Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 13, 2015, Conexus Cattle Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Bitcoin Direct LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Bitcoin”) and all of the members of Bitcoin, entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired memberships interests representing 51% of Bitcoin in exchange for 500 shares of the Company’s Series H Preferred (as defined below), with an aggregate stated value equal to $500,000 (the “Exchange Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company has provided a working capital facility to Bitcoin in an amount up to $300,000 to be utilized by Bitcoin as needed and to be repaid by Bitcoin from working capital generated from Bitcoin’s operations. In addition, the Exchange Agreement provides an option to the members of Bitcoin for a period of five years to repurchase from the Company 10% of the Bitcoin membership interests held by the Company for $250,000.
On the same date, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in favor of Mr. Conrad Huss (“Huss”), in the principal amount of $85,500 (the “Principal Amount”), in exchange for Huss’ agreement to forgive all deferred compensation and any and all unpaid expenses accrued and owed to Huss by the Company. The Note supersedes and replaces in full that certain Promissory Note issued to Huss by the Company, dated December 31, 2013, as amended. The Note shall mature on December 31, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”) and the Principal Amount shall be paid on the Maturity Date. In accordance with the terms of the Note, Huss shall be entitled to convert a portion or all of the Principal Amount due and outstanding under the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to $0.0025.
On May 13, 2015, the Company and Huss entered into a twelve month Employment Agreement whereby Huss will serve as President of the Company (the “President”). In accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, the President shall receive monthly compensation of $10,000 and the Company shall reimburse the President for all normal, usual and necessary expenses incurred in furtherance of the business affairs of the Company. Additionally, the Company issued to Mr. Huss 51 shares of Series F Preferred (as defined below) with certain voting rights in order for Mr. Huss to efficiently facilitate the corporate governance activities of the Company.
On May 13, 2015, the Company and Southridge Partners II LP (“SRPII” and together with the Company, the “Parties”) entered into an additional Exchange Agreement (the “SRPII Agreement”) whereby (i) the Parties cancelled that certain Consulting Agreement dated January 15, 2015 between the Parties, (ii) the Company issued to SRPII 242 shares of the Company’s Series G Preferred (as defined below) with an aggregate stated value of $242,000, as consideration for (i) the surrender and retirement of certain Convertible Promissory Notes held by SRPII in the aggregate principal amount of $242,000, and (ii) the Company granting SRPII an investment right to purchase additional shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company.
Additionally, on May 13, 2015, the Company and Adirondack Partners, LLC (“Adirondack”) entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) whereby the Company and Adirondack agreed to cancel that certain Consulting Agreement dated April 7, 2014 in exchange for the issuance by the Company to Adirondack of 140 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred (as defined below). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Adirondack agreed to forgive any and all obligations and unpaid expenses accrued and owed to Adirondack by the Company under the Consulting Agreement.
These securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The securities issued under the SRPII Agreement qualified for exemption under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The securities issued under the other agreements disclosed above qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because such shareholders agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The foregoing description of the Securities Exchange Agreement, Note, Employment Agreement, SRPII Agreement and the Letter Agreement (the “Transaction Documents”) do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Transaction Documents, copies of which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3, Exhibit 10.4, and Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Item 1.01 and Item 5.02 are hereby incorporated by reference.
As disclosed above, the securities issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 3(a)(9) and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the Investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since they agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Series E Preferred ranks pari passu with all other designated preferred stock issued by the Company.

Series F Preferred Stock
On May 13, 2015, the Board authorized a Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of Series F Preferred Stock, designating Fifty One (51) shares of a new series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share with a stated value of $1.00 per share, as Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred”).

For purposes of illustration only, if the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000 the voting rights of one share of the Series F Preferred shall be equal to 102,036 ((0.019607 x 5,000,000) / 0.49) – (0.019607 x 5,000,000) = 102,036). With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred shall vote together with the holders of common stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws. If the Company affects a stock split which either increases or decreases the number of shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, the voting rights of the Series F Preferred shall not be subject to adjustment unless specifically authorized.
