Schedule A
Terms of Series C 6% Convertible Preferred Stock
(A) Voting Privileges.
(a) General. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have that number
of votes on all matters submitted to the stockholders that is equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock are then convertible,
as hereinafter provided. Except as otherwise provided herein, and except as otherwise required
by agreement or law, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock shall
vote as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders.
(b) No Cumulative Voting. No holder of shares of capital stock of the Corporation
shall have any cumulative voting rights.
(B) Dividends.
The holders of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in any
fiscal year, when, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend
(payable other than in Common Stock), on the Common Stock of the Corporation (but subject to the
rights of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, if any), dividends in
cash at the rate of $0.60 per share of Series C Preferred Stock per annum (as adjusted for any
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like). Such dividend or distribution
may be payable annually or otherwise as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.
Dividends or distributions (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) may
be paid upon shares of Common Stock in any fiscal year of the Corporation only if dividends
shall have been paid on or declared and set apart for all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock for such year. No further dividends shall be paid to holders of shares
of Series C Preferred Stock in excess of such annual rate in any fiscal year unless at the same
time equivalent dividends are paid to holders of shares of Common Stock; provided that holders
of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall participate pro rata (on an as-if-converted basis)
in any dividends paid on Common Stock, subject to any rights of the Series A Preferred stock and
the Series B Preferred Stock. The right to receive such dividends on shares of Series C Stock
shall be cumulative, but no undeclared or unpaid dividend shall bear or accrue interest.
Dividends on shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be payable only out of funds
legally available therefor.
(C) Other Terms of the Preferred Stock.
(a) Liquidation Preference.
(i) In the event of an involuntary or voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation at any time, subject to the rights of the holders of the Series A
Preferred
Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation an amount equal to the sum of $10.00
per share (appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
consolidations and similar changes hereafter effected), respectively, plus unpaid dividends
thereon, if any (the “Liquidation Preference”). In the event of either an involuntary or a
voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, payment of the Liquidation
Preference to the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be made prior and in
preference to any payment or other distribution of assets to the holders of the Common Stock or
any other class of shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock with
respect to payment upon dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation.
(ii) Upon completion of the distribution required by subsection (a)(i) of this
Article (C), the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall participate in the distribution
of all of the remaining assets of this Corporation available for distribution to stockholders as
if such shares of Series C Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock at the
conversion rate then in effect.
(iii) For purposes of this Section, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (unless the holders of at least
sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a single
class on an as-converted basis and not as separate series, shall determine otherwise), (A) the
acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of
related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or
consolidation) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
voting power of the Corporation; or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation. If the holders of Preferred Stock fail to give the Corporation notice of their
determination that such transactions shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation two (2) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction, the
provisions of subparagraph (b)(7) below hereof shall apply. The Corporation shall give each
holder of record of Series C Preferred Stock written notice of such impending transaction not
later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting of the Corporation called to
approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction,
whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of
such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of
the transaction and of this subparagraph (a) (including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, a description of the value of the consideration, if any, being offered to the holders
of the Series C Preferred Stock in the transaction and the amount to which such holders would be
entitled if such transaction were (as described above) to be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), and the Corporation shall thereafter give such
holders prompt notice of any material changes to such terms and conditions. The transaction
shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20)
days after the mailing by the Corporation of the first notice provided for herein or sooner
than ten (10) days after the mailing by the Corporation of any notice of material changes
provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be reduced upon
the written consent of the holders of sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Series C Preferred Stock.
(iv) In any of such events, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other than
cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as
follows:
A. Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free
marketability covered by (B) below:
(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market, the value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or
system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending
three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof,
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
B. The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions
on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s
status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the
market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market
value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of at least a majority
of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock.
(v) In the event the requirements of this subsection 4(C)(a) are not complied with,
this Corporation shall forthwith either:
A. cause such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2
have been complied with; or
B. cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights,
preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred
to in subsection E(a)(iii) hereof.
(vi) Nothing hereinabove set forth shall affect in any way the right of each holder of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock to convert such shares at any time and from time to time in
accordance with subparagraph (b) below.
(b) Conversion Right. At the option of the holders thereof, each share of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the office of the Corporation (or at such other office
or offices, if any, as the Board of Directors may designate), into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of
Common Stock of the Corporation as is determined by dividing, $10.00 (the “Original Issue
Price”) by the Conversion Price applicable to such share determined as hereafter provided in
effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price
per share for shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be $0.3333 per share of Common Stock;
provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Stock shall be subject
to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The following provisions shall govern such right of
conversion:
(i) In order to convert shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock of
the Corporation, the holder thereof shall surrender at any office hereinabove mentioned the
certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed to the Corporation or in blank, and give
written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert such shares.
Shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of the surrender of such shares for conversion as herein
provided, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such
shares of Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion
date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered at such office
a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
issuable upon such conversion.
(ii) Excluding (a) options to purchase shares of Common Stock and the issuance of awards
of Common Stock granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Corporation pursuant to
key employee and consultant benefit plans adopted by the Corporation and except for shares of
Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such options granted pursuant to such plans, (b)
issuances of shares of Common Stock or warrants for the purchase of shares of Common Stock
approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation in connection with equipment lease or bank
financing transactions, (c) issuances of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock, shares of the Series B Preferred Stock or shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock, (d) issuances of shares in connection with a firm commitment underwritten
public offering, (e) dividends or distributions on Preferred Stock and (g) issuances of shares
in connection with business combinations or corporate partnering agreements approved by the
Corporation’s Board of Directors, if on or before June 30, 2006 the Corporation shall issue or
sell (in one or more transactions, whether or not related), shares of its Common Stock (or
Convertible Securities, rights options of warrants convertible into or exercisable for shares of
its Common Stock (except such as are excluded pursuant to the
provisos of the following Subparagraph (a))) resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the
Corporation of $1,000,000 or more, for an average consideration per share less than the Initial
Conversion Price per share, as adjusted pursuant to Subparagraphs (E)(b)(3) and (E)(b)(4), then
the Conversion Price of the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be reduced to the average Price per
Share of all shares of Common Stock so sold. The Average Price per Share shall mean the Total
Consideration Received for such Shares, divided by the Total Consideration received for such
shares (each determined in accordance with the further provisions of this Subparagraph
(C)(b)(ii), calculated to the nearest cent, as follows:.
