OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(1) CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company, and notes thereto, for its fiscal year ended
March 31, 1996.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods
presented.
(2) LIQUIDITY
The Company has incurred significant losses since inception and
operations have not generated cash. To meet cash needs the Company has
obtained cash from borrowings and the sale of equity securities.
In September 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with BNY
Financial Corporation ("BNYFC"), increasing the Company's borrowing
capacity. Borrowing capacity under this agreement is limited to a
percent of eligible assets, primarily receivables, inventories and
property and equipment. At September 30, 1996, the Company had
eligible collateral in excess of the maximum borrowing capacity of
$20,000,000 under the revolving loan agreement. The Company had
borrowed $16,013,000 under the revolving loan and $2,740,000 under the
term loan as of September 30, 1996. In October 1996, BNYFC agreed to
increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the revolving loan from
$20,000,000 to $25,000,000.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company had receivables and costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
relating to the Florida State reimbursement program of approximately
$5,300,000. The program allows the Company to enter into financing
agreements with unrelated entities ("Funders") and assign the right of
the reimbursement to the Funder for the specific reimbursement
application. As of September 30, 1996, the Company has obtained
commitments with Funders for up to $6.2 million of receivables under
the Florida State reimbursement program.
In June and July 1996, certain unit options and underlying warrants
were exercised by the underwriters for net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $2,759,000. In July 1996, the Company sold 500 shares of
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock under Regulation S for
net proceeds of $4,700,000. These proceeds were used to reduce
long-term obligations and the revolving credit loan.
As part of its organizational consolidation, management has continued
to take steps to significantly reduce overhead and is evaluating
further cost reduction and margin improvement programs. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to generate cash from
operations, borrowings or the sale of additional Company equity
securities. Additionally, there
4
<PAGE>
OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
can be no assurance that the Company will be in compliance with the
loan agreement covenants or that eligible assets will be adequate to
support borrowing under the loan agreement. The accompanying
consolidated financial information has been prepared on the basis that
the Company will be able to meet its cash needs and continue as a going
concern.
(3) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of receivables and costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts resulting from
sales to the commercial and retail petroleum industry. Other than
amounts related to Florida and Texas State reimbursement programs,
concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the Company's large
number of customers and their geographic dispersion. At September 30,
1996, the Company had receivables and costs and estimated earnings in
excess of billings on uncompleted contracts relating to Florida and
Texas State reimbursement programs of approximately $5,300,000 and
$6,000,000, respectively.
(4) GOODWILL
In the Company's 1996 annual report, it disclosed that (i) the Company
had assessed the recoverability of goodwill and its dependence upon
certain entities achieving future profitable operations, (ii)
management had taken and continued to take steps to significantly
reduce overhead and is evaluating further cost reduction and margin
improvement programs, (iii) based upon current information and
projections, goodwill will be recovered over the period of benefit, and
(iv) if future profitable operations are not achieved at these
entities, goodwill will be impaired. In the opinion of management,
based on current information and projections, the remaining goodwill
balance at March 31, 1996 will be recovered over the expected period of
benefit. However, if future profitable operations are not achieved at
these entities, goodwill will be impaired.
During the six months ended September 30, 1996, certain entities
continued to incur operating losses. Management is continuing to
monitor the operating performance of these entities in relation to
projections used at March 31, 1996. If the results suggest that
goodwill impairment has occurred, the Company will critically analyze
and measure the aforementioned goodwill for impairment, and a
significant write down is possible.
(5) REVOLVING CREDIT LOAN AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In September 1995, the Company entered into a $30,000,000 Revolving and
Term Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement") with BNYFC. The three-year Loan
Agreement provides for a $10,000,000 term loan and $20,000,000
revolving loan and is secured by the Company's assets. Borrowing
capacity under the Loan Agreement is limited to a percent of eligible
assets (as defined in the Loan Agreement), primarily receivables,
inventories and property and equipment. At September 30, 1996, the
Company had eligible collateral in excess of the maximum borrowing
capacity of $20,000,000 under the revolving loan agreement. The
Company had borrowed $16,013,000 under the revolving loan and
$2,740,000 under the term loan as of September 30, 1996. In October
1996, BNYFC agreed to increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the
revolving loan from $20,000,000 to $25,000,000.
5
<PAGE>
OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
This financing agreement contains covenants which, among other
provisions, require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net
worth, minimum working capital, minimum net income, and other financial
ratios, and restrictions on acquisitions, capital expenditures,
additional indebtedness or liens, payment of dividends, and other
restrictions. As of March 31, 1996, the Company was not in compliance
with certain financial covenants. BNYFC waived these events of default
for March 31, 1996 and modified certain financial and other covenants
consistent with management's forecast. As partial consideration for
these actions, the Company paid BNYFC certain additional fees.
