BUSINESS

 

Bitech Mining Corporation History

 

Bitech Mining Corporation (“Bitech”) was founded on January 8, 2021 in the state of Wyoming by Benjamin Tran and Michael Cao. Mr. Tran has been serving as Bitech’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since its inception, devoting his full business time to the operation of the Company which is focused on developing green technology solutions initially focused on the cryptocurrency mining industry and in the future to applications outside of the cryptocurrency mining business. Mr. Cao has been serving as its Board Member, devoting a majority of his time to build the Company based on its core business strategy in the crypto mining community and collaborations with worldwide strategic partners in supporting the commercializing our core technology we call Tesdison, aiming to reduce significant electricity consumption from crypto mining operations.

 

On January 15, 2021, the Company acquired the global exclusive license of Tesdison technology (U.S. patent No. 10,547,179 B2 - High electric Power Generation and Charging System) for the crypto mining vertical market worldwide from licensor Supergreen Energy Corp.

 

On May 3, 2021, the Company started its initial launch of Evirontek, an integrated technology platform of Bitech to provide integrated solutions to the crypto mining industry to include (1) U.S. patented Tesdison technology, and (2) Bitech Intellisys-8, an in-house proprietary system architectural design for crypto miners.

 

On October 25, 2021, the Company executed the amendment from its licensor to upgrade from 4-year exclusivity license to the perpetual exclusive license for the crypto mining vertical market worldwide.

 

In 2021, the Company started the architecture design of Bitech Intellysis-8 and engaged with its Chief Scientific Advisor Calvin Cao who is the inventor of Tesdison technology to lead the technical implementation and commercialization of the Tesdison technology, and hired Robert Brilon to serve Bitech in the capacity of its Chief Financial Officer.

 

On March 31, 2022, the shareholders of Bitech acquired the control of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc., as discussed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report.

Legacy Business

 

The Company continues to actively pursue the collection of previously provided spine injury diagnostic services and Quad continues to operate its business of owning, developing and leasing the Quad Video Halo video recording system (“QVH”) used to record medical procedures. Following completion of the Share Exchange, we plan to evaluate potential strategic alternatives for non-core assets and operations in our legacy business including but not limited to a possible sale of those operations.

 

Bitech Mining Corporation

 

Bitech Mining Corporation (“Bitech”) is a development-stage technology company dedicated to providing a suite of revolutionary electrical power generation technologies we call the “Evirontek Integrated Platform” as discussed below.

 

Overview of Bitech’s Business

 

There is an urgency in the global needs of today’s ever-changing energy landscape in the world of cryptocurrency mining where power saving is the most challenging issue for this business. Bitech’s goal is to change the future of the cryptocurrency mining businesses by providing its patented revolutionary green technology power-saving solution that has been designed to be safe, reliable, cost effective, and easily scalable.

 

We plan to initially market the Evirontek Integrated Platform to the cryptocurrency mining industry to reduce the exorbitant high cost of electricity. The Evirontek Integrated Platform, once fully developed, will be comprised of (1) a patented high efficiency electric power generation and charging system which we license and call the “Tesdison Technology” and (2) a chipset and related software component we plan to develop which we call the “Bitech Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution” or “Intellisys-8”. Combined, we refer to these technologies as the Evirontek Dual Platform.

 

The Tesdison System

 

The Tesdison System is a virtually renewable electric power-generating system configured to provide an efficient means for generating electricity for charging an electrical energy storage source such as batteries as well as provide energy for other uses. Bitech intends to develop a large scale Tesdison System based on the current prototype. The prototype Tesdison System utilizes patented technology that:

 

  Enables the generation of electricity of up to twice the original output,
  Is a modular and scalable electrical storage and power generation device,
  Is capable of distributing a steady stream of 120/220/480 volts of electricity, and
  Can be run in concert with other units to generate a constant, uninterrupted supply of electricity 24 hours per day at any desired voltage.

 

The Tesdison System technology was validated by National Technical Systems, Inc. (“NTS”) on September 17, 2019. Established in 1961, NTS is a global provider of testing, inspection and certification services.

The Bitech Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution (“Intellisys-8”)

 

The planned Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution is a combination of computer chips and other hardware components that will be driven by software that is intended to reduce power consumption and heat in computer systems and accelerate their computational speed. The solution will include a central intelligent controller that controls a power management controller, a climate controller, distributing processing controller and internet interface.