(a) In the case of the grant (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise)
of any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, (i) Common
Stock or (ii) any obligations or any shares of stock of the Corporation which are convertible
into, or exchangeable for, Common Stock (any of such obligations or shares of stock being
hereinafter called “Convertible Securities”) whether or not such rights or options or the right
to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, (x) the
“Number of Shares” of Common Stock that are issued by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or
options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities and (y) the “Total
Consideration Received” for such Common Stock shall be deemed to be (i) the total amount, if
any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such rights
or options, plus (ii) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, (iii) in the case of such rights
or options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities..
(b) In the case of the issuance or sale by the Corporation (whether directly or by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) of any Convertible Securities (other than any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities made upon exercise of any rights to subscribe for or to
purchase or any option to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the
Conversion Price have been or are to be made pursuant the preceding subparagraph (i), whether or
not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, the “Number of
Shares” of Common Stock that shall be deemed to have been issued by the Corporation shall be the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities and the Total Consideration Received for the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion or exchange shall be the total amount received or receivable by the
Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon
the conversion or exchange thereof
(c) In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any rights or
options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for
cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount
received by the Corporation therefor, without deducting therefrom any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in
connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any
rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or
sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash
received by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, , without deducting
therefrom any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions paid
or allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase such Common Stock or Convertible
Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the
Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed
to be the fair value as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation of such portion
of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation or corporations as such Board shall
determine to be attributable to such Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or options, as
the case may be. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation in which the
Corporation is not the surviving corporation or in the event of any sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation for stock or other securities of any other corporation, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or
securities of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which
the transaction was predicated and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the
date of such transaction of such stock or securities of the other corporation, and if any such
calculation results in adjustment of the Conversion Price, the determination of the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion immediately prior to such merger, conversion or
sale, for purposes of subparagraph (7) below, shall be made after giving effect to such
adjustment of the Conversion Price.
(d) In case the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock
for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, or in any rights or options to purchase any Common
Stock or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or
Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of
such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such
rights of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this subparagraph
(b).
(3) In case the Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend upon the Common Stock payable in
Common Stock (other than a dividend declared to effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, as described in subparagraph (5) below) or
Convertible Securities, or in any rights or options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, or (ii) declare any other dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common
Stock payable otherwise than out of earnings or earned surplus, then thereafter each holder of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock upon the conversion thereof will be entitled
to receive the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, as the case
may be, have been converted, and, in addition and without payment therefor, each dividend
described in clause (i) above and each dividend or distribution described in clause (ii) above
which such holder would have received by way of dividends or distributions if continuously since
such holder became the record holder of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may
be, such holder (i) had been the record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then
received, and (ii) had retained all dividends or distributions in stock or securities (including
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, and any rights or options to purchase any Common Stock
or Convertible Securities) payable in respect of such Common Stock or in respect of any stock or
securities paid as dividends or distributions and originating directly or indirectly from such
Common Stock, other than such dividends and distributions which had previously been paid in
respect of the Series C Preferred Stock and received by such holder. For the purposes of the
foregoing a dividend or distribution other than in cash shall be considered payable out of
earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are charged
an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend or distribution as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.
(4) In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
(5) If (i) the purchase price provided for in any right or option referred to in clause (i) of
subparagraph (2), or (ii) the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) of subparagraph (3),
or (iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii)
of subparagraph (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall change at any
time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution), the
Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased or decreased to such
Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such
rights, options or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of (a) the issuance of the
number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually delivered upon the exercise of such
options or rights or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the
total consideration received therefor, and (b) the issuance at the time of such change of any
such options, rights, or Convertible Securities then still outstanding for the consideration, if
any, received by the Corporation therefor and to be received on the basis of such changed price;
and on the expiration of any such option or right or the termination of
any such right to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Price then in
effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to such Conversion Price as would have obtained
had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities
been made upon the basis of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock theretofore actually
delivered (and the total consideration received therefor)
upon the exercise of such rights or
options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. If the purchase
price provided for in any right or option referred to in clause (i) of subparagraph (2), or the
rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) of
subparagraph (2) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall decrease at any
time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution,
then in case of the delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such right or option or
upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Conversion Price then in
effect hereunder shall forthwith be decreased to such Conversion Price as would have obtained
had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such right, option or Convertible Security been
made upon the basis of the issuance of (and the total consideration received for) the shares of
Common Stock delivered as aforesaid.
(6) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the
Corporation, or consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation, or the sale
of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be effected in such a way
that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, and subject to subparagraph (a) above, lawful
and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall
thereafter have the right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
herein and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation immediately theretofore
receivable upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or
assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding
shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore
receivable upon the conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, had such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, plus all
dividends unpaid and accumulated or accrued thereon to the date of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, and in any such case appropriate provision
shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock and to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for
adjustments of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares receivable upon the conversion
of Series C Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to
any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter receivable upon the conversion of Series C
Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale,
unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the
Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the registered holders of
Series C Preferred Stock, at the last addresses of such holders appearing on the books of the
Corporation, the obligation to deliver to such holders such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such
holders may be entitled to receive.