Further, the Company's interest rates through July 31, 1996 were
increased 200 basis points. At September 30, 1996, the Company was in
compliance with these covenants and restrictions.
(6) PREFERRED STOCK
During the first six month period of 1996, 210 shares of Series A
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock")
were converted into 970,899 shares of Common Stock.
In July 1996, the Board of Directors designated 500 shares of the
preferred stock to be Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
("Series B Preferred Stock") and the Company sold these 500 shares
under Regulation S for net proceeds of $4,700,000.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have the right to vote,
together with the holders of all the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, on all matters on which holders of Common Stock have the right
to vote. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have the right to
cast one vote for each share of Common Stock into which each share of
Series B Preferred Stock held by them is convertible. The holders of
Series B Preferred Stock do not have any liquidation preference.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of
Common Stock, through July 30, 1997. The number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued upon conversion is determined by dividing $10,000 by
the lower of (i) $1.83661 or (ii) 85% of the average closing bid price
of the Company's Common Stock over the seven trading-day period
immediately preceding each written notice by a holder of the Series B
Preferred Stock of such conversion. In September 1996, 19 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 134,485 shares of Common
Stock. Additionally, in October 1996, 35 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock were converted into 289,692 shares of Common Stock.
The Company has the right, subject to BNYFC approval, to redeem all of
the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock for $12,200 per share. Unless
redeemed or converted, the Series B Preferred Stock will automatically
convert to Common Stock on July 30, 1997.
(7) UNIT OPTIONS
In June and July 1996, the underwriters exercised 114,011 IPO and
4.59375 Private Placement unit options, including underlying Class A
and B common stock purchase warrants. The Company issued 1,839,555
shares of Common Stock for net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$2,759,000.
6
<PAGE>
OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In January 1995 the Company entered into an agreement in principle to
settle the May 17, 1994 class action lawsuits. On December 5, 1995,
the United States District Court in Seattle, Washington, approved the
class action settlement agreement. Pursuant to such agreement, the
settlement consisted of (i) $250,000 in cash, (ii) $125,000 in cash or
common stock, and (iii) 550,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
However, the Company guaranteed that the Common Stock to be issued in
settlement, as of February 1, 1996 (the "guarantee date"), would have a
minimum value of $9.50 per share. The stock value based upon the 20
trading-day average of the closing market prices of the Company's
Common Stock (as reported in the Wall Street Journal the following day)
through February 1, 1996 was $3.00795. Since the average was less than
$9.50 per share, the Company was required to issue 1,187,063 additional
shares of Common Stock. In April 1996, the Company issued 1,737,063
shares as final settlement.
As of September 30, 1996, principal amounts owing to Funders from the
Florida State reimbursement program for services performed by the
Company were approximately $20,000,000. The reimbursement received by
the Funder may be less than amounts originally submitted due to
deductions for costs which, in the State's opinion, are not allowable
under the regulations. Upon such notification, the Funder may appeal
and/or require the Company to repurchase the denied amount. In
accordance with certain Funder agreements, the Company has placed
approximately $2,251,000 in escrow (classified in other current assets)
to provide security to Funders for any shortfalls. Management believes
the Company has reserved adequate amounts to cover any anticipated
shortfalls.
In 1994 the Company filed a lawsuit against Gilbarco Inc., a unit of
General Electric PLC in the United Kingdom and a major manufacturer of
fuel dispensing equipment, alleging violation of antitrust and other
laws. This action was filed by the Company in response to Gilbarco's
canceling its distributorship arrangement with two of the Company's
operations. On December 4, 1995, in the U.S. Federal Court for the
Western District of Washington, in Seattle, a jury awarded the Company
and two of its operations, $27 million in damages and related interest
and attorneys' fees and costs. While that federal court judge has
since entered a judgment in favor of the Company and denied a motion to
set aside the previously announced judgment, Gilbarco has filed an
appeal. The Company will not recognize the award in its consolidated
financial statements until it is received or assured.
