ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
INTRODUCTION
Telident designs, manufactures and markets proprietary hardware and software
systems which provide the exact location of a 911 telephone call to the
emergency dispatcher at the public safety answering point (PSAP) who receives
the call. The Company's systems provide information which can speed the response
time to a 911 call, reduce the costs associated with responses to incorrect
locations and improve the safety of individuals within a private branch exchange
(PBX) telephone system. In addition, the Company manufactures and markets
network hardware that provides switching, selective routing and data interfacing
capabilities to public and private telephone networks and city, county and state
government agencies.
The Company's products utilize existing Enhanced 911 (E911) technology which
automatically transmits both the caller's telephone number and address to the
nearest emergency dispatcher or public safety answering point (PSAP). Currently
over two-thirds of the telephone systems in the U.S. have access to E911
service. However, the E911 service generally does not have the ability to
pinpoint a caller's location within a PBX system without equipment such as that
offered by the Company. Consequently, calls originating within a PBX transmit
only the main PBX telephone number and main address where the PBX is physically
located. Presently five states across the U.S. have adopted legislation
mandating the modification of PBX systems to make them fully compatible with the
E911 system. Telident's patented systems create and manage a sophisticated
database of information to monitor 911 calls within a PBX system and transmit
the precise location, and generally the caller's name, to the PSAP through the
existing E911 system.
HISTORY
The development of the emergency response telephone network, 911, began in the
late 1960's under the direction of AT&T in conjunction with Bell Labs. The 911
network was designed using the fundamental theory that each caller could be
identified by the specific pair of wires connecting the caller with the
telephone company. This design theory mirrored the long distance routing network
that AT&T had previously developed. This design theory has created the 911
incompatibility problem that exists with PBX systems today. PBX systems share
multiple connections (pairs of wires), and the ability to pinpoint the caller
behind a business telephone system is lost to the network. The designers of the
Enhanced 911 network may not have envisioned the popularity and deployment of
PBX systems in the United States. Throughout the 1970's, 911 systems were
deployed with voice transmission only. In response to public demand for more
precise information as to the callers location, development of the Enhanced 911
network began in the early 1980's. However, widespread use of PBX systems did
not begin until after the breakup of AT&T in 1983.
STRATEGY
The Company was incorporated under the Minnesota Business Corporation Act in
July 1983 to develop and market electronic equipment for the telephone
communications industry. Between 1983-85, Telident developed the Status
Recognition Unit System I (the SRU(1)), a system which permits operating
telephone companies to increase dedicated phone services capabilities. Based on
a review of the market for the SRU(1), Telident determined that there was a
significant market opportunity for products, based on the technology of the
SRU(1), which could expand the capabilities, safety and reliability of emergency
911
1
<PAGE>
service systems. Since 1989, the Company's goal has been to become a leading
designer of systems which enable precise identification of the location of 911
callers within a PBX system and state-of-the-art hardware and software for the
911 public safety market.
To achieve this goal, the Company provides its customers with a total E911
solution, providing the hardware, software and service components to meet their
emergency 911 information needs. For example, the Company provides PBX users:
(i) equipment (the STS) required to enable the PBX to be compatible with E911
service; (ii) software and services which enable PBX users to maintain the
required database; and (iii) additional products, such as the TRAX OSN-TM-
software which expands the capabilities of a PBX system utilizing the STS so
that it automatically provides the precise location of the caller within the
network to both the appropriate PSAP and to on-site personnel, such as security
guards.
To distribute its products, Telident's strategy is to develop national
distribution capabilities designed to provide sales support for its E911
products and services and future products as they may be developed or acquired
and to develop distribution relationships with major distributors of PBX
equipment and services and telephone companies. The Company currently has
offices in: Minneapolis, Minnesota; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; and San
Francisco, California. Telident has distribution agreements with Fujitsu
Business Communications Systems, Ericsson GE Mobile Communications, Inc., Mitel,
Northern Telecom, Siemens-Rolm, Intecom, and Sprint/United Telephone and has
joint marketing agreements with Pacific Bell and BellSouth.
PRODUCTS
9-1-1 STS (STATION TRANSLATION SYSTEM)
The 9-1-1 STS-TM- (STS) is a product designed for use with PBX systems. A
PBX is a switching center maintained by an organization, such as an
apartment complex, university, office building or government office
complex, where calls to and from phone locations are routed to their
destination. The STS is designed to provide for the automatic
identification for 911 purposes of the location of all callers within
the PBX area. The STS provides automatic identification to the PSAP of
the location of the caller within a PBX system. The Company has
satisfactorily tested the compatibility of the STS with the PBX
equipment of nine manufacturers, who account for over 90% of domestic
PBX sales.
TRAX OSN-TM- is a software program to enhance the STS. With TRAX OSN, the
STS will provide automatic identification to the PSAP of the location of
the caller within a PBX system and simultaneously will provide on-site
notification of the call to a location within the organization, such as a
security desk.
9-1-1 NCS (NETWORK CONTROL SYSTEM)
The 9-1-1 NCS-TM- (NCS) is a microprocessor-based unit that selectively
routes a 911 call originated from any station in the 911 service area to
the correct PSAP designated to serve the originating station. Because NCS
units can be distributed throughout the telephone network, Telident
believes trunking costs can be minimized for the telephone operating
company and Enhanced 911 service which is often taken for granted in large
metropolitan areas may more readily be made available to rural America.
2
<PAGE>
The NCS is used to enable central office switches to interface with one
another in order to direct 911 calls from one central switch area to
another while maintaining the ability to automatically identify the address
or location of the caller for the PSAP operator. The Telident NCS is
compatible with both the central office switch equipment and the PSAP
equipment generally in place today. The NCS has been designed to
accommodate future enhancements within the 911 network. The Company
believes the lower cost of the NCS compared to the cost of software
upgrades for central switches or installing new digital central office
switches, and the ability to reduce trunking cost by distributing the
selective router (the NCS) throughout the network should enable rural
telcos (telephone companies) and newly emerging "private 911 networks", to
expand E911 services to all of their customers.
9-1-1 ACS (ANI CONTROL SYSTEM)
The 9-1-1 ACS-TM-, or ANI Control System, located at the PSAP, will take an
incoming 911 call and deliver the voice portion of the call to the PSAP
operator's telephone and the telephone signaling portion (which contains
the incoming caller's telephone number) to a database where the caller's
location can be obtained and relayed to the PSAP operator.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
The Company markets its 911 products through distribution agreements with major
PBX manufacturers; PBX distributors; local, state and national public safety
agencies; service providers, including certain of the regional Bell operating
companies and major independent telcos; major telephone equipment manufacturers;
and manufacturers' representatives. Customers for these products include PBX
manufacturers, public service agencies, colleges and universities, businesses
with multi-story or multi-building facilities, regional Bell operating
companies, the military, computer-aided dispatch manufacturers, system
integrators, independent telcos, telco consulting and engineering firms,
government agencies, and telephone switch manufacturers.
A knowledge of existing telephone system central office switching equipment and
operations is required in the development of applications for the Company's
products. Therefore, the Company's sales persons need technical support from
senior application engineers to properly evaluate customer requirements. The
Company employs a Vice President of Sales, and five sales personnel, all of whom
have significant prior employment experience in the telephone industry.
E911 regulatory issues, such as the actions of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in the 50 states and
other various state legislatures affect potential markets for the Company's
products, particularly its NCS and STS products. For example, Colorado, Texas,
Illinois, Washington and Mississippi have passed state laws or enacted
regulations mandating (to various degrees) the modification of PBX systems to
make them fully compatible with the E911 system. These actions favorably impact
the market for the STS product. Similarly, in September 1994, the FCC issued a
Notice of Proposed Rule Making (the publication for comment of a rule the FCC
intends to promulgate), the original comment period for which ended in March
1995, which, if implemented, could mandate that every new PBX sold nationwide
and certain existing PBXs comply with E911 system requirements.
3
<PAGE>
The market for the NCS product is sensitive to the structure of telephone
company tariffs (rates approved by state agencies) for E911 services, which vary
from state to state. It is also sensitive to various state funding mechanisms
for E911 services. There are 15 states where payment for E911 network services
are at the county level. Counties usually experience a significant financial
advantage by purchasing the NCS. Therefore, NCS marketing will continue to
concentrate on those states where the tariff and funding mechanisms are more
favorable. Furthermore, the Company will investigate and pursue those
opportunities where large campuses, military bases and other "private 911
networks" requirements exist.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company maintains an engineering department to design and develop new
products for the telephone industry and to support developments of new
application software to broaden applications of its products. The Company
employs a Vice President of Advanced Engineering, and one electrical engineer to
manage projects using contract development companies. The R&D portion of the
Company's development expenditures for fiscal 1997 and 1996 were $262,725 and
$157,922, respectively. New R&D projects will be initiated and funded as
customer requirements and commitments are realized.
MANUFACTURING
Telident conducts final assembly and testing along with receiving and shipping
of its products. The Company subcontracts all of its equipment subassembly
fabrication to local manufacturers and assembly houses who are equipped and
qualified to perform this work and produce high quality printed circuit board
assembly products. The Company is not dependent on any one of its
subcontractors. The component electronic parts required for assembly of the
Company's products are available from a number of different sources. The
Company is currently evaluating and qualifying contract manufacturers as part of
a transition to complete outsourced turnkey manufacturing.
COMPETITION
The Company is aware of two competitors, which market a product which competes
with the Company's STS product. The competitive products are more expensive than
the STS product and the Company believes they have a more limited compatibility
with available PBXs than the Company's offering. The Company's STS product is
compatible with over 90% of the PBXs in the United States. The Company's NCS and
ACS products are designed to be competitive with more costly solutions offered
by other manufacturers.
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The Company has obtained United States patents on its STS, and SRU1 designs
which expire on August 10, 2010 and December 12, 2005, respectively. The
Company has applied for international patents with respect to the STS design.
The Company intends to continue to seek patents on its products when
appropriate. In addition, the Company protects its trade secrets by, among
other things, maintaining nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with its
contractors, distributors, employees, and other individuals and companies, who
are provided Company's proprietary information. The Company's trademarks are as
follows: 9-1-1 STS-TM-, TRAX OSN-TM-, 9-1-1 NCS-TM-, and 9-1-1 ACS-TM-.
REGULATION
The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that certain
communication devices be tested by a certified facility prior to receiving FCC
approval. Testing is designed to demonstrate that devices will not cause
harmful interference to telephone communications. In addition, certain
jurisdictions may require that the Company's products meet Underwriters'
Laboratory (UL) requirements. The Company's equipment meets both FCC and UL
requirements.

FISCAL 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1996
The Company had net sales in fiscal 1997 of $1,754,451 compared with $2,454,807
for 1996, a decrease of 28.5%. The decline in total revenues for fiscal 1997 was
the result of several factors, including a significant reduction in the
Company's workforce, a change in the Company's senior management, the ramp-up
requirements of new sales people and a slowdown in Station Translation System
("STS") shipments to match the Company's new customer fulfillment procedures.
One time charges of approximately $1,551,000 were incurred in the third and
fourth quarters of fiscal 1997, to revalue inventory and other assets, and to
pay the costs associated with the termination of employees. STS product sales
accounted for 88% of the sales in the 1997 period compared to 80% in the 1996
period. Maintenance revenues attributable to discontinued Cantus products
amounted to 3% of sales in fiscal 1997 compared to 12% in the fiscal 1996
period. The Company's other products, including the ANI Control System ("ACS")
and the Network Control System ("NCS"), collectively accounted for 9% of sales
in the 1997 period compared to 8% of sales in the 1996 period. At June 30,
1997, the Company had a backlog of orders of approximately $811,000.
Gross profit decreased $720,130 or 43.3% in fiscal 1997, as a result of lower
sales and the $240,245 inventory revaluation. Excluding the revaluation charge,
the gross margin percentage in fiscal 1997 was 67.5% versus 67.8% in fiscal
1996. The revaluation charge is primarily due to inventory items being written
off due to changes in bills-of-materials and the discontinuation of a product
line.

