<PAGE>
one vote in respect of each share of stock held of record by such holder on the
books of the Corporation for the election of directors and on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise
required by law or provided herein, holders of Common Stock shall vote together
with holders of Preferred Stock as a single class, subject to any special or
preferential voting rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock. There shall
be no cumulative voting.
5. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.
B. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to
limitations prescribed by law and the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, to provide
for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a
certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to
establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such
series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the
shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof.
The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall include,
but not be limited to, determination of the following:
1. The number of shares constituting that series and the
distinctive designation of that series;

3
<PAGE>
Dividends on outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be paid or
declared and set apart for payment before any dividends shall be paid or
declared and set apart for payment on the Common Stock with respect to the same
dividend period.
If upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the assets available for distribution to holders
of shares of Preferred Stock of all series shall be insufficient to pay such
holders the full preferential amount to which they are entitled, then such
assets shall be distributed ratably among the shares of all series of Preferred
Stock in accordance with the respective preferential amounts (including unpaid
cumulative dividends, if any) payable with respect thereto.
C. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The designations, powers,
number, preferences and relative, participating, option or other special rights,
and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock are set forth below:
1. Designation. 200,000 shares of the Preferred Stock shall be
designated and known as the "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock." Such number
of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors
after obtaining the consent of a majority in interest of the then outstanding
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no
decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or
warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.
2. Dividend Provisions.
(a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of any series
of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the holders
of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference
to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common
Stock or other securities and rights convertible solely into or entitling the
holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation) on the Common Stock of the Corporation, at the rate of
eight percent (8%) per annum. Such dividends shall be cumulative and accrue
annually on the last day of December (except that if any such date is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the
next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday), in each year,
commencing on December 31, 1998, for each full year and each portion of a year
that the share entitled to such dividend is outstanding.
(b) Such dividends shall be payable in shares (but not
fractional shares) of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
(c) In addition, when and if the Board of Directors shall
declare a dividend or distribution payable with respect to the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a dividend payable solely
in shares of Common Stock), the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to the amount of dividends per share as would be payable
on the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into
4
<PAGE>
which each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could then be converted
pursuant to Section 5 hereof (such number to be determined as of the record date
for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
dividend).
3. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary
(collectively, a "Liquidation"), before any payment of cash or distribution of
other property shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock (the "Common
Stockholders") or any other class or series of stock subordinate in Liquidation
Preference to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stockholders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the Original Purchase Price per share (as appropriately
adjusted for any combinations or divisions or similar recapitalizations
affecting the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock after issuance) (the "Series
B Liquidation Preference"), out of funds legally available therefor, and (ii) an
amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. As used herein, the
"Original Purchase Price" is $100 per share.
(b) If, upon any Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stockholders the full amounts to which they shall
be entitled, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stockholders shall share ratably
in any distribution of assets in proportion to the respective amounts which
would be payable to them in respect of the shares held by them if all amounts
payable to them in respect of such were paid in full pursuant to Section 3(a).
(c) After the distributions described in subsection (a)
above have been paid, subject to the rights of other series of Preferred Stock
which may from time to time come into existence, the remaining assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed
among the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of
Common Stock held by each.
(d) For purposes of this Section 3, a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned
by, or to include, (A) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by
means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any
merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the
Corporation), unless the Corporation's stockholders of record as constituted
immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such
acquisition (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the
Corporation's acquisition) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the
surviving or acquiring entity; or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation.
(i) In any of such events, if the consideration
received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its
fair market value, which shall be valued as follows:
5
<PAGE>
(A) Securities not subject to investment letter
or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:
(1) If traded on a securities exchange or
through Nasdaq (as defined below), the average of the closing prices of the
securities on such exchange during the thirty (30) day period ending three (3)
days prior to the closing;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the
average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the
thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the
fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the
holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject
to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate
or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair
market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders
of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of
such Preferred Stock.