The Company from time to time is subject to ordinary routine litigation
relating to its operations, some of which is covered by insurance, some
of which may not be. The Company may have liability under
environmental laws for work performed by it or its acquired entities,
including clean-up liability under the Super Fund laws or similar state
and local laws. At the current time the Company does not believe that
any litigation it is involved in would result in a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
However, given the nature of environmental lawsuits the Company is or
could be subject to, no assurance can be given that any such lawsuits
may not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material
judgment against the Company. As of the September 30, 1996, the Company
is not subject to any environmental lawsuit brought by any governmental
agency.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors
Omega Environmental, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial information of Omega
Environmental, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1996 and for the
three-month and six month periods then ended. This consolidated financial
information is the representation of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
object of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the consolidated financial information referred to above
for it to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Omega Environmental, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated May 31, 1996, except as to notes 2
and 5(d), which are dated June 26, 1996, we expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information
set forth in the accompanying consolidated financial information as of March
31, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Our report dated May 31, 1996, except as to notes 2 and 5 (d), which are as
of June 26, 1996, on the consolidated financial statements of Omega
Environmental, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended March 31,
1996, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has
incurred significant losses since inception and operations have not generated
sufficient cash to cover current obligations. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, does not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management is focused on improving operations and achieving profitability. In
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, management significantly lowered overhead,
eliminated duplicate functions and facilities, disposed of non-core lines of
business, and significantly downsized two units' operations. The Company is
continuing the process of aligning operations along functional lines on a
national basis including (i) centralizing purchasing and bringing
distribution under one national information system, (ii) consolidating
maintenance services in one nationally coordinated and directed unit, and
(iii) consolidating marketing and sales activities.
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 1995
The Company's net loss increased $215,000 and $655,000 for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. The increase was due
primarily to expenses incurred in centralizing purchasing and distribution,
consolidating maintenance service activities, and increased bank charges, net
of the elimination of redundant overhead costs during the three and six
months ended September 30, 1996. Management expects these additional
expenses to continue until the organization is fully transitioned to the new
functional arrangement.
SALES, COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Sales increased $2,449,000 or 6% and $1,253,000 or 2% for the three months
and six months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, primarily due to the
growth in maintenance repair services and environmental services. Growth was
net of sales from non-core operations included in 1995 and discontinued by
March 1996.
Cost of sales increased $2,404,000 or 8% and $1,352,000 or 2% for the three
and six months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, primarily due to the
increase in sales, and higher than previously estimated costs on certain
fixed-price government construction contracts. Management has decided to
exit this business and has estimated total costs-to-complete these contracts,
but actual final total costs-to-complete could differ from those estimates.
Gross profit margins as a percent of sales decreased by 2% for the three
months and 1% and six months ended September 30, 1996, due to lower margins
on fixed-priced government construction contracts and environmental services.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $413,000 and
$287,000 for the three months and six months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively. The increase included severance and other expenses related to
the operational consolidation of purchasing and distribution, consolidating
maintenance service activities, and increased bank charges, net of the
elimination of redundant overhead costs. As a percentage of sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses remained the same at 19% for the three
and six month periods.

Amortization of goodwill decreased due to the goodwill write-down recorded in
March 1996. Goodwill will continue to have an adverse effect on future
results of operations.
During the six months ended September 30, 1996, certain entities continued to
incur operating losses. Management is continuing to closely monitor and take
action to improve the operating performance of these entities in relation to
projections used at March 31, 1996. If results suggest that goodwill
impairment has occurred, the Company will critically analyze and measure the
aforementioned goodwill for impairment, and a significant write-down is
possible.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
The decrease in interest income and the increase in interest expense for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1996 related to higher interest
rates, increased borrowings and the continued use of cash in operations.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared
to the three months ended June 30, 1996, decreased due to discontinuance of
the default rate in July under the BNYFC Loan Agreement and the repayment of
debt with proceeds from the exercise of unit options and sale of Series B
Preferred Stock.

The Company has incurred significant losses since inception and operations
have not generated cash. Net cash used in operating activities increased
$3,583,000 due to an increase in net loss and changes in certain assets and
liabilities. Cash provided by the reduction of costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, principally related to the
Florida State reimbursement program, was more than offset by cash used in the
increase of receivables and payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The Company's Environmental Services Division has rapidly expanded its
operations in Texas due to favorable changes in the Texas State reimbursement
program. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had receivables and costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings of $6,000,000. Changes in the Texas
State reimbursement program that extend payment terms would adversely impact
the Company's liquidity.
Net cash used in investing activities was $579,000 in the six months of 1996,
as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $1,461,000 in the
same period in 1995. This change is primarily due to the collection of loans
from related parties in 1995. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$8,359,000 in the six months of 1996, as compared to $1,443,000 in 1995.
This increase is primarily due to additional borrowings under the revolving
credit loan to finance cash used in operations. Proceeds
10
<PAGE>
OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
from the sale of preferred stock and exercise of unit options of
approximately $7,700,000 was used to repay borrowings under the revolving
credit and term loans.