<PAGE>
Operating expenses increased from $3,014,005 in fiscal 1996 to $3,858,300 during
fiscal 1997, an increase of $844,295 or 28.0% due to:
- Sales and marketing expenses increased $272,470 in fiscal 1997, a
27.9% increase. The Company steadily increased its marketing
expenses, as well as the size of its sales and marketing staff,
reaching a peak of five regional sales offices in Atlanta, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas to assist in the sales by
the Company's distributors. The offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles
were eventually closed.
- Research and development expenses increased $13,143 or 1.3% in the
1997 period compared to the 1996 period.
- General and administrative expenses for fiscal 1997 increased
$167,163, or 16.3% compared to the similar 1996 period. These
increases were due in part to an increase in rent, and professional
fees.
- Restructuring charges of $391,519 were recorded in the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 as a result of a reorganization of the Company's
personnel and certain write downs of other assets.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased $195,281 in the 1997 period
compared to the 1996 period. The Company experienced a decrease in interest
expense for fiscal 1997 as a result of decreases in bank borrowings made
possible by a public offering of 1,150,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in August of 1996 which generated net proceeds of $2.9 million, and the
conversion of debt into the Company's common stock.
Debt conversion expense relates to the induced conversion of convertible
debentures and accrued interest into 779,800 shares of common stock and the
issuance of warrants to purchase 389,900 shares of common stock at $1.41 per
share. The debt conversion expense did not impact cash flows.
FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995
The Company had net sales in 1996 of $2,454,807 compared with $2,283,959 for
1995, an increase of 7.5%. Station Translation System ("STS") product sales
accounted for 80% of the sales in the 1996 period compared to 73% in the 1995
period. The Company acquired Cantus Corporation in November 1994. Revenues
attributable to this acquisition during the 1996 period amounted to 12% of sales
compared to 18% in the 1995 period. The Company's other products, including the
ANI Control System ("ACS") and the Network Control System ("NCS"), collectively
accounted for 8% of sales in the 1996 period compared to 9% of sales in the 1995
period. The increase in total revenues for the 1996 period was attributable to
the increase in unit sales of the STS products through direct sales, Private
Branch Exchange ("PBX") manufacturers and value-added resellers. At June 30,
1996, the Company had a backlog of orders for one ACS unit and forty-two STS
units (approximately $500,000 of revenues).
Gross profit increased from $1,606,270 in fiscal 1995 to $1,663,274 during
fiscal 1996, or a 3.5% increase, reflecting the higher sales in 1996. Gross
margin decreased to 67.8% of sales in fiscal 1996 from 70.3% in 1995, due to the
increase in hardware sales in the public safety markets which have lower margins
than do software sales.
Operating expenses increased from $2,148,358 in fiscal 1995 to $3,014,005 during
fiscal 1996, an increase of $865,647 or 40.3%. Sales and marketing expenses
increased $237,347 in fiscal 1996, a 32.1% increase. The Company steadily
increased its marketing expenses, as well as the size of its sales and marketing
staff, adding three sales offices in Atlanta, San Francisco and Los Angeles to
assist in sales by the Company's distributors.
8
<PAGE>
Research and development expenses increased $535,846 or 111.8% in the 1996
period compared to the 1995 period, due to the addition of a Vice President of
Operations, three software programmers (two as a result of the Cantus
acquisition), three engineers and the increased use of software consultants.
General and administrative expenses for fiscal 1996 increased $92,499, or 9.9%
compared to the similar 1995 period, due to increased rent, the amortization of
goodwill related to the Cantus acquisition, and the addition of an
administrative person.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased $1,274 in the 1996 period
compared to the 1995 period.
INFLATION
Management believes inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's
operations or on its financial condition.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash of $22,319 and accounts receivable of
$432,111. For the period ended June 30, 1997, net cash used in the Company's
operating activities was $2,025,506, consisting primarily of the Company's loss
from operations of $3,778,235, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable,
inventories, and non-cash expenses associated with the restructuring and debt
conversion. Funds required to finance the Company's operations, investments and
payments of debt during fiscal 1997, were provided by net proceeds of $3,014,000
from the stock offering completed during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
Company has relied on debt and equity capital to fund its operating losses
during fiscal 1997 and prior periods.
Based on projected revenues and expenses, the Company believes that the July 23,
1997, $1,250,000 equity transaction (see Note 11 to the financial statements)
together with cash from operations will be adequate to fund the Company's
working capital requirements through June 30, 1998. The Company has no material
commitments for capital expenditures for fiscal 1998. At June 30, 1997, the
Company had shareholders' equity of $598,211. Shareholders' equity as adjusted
for the equity infusion on July 23, 1997, is $1,823,211.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15,
1997. The implementation of SFAS No.128 is expected to change earnings per
share by an immaterial amount.
SFAS No. 128 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, EARNINGS PER
SHARE, and replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with a
presentation of basic earnings per share. It also requires dual presentation
for all entities with complex capital structures and provides guidance on other
computational changes.

equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 1997 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Telident, Inc. as of June 30, 1997 and the

TELIDENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Telident, Inc. (the Company) was organized in July 1983. The Company is a
designer and manufacturer of hardware and software for the Enhanced 911 (E911)
marketplace. The Company provides enhancements to telephone systems (PBXs), as
well as providing Public Safety Answering Point systems and alternative
selective routing equipment for the 911 marketplace throughout the United
States. In addition, the Company provides ongoing support services to its
customers under separate hardware and software maintenance agreements. During
fiscal 1996, the Company liquidated its previous subsidiaries and transferred
the assets and liabilities into the Company. This transfer had no impact on the
reporting entity.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts which at times
may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At June 30, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 107, DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS,
which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to
estimate that value. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and
all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. The financial
statements include the following financial instruments: cash and cash
equivalents; accounts receivable; accounts payable; and notes and debentures
payable. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, no separate comparison of fair values
versus carrying values is presented for the aforementioned financial instruments
since their fair values are not significantly different than their balance sheet
carrying amounts.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out method), or
market, and consisted of the following:
JUNE 30,
-----------------------
1997 1996
---- ----
Raw materials $ 416,735 $ 360,465
Work in progress 336 156,762
Finished goods 103,435 70,859
Reserve for inventory obsolescence (90,000) (15,000)
---------- ----------
$ 430,506 $ 573,086
---------- ----------
---------- ----------
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company records losses on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount.
FURNITURE AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT
Furniture and office equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives of five or seven years.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consisted of the following:
JUNE 30,
------------------
1997 1996
---- ----
Goodwill $ -- $ 502,632
Patents 110,742 100,711
Software development 97,555 65,912
--------- ----------
208,297 669,255
Less accumulated amortization 108,868 226,008
--------- ----------
$ 99,429 $ 443,247
--------- ----------
--------- ----------
16
<PAGE>
Patents are being amortized over their estimated lives of five years using the
straight line method.
Software development costs are expensed until the point that technological
feasibility and proven marketability of the product are established.
Development of the software after such point will result in capitalized software
costs which are amortized over their estimated life of three years using the
straight line method.
The Company reviews its intangibles periodically to determine potential
impairment by comparing the carrying value of the intangibles with expected
future net cash flows provided by operating activities of the business or
related products. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows (the
estimated fair value) be less than the carrying value, the Company would
determine whether an impairment loss should be recognized. An impairment loss
would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds
the fair value of the intangible based on market value. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997, the Company wrote off the remaining book value ($268,076)
of the goodwill associated with the November 1994 Cantus acquisition due to
discontinuance of the product line. The write-off of goodwill is included in
restructuring charges in the statement of operations.
DEFERRED REVENUE
Deferred revenue primarily represents payments received for ongoing customer
support to be provided by the Company. These revenues are recognized over the
period for which the related services are provided.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized on hardware shipment or completion of the service.
Hardware is shipped no earlier than two weeks prior to scheduled installation
date.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The costs of Company-sponsored research and development related to both present
and future products are expensed as incurred.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred
tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating
loss or tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the variances between
the amounts of assets and liabilities recorded for income tax and financial
reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to
reflect the possibility that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may
not be realized.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common
stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the year. Common stock equivalents such as options or warrants were not
included in this calculation as their effect on amounts reported would be
antidilutive.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 1996 financial
statements to conform to the presentation adopted in the June 30, 1997 financial
statements. The reclassifications had no effect on stockholders' equity or net
loss as previously reported.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The implementation of SFAS No. 128 is expected
to change earnings per share by an immaterial amount.
SFAS No. 128 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, EARNINGS PER
SHARE, and replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with a
presentation of basic earnings per share. It also requires dual presentation
for all entities with complex capital structures and provides guidance on other
computational changes.

NOTE 2: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During fiscal 1993, the following directors participated in a 10% Convertible
Debenture offering by the Company: Willis K. Drake - $100,000; and John Sagan -
$25,000. These Debentures had an original due date of October 1, 1995. On
September 30, 1995, Mr. Drake and Mr. Sagan agreed to extend the due date for
their Debentures to July 15, 1997. In consideration for this extension, Mr.
Drake received warrants to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock exercisable at
$4.00 per share until July 15, 1997, and 2,500 shares of common stock, and Mr.
Sagan received warrants to purchase 3,125 shares of common stock exercisable at
$4.00 per share until July 15, 1997, and 625 shares of common stock. As of
February 5, 1996, Mr. Drake had exercised his warrants through $50,000 of debt
reduction. Mr. Sagan also exercised his warrants resulting in $12,500 of
proceeds to the Company. The Debentures are convertible into common stock at
the rate of $3.96 per share.
During fiscal 1994, the Company issued 1,100 units of its securities, each unit
consisting of $100 principal amount of its 10% Convertible Debentures due May 1,
1996 and one stock purchase warrant representing the right to purchase 25 shares
of common stock at $6.00 per share during the three-year period ended May 1,
1996. The following directors participated in this Debenture offering: Willis K.
Drake - $75,000; and John Sagan - $25,000. In addition, Messrs. Drake and Sagan
received 18,750 and 6,250 stock purchase warrants. As of February 6, 1996, Mr.
Drake had exercised his warrants through $75,000 of debt reduction. Mr. Sagan
also exercised his warrants resulting in $25,000 of proceeds to the Company. On
April 4, 1996, the Company offered these Debenture holders the option to extend
the Debentures until July 15, 1997. As an incentive to extend, the Debenture
holders were offered additional warrants to purchase common stock at $4.00 per
share until July 15, 1997. Mr. Drake and Mr. Sagan had extended their Debentures
until July 15, 1997, and received warrants to purchase 9,375 and 3,125 shares of
common stock, respectively.
During fiscal 1994 and 1995, the following directors loaned the Company an
aggregate of $498,500 and $120,000, respectively: Willis K. Drake - $473,500 in
1994 and $45,000 in 1995; Warren S. Tyler - $25,000 in 1994; John Sagan -
$50,000 in 1995; and Robert N. Kisch (former director) - $25,000 in 1995. The
loans provided for interest at 10% per annum. At the beginning of fiscal 1994,
Mr. Drake and Mr. Tyler also had outstanding loans to the Company of $275,000
and $65,000, respectively. Mr. Drake's $45,000 loan in 1995 was made in
connection with a note financing by the Company in the aggregate principal
amount of $240,000. As part of this financing, the note holders were issued an
aggregate of 30,000 shares of common stock, 5,625 shares of which were issued to
Mr. Drake, as additional consideration for the making of such loans.
As of June 30, 1996, all of the above loans have been repaid as follows: Mr.
Drake - $756,834 during fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996 by issuance of an aggregate
of 189,209 shares of common stock at $4.00 per share and payment of $36,666 in
fiscal 1996; Mr. Tyler - $25,000 in fiscal 1996 through the exercise of a stock
option for 22,500 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and payment of
$2,500, and $65,000 on June 30, 1994, by issuance of 16,250 shares of common
stock at $4.00 per share; Mr. Sagan - payment of $50,000 in fiscal 1995; and Mr.
Kisch - $25,000 in fiscal 1996 by issuance of 6,250 shares of common stock at
$4.00 per share.
On June 30, 1994, three directors of the Company, were issued a combined total
of 250,000 (83,333 1/3 each) voting shares of Series I convertible cumulative
preferred stock at $4.00 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company of
$1,000,000, which was utilized to pay off the existing bank line of credit.
These shares pay a yearly dividend at the rate of 1% over the prime rate from
time to time of National City Bank of Minneapolis and are redeemable at the
Company's option. The prime rate of National City Bank of Minneapolis was 8.5%
on June 30, 1997. The Company redeemed 37,500 and 50,000 shares of preferred
stock in fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition,
the Company has made dividend payments in the aggregate of $48,190 and $83,507
for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company
has not paid dividends since March 31, 1997. At June 30, 1997, there are
$14,450 of cumulative undeclared dividends on the Series I preferred stock.
During June 1997, the Company's board of directors authorized the conversion of
10% subordinated convertible debentures into common stock of the Company at a
conversion price of $1.125. Additionally, for every two shares of common stock
issued in conjunction with the conversion, the Company agreed to issue a warrant
to purchase one share of common stock at 125% of the debenture conversion price
($1.41). The warrants may be called by the Company when the bid price of the
common stock trades at $1.97 for ten successive days. Two board members
converted 100% of their individual holdings, or $175,000 of debentures.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, certain members of the
Company's board of directors received shares of the Company's common stock in
lieu of cash remuneration for director services, resulting in the issuance of
7,560 and 6,774 shares, respectively. The values based on the market value of
the Company's common stock at issuance were $21,000 and $36,250, respectively,
and were charged to expense in the respective years.