(7) Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, then and in each case the Corporation shall
give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered
holders of Series C Preferred Stock, at the addresses of such holders as
shown on the books of
the Corporation, which notice shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment
and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares receivable at such price upon the
conversion of Series C Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of
calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
(8) In case at any time:
(i) the Corporation shall declare any cash dividend on its Common Stock at a rate in excess
of the rate of the last cash dividend theretofore paid;
(ii) the Corporation shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon its Common Stock or make
any distribution (other than regular cash dividends) to the holders of its Common Stock;
(iii) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common
Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(iv) there shall be any capital reorganization, or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Corporation, or consolidation or merger of the Corporation with, or sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or
(v) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give written notice, by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holders of Series C Preferred
Stock at the addresses of such holders as shown on the books of the Corporation, of the date on
which (a) the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, or (b) such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place, as the
case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of
record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be
entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding up, as the case may be. Such written notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to
the action in question and not less than 20 days prior to the record date or the date on which
the Corporation’s transfer books are closed in respect thereto.
(9) If any event occurs as to which in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation the other provisions of this paragraph (b) are not strictly applicable or if
strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board
of Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with
such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as aforesaid.
(10) As used in this paragraph (b) the term “Common Stock” shall mean and include the
Corporation’s presently authorized Common Stock and shall also include any capital stock of any
class of the Corporation hereafter authorized which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or
percentage in respect of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the
distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation; provided that the shares receivable pursuant to conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock and shares of Series C Preferred
Stock shall include shares designated as Common Stock of the Corporation as of the date of
issuance of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Series B Preferred Stock or
shares of Series C Preferred Stock , or, in case of any reclassification of the outstanding
shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets provided for in subparagraph (7) above.
(11) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion, but, instead
of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable, the Corporation shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market
price per share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day of conversion. “Market
price” shall mean if the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or on the Nasdaq
National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the closing price of the Common Stock on such
exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or, if the Common Stock is
otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing bid price, in each case averaged
over a period of 20 consecutive business days prior to the date as of which “market price” is
being determined. If at any time the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter
market, the “market price” shall be deemed to be the higher of (i) the book value thereof as
determined by any firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation as of the last day of any month ending within 60 days
preceding the date as of which the determination is to be made, or (ii) the fair value thereof
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of a date which is
within 15 days of the date as of which the determination is to be made.
(c) Mandatory Conversion. The Series C Preferred shall automatically be converted
into shares of Common Stock of the Corporation immediately upon the earlier of (i) the close of
business on the date specified by written consent or agreement of sixty-seven percent (67%) of
the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a single class on an as-converted basis,
or (ii) the closing of the Corporation’s sale of its Common Stock in a public offering
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form SB-2 (or any then current forms similar
thereto) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which the aggregate public offering
price of the securities sold for cash by the Corporation in the offering, before deduction of
underwriters’ commissions and expenses, is at least $10,000,000. As used herein, the term
“closing” shall mean the delivery by the Corporation to the underwriters of certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation offered to the public against
delivery to the Corporation by such underwriters of payment therefor.
D. Option to Redeem.
(a) At any time on or after July 1, 2007, the Company may state its intention to redeem any
or all of the Series C Preferred Stock for a cash price equal to $10.00 plus all accrued plus
unpaid dividends, by providing an irrevocable, written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to the
Holder. The Redemption Notice shall state that the Company seeks to redeem all or a portion of
the Series C Preferred Stock held by such Holder, specifying the number of shares to be

(30) days after the date of such Redemption Notice

§2.01. General. When and as declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and to
the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation
will pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Preferred Stock as provided in this §2.
§2.02. Series A Preferred Stock.
(a) Dividends on each outstanding share of Series A. Preferred Stock (whether payable in cash
or in stock) will accrue cumulatively on a daily basis during each fiscal quarter of the
Corporation at the rate of 3% per annum on the Liquidation Value thereof, and will be payable on
the last day of each fiscal quarter (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”). All
dividends payable pursuant to this §2.02 shall be paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred
Stock having an aggregate Liquidation Value equal to the aggregate amount of such accrued and
unpaid dividends (a “PIK Dividend”) on the last business day of each fiscal quarter. All shares of
Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to a PIK dividend will hereupon be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Each such PIK Dividend shall be made pro rata with
respect to the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective
dividends then due and payable thereon. Dividends with respect to such additional shares of Series
A Preferred Stock issued as s PIK Dividend shall accrue at the rates and on the other terms set

with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to a PIK Dividend made
pursuant to §2.02 (a) above, the first day of the fiscal quarter following the applicable Dividend
Payment Date shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times
transfer of such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and
regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such share. Without the
prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, no dividends or other distributions will be paid, declared or set apart with
respect to the Series B. Preferred Stock or Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock unless
all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been paid.
(c) If at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, such payment will be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder.
§3. Voting Rights of Holders of Preferred Stock.
§3.01. Series A Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise provided by law or as set forth
in §7 below, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on any matter
submitted to shareholders of the Corporation for vote, consent or approval.
§3.02 Series B Preferred Stock. Each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to vote on all matters voted on by shareholders of the Corporation and shall have that
number of votes equal to the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares
of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted pursuant to §6 hereof,
determined (a) as of the record date fixed for determining shareholders entitled to vote or (b) if
no record date is fixed, as of the date such vote is taken or written consent therefore is
solicited by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 3,
or required by law, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote with holders of Common Stock
as one class.
§4. Liquidation Rights of Preferred Stock.