Working capital increased $1,288,000 primarily due to a portion of proceeds
from the sale of preferred stock used to repay borrowings under the revolving
credit loan. Long-term obligations, excluding current installments and class
action lawsuit settlement obligation, decreased $5,790,000 due to repayment
of borrowings under the term loan agreement from the proceeds of the exercise
of unit options and sale of preferred stock
As of September 30, 1996, the Company had receivables and costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings of $5,300,000 related to the Florida State
reimbursement program. The Company has obtained commitments to fund up to
$6.2 million of these receivables and costs and estimated earnings in excess
of billings on uncompleted contracts. Management believes, based upon recent
changes in laws governing the Florida State reimbursement program, that the
majority of these receivables and costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on uncompleted contracts will be collected from Funders by December
31, 1996. Management expects to continue to provide services in Florida
under the revised government program that provides for an assigned priority
ranking system, task pre-approval, and payment within 45 days of invoicing of
completed tasks.
In addition, the Company is responsible for any shortfalls related to the
approximately $20 million of billings to the Florida State reimbursement
program for services performed by the Company and paid to the Company by the
Funders. In accordance with certain Funder agreements, the Company has placed
approximately $2,251,000 in escrow (classified in other current assets) to
provide security to Funders for any shortfalls. Management believes the
Company has reserved adequate amounts to cover any anticipated shortfalls.
In September 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with BNY
Financial Corporation ("BNYFC"), increasing the Company's borrowing capacity.
Borrowing capacity under this agreement is limited to a percent of eligible
assets, primarily receivables, inventories and property and equipment. At
September 30, 1996, the Company had eligible collateral in excess of the
maximum borrowing capacity of $20,000,000 under the revolving loan agreement.
The Company had borrowed $16,013,000 under the revolving loan and $2,740,000
under the term loan as of September 30, 1996. In October 1996, the maximum
borrowing capacity under the revolving loan was increased from $20,000,000 to
$25,000,000.
In June and July 1996, certain unit options and underlying warrants were
exercised by the underwriters for net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $2,759,000. In July 1996, the Company sold 500 shares of
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock under Regulation S for net
proceeds of $4,700,000. These proceeds were used to reduce long-term
obligations and the revolving credit loan.
As part of its organizational consolidation, management is continuing to take
steps to significantly reduce overhead and is evaluating further cost
reduction and margin improvement programs. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to generate cash from operations, borrowings or the
sale of additional Company equity securities. Additionally, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be in compliance with the Loan Agreement
covenants or that eligible assets will be adequate to support borrowings
under the Loan Agreement.
In addition to normal operating cash commitments, the Company has the
following existing and planned cash requirements:
11
<PAGE>
OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
- - In accordance with the STC acquisition agreement, additional cash of up
to $875,000 will be paid if certain income levels, as defined in the
acquisition agreement, are achieved for each six month period between
September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1996,
these income levels have not been achieved.
- - Omega Financial facilitates third-party financing primarily for customers
of the Company's operating divisions. In addition to serving as an
intermediary between customers and funding sources, Omega Financial was
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to provide up to $2
million to be held in limited recourse assurances and guarantees to
participating financial institutions. At September 30, 1996, the Company
has guaranteed repayment of certain loans of customers totaling
$1,394,000.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Matters discussed herein contain forward looking statements that involve risk
and uncertainties. The Company's results may differ significantly from
results indicated by forward looking statements. Factors that might cause

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1994 the Company filed a lawsuit against Gilbarco Inc., a unit
of General Electric PLC in the United Kingdom and a major
manufacturer of fuel dispensing equipment, alleging violation of
antitrust and other laws. This action was filed by the Company in
response to Gilbarco's canceling its distributorship arrangement
with two of the Company's operations. On December 4, 1995, in the
U.S. Federal Court for the Western District of Washington, in
Seattle, a jury awarded the Company and two of its operations, $27
million in damages and related interest and attorneys' fees and
costs. While that federal court judge has since entered a judgment
in favor of the Company and denied a motion to set aside the
previously announced judgment, Gilbarco has filed an appeal. The
Company will not recognize the award in its consolidated financial
statements until it is received or assured.
The Company from time to time is subject to ordinary routine
litigation relating to its operations, some of which is covered by
insurance, some of which may not be. The Company may have
liability under environmental laws for work performed by it or its
acquired entities, including clean-up liability under the Super
Fund laws or similar state and local laws. At the current time the
Company does not believe that any litigation it is involved in
would result in a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations. However, given the
nature of environmental lawsuits the Company is or could be subject
to, no assurance can be given that any such lawsuits may not
result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material judgment
against the Company. As of the September 30, 1996, the Company is
not subject to any environmental lawsuit brought by any
governmental agency.