NOTE 4: NOTES PAYABLE
NOTES PAYABLE - BANK
In February 1995, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit with a bank
providing advances up to $750,000. Advances under the agreement are limited to
75% of eligible receivables. The loan agreement also contains provisions
requiring compliance with certain financial covenants. The Company was in
compliance with the financial convenants at June 30, 1997. The line of credit
agreement expires on February 3, 1998, when all outstanding amounts are due and
payable. Borrowings under this agreement were $101,716 as of June 30, 1997 with
additional availability of $81,733. The agreement bears interest at the bank's
base rate plus 7.5% (16.0% at June 30, 1997). The note is secured by all of
the Company's assets.
NOTES PAYABLE - OTHERS
In May 1996, the Company completed a bridge financing arrangement consisting of
$1,250,000 in notes payable and warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common
stock at $2.40 per share. In September 1996, the Company repaid $1,020,660 and
$37,847 of principal and interest payable, respectively. In addition, $229,340
of the remaining principal was converted into 95,556 shares of common stock.
NOTE 5: DEBENTURES AND INTEREST PAYABLE
Debentures payable including accrued interest consisted of the following:
JUNE 30,
----------------------
Debentures: 1997 1996
---- ----
Principal payable $ 157,500 $ 993,000
Accrued interest payable 7,875 49,650
---------- ----------
165,375 1,042,650
Less current maturities 77,875 49,650
---------- ----------
Long-term maturities $ 87,500 $ 993,000
---------- ----------
---------- ----------
The 10% convertible debentures (the Debentures) mature in August 1997 ($77,875)
and July 1998 ($87,500), unless converted earlier. The Debentures are
convertible at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $3.96 per
share.
During June 1997, holders with principal balances and accrued interest of
$835,500 and $41,775, respectively, elected to convert their Debentures and
accrued interest into 779,800 shares of common stock. As an incentive to cause
the Debenture holders to convert, the Company temporarily reduced the conversion
price from $3.96 to $1.125 per share and issued warrants to purchase 389,900
shares of common stock at $1.41 per share. The warrants will expire on June 30,
1999, and may be called any time after the market value of the Company's common
stock exceeds $1.97 per share for 10 days. The Company recorded a noncash debt
conversion expense of $679,797 during the year ended June 30, 1997 relating to
the induced conversion.
19
<PAGE>
As of June 30, 1996, holders with principal balances of $985,000 elected to
convert their Debentures into 321,818 shares of common stock. As an incentive
to cause the debentures to convert, the Company temporarily reduced the
conversion price from $3.96 to $3.00. The Company recorded additional interest
expense of $63,333 relating to the conversion of these Debentures. The holders
of the remaining Debentures extended the due date to July 1997. As an incentive
to extend the due date of the Debentures, the Company issued a warrant
representing the right to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price
of $4.00 per share for every $8.00 principal amount of Debenture. The warrants
may be redeemed by the Company at $.10 per warrant at the Company's option,
anytime after the market value of the Company's stock exceeds $7.00 per share.
No value was assigned to these warrants.
NOTE 6: INCOME TAXES
The benefit for income taxes has been offset by a valuation allowance for the
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, because the Company's net operating losses
could not be carried back and future realization of the net operating loss
carryforwards is uncertain.
A reconciliation between taxes computed at the expected federal income tax rate
and the effective tax rate for the years ended June 30, is as follows:
1997 1996
---- ----
Tax benefit computed at statutory rates $(1,322,000) $ (627,000)
State taxes, net of federal effect (244,000) (116,000)
Debt conversion costs 275,000 26,000
Change in valuation allowance 1,225,000 700,000
Other 66,000 17,000
---------- ----------
$ -- $ --
---------- ----------
---------- ----------
At June 30, 1997, the Company has available net operating loss (NOL) and
research and development tax credit carryforwards. Realization of these
carryforwards may be subject to provisions of IRC Section 382, which limits the
utilization of net operating losses if more than 50 percent of the Company's
ownership changes within a three year period. These NOL's and tax credits
expire as follows:
EXPIRATION DATES NET OPERATING LOSS TAX CREDIT

1999-2005 $ 1,049,500 $ 26,800

NOTE 7: STOCK ISSUANCE ARRANGEMENTS
ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
In August 1996, the Company completed a secondary public offering for 1,150,000
shares of common stock at $3.00 per share, resulting in proceeds to the Company
of $2,917,923 after related expenses. The Company's underwriter received
115,000 common stock warrants as part of its compensation. The warrants are
exercisable at $3.60 per share, are fully exercisable after one year from the
date of this offering, and expire on August 15, 2001.
In September 1996, bridge notes holders of $229,340 converted their principal
balances into common stock at $2.40 per share, resulting in the issuance of
95,556 shares of common stock.
During fiscal 1996, an officer and director of the Company earned 5,000 shares
of common stock as a bonus for services performed during the year. The
estimated fair value of common stock at the date of the award was $14,000 and
was recorded as an expense and an increase to common stock and additional
paid-in capital. In fiscal 1996, $75,000 notes payable to related parties were
converted into common stock at $4.00 per share, resulting in the issuance of
18,750 shares.
On October 13, 1995, a debenture holder converted a $400,000 debenture into
common stock resulting in the issuance of 133,333 shares of common stock. In
addition, the debenture holder exercised 100,000 warrants at $4.00 per share
resulting in $400,000 of proceeds to the Company, and purchased a unit
consisting of 200,000 shares of common stock and 150,000 warrants, resulting in
$600,000 of proceeds to the Company. The warrants are exercisable at $4.00 per
share from April 12, 1997 until April 12, 2000.
WARRANTS
In January 1996, the Company gave notice of redemption for 476,808 outstanding
common stock warrants. In connection therewith, 200,377 warrants were exercised
resulting in $854,387 in proceeds to the Company. In addition, a director
exercised 12,500 warrants through $50,000 of debt reduction. Common stock
warrants for the purchase of 122,808 shares had a cashless exercise feature
which was utilized resulting in the issuance of 60,920 shares of common stock
based on the fair market value of the Company's stock price during the
redemption period, and the cancellation of 61,692 warrants.
A summary of the Company's outstanding common stock warrants follows:

The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using
the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. No compensation cost has been
recognized for options issued under the Plan when the exercise price of the
options granted are at least equal to the fair value of the common stock on the
date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, consistent with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION, the Company's net loss applicable to common stock would have
changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
1997 1996
---- ----
Net loss applicable to common stock, as reported $(3,840,875) $(1,876,134)
Net loss applicable to common stock, pro forma $(3,903,929) $(1,884,661)
Net loss per common share, as reported $ (.64) $ (.43)
Net loss per common share, pro forma $ (.65) $ (.43)
The fair value of each option grant for the pro forma disclosure required by
SFAS 123 is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions and results for the grants:
1997 1996
---- ----
Dividend yield None None
Expected volatility 77.32% 54.25%
Expected life of option 7 years 7 years