The Series F Preferred, with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Company, rank junior to all of the other designated preferred stock of the Company, and on a parity with each other class or series of capital stock of the Company the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series shall rank senior or junior to the Series F Preferred.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors, Appointment of Certain Officers;Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 10, 2015, the Company was informed that, effective May 13, 2015, Mr. Stephen Price, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company and Mr. Gerard Daignault, Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company shall resign from their respective positions, and all other positions to which they may have been assigned, regardless of whether they served in such capacity (the “Resignations”). The Resignations are not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
In connection with the Resignations, the Company issued 7,500 shares of Series D Preferred to each of Mr. Price and Mr. Daignault, in exchange for the surrender and retirement of the 7,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by both Mr. Price and Mr. Daignault. In addition, the Company issued 150 shares of Series E Preferred to each of Mr. Price and Mr. Daignault in return for the cancellation of all deferred compensation and forgiveness of any and all unpaid expenses accrued and owing to each of Mr. Price and Mr. Daignault by the Company.
These securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because such shareholders agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

SERIES D 8% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK TERMS
Section 1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. (a) The series of preferred stock shall be designated as the Series D 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares so designated and authorized shall be Thirteen Thousand (13,000). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”).
(b) Transfers. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Holder of such shares with the written consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Section 2. Dividends.
(a) Holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, and the Company shall accrue, quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on the Issuance Date (as defined in Section 7), cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) equal to eight percent (8%) per annum on the Stated Value, payable in cash or common stock at the option of the Holder, subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g). The Company may pay, at its option, accrued dividends at any time while the Series D Preferred Stock remains outstanding. The Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid dividends within five (5) days following the conversion of any or all of the Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, shall accrue daily commencing on the Issuance Date, and shall be deemed to accrue on such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends. The party that holds the Series D Preferred Stock on an applicable record date for any dividend payment will be entitled to receive such dividend payment and any other accrued and unpaid dividends which accrued prior to such dividend payment date, without regard to any sale or disposition of such Series D Preferred Stock subsequent to the applicable record date but prior to the applicable dividend payment date. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued on account of the Series D Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock based upon the number of shares then held by each Holder in proportion to the total number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding. In order for the Holders to exercise the right to have dividends paid in cash on any Conversion Date (as defined in Section 5), the Holders (as defined in Section 7) must indicate such intention in the Conversion Notice (as defined in Section 5), which notice will remain in effect for subsequent Conversion Notices until rescinded by the Holder in a written notice to such effect that is addressed to the Company.
(b) So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any subsidiary thereof shall, without the consent of the Holders of seventy percent (70%) of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Requisite Holders”), redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities (as defined in Section 7), nor shall the Company directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon, nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities, nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities.
Section 3. Voting Rights; Negative Covenants. Subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g) below, the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, on an as converted basis, on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, either by written consent or by proxy.

The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record Holder of Series D Preferred Stock. A “Sale” shall mean a sale of the majority of assets, a merger (other than where the Company is the surviving entity) or consolidation by the Company with another corporation or other entity.
Section 5. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at Option of Holder. Subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g) below, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time after the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series D Preferred Stock by a conversion ratio equal to $0.0025 (“Conversion Ratio”); A Holder shall effect a conversion by surrendering to the Company the original certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted to the Company, together with a completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Conversion Notice”). Each Conversion Notice shall specify the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted, 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 (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Conversion Notice, the Conversion Date shall be the date that the Conversion Notice is delivered pursuant to this Section 5(a).