ITEM 2. CHANGE IN SECURITIES
Sales of Unregistered Securities
In July and August 1996, one entity converted 20 shares of Series A
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (sold in fiscal year 1996)
into 111,478 shares of Common Stock.
In July 1996, the Board of Directors designated 500 shares of the
preferred stock to be Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") and the Company sold these 500
shares to eight entities under Regulation S for net proceeds of
$4,700,000. See Note 6 Preferred Stock in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for conversion rights. In September 1996, two
entities converted 19 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into
134,485 shares of Common Stock. Additionally, in October 1996,
four entities converted 35 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into
289,692 shares of Common Stock.
These conversions are exempt under Section 3(a)9 of the Securities
Act of 1933 as exchanges of securities are with existing security
holders without the payment of any compensation.

and also on this Corporation.
NINTH: (a) The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent authorized
or permitted by law (as now or hereafter in effect) any person made, or
threatened to be made, a defendant or witness to any action, suit or proceedings
(whether civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason on the fact that he, his
testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or by
reason of the fact that such director or officer, at the request of the
Corporation, is or was serving any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity.
Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights to indemnification to which
employees, other than directors and officers may be entitled by law. No

any right to indemnification provided hereunder for any acts or omissions
occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived
an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this subdivision
(b) shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability
of any director of the Corporation for or concerning any acts or omissions of
such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute:
(i) the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his
status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
him against such liability under the provisions of law; and
(ii) the Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security
interest and/or use other means (including, without limitation, letters of
credit, surety bonds and/or other similar arrangements), as well as enter into
contracts providing indemnification to the full extent authorized or permitted
by law and including as part thereof provisions concerning any or all of the
foregoing to ensure the payment of such amounts as may become necessary to
effect indemnification as provided therein, or elsewhere.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. has caused this
certificate to be signed by David C. Kravitz, its President, and attested by Leo

CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
----------------------
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware
Omega Environmental, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), in
accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that the following resolution was
duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on December 26, 1995:
RESOLVED that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of
Directors of the Corporation by Article Fourth of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby designates 500
shares of Preferred Stock to be Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
and fixes and determines the voting rights, designations, preferences,
qualifications, privileges, limitations, options and other rights of the 500
shares of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.0025 per
share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation as follows:
1. VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right to vote, together with the holders of all the outstanding shares of Common
Stock ("Common Stock") and not by classes, except as otherwise provided herein
or as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, on all matters on which
holders of Common Stock shall have the right to vote. The holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to cast one vote for each share of
Common Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by them is
convertible, with any fractions rounded up to the next full vote.
The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of
its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws so as to affect adversely the powers,
preferences, qualifications, limitations or rights of the holders of the Series
A Preferred Stock.

<PAGE>
2. LIQUIDATION. Upon any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
not receive out of the assets of the Corporation remaining after the payment of
all debts and liabilities of the Corporation any liquidation preference.
3. CONVERSION RIGHTS. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(a) CONVERSION. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, on or after the forty-first day after the initial sale of the
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Exchange Date"), into fully paid and
nonassessable unlegended shares (rounded up to the nearest full share) of Common
Stock (the "Conversion Shares") at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price")
determined to be the lower of (x) 85% of the average closing bid price of the
Corporation's Common Stock as calculated over the five day trading day period
ending on the day prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement (the "Original
Conversion Price") or (y) 85% of the average closing bid price of the
Corporation's Common Stock as calculated over the five trading-day period
immediately preceding each written notice by a holder of the Series A Preferred
Stock of such conversion. The number of Conversion Shares to be received upon
conversion shall be determined by dividing the Subscription Price per share of
Series A Preferred Stock of $10,000 by the Conversion Price.
(b) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive certificates evidencing Conversion Shares
into which Series A Preferred Stock have been converted, such holder shall give
written notice by telefax to the Corporation of such conversion (the "Conversion
Notice") that such holder wishes to receive certificates evidencing the
Conversion Shares and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder
wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Shares to be
issued. Notice given by telecopier to telecopier number 206-486-3113 shall be
deemed notice for purposes of this paragraph. The Corporation shall be deemed to
have accepted such Conversion Notice provided that the holder shall surrender,
or cause the escrow agent to surrender, the certificate or certificates for the
Series A Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of
any transfer agent for such stock, within seven (7) business days after the
Conversion Notice. Within three (3) business days of the receipt by the
Corporation of the Series A Preferred Stock certificate or certificates, the
Corporation shall issue to such holder, an unlegended certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Shares to which such holder
shall be entitled. Upon tender of the Conversion Shares by the Corporation, the
conversion may be said to have been effected.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS TO ORIGINAL CONVERSION PRICE FOR CERTAIN EVENTS.