 

Below is a diagram of the Evirontek Dual Platform:

 

 

Revenue Model

 

Bitech’s planned revenue model is a 5-pronged revenue ecosystem including (1) initial set up fees, (2) system building services, (3) cryptocurrency production revenue sharing, (4) mass production sales of smaller scale systems using the Tesdison Technology, and (5) royalty fee from non-cryptocurrency businesses that use the Tesdison Technology.

 

The recurring revenue nature of our planned crypto-production sharing is intended to be our main revenue source, enhanced with other potential revenue streams to strengthen our business longevity. At times, we plan to offer customized power-saving system buildings for data centers and power plants using our licensed Tesdison Technology while providing working capital to support the continued expansion of all five prongs of our planned revenue model. Bitech, while introducing the Tesdison Technology to business partners throughout the world, also expects to benefit from collecting a portion of any revenue derived from various large-scale commercialization projects with partners, using this technology to replace other outdated, ineffective power solutions in data centers.

The following diagram illustrates our planned revenue model:

 

 

 

Marketing Plans

 

Bitech plans to, in conjunction with international business developers, seek cryptocurrency mining partners with large-scale productions to facilitate and initially market the Tesdison Technology solution and implement its planned revenue share business model with cryptocurrency miners of the most popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Once development of the Intellisys-8 has been completed, we intend to integrate this solution with the Tesdison Technology and market this solution as the Evirontek Integrated Platform. Bitech has an exclusive license to use the Tesdison Technology in the cryptocurrency industry. We can also offer the Tesdison Technology pursuant to our license agreement on a non-exclusive basis to any other industry application outside of the cryptocurrency industry to include data centers, solar power plants, natural resource mining, data centers, and many other renewable initiatives.

 

Bitech plans to capture market share in three tiers as depicted in the diagram below. Bitech plans to take a strategic approach by partnering with major players of in the cryptocurrency mining industry to accelerate revenue generation in order to quickly obtain sizable market share executing its revenue sharing model via technology licensing and solution-driven implementations. Bitech has created a market penetration model that accommodates its “green tech” brand recognition with plans for global expansion and balanced revenue lines between three major customer tiers, primarily including (1) cryptocurrency mining market leaders, (2) upcoming cryptocurrency miners, and (3) data centers and power plants.

Core Technology

 

The Evirontek technology integrated platform includes both a renewable energy system solution using Tesdison Technology for power saving and a chipset solution using the Bitech Intellisys-8 architecture we are developing based on its design to reduce power consumption and heat in computer systems and accelerate their computational speed.

 

Bitech will offer the patented Tesdison Technology with its expected cost savings, reliability and scalability solution to clients and client partners via a licensing model with revenue-sharing partnerships. The proprietary Tesdison Technology has been shown to generate up to twice the original energy output and is a modular, scalable storage and power generation solution. Tesdison Technology distributes a steady stream of 120/220/480 VAC output and multiple Tesdison units can be run in concert to generate a constant, uninterrupted supply of electricity 24 hours a day at any desired voltage.

 

Our core technology Tesdison system is a virtually renewable electric power-generating system configured to provide an efficient means for generating electricity for charging an electrical energy storage source such as batteries using the same energy storage source to power an electro-mechanical system for generating electricity. Part of the output of the electro-mechanical system for generating electricity is fed back to the energy storage source to recharge the storage source, as well as provide energy to charge a second energy storage system.

 

Cryptocurrency Mining Industry

 

The global cryptocurrency market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30% from 2019 to 20263.

 

The global cryptocurrency mining market size is projected to reach US$ 2,584.6 million by 2026, from US$ 1,015.9 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 16.8% during 2021-20264.

 

According to The Block Research, bitcoin miners made more than $15 billion in revenue over the course of 2021. The estimate represents a year-over-year increase of 206%. The bitcoin mining revenue peaked in March last year, when miners brought in some $1.75 billion, including $167 million in transaction fees. Throughout the year, bitcoin mining revenue was buoyed by soaring prices for the digital asset, which hit an all-time high in early November 2021. The scenario was no different for Ethereum miners. “Ethereum miners have generated a total of $16.5 billion in revenue, representing a year-on-year increase of 678%, a record revenue year,” says the report5.