(b) Not later than five (5) Trading Days after a Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon the conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, (ii) one or more certificates representing the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock not converted, and (iii) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so converted. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
(c) If at any time conditions shall arise by reason of action taken by the Company which in the sole opinion of the Board of Directors are not adequately covered by the other provisions hereof and which would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock (different than or distinguished from the effect generally on rights of holders of any class of the Company's capital stock) or if at any time any such conditions would be reasonably expected to arise by reason of any action contemplated by the Company, the Company shall mail a written notice briefly describing the action contemplated and the material adverse effects of such action on the rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock at least 30 calendar days prior to the effective date of such action, and an appraiser selected by the holders of majority in interest of the Series D Preferred Stock shall give its opinion as to the adjustment, if any (not inconsistent with the standards established in this Section 5), of the Conversion Price (including, if necessary, any adjustment as to the securities into which shares of Series D Preferred Stock may thereafter be convertible) and any distribution which is or would be required to preserve without diluting the rights of the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company, after receipt of the determination by such appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser, in good faith, in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each such appraiser. The Board of Directors shall make the adjustment recommended forthwith upon the receipt of such opinion or opinions or the taking of any such action contemplated, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made which in the opinion of the appraiser(s) giving the aforesaid opinion or opinions would result in an increase of the Conversion Price to more than the Conversion Price then in effect.
(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, not less than 100% of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 6 upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock hereunder. 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.
(e) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series D 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 Series D Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(f) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders of the Series D Preferred Stock hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of the President of the Company at the facsimile telephone number or address of the principal place of business of the Company. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of Series D Preferred Stock 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 5:00 p.m. (New York time), (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 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (iii) four days after deposit in the United States mails, (iv) the Business Day (as defined in Section 7) following the date of mailing, if send by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
(g) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined herein). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made and the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of 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 (including, without limitation, the Series D Preferred Stock or any other convertible securities of the Company) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5 applies, the determination of whether the Series D Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and of how many shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and how many shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (ii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series D Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series D Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon not less than sixty five (65) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5 applicable to its Series D Preferred Stock and the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-sixth (66th) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of Series D Preferred Stock.
Section 6. Adjustments to Conversion Ratio.
(a) The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i). Spin Off. If, for so long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Company consummates a spin off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction in which the Company, in addition to or in lieu of any other compensation received by the Company for such business, operations or assets, causes securities of another entity to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Spin Off Securities”), then the Company shall cause to be reserved Spin Off Securities (the “Reserved Spin Off Securities”) in the amount equal to the amount that would have been issued to all Holders had all shares of Series D Preferred Stock been outstanding as of the record date (the “Record Date”) of the Spinoff (such outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the “Outstanding Preferred Stock”). For determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company, after accounting for the Reserved Spin Off Securities, the Company shall treat all Shares of Series D Preferred Stock as if they had been converted as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date;
(ii). Stock Splits, etc. If, at any time while any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio and any other amounts calculated as contemplated by this Certificate of Designations shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action. By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing (a) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such split, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal one-half of what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; (b) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal ten times what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; and (c) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal such amount multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares (10 in the example) for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon (11 in the example).
(iii). Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 6, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder of Series D Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder of Series D Preferred Stock, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time and (c) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Series D Preferred Stock.
Section 7. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other government action to close.
“Common Stock” means the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, and stock of any other class into which such shares may hereafter have been reclassified or changed.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or a Sale (as defined below) (a “Liquidation”), the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series G Preferred Stock an amount equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends per share, whether declared or not, and all other amounts in respect thereof then due and payable prior to any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of Series G Preferred Stock shall be distributed among the holders of Series G Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record Holder of Series G Preferred Stock. A “Sale” shall mean a sale of the majority of assets, a merger (other than where the Company is the surviving entity) or consolidation by the Company with another corporation or other entity.
Section 5. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at Option of Holder. Subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g) below, each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time after the issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series G Preferred Stock by a conversion ratio equal to $0.0025 (“Conversion Ratio”); A Holder shall effect a conversion by surrendering to the Company the original certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be converted to the Company, together with a completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Conversion Notice”). Each Conversion Notice shall specify the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock to be converted, 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 (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Conversion Notice, the Conversion Date shall be the date that the Conversion Notice is delivered pursuant to this Section 5(a).