(i) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall pay or make a stock dividend or other
distribution (payable otherwise than in cash out of funds legally available
therefor) on any class of Common Stock of the Corporation in Common Stock, the
Original Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Original Conversion Price
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and
the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,
such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that
such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted
to be the Original Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record
date has not been fixed.
(ii) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall (A) subdivide its outstanding Common
Stock, (B) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (C) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Corporation is the continuing corporation) any shares, the Original Conversion
Price in effect at the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any
Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such time shall be
entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if such
Series A Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to such time, such
holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive upon
such subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be
made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur; and in the event
that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Original Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such record date has not been fixed.
(iii) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall issue or sell shares of Common Stock or
any securities of the Corporation convertible or exchangeable into shares of
Common Stock for a
3
<PAGE>
price per share Common Stock (or, in the case of securities of the
Corporation convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, the
price per share of Common Stock for which the shares of Common Stock may at
any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such securities of the
Corporation) less than the greater of Current Market Price (as defined in
paragraph (vi) of this subsection (c)) or the original Conversion Price, then
the original Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the number determined by
multiplying the Original Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
issuance or sale by a fraction, as follows: (A) if issued for a price per
share less than Current Market Price the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
issuance or sale of such Common Stock or other securities plus the number of
such shares of Common Stock (or, in the case of securities convertible or
exchangeable into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion or exchange) so issued or sold, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to the issuance or sale of the shares of Common Stock or other securities
plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration
for such shares of Common Stock or other securities so issued or sold would
purchase at a price per share equal to the Current Market Price and (B) if
issued for a price per share less than the Original Conversion Price, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares of Common Stock or
other securities plus the number of such shares of Common Stock (or, in the
case of securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange) so issued or
sold, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares of
Common Stock or other securities plus the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration for such shares of Common Stock or other
securities so issued or sold would purchase at a price per share equal to
such Original Conversion Price. If shares of Common Stock shall be issued at
a price per share less than both the Original Conversion Price and Current
Market Price, the Original Conversion Price shall be adjusted in the manner
hereinabove set forth which will result in the greater increase in the
Original Conversion Price. For the purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the
date as of which such original Conversion Price or Current Market Price shall
be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Corporation
shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance or sale of such shares of
Common Stock or other securities or (y) the date of the actual issuance or
sale of such shares of Common Stock or other securities.
(iv) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall fix a record
4
<PAGE>
date for the issuance of rights or warrants to all holders of its Common
Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on
such record date, the original Conversion Price in effect at the opening of
business on the day following such record date, shall be reduced so that the
same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Original Conversion
Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering
price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price and the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common
Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following such
record date. Such reduction shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or warrants are not so
issued or (if issued) to the extent not exercised, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Original Conversion Price which would then be in
effect if such record date had not been fixed or such unexercised rights or
warrants had not been issued.
(v) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution, by dividend or otherwise, to all holders of its Common Stock, of
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (x)
any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (i) of this subsection (c)
and (y) any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of funds legally available
therefor of the Corporation), then in each such case the Original Conversion
Price in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the
Original Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock multiplied by the Current Market Price on such record date, less
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the
assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed, and of which the
denominator shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
multiplied by such Current Market Price. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such
distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be
the Original Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date
has not been fixed.
5
<PAGE>
(vi) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (iii),
(iv) and (v) of this subsection (c), the "Current Market Price" on any date
shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for the 10 consecutive
days upon which the principal trading market for the Common Stock is open
selected by the Corporation commencing not less than 20 nor more than 30 days
before the day in question. The Closing Price for any day shall be the average
of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way on Nasdaq, or if the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange,
the last reported sales prices regular way, or if the Common Stock is quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market, the closing sale price, or if not so quoted, as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(vii) No adjustment in the Original Conversion Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least five percent (5%) in such Original Conversion Price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that any adjustment which by reason of this paragraph (vii) is not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this subsection (c) shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be.
(d) MANDATORY CONVERSION; REDEMPTIONS; AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.
(i) The Corporation will have the right to redeem all
conversions and all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the terms
set forth below, provided, however, that holders of Series A Preferred Stock may
continue to submit notices of conversion until the termination of the relevant
notice period and will receive Conversion Shares rather than cash if they submit
such notices prior to the expiration of said notice period.
