corporation) or effect any other transaction or series of related transactions
in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation is
disposed of; provided that this subparagraph 4D shall not apply to a merger

deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
(i) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar
restrictions on free marketability:

deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is

or by the Certificate of Incorporation, without the approval of the holders of

right, at its option at any time, to convert any such shares of Preferred Stock
(except that upon any liquidation of the Corporation the right of conversion
shall terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment
of the amount distributable on the Preferred Stock) into such number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is obtained by (i) multiplying
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so to be converted by $9.00 and
(ii) dividing the result by the conversion price of $9.00 per share or, in case
an adjustment of such price has taken place pursuant to the further provisions
of this paragraph 6, then by the conversion price as last adjusted and in effect
at the date any share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock are surrendered for
conversion. The conversion price set forth herein or such price as last
adjusted, is referred to herein as the "Conversion Price." Such right of
conversion shall be exercised by the holder thereof by giving written notice
that the holder elects to convert a stated number of shares of Preferred Stock
into Common Stock and by surrender of a certificate or certificates for the
shares so to be converted to the Corporation at its principal office (or such
other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by
notice in writing to the holders of the Preferred Stock) at any time during its
usual business hours on the date set forth in such notice, together with a
statement of the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued.
6B. Issuance of Certificates; Time Conversion Effected.
--------------------------------------------------
Promptly after the receipt of the written notice referred to in subparagraph 6A
and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the share or shares of
Preferred Stock to be converted, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or
cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder, registered in such name or
names as such holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of
whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or
shares of Preferred Stock. To the extent permitted by law,
12
<PAGE>
such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected and the Conversion Price
for such shares shall be determined as of the close of business on the date on
which such written notice shall have been received by the Corporation and the
certificate or certificates for such share or shares shall have been received by
the Corporation and the certificate or certificates for such share or shares
shall have been surrendered as aforesaid, and at such time the rights of the
holder of share or shares of Preferred Stock shall cease, and the person or
persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have
become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby.
6C. Fractional Shares; Dividends; Partial Conversion. No
------------------------------------------------
fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock into Common
Stock and no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account
of any cash dividends on the Common Stock issued upon such conversion. At the
time of each conversion, the Corporation shall pay, out of assets legally
available therefor, in cash an amount equal to all dividends (excluding Series B
Accruing Dividends) declared and unpaid on the shares of Preferred Stock
surrendered for conversion to the date upon which such conversion is deemed to
take place as provided in subparagraph 6B. In case the number of shares of
Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered
pursuant to subparagraph 6A exceeds the number of shares converted, the
Corporation shall, upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the holder, at
the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate or certificates for the number
of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates
surrendered which are not to be converted. If any fractional share of Common
Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this
subparagraph 6C, be delivered upon such conversion, the Corporation, in lieu of
delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the holder surrendering the
Preferred Stock for conversion an amount in cash equal to the current market
price of such fractional share as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.
6D. Adjustment of Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except
-------------------------------------------------
as provided in subparagraph 6E, if and whenever the Corporation shall issue or
sell, or is, in accordance with subparagraphs 6D(1) through 6D(7), deemed to
have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share
less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such
issue or sale, then, forthwith upon such issue or sale, such issue or sale, such
Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by dividing (i) an
amount equal to the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issue or sale (including the number of shares of
Common Stock then issued or issuable upon Conversion Price and (b) the
consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale, by
(ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such issue or sale (including the number of shares of Common Stock then issued
or issuable upon conversion of all issued and outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock).

