Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E

Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred
and Series E Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any
time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of
shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred shall be
entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the
"Series A Preferred Conversion Rate," "Series B Preferred Conversion Rate,"
"Series C Preferred Conversion Rate," "Series D Preferred
7.
<PAGE>
Conversion Rate," or "Series E Preferred Conversion Rate," as applicable, then
in effect (determined as provided in Section 4(c)) by the respective number of
shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D
Preferred or Series E Preferred being converted.
b. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.
(i) Each share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred shall
automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the
then-effective Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B Preferred
Conversion Price, Series C Preferred Conversion Price, Series D Preferred
Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price, (A) at any time upon
the affirmative election of the holders of at least sixty-six and two thirds
percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred, the
Series B Preferred, the Series C Preferred, the Series D Preferred and the
Series E Preferred, voting together as a single class, or (B) immediately upon
the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), covering the offer and sale of Common Stock, at a public
offering price (prior to any underwriters' discounts or commissions) equal to or
greater than $3.25 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends,
recapitalizations and the like) for the account of the Company in which the
equity of the Company is valued at no less than $120,000,000 in the aggregate
(the "Minimum Transaction Value"); or (C) immediately prior to the closing of
any Acquisition in which (i) the equity of the Company is valued at no less than
the Minimum Transaction Value and (ii) the Stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction receive cash or securities that are not
restricted stock for purposes of the Securities Act and are tradable on a
national securities exchange or automated quotation system having a value at the
time of such closing of at least $3.25 per share of Common Stock of the Company
(as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and the like). Upon
such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4(e). The number of shares of Common
Stock to which a holder of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred shall be entitled upon
conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the "Series A Preferred
Conversion Rate," the "Series B Preferred Conversion Rate," the "Series C
Preferred Conversion Rate," the "Series D Preferred Conversion Rate," or the
"Series E Preferred Conversion Rate" then in effect (determined as provided in
Section 4(c)) by the respective number of shares of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred being
converted.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of an event specified in
paragraph (i) above, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred shall
be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such
shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are
surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing
such shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred are either delivered to the Company or
its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its
8.
<PAGE>
transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and
executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from
any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the
occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred, the
holders of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D
Preferred or Series E Preferred shall surrender the certificates representing
such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder
promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate
or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of
Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred surrendered were
convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred, and any
declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4(e).
c. SERIES A PREFERRED, SERIES B PREFERRED, SERIES C
PREFERRED, SERIES D PREFERRED AND SERIES E PREFERRED CONVERSION RATE. The
conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series A Preferred
(the "Series A Preferred Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by
dividing the Series A Original Issue Price by the "Series A Preferred Conversion
Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(d). The conversion rate in effect at
any time for conversion of the Series B Preferred (the "Series B Preferred
Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Series B
Original Issue Price by the "Series B Preferred Conversion Price," calculated as
provided in Section 4(d). The conversion rate in effect at any time for
conversion of the Series C Preferred (the "Series C Preferred Conversion Rate")
shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Series C Original Issue Price by
the "Series C Preferred Conversion Price," calculated as provided in Section
4(d). The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series D
Preferred (the "Series D Preferred Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient
obtained by dividing the Series D Original Issue Price by the "Series D
Preferred Conversion Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(d). The
conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series E Preferred
(the "Series E Preferred Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient obtained by
dividing the Series E Original Issue Price by the "Series E Preferred Conversion
Price," calculated as provided in Section 4(d).
d. SERIES A PREFERRED, SERIES B PREFERRED, SERIES C
PREFERRED, SERIES D PREFERRED AND SERIES E PREFERRED CONVERSION PRICE. The
conversion price for the Series A Preferred shall initially be the Series A
Original Issue Price (the "Series A Preferred Conversion Price"). The conversion
price for the Series B Preferred shall initially be the Series B Original Issue
Price (the "Series B Preferred Conversion Price"). The conversion price for the
Series C Preferred shall initially be the Series C Original Issue Price (the
"Series C Preferred Conversion Price"). The conversion price for the Series D
Preferred shall initially be the Series D Original Issue Price (the "Series D
Preferred Conversion Price"). The conversion price for the Series E Preferred
shall initially be the Series E Original Issue Price (the "Series E Preferred
Conversion Price"). Such initial Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series
C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred Conversion Prices shall be
adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 4. All references to
the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, the Series B Preferred Conversion
Price, the Series C Preferred Conversion Price, the Series D Preferred
Conversion Price or the Series E Preferred Conversion Price herein shall
9.