(ii) In the event the requirements of this subsection
3(d) are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either:
(A) cause such closing to be postponed until such
time as the requirements of this Section 3 have been complied with; or
(B) cancel such transaction, in which event the
rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and
privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred
to in subsection 3(c)(iii) hereof.
(iii) The Corporation shall give each holder of record
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of such impending
transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders' meeting
called to approve such trans-action, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of
such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in
writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices
shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction
and the provisions of this Section 3, and the Corporation shall thereafter give
such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no
event take place sooner than twenty (20) 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.

4. Redemption.
(a) At any time on or after the second anniversary of the
date upon which any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were first
issued (the "Purchase Date"), the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock on any date set by the Board of Directors (the
"Redemption Date") by paying an amount in cash equal to the then applicable
Liquidation Preference and accrued and unpaid dividends to the Redemption Date.
The Corporation may exercise such option only if (i) the Common Stock shall be
listed on The Nasdaq National Market System or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market
(collectively, "Nasdaq"), (ii) the Common Stock shall have had an average weekly
sales volume during each of the four full calendar weeks prior to the week
during which the redemption notice is given of at least 100,000 shares, and
(iii) for twenty (20) of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days during the 90
days prior to the Redemption Date, the Closing Price (as defined below) of the
Common Stock exceeds $9.75. The "Closing Price" for each trading day shall be
(i) the closing price if the security is traded on a national securities
exchange, or (ii) if the security is quoted on Nasdaq, the average of the high
bid and low asked prices on such day as reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq, or (iii) if the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. through Nasdaq shall not have reported any bid and
asked prices for the Common Stock on such day, the average of the bid and asked
prices for such day as furnished by any NYSE member firm selected from time to
time by the Corporation for such purpose.
(b) To exercise its redemption right under this Paragraph
4, the Corporation must, not more than ninety (90) nor less than forty-five (45)
days prior to the Redemption Date (the "Notice Period"), give notice by first
class mail, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such stockholders at
their last addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation. Each such
notice of redemption shall specify the Redemption Date; the redemption price;
the place or places for payment or delivery; that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the certificates representing shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed; that accrued but unpaid dividends to
the Redemption Date will be paid on the Redemption Date; that the holders of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to exercise their
Conversion Rights (as defined below) until the last day of the Notice Period;
and that on and after the Redemption Date, dividends will cease to accrue on
such shares. If a dividend with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock has been declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and if the
Redemption Date with respect to a redemption of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock falls after the dividend record date established by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation with respect to such dividend, but prior to the related
dividend payment date, the record holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock on such record date will be entitled to receive the dividend payable on
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, notwithstanding the redemption
thereof.
Any notice which is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such
notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to the holders of any shares
designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On
or after the Redemption Date, as stated in such notice, each holder of the
shares of Series B Convertible
7
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing
such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall
thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the redemption price. If less than
all shares represented by any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. If on the
Redemption Date the funds necessary for the redemption shall be available
therefor and shall have been irrevocably deposited with the transfer agent for
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, then, notwithstanding that the
certificates evidencing any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to
the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so called for redemption
shall cease to accrue after the Redemption Date, such shares shall no longer be
deemed outstanding, and all rights whatsoever with respect to the shares so
called for redemption (except the right of the holders to receive any Common
Stock issuable and any cash payable, without interest, upon surrender of their
certificates therefor) shall terminate.
(c) The Corporation shall not be liable to pay any tax
which may become due or payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue
and delivery upon redemption of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the record holder of the
shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed. In addition,
the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares unless
and until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have (i)
paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, (ii) established to the
satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or (iii) agreed in
writing to indemnify the Corporation from and against any liability arising from
a failure to pay or withhold such tax, as well as any interest and penalty
related thereto.
5. Conversion. The holders of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion
Rights"):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at
any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the
Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series
B Liquidation Preference by the conversion price applicable to such share (the
"Conversion Price"), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the
certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per
share for shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be $7.50;
provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 5(d).