NOTE 8: MAJOR CUSTOMERS
During fiscal 1997, no customer accounted for 10% or more of total sales. Sales
to one of the Company's customers amounted to 18% of total sales for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996. This customer also accounted for 3% of the Company's
accounts receivable as of June 30, 1996.
22
<PAGE>
NOTE 9: INVENTORY REVALUATION
During fiscal 1997, the Company disposed of inventory due to changes in
bills-of-materials and the discontinuance of a product line.
NOTE 10: BENEFIT PLAN
All employees of the Company may participate in a defined contribution plan
established in October 1996, under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides for a contribution by the employee of
up to 15% of their gross earnings. Currently the Company does not contribute to
the plan.
NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In July 1997, the Company completed an $1.25 million equity transaction in the
form of 1,111,111 shares of convertible preferred stock with Family Financial
Strategies, Inc. (FamCo). FamCo can convert the preferred stock into common
stock for a period of one year at i) one share of preferred stock for one share
of common stock or ii) if the Average Price, as defined, is less than $1.125,
then each share of preferred stock shall be converted into the number of shares
of common stock equal to $1.125 divided by 80% of the Average Price. FamCo also
received 1,250,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The warrants are
exercisable at $1.41 per share, are currently exercisable, and expire on July
23, 1999. The Company may at its option call the warrants at $1.97 when the
Company's common stock trades at $1.97 for 10 successive days. The proceeds
from the sale of the common stock were released from escrow on August 7, 1997.
Assuming the June 1997 debt conversion and the July 1997 $1.25 million equity
infusion had taken place on July 1, 1996, the Company's primary loss per share
would have been $(.55) for the year ended June 30, 1997.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On July 1, 1997, the Company dismissed McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as its
independent accountant. Effective Thursday, July 31, 1997, the Company has
engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent accountant. The Company's
Audit Committee and Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision
to change independent accountant. In connection with its audits for the two
most recent fiscal years and through July 7, 1997, there have been no
disagreements with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladrey
& Pullen, LLP would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on
the financial statements for such years. Except for an explanatory paragraph
described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and
for the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1995, with respect to substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and management's
plans, the reports of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on the Company's financial
statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF SERIES II CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
I, the undersigned, as Secretary of Telident, Inc., a Minnesota corporation
(the "Corporation"), do hereby certify that the Board of Directors of the
Corporation unanimously resolved, on July 23, 1997, to establish a class of
Preferred Stock as permitted in Article III of the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, in accordance with the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation be, and they hereby are,
authorized and directed to issue 1,111,111 shares of the Corporation's
Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation to the Purchaser identified in that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement dated July 23, 1997 by and among the Corporation and the
Purchaser named therein (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), in consideration
for which the Purchaser shall pay the Corporation $1,250,000.00, such
amount to be paid by wire transfer concurrently with the issuance of the
Corporation's stock certificates representing said shares and warrants.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that such shares of Preferred Stock shall be referred to
as the Series II Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the
"Series II Preferred Stock") and shall have the following relative rights
and preferences:
ARTICLE 24.
TERMS OF THE SERIES II CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK:
24.1 VOTING PRIVILEGES.
(a) GENERAL. Each holder of Series II Preferred Stock shall have that
number of votes on all matters submitted to the stockholders that is equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series
II Preferred Stock are then convertible, as hereinafter provided. Except as
provided herein or as otherwise required by agreement or law, all shares of
capital stock of the Corporation shall vote as a single class on all matters
submitted to the stockholders.
<PAGE>
(b) NO CUMULATIVE VOTING. No holder of shares of Series II Preferred
Stock of the Corporation shall have any cumulative voting rights.
(c) MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS. Without the
affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the holders (acting
together as a class) of the shares of Series II Preferred Stock at the time
outstanding, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement or
understanding to (i) merge or consolidate the Corporation into or with
another corporation, (ii) merge or consolidate any other corporation into or
with the Corporation, (iii) effectuate a plan of exchange between the
Corporation and any other corporation, or (iv) sell, transfer or dispose of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; (v) amend the
Certificate; and (vi) issue any shares of the Corporation's capital stock
which have rights and preferences greater than those of the Series II
Preferred Stock.
24.2 DIVIDENDS.
In the event any dividend or distribution is declared or made with respect
to outstanding shares of Common Stock or series I convertible preferred stock, a
comparable dividend or distribution must be simultaneously declared or made with
respect to the outstanding shares of Series II Preferred Stock. In the event
any dividend or distribution is declared or made with respect to the Common
Stock, each holder of shares of Series II Preferred Stock shall be paid such
comparable dividend or receive such comparable distribution on the basis of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of such Series
II Preferred Stock are then convertible, as hereinafter provided. All rights of
the holders of the Series II Preferred Stock to receive dividends shall be equal
to the rights of series I convertible preferred stock of the Corporation.
Dividends on shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be payable
only out of funds legally available therefor.
24.3 OTHER TERMS OF THE SERIES II PREFERRED STOCK.
(a) LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of an involuntary or voluntary
liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation at any time, the holders of shares
of Series II Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of
the Corporation an amount equal to the Per Share Purchase Price (appropriately
adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
consolidations and similar changes hereafter effected), plus dividends unpaid
and accumulated or accrued thereon. In the event of either an involuntary or a
voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation payment shall be made to
the holders of shares of Series II Preferred Stock in the amounts herein fixed
before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the
Common Stock or any other class of shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series II Preferred Stock with respect to payment upon dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation. If upon any liquidation or dissolution of the
Corporation the assets available for distribution shall be insufficient to pay
the holders of all outstanding shares of Series II Preferred Stock the full
amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of such shares
shall share pro rata in any such distribution in proportion to the full amounts
to which such holders would otherwise be entitled.
<PAGE>
Nothing hereinabove set forth shall affect in any way the right of each
holder of shares of Series II Preferred Stock to convert such shares at any time
and from time to time in accordance with subparagraph (2) below.
(b) CONVERSION RIGHT. For one (1) year after the Closing Date as set
forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the option of the holders thereof, all
or any portion of the shares of Series II Preferred Stock shall be convertible
into Common Stock of the Corporation as set forth herein, at the office of the
Corporation (or at such other office or offices, if any, as the Board of
Directors may designate). A holder shall provide the Corporation with written
notice of its intent to convert (the "Conversion Notice"), such notice to be
effective upon receipt by the Corporation. Upon any such conversion, each share
of Series II Preferred Stock shall be converted into that number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest
1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Corporation as follows: (x) if the
Average Price, as defined herein, is equal to or greater than the Per Share
Purchase Price, then each share of Series II Preferred Stock shall be converted
into one (1) share of Common Stock; and (y) if the Average Price is less than
the Per Share Purchase Price, then each share of Series II Preferred Stock shall
be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Per
Share Purchase Price, divided by (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the Average Price.
The "Average Price" is the average of the middle between the bid price and the
ask price per share for shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, for the ten
(10) trading days immediately prior to the date on which the Corporation
receives the Conversion Notice. The following provisions shall govern such
right of conversion:
a. In order to convert shares of Series II Preferred Stock into shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation, the holder thereof shall
surrender at any office hereinabove mentioned the certificate or
certificates therefor, duly endorsed to the Corporation or in blank,
and give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such
holder elects to convert such shares. Shares of Series II Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of the surrender of such shares for
conversion as herein provided, and the person entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of
such shares of Common Stock at such time. As promptly as
practicable after the conversion date, the Corporation shall issue
and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered at such office a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation issuable upon such conversion.
b. Except for (i) options to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Corporation's 1988 Stock Option Plan adopted by the
Corporation which are outstanding as of the date hereof and except
for shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such options
granted pursuant to such plan, and (ii) shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Series II Preferred Stock or exercise
of the Warrants issued to the holders of the Series II Preferred
Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement or other warrants or
rights to purchase the securities of the Corporation outstanding as
of the
<PAGE>
date hereof, if and whenever the Corporation shall issue or sell any
additional shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share
less than the Conversion Price, as defined herein, in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale then, forthwith
upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to
such lesser price. The "Conversion Price" is the Per Share Purchase
Price, as the same may be adjusted from time to time in certain
instances as provided herein.
Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price, each holder of
Series II Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to convert,
at the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, such Series
II Preferred Stock into the number of shares of Common Stock
obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares into which the
Series II Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.
For the purposes of this subparagraph (b), the following
provisions (1) to (3), inclusive, shall also be applicable:
(1) In case at any time the Corporation shall grant (whether
directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for
the purchase of, (a) Common Stock or (b) any obligations or
any shares of stock of the Corporation which are convertible
into, or exchangeable for, Common Stock (any of such
obligations or shares of stock being hereinafter called
"Convertible Securities") whether or not such rights or
options or the right to convert or exchange any such
Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the
price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by
dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable
by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such
rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the
exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of such
rights or options which relate to Convertible Securities, the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue of such Convertible Securities
and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of such rights or options or upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities
issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options) shall
be less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the time of the granting of such rights or options,
then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon
conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of
<PAGE>
such rights or options shall (as of the date of granting of
such rights or options) be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been issued for such price per share. No further
adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the
actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such rights or options or upon
the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(2) In case the Corporation shall issue or sell (whether
directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any
Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x)
the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation
as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities)
shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued for such price per share, provided that
if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any rights to subscribe for or to
purchase or any option to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price
have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of
this subparagraph (c), no further adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
(3) In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities
or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock
or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be
the amount received by the Corporation therefor, without
deducting therefrom any expenses incurred or any
underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions paid or
allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith. In case
any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any
rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or
Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Corporation
shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
without deducting therefrom any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions
paid or allowed by the Corporation in
<PAGE>
connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase
such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued
in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the
Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
of such portion of the assets and business of the
non-surviving corporation or corporations as such Board
shall determine to be attributable to such Common Stock,
Convertible Securities, rights or options, as the case may
be. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the
Corporation in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation for stock
or other securities of any other corporation, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have issued a number of
shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities of the
other corporation computed on the basis of the actual
exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated and
for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the
date of such transaction of such stock or securities of the
other corporation, and if any such calculation results in
adjustment of the Conversion Price, the determination of the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
immediately prior to such merger, conversion or sale, for
purposes of subparagraph (g) below, shall be made after
giving effect to such adjustment of the Conversion Price.
c. In case the Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend upon the Common
Stock payable in Common Stock (other than a dividend declared to
effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as
described in subparagraph (d) below) or Convertible Securities, or
in any rights or options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, or (ii) declare any other dividend or make any other
distribution upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of
earnings or earned surplus, then thereafter each holder of shares of
Series II Preferred Stock upon the conversion thereof will be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such shares of Series II Preferred Stock have been converted, and,
in addition and without payment therefor, each dividend described in
clause (i) above and each dividend or distribution described in
clause (ii) above which such holder would have received by way of
dividends or distributions if continuously since the issuance of
such shares of Series II Preferred Stock, such holder (i) had been
the record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then
received, and (ii) had retained all dividends or distributions in
stock or securities (including Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, or in any rights or options to purchase any Common Stock
or Convertible Securities) payable in respect of such Common Stock
or in respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends or
distributions and originating directly or indirectly from such
Common Stock. For the purposes of the foregoing a dividend or
distribution other than in cash shall be considered payable out of
earnings or earned
<PAGE>
surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are
charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend or
distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
d. In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be
combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
e. If (i) the purchase price provided for in any right or option
referred to in clause (1) of subparagraph (b), or (ii) the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities referred to in clause (1) or
clause (2) of subparagraph (b), or (iii) the rate at which any
Convertible Securities referred to in clause (1) or clause (2) of
subparagraph (c) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock, shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion
Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased or
decreased to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had
the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or
Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of (a) the issuance
of the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually
delivered upon the exercise of such options or rights or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the total
consideration received therefor, and (b) the issuance at the time of
such change of any such options, rights, or Convertible Securities
then still outstanding for the consideration, if any, received by
the Corporation therefor and to be received on the basis of such
changed price; and on the expiration of any such option or right or
the termination of any such right to convert or exchange such
Convertible Securities, the conversion price then in effect
hereunder shall forthwith be increased to such conversion price as
would have obtained had the adjustments made upon the issuance of
such rights or options or Convertible Securities been made upon the
basis of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock theretofore
actually delivered (and the total consideration received therefor)
upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities. If the purchase price
provided for in any right or option referred to in clause (1) of
subparagraph (b), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
referred to in clause (1) or clause (3) of subparagraph (b) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall decrease at
any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto
designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery
of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such right or option or
upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the
conversion price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be
decreased to such conversion price as would have obtained had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such
<PAGE>
right, option or Convertible Security been made upon the basis of
the issuance of (and the total consideration received for) the shares
of Common Stock delivered as aforesaid.
f. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Corporation, or consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or
in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holders of
Series II Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein
and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation
immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of Series II
Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may
be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of
shares of such stock immediately theretofore receivable upon the
conversion of Series II Preferred Stock had such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place,
plus all dividends unpaid and accumulated or accrued thereon to the
date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger
or sale, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made
with respect to the rights and interests of the holders of Series II
Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions hereof (including
without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Conversion
Price and of the number of shares receivable upon the conversion of
Series II Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter receivable upon the conversion of Series II Preferred
Stock. The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation,
merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the
registered holders of Series II Preferred Stock, at the last
addresses of such holders appearing on the books of the Corporation,
the obligation to deliver to such holders such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holders may be entitled to receive.
g. In case at any time:
(1) the Corporation shall declare any cash dividend on its
Common Stock at a rate in excess of the rate of the last
cash dividend theretofore paid;
<PAGE>
(2) the Corporation shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon
its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than
regular cash dividends) to the holders of its Common Stock;
(3) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock
of any class or other rights;
(4) there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with, or sale of
all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation; or
(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give
written notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the registered holders of Series II Preferred Stock at the addresses
of such holders as shown on the books of the Corporation, of the
date on which (a) the books of the Corporation shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, or (b) such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up
shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also
specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up, as the case may be. Such written notice
shall be given at least 20 days prior to the action in question and
not less than 20 days prior to the record date or the date on which
the Corporation's transfer books are closed in respect thereto.
h. If any event occurs as to which in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation the other provisions of this paragraph
(2) are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the rights of the holders of Series II Preferred
Stock in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such
provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in
the application of such provisions, in accordance with such
essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as
aforesaid.
i. The Series II Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock
only during the period prior to July 23, 1998.
j. As used in this paragraph (2) the term "Common Stock" shall mean and
include the Corporation's presently authorized Common Stock and
shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Corporation
hereafter authorized
<PAGE>
which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage in respect
of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or
in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; provided
that the shares receivable pursuant to conversion of shares of
Series II Preferred Stock shall include shares designated as Common
Stock of the Corporation as of the date of issuance of such shares
of Series II Preferred Stock, or, in case of any reclassification of
the outstanding shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets
provided for in subparagraph (g) above.
k. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion, but, instead of any fraction of a share which would
otherwise be issuable, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction
of the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the close of
business on the day of conversion. "Market Price" shall mean if the
Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or on The NASDAQ
SmallCap Market, the closing price of the Common Stock on such
exchange or The NASDAQ SmallCap Market, or, if the Common Stock is
otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing price,
in each case averaged over a period of 20 consecutive business days
prior to the date as of which "Market Price" is being determined.
If at any time the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or The
NASDAQ SmallCap Market, or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter
market, the "Market Price" shall be deemed to be the higher of (i)
the book value thereof as determined by any firm of independent
public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation as of the last day of any month ending
within 60 days preceding the date as of which the determination is
to be made, or (ii) the fair value thereof determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of a date which is
within 15 days of the date as of which the determination is to be
made.
l. The holders of the Series II Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
the registration rights provided for in Section 11 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
(c) DEFINITION. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the definition ascribed to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that W. Edward McConaghay, President of the Corporation,
be, and hereby is, authorized and directed to make and execute a
Certificate of Designation embracing the foregoing resolutions and to cause
such Certificate of Designation to be filed with the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota.

