issuances or otherwise, less than $0.19 and, further, notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section shall not apply as a result of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or to be issued pursuant to: (A) employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors; (B) the acquisition of another business entity or business segment of any such entity by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization whereby the Company will own more than fifty (50%) of the voting power of such business segment of any such entity; (C) vendors or customers or to other persons in similar commercial situations with the Company if such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors; (D) corporate partnering transactions on terms approved by the Board of Directors; (E) the terms of any of the Company's preferred stock, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding on the date hereof; (F) borrowings, direct or indirect, from financial institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money, whether or not presently authorized which include an equity component which is not a major component of such borrowing or (G) other non-cash transactions.

(v) If the Company, at any time while shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security (excluding those referred to in Sections
5(c)(ii)-(iv) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price at which each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Per Share Market Value determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Per Share Market Value on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

(vi) All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(vii) Whenever the Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii),(iii), (iv) or (v) the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder, a notice setting forth the Fixed Conversion Price or the Conversion Price (as applicable) after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(viii) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property (other than compulsory share exchanges which constitute Change of Control Transactions), the Holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares only into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or share exchange, and the Holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such shares of Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or share exchange would have been entitled. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications or share exchanges.

(ix) In case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, or sale by the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company (on an as valued basis) in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right thereafter to (A) convert its shares of Preferred Stock into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled or (B) in the case of a merger or consolidation, (x) require the surviving entity to issue shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures with such aggregate stated value or in such face amount, as the case may be, equal to the Stated Value of the shares of Preferred Stock then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and other amounts owing thereon, which newly issued shares of preferred stock or debentures shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of the Preferred Stock (except, in the case of debentures, as may be required to reflect the differences between debt and equity) and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of a Holder of Preferred Stock set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which the Preferred Stock was issued (including, without limitation, as such rights relate to the acquisition, transferability, registration and listing of such shares of stock other securities issuable upon conversion thereof), and (y) simultaneously with the issuance of such convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures, shall have the right to convert such instrument only into shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale. In the case of clause (B), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction, the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction and the Conversion Price stated herein. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as continue to give the Holders the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events. The rights set forth in this Section 5(c)(ix) shall not alter the rights of a Holder set forth in Section 7, provided, that, a Holder may only exercise the rights set forth in this Section 5(c)(ix) or the rights set forth in Section 7 with respect to a single event giving rise to such rights.

(x) If (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock, (b) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (c) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (d) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share of exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (e) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then the Company shall notify the Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the stock books of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. Holders are entitled to convert shares of Preferred Stock during the 20-day period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

5(a) and Section 5(c)) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the provisions of Section (e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Per Share Market Value at such time. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon a conversion hereunder, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by such fraction.

(f) The issuance of certificates for Common Stock on conversion of Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Preferred Stock so converted.

(g) Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued.

(h) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders of the Preferred Stock hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company addressed to 13114 Evening Creek Drive South, San Diego, California 92128 Facsimile No.: (858) 486-3922, attention Chief Executive Officer, or to such other address or facsimile number as shall be specified in writing by the Company for such purpose. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to each Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) (with confirmation of transmission), (ii) the date after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date (with confirmation of transmission), (iii) upon receipt, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