§4.01. Liquidation Preference of Holders of Preferred Stock.
(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation (each such event being hereafter referred to as a “Liquidation”), the holders of Class
A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the Distributable Assets, before any payments
shall be made to the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock or the Junior Stock, an amount in cash
equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued but unpaid dividends) of all shares of
Class A Preferred Stock outstanding, and the holders of Class A Preferred Stock will not be
entitled to any further payment. If, upon any Liquidation, the Corporation’s Distributable Assets
are insufficient to permit payment to the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock of the full amount
to which they are entitled hereunder, then the entire Distributable Assets to be distributed will
be distributed ratably among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends of the Class A Preferred Stock held by each such holder. The
Corporation will mail written notice of any Liquidation not less than 30 days prior to the payment
date stated therein to each record holder of Class A Preferred Stock. The consolidation or merger
of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or corporations, the sale or transfer by the
Corporation of all or any substantial part of its assets, and the sale of at least a majority of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation will be deemed to be a Liquidation
for purposes of this §4.01.
(b) After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Class
A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation
on a parity with the Class A Preferred Stock, the holders of Class B Preferred Stock will be
entitled to be paid out of the Distributable Assets, before any payment shall be made to the
holders of Junior Stock, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends) of all shares of Class B Preferred
Stock outstanding, and the holders of Class B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further
payment. If, upon any Liquidation, the Corporation’s Distributable Assets are insufficient to
permit payment to the holders of the Class B Preferred Stock of the full amount to which they
are
entitled hereunder, then the entire assets to be distributed will be distributed ratably among such
holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued but unpaid dividends) of the
Class B Preferred Stock held by each such holder. The Corporation will main written notice of any
Liquidation not less than 30 days prior to the payment date stated therein to each record holder of
Class B Preferred Stock.
§4.02. Non-Preferential Distributions. After the payment of (i) all preferential
amounts required to be paid to the holders of Class B Preferred Stock and any other class or series
of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Class B Preferred Stock and
(ii) all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Class A Preferred Stock and any
other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Class A Preferred
Stock, the holders of Junior Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive the remaining
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.
§4.03. Merger and Sale Treated as Liquidation. For all purposes of this §4, each of
(i) the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or
corporations or the merger or consolidation of any other corporation or corporations with or into
the Corporation, except for the merger into the Corporation of any wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, and (ii) the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the property and assets of the Corporation or of any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Corporation
(if the assets of such subsidiary or subsidiaries represent 50% or more in value of the aggregate
assets of the Corporation and all its subsidiaries), or the sale of a majority of the shares of
voting common stock of any such subsidiary or subsidiaries, shall be deemed to be a liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this §4.
§5. Redemption of Series A. Preferred Stock.
5.01. Redemption at Option of Corporation. The Corporation may at any time redeem all
or any portion of the Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price per share equal to the
Liquidation Value thereof. The Corporation will mail written notice of a redemption pursuant to
this §5.01 to each record holder of Class A Preferred Stock not more than 60 nor less than 30 days
prior to the date on which such redemption is to occur. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions
pursuant to this §5.01 will be the number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock determined by
multiplying the total number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock to be redeemed by a fraction, the
numerator of which will be the total number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock then held by the
holder and the denominator of which will be the total number of shares of Class A Preferred Stock
then outstanding.
§5.02. Redemption at Option of Holders. By written notice to the Corporation (a
“Redemption Notice”), a Special Majority of Series A Preferred Holders (as defined in §7.02(c)) may
elect to require the Corporation to redeem, at any time or from time to time on or after
November ___, 2007 and at the Liquidation Value all of the then outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (subject to the right of any holder to decline participation in such redemption) or
such portion thereof as may be specified in the related Redemption Notice. The Corporation will
promptly give to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of its receipt of
any Redemption Notice and offer to them the options (i) to decline to participate in the proposed
redemption or (ii), if their shares have not been included in the related Redemption Notice, the
right to participate therein. Any holder who desires to exercise either such option shall have
twenty (20) days to give written notice to the Corporation of such holder’s election to do so.
Upon receipt of a Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall, from funds legally available therefor,
effect the redemption in full of the required number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at the
Liquidation Value thereof, on such date (a “Redemption Date”) on or after November 30, 2007 which
is not more than ninety (90) days after the date of such Redemption Notice as the Corporation may
specify by notice to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock.
§5.03. Allocation of Redemption Payments Among Holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
(a) Allocation. If, on any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall be legally
prohibited from paying the Liquidation Value for each of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
which the Corporation shall have become obligated to redeem on such Redemption Date, then each
holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall have the
right to have redeemed by the Corporation, on such Redemption Date, the largest whole number of
shares of Series A Preferred stock which may be redeemed at the applicable Liquidation Value by
payment by the Corporation to such holder of an amount equal to the product of (a) the Available
Redemption Amount, multiplied by (b) the Allocation Fraction determined as at the relevant
Redemption Date for all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held of record by such holder which the
Corporation was (but for the provisions of this §5.03) obligated to redeem on such Redemption Date.
(b) Definitions. As used in this §5.03, the following terms shall have the meanings
assigned to them below:
(i) “Allocation Fraction” shall mean, in relation to any particular holder of shares of
Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any Redemption Date, a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall
be equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder on the relevant Redemption
Date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the aggregate number of all shares of
Preferred Stock to be redeemed (prior to effecting any allocation pursuant to §5.03 (a)) on such
Redemption Date.
(ii) “Available Redemption Amount” shall mean, in relation to any Redemption Date, all
property and assets of the Corporation legally available for the redemption of shares of Preferred
Stock by the Corporation on such Redemption Date, calculated as though all subsidiaries of the
Corporation had been liquidated and their assets distributed to the Corporation.