 

The United States is now the bitcoin mining capital of the world. It is because China has recently banned all domestic cryptocurrency mining in June 2021 and then outlawed cryptocurrencies completely in September 20216.

 

The green new era has begun entering the cryptocurrency mining world with a technological shift toward green energy solutions. Organizations such as the Bitcoin Mining Council are working to increase transparency in the industry through higher reporting standards. Many crypto-native organizations are also joining the Crypto Climate Accord, committing to achieve net-zero emissions from electricity consumption associated with crypto-related operations by 20307.

The rising tide of bitcoin prices has lifted stock prices for Bitcoin mining company. Although Bitcoin proponents claim that anyone can mine it, the cryptocurrency’s mining ecosystem is dominated by industrial outfits. This is primarily due to the considerable equipment and electric cost associated with the activity8.

 

Renewable/Electricity Industry

 

In its Annual Energy Outlook 2021 (AEO2021), the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that the share of renewables in the United States electricity generation mix will increase from 21% in 2020 to 42% in 20509.

 

According to International Energy Agency Report in October 2020, electricity production is witnessing a profound transformation, with a greater role for smarter grids going hand in hand with increased solar and wind deployment. Electricity grids – transmission and distribution - provide the bedrock of today’s and tomorrow’s power systems, enabling electricity to flow and all sources of flexibility to contribute to electricity security. Grid expansion must accelerate over the next decade to connect all new sources of electricity, including renewables, extending grids by 16 million kilometers, 80% more than over the past decade10.

 

Ernst & Young in its 2021 report stated that a reinvigorated focus on talent and skills is necessary to fully realize the value of technology and propel transformation across the utility value chain11. Electricity demand and emissions are now 5% higher than where they were before the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020, which prompted worldwide lockdowns that led to a temporary drop in global greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity demand also surpassed the growth of renewable energy, the analysis found12.

 

Patent License Agreement

 

On January 15, 2021, Bitech entered into a Patent & Technology Exclusive and Non-Exclusive License Agreement with Supergreen Energy Corp. (“SGE”) which was amended on January 15, 2021 and on March 26, 2022 (collectively, the “License Agreement” or “License”). Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Bitech has a perpetual and globally exclusive license to United States patent no. 10,547,179 B2 granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on January 28, 2020 for a high efficiency electric power generation and charging system (the “Power Generation Patent”) within the cryptocurrency mining industry and a non-exclusive license for all other industries.

 

Bitech issued to SGE 10,000,000 shares of Bitech’s Common Stock and paid it $25,000 in cash as a license fee under the License Agreement.

Intellectual Property—Patents, Trademarks

 

We regularly seek to protect our intellectual property rights in connection with our Tesdison Technology platform. We rely on non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. To the extent we describe or disclose our proprietary technology, we redact or request redaction of such information prior to public disclosure. Despite these measures, we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Effective trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we plan to license our technology to the same extent as in the United States. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could impair our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing our intellectual property rights could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and may not prove successful. Although we intend to protect our rights vigorously, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful.

 

We own the website www.bitech.tech.

 

We license from SGE United States patent no. 10,547,179 B2 granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on January 28, 2020 for a high efficiency electric power generation and charging system (the “Power Generation Patent”) pursuant to the License Agreement. The Power Generation Patent and the License Agreement expires on April 4, 2038 so long as all required filing fees are paid with respect to such patent.

 

Competition

 

The renewable energy market is evolving and highly competitive. With the introduction of new technologies and the potential entry of new competitors into the market, we expect competition to increase in the future, which could harm our business, results of operations, or financial condition once we complete development and commence marketing the Tesdison Technology and the Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution. Electrical power consumption associated with cryptocurrency mining is a significant challenge facing all cryptocurrency miners. We believe that the more energy efficient proprietary Tesdison Technology will enable us to be competitive with other renewable energy providers by achieving a reduction in electrical power consumption that results in costs savings greater than the costs to implement either the Tesdison Technology or the Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution. We expect to face significant competition, which may have an adverse effect on expected revenues.

