Company.
The Reporting Person has not, during the last five (5) years (i) been

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
- ------- -------------------------------------------------
On November 18, 1997 Cruttenden entered into a Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which he acquired an
aggregate of 80,000 shares of the Company's Series A Stock at a purchase price
of $6.25 per share, or $500,000 in the aggregate. The 80,000 shares of Series A
Stock are currently convertible into 400,000 shares of Common Stock. Cruttenden
owned 67,500 shares of Common Stock in his personal investment account prior to
this transaction. At closing, an aggregate of $300,000 was paid to the Company
in cash, and a promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000, payable by
the Company to Cruttenden, was cancelled and the principal amount thereof was
applied to the purchase price of the Series A Stock. A copy of the Purchase
Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by this
reference. The source of Cruttenden's funds
3
<PAGE>
in this transaction was partially a bank borrowing by Cruttenden from Comerica
Bank-California ("Comerica").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cruttenden also acquired a warrant
(the "Warrant") to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock, convertible at any
time prior to its expiration on November 18, 2002, which is exercisable at $1.75
per share. A copy of the Warrant is filed herewith as Exhibit 2 and is
incorporated herein by this reference. The Warrant was issued to Cruttenden in
consideration of his guaranty of the Company's obligation to pay Comerica
$500,000 pursuant to a loan agreement between the Company and Comerica. In
consideration of Cruttenden's guaranty, the Company also paid Cruttenden
$10,000.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue
warrants to purchase an additional 10,000 shares of Common Stock to Cruttenden
for each $100,000 that the Company actually borrows from Comerica, provided
Cruttenden's guaranty therefor shall, at the time of such borrowing, still be in
full force and effect.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
- ------- ----------------------
Cruttenden acquired the Series A Stock and the Warrants for investment
purposes and to assist the Company with its cash needs.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cruttenden has acknowledged that
he does not have any preemptive or similar rights to purchase any additional
shares of Series A Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A
Stock are as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and
Rights filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 17,
1997, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by
this reference.
The Warrant includes provisions protecting against certain dilution
events. Reference is made to Section 5, "Adjustments," of the Warrant, filed as
Exhibit 2 hereto.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Series A Stock, and the underlying shares of Common Stock, and

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
- ------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
to Securities of the Issuer.
---------------------------
The Reporting Person is an officer and principal stockholder of
Cruttenden Roth Incorporated ("CRI"). CRI served as underwriters of the
Company's initial public offering of Common Stock. On September 10, 1997, CRI
entered into a Letter Agreement with the Company pursuant to which CRI was
engaged by the Company as an advisor to assist the Company in evaluating
possible strategic transactions. Such Letter Agreement, as supplemented on
November 18, 1997, provides that the Company will not consummate a transaction
with any third party unless such third party agrees to assume the Company's
obligations to Reporting Person pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement
and related documents.
Pursuant to the Warrant, the Company irrevocably granted and issued to
the Reporting Person the right and option to sell to the Company (the "Put") the
Warrant during the "Put Exercise Period" (defined in Section 6, "Put Agreement,"
in the Warrant, filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by this

October 30, 1997, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, provided that the
-----------
Guaranty shall, at the time of such borrowing, still be in full force and
effect. Such additional warrants shall be in the same form as the Warrant and
shall be issued to the Purchaser within
6
<PAGE>
five (5) business days after any such amounts are borrowed by the Company. For
purposes of calculating the number of additional warrants to be issued to the
Purchaser at such time that the Company borrows $100,000, each such $100,000
shall not include any amounts which have been borrowed, repaid and borrowed
again (for example, if the Company borrows $100,000, repays the $100,000 and
then borrows $200,000, the Company will only be obligated to issue an aggregate
of 20,000 warrants to the Purchaser).
5.3 Payment of Commissions. The Company hereby agrees that it shall
----------------------
pay the Purchaser a commission on the purchase price paid for Series A Preferred
Stock by investors who are introduced to the Company by the Purchaser, at rate
of six Percent (6%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investors.
Such commissions, if any, shall be paid at the closing of the sale by the
Company of Series A Preferred Stock to such investors.

Warrant to Purchase
100,000 Shares of
Common Stock
As Herein Described
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF
HELISYS, INC.