in the Certificate of Designation.
9.2 STOCK FULLY PAID: RESERVATION OF SHARES. Subject to the
approval and filing of the Company's Amended Articles as set forth in Section
8.8, the Company covenants and agrees that all Conversion Stock that may be
issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares will, upon issuance in accordance
with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, be fully paid and
nonassessable, and that the issuance thereof shall not give rise to any
preemptive rights on the part of any person. The Company further covenants and
agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock for the purpose of issue upon
the conversion of the Preferred Shares.
9.3 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES. The number of shares of
Conversion Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth
in the Certificate of Designation.

the Closing Date, the Purchaser may, at its option, at any time and from time to
time, exercise the Warrants, or any portion thereof, upon the terms and
conditions and subject to the adjustments set forth in the Warrants.
10.2 STOCK FULLY PAID; RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company
covenants and agrees that all Warrant Stock that may be issued upon the exercise
of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the
Warrants, be fully paid and nonassessable, and that the issuance thereof shall
not give rise to any preemptive rights on the part of any person.
10.3 ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF SHARES AND PURCHASE PRICE. The
number of shares of Warrant Stock and the Purchase Price with respect to the
Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in the
Warrants.
11. REGISTRATION OF STOCK.
11.1 REQUIRED REGISTRATION. If the Company receives a written
request from record holders of 75% of the Preferred Shares not theretofore
registered under the Securities Act and sold, the Company shall prepare and file
one registration statement under the Securities Act (the "Resale Registration
Statement") covering all of the shares of Conversion Stock and Warrant Stock
(collectively, the "Registrable Securities") purchased at the Closing and shall
use its best efforts (i) to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the Commission for such Registrable Securities as soon as
<PAGE>
practicable thereafter and (ii) to keep the Resale Registration Statement
continuously effective until the earliest of (x) the date on which the Purchaser
no longer holds any Registrable Securities registered under the Resale
Registration Statement or (y) the third anniversary of the effective date of the
Resale Registration Statement, or such earlier date at which Rule 144(k) under
the Securities Act (or any successor rule thereto) enables each holder of
Registrable Securities to sell all of its Registrable Securities without
restriction under the Securities Act. The registration statement shall be filed
with the Commission not later than thirty days after receipt of such written
request.
11.2 INCIDENTAL REGISTRATION. Each time the Company shall
determine to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration
statement under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and
sale for cash of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders
(other than a registration statement on a form that does not permit the
inclusion of shares by its security holders), the Company will promptly give
written notice of its determination to all record holders of Purchased Stock (as
hereinafter defined) not theretofore registered under the Securities Act and
sold. Upon the written request of a record holder of any shares of Purchased
Stock given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice from the Company,
the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all the shares of Conversion
Stock and Warrant Stock, the Purchaser or record holders of which have so
requested registration thereof, to be included in such registration statement,
all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the
prospective seller or sellers of the Conversion Stock or Warrant Stock to be so
registered; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company
from, at any time, abandoning or delaying any such registration initiated by it;
provided further, however, that if the Company determines not to proceed with a
registration after the registration statement has been filed with the Commission
and the Company's decision not to proceed is primarily based upon the
anticipated public offering price of the securities to be sold by the Company,
the Company shall promptly complete the registration for the benefit of those
selling security holders who wish to proceed with a public offering of their
securities at the Company's expense. If any registration pursuant to this
Section 11.2 shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require
that the Conversion Stock or Warrant Stock requested for inclusion pursuant to
this Section 11.2 be included in the underwriting on the same terms and
conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters. In
the event that the Conversion Stock or Warrant Stock requested for inclusion
pursuant to this Section 11.2 would constitute more than 25 % of the total
number of shares to be included in a proposed underwritten public offering, and
if in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter of such public
offering the inclusion of all of the Conversion Stock or Warrant Stock
originally covered by a request for registration would reduce the number of
shares to be offered by the Company or interfere with the successful marketing
of the shares of stock offered by the Company, the number of shares of
Conversion Stock and Warrant Stock otherwise to be included in the underwritten
public offering may be reduced pro rata (by number of shares) among the holders
thereof requesting such registration, provided, however, that after any such
required reduction the Conversion Stock and Warrant Stock to be included in such
offering shall constitute at least 25% of the total number of shares to be
included in such offering. "Purchased Stock" shall mean the Preferred Shares,
the Conversion Stock, the Warrants, the Warrant Stock, and the stock or other
securities of the Company issued in a stock split or reclassification of, or a
stock dividend or other
<PAGE>
distribution on or in substitution or exchange for, or otherwise in connection
with, any of the foregoing securities, or in a merger or consolidation involving
the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets.
11.3 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is
required by the provisions of Section 11.1 or 11.2 hereof to effect the
registration of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company
will:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement (a "Registration Statement") with respect to such Registrable
Securities, and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become and remain effective for such period as may be reasonably
necessary to effect the sale of such securities, not to exceed three years
in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 11.1 and nine months in
the case of a registration pursuant to Section 11.2 (subject to extension
as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 11.3);
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments to such
Registration Statement and supplements to such Registration Statement and
the Prospectus contained therein (a "Prospectus") as may be necessary to
keep such Registration Statement effective for such period as may be
reasonably necessary to effect the sale of such securities, not to exceed
three years in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 11.1 and nine
months in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 11.2, and to
comply with the provision of the Securities Act (subject to extension as
set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 11.3);
(c) use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such Registration Statement under such state securities or blue
sky laws of such jurisdictions as such participating holders may reasonably
request in writing within 20 days following the original filing of such
Registration Statement, except that the Company shall not for any purpose
be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;
(d) notify the security holders participating in such
registration, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time
when such Registration Statement has become effective or a supplement to
any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been
filed;
(e) notify such holders promptly of any request by the
Commission for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement
or Prospectus or for additional information;
(f) prepare and promptly file with the Commission and promptly
notify such holders of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement or Prospectus as may be necessary to correct any
<PAGE>
statements or omissions if, at the time when a Prospectus relating to such
securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event
shall have occurred as the result of which any such Prospectus or any other
prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading;
(g) advise such holders, promptly after it shall receive notice
or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the
Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or
the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and
promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or
to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;
(h) advise such holders (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed and, with respect to
a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any state
securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration
Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the
Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, (iv) of the issuance by any state securities commission or other
regulatory authority of any order suspending the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities under state
securities or "blue sky" laws, and (v) of the happening of any event which
makes any statement made in a Registration Statement or related Prospectus
untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus so that they will not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As soon as
practicable following expiration of the Suspension Period (as defined
below), the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission and furnish
a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter
deliverable to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(i) furnish to such holders such number of copies of a
Prospectus, including a preliminary Prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such
registration; and
<PAGE>
(j) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and
customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.
Upon receipt of any notice (a "Suspension Notice") by a holder from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
11.3(h), a holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable
Securities until receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 11.3(h) or until the holder is advised in writing (the
"Advice") by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated
by reference in the Prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, will, or
will request any broker-dealer acting as holder's agent to, deliver to the
Company (at the Company expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies
then in the holder's or broker-dealer's possession, of the Prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the period from the date on which the
holder receives a Suspension Notice to the date on which the holder receives
either the Advice or copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 11.3(h), and any additional or supplemental filings
incorporated therein by reference (the "Suspension Period"), exceed 60 days.
11.4 EXPENSES. Except as provided in Section 11.2 or this
Section 11.4, with respect to the registration pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof
and with respect to each inclusion of shares of Conversion Stock and Warrant
Stock in a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, the Company
shall bear all fees, costs and expenses except expenses of counsel and
accountants for the selling securities holders.
11.5 INDEMNIFICATION. In the event that any Conversion Stock or
Warrant Stock is included in a Registration Statement under Section 11.1 or 11.2
hereof:
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each holder of
Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11, its directors and officers,
and any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such holder and
each person, if any, who controls such holder or such underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against, and will reimburse
such holder and each such underwriter and controlling person with respect
to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost and expense to which such
holder or any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
Registration Statement, any Prospectus contained therein or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
<PAGE>
such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such holder,
such underwriter or such controlling person in writing specifically for use
in the preparation thereof.
(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities which are included in
a Registration Statement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, any
controlling person and any underwriter from and against, and will reimburse
the Company, its directors and officers, any controlling person and any
underwriter with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or
expense to which the Company or any controlling person and/or any
underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused
by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
such Registration Statement, any Prospectus contained therein or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in
reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished
by such holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to
the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 11.5 of notice of
the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the
foregoing indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the
provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b), promptly notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the
indemnifying party will relieve such indemnifying party of liability, but
only to the extent that such indemnifying party is prejudiced with respect
to a specific claim. In case such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, if the
defendants in any action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, or if there is a conflict of interest
which would prevent counsel for the indemnifying party from also
representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall
have the right to select separate
<PAGE>
counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof,
the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b) for any legal or
other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation,
unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance
with the proviso of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party
shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice
of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the indemnifying party has
authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the
expense of the indemnifying party.
(d) if the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 11.5 shall be unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense under the
Securities Act, then, and in each such case, the indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
loss, damage, liability, cost or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statement or omissions that resulted in such loss, damage, liability, cost
or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or
by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission; PROVIDED that in no event shall any contribution under this
subsection (d) by any holder exceed the gross proceeds from the offering
received by such indemnifying party. No person of entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) The obligations of the Company and the holders under this
Section 11.5 will survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a Registration Statement, and otherwise.
12. GENERAL INDEMNITY. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchaser, and its respective officers, directors, general partners, employees,
agents and affiliates, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses,
damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by any of
such indemnified parties in any way relating to, arising out of or resulting
from (i) the breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the