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of (i) at any time
following the five-year anniversary of the date of the filing of this
Certificate of Designations if, at such time, the Corporation and its Common
Stock meet the criteria set forth in the second sentence of Section 4(a) above,
and (ii) the Corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the public offering price of which is not
8
<PAGE>
less than $7.50 per share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends,
combinations, splits or recapitalization) and with aggregate gross proceeds of
not less than $10,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering").
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares
of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall give written
notice 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 Series B Convertible 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 Series B Convertible
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 a Qualified Public
Offering, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with
the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which
event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of
such sale of securities.
(d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for
Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as follows:
(i)
(A) If the Corporation shall issue, after the
Purchase Date, any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or
for a consideration per share less than the Closing Price on such date, the
Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such
issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be
adjusted to a price equal to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (w) the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(assuming the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock and including shares issued or issuable pursuant to Section
5(d)(ii)(B)) and (x) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at
such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(assuming the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock and including shares issued or issuable pursuant to Section
5(d)(ii)(B)) and (z) the number of shares of such Additional Stock.
9
<PAGE>
(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 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 such Conversion Price
pursuant to this subsection 5(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the
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 deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by
the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before,
on or after the applicable 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, the following provisions shall
apply for all purposes of this subsection 5(d)(i) and subsection 5(d)(ii):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares
of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (to the extent then exercisable) 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 5(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)), if any, received by the Corporation upon
the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise 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 (to the extent
then convertible or exchangeable) 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 upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or
10
<PAGE>
rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided
in subsections 5(d)(i)(C) and (d)(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 of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, to the extent in
any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, 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 or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable
securities, the Conversion Price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, to
the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed
to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and
convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) 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.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock
deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections
5(d)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change,
termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection
5(d)(i)(E)(3) or (4).
(ii) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common
Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 5(d)(i)(E))
by the Corporation after the Purchase Date to Affiliates of Endorex or
directors, officers, employees or agents of such Affiliates, other than shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants or directors of the
Corporation directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan
approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (provided that the sum of
such number of shares of Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to such stock
option plan or restricted stock plan shall in no event represent more than
fifteen percent (15%) of the authorized number of Common Stock). "Affiliates"
shall mean, with respect to any party, any entity that, directly or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under
common control with such party. For purposes of this definition, "control" means
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an
entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise.
(iii) In the event the Corporation should at any time
or from time to time after the Purchase Date 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
11
<PAGE>
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 of the Series B Convertible 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 of 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 5(d)(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 the Series B Convertible 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.
(e) 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 5(d)(iii),
then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 5(e), the holders of
the Series B Convertible 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 Series B
Convertible 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.
(f) 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
this Section 5 or Section 3) provision shall be made so that the holders of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the number of shares
of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to
which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been
entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with
respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 5
(including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of
shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock)
shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(g) 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
12
<PAGE>
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 5 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 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
against impairment.
(h) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
conversion of any share or shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock,
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued 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
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the holder is 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 the Conversion Price of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 5, 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 Series B Convertible 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 Series B
Convertible 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 time 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
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
(i) 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 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, at least 20
days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which
any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
(j) 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 Series B Convertible 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 Series B Convertible
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 Series B Convertible 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
13
<PAGE>
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
stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended.
(k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 5 to be given to the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be deemed given on the date of service if served personally on the
party to whom notice is to be given or on the date of transmittal of services
via telecopy to the party to whom notice is to be given and addressed to each
holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Corporation.
6. Voting Rights.
(a) The holder of each share of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock
into which such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could then be
converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting
rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common
Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of
any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation, and
shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect
to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote,
except as greater rights are provided by law. Fractional votes shall not,
however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-
converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be
rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).
(b) In any vote by the holders of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock acting as a class, each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock.
7. Protective Provisions. Subject to the rights of any series
of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as
any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written
consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as
two series:
(a) increase or decrease the authorized or outstanding
number of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, so
as to affect adversely the shares; or
(b) authorize or issue any other equity security, or
security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having a
preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock with respect to voting, dividends, liquidation or redemption,
respectively.