This is to certify that, for value received, Walter W. Cruttenden, III, or
registered assigns (in each case, the "Holder"), is entitled to purchase,
subject to the provisions of this Warrant (the "Warrant"), from Helisys, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), having its principal place of business at
24015 Garnier Street, Torrance, California 90505, at any time during the period
from the date hereof (the "Commencement Date") to 5:00 p.m., California time,
until November __, 2002 (the "Expiration Date"), at which time this Warrant
shall expire and become void, One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares ("Warrant
Shares") of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock"). This Warrant shall
be exercisable at $1.75 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of shares
of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise
Price shall be adjusted from time to time as set forth below. This Warrant also
is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised in full at any time
-------------------
from and after the date hereof and before the Expiration Date, but if such date
is a day on which federal or state chartered banking institutions located in the
State of California are authorized to close, then on the next succeeding day
which shall not be such a day. Exercise shall be by presentation and surrender
to the Company at its principal office, or at the office of any transfer agent
designated by the Company, of (i) this Warrant, (ii) the attached exercise form
properly executed, and (iii) a bank check for the Exercise Price for the number
of Warrant Shares specified in the exercise form. If this Warrant is exercised
in part only, the Company or its transfer agent shall, upon surrender of the
Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder
to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon
receipt by the Company of this Warrant in proper form for exercise, accompanied
by payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record
of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates
representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered by the
Holder.
2. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times until the
---------------------
expiration of this Warrant, reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of
this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares which shall be required for issuance
and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. The
<PAGE>
Company covenants that the shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the
Warrant shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and
free of liens, charges and all taxes with respect to the issue thereof, and that
at such time as the Warrant Shares may be sold, without registration, pursuant
to the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), such shares shall be listed on each national securities
exchange and/or NASDAQ, if any, on which the other shares of outstanding Common
Stock of the Company are then listed.
3. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares
--------------------
or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise or exchange of this
Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share resulting from the exercise or
exchange hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to
such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value per share of Common
Stock (herein, the "Market Price Per Share"), determined as follows:
3.1 If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange or is listed on the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System
("NASDAQ"), the current fair market value shall be the last reported sale price
of the Common Stock on such exchange or NASDAQ on the last business day prior to
the date of exercise of this Warrant, or if no such sale is made on such day,
the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange or
NASDAQ;
3.2 If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges or quoted on NASDAQ, the current fair market value shall be the mean
of the last bid and asked prices reported on the last business day prior to the
date of the exercise of this Warrant (i) by NASDAQ, or (ii) if reports are
unavailable under clause (i) above, by the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated; or
3.3 If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading
privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current fair market
value shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such
reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Company's Board of Directors in
good faith.
4. No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to
-------------------------
any rights as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity. The
rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not
enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
5. Adjustments.
-----------
5.1 Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company is recapitalized
------------------------------------
through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a larger or smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares shall be
increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the
same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount
payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder
immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the
aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.
5.2 Dividends in Common Stock or Securities Convertible into Common Stock.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Company declares a dividend or distribution on Common Stock payable in
Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares
of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased, as
of the record date for determining which
2
<PAGE>
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in
proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into
Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend or distribution, and
the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for
the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the
record date for such dividend or distribution shall equal the aggregate amount
so payable immediately before such record date.
5.3 Distributions of Other Securities or Property.
---------------------------------------------
(a) Other Securities. If the Company distributes to holders of its
----------------
Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the
winding up of its affairs, any of its securities (other than Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock) or any evidence of indebtedness, then
in each case, the number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon exercise
of this Warrant shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
theretofore purchasable by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then
Market Price Per Share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 3) on
the record date mentioned below in this Section 5.3(a), and of which the
denominator shall be the then Market Price Per Share of Common Stock on such
record date, less the then fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors
of the Company in good faith) of the portion of the shares of the Company's
capital stock or evidences of indebtedness distributable with respect to each
share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made, and shall become effective retroactively as of the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
(b) Property. If the Company distributes to the holders of its Common
--------
Stock, other than as a part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up
of its affairs, any of its assets (including cash), the Exercise Price per
Warrant Share shall be reduced, without any further action by the parties
hereto, by the Per Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend or
distribution. For the purposes of this Section 5.3(b), the "Per Share Value" of
any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be equal to the fair market
value of such non-cash distribution on each share of Common Stock as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; for dividends or
distributions of cash, the Per Share Value thereof shall be the cash distributed
per share of Common Stock.