(b) Not later than five (5) Trading Days after a Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon the conversion of shares of Series G Preferred Stock, (ii) one or more certificates representing the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock not converted, and (iii) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series G Preferred Stock so converted. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use reasonable efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
(c) If at any time conditions shall arise by reason of action taken by the Company which in the sole opinion of the Board of Directors are not adequately covered by the other provisions hereof and which would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series G Preferred Stock (different than or distinguished from the effect generally on rights of holders of any class of the Company's capital stock) or if at any time any such conditions would be reasonably expected to arise by reason of any action contemplated by the Company, the Company shall mail a written notice briefly describing the action contemplated and the material adverse effects of such action on the rights of the holders of Series G Preferred Stock at least 30 calendar days prior to the effective date of such action, and an appraiser selected by the holders of majority in interest of the Series G Preferred Stock shall give its opinion as to the adjustment, if any (not inconsistent with the standards established in this Section 5), of the Conversion Price (including, if necessary, any adjustment as to the securities into which shares of Series G Preferred Stock may thereafter be convertible) and any distribution which is or would be required to preserve without diluting the rights of the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company, after receipt of the determination by such appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser, in good faith, in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each such appraiser. The Board of Directors shall make the adjustment recommended forthwith upon the receipt of such opinion or opinions or the taking of any such action contemplated, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made which in the opinion of the appraiser(s) giving the aforesaid opinion or opinions would result in an increase of the Conversion Price to more than the Conversion Price then in effect.
(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Series G Preferred Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of Series G Preferred Stock, not less than 100% of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 6 upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock hereunder. 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.
(e) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series G 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 Series G Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(f) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders of the Series G Preferred Stock hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of the President of the Company at the facsimile telephone number or address of the principal place of business of the Company. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of Series G Preferred Stock 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 5:00 p.m. (New York time), (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 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (iii) four days after deposit in the United States mails, (iv) the Business Day (as defined in Section 7) following the date of mailing, if send by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
(g) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series G Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined herein). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made and the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series G Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of 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 (including, without limitation, the Series G Preferred Stock or any other convertible securities of the Company) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5 applies, the determination of whether the Series G Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and of how many shares of Series G Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series G Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and how many shares of the Series G Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (ii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series G Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series G Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon not less than sixty five (65) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5 applicable to its Series G Preferred Stock and the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-sixth (66th) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of Series G Preferred Stock.
Section 6. Adjustments to Conversion Ratio.
(a) The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i). Spin Off. If, for so long as any shares of Series G Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Company consummates a spin off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction in which the Company, in addition to or in lieu of any other compensation received by the Company for such business, operations or assets, causes securities of another entity to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Spin Off Securities”), then the Company shall cause to be reserved Spin Off Securities (the “Reserved Spin Off Securities”) in the amount equal to the amount that would have been issued to all Holders had all shares of Series G Preferred Stock been outstanding as of the record date (the “Record Date”) of the Spinoff (such outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock, the “Outstanding Preferred Stock”). For determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company, after accounting for the Reserved Spin Off Securities, the Company shall treat all Shares of Series G Preferred Stock as if they had been converted as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date;
(ii). Stock Splits, etc. If, at any time while any shares of Series G Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio and any other amounts calculated as contemplated by this Certificate of Designations shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action. By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing (a) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such split, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal one-half of what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; (b) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal ten times what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; and (c) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal such amount multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares (10 in the example) for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon (11 in the example).
(iii). Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 6, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder of Series G Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder of Series G Preferred Stock, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time and (c) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Series G Preferred Stock.
Section 7. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other government action to close.
“Common Stock” means the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, and stock of any other class into which such shares may hereafter have been reclassified or changed.
“Issuance Date” means the earliest date on which a Holder receives shares of the Series G Preferred Stock, regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Series G Preferred Stock.
“Holder” means a registered holder of a share or shares of Series G Preferred Stock.