14
<PAGE>
8. Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In the event any
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to
Section 5 hereof, the shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be
reissuable by the Corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of
the Corporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding
reduction in the Corporation's authorized capital stock.
D. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The designations, powers,
number, preferences and relative, participating, option or other special rights,
and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock are set forth below:
1. Designation. 200,000 shares of the Preferred Stock shall be
designated and known as the "Series C Convertible Preferred Stock." Such number
of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors
after obtaining the consent of a majority in interest of the then outstanding
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no
decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or
warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.
2. Dividend Provisions.
(a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of any series
of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the holders
of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference
to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common
Stock or other securities and rights convertible solely into or entitling the
holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation) on the Common Stock of the Corporation, at the rate of
seven percent (7%) per annum. Such dividends shall be cumulative and accrue
annually on the last day of December (except that if any such date is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the
next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday), in each year,
commencing on December 31, 1998, for each full year and each portion of a year
that the share entitled to such dividend is outstanding.
(b) Such dividends shall be payable in shares (but not
fractional shares) of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
(c) In addition, when and if the Board of Directors shall
declare a dividend or distribution payable with respect to the then outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a dividend payable solely
in shares of Common Stock), the holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to the amount of dividends per share as would be payable
on the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which each share of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock could then be converted pursuant to Section
5 hereof (such number to be determined as of the record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend).
15
<PAGE>
3. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary
(collectively, a "Liquidation"), before any payment of cash or distribution of
other property shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock (the "Common
Stockholders") or any other class or series of stock subordinate in Liquidation
Preference to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stockholders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the
Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount
equal to the sum of (i) the Original Purchase Price per share (as appropriately
adjusted for any combinations or divisions or similar recapitalizations
affecting the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock after issuance) (the "Series
C Liquidation Preference"), out of funds legally available therefor, and (ii) an
amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends thereon. As used herein, the
"Original Purchase Price" is $100 per share.
(b) If, upon any Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stockholders the full amounts to which they shall
be entitled, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stockholders shall share ratably
in any distribution of assets in proportion to the respective amounts which
would be payable to them in respect of the shares held by them if all amounts
payable to them in respect of such were paid in full pursuant to Section 3(a).
(c) After the distributions described in subsection (a)
above have been paid, subject to the rights of other series of Preferred Stock
which may from time to time come into existence, the remaining assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed
among the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of
Common Stock held by each.
(d) For purposes of this Section 3, a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned
by, or to include, (A) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by
means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any
merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the
Corporation), unless the Corporation's stockholders of record as constituted
immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such
acquisition (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the
Corporation's acquisition) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the
surviving or acquiring entity; or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation.
(i) In any of such events, if the consideration
received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its
fair market value, which shall be valued as follows:
(A) Securities not subject to investment letter
or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:
16
<PAGE>
(1) If traded on a securities exchange or
through Nasdaq (as defined below), the average of the closing prices of the
securities on such exchange during the thirty (30) day period ending three (3)
days prior to the closing;
(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the
average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the
thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(3) If there is no active public market, the
fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the
holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject
to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate
or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair
market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders
of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of
such Preferred Stock.
(ii) In the event the requirements of this subsection
3(d) are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either:
(A) cause such closing to be postponed until such
time as the requirements of this Section 3 have been complied with; or
(B) cancel such transaction, in which event the
rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and
privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred
to in subsection 3(d)(iii) hereof.
(iii) The Corporation shall give each holder of record
of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of such impending
transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders' meeting
called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of
such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in
writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices
shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction
and the provisions of this Section 3, and the Corporation shall thereafter give
such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no
event take place sooner than twenty (20) 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.