5.4 Rights Offering. If the Company offers rights or warrants to persons
---------------
which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase Common Stock or securities
convertible into Common Stock then:
(a) If the price per share (together with the value of the
consideration, if any, paid for such rights or warrants) is lower on the record
date referred to below than the then Market Price Per Share of Common Stock, the
number of Warrant Shares thereafter purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant
shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares immediately
theretofore purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
record date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares
which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock
so offered would purchase at the then Market Price Per Share of Common Stock.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and
shall become effective retroactively as of the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
3
<PAGE>
(b) If, however, the price per share (together with the value of the
consideration, if any, paid for such rights or warrants) is not lower on such
record date than the then Market Price Per Share of Common Stock, the Company
shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least
fifteen days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to
exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. There shall be no
adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be
exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution pursuant
to this Section 5.4(b).
5.5 Merger, Sale of Assets. If at any time while this Warrant, or any
----------------------
portion thereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall be (i) a
reorganization (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or
subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), (ii) a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the
Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which the
Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company's capital stock
outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or
otherwise, or (iii) a sale or transfer of the Company's properties and assets
as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person, then, as a part of
such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer (except in the
event that the Holder has exercised the "Put" pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7 below), lawful provision shall be made so that the holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant,
during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then
in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
successor corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation,
sale or transfer that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this
Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised
immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer,
all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 5. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 5.5 shall similarly apply to successive
reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock
or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the
exercise of this Warrant. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined
in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and
interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of
this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be,
in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon
exercise of this Warrant.
5.6 Reclassification. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant, or
----------------
any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, shall change any of the
securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, by
reclassification of securities or otherwise, into the same or a different number
of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter
represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have
been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that
were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such
reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be
appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this
Section 5.
5.7 Liquidation, etc. If the Company shall, at any time before the
----------------
expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, or
otherwise declare a dividend, or make a distribution to the holders of its
Common Stock generally, whether in cash, property or assets of any kind,
including any dividend payable in stock or securities of any other issuer owned
by the Company (excluding regularly payable cash dividends declared from time to
time by the Company's Board of Directors or any dividend or distribution
referred to in Section 5.2 or Section 5.3), the Exercise Price shall be reduced,
without any further action by the parties hereto, by the
4
<PAGE>
Per Share Value (as hereinafter defined) of the dividend. For purposes of this
Section 5.7, the "Per Share Value" of a cash dividend or other distribution
shall be the dollar amount of the distribution on each share of Common Stock and
the "Per Share Value" of any dividend or distribution other than cash shall be
equal to the fair market value of such non-cash distribution on each share of
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
5.8 Adjustment for Change in Market Price per Share. The Exercise Price
-----------------------------------------------
shall be adjusted in the event that, at any time during the period from the date
of this Warrant until the Warrant is exercised or repurchased pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6 below, the average of the mean of the closing bid and
asked prices of the Company's Common Stock, over a consecutive seven (7) day
period, falls below $1.75 per share, in which case the Exercise Price shall be
reduced to equal the lowest average of the mean of the closing bid and asked
prices of the Company's Common Stock, over a consecutive seven (7) day period,
at any time during the period from the date of this Warrant until the Warrant is
exercised or repurchased pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 below.
5.9 Adjustment of Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares
----------------------------
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, the Exercise Price
with respect to the Warrant Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such
Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator
shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
5.10 Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares
--------------------
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant or the Exercise Price of the
Warrant Shares is adjusted as provided herein, the Company shall mail to the
Holder a notice of such adjustment or adjustments, prepared and signed by the
Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the Company, which sets forth the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant and the Exercise
Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment, and the computation by which such adjustment
was made.
6. Put Agreement.
-------------
6.1 The Company hereby irrevocably grants and issues to Holder the right
and option to sell to the Company (the "Put") this Warrant during the Put
Exercise Period (as defined below), at a purchase price equal to $1.50 per each
unissued Warrant Share hereunder (the "Purchase Price").
