Preference") then held by them. If, upon the occurrence of such an event, The

be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Series C
Liquidation Preference, Series D Liquidation Preference, the Series E
Liquidation Preference and the Series F Liquidation Preference, as the case may
be, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for
distribution shall be distributed

                                       2
<PAGE>

ratably among the holders of the Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series
E Preferred and the Series F Preferred in proportion to the preferential amount
each such holder is entitled to receive.

                    (b)  After payment has been made to the holders of the
Series C, Series D, Series E and Series F Preferred of the full amounts to which
they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of Series A Preferred and
Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any
distribution of the assets or surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of
Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the amount of $0.0625 per
share (adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations),
plus all declared but unpaid dividends on each share of Series A Preferred (the
"Series A Liquidation Preference") then held by them and the amount of $0.25 per
share (adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations),
plus all declared but unpaid dividends on each share of Series B Preferred (the
"Series B Liquidation Preference") then held by them. If, upon the occurrence of
such an event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the
Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of
the full Series A Liquidation Preference and Series B Liquidation Preference, as
the case may be, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the
Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred in proportion to the preferential
amount each such holder is entitled to receive.

                    (c)  After the distributions described in subsections (a)
and (b) above have been paid in full, if assets remain in the corporation, the
remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution to shareholders
shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro
rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming
conversion of all such Preferred Stock).

                    (d)  For purposes of this Section 2, any acquisition of the
corporation by means of merger or other form of corporate reorganization in
which the outstanding shares of the corporation are exchanged for securities or
other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation
or its subsidiary (other than a reincorporation transaction) in which the
holders of capital stock of this corporation immediately prior thereto do not
hold a majority of the capital stock or voting securities of the surviving or
continuing entity immediately after giving effect thereto, or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the corporation shall be treated as a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation and shall entitle the
holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock to receive at the closing in cash,
securities or other property amounts as specified in Sections 2(a), 2(b) and
2(c) above.

                    (e)  Any securities to be delivered to the holders of the
Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(d) above shall be
valued as follows:

                         (i)  Securities not subject to investment letter or
other similar restrictions on free marketability:

                    (A)  If traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing
prices of the

                                       3
<PAGE>

securities on such exchange or market over the thirty (30)-day period ending
three (3) days prior to the closing;

                         (B)  If actively traded over-the-counter, the value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty
(30)-day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and

                         (C)  If there is no active public market, the value
shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the
voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

                              (ii) The method of valuation of securities subject
to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to
make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (i)
(A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the corporation and the
holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock.

               (f)  Notice of Transaction. The Corporation shall give each
holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of such impending transaction
not later than ten (10) days prior to the shareholders' meeting called to
approve such transaction, or ten (10) days prior to the closing of such
transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing
of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall
describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the
provisions of this Section 2, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such
holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event
take place sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given the first
notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation
has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however,
that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the holders of
Preferred Stock that are entitled to such notice rights or similar notice rights
and that represent at least a majority of the voting power of all then
outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock.

               (g)  Effect of Noncompliance. In the event the requirements of
                    -----------------------
this Section 2 are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either
cause the closing of the transaction to be postponed until such time as the
requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with, or cancel such
transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the
holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights,
preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first
notice referred to in Section 2(f) hereof.

          3.   Conversion.  The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have
conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights").

                                       4
<PAGE>

               (a)  Right to Convert.
                    ----------------

                         (i)  Each share of Series A Preferred shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of
issuance of such share, at the office of the corporation or any transfer agent
for such Series A Preferred, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.0625 for each share of
Series A Preferred by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such share.
The initial Conversion Price for shares of Series A Preferred shall be $0.0625
per share (the "Series A Conversion Price"), provided, however, that such Series
A Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection
3(c). Each share of Series B Preferred shall be convertible. at the option of
the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the

determined by dividing $0.25 for each share of Series B Preferred by the
Conversion Price at the time in effect for such share. The initial Conversion