§5.04. Miscellaneous Provisions Applicable to Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock.
(a) Reduction of Capital. The Corporation shall, to the extent necessary to effect
each and every redemption of shares of Preferred Stock required pursuant to §5.01 or §5.02 hereof,
apply to each such redemption or redemptions such amount or amounts out of its
capital as may then
be permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, and shall all action, with respect to reduction
of its capital or otherwise, required by the laws of the State of Delaware.
(b) Surrender of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock. On each Redemption Date, each
holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall surrender
such holder’s certificates for such shares to the Corporation in the manner and at the place
designated by the Corporation (or if the Corporation shall not have made any such designations, at
the chief executive offices of the Corporation) and shall thereupon be entitled to receive the
applicable Liquidation Value for such shares. In case less than all of the shares represented by
any such surrendered certificates are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued by the
Corporation representing the unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(c) Termination of Rights. If, on any applicable Redemption Date, the applicable
Liquidation Value is either paid and delivered by the Corporation to the holder of any Series A
Preferred Stock or made available by the Corporation for payment and delivery to such holder, but
such holder fails to surrender its certificates or accept such payment and delivery, then,
notwithstanding that the stock certificates representing any of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed shall have not been surrendered, the dividends with respect to such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after the applicable Redemption Date and all rights
with respect to such shares shall forthwith, after the applicable Redemption Date, cease and
terminate, except only the right to receive the applicable Liquidation Value without interest (but
with any dividends comprising part of the Liquidation Value) upon surrender of their certificates
therefore.
§5.05. Failure of Corporation to Redeem Series A Preferred Stock. If, on any
Redemption Date, the Corporation shall fail or be unable, by reason of lack of funds legally
available for such purpose or otherwise, to redeem all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
required to be redeemed on such date, then the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have the rights (a) to elect by written consent
or at any meeting called for such purpose a number of directors of the Corporation such that the
directors elected pursuant to this §5.05 shall constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation immediately following such election and (b) to effect any amendment to the
Corporation’s by-laws (or resolution of the Corporation’s Board of Directors) necessary for such
purpose.
§6. Conversion. The holders of Preferred Stock shall have the conversion rights set
forth in the following provisions of this §6.
§6.01. Right to Convert. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible,
at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the
office
of the Corporation or any transfer agent for Preferred Stock or Common Stock, into fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Ratio for such share of Series B Preferred
Stock in effect at the time of conversion determined as provided in this §6. Each share of Series
B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
quotient (herein called the “Conversion Ratio”) determined by dividing (a) the Initial
Conversion
Price (as defined in §6.02 hereof) for such share of Series B Preferred Stock, by (b) the
Conversion Price for such share of Series B Preferred Stock in effect at the time of conversion.
§6.02 Conversion Price. As used in this §6, (a) the term “Conversion Price” shall
mean, in relation to any share of Series B Preferred Stock at any time, the Initial Conversion
Price for such share at such time as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this
§6; and (b) the term “Initial Conversion Price” shall mean, in relation to each share of Series B.
Preferred Stock, $0.10.
§6.03. Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) Exchange of Share Certificates. Before any holder of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to convert such Series B. Preferred Stock into Common Stock, such holder shall
surrender the stock certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed, at the office of the
Corporation or of any transfer agent for Preferred Stock or Common Stock, accompanied by a written
notice of its election to convert the same and of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
to be so converted. Upon receipt of such stock certificates and notice, the Corporation shall
forthwith issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock a stock
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which it shall be entitled
pursuant to §6.01 and §6.02 hereof. The Corporation will also, upon such conversion and the issue
and delivery of such stock certificate or certificates representing Common Stock, pay in shares of
Common Stock (valued at the Common Stock’s fair market value at the time of conversion, as
determined on a reasonable basis and in good faith by the Board of Directors) all accrued and
unpaid dividends computed to the effective date of conversion on the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock so converted.
(b) Effective Date of Conversion. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business of the Corporation on the date of the surrender to the
Corporation of the shares of Series B Preferred Sock to be converted, and the person or persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
§6.04. Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall, at any
time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for any share of Series B Preferred Stock,
effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for such share
of Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately decreased by multiplying (i) such Conversion Price, by (ii) a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision; and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately after such subdivision.
If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for any
share of Series B Preferred Stock, effect any combination of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price for such share of Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior
to such combination shall be proportionately increased by multiplying (iii) such Conversion Price,
by (iv) a fraction:
(c) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to such combination; and
(d) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately after such combination.
Any adjustment under this §6.04 shall become effective at the close of business on the date on
which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
§6.05. Adjustment for Certain Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. In the event the
Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for any share of
Series B Preferred Stock, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of
holders of Junior Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of
Common Stock, then, and in each such event, the Conversion Price for such share of Series B
Preferred Stock then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event
such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by
multiplying (i) the Conversion Price for such share of Series B Preferred Stock then in effect, by
(ii) a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date; and
(b) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date, plus (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
payment of such dividend or distribution;
provided, however, that if such a record date shall have been fixed and such
dividend is not fully paid, or such distribution is not fully made, on the date fixed therefore,
then the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such
record date. In the event that any holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock elects to convert
any of such shares into Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this §6 after any record date
for determining holders
of Junior Stock entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common
Stock but prior to the date on which such dividend is paid, the Corporation may defer, until such
dividend is paid, the issue to such holder of all of the additional shares of Common Stock but
prior to the date on which such dividend is paid, the Corporation may defer, until such dividend is
paid, the issue to such holder of all of the additional shares of Common Stock issuable to such
holder upon such conversion solely by reason of the adjustment made to the Conversion Price of each
such share of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this §6.05 on the
record date for such dividend;
provided further, however, that the Corporation shall, promptly upon the
request of such holder, issue to such holder a written certificate or other instrument evidencing
such holder’s right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock.