<PAGE>
mean the Series A Preferred Conversion Price as so adjusted, the Series B
Preferred Conversion Price as so adjusted, the Series C Preferred Conversion
Price as so adjusted, the Series D Preferred Conversion Price as so adjusted,
and the Series E Preferred Conversion Price as so adjusted, respectively.
e. MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Each holder of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant
to this Section 4 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that
such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of
shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D
Preferred or Series E Preferred being converted. Thereupon, the Company shall
promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is
entitled and shall promptly pay in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are
not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock's fair
market value determined by the Board of Directors as of the date of such
conversion), any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates
representing the shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred to be converted, and the
person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares
of Common Stock on such date.
f. ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the
Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date that the first
share of Series E Preferred is issued (the "Original Issue Date") effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding subdivision
of the Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, the Series B
Preferred Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred Conversion Price, the Series
D Preferred Conversion Price and the Series E Preferred Conversion Price in
effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.
Conversely, if the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the
Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of the Preferred
Stock, the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, the Series B Preferred
Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred Conversion Price, the Series D
Preferred Conversion Price and the Series E Preferred Conversion Price in effect
immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any
adjustment under this Section 4(f) shall become effective at the close of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
g. ADJUSTMENT FOR COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional
shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Series A Preferred Conversion
Price, the Series B Preferred Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred
10.
<PAGE>
Conversion Price, the Series D Preferred Conversion Price and the Series E
Preferred Conversion Price that is then in effect shall be decreased as of
the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of
the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series A
Preferred Conversion Price, the Series B Preferred Conversion Price, the
Series C Preferred Conversion Price, the Series D Preferred Conversion Price
or the Series E Preferred Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which is 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 (ii) the denominator of which is 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 the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such
dividend or distribution; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such record date is
fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not
fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Preferred Conversion
Price, the Series B Preferred Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred
Conversion Price, the Series D Preferred Conversion Price and the Series E
Preferred Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of
business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Preferred Conversion
Price, the Series B Preferred Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred
Conversion Price, the Series D Preferred Conversion Price and the Series E
Preferred Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(g) to
reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.
h. ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE AND
SUBSTITUTION. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date,
the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series
B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred is
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of
stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an
Acquisition or Asset Transfer as defined in Section 3(c) or a subdivision or
combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 4), in
any such event each holder of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred shall have the right
thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification
or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into
which such shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred could have been converted immediately
prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to
further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities
or property by the terms thereof.
i. REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF
ASSETS. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there
is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than an Acquisition or
Asset Transfer as defined in Section 3(c) or a recapitalization, subdivision,
combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for
elsewhere in this Section 4, as a part of such capital reorganization, provision
shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred shall thereafter
be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred the
number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company to
which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have
11.
<PAGE>
been entitled on such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect
of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. 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 Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred after
the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4
(including adjustment of the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B
Preferred Conversion Price, Series C Preferred Conversion Price, Series D
Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price then in effect
and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E
Preferred) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as
practicable.
j. SALE OF SHARES BELOW SERIES A PREFERRED, SERIES B
PREFERRED, SERIES D PREFERRED AND SERIES E PREFERRED CONVERSION PRICE.
(i) If at any time or from time to time after the Original
Issue Date, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions
of this Section 4(j) to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock
(as defined in Section 4(j)(v) below), other than as a dividend or other
distribution on any class of stock as provided in Section 4(g) above, and other
than a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in
Section 4(f) above, for an Effective Price (as defined in Section 4(j)(v) below)
less than the then effective Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B
Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price, then and in
each such case the then existing Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B
Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price, as the case
may be, shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such
issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying the Series A Preferred
Conversion Price, Series B Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred
Conversion Price, as the case may be, by a fraction (i) the numerator of which
shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined
below) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (B) the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (as defined in Section
4(j)(iii)) by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at such Series A Preferred Conversion Price,
Series B Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale
plus the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the
purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed
to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (A) the number of
shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, (B) the number of shares of Common
Stock into which the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred could
be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date,
and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock which could be obtained through the
exercise or conversion of all other rights, options and convertible securities
on the day immediately preceding the given date.
(ii) If at any time after the Original Issue Date and prior
to January 1, 2001, the Company shall issue or be deemed to have issued
Additional Shares of Common Stock for an Effective Price per share of less than
the then effective Series D Preferred Conversion Price, then the Series D
Preferred Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted to
12.
<PAGE>
equal the Effective Price per share for which such Additional Shares of Common
Stock were issued or deemed to have been issued. This Section 4(j)(ii) shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after January 1, 2001.