<PAGE>

EXHIBIT 1
TELIDENT, INC.
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF SERIES II CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
I, the undersigned, as Secretary of Telident, Inc., a Minnesota corporation
(the "Corporation"), do hereby certify that the Board of Directors of the
Corporation unanimously resolved, on July 23, 1997, to establish a class of
Preferred Stock as permitted in Article III of the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, in accordance with the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation be, and they hereby are,
authorized and directed to issue 1,111,111 shares of the Corporation's
Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation to the Purchaser identified in that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement dated July 23, 1997 by and among the Corporation and the
Purchaser named therein (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), in consideration
for which the Purchaser shall pay the Corporation $1,250,000.00, such
amount to be paid by wire transfer concurrently with the issuance of the
Corporation's stock certificates representing said shares and warrants.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that such shares of Preferred Stock shall be referred to
as the Series II Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the
"Series II Preferred Stock") and shall have the following relative rights
and preferences:
ARTICLE 24.
TERMS OF THE SERIES II CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK:
24.1 VOTING PRIVILEGES.
(a) GENERAL. Each holder of Series II Preferred Stock shall have that
number of votes on all matters submitted to the stockholders that is equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series
II Preferred Stock are then convertible, as hereinafter provided. Except as
provided herein or as otherwise required by agreement or law, all shares of
capital stock of the Corporation shall vote as a single class on all matters
submitted to the stockholders.
<PAGE>
(b) NO CUMULATIVE VOTING. No holder of shares of Series II Preferred
Stock of the Corporation shall have any cumulative voting rights.
(c) MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS. Without the
affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the holders (acting
together as a class) of the shares of Series II Preferred Stock at the time
outstanding, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement or
understanding to (i) merge or consolidate the Corporation into or with
another corporation, (ii) merge or consolidate any other corporation into or
with the Corporation, (iii) effectuate a plan of exchange between the
Corporation and any other corporation, or (iv) sell, transfer or dispose of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; (v) amend the
Certificate; and (vi) issue any shares of the Corporation's capital stock
which have rights and preferences greater than those of the Series II
Preferred Stock.
24.2 DIVIDENDS.
In the event any dividend or distribution is declared or made with respect
to outstanding shares of Common Stock or series I convertible preferred stock, a
comparable dividend or distribution must be simultaneously declared or made with
respect to the outstanding shares of Series II Preferred Stock. In the event
any dividend or distribution is declared or made with respect to the Common
Stock, each holder of shares of Series II Preferred Stock shall be paid such
comparable dividend or receive such comparable distribution on the basis of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of such Series
II Preferred Stock are then convertible, as hereinafter provided. All rights of
the holders of the Series II Preferred Stock to receive dividends shall be equal
to the rights of series I convertible preferred stock of the Corporation.
Dividends on shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be payable
only out of funds legally available therefor.
24.3 OTHER TERMS OF THE SERIES II PREFERRED STOCK.
(a) LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of an involuntary or voluntary
liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation at any time, the holders of shares
of Series II Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of
the Corporation an amount equal to the Per Share Purchase Price (appropriately
adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,
consolidations and similar changes hereafter effected), plus dividends unpaid
and accumulated or accrued thereon. In the event of either an involuntary or a
voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation payment shall be made to
the holders of shares of Series II Preferred Stock in the amounts herein fixed
before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the
Common Stock or any other class of shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series II Preferred Stock with respect to payment upon dissolution or
liquidation of the Corporation. If upon any liquidation or dissolution of the
Corporation the assets available for distribution shall be insufficient to pay
the holders of all outstanding shares of Series II Preferred Stock the full
amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, the holders of such shares
shall share pro rata in any such distribution in proportion to the full amounts
to which such holders would otherwise be entitled.
<PAGE>
Nothing hereinabove set forth shall affect in any way the right of each
holder of shares of Series II Preferred Stock to convert such shares at any time
and from time to time in accordance with subparagraph (2) below.
(b) CONVERSION RIGHT. For one (1) year after the Closing Date as set
forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the option of the holders thereof, all
or any portion of the shares of Series II Preferred Stock shall be convertible
into Common Stock of the Corporation as set forth herein, at the office of the
Corporation (or at such other office or offices, if any, as the Board of
Directors may designate). A holder shall provide the Corporation with written
notice of its intent to convert (the "Conversion Notice"), such notice to be
effective upon receipt by the Corporation. Upon any such conversion, each share
of Series II Preferred Stock shall be converted into that number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest
1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Corporation as follows: (x) if the
Average Price, as defined herein, is equal to or greater than the Per Share
Purchase Price, then each share of Series II Preferred Stock shall be converted
into one (1) share of Common Stock; and (y) if the Average Price is less than
the Per Share Purchase Price, then each share of Series II Preferred Stock shall
be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Per
Share Purchase Price, divided by (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the Average Price.
The "Average Price" is the average of the middle between the bid price and the
ask price per share for shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, for the ten
(10) trading days immediately prior to the date on which the Corporation
receives the Conversion Notice. The following provisions shall govern such
right of conversion:
a. In order to convert shares of Series II Preferred Stock into shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation, the holder thereof shall
surrender at any office hereinabove mentioned the certificate or
certificates therefor, duly endorsed to the Corporation or in blank,
and give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such
holder elects to convert such shares. Shares of Series II Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of the surrender of such shares for
conversion as herein provided, and the person entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of
such shares of Common Stock at such time. As promptly as
practicable after the conversion date, the Corporation shall issue
and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered at such office a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation issuable upon such conversion.
b. Except for (i) options to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Corporation's 1988 Stock Option Plan adopted by the
Corporation which are outstanding as of the date hereof and except
for shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such options
granted pursuant to such plan, and (ii) shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Series II Preferred Stock or exercise
of the Warrants issued to the holders of the Series II Preferred
Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement or other warrants or
rights to purchase the securities of the Corporation outstanding as
of the
<PAGE>
date hereof, if and whenever the Corporation shall issue or sell any
additional shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share
less than the Conversion Price, as defined herein, in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale then, forthwith
upon such issue or sale, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to
such lesser price. The "Conversion Price" is the Per Share Purchase
Price, as the same may be adjusted from time to time in certain
instances as provided herein.
Upon each adjustment of the Conversion Price, each holder of
Series II Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to convert,
at the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, such Series
II Preferred Stock into the number of shares of Common Stock
obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment by the number of shares into which the
Series II Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.
For the purposes of this subparagraph (b), the following
provisions (1) to (3), inclusive, shall also be applicable:
(1) In case at any time the Corporation shall grant (whether
directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for
the purchase of, (a) Common Stock or (b) any obligations or
any shares of stock of the Corporation which are convertible
into, or exchangeable for, Common Stock (any of such
obligations or shares of stock being hereinafter called
"Convertible Securities") whether or not such rights or
options or the right to convert or exchange any such
Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the
price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the
exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by
dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable
by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such
rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the
exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of such
rights or options which relate to Convertible Securities, the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue of such Convertible Securities
and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the
total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of such rights or options or upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities
issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options) shall
be less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the time of the granting of such rights or options,
then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon
conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of
<PAGE>
such rights or options shall (as of the date of granting of
such rights or options) be deemed to be outstanding and to
have been issued for such price per share. No further
adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the
actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such rights or options or upon
the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(2) In case the Corporation shall issue or sell (whether
directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any
Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to
exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,
and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x)
the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation
as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities)
shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then
the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of
such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and
to have been issued for such price per share, provided that
if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is
made upon exercise of any rights to subscribe for or to
purchase or any option to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments of the Conversion Price
have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of
this subparagraph (c), no further adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
(3) In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities
or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock
or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be
the amount received by the Corporation therefor, without
deducting therefrom any expenses incurred or any
underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions paid or
allowed by the Corporation in connection therewith. In case
any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any
rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or
Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a
consideration other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Corporation
shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
without deducting therefrom any expenses incurred or
any underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions
paid or allowed by the Corporation in
<PAGE>
connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase
such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued
in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the
Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
of such portion of the assets and business of the
non-surviving corporation or corporations as such Board
shall determine to be attributable to such Common Stock,
Convertible Securities, rights or options, as the case may
be. In the event of any consolidation or merger of the
Corporation in which the Corporation is not the surviving
corporation or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation for stock
or other securities of any other corporation, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have issued a number of
shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities of the
other corporation computed on the basis of the actual
exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated and
for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the
date of such transaction of such stock or securities of the
other corporation, and if any such calculation results in
adjustment of the Conversion Price, the determination of the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
immediately prior to such merger, conversion or sale, for
purposes of subparagraph (g) below, shall be made after
giving effect to such adjustment of the Conversion Price.
c. In case the Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend upon the Common
Stock payable in Common Stock (other than a dividend declared to
effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as
described in subparagraph (d) below) or Convertible Securities, or
in any rights or options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, or (ii) declare any other dividend or make any other
distribution upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than out of
earnings or earned surplus, then thereafter each holder of shares of
Series II Preferred Stock upon the conversion thereof will be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such shares of Series II Preferred Stock have been converted, and,
in addition and without payment therefor, each dividend described in
clause (i) above and each dividend or distribution described in
clause (ii) above which such holder would have received by way of
dividends or distributions if continuously since the issuance of
such shares of Series II Preferred Stock, such holder (i) had been
the record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then
received, and (ii) had retained all dividends or distributions in
stock or securities (including Common Stock or Convertible
Securities, or in any rights or options to purchase any Common Stock
or Convertible Securities) payable in respect of such Common Stock
or in respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends or
distributions and originating directly or indirectly from such
Common Stock. For the purposes of the foregoing a dividend or
distribution other than in cash shall be considered payable out of
earnings or earned
<PAGE>
surplus only to the extent that such earnings or earned surplus are
charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend or
distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
d. In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be
combined into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
e. If (i) the purchase price provided for in any right or option
referred to in clause (1) of subparagraph (b), or (ii) the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities referred to in clause (1) or
clause (2) of subparagraph (b), or (iii) the rate at which any
Convertible Securities referred to in clause (1) or clause (2) of
subparagraph (c) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock, shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Conversion
Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased or
decreased to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had
the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or
Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of (a) the issuance
of the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore actually
delivered upon the exercise of such options or rights or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the total
consideration received therefor, and (b) the issuance at the time of
such change of any such options, rights, or Convertible Securities
then still outstanding for the consideration, if any, received by
the Corporation therefor and to be received on the basis of such
changed price; and on the expiration of any such option or right or
the termination of any such right to convert or exchange such
Convertible Securities, the conversion price then in effect
hereunder shall forthwith be increased to such conversion price as
would have obtained had the adjustments made upon the issuance of
such rights or options or Convertible Securities been made upon the
basis of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock theretofore
actually delivered (and the total consideration received therefor)
upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities. If the purchase price
provided for in any right or option referred to in clause (1) of
subparagraph (b), or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
referred to in clause (1) or clause (3) of subparagraph (b) are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, shall decrease at
any time under or by reason of provisions with respect thereto
designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the delivery
of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such right or option or
upon conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the
conversion price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be
decreased to such conversion price as would have obtained had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such
<PAGE>
right, option or Convertible Security been made upon the basis of
the issuance of (and the total consideration received for) the shares
of Common Stock delivered as aforesaid.
f. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Corporation, or consolidation or merger of the
Corporation with another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of its assets to another corporation shall be
effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or
in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holders of
Series II Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive
upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein
and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation
immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of Series II
Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may
be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of
shares of such stock immediately theretofore receivable upon the
conversion of Series II Preferred Stock had such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place,
plus all dividends unpaid and accumulated or accrued thereon to the
date of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger
or sale, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made
with respect to the rights and interests of the holders of Series II
Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions hereof (including
without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Conversion
Price and of the number of shares receivable upon the conversion of
Series II Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter receivable upon the conversion of Series II Preferred
Stock. The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation,
merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (if other than the Corporation) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such
assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed to the
registered holders of Series II Preferred Stock, at the last
addresses of such holders appearing on the books of the Corporation,
the obligation to deliver to such holders such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holders may be entitled to receive.
g. In case at any time:
(1) the Corporation shall declare any cash dividend on its
Common Stock at a rate in excess of the rate of the last
cash dividend theretofore paid;
<PAGE>
(2) the Corporation shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon
its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than
regular cash dividends) to the holders of its Common Stock;
(3) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock
of any class or other rights;
(4) there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with, or sale of
all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation; or
(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give
written notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to
the registered holders of Series II Preferred Stock at the addresses
of such holders as shown on the books of the Corporation, of the
date on which (a) the books of the Corporation shall close or a
record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or
subscription rights, or (b) such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up
shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also
specify the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up, as the case may be. Such written notice
shall be given at least 20 days prior to the action in question and
not less than 20 days prior to the record date or the date on which
the Corporation's transfer books are closed in respect thereto.
h. If any event occurs as to which in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation the other provisions of this paragraph
(2) are not strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not
fairly protect the rights of the holders of Series II Preferred
Stock in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such
provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an adjustment in
the application of such provisions, in accordance with such
essential intent and principles, so as to protect such rights as
aforesaid.
i. The Series II Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock
only during the period prior to July 23, 1998.
j. As used in this paragraph (2) the term "Common Stock" shall mean and
include the Corporation's presently authorized Common Stock and
shall also include any capital stock of any class of the Corporation
hereafter authorized
<PAGE>
which shall not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage in respect
of the rights of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or
in the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; provided
that the shares receivable pursuant to conversion of shares of
Series II Preferred Stock shall include shares designated as Common
Stock of the Corporation as of the date of issuance of such shares
of Series II Preferred Stock, or, in case of any reclassification of
the outstanding shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets
provided for in subparagraph (g) above.
k. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion, but, instead of any fraction of a share which would
otherwise be issuable, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment
in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction
of the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the close of
business on the day of conversion. "Market Price" shall mean if the
Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or on The NASDAQ
SmallCap Market, the closing price of the Common Stock on such
exchange or The NASDAQ SmallCap Market, or, if the Common Stock is
otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing price,
in each case averaged over a period of 20 consecutive business days
prior to the date as of which "Market Price" is being determined.
If at any time the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or The
NASDAQ SmallCap Market, or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter
market, the "Market Price" shall be deemed to be the higher of (i)
the book value thereof as determined by any firm of independent
public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation as of the last day of any month ending
within 60 days preceding the date as of which the determination is
to be made, or (ii) the fair value thereof determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of a date which is
within 15 days of the date as of which the determination is to be
made.
l. The holders of the Series II Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
the registration rights provided for in Section 11 of the Stock
Purchase Agreement.
(c) DEFINITION. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the definition ascribed to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that W. Edward McConaghay, President of the Corporation,
be, and hereby is, authorized and directed to make and execute a
Certificate of Designation embracing the foregoing resolutions and to cause
such Certificate of Designation to be filed with the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota.
<PAGE>
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designation is hereby executed on
behalf of the Corporation by Brian D. Wenger, its Secretary, this 23rd day of
July, 1997, pursuant to Chapter 302A, Minnesota Statutes.