For purposes of this subparagraph 6D, the following subparagraphs
6D(1) to 6D(7) shall also be applicable:
6D(1) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the
-----------------------------
Corporation shall in any manner grant (whether directly or by assumption in a
merger or otherwise) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to
purchase, or any options for the purchase of, Common Stock (such warrants,
rights or options being called "Options" and such convertible or exchangeable
stock or securities being called Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities (determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or
receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such Options,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such
Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the
total maximum number of shares of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon
the exercise of such Options) shall be less than a Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be
deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of granting
of such Options or the issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter
shall be deemed to be outstanding. Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph
6D(3), no adjustment of such Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of
such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
6D(2) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the
----------------------------------
Corporation shall in any manner issue (whether directly or by assumption in a
merger or otherwise) or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the
rights to exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon
such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (i) the total amount
received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale
of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities)
shall be less than a Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of
such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be
deemed to have been issued for such price per share as of the date of the issue
or sale of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in subparagraph
6D(3), no adjustment of such Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of
14
<PAGE>
such Convertible Securities and (b) if any such issue or sale of such
Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such
Convertible Securities for which adjustments of a Conversion Price have been or
are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this subparagraph 6D, no further
adjustment of such Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
6D(3) Change in Option price or Conversion Rate. Upon the
-----------------------------------------
happening of any of the following events, namely, if the purchase price provided
for in any Option referred to in subparagraph 6D(1), the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities referred to in subparagraph 6D(1) or 6D(2), or the rate
at which Convertible Securities referred to in subparagraph 6D(1) or 6D(2) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time
(including, but not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions
designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion Prices in effect at the
time of such event shall forthwith be readjusted to the Conversion Securities
still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially
granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment the
Conversion Prices then in effect hereunder are thereby reduced; and on the
expiration of any such Option or the termination of any such right to convert or
exchange such Convertible Securities, the Conversion Prices then in effect
hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Conversion Prices which would have
been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such
expiration or termination, never been issued.
6D(4) Stock Dividends. In case the Corporation shall declare a
---------------
dividend or make any other distribution upon any stock of the Corporation
payable in Common Stock (except for dividends or distributions upon the Common
Stock, adjustments for which are made under paragraph 6F), Options and
Convertible Securities, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as
the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution shall be
deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration.
6D(5) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common
-----------------------
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the
Corporation therefor, without deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation
in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than
cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the
Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, without
deduction of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or
concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith. In case
any Options shall be issued in connection with the issue and sale of other
securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integral transaction in
which no
15
<PAGE>
specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such
Options shall be deemed to have been issued for such consideration as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
6D(6) Record Date. In case the Corporation shall take a record
-----------
of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be
the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
6D(7) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
---------------
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Corporation, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this subparagraph
6D.
6E. Certain Issues of Common Stock and Other Events Excepted.
--------------------------------------------------------
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall not be
required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Prices in the case of the
issuance by the Corporation or its predecessor of:
(i) up to an aggregate of 270,000 shares (appropriately adjusted to
reflect the occurrence of any event described in subparagraph 6F) of Common
Stock to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Corporation in
connection with their service to the Corporation, including, but not limited to,
the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of options granted or
to be granted under the Catalog.com, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan and the
Catalog.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan;
(ii) Capital stock, or options or warrants to purchase capital stock,
issued to financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit
arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions;
(iii) Shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise of warrants outstanding as of the date of this Certificate of
Designations;
(iv) Shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in a public offering
prior to or in connection with which all outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock will be converted to Common Stock.
6F. Subdivision of Combination of Common Stock. In case the
------------------------------------------
Corporation shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or
otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into greater number of shares,
the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in
16
<PAGE>
case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased.
6G. Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital
----------------------------------
reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation shall
be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common
Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful
and adequate provisions shall be made whereby each holder of a share or shares
of Preferred Stock shall thereupon have the right to receive, upon the basis and
upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock immediately therefore receivable upon the conversion of such share
or shares of Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may
be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding
shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock
immediately therefore receivable upon such conversion had such reorganization or
reclassification not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions
shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end
that the provisions hereto (including without limitation provisions for
adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights.
6H. Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of a Conversion
--------------------
Price, then and in each such case the Corporation shall give written notice
thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by telex or telecopier to non-
U.S. residents, addressed to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock at the
address of such holder as shown on the books of the Corporation, which notice
shall state the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting forth
in reasonable detail the method upon which such calculation is based.
6I. Other Notices. In case at any time:
-------------
(1) the Corporation shall declare any dividend upon its
Common Stock payable in cash or stock or make any other distribution to the
holders of its Common Stock.
(2) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata
--- ----
to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any
class or other rights.
(3) there shall be any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or a
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into, or a sale of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity or entities; or