(ii) The Corporation will have the right, on giving ten days'
written notice to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, as shown on the
records of the Corporation, to redeem any conversion for cash pursuant to the
following formula: ($10,000 divided by .85).
(iii) The Corporation will also have the right, upon giving
ten days' written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, as shown on
the records of the Corporation, to redeem all the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock for cash pursuant to the following formula: ($10,000 divided by .82). A
PREFERRED STOCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT TO COMMON STOCK ONE YEAR AFTER THE
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.
6
<PAGE>
(e) NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
subsection 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) CERTIFICATES AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the Corporation's
President or Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished
to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and
readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock at the
time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Conversion Shares and the
amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(g) NOTICE OF RECORD DATE. In the event that the Corporation shall
propose at any time prior to conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock: (i) to
declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash,
property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and
whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus; (ii) to offer for subscription
pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock (other than the
Series A Preferred Stock) any additional shares of stock of any class or series
or other rights; (iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its
Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or (iv) to
merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation where the Corporation is
not the surviving corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all
of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with
each such event, the Corporation shall send to the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock:
(1) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the
record date for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and
specifying the date upon which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
thereto) or for
7
<PAGE>
determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in
(iii) and (iv) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv)
above, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
4. DIVIDENDS. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to any dividend payment.
5. REGISTRATION. The Corporation hereby agrees that, upon demand or
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or the underlying Common Stock, as a
result of a regulatory development including, but not limited to, an amendment
of Regulation S, or any "no action" or written interpretive guidance from the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which call into question the ability of
Buyer to resell the Series A Preferred Stock without registration, the
Corporation will file, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to become
effective a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any other available form)
under the Securities Act covering the resale of the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Any such registration statement
shall remain effective for up to twelve (12) months, or until all of the shares
of Common Stock are sold, whichever is earlier. The Corporation shall provide
the Buyer with such number of copies of the prospectus as shall be reasonably
requested to facilitate the sale of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall bear all expenses incurred
in connection with any such registration, excluding discounts and commissions
and other expenses of the Buyer (including, but not limited to Buyer's counsel's
fees).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said corporation has caused this Certificate to be
signed by Louis J. Tedesco, its Chief Executive officer and attested by Bradley
Powell, its Assistant Secretary, this 28th day of December, 1995.

OMEGA ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.
-------------------------
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware
-------------------------
Omega Environmental, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), in
accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that the following resolution was
duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on July 25, 1996:
RESOLVED that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of
Directors of the Corporation by Article Fourth of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby designates 500
shares of Preferred Stock to be Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock and fixes
and determines the voting rights, designations, preferences, qualifications,
privileges, limitations, options and other rights of the 500 shares of Series B
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.0025 per share (the "Series
B Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation as follows:
1. VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the
right to vote, together with the holders of all the outstanding shares of Common
Stock ("Common Stock") and Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and
not by classes, except as otherwise provided herein or as required by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, on all matters on which holders of Common
Stock shall have the right to vote. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall have the right to cast one vote for each share of Common Stock into
which each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by them is convertible, with
any fractions rounded up to the next full vote, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if as a
result of the foregoing, the holders of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock
had a number of votes exceeding eight million four hundred thirty-eight thousand
fifty (8,438,450) votes, then the number of votes all outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall equal only eight million four hundred thirty-
eight thousand four
1
<PAGE>
hundred fifty (8,438,450) votes with such number of votes being allocated pro
rata to all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (with fractional
votes being disregarded).
The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any of the provisions of
its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws so as to affect adversely the powers,
preferences, qualifications, limitations or rights of the holders of the Series
B Preferred Stock.
2. LIQUIDATION. Upon any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
not receive out of the assets of the Corporation remaining after the payment of
all debts and liabilities of the Corporation any liquidation preference.
3. CONVERSION RIGHTS. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
(a) CONVERSION. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, on or after the forty-first day after the final sale of the Series
B Preferred Stock, into fully paid and nonassessable unlegended shares (rounded
up to the nearest full share) of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") at a
conversion price (the "Conversion Price") determined to be the lower of (x) 85%
of the average closing bid price of the Corporation's Common Stock as calculated
over the seven day trading day period ending on the day prior to the date of
the Subscription Agreement (the "Original Conversion Price") or (y) 85% of the
average closing bid price of the Corporation's Common Stock as calculated over
the seven trading-day period immediately preceding the day on which each written
notice of such conversion is submitted to the Corporation. The number of
Conversion Shares to be received upon conversion shall be determined by dividing
the Subscription Price per share of Series B Preferred Stock of $10,000 by the
Conversion Price.