 

We believe our ability to compete successfully with other renewable energy providers will also depend on a number of factors including implementation costs, safety and cycle life, and on non-technical factors such as brand, established customer relationships and financial and manufacturing resources. Many of the incumbents have, and future entrants may have, greater resources than we have and may also be able to devote greater resources to the development of their current and future technologies. They may also have greater access to larger potential customer bases and have and may continue to establish cooperative or strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties (including OEMs) that may further enhance their resources and offerings.

 

Sources and Availability of Materials

 

As discussed above, we plan to develop a full scale Tesdison Technology based system and since we are not currently producing these systems, we have no current need to obtain the input materials needed to produce them. Once we commence production, we plan to source our input materials from industry leading suppliers of the needed components.

 

Once we commence commercial production of the Evirontek Integrated Platform or any of its component systems, any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs, such as the raw material cost of batteries or computer chips, could, however, materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. We intend to purchase input materials on a purchase order basis from worldwide suppliers at market prices based on our production requirements. Consequently, our management believes that we will have access to a sufficient supply of the key inputs for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we do not anticipate any unique supply constraints that would impede the commercialization of our planned products or systems for the foreseeable future.

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2022, Bitech has two full-time employees and Quad employs one collection consultant and one QVH consultant. To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are either represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Current Report.

 

Overview

 

Bitech Mining Corporation (“Bitech” or the “Company”) is a development-stage technology company dedicated to providing a suite of revolutionary electrical power generation technologies we call the “Evirontek Integrated Platform” as discussed below. Bitech was founded on January 8, 2021 in the state of Wyoming by Benjamin Tran and Michael Cao. Bitech plans to initially market the Evirontek Integrated Platform to the cryptocurrency mining industry to reduce the exorbitant high cost of electricity. The Evirontek Integrated Platform, once fully developed, will be comprised of (1) a patented high efficiency electric power generation and charging system which we license and call the “Tesdison Technology” and (2) a chipset and related software component we plan to develop which we call the “Bitech Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution” or “Intellisys-8”. Combined, we refer to these technologies as the “Evirontek Dual Platform”.

On January 15, 2021, the Company acquired the global exclusive license of Tesdison technology (U.S. patent No. 10,547,179 B2 - High electric Power Generation and Charging System) for the crypto mining vertical market worldwide from licensor Supergreen Energy Corp.

 

On May 3, 2021, the Company started its initial launch of Evirontek, an integrated technology platform of Bitech to provide integrated solutions to the crypto mining industry to include (1) U.S. patented Tesdison technology, and (2) Bitech Intellisys-8, an in-house proprietary system architectural design for crypto miners.

 

On October 25, 2021, the Company executed the amendment from its licensor to upgrade from 4-year exclusivity license to the perpetual exclusive license for the crypto mining vertical market worldwide.

 

In 2021, the Company started the architecture design of Bitech Intellysis-8 and engaged with its Chief Scientific Advisor Calvin Cao who is the inventor of Tesdison technology to lead the technical implementation and commercialization of the Tesdison technology, and hired Robert Brilon to serve Bitech in the capacity of its Chief Financial Officer.

 

On March 31, 2022, the shareholders of Bitech acquired the control of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc., as discussed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF BITECH

 

The following discussion and analysis relates to Bitech’s operations from January 8, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021.

 

Revenue

 

Bitech did not have any revenues during the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021 as the company was engaged in organizational activities and the early stages of development of its “Evirontek Integrated Platform”. While Bitech plans to initially market the Evirontek Integrated Platform to the cryptocurrency mining industry, it cannot predict when it expects to receive revenues from this line of its business. Bitech plans to start the commercialization of the exclusively licensed Tesdison Technology in the cryptocurrency mining sector during fiscal year 2022.

 

Total Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses during the period from January 8, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021 was $284,959 that was comprised of general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with its organizational activities. Bitech expects to incur increased costs in the current fiscal year for legal, accounting and other expenses related to its regulatory compliance obligations associated with being a public company in the United States and increased costs in connection with its plans to develop and commercially exploit the Evirontek Integrated Platform.

 

Working Capital

 

The calculation of Working Capital provides additional information and is not defined under GAAP. We define Working Capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. This information is intended to provide investors with information about Bitech’s liquidity.