EXHIBIT 2
WARRANT
TO SUBSCRIBE FOR AND PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF
TELIDENT, INC.
DATED
JULY 23, 1997
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, FAMCO III LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANY (the "Holder") or registered permitted assigns is entitled to purchase
from TELIDENT, INC., (the "Corporation"), a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Minnesota, at the purchase price per share
specified below (subject to adjustment as noted below) at any time or from time
to time from and after the date hereof to and including the Termination Date (as
hereinafter defined) 1,250,000 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Corporation's Common Stock, par value $0.02 per share (the "Warrant Stock")
(subject to adjustment as noted below). This Warrant has been issued in
connection with the purchase from the Corporation of series II convertible
preferred shares of the Corporation (the "Series II Preferred Stock") pursuant
to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 23, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by
and between the Corporation and the Holder. For purposes of this Warrant,
"Termination Date" shall mean 5:00 P.M. Minneapolis time on the second
anniversary hereof unless extended as provided herein. All capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Purchase Agreement.
The purchase price of the Warrant Stock upon exercise of the Warrant
shall be $1.41 per share (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price shall be
subject to adjustment as provided below.
The Holder may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of
its rights or obligations hereunder in accordance with applicable securities
laws.
This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and
conditions:
1. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or
in part, by written notice of exercise delivered to the Corporation thirty (30)
days prior to the intended date of exercise along with the surrender of this
Warrant (properly endorsed if required) at the principal office of the
Corporation and upon payment to it by wire transfer of the Purchase Price for
the number of shares of Warrant Stock which the Holder elects to purchase. The
Corporation agrees that the shares so purchased shall be and are deemed to be
issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close
of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and
payment made for such shares as aforesaid. Subject to the provisions of the
next succeeding paragraph, certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased shall
be delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding 10
days, after the rights represented by this Warrant
<PAGE>
shall have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new
Warrant representing the number of shares, if any, with respect to which this
Warrant shall not then have been exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder
hereof within such time.
2. The Corporation shall have the right to require the Holder to
exercise this Warrant in full (the "Call"), upon the Corporation's giving
written notice to the Holder (the "Call Notice"). The Call may be exercised at
the option of the Corporation at any time if the bid price of the average
Corporation's Common Stock on The NASDAQ SmallCap Market (or such other market
or exchange as such Common Stock may be traded) has equaled or exceeded $1.97
per share for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately
prior to the Call Notice. Upon receipt of such Call Notice, the Holder (i)
shall surrender this Warrant to the Corporation together with payment of the
Purchase Price for the Warrant Stock to be purchased on or before the fifteenth
day following the Corporation's giving of the Call Notice to the Holder, or (ii)
shall decline to exercise the Warrant whereupon the Warrant shall immediately
terminate. If Holder fails to purchase all of the Warrant Stock within such
fifteen (15) day period, the Holder shall be deemed to have declined to exercise
and the Warrant shall immediately terminate.
3. The Corporation covenants and agrees that, upon and after
approval of the Corporation's Amended Articles as defined and set forth in
Section 8.8 of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Stock will, upon issuance, be
duly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation
further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights
represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Corporation will, upon and
after approval of the Corporation's Amended Articles as defined and set forth in
Section 8.8 of the Purchase Agreement, at all times have authorized and reserved
for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the rights evidenced by
this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Warrant Stock to provide for the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event the
shareholders do not approve the Amended Articles in accordance with Section 8.8
of the Purchase Agreement and the Purchaser thereafter seeks to exercise the
Warrant, to the extent that the Warrant Stock is not available for exercise, the
Corporation shall pay to the Purchaser for each share of Warrant Stock that is
not available an amount which is equal to the fair market value of a share of
the Common Stock (determined by the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the
date that the Purchaser provides the Corporation with notice of its intent to
exercise) minus the Purchase Price.
4. The above provisions are, however, subject to the following:
(a) The Purchase Price shall, from and after the date of issuance of
this Warrant, be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price, the Holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of
shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such
adjustment.
<PAGE>
(b) Except for (i) options to purchase shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Corporation's 1988 Stock Option Plan adopted by the Corporation
which are outstanding as of the date hereof and except for shares of Common
Stock issued upon the exercise of such options granted pursuant to such plan and
(ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series II Preferred
Stock or exercise of this Warrant or other warrants or rights to purchase the
securities of the Corporation outstanding as of the date hereof, if and whenever
the Corporation shall issue or sell any additional shares of its Common Stock
for a consideration per share less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to the time of such issue or sale, then, forthwith upon such issue or
sale, the Purchase Price shall be reduced to such lesser price as is determined
by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior thereto by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such
additional shares and the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
consideration received (determined in accordance with this paragraph 4) for the
issuance or sale of such additional shares would purchase at the Purchase Price
then in effect, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance or sale of such
additional shares.
(c) For the purposes of paragraph (b), the following provisions (i)
to (iii), inclusive, shall also be applicable:
(i) In case at any time the Corporation shall grant (whether directly
or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any rights to subscribe for or
to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, (aa) Common Stock or
(bb) any obligations or any shares of stock of the Corporation which are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (any of such obligations
or shares of stock being hereinafter called "Convertible Securities")
whether or not such rights or options or the right to convert or exchange
any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price
per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such
rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities (determined by dividing (cc) the total amount, if any, received
or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting of such
rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such rights
or options, plus, in the case of such rights or options which relate to
Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible
Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (dd) the total
maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
rights or options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights or
options) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior
to the time of the granting of such rights or options on the date of such
grant, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange
of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon
the exercise of such rights or options shall (as of the date of granting of
such rights or options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued
for such price per share. No further adjustments of the Purchase Price
shall be made upon the actual issue of such
<PAGE>
Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such rights
or options or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(ii) In case the Corporation shall issue or sell (whether directly or
by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether
or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately
exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (aa) the total
amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon
the conversion or exchange thereof, by (bb) the total maximum number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of
all such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale
of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been issued for such price per share, provided that if any such issue or
sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any rights to
subscribe for or to purchase or any option to purchase any such Convertible
Securities for which adjustments of the Purchase Price have been or are to
be made pursuant to other provisions of this paragraph (c), no further
adjustment of the Purchase Price shall be made by reason of such issue or
sale.
(iii) In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or
any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible
Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received
therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation
therefor, without deduction therefrom of any expenses incurred or any
underwriting commissions, discounts or concessions paid or allowed by the
Corporation in connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or
Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common
Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration
other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received
by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of such
consideration as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
without deducting therefrom any expenses incurred or any underwriting
commissions, discounts or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in
connection therewith. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities or any rights or options to purchase such Common Stock or
Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger or
consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the
amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation of such portion of
the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation or corporations as
such Board shall determine to be attributable to such Common Stock,
Convertible Securities, rights or options, as the case may be. In the
event of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation in which the
Corporation is not the surviving corporation or in the event of any sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation for stock or
other securities of
<PAGE>
any other corporation, the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued a
number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities of the other
corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the
transaction was predicated and for a consideration equal to the fair market
value on the date of such transaction of such stock or securities of the
other corporation, and if any such calculation results in adjustment of the
Purchase Price, the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such merger,
conversion or sale, for purposes of paragraph (g) below, shall be made
after giving effect to such adjustment of the Purchase Price.
(d) In case the Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend upon the
Common Stock payable in Common Stock (other than a dividend declared to effect a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as described in
paragraph (e) below) or Convertible Securities, or in any rights or options to
purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or (ii) declare any other
dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock payable otherwise
than out of earnings or earned surplus, then thereafter the Holder of this
Warrant upon the exercise hereof will be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Warrant Stock to which Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise,
and, in addition and without further payment therefor, each dividend described
in clause (i) above and each dividend or distribution described in clause (ii)
above which Holder would have received by way of dividends or distributions if
continuously since the issuance of this Warrant, Holder (i) had been the record
Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock then received, and (ii) had
retained all dividends or distributions in stock or securities (including Common
Stock or Convertible Securities, or in any rights or options to purchase any
Common Stock or Convertible Securities) payable in respect of such Warrant Stock
or in respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends or distributions and
originating directly or indirectly from such Warrant Stock. For the purposes of
the foregoing, a dividend or distribution other than in cash shall be considered
payable out of earnings or earned surplus only to the extent that such earnings
or earned surplus are charged an amount equal to the fair value of such dividend
or distribution as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(e) In case the Corporation shall at any time subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately
reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately
increased.
(f) If (i) the purchase price provided for in any right or option
referred to in clause (i) of paragraph (c), or (ii) the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible
Securities referred to in clause (i) or clause (ii) of paragraph (c), or
(iii) the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in clause (i) or
clause (ii) of paragraph (c) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions
designed to protect against dilution), the Purchase Price then in effect shall
forthwith be increased or decreased to such Purchase Price which would have been
obtained had the adjustments made upon the
<PAGE>
issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities been made upon the
basis of (i) the issuance of the number of shares of Common Stock theretofore
actually delivered upon the exercise of such options or rights or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the total
consideration received therefor, and (ii) the issuance at the time of such
change of any such options, rights or Convertible Securities then still
outstanding for the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation therefor
and to be received on the basis of such changed price; and on the expiration of
any such option or right or the termination of any such right to convert or
exchange such Convertible Securities, the Purchase Price then in effect
hereunder shall forthwith be increased to such Purchase Price which would have
obtained had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or options or
Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of the shares of
Common Stock theretofore actually delivered (and the total consideration
received therefor) upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. If the purchase price
provided for in any such right or option referred to in clause (i) of
paragraph (c) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities referred to in
clause (i) or clause (ii) of paragraph (c) are convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock shall decrease at any time under or by reason of provisions
with respect thereto designed to protect against dilution, then in case of the
delivery of Common Stock upon the exercise of any such right or option or upon
conversion or exchange of any such Convertible Security, the Purchase Price then
in effect hereunder shall forthwith be decreased to such Purchase Price as would
have obtained had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such right, option
or Convertible Securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of (and the
total consideration received for) the shares of Common Stock delivered as
aforesaid.
(g) If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital
stock of the Corporation, or consolidation or merger of the Corporation with
another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to
another corporation shall be effected in such a way that the Holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to
or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision
shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to
purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
in this Warrant and in lieu of the shares of the Warrant Stock of the
Corporation immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise
of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, securities or assets as
may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such
stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of
the rights represented hereby had such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, and in any such case appropriate
provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder
of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including without
limitation provisions for adjustments of the Purchase Price and of the number of
shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities
or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Corporation
shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the
consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Corporation)
resulting from such consolidation or merger or
<PAGE>
the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument
executed and mailed to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of
Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, the obligation to deliver to
Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase.
(h) In case any time:
(1) the Corporation shall declare any cash dividend on its
Common Stock or preferred stock at a rate in excess of the rate of the last
cash dividend theretofore paid;
(2) the Corporation shall pay any dividend payable in stock upon
its Common Stock or make any distribution (other than regular cash
dividends) to the Holders of its Common Stock or preferred stock;
(3) the Corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
Holders of its Common Stock or preferred stock any additional shares of
stock of any class or other rights;
(4) there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, or consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with, or sale of all or substantially all of
its assets to, another corporation; or
(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall give written
notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered Holder
of this Warrant at the address of the Holder as shown on the books of the
Corporation, of the date on which (aa) the books of the Corporation shall close
or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, or (bb) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place, as the case may
be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of Common
Stock of record shall participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription
rights, or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case
may be. Such written notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the action
in question and not less than 20 days prior to the record date or the date on
which the Corporation's transfer books are closed in respect thereto.
(i) If any event occurs as to which in the opinion of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation the other provisions of this paragraph 4 are not
strictly applicable or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the
purchase rights of the Holder of this Warrant or of Warrant Stock in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors shall make an adjustment in the application of such provisions,
<PAGE>
in accordance with such essential intent and principles, so as to protect such
purchase rights as aforesaid.
(j) No fractional shares of Warrant Stock shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant, but, instead of any fraction of a share which would
otherwise be issuable, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment (which may be
effected as a reduction of the amount to be paid by the Holder hereof upon such
exercise) in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of
the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the
date of the notice required by paragraph 1 above. "Market Price" shall mean, if
the Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange or on The NASDAQ SmallCap
Market, the closing price of the Common Stock on such exchange or the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market, or, if the Common Stock is otherwise traded in the
over-the-counter market, the closing price, in each case averaged over a period
of 20 consecutive business days prior to the date as of which "Market Price" is
being determined. If at any time the Common Stock is not traded on an exchange
or The NASDAQ SmallCap Market, or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter
market, the "Market Price" shall be deemed to be the higher of (i) the book
value thereof as determined by any firm of independent public accountants of
recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of
the last day of any month ending within 60 days preceding the date as of which
the determination is to be made, or (ii) the fair value thereof determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as of a date which is
within 15 days of the date as of which the determination is to be made.
5. As used herein, the term "Common Stock" shall include the
Corporation's presently authorized Common Stock and shall also include any
capital stock of any class of the Corporation hereafter authorized which shall
not be limited to a fixed sum or percentage in respect of the rights of the
Holders thereof to participate in dividends or in the distribution of assets
upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation; provided that the shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall
include shares designated as Common Stock of the Corporation on the date of
original issue of this Warrant or, in the case of any reclassification of the
outstanding shares thereof, the stock, securities or assets provided for in
paragraph 4(g) above.
6. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Corporation will
not issue any additional capital stock of any class preferred as to dividends or
as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, unless the rights of the Holders thereof shall be
limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par, liquidation or redemption value in
respect of participation in dividends and in the distribution of such assets.
7. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting
rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Corporation.
8. The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give
written notice to the Corporation before transferring this Warrant or
transferring any unregistered Warrant Stock issuable or issued upon the exercise
hereof of Holder's intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any
proposed transfer of this Warrant or Holder's
<PAGE>
intention as to the disposition to be made of shares of Common Stock issuable or
issued upon the exercise hereof. Holder shall also provide the Corporation with
an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation to the effect that the
proposed transfer of this Warrant or disposition of unregistered shares may be
effected without registration or qualification (under any Federal or State law)
of this Warrant or the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon the
exercise hereof. Upon receipt of such written notice and opinion by the
Corporation, Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant, or to exercise
this Warrant in accordance with its terms and dispose of the shares received
upon such exercise or to dispose of shares of Common Stock received upon the
previous exercise of this Warrant, provided that an appropriate legend
respecting the aforesaid restrictions on transfer and disposition may be
endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such shares. The Holder and
any assignee of the Holder shall be entitled to the registration rights provided
in Section 11 of the Purchase Agreement.
9. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof, this Warrant and
all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder hereof
in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender at the principal office
of the Corporation of this Warrant properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of
this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the bearer
of this Warrant, when endorsed, may be treated by the Corporation and all other
persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose
and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant,
or to the transfer hereof on the books of the Corporation, any notice to the
contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the Corporation
may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.
10. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the
Holder hereof at the principal office of the Corporation, for new Warrants of
like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase
the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder, each
of such new Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such
number of shares as shall be designated by said Holder hereof at the time of
such surrender.
11. The Holder of this Warrant and of the Warrant Stock issuable or
issued upon the exercise hereof shall be entitled to the registration rights set
forth in Section 11 of the Purchase Agreement.
12. The obligations contained herein shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13. All questions concerning this Warrant will be governed and
interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal law of the State of
Minnesota.
14. Any notice required to be given to the Corporation under the
terms of this Warrant shall be in writing and addressed to the Secretary of the
Corporation at One Main Street, S.E., Suite 85, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55414.
Any notice required to be given to the Holder shall be in writing and addressed
to the Holder at 600 South Highway 169, Suite 850, St. Louis Park, Minnesota
55426, or such other address as it may designate in
<PAGE>
writing from time to time. All notices shall be deemed to have been given or
delivered upon: personal delivery; five (5) days after deposit in the United
States Mail, certified or registered (return receipt requested); one (1)
business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier
(prepaid) or one (1) business day after transmission by facsimile and receipt of
confirmation of receipt by sender.