§6.06. Adjustment for Dividends and Distributions Payable in Other Securities. In the
event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for any
share of Series B Preferred Stock, make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of
holders of shares of Junior Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in
securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each such event,
provision shall be made by the Corporation so that the holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall receive, upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation which such holders would have
received had their shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date
of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and
including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such
period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this §6 hereof
with respect to the rights of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
§6.07. Adjustment for Reclassification; Exchange and Substitution. If the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be changed
into the same or any different number of shares of any class or any series of any class of capital
stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision
or combination of shares or a stock dividend provided for above, or a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets provided for in §6.08 hereof), then, and in each such event, the
holder of shares of Series P Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such sales
of Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by holders of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock might have been
converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to
further adjustment as provided for in this §6.
§6.08. Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If, at any time
or from time to time, there shall be a capital reorganization of Junior Stock (other than a
subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in the §6),
or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or the sale of
all or substantially all of the Corporation’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a
part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made by the
Corporation so that the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled
to receive, upon conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the number of shares
of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation
resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock would have been entitled on
such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this §6.08 with respect to the
rights of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this §6 (including adjustment of the
Conversion Price then in effect for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of
shares issuable upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after
that event in a manner as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
§6.09. Sale of Shares Below Conversion Price.
(a) Reduction of Conversion Price. If (and on each occasion that) the
Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for any share or
Series B Preferred Stock, issue or sell or (as provided by this §6.09) be deemed to issue or sell
Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in §6.09(g)), other than as a dividend or other
distribution on any class of stock or upon a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock,
for a consideration per share less than the then existing Conversion Price for such share of Series
B Preferred Stock or (as the case may be) for no consideration, then (and in each such case) the
then existing Conversion price for each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of
the opening of business on the date of such issuance or sale, to a new Conversion Price which shall
be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock,
plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock may then be converted plus (C) the number
of shares of Common Stock which the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the
total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, would purchase at the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock may then be converted plus (C) the number
of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.
(b) Determination of Consideration for Securities. For the purpose of making
any adjustment in the Conversion Price for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the
consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any issue or sale of
securities shall:
(i) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed as the net amount of cash
received by the Corporation after deduction of any expenses payable by the
Corporation and also after deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions,
compensations or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue
or sale:
(ii) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the
fair market value of that property as determined in good faith and on a reasonable basis by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and
(iii) if Convertible Securities (as defined in §6.09 (c) hereof) or
rights, options or warrants to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold, the consideration therein shall, to the extent
applicable, be determined under §§6.09(c) through 6.09(f) hereof.
(c) Common Stock Options and Warrants; Convertible Securities. For the
purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price for any share of Series B Preferred Stock,
as provided in §6.09(a), if, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
for such share of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue any rights, options or
warrants for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for,
Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being
hereinafter referred to as “Convertible Securities”), then, in each case, if the Effective Price
(as hereinafter defined) of such rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities shall be less
than the then existing Conversion Price for any shares of Series B Preferred stock, the Corporation
shall be deemed (i) to have issued, at the time of the issuance of such rights, options
warrants or Convertible Securities, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, and (ii) to have received as
consideration for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock an amount equal to the sum
of (A) total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the corporation for the
issuance of such rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities, plus (B) in
the case of such rights, options or warrants, the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable
to the Corporation upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, or, in the case of
Convertible Securities, the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (other than by cancellation of
liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities). As used in this paragraph
(c), the term “Effective Price” shall mean the quotient determined by dividing (X)
the total of all of such consideration determined as provided by clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence of this paragraph (c), by (Y) such maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock determined as provided by clause (i) of the preceding sentence of
this paragraph (c). No further adjustment of the Conversion Price for any share of Series
B Preferred Stock adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or Convertible
Securities shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock on
the exercise of any such rights, options warrants or the conversion or exchange of any such
Convertible Securities.
(d) Expiration of Common Stock Options, Warrants and Conversion Rights. If
any of the rights, options or warrants referred to in §6.09(c) or the conversion or
exchange privilege represented by any Convertible Securities shall expire without having been
exercised, the Conversion Price for any share of Series B Preferred Stock adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights, options, warrants or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to
the Conversion Price which would have been in effect for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock
had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common stock deemed
issued pursuant to §6.09(c) were the Additional Shares of Common stock. If any, actually
issued, sold or transferred on the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or rights of
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock,
if any, were issued or sold for an amount equal to the sum of (i) the consideration
actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise (other than by cancellation of liabilities
or
obligations evidenced by any such Convertible securities), plus (ii) in the case
of such rights, options or warrants, the consideration, if any, actually received by the
Corporation for the granting of all such rights, options or warrants, whether or not exercised, or,
in the case of such Convertible Securities, the consideration received for issuing or selling the
Convertible Securities actually converted or exchanged.
(e) Options and Warrants to Purchase Convertible Securities. For the purpose of
making any adjustment to the Conversion Price for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, as
provided in §6.09(a), if, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue any rights, options or
warrants for the purchase of Convertible Securities, then, in each case, in the Effective Price
thereof (as hereinafter defined) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect for such shares
of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall be deemed (i) to have issued at the time
of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of Convertible Securities
converted by such rights, options or warrants, and (ii) to have received as consideration
for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock an amount equal to the sum of
(A) the amount of consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of
such rights, options or warrants, plus (B) the minimum amounts of consideration, if
any, payable to the corporation upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, plus
(C) the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation (other than by
cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. As used in this §6.09(c), the term
“Effective Price” shall mean the quotient determined by dividing (X) the total amount of
such consideration determined as provided by clause (ii) of the preceding sentence of this
paragraph (e). No further adjustment of the Conversion Price for any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants shall be made as a
result of the actual issuance of the Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such rights,
options or warrants or upon the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(f) Expiration of Options and Warrants to Purchase Convertible Securities. The
provisions of §6.09(d) for the readjustment of the Conversion Price for any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock upon the expiration of rights, options or warrants or the rights of
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities shall apply mutatis mutandis to
the rights, options or warrants for the purchase of Convertible Securities referred to in
§6.09(e).