(iii) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under
this Section 4(j), the consideration received by the Company for any issue or
sale of securities shall (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at
the net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any
underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed
by the Company in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of
any expenses payable by the Company, (B) to the extent it consists of property
other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common
Stock, Convertible Securities (as defined in Section 4(j)(iv)) or rights or
options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other
assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the
portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares
of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.
(iv) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this
Section 4(j), if the Company issues or sells (A) stock or other securities
convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or
securities being herein referred to as "Convertible Securities") or (B) rights
or options for the purchase of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
is less than the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B Preferred
Conversion Price, Series D Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred
Conversion Price, in each case the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the
time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the
maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or
conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of
such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any,
received by the Company for the issuance of such rights or options or
Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum
amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of
such rights or options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum
amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company (other than by
cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible
Securities) upon the conversion thereof; PROVIDED that if in the case of
Convertible Securities the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be
ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses,
the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of
consideration without reference to such clauses; PROVIDED further that if the
minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or
conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or
on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of
antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the
figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; PROVIDED
further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon
the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is
subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using
the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the
exercise or conversion of such rights, options or
13.
<PAGE>
Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Series A Preferred
Conversion Price, Series B Preferred Conversion Price, Series D Preferred
Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price, as adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights, options 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 or options or the conversion of any such Convertible
Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege
represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been
exercised, the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B Preferred
Conversion Price, Series D Preferred Conversion Price or Series E Preferred
Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or
Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Series A Preferred Conversion
Price, Series B Preferred Conversion Price, Series D Preferred Conversion Price
or Series E Preferred Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an
adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually
issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion
of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if
any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company
upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the
Company for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the
Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any,
actually received by the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or
obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such
Convertible Securities, PROVIDED that such readjustment shall not apply to prior
conversions of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series D Preferred or
Series E Preferred.
(v) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all
shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant
to this Section 4(j), whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by
the Company other than (A) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred; (B) shares of Common Stock and/or
options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights, and the Common Stock
issued or issuable pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights to
employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the
Company or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or
other arrangements that are approved by the Board; (C) shares of Common Stock
issued or issuable for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger,
consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination; (D) shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing
arrangement, or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution;
and (E) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with
licensing transactions involving the Company and other entities, including
(1) joint ventures, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements or
(2) technology transfer or development arrangements; PROVIDED that such
transactions in (1) and (2) and the issuance of shares therein has been
approved by at least five of the nine members of the Company's Board of
Directors. The "Effective Price" of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall
mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold
by the Company under this Section 4(j), into the aggregate consideration
received, or deemed to have been received by the Company for such issue under
this Section 4(j), for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

k. CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. In each case of an adjustment
or readjustment of the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, Series B Preferred
Conversion Price, Series C Preferred Conversion Price, Series D Preferred
Conversion Price or Series E Preferred Conversion Price for the number of shares
of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred, if the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred is then convertible pursuant to this
Section 4, the Company, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate
showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred at the holder's address as shown in the Company'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 to be received by the
Company for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold, (ii) the Series A Preferred Conversion Price, the
Series B Preferred Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred Conversion Price,
the Series D Preferred Conversion Price or the Series E Preferred Conversion
Price, as the case may be, at the time in effect, (iii) the number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property
which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E
Preferred.
l. NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. Upon (i) any taking by the
Company 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 (ii) any Acquisition (as defined in Section 3(d)) or
other capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any Asset
Transfer (as defined in Section 3(d)), or any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to
each holder of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred at least twenty (20) days prior to the
record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a
description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such
Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger,
Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
effective, and (C) the date, 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 Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification,
transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.
m. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred. All shares of
Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than
one share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series
D Preferred or Series E Preferred by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for
purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of
15.
<PAGE>
any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion
would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu
of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the Common Stock's fair market value (as determined by the Board
of Directors) on the date of conversion.
n. RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The
Company 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 Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred, 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 Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred. 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
Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred
and Series E Preferred, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in
the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purpose.
o. NOTICES. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon
personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex
or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then
on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv)
one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier,
specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices
shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder
appearing on the books of the Company.
p. PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all taxes (other
than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed
with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series
D Preferred or Series E Preferred, excluding 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 A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series
E Preferred so converted were registered.
q. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. Without the consent of the
holders of then outstanding Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred, Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred as required under Section
2, the Company 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 take 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 Company, but shall 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
the holders of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred,
Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred against dilution or other impairment.
16.