“Junior Securities” means the Common Stock and all other equity securities of the Company ranking junior to the Series G Preferred Stock in terms of payment of dividends or liquidation proceeds. The Series G shall rank pari passu with all other designated preferred stock issued by the Company.
“Person” means an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or political subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.

SERIES H 8% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK TERMS
Section 1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. (a) The series of preferred stock shall be designated as the Series H 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares so designated and authorized shall be Five Hundred (500). Each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”).
(b) Transfers. Shares of Series H Preferred Stock may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Holder of such shares with the written consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Section 2. Dividends.
(a) Holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, and the Company shall accrue, quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on the Issuance Date (as defined in Section 7), cumulative dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) equal to eight percent (8%) per annum on the Stated Value, payable in cash or common stock at the option of the Holder, subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g). The Company may pay, at its option, accrued dividends at any time while the Series H Preferred Stock remains outstanding.

Dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, shall accrue daily commencing on the Issuance Date, and shall be deemed to accrue on such date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends. The party that holds the Series H Preferred Stock on an applicable record date for any dividend payment will be entitled to receive such dividend payment and any other accrued and unpaid dividends which accrued prior to such dividend payment date, without regard to any sale or disposition of such Series H Preferred Stock subsequent to the applicable record date but prior to the applicable dividend payment date. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Company pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued on account of the Series H Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series H Preferred Stock based upon the number of shares then held by each Holder in proportion to the total number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding. In order for the Holders to exercise the right to have dividends paid in cash on any Conversion Date (as defined in Section 5), the Holders (as defined in Section 7) must indicate such intention in the Conversion Notice (as defined in Section 5), which notice will remain in effect for subsequent Conversion Notices until rescinded by the Holder in a written notice to such effect that is addressed to the Company.
(b) So long as any shares of Series H Preferred Stock remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any subsidiary thereof shall, without the consent of the Holders of seventy percent (70%) of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Requisite Holders”), redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities (as defined in Section 7), nor shall the Company directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon, nor shall any distribution be made in respect of, any Junior Securities, nor shall any monies be set aside for or applied to the purchase or redemption (through a sinking fund or otherwise) of any Junior Securities.
Section 3. Voting Rights; Negative Covenants. Subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g) below, the Series H Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote, on an as converted basis, on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for a vote, either by written consent or by proxy.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or a Sale (as defined below) (a “Liquidation”), the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series H Preferred Stock an amount equal to the Stated Value plus all accrued but unpaid dividends per share, whether declared or not, and all other amounts in respect thereof then due and payable prior to any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall be distributed among the holders of Series H Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The Company shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than 45 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record Holder of Series H Preferred Stock. A “Sale” shall mean a sale of the majority of assets, a merger (other than where the Company is the surviving entity) or consolidation by the Company with another corporation or other entity.
Section 5. Conversion.
(a) Conversion at Option of Holder. Subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 5(g) below, each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time after the issuance of the Series H Preferred Stock by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Series H Preferred Stock by a conversion ratio equal to $0.0025 (“Conversion Ratio”); A Holder shall effect a conversion by surrendering to the Company the original certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be converted to the Company, together with a completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Conversion Notice”). Each Conversion Notice shall specify the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be converted, 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 (the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Conversion Notice, the Conversion Date shall be the date that the Conversion Notice is delivered pursuant to this Section 5(a).
(b) Not later than five (5) Trading Days after a Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon the conversion of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, (ii) one or more certificates representing the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock not converted, and (iii) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series H Preferred Stock so converted.