(g) Additional Shares of Common Stock. As used in this §6.09, the term
“Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued or deemed (as
provided by the terms and provisions of this §6.09) to be issued by the Corporation after the
Original Issue Date for any share of Series B Preferred Stock, whether or not subsequently
reacquired or retired by the Corporation, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
(i) upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or (ii) upon exercise of
any warrant issued prior to or contemporaneously with the initial issue and sale by the Corporation
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (iii) pursuant to any stock options granted by the
Corporation’s Board of Directors to any employee or consultant of the Corporation, provided
that the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock subject to and issued pursuant to such stock
options, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, shall not exceed
650,000, computed cumulatively from the initial Original Issue Date and including any options
outstanding on such Original Issue Date but exclusive of shares subject to options which have
expired tor been terminated without exercise and subject to proportionate adjustment in the case of
any stock split of, stock dividend on, or reclassification or similar event involving the Common
Stock.
§6.10. Certificate of Chief Financial Officer. In each case of an adjustment of
readjustment of the Conversion Price for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or an adjustment or
readjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion
or exchange of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall cause the chief financial
officer of the Corporation to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the
Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to prepare a certificate showing such
adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid,
to each record holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as shown in the
Corporation’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in
detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of::
(i) the consideration received or deemed received for any Additional Shares of Common stock
issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold; (ii) the Conversion Price or
Conversion Prices at the time in effect for shares of Series B Preferred Stock; and (iii)
the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series B Preferred Stock could
be converted at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such shares of Series B Preferred
Stock.
§6.11. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or the occurrence or intended or impending
occurrence of any event described in §4.04 hereof, the Corporation shall give to each holder of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date of the taking
of such record or such event, as the case may be, a written notice specifying (i) in the
case of the taking by the Corporation of a record for the purpose of making a dividend or
distribution, the date on which such record is to be taken and a description of such dividend or
distribution, or (ii) in the case of the occurrence or intended or impending occurrence of
any event described in §4.04 hereof, the date on which such event is to occur, and the time, if
any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of shares of Junior Stock (or other
securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Junior Stock (or other securities) shall
be entitled to exchange their
shares of Junior Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon
the occurrence of such event.
§6.12. Automatic Conversion.
(a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into
shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price for such share of Series B Preferred
Stock, immediately upon the closing of the Corporation’s Qualified Initial Public Offering. The
term “Qualified Initial Public Offering” means an underwritten public
offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer
and sale of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation but only if (i) in the aggregate
proceeds (before deduction of any underwriting discounts, commissions or expenses) received by the
Corporation from such public offering, at the public offering price, shall equal or exceed
$10,000,000; (ii) the public offering price per share of Common Stock of the Corporation in
such public offering shall equal or exceed an amount equal $5.00 (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations and the like); and (iii) each of the underwriters
participating in such public offering shall be obligated to buy on a “firm commitment” basis all
shares of capital stock of the Corporation which such underwriters shall have agreed to distribute.
(b) Upon the occurrence of the closing of such Qualified Initial Public offering, all
of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be converted, without any further
action by the holders thereof, into shares of Common Stock. The holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock so converted shall surrender the stock certificates therefore at the principal
office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for shares of Common Stock in exchange for
shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall, forthwith upon such surrender, issue to such
holders a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such
automatic conversion occurred. The Corporation will also, upon conversion of Series B Preferred
Stock and the issue and delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Common Stock, pay
in Common Stock (valued at the Common Stock’s fair market value at the time of conversion, as
determined on a reasonable basis and in good faith by the Board of Directors) all accrued and
unpaid dividends, computed to the effective date of conversion, on the shares of Series b Preferred
Stock converted into Common Stock.
§6.13. Fractional Shares. No financial shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which any
holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay
cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of the
Corporation’s Common Stock on the date of conversion, as determined in good faith and on a
reasonable basis by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
§6.14. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized by unissued shares of Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such number of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and, if at any time the number
of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will
forthwith take such corporate action as may be necessary or appropriate to increase its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as shall
be sufficient for such purpose.
§6.15. Payment of Taxes. The Corporation will pay all taxes and other governmental
charges that may be imposed in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, any tax or other
charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of
Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in a name
other than that in which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted were registered.
§6.16. No Impairment. The Corporation shall not amend its Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding
or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such
action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock against impairment.
§7. Protective Provisions.

Preferred Stock. So long as any shares of any series of Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or written consent of a

(a) amend, repeal, abolish or modify any term or provision of, or add any term or provision
to, (i) any article of the Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) the
Corporation’s By-laws, if any such action of the kind described in clause (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph (a) would alter or change or otherwise affect in any adverse way any of the powers,
designations, preferences, privileges or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock (as the case may be) or any of the restrictions provided for the benefit of either
such series of Preferred Stock; or
(b) increase the number of authorized shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B

§8. Notices. Any notice or request required or permitted by the provisions of this
Article 4 shall be deemed given to and received by the Corporation (i) when delivered in hand or by
courier or telecopier, or (ii) on the third business day after the same has been deposited in the
United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at the chief executive office of the Corporation at,
and shall be deemed given to and received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock,
(iii) when delivered in hand or by courier or telecopier, or (iv) on the third business day after
the same has been deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, and addressed to such holder of record at the address of such holder as
it appears in the records of the Corporation at the time of mailing.