(4) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give, by first
class mail, postage prepaid, or by telex or telecopier to non-U.S. residents,
addressed to each holder of any shares of Preferred Stock at the address of such
holder as shown on the books of the Corporation, (a) at
17
<PAGE>
least 20 days' prior written notice of the date on which the books of the
Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect
of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20 days' prior written notice
of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the
foregoing clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled thereto and such notice in accordance with the foregoing
clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.
6J. Stock to be Reserved. The Corporation will at all times
--------------------
reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of issuance upon the conversion of Preferred Stock as herein provided,
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation
covenants that all shares of Common Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly
and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Corporation covenants that it will from time to
time take all such action as may be requisite to assure that the par value per
share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the Conversion
Prices in effect at the time. The Corporation will take all such action as may
be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued
without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirement of
any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The
Corporation will not take any action which results in any adjustment of the
Conversion Prices of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
issuable after such action upon conversion of the Preferred Stock would exceed
the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Certificate of
Incorporation.
6K. No Reissuance of Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock
--------------------------------
which are converted into shares of Common Stock shall be made without charge to
the holders thereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof, provided that the
Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a
name other than that of the holder of the Preferred Stock which is being
converted.
6L. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of
---------
Common Stock upon conversion of Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to
the holders thereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof, provided that the
Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a
name other than that of the holder of the Preferred Stock which is being
converted.
6M. Closing of Books. The Corporation will at no time close its
----------------
transfer books against the transfer of any Preferred Stock or of any shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Preferred
Stock in any manner which
18
<PAGE>
interferes with the timely conversion of such Preferred Stock, except as may
otherwise be required to comply with applicable securities laws.
6N. Definition of Common Stock. As used in this paragraph 6,
--------------------------
the term "Common Stock" shall mean and include the Corporation's authorized
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, as constituted on the date of filing of
these terms of the Preferred Stock, and shall also include any capital stock of
any class of the Corporation thereafter authorized which shall neither be
limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value in respect of the rights of
the holders thereof to participate in dividends nor entitled to a preference in
the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; provided that the shares of Common
Stock receivable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock shall include only
shares designated as Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of filing of
this instrument, or in case of any reorganization or reclassification of the
outstanding shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets provided for in
subparagraph 6G.
6O. Mandatory Conversion. If at any time the Corporation shall
--------------------
effect a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock
in which (i) the aggregate price paid for such shares by the public (prior to
the deduction of underwriting commissions and expenses) is at least $8,000,000
and (ii) which results in the market equity capitalization of the Corporation
being equal to or in excess of $35,000,000 and the listing of the Corporation's
securities on a national securities exchange or on The Nasdaq National Market
System, then effective upon the closing of the sale of such shares by the
Corporation pursuant to such public offering, all outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock shall automatically and without any further action on the part
of the Corporation convert to shares of Common Stock.
6P. No Impairment. The corporation will not, by amendment of
-------------
its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, 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 to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation, but ill at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this paragraph 6 and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against impairment.
7. Redemption. The shares of Preferred Stock shall be redeemed as
----------
follows:
7A. Mandatory Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock. On July
------------------------------------------------
31, 2004 (the "Redemption Date"), the Corporation shall redeem any outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
7B. Redemption Price and Payment. The shares of Series B
----------------------------
Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date shall be redeemed by
paying for each share in cash an amount equal to $9.00 per share plus an amount
equal to all dividends, declared but unpaid thereon, plus all Series B Accruing
Dividends, whether or not declared, computed to such Redemption Date, such
amount being referred to as the "Redemption Price." Such payment shall be made
in full on the Redemption Date to the holders entitled thereto.
19
<PAGE>
7C. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. In case the
------------------------------------------
Corporation shall at any time subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or
otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Redemption Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the
Redemption Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
7D. Redemption Mechanics. At least 20 but not more than 30 days
--------------------
prior to the Redemption Date, written notice (the "Redemption Notice") shall be
given by the Corporation by delivery in person, certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, telecopier or telex, to each holder of record (at the
close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the
Redemption Notice is given) of shares of Preferred Stock notifying such holder
of the redemption and specifying the Redemption Price, such Redemption Date, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder (computed on
a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of such shares held by all
holders thereof) and the place where said Redemption Price shall be payable.
The Redemption Notice shall be addressed to each holder at his address as shown
by the records of the Corporation. From and after the close of business on the
Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in the payment of the
Redemption Price, all rights of holders of shares to be redeemed on such
Redemption Date, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the
books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of
shares of Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the
total number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption
Date, the holders of such shares shall share ratably in any funds legally
available for redemption of such shares according to the respective amounts
which would be payable to them if the full number of shares to be redeemed on
such Redemption Date were actually redeemed. The shares of Preferred Stock
required to be redeemed but not so redeemed shall remain outstanding and
entitled to all rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter
when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for redemption of
such shares of Preferred Stock, such funds will be used, at the end of the next
succeeding fiscal quarter, to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion
thereof for which funds are then legally available, on the basis set forth
above.
7E. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares to be Retired. Any
---------------------------------------------------
shares of Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this paragraph 7 or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be canceled and shall
not under any circumstances be reissued; and the Corporation may from time to
time take such appropriate corporate action as may be necessary to reduce
accordingly the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock.
7F. Waiver of Redemption. For any redemption pursuant to
--------------------
subparagraph 7A, the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock may, by
written notice given to the Company not later than ten (10) days preceding the
Redemption Date, waive the redemption to occur on such Redemption Date.
20
<PAGE>
8. Amendments. No provision of these terms of the Preferred Stock
----------
may be amended, modified or waived without the written consent or affirmative
vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock.