Warrant to be signed by their duly authorized officers as of July 23, 1997.

EXHIBIT 3
ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Agreement is entered into this 23rd day of July, 1997, by and among
Telident, Inc. (the "Issuer"), FAMCO III LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (the
"Purchaser"), and Manchester Companies, Inc. (the "Escrow Agent").
WHEREAS, the Issuer has undertaken to offer and sell to the Purchaser in a
private placement transaction shares of its series II convertible preferred
stock and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock (together the
"Securities"), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July
23, 1997 by and between the Issuer and the Purchaser (the "Purchase Agreement");
and
WHEREAS, as a condition of entering into the Purchase Agreement, the
Purchaser requires and the Issuer agrees to provide for the escrow of all
proceeds from the sale of the Securities; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer, the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent desire to enter
into an agreement with respect to the escrow of such proceeds.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PROCEEDS TO BE PLACED IN ESCROW. The Aggregate Purchaser Price shall
be delivered to the Escrow Agent within one (1) business day following the
Closing, and shall be retained in escrow by the Escrow Agent in an account which
allows the Escrow Agent to individually account for funds received and any
interest earned on such funds (the "Escrow Account").
2. INVESTMENT OF PROCEEDS. All funds held by the Escrow Agent pursuant
to this Agreement shall constitute trust property for the purposes for which
they are held. The Escrow Agent shall invest all funds received from the Issuer
in an interest bearing account.
3. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. Upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of
written certification from the Issuer that the Issuer continues to be listed on
The NASDAQ SmallCap Market as of August 14, 1997 (the "Disbursement
Requirement"), the Escrow Agent shall thereafter remit all of the funds held in
escrow (or such lesser amount as the Issuer shall specify) to the Issuer. In
any case, the Issuer shall provide written notification to the Escrow Agent,
prior to the expiration of the Term of Escrow (as defined in Section 4 hereof),
instructing the Escrow Agent as to the manner of disbursement of the funds held
in the Escrow Account. If the Disbursement Requirement has not been met during
the Term of Escrow, then, within a reasonable time, but in no event more than
five (5) business days after the last day of the Term of Escrow, the Escrow
Agent shall refund to the Purchaser at the address shown in Section 7 the
Aggregate Purchase Price, and shall then notify the Issuer in writing of such
refund. Upon such refund, the Purchaser shall return to
<PAGE>
the Issuer any and all Warrants and certificates representing Preferred Shares
delivered to the Purchaser by the Issuer at the Closing. Any interest earned on
the funds deposited with the Escrow Agent shall be applied toward any fees
charged by the Escrow Agent for services provided hereunder, and any balance of
such interest earned shall be transmitted to the Purchaser.
4. TERM OF ESCROW. The term of this escrow agreement (the "Term of
Escrow") shall commence as of the date of this Agreement and terminate at 11:59
p.m. on August 14, 1997. Upon termination hereof, whether after extension or
otherwise, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the funds in the Escrow Account to
the Purchaser in the manner and upon the terms directed in Section 3 hereof.
The Issuer may abandon the sale of the Securities and terminate this Agreement
any time prior to the above date. The receipt by the Escrow Agent of a copy of a
resolution of the Issuer's Board of Directors authorizing said abandonment, duly
attested to by the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, shall be treated as if
the Disbursement Requirement was not met during the Term of Escrow, and the
Escrow Agent shall be authorized to refund to the Purchaser any monies received
therefrom in the manner provided in Section 3 above.
5. DUTY AND LIABILITY OF THE ESCROW AGENT; INDEMNIFICATION. The sole
duty of the Escrow Agent, other than as herein specified, shall be to receive
the Aggregate Purchase Price and hold it subject to release, in accordance
herewith, and the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to determine whether the
Issuer is complying with requirements of this Agreement in tendering to the
Escrow Agent the Aggregate Purchase Price. The Escrow Agent may conclusively
rely upon and shall be protected in acting upon any statement, certificate,
notice, request, consent, order or other document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the Issuer. The Escrow Agent shall have
no duty or liability to verify any such statement, certificate, notice, request,
consent, order or other document, and its sole responsibility shall be to act
only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be under
no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit or proceeding in
connection with this Agreement unless first indemnified to its satisfaction.
The Issuer and the Purchaser, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify and hold
harmless the Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost,
damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
which the Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or
proceeding brought against the Escrow Agent arising out of or relating in any
way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates unless
such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct of the
Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may consult counsel in respect of any question
arising under this Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of such counsel.
6. BINDING AGREEMENT AND SUBSTITUTION OF ESCROW AGENT. The terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on the assigns, creditors or
transferees, or successors in interest, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, of the parties hereto. If, for any reason, the Escrow Agent named
herein should be unable or unwilling to continue as such Escrow Agent, then the
Issuer may substitute another escrow agent.

under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