17
<PAGE>
4. Exchange.
(a) At any time on or after the date upon which any shares
of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were first issued (the "Purchase Date"),
each holder of record of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may, at its
option, on one occasion, exchange (the "Exchange Right") the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock for shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of Endorex Newco, Ltd., a Bermuda corporation ("Newco"), formed by the
Corporation and Elan International Systems, Ltd., such that the aggregate
percentage ownership of all holders of record of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock becomes fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Newco common
stock (the "Newco Common Stock"), provided that all holders of record of Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock shall elect to exercise the Exchange Right at the
same time and shall have not exercised any portion of the Conversion Rights (as
defined herein).
(b) To exercise the Exchange Right under this Paragraph 4,
each holder of record of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, not more than
ninety (90) nor less than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which the
Exchange Right is to be exercised (the "Exchange Date"), shall give notice by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporation. Each such notice of
exchange shall specify the Exchange Date; the place or places for delivery; that
accrued but unpaid dividends to the Exchange Date are to be paid on the Exchange
Date; and that on and after the Exchange Date, such shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be surrendered and extinguished, and all
rights whatsoever with respect to such shares, including any rights of
conversion, shall terminate. On or after the Exchange Date, as stated in such
notice, each holder of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall
surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place
designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive such number
of shares of Newco Common Stock so as to increase the aggregate percentage
ownership of all holders of record of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to
50% of the then outstanding shares of Newco Common Stock.
(c) Neither the Corporation nor Newco shall be liable to
pay any tax which may become due or payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue and delivery upon exchange of the Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock for the Newco Common Stock in a name other than that of the record holder
of the shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock being exchanged. In
addition, neither the Corporation nor Newco shall be required to issue or
deliver any such shares unless and until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have (i) paid to the Corporation or Newco the amount of
any such tax, (ii) established to the satisfaction of the Corporation or Newco
that such tax has been paid or (iii) agreed in writing to indemnify the
Corporation and Newco from and against any liability arising from a failure to
pay or withhold such tax, as well as any interest and penalty related thereto.
5. Conversion. The holders of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights (the "Conversion Rights") as
follows:
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at
any time two years after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of
the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is
18
<PAGE>
determined by dividing the Series C Liquidation Preference by the conversion
price applicable to such share (the "Conversion Price"), determined as hereafter
provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion;
provided, however, that in no event shall any holder of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock be entitled to convert his, her or its shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock in excess of that number of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and
its affiliates to exceed nineteen and nine-tenths percent (19.9%) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock following such conversion. For purposes of
the foregoing provision, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such provision is
being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would
be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted shares of Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its
affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted
portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on
conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially
owned by the holder and its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 5(a), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be $9.00; provided, however, that the
Conversion Price for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject
to adjustment as set forth in subsection 5(d).
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of (i) October 21, 2002
and (ii) the Corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the public offering price of which is not
less than $9.00 per share (adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends,
combinations, splits or recapitalization) and with aggregate gross proceeds of
not less than $10,000,000 (a "Qualified Public Offering").
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares
of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall give written
notice 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 Series C Convertible 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 Series C Convertible
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 a Qualified Public
Offering, the conversion
19
<PAGE>
may, at the option of any holder tendering Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the
sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s)
entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of
securities.
(d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for
Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time as follows:
(i)
(A) If the Corporation shall issue, after the
Purchase Date, any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or
for a consideration per share less than the Closing Price on such date, the
Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such
issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be
adjusted to a price equal to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (w) the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(assuming the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock and including shares issued or issuable pursuant to Section
5(d)(ii)(B)) and (x) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at
such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(assuming the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock and including shares issued or issuable pursuant to Section
5(d)(ii)(B)) and (z) the number of shares of such Additional Stock.
(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock 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 such Conversion Price
pursuant to this subsection 5(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the
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
20
<PAGE>
shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of
Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before,
on or after the applicable 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, the following provisions shall
apply for all purposes of this subsection 5(d)(i) and subsection 5(d)(ii):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares
of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (to the extent then exercisable) 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 5(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)), if any, received by the Corporation upon
the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise 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 (to the extent
then convertible or exchangeable) 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 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 5(d)(i)(C) and (d)(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 of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, to the extent in
any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, 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 or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable
securities, the Conversion Price of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, to
the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed
to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and
21
<PAGE>
convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) 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.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock
deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections
5(d)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change,
termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection
5(d)(i)(E)(3) or (4).