(c) If at any time conditions shall arise by reason of action taken by the Company which in the sole opinion of the Board of Directors are not adequately covered by the other provisions hereof and which would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series H Preferred Stock (different than or distinguished from the effect generally on rights of holders of any class of the Company's capital stock) or if at any time any such conditions would be reasonably expected to arise by reason of any action contemplated by the Company, the Company shall mail a written notice briefly describing the action contemplated and the material adverse effects of such action on the rights of the holders of Series H Preferred Stock at least 30 calendar days prior to the effective date of such action, and an appraiser selected by the holders of majority in interest of the Series H Preferred Stock shall give its opinion as to the adjustment, if any (not inconsistent with the standards established in this Section 5), of the Conversion Price (including, if necessary, any adjustment as to the securities into which shares of Series H Preferred Stock may thereafter be convertible) and any distribution which is or would be required to preserve without diluting the rights of the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company, after receipt of the determination by such appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser, in good faith, in which case the adjustment shall be equal to the average of the adjustments recommended by each such appraiser. The Board of Directors shall make the adjustment recommended forthwith upon the receipt of such opinion or opinions or the taking of any such action contemplated, as the case may be; provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made which in the opinion of the appraiser(s) giving the aforesaid opinion or opinions would result in an increase of the Conversion Price to more than the Conversion Price then in effect.
(d) The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Series H Preferred Stock, as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual or contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of Series H Preferred Stock, not less than 100% of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 6 upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock hereunder. 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.
(e) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series H 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 Series H Preferred Stock so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(f) Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders of the Series H Preferred Stock hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the attention of the President of the Company at the facsimile telephone number or address of the principal place of business of the Company. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by facsimile, sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of Series H Preferred Stock 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 5:00 p.m. (New York time), (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 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (iii) four days after deposit in the United States mails, (iv) the Business Day (as defined in Section 7) following the date of mailing, if send by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
(g) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series H Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined herein). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made and the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series H Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of 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 (including, without limitation, the Series H Preferred Stock or any other convertible securities of the Company) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5 applies, the determination of whether the Series H Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and of how many shares of Series H Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series H Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and how many shares of the Series H Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (ii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series H Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series H Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon not less than sixty five (65) days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5 applicable to its Series H Preferred Stock and the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-sixth (66th) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of Series H Preferred Stock.
Section 6. Adjustments to Conversion Ratio.
(a) The Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i). Spin Off. If, for so long as any shares of Series H Preferred Stock remain outstanding the Company consummates a spin off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction in which the Company, in addition to or in lieu of any other compensation received by the Company for such business, operations or assets, causes securities of another entity to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Spin Off Securities”), then the Company shall cause to be reserved Spin Off Securities (the “Reserved Spin Off Securities”) in the amount equal to the amount that would have been issued to all Holders had all shares of Series H Preferred Stock been outstanding as of the record date (the “Record Date”) of the Spinoff (such outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock, the “Outstanding Preferred Stock”). For determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company, after accounting for the Reserved Spin Off Securities, the Company shall treat all Shares of Series H Preferred Stock as if they had been converted as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date;
(ii). Stock Splits, etc. If, at any time while any shares of Series H Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Ratio and any other amounts calculated as contemplated by this Certificate of Designations shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action. By way of illustration, and not in limitation, of the foregoing (a) if the Company effectuates a 2:1 split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such split, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal one-half of what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; (b) if the Company effectuates a 1:10 reverse split of its Common Stock, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such reverse split, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal ten times what it had been calculated to be immediately prior to such split; and (c) if the Company declares a stock dividend of one share of Common Stock for every 10 shares outstanding, thereafter, with respect to any conversion for which the Company issues shares after the record date of such dividend, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to equal such amount multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of shares (10 in the example) for which a dividend share will be issued and the denominator is such number of shares plus the dividend share(s) issuable or issued thereon (11 in the example).
(iii). Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio pursuant to this Section 6, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder of Series H Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder of Series H Preferred Stock, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment or readjustment, (b) the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time and (c) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Series H Preferred Stock.
Section 7. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other government action to close.
“Common Stock” means the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, and stock of any other class into which such shares may hereafter have been reclassified or changed.
“Issuance Date” means the earliest date on which a Holder receives shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Series H Preferred Stock.
“Holder” means a registered holder of a share or shares of Series H Preferred Stock.