Conversion Price"); provided, however, that such Series B Conversion Price shall
be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 3(c). Each share of Series C
Preferred shall be convertible. at the option of the holder thereof, at any time
after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the corporation or
any transfer agent for such Series C Preferred, into such number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.6813
for each share of Series C Preferred by the Conversion Price at the time in
effect for such share. The initial Conversion Price for shares of Series C
Preferred shall be $0.6813 per share (the "Series C Conversion Price");
provided, however, that such Series C Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment as set forth in subsection 3(c). Each share of Series D Preferred
shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the
date of issuance of such share, at the office of the corporation or any transfer

nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.00 for each
share of Series D Preferred by the Conversion Price at the time in effect for

be $1.00 per share (the "Series D Conversion Price"); provided, however, that
such Series D Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in

(the "Series E Conversion Price"); provided, however, that such Series E

Each share of Series F Preferred shall be convertible, at the option of the
holder thereof, at any time after the dale of issuance of such share, at the

<PAGE>

that such Series F Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth
in subsection 3(c).

                         (ii) Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically
be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Series A, Series B, Series C,
Series D, Series E or Series F Conversion Price (as the case may be), at the
time in effect for such Preferred Stock upon the consummation of the
corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a bona fide, firm commitment
underwriting pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which results in aggregate gross cash
proceeds to the corporation in excess of $30,000,000 and the public offering
price of which (prior to underwriting discounts, commissions or expenses) is not
less than $13.00 per share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends,
stock splits or recapitalizations). In the event of the automatic conversion of
the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as set forth in this section, the
person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of
Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until
immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

          (b)  Mechanics of Conversion.  Before any holder of Preferred Stock
               -----------------------
shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall
surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office
of the corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give
written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the corporation at its principal
corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein
the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock are to be issued.  The corporation shall, as soon as practicable
thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock,
or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as
aforesaid.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of
Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as
of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of
securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion will be
conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities
pursuant to such offering, unless otherwise designated in writing by the holders
of such Preferred Stock, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be
deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the
closing of such sale of securities.

          (c)  Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred.  The Conversion Price
               -----------------------------------------
of the Preferred shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                    (i)  (A) If the corporation, at any time or from time to
time after the date of the first issuance of shares of Series F Preferred (the
"Purchase Date"), shall issue any Additional Stock (as defined below) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion
Price, with respect to the Series A Preferred, the Series B Conversion Price,
with respect to the Series B Preferred, the Series C Conversion Price, with

                                       6
<PAGE>

respect to the Series C Preferred, the Series D Conversion Price, with respect
to the Series D Preferred, the Series E Conversion Price, with respect to the
Series E Preferred, or the Series F Conversion Price, with respect to the Series
F Preferred, on (the date of and immediately prior to the issuance of such
Additional Stock, then and in such event, the Series A, Series B, Series C,
Series D, Series E or Series F Conversion Price, as the case may be, shall be
reduced concurrently with such issuance, to a price determined by multiplying
such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received
by the corporation for the total number of shares of Additional Stock so issued
would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance plus the number of such shares of Additional Stock so issued. For the
purposes of this subsection, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis,
as if all shares of Preferred Stock and all convertible securities had been
fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance
and any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for the purchase of shares
of stock or convertible securities had been fully exercised immediately prior to
such issuance (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of
Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date, but not including in such
calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to
shares of Preferred Stock, convertible securities, or outstanding options,
warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of stock or convertible
securities, solely as a result of the adjustment of the Series A, Series B,
Series C, Series D, Series E or Series F Conversion Price, as the case may be,
(or other conversion ratios) resulting from the issuance of the Additional Stock
causing the adjustment in question. Immediately after any Additional Stock is
deemed issued, such Additional Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.

                              (B)  In each such case, no adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share,
provided that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of
this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at
the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the
adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in
subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to
this subsection 3(c)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A, Series
B, Series C, Series D, Series E or Series F Conversion Price above the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

                              (C)  In the case of the issuance of Common Stock
for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other
expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the corporation for any underwriting or
otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

                              (D)  In the case of the issuance of the Common
Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be

                                       7
<PAGE>

deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.

                         (E)  In the case of the issuance, whether before, on or
after the Purchase Date, of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
or exchangeable securities (which are not excluded from the definition of
Additional Stock), the following provisions shall apply:

                              1.   The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in subsections 3(c)(i)(C) and 3(c)(i)(D)), if
any, received by the corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the
Common Stock covered thereby.