<PAGE>
5. REDEMPTION.
a. The Series A Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D
Preferred and Series E Preferred shall not be redeemable by the Company.
b. The Company shall be obligated to redeem the Series B
Preferred as follows:
(i) At the individual option of each holder of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred, the Company, to the extent it may
lawfully do so, shall redeem the number of shares of Series B Preferred held by
such holder that is specified in a written request for redemption (a "Redemption
Request") delivered to the Company by the holder on or prior to the date that is
sixty (60) days before the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, which
redemption shall occur in three (3) equal annual installments beginning on the
fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, and ending on the date three (3)
years from such first redemption date (each a "Redemption Date"). The Company
shall effect such redemptions on the applicable Redemption Date by paying in
cash in exchange for the shares of Series B Preferred to be redeemed a sum equal
to the Series B Original Issue Price per share of Series B Preferred (as
adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and
the like) plus declared and unpaid dividends with respect to such shares plus an
amount equal to 8% of the Series B Original Issue Price per share of Series B
Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits,
recapitalizations and the like) compounded annually from the second anniversary
of the Original Issue Date through the applicable Redemption Date. The total
amount to be paid for the Series B Preferred to be redeemed is hereinafter
referred to as the "Redemption Price." The number of shares of Series B
Preferred that the Company shall be required to redeem on any one Redemption
Date shall be equal to the amount determined by dividing (A) the aggregate
number of shares of Series B Preferred for which the Company timely received a
Redemption Request that are outstanding immediately prior to the Redemption Date
by (B) the number of remaining Redemption Dates (including the Redemption Date
to which such calculation applies). Shares subject to redemption pursuant to
this Section 5(b) shall be redeemed from each holder of Series B Preferred who
has timely submitted a Redemption Request on a pro rata basis.
(ii) At least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty
(60) days prior to the first Redemption Date, the Company shall send a notice (a
"Redemption Notice") to all holders of Series B Preferred to be redeemed setting
forth (A) the Redemption Price for the shares to be redeemed; and (B) the place
at which such holders may obtain payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender
of their share certificates. If the Company does not have sufficient funds
legally available to redeem all shares to be redeemed at the Redemption Date,
then it shall redeem such shares pro rata (based on the portion of the aggregate
Redemption Price payable to them) to the extent possible and shall redeem the
remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds are legally
available.
(iii) On or after such Redemption Date, each holder of
shares of Series B Preferred to be redeemed shall surrender such holder's
certificates representing such shares to the Company in the manner and at the
place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of
such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose
17
<PAGE>
name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and
each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less than all
the shares represented by such certificates are redeemed, a new certificate
shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. From and after such
Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the
Redemption Price or the Company is unable to pay the Redemption Price due to
not having sufficient legally available funds, all rights of the holder of
such shares as a holder of Series B Preferred (except the right to receive
the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates),
shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; PROVIDED that in the
event that shares of Series B Preferred are not redeemed due to a default in
payment by the Company or because the Company does not have sufficient
legally available funds, such shares of Series B Preferred shall remain
outstanding and shall be entitled to all of the rights and preferences
provided herein.
(iv) In the event of a call for redemption of any
shares of Series B Preferred, the Conversion Rights (as defined in Section 4)
for such Series B Preferred shall terminate as to the shares designated for
redemption at the close of business on the fifth (5th) day preceding the
Redemption Date, unless default is made in payment of the Redemption Price.
6. NO REISSUANCE OF SERIES A PREFERRED, SERIES B PREFERRED,
SERIES C PREFERRED, SERIES D PREFERRED OR SERIES E PREFERRED.
No share or shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred acquired by the
Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be
reissued.
V.
A. To the extent permitted by applicable law a director of the corporation
shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or its stockholders, (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 the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. To the extent
permitted by applicable law if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended
after approval by the stockholders of this Article to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of a director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
B. Any repeal or modification of this Article V shall only be prospective
and shall not effect the rights under this Article V in effect at the time of
the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to
liability.
VI.
For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs
of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the
powers of the Corporation, of its
18.
<PAGE>
directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it
is further provided that:
A. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the
Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors
which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by the Board
of Directors in the manner provided in the Bylaws and pursuant to Article
IV.D.2.g. herein.
B. The Board of Directors may from time to time make, amend, supplement or
repeal the Bylaws; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the stockholders may change or repeal
any Bylaw adopted by the Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of the
percentage of holders of capital stock as provided therein; and, PROVIDED
further that no amendment or supplement to the Bylaws adopted by the Board of
Directors shall vary or conflict with any amendment or supplement thus adopted
by the stockholders.
C. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot
unless the Bylaws so provide.