6.2 The "Put Exercise Period" shall mean the five (5) day period
immediately following the earlier of (i) such time as the Company no longer has
a class of securities registered pursuant to either Section 12(b) or Section
12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (ii) consummation of (A) a
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which
the Company is not the surviving entity, or a reverse triangular merger in which
the Company is the surviving entity but the shares of the Company's capital
stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or
otherwise, or (B) a sale or transfer of the Company's properties and assets as,
or substantially as, an entirety to any other person.
6.3 The Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash or cashier's check, the
Purchase Price in exchange for the delivery to the Company of this Warrant by
the Holder within thirty (30) days of the receipt of written notice, addressed
as set forth in Section 10 hereto, from
5
<PAGE>
the Holder of its intention to exercise the Put, provided that such notice is
delivered to the Company within the Put Exercise Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Company is prohibited from paying the Purchase
Price as provided above, by virtue of the provisions of Chapter 5 of the
California Corporations Code or otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to pay
the Purchase Price by delivery of a promissory note to the Holder, which
promissory note shall state that the Company shall only be obligated to make
payments thereunder at such time and to the extent that it is able to do so
under applicable law.
7. Notices to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding (a) if
-----------------
the Company shall pay any dividends or make any distribution upon the Common
Stock otherwise than in cash or (b) if the Company shall offer generally to the
holders of Common Stock the right to subscribe to or purchase any shares of any
class of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or any similar
rights or (c) if there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company in
which the Company is not the surviving entity, recapitalization of the capital
stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all
of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then in such event, the
Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, at least twenty days prior to
the relevant date described below (or such shorter period as is reasonably
possible if twenty days is not reasonably possible), a notice containing a
description of the proposed action and stating the date or expected date on
which a record of the Company's stockholders is to be taken for the purpose of
any such dividend, distribution of rights, or such reclassification,
reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place, the effect of the
action, to the extent such effect may be known on the date of such notice, on
the Exercise Price and the kind and amount of shares of stock or other
securities or property deliverable on the exercise of the Warrant, and the date
or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such event. All such notices shall
be deemed to have been received (i) in the case of personal delivery, on the
date of such delivery, and (ii) in the case of mailing, on the third business
day following the date of such mailing.
8. Transfer or Loss of Warrant.
---------------------------
8.1 Transfer. This Warrant may be transferred, exercised, exchanged or
--------
assigned ("transferred"), in whole or in part, subject to the provisions of this
Section 8.1. The Holder shall have the right to transfer all or a part of this
Warrant and all or part of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall register on
its books any transfer of the Warrant, upon surrender of same to the Company
with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder or
by a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of a transfer, new
Warrant(s) shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant
shall be cancelled by the Company. A Warrant may also be exchanged, at the
option of the Holder, for one or more new Warrants representing the aggregate
number of Warrant Shares evidenced by the Warrant surrendered. This Warrant and
the Warrant Shares or any other securities ("Other Securities") received upon
exercise of this Warrant or the conversion of the Warrant Shares shall be
subject to restrictions on transferability unless registered under the
Securities Act, or unless an exemption from registration is available. Until
this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are so registered, this Warrant and any
certificate for Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory
to counsel for the Company, stating that this Warrant or the Warrant Shares may
not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless, in the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Company, which may be counsel to the Company, that
the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be transferred without such registration.
This Warrant and the Warrant Shares may also be subject to restrictions on
transferability under
6
<PAGE>
applicable state securities or blue sky laws. Until the Warrant and the Warrant
Shares are registered under the Securities Act, the Holder shall reimburse the
Company for its expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with
any transfer or assignment, in whole or in part, of this Warrant or any Warrant
Shares.
8.2 Compliance with Laws. Until this Warrant or the Warrant Shares are
--------------------
registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of
transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares that the transferee (who may be
the Holder in the case of an exchange) represent that the securities being
transferred are being acquired for investment purposes and for the transferee's
own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution of the security. The Company may also require that the transferee
provide written information adequate to establish that the transferee is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D issued under the
Securities Act, or otherwise meets all qualifications necessary to comply with
exemptions to the Securities Act, all as determined by counsel to the Company.