“Junior Securities” means the Common Stock and all other equity securities of the Company ranking junior to the Series H Preferred Stock in terms of payment of dividends or liquidation proceeds. The Series H shall rank pari passu with all other designated preferred stock issued by the Company.
“Person” means an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or political subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.

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 65 days prior notice to the Company.
IN WITNES S WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement, the Company and SRPII hereby agree as follows:
1.1 Exchange. On the Closing Date, the Consulting Agreement shall be cancelled and SRPII shall exchange the Surrendered Notes identified on Schedule 1 in return for two hundred forty two (242) shares of Preferred Stock issued by the Company.
1.2 Closing. The “Closing Date” shall be the date that the Preferred Stock and Surrendered Notes are delivered to the respective parties. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Exchange Agreement, on the Closing Date, SRPII shall purchase and the Company shall sell to SRPII the Preferred Stock and AIR.
1.3 Additional Investment Right. (“AIR”) For value received, SRPII is hereby granted the right to voluntarily purchase, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “INITIAL EXERCISE DATE”) and on or prior to the close of business twenty four (24) months after the date hereof (“EXPIRATION DATE”) with respect to up to $750,000.00 of Stated Value of additional shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. SRPII may exercise the purchase right represented by this AIR in whole or in part at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Expiration Date by (i) delivering to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form, and (ii) upon receipt of the purchased Preferred Stock by SRPII, the payment to the Company of the stated value per share (“Purchase Price”) for the Preferred Stock. If exercised in part, SRPII may continue to exercise the balance of this AIR at any time until the earlier of (i) this AIR has been exercised in whole; or (ii) the Expiration Date. Upon payment for the Preferred Stock, SRPII will receive a legal opinion in form reasonably acceptable SRPII and such other representations and certificates reasonably requested by SRPII.
2. SRPII Representations and Warranties. SRPII for itself only, hereby represents and Surrendered Notes to and agrees with the Company that:
(a) Organization and Standing of SRPII. SRPII is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.
(b) Authorization and Power. SRPII has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Exchange Agreement and to purchase the Securities. The execution, delivery and performance of this Exchange Agreement by SRPII and the consummation by SRPII of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of SRPII or its Board of Directors or stockholders, if applicable, is required. This Exchange Agreement has been or will be duly authorized and executed and when delivered by SRPII will constitute valid and binding obligations of SRPII, enforceable against SRPII in accordance with the terms thereof.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Exchange Agreement and the consummation by SRPII of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of SRPII’s charter documents, bylaws or other organizational documents, if applicable, (ii) conflict with nor constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any agreement to which SRPII is a party, nor (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to SRPII or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on SRPII). SRPII is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Exchange Agreement nor to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, SRPII is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.
(d) Information on SRPII. SRPII is, and will be at the time of the conversion of the Preferred Stock an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Commission under the 1933 Act, is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable SRPII to utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. SRPII has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Securities. SRPII is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof. SRPII agrees to provide the Company with such information reasonably required from time to time for the Company to comply with the Company’s regulatory filing requirements.
(e) Compliance with Securities Act. SRPII understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of SRPII contained herein), and that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, SRPII may enter into lawful hedging transactions in the course of hedging the position they assume and SRPII may also enter into lawful short positions or other derivative transactions relating to the Securities, or interests in the Securities, and deliver the Securities, or interests in the Securities, to close out their short or other positions or otherwise settle other transactions, or loan or pledge the Securities, or interests in the Securities, to third parties who in turn may dispose of these Securities. The immediately preceding sentence does not affect, mitigate or impair any of SRPII’s representations, warranties and agreements of this Section 2.
(f) Conversion Shares Legend. The Securities shall bear the following or similar legend:
"THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES."