§9. Shareholder Lists. Upon written request of any holder or holders of
shares of Preferred Stock holding in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Corporation will promptly furnish to such holder or holders a
list of the names, addresses and numbers of shares held by each holder of record of shares of
Preferred Stock as shown by the records of the Corporation.
§10. Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock.
In case any share of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to §5 hereof or converted pursuant
to §6 hereof, the shares so redeemed or converted shall be retired and not reissued.
§11. Undesignated Preferred Stock. The shares of undesignated
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is
hereby authorized to establish and designate the different series and to fix and determine the
voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of
such series adopted by the Board of Directors, which powers, preferences, rights, qualifications,
limitations and restrictions need not be uniform among series. Any of the voting powers,
designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any such
series of stock may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside the resolution or
resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors, provided that
the manner in which such facts shall operate upon the voting powers, designations, preferences,
rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series of stock is clearly and
expressly set forth in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted
by the Board of Directors.
Any resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the authority
vested in them by this Article Fourth shall be set forth in a certificate of designations along
with the number of shares of stock of such series as to which the resolution or resolutions shall
apply and such certificate shall be executed, acknowledged, filed, recorded, and shall become
effective, in accordance with §103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Unless
otherwise provided in any such resolution or resolutions, the number of shares of stock of any such
series to which such resolution or resolutions apply may be increased (but not above
the total
number of authorized shares of the class) or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof
then outstanding) by a certificate likewise executed, acknowledged, filed and recorded, setting
forth a statement that a specified increase or decrease therein has been authorized and directed by
a resolution or resolutions likewise adopted by the Board of Directors. In case the number of
which shares shall be decreased, the number of shares so specified in the certificate shall resume
the status which they had prior to the adoption of the first resolution or resolutions. When no
shares of any such class or series are outstanding, either because none were issued or because none
remain outstanding, a certificate setting forth a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors that none of the authorized shares of such class or series are outstanding, and that none
will be issued subject to the certificate of designations previously filed with respect to such
class or series, may be executed, acknowledged, filed and recorded in the same manner as previously
described and it shall have the effect of eliminating from the certificate of incorporation all
matters set forth in the certificate of designations with respect to such class or series of stock.
If no shares of any such class or series established by a resolution or resolutions adopted by the
Board of Directors have been issued, the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, if any, with the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, may be amended by a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors. In the event of any such amendment, a certificate which (1) states that no shares of
such class or series have been issued, (2) sets forth the copy of the amending resolution or
resolutions and (3) if the designation of such class or series is being changed, indicates the
original designation and the new designation, shall be executed, acknowledged, filed, recorded, and
shall become effective, in accordance with §103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.
ARTICLE 5. The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.
ARTICLE 6. The private property of the shareholders shall not be subject to the
payment of the Corporation debts to any extent whatever.
ARTICLE 7. The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business

and alter, or provide the manner for fixing and altering, the number of directors constituting the

increase in the number of directors constituting the whole Board, the vacancies shall be
filled by the directors or by the shareholders at the time having voting power, as may be
prescribed in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the by-laws. Directors need not be
shareholders of the Corporation, and the election of directors need not be by ballot.
(b) The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority:
(1) to make, alter or repeal by-laws of the Corporation, subject only to such
limitation, if any, as may be from time to time be imposed by this Restated Certificate of

(2) to the full extent permitted or not prohibited by law, and without the consent of
or other action by the shareholders, to authorize or create mortgages, pledges or other

of the Corporation, including after-acquired property, and to exercise all of the powers of
the Corporation in connection therewith; and
(3) subject to any provision of the by-laws or of any contract binding on the
Corporation, to determine whether, to what extent, at what times and places and under what
conditions and regulations the accounts, books and papers of the Corporation (other than the
stock ledger), or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the shareholders, and no
shareholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or paper of the Corporation
except as conferred by statute or authorized by the by-laws, any contract binding on the
Corporation or by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE 8. Meetings of the shareholders may be held outside the State of Delaware, if
the by-laws so provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside of the State of Delaware
at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the
by-laws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE 9. The Corporation shall indemnify each director and officer of the
Corporation, his heirs, executors and administrators, and may indemnify each employee and agent of
the Corporation, his heirs, executors, administrators and all other persons whom the Corporation is
authorized to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, to the greatest extent permitted or provided by law (a) against all expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, or in connection with any appeal therein, or otherwise,
and (b) against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the
Corporation, or in connection with any appeal therein, or otherwise; and no provision of this
Article 9 is intended to be construed as limiting, prohibiting, denying or abrogating any of the
general or specific powers or rights conferred by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware upon the Corporation to furnish, or upon any court to award, such indemnification, or
indemnification as otherwise authorized pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware or any other law now or hereafter in effect.
The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its discretion, authorize the Corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in
any capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
him against such liability under the foregoing paragraph of this Article 9.
ARTICLE 10. No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the
Corporation or to any of its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; provided, however, that to
the extent required from time to time by applicable law, this Article 10 shall not eliminate or
limit the liability of a director, to the extent such liability is provided by applicable law,
(i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the
Delaware Code, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article 10 shall apply to or have any effect
on the liability or alleged liability of any director for or with respect to any acts or omissions
of such director occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment or repeal.
ARTICLE 11. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any
provisions contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter
prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon shareholders herein are granted subject to
this reservation.
THE UNDERSIGNED, being the President of the Corporation does make this certificate, hereby