8.3 Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
---------------
satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonable satisfactory
indemnification, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant,
the Company will execute and deliver, or instruct its transfer agent to execute
and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date, any such lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void.
9. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
-------------
Incorporation or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times, in good faith, take
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
rights of the Holder against impairment.
10. Notices. Notices and other communications to be given to the Holder
-------
shall be deemed sufficiently given if delivered by hand, or three (3) business
days after mailing if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
addressed in the name and at the address of such Holder appearing on the records
of the Company. Notices or other communications to the Company shall be deemed

Company at:
Helisys, Inc.
24015 Garnier Street
Torrance, California 90505
Either party may change the address to which notices shall be given by notice
pursuant to this Section 10.

-------------
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

EXHIBIT 3
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
OF
HELISYS, INC.,
a Delaware corporation
Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
_________________
HELISYS, INC., a corporation organized and existing under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies,
pursuant to the authority contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and in
accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware that the following resolution has been duly adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation creating a series of its Preferred Stock
designated as Series A Preferred Stock:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and
vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") by the
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the
"Certificate of Incorporation"), there hereby is created, out of the
1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Corporation authorized in Article 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation
(the "Preferred Stock"), a series of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation
consisting of 320,000 shares, which shall be designated Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, which series shall have the following powers,
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other
rights, and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions:
A. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND RESTRICTIONS OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a statement of the designations, powers,
privileges, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
relating to the Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"):
1. Dividends. When, as and if declared by the Board of
---------
Directors, the holders of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefor,
cumulative dividends, commencing on November 18, 1997, at the rate of ten
percent (10%) per annum, and payable upon (i) conversion of the Preferred
Stock, as expressly provided in Section 4 below, or (ii) liquidation,
dissolution or winding up pursuant to Section 2 hereof. Such dividends
shall accrue, whether or not earned or declared; provided, however, that
-------- -------
such dividends shall cease accruing on November 18, 1999, or at any time
thereafter, in the event that the fair market value of the Common Stock (as
determined pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) below) on November 18, 1999, or on
such later date, equals or exceeds $3.00 per share. Any accumulation of
dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not bear interest.
<PAGE>
2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
--------------------------------------
(a) Preference - Preferred Stock. In the event of any
----------------------------
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary, holders of each share of Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such
assets are capital, surplus, or earnings, before any sums shall be paid or
any assets distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, an
amount equal to $6.25 per share of Preferred Stock, plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends. If the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to
permit the payment in full to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the
amount thus distributable, then the entire assets of the Corporation
available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Preferred Stock. After such payment shall have been made in
full to the holders of the Preferred Stock or funds necessary for such
payment shall have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the
account of holders of the Preferred Stock so as to be available for such
payment, holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no further
participation in the distribution of the assets of the Corporation and
shall have no further rights of conversion, and the remaining assets
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders
of the Common Stock.
(b) A consolidation or merger (other than a consolidation
or merger in which the holders of voting securities of the Corporation
immediately before the consolidation or merger own (immediately after the
consolidation or merger) voting securities of the surviving or acquiring
corporation, or of a parent party of such surviving or acquiring
corporation, possessing more than 50% of the voting power of such surviving
or acquiring corporation or parent party) of the Corporation or a sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall be regarded
as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2.
(c) Each holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right to
elect the benefits of the provisions of Section 4(g) hereof in lieu of
receiving payment in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation pursuant to this Section 2. The election procedures shall be as
provided in Section 4(g) hereof.
(d) Whenever the distribution provided for herein shall be
paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be
the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.
3. Voting Power. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be
------------
entitled to vote on all matters and shall be entitled to that number of
votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into
which such holder's shares of Preferred Stock could be converted, pursuant
to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, at the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no
such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any
written consent of shareholders is solicited. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein or as required by law, the holders of shares of Preferred
Stock and Common Stock shall vote together as a class on all matters.

<PAGE>
4. Conversion Rights. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall
-----------------
have the following conversion rights:
(a) General.