                              2.   The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (assuming the
satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including,
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) for any such convertible or exchangeable
securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe
for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities
were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal
to the consideration, if any, received by the corporation for any such
securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account
of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional
consideration, if any, to be received by the corporation without taking into
account potential anti-dilution adjustments upon the conversion or exchange of
such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the
consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in
subsections 3(c)(i)(C)and 3(c)(i)(D)).

                              3.   In the event of any change in the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the
corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in
exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not
limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the
Conversion Price obtained with respect to the adjustment which was made upon the
issuance of such options, rights or securities, and any subsequent adjustments
based thereon, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further
adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment
of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.

                              4.   Upon the expiration of any such options or
rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
expiration of any options

                                       8
<PAGE>

or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion
Price obtained with respect to the adjustment which was made upon the issuance
of such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such
securities, and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall be recomputed to
reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and
convertible or exchangeable securities which remain outstanding) actually issued
upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of
such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such
securities. Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination
of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or
rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, only the number
of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or
rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise
of the options or rights related to such securities shall continue to be deemed
to be issued.

                              5.   All Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to
this subsection 3(c)(i)(E) shall be considered issued only at the lime of its
deemed issuance and any actual issuance of such stock shall not be an actual
issuance or a deemed issuance of the corporation's Common Stock under the
provisions of this Section 3; provided however, that in the case of any options
to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock which expire by their terms
not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of
the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such
options or rights, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner
provided in subsection (E)(4) above.

          (ii) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued

                         (A)  pursuant to a transaction described in subsection

                         (B)  up to 16,570,128 shares of Common Stock (or

                              (iii) In the event the corporation should at any
time or from time to time after the Purchase Dale fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter
referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration
by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof), then as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Conversion Price for each of the Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D,
Series E and Series F Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of
such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate
shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such
Common Stock Equivalents with the number of shares issuable with respect to
Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for
deemed issuances in subsection 3(c)(i)(E).

                              (iv)  If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such
combination, the Conversion Price for each of the Series A, Series B, Series C,
Series D, Series E and Series F Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased
so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each
share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding shares.

                         (d)  Other Distributions. In the event the corporation
                              -------------------
shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences
of indebtedness issued by the corporation or other persons, assets (excluding
cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 3(c)(iii),
then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 3(d), the holders of
the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Common Stock of the corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

                         (e)  Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to
                              -----------------
time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a
subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for
elsewhere in Sections 2 or 3) 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 Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case,
appropriate

                                       10
<PAGE>

adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including
adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares
purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after
that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

                    (f)  No Impairment. The corporation will not, by amendment
                         -------------
of its Articles 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 will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 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 the Preferred Stock against impairment.

                    (g)  No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
                         ------------------------------------------------------

                         (i)  No fractional shares shall be issued upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to
be issued upon conversion shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether
or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined
on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder has at
the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

                         (ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of any Conversion Price of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section
3, the corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The corporation shall, upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such
holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment,
(B) the Conversion Price for such Series of Preferred Stock at the lime in
effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of
other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a
share of Preferred Stock.

                    (h)  Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by
                         ----------------------
the corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, 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, the corporation
shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least twenty (20) days prior to
the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the

                                       11
<PAGE>

purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of
such dividend, distribution or right.

                         (i)  Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. 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, in
addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such
Preferred Stock, the corporation 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
purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the
requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to these articles.

                         (j)  Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of
                              -------
this Section 3 to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be
sent by United States airmail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of
record at his address appearing on the books of the corporation, and shall be
deemed given ten (10) days after deposit.

Preferred Stock, voting together on an as-if-converted basis, shall be entitled
to elect the remaining director.

director occurring among the directors elected by the holders of the Common
Stock, the Series A and Series B Preferred, the Series C Preferred, the Series D

by the holders of the Common Stock, the Series A and Series B Preferred, the
Series C Preferred, the Series D Preferred or the Common Stock and Preferred
Stock, as converted, as the case may be, or any director so elected as provided
in this Section 4(c), may be removed during the aforesaid term of office,