(ii) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of
Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection
5(d)(i)(E)) by the Corporation after the Purchase Date to Affiliates of the
Corporation or directors, officers, employees or agents of such Affiliates,
other than shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants
or directors of the Corporation directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or
restricted stock plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
(provided that the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock issuable or
issued pursuant to such stock option plan or restricted stock plan shall in no
event represent more than fifteen percent (15%) of the authorized number of
shares of Common Stock). "Affiliates" shall mean, with respect to any party, any
entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
or is controlled by or is under common control with such party. For purposes of
this definition, "control" means the power to direct or cause the direction of
the management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
(iii) In the event the Corporation should at any time
or from time to time after the Purchase Date 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 of the Series C Convertible 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 of 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 5(d)(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 the Series C Convertible 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.

(e) 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 5(d)(iii),
then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 5(e), the holders of
the Series C Convertible 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 Series C
Convertible 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.
(f) 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
this Section 5 or Section 3) provision shall be made so that the holders of the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock the number of shares
of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to
which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been
entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with
respect to the rights of the holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 5
(including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of
shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock)
shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(g) 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 will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 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 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
against impairment.
(h) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
conversion of any share or shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock,
and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued 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
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock the holder is 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 the Conversion Price of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 5, 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
23
<PAGE>
Series C Convertible 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 Series C Convertible 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 time 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 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
(i) 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 Series C Convertible 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 purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right.
(j) 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 Series C Convertible 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 Series C Convertible
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 Series C Convertible 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
stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended.
(k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this
Section 5 to be given to the holders of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be deemed given (i) on the date of service if served personally on
the party to whom notice is to be given, or (ii) on the date of transmittal of
such notice if sent via telecopy to the party to whom notice is to be given and
addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the
Corporation, or (iii) two business days following the date of mailing if such
notice is sent by recognized overnight courier or by regular postal service.
6. Voting Rights. In any vote by the holders of the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock acting as a class, each holder of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
7. Protective Provisions. Subject to the rights of any series
of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as
any shares of
24
<PAGE>
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not
without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by
law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class:
(i) increase or decrease the authorized or outstanding
number of the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, so
as to affect adversely the shares; or
(ii) authorize or issue any other equity security, or
security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having a
preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock with respect to voting, dividends, liquidation or redemption,
respectively.
8. Status of Converted or Exchanged Stock. In the event any
shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall be exchanged pursuant to
Section 4 or converted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the shares so exchanged or
converted shall be cancelled and shall not be reissuable by the Corporation. The
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation shall be
appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation's
authorized capital stock.

ARTICLE VII
Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the

jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof, or on
25
<PAGE>
the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under
the provisions of section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed
for the Corporation under the provisions of section 279 of Title 8 of the
Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of
the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may
be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in

ARTICLE VIII
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change, or repeal
any provisions herein contained, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by
statute, and all rights, powers, privileges, and discretionary authority granted
or conferred herein upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation.
ARTICLE IX
A Director of the Corporation shall have no personal liability to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary
duty as a Director; provided, however, this Article shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a Director (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) for the unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases under
Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; or (iv) for
any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit.
If the 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 of the
Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the
stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or modification.
ARTICLE X
The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as amended from time to time,
indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed
26
<PAGE>
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become,
a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to
serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of,
or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of
any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom.
Indemnification may include payment by the Corporation of expenses in
defending an action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified to
repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not
entitled to indemnification under this Article, which undertaking may be
accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make such
repayment.
The Corporation shall not indemnify any such person seeking
indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such person unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation.
The indemnification rights provided in this Article (i) shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled
under any law, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, and (ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such persons. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized
from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to
other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the
Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those
set forth in this Article.