-------
(i) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions
of this Section 4, any shares of the Preferred Stock may, at the option of
the holder, be converted at any time or from time to time into fully-paid
and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the largest
whole share) of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which
a holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the
product obtained by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Rate (determined
as provided in Section 4(b)) by the number of shares of Preferred Stock
being converted together with payment of accrued but unpaid dividends
either (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of Common Stock by converting the
accrued and unpaid dividends at the then fair market value of such Common
Stock. The method of payment of the dividends as provided in (i) and (ii)
above shall be at the election of the holder of the Preferred Stock, with
the fair market value determined as follows: (i) if the Common Stock is
publicly traded, the average over the preceding twenty (20) trading days of
the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on the over-the-counter market
as reported by NASDAQ, or, if then traded on a national securities exchange
or the NASDAQ National Market, the average over the preceding twenty (20)
trading days of the mean of the high and low prices on the principal
national securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market on which it is
so traded over the preceding twenty (20) trading days, and (ii) if the
Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as agreed upon by the Corporation
and a majority in interest of the holders of the Preferred Stock. If no
such agreement is reached within thirty (30) days, the fair market value
shall be determined by appraisal; and
(ii) each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically
be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Rate determined as
provided in Section 4(b) by the number of shares of Preferred Stock being
converted on November __, 2002, if such Preferred Stock remains outstanding
on November __, 2002.
(b) Applicable Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in
--------------------------
effect at any time (the "Applicable Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient
obtained by dividing $6.25, by the Applicable Conversion Value, calculated
as provided in Section 4(c).
(c) Applicable Conversion Value. The Applicable Conversion
---------------------------
Value in effect from time to time, except as adjusted in accordance with
Section 4(d) hereof, shall be $1.25.
(d) Adjustments to Applicable Conversion Value.
------------------------------------------
(i) Upon Sale of Common Stock. If the Corporation
-------------------------
shall, while there are any shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, issue or
sell shares of its Common Stock without consideration or at a price per
share less than the Applicable Conversion Value in effect immediately prior
to such issuance or sale, then in each such case such Applicable Conversion
Value upon each such issuance or sale, except as hereinafter provided,
shall be
3
<PAGE>
adjusted to an amount determined by multiplying the Applicable Conversion
Value by a fraction:
(A) 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 which the net aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for
the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued would
purchase at the Applicable Conversion Value, and
(B) 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 such additional
shares of Common Stock so issued.
The numerator and the denominator in Sections 4(d)(i)(A) and (B)
above, shall include the number of shares subject to issuance pursuant to
any convertible securities, including the Preferred Stock, as well as any
warrants, options, subscription rights or purchase rights then outstanding.
No adjustment shall be made under this subsection (d) until such
adjustment would cause the Applicable Conversion Value to be decreased (or
increased pursuant to the foregoing paragraph) by more than two percent
(2%), provided that any such adjustments shall be added to subsequent
adjustments.
The Corporation's issuance of up to an aggregate of (i) 150,000 shares
under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (ii) 200,950 shares of Common
Stock, or options exercisable therefor, net of repurchase or expiration of
such options, pursuant to any stock purchase or stock option plan or other
employee incentive program approved by the Board of Directors to the
Corporation's employees, directors, officers or consultants shall not be
deemed an issuance of additional shares of Common Stock and shall have no
effect on the calculations contemplated by this Section 4(d) except as
specifically otherwise set forth herein.
The completion of a consolidation or merger in which the holders of
voting securities of the Corporation immediately before the consolidation
or merger own (immediately after the consolidation or merger) voting
securities of the surviving or acquiring corporation, or of a parent party
of such surviving or acquiring corporation, possessing more than 50% of the
voting power of such surviving or acquiring corporation or parent party of
the Corporation shall not be deemed an issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock and shall have no effect on the calculations contemplated by
this Section 4(d), except as specifically otherwise set forth herein.