(g) Restricted Securities. SRPII understands that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act and SRPII will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Securities unless pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or unless an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Exchange Agreement, SRPII may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Securities to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Exchange Agreement. For the purposes of this Exchange Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any person or entity means any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person or entity. Affiliate includes each Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this definition, “control” means the power to direct the management and policies of such person or firm, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
3. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company represents to and agrees with SRPII that:
(a) Due Incorporation. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Exchange Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, prospects, properties or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. For purposes of this Exchange Agreement, “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any entity at any date, any direct or indirect corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, association, joint venture or other business entity of which (A) more than 30% of (i) the outstanding capital stock having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managing body of such entity, (ii) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, the interest in the capital or profits of such partnership or limited liability company or (iii) in the case of a trust, estate, association, joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such trust, estate, association or other entity business is, at the time of determination, owned or controlled directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by such entity, or (B) is under the actual control of the Company.
(b) Authority; Enforceability. This Exchange Agreement and the Preferred Stock and any other agreements delivered or required to be delivered together with or pursuant to this Exchange Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and are valid and binding agreements of the Company and Subsidiaries, as the case may be, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity. The Company and Subsidiaries, as the case may be, have full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform their obligations thereunder.
(c) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates, the OTC Bulletin Board (the “Bulletin Board”) or the Company's shareholders is required for the execution by the Company of the Transaction Documents and compliance and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Securities. The Transaction Documents and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder have been unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority in the world, including without limitation, the United States, or elsewhere is required by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Exchange Agreement, except as would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect or the consummation of any of the other agreements, covenants or commitments of the Company or any Subsidiary contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. Any such qualifications and filings will, in the case of qualifications, be effective on the Closing and will, in the case of filings, be made within the time prescribed by law.
(d) Dilution. The Company's executive officers and directors understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Preferred Stock and the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

Conexus Acquires a Majority Interest in Bitcoin Direct LLC
Operator of Automated Bitcoin Machines (ABMs) for Consumers
(New York, NY) – May 19, 2015 - Conexus Cattle Corp., (OTC: CNXS) announced today the acquisition of a 51% membership interest in Bitcoin Direct LLC, Nevada limited liability company (“Bitcoin” or the “Company”), which provides bitcoin transaction solutions for consumers in what we believe is a rapidly expanding industry, still in its infancy. Bitcoin’s initial focus is aimed at installing and servicing its ABMs (Automated Bitcoin Machines) in multiple locations. The ABMs provide consumers with the ability to instantaneously purchase bitcoins through their mobile devices. Currently, the Company has installations serving the major metropolitan centers of New York City and Montreal. The Company anticipates rapidly expanding its network of Company owned ABMs in the coming months.
In addition to operating its own bitcoin ABMs, the Company also anticipates partnering with local operators to create an integrated bitcoin distribution network in high traffic locations across North America. The Company, through its relationships with leading bitcoin miners, plans to supply bitcoins, as well as provide ABM equipment to these local operators.
Bitcoin plans to offer a full range of bitcoin transaction solutions to a wide variety of industries, including remittance and gaming, among others.
Under the terms of the transaction, Conexus, Bitcoin, and all of the members of Bitcoin, entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which Conexus acquired memberships interests representing 51% of Bitcoin in exchange for 500 shares of the Conexus’s Series H Preferred, with an aggregate stated value equal to $500,000 (the “Exchange Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Conexus agreed to provide a working capital facility to Bitcoin in an amount up to $300,000 to be utilized by Bitcoin as needed, and to be repaid by Bitcoin from working capital generated from Bitcoin’s operations. In addition, the Exchange Agreement provides an option to the members of Bitcoin for a period of five years to repurchase from the Conexus 10% of the Bitcoin membership interests held by Conexus for $250,000. Addition details of the transaction are included in the Conexus’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Conrad Huss, President of Conexus commented: “We are excited to have acquired the majority interest in Bitcoin Direct LLC, along with its experienced management team. Our strategy is to provide sound, profitable, bitcoin transaction solutions to consumers, and to assist a variety of industries as they grow their markets. The Company is ready to help pioneer and promote the consumer adoption of bitcoin through automated solutions across North America.”