 

Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

13
 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF BITECH

 

As of December 31, 2021, Bitech had total current liabilities of $11,106 and current assets of $976,947 comprised of cash and cash equivalents to meet its current obligations. As of December 31, 2021, Bitech had working capital of $965,841.

 

Bitech has a history of operating losses since its inception on January 8, 2021. Bitech has not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. Bitech has funded its operations from equity financing. As of December 31, 2021, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient to fund operations and, in particular, to fund our growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. As a result, we expect to raise additional funds from equity and debt financing transactions in 2021 as discussed below under “Recent Financing Transactions.” The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including operational expenses, develop the Bitech Intellisys-8 Chipset Solution, commence marketing and commercializing the Tesdison Technology and the capital expenditures associated with these initiatives. The sole source of liquidity has been private financing transactions. The ability to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, and to execute on the development and marketing of our planned Evirontek Integrated Platform depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there have not had any meaningful impact or disruptions to our operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 on an ongoing basis.

 

Recent Financing Transactions

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, Bitech issued the following shares of its common stock: 3,301,250 shares for an aggregate of $1,164,500 in cash, 10,106,000 shares in exchange for services and 10,000,000 shares for the License Agreement and 70,000,000 shares to its founders upon formation of the company.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

For the period ended December 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $162,653 comprised of a net loss of $284,959 partially offset by the expense related to common stock issued for consulting services of $111,200 and an increase in accounts payable of $11,106.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

For the period ended December 31, 2021, Bitech paid $25,000 as the cash consideration for the License Agreement.

 

Cash Used in Financing Activities

 

For the period ended December 31, 2021, Bitech received cash proceeds of $1,164,500 from the sale of 3,301,250 shares its common stock.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of the date of this Form 8-K, Bitech does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on its results of operations or financial condition, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Information concerning the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the Bitech Shares is set forth in Item 1.01 and Item 2.01 above and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock was issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder since the Share Exchange did not involve a public offering. The Sellers were sophisticated investors and had access to information normally provided in a prospectus regarding us. In addition, the Sellers were “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Further, the Share Exchange was not 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, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the Sellers had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since they agreed to allow us to include a legend on the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of those shares stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. These restrictions ensure that these shares 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 for the Share Exchange.

 

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant

 

Information concerning the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for the Bitech Shares is set forth in Item 1.01 and Item 2.01 and the ownership of such securities is set forth in the section titled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” above and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

As required to be disclosed by Regulation S-K Item 403(c), there are no arrangements, known to the Company, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company or any of its parents, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, William Donovan, M.D. tendered his resignation as our Chief Executive Officer, John Bergeron tendered his resignation as our Chief Financial and as a member of our Board of Directors, and Jerry Bratton tendered his resignation as a member of our Board of Directors. Dr. Donovan and Messrs. Bergeron and Bratton have advised the Company that their resignations were not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies (including accounting or financial policies) or practices.

 

Effective as of the Closing Date, Benjamin Tran (who is Bitech’s founder and its Chief Executive Officer) was elected as a director of the Company and appointed as its Chief Executive Officer; Robert J. Brilon was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Michael Cao was appointed as a member of our Board of Directors.

On March 30, 2022, the Secretary of State of Delaware acknowledged the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights off Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Delaware Secretary of State creating a series of 9,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to be issued in connection with the Share Exchange. The Certificate of Designations include:

 

  the stated value of each share is $1.00 (the “Stated Value”),
     
  each share has 53.9757 votes per share on any matter, event or action submitted to the holders of our common stock for a vote or on which the holders of our common stock have a right to vote,
     
  each share is automatically convertible into shares of our common stock determined by dividing (i) the Stated Value by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect. Initially, the “Conversion Price” is $0.018526887 per share, subject to adjustment as described below on the first business day immediately following the earlier of (a) the date on which the Secretary of State of Delaware shall have filed the Certificate of Designations; and (b) the date on which FINRA has affected a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, after all required approvals by the Company’s board of directors and its stockholders, in either (a) or (b), so that there are a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized but unissued to permit a full conversion of all the Series A Preferred Stock based upon the Conversion Price,
     
  the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events, and
     
  upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under the Certificate of Designations, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities (as hereinafter defined), and if the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be ratably distributed among each such holder in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.