Except as discussed in the preceding paragraph, for the purposes of
this Section 4(d), the issuance of any warrants, options, subscriptions or
purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock and the issuance of
any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
(or the issuance of any warrants, options or any rights with respect to
such convertible or exchangeable securities) shall be deemed an issuance at
such time of such Common Stock if the Net Consideration Per Share (as
hereinafter
4
<PAGE>
determined) which may be received by the Corporation for such Common Stock
shall be less than the Applicable Conversion Value at the time of such
issuance. Any obligation, agreement or undertaking to issue warrants,
options, subscriptions or purchase rights at any time in the future shall
be deemed to be an issuance at the time such obligation, agreement or
undertaking is made or arises. No adjustment of the Applicable Conversion
Value shall be made under this Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any shares
of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants,
options, subscriptions or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of
any conversion or exchange rights in any convertible securities if any
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of any such
warrants, options or subscriptions or purchase rights or upon the issuance
of any convertible securities (or upon the issuance of any warrants,
options or any rights therefor) as above provided. Any adjustment of the
Applicable Conversion Value with respect to this paragraph which relates to
warrants, options, subscriptions or purchase rights with respect to shares
of Common Stock shall be disregarded if and when any of such warrants,
options, subscriptions or purchase rights expire or are cancelled without
being exercised, so that the Applicable Conversion Value effective
immediately upon such cancellation or expiration shall be equal to the
Applicable Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to the time of the
issuance of the expired or cancelled warrants, options, subscriptions or
purchase rights, with such additional adjustments as would have been made
to that Applicable Conversion Value had the expired or cancelled warrants,
options, subscriptions or purchase rights not been issued. For purposes of
this paragraph, the "Net Consideration Per Share" which may be received by
the Corporation shall be determined as follows:
(A) The "Net Consideration Per Share" shall mean the amount
equal to the total amount of consideration, if any, received by the
Corporation for the issuance of such warrants, options, subscriptions or
other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the
minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon
exercise or conversion thereof, divided by the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock that would be issued if all such warrants, options,
subscriptions or other purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable
securities were exercised, exchanged or converted.
(B) The "Net Consideration Per Share" which may be received by
the Corporation shall be determined in each instance as of the date of
issuance of warrants, options, subscriptions or other purchase rights or
convertible or exchangeable securities without giving effect to any
possible future price adjustments or rate adjustments which may be
applicable with respect to such warrants, options, subscriptions or other
purchase rights or convertible or exchangeable securities.
For purposes of this Section 4(d), if a part or all of the
consideration received by the Corporation in connection with the issuance
of shares of Common Stock or the issuance of any of the securities
described in this Section 4(d) consists of property other than cash, the
value of such contribution shall be the fair market value of such property
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
whereupon such value shall be given to such consideration and shall be
recorded on the books of the Corporation with respect to receipt of such
property.
5
<PAGE>
This Section 4(d) shall not apply under any of the circumstances which
would constitute an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter
defined in Section 4(d)(ii)).
(ii) Upon the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as
hereinafter defined), the Applicable Conversion Value (and all other
conversion values set forth in Section (d)(i) above) shall, simultaneously
with the happening of such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, be adjusted by
multiplying the then effective Applicable Conversion Value by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and
the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Applicable Conversion
Value. The Applicable Conversion Value, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted
in the same manner upon the happening of any successive Extraordinary
Common Stock Event or Events.
"Extraordinary Common Stock Event" shall mean (i) the issue of
additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution
on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivision of outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of the Common Stock, or (iii)
combination of outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares of the Common Stock.
(e) Dividends. In the event the Corporation shall make or issue, or
---------
fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the
Corporation other than shares of Common Stock or in assets (excluding cash
dividends or distributions), then and in each such event provision shall be
made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall receive upon
conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereupon, the number of securities or such other assets of the
Corporation which they would have received had their 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 (as that term is hereafter defined in Section 4(i)),
retained such securities or such other assets receivable by them as
aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called
for during such period under this Section 4 with respect to the rights of
the holders of the Preferred Stock.
(f) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Common Stock
------------------------------------
issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into
the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of
the Corporation, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise
(other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend
provided for elsewhere in this Section 4, or a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 4),
then and in each such event the holder of each share of Preferred Stock
shall have the right thereafter to convert such share 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 share of Preferred Stock
might have been converted (taking into account all accrued and unpaid
dividends and interest with respect to such Preferred
6
<PAGE>
Stock) immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or
change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(g) Capital Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets. If at any
------------------------------------------------
time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the
Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reclassification or
exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 4) 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 so that the holders of the
Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of
the 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, consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale or an amount of cash
receivable as if the Preferred Stock had converted into shares of Common
Stock. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights
of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 4
(including adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Value then in effect and
the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock)
shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as
may be practicable.
Each holder of Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a capital
reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or the sale of
all or substantially all its assets and properties as such events are more
fully set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4(g), shall have the
option of electing treatment of his shares of Preferred Stock under either
this Section 4(g) or Section 2 hereof by giving the Corporation written
notice of such election at least ten days prior to the close of such
transaction unless such holders received notice of transaction less than 20
days prior to the close of such transaction, then the notice of election
shall be 10 days after such notice.
(h) Accountant's Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of an
------------------------------------------
adjustment or readjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate, the
Corporation will furnish each holder of Preferred Stock with a certificate,
prepared by its chief financial officer showing such adjustment or
readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. Upon the request of the holders of a majority of
either series of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation will cause its
independent public accountants to confirm the accuracy of such adjustment
or readjustment.
(i) Exercise of Conversion Privilege. To exercise its conversion
--------------------------------
privilege, a holder of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or
certificates representing the shares being converted to the Corporation at
its principal office, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at
that office that such holder elects to convert such shares. Such notice
shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall be issued. The certificate or certificates for shares of
Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by proper
assignment thereof to the Corporation or in blank if the conversion
7
<PAGE>
occurs automatically on November 18, 2002, the Corporation shall give
holders of Preferred Stock 15 days written notice of such conversion.
Except for the automatic conversions when the Conversion Date shall be
November 18, 2002, the date when such written notice is received by the
Corporation, together with the certificate or certificates representing the
shares of Preferred Stock being converted, shall be the "Conversion Date."
As promptly as practicable, but in any event within 15 days after the
Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver to the
holder of the shares of Preferred Stock being converted such certificate or
certificates as it may request for the number of whole shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, and cash in the amount of
all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of Preferred Stock up to
and including the Conversion Date.
(j) Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of
---------------------------------
Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional
shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of
Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of the shares of
Preferred Stock which were converted a cash adjustment in respect of such
fractional shares in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market
price per share of the Common Stock (as determined in a reasonable manner
prescribed by the Board of Directors) at the close of business on the
Conversion Date. The determination as to whether or not any fractional
shares are issuable shall be based upon the total number of shares of
Preferred Stock being converted at any one time by any holder thereof, not
upon each share of Preferred Stock being converted.
(k) Partial Conversion. In the event some but not all of the
------------------
shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate or certificates
surrendered by a holder are converted, the Corporation shall execute and
deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the
Corporation, a new certificate representing the number of shares of
Preferred Stock which were not converted.
(l) Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all
---------------------------
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of the 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 the Preferred
Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
5. No Redemption. The Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the
-------------
Corporation.
6. No Reissuance of the Preferred Stock. No share or shares of the
------------------------------------
Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of purchase,
conversion or otherwise shall be reissued. The Corporation may from time to
time take such appropriate corporate
8
<PAGE>
action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the
Preferred Stock accordingly.
7. No Dilution or Impairment. Except as expressly provided herein,
-------------------------
the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation
or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
the Preferred Stock set forth herein, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the holders of the Preferred Stock against dilution or other impairment.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation (a) will
not increase the par value of any shares of stock receivable on the
conversion of the Preferred Stock above the amount payable therefor on such
conversion, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue
fully paid and non-assessable shares of stock on the conversion of all
Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding, (c) will not issue any
capital stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or as to the
distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, unless the rights of the
holders thereof shall be limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value
in respect of participation in dividends and in any such distribution of
assets, and (d) will not transfer all or substantially all of its
properties and assets to any other person (corporate or otherwise), or
consolidate with or merge into any other person or permit any such person
to consolidate with or merge into the Corporation (if the Corporation is
not the surviving person), unless such other person shall expressly assume
in writing and will be bound by all the terms of the Preferred Stock set
forth herein.
8. Notices of Record Date. In the event of (a) any taking by the
----------------------
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or to receive any other right, or
(a) any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to
any other corporation, or any other entity or person, or
(b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation, then and in each such event the Corporation
shall mail or cause to be mailed to each holder of Preferred Stock a notice
specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and a description of such
dividend, distribution or right, (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected
to become effective, (iii) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as to
when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger,
9
<PAGE>
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be mailed at
least 30 days prior to the date specified in such notice on which such
action is to be taken.