(b) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. Before any holder of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive certificates evidencing Conversion Shares
into which Series B Preferred Stock have been converted, such holder shall give
written notice by telefax to the Corporation of such conversion (the "Conversion
Notice") that such holder wishes to receive certificates evidencing the
Conversion Shares and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder
wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Shares to be
issued. Notice given by telecopier to telecopier number 206-486-3113 shall be
deemed notice for purposes of this paragraph. Subject to Section 3(d)(ii)
hereof, the Corporation shall be deemed to have accepted such Conversion Notice
provided that the holder shall surrender, or cause the escrow agent to
surrender, the certificate or certificates for the Series B Preferred
2
<PAGE>
Stock, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for such stock, within seven (7) business days after the Conversion
Notice. Subject to Section 3(d)(ii) hereof, within three (3) business days
of the receipt by the Corporation of the Series B Preferred Stock certificate
or certificates, the Corporation shall issue to such holder, an unlegended
certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Shares to
which such holder shall be entitled. Subject to Section 3(d)(ii) hereof,
upon tender of the Conversion Shares by the Corporation, the conversion may
be said to have been effected.
(c) ADJUSTMENTS TO ORIGINAL CONVERSION PRICE FOR CERTAIN EVENTS.
(i) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall pay or make a stock dividend or other
distribution (payable otherwise than in cash out of funds legally available
therefor) on any class of Common Stock of the Corporation in Common Stock, the
Original Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Original Conversion Price
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and
the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,
such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. Such adjustment shall
be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that
such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted
to be the Original Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record
date has not been fixed.
(ii) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall (A) subdivide its outstanding Common
Stock, (B) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
or (C) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such
reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Corporation is the continuing corporation) any shares, the Original Conversion
Price in effect at the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any
Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such time shall be
entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if such
Series B Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to such time, such
holder would
3
<PAGE>
have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive upon such
subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur; and in the event
that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Original Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such record date has not been fixed.
(iii) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall issue or sell shares of Common Stock or
any securities of the Corporation convertible or exchangeable into shares of
Common Stock for a price per share Common Stock (or, in the case of securities
of the Corporation convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, the
price per share of Common Stock for which the shares of Common Stock may at any
time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such securities of the Corporation) less
than the greater of Current Market Price (as defined in paragraph (vi) of this
subsection (c)) or the original Conversion Price, then the original Conversion
Price shall be adjusted to the number determined by multiplying the Original
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale by a
fraction, as follows: (A) if issued for a price per share less than Current
Market Price the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such Common Stock
or other securities plus the number of such shares of Common Stock (or, in the
case of securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange) so issued or sold,
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of the shares of Common
Stock or other securities plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration for such shares of Common Stock or other securities so
issued or sold would purchase at a price per share equal to the Current Market
Price and (B) if issued for a price per share less than the Original Conversion
Price, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares of Common
Stock or other securities plus the number of such shares of Common Stock (or, in
the case of securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange) so issued or
sold, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares of Common
Stock or other securities plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration for such shares of Common Stock or other securities so
issued or sold would purchase at a price per share equal to such Original
Conversion Price. If shares of Common Stock shall be issued at a price per
share less than both the Original Conversion Price and Current
4
<PAGE>
Market Price, the Original Conversion Price shall be adjusted in the manner
hereinabove set forth which will result in the greater increase in the
Original Conversion Price. For the purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the
date as of which such original Conversion Price or Current Market Price shall
be computed shall be the earlier of (x) the date on which the Corporation
shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance or sale of such shares of
Common Stock or other securities or (y) the date of the actual issuance or
sale of such shares of Common Stock or other securities.
(iv) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of
rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than
the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date, the original
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following such
record date, shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined
by multiplying such Original Conversion Price by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which
the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common
Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current
Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on such record date plus the number of
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction
to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
following such record date. Such reduction shall be made successively whenever
such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or warrants are
not so issued or (if issued) to the extent not exercised, the Conversion Price
shall again be adjusted to be the Original Conversion Price which would then be
in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such unexercised rights or
warrants had not been issued.
(v) In case at any time prior to conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution, by dividend or otherwise, to all holders of its Common Stock, of
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (x)
any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (i) of this subsection (c)
and (y) any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of funds legally available
therefor of the Corporation), then in each such case the Original Conversion
Price in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the
Original Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a
fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
5
<PAGE>
total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by the Current
Market Price on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined
by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, whose determination shall be
conclusive) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so to
be distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock multiplied by such Current Market Price.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is
fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion
Price shall again be adjusted to be the Original Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such record date has not been fixed.
(vi) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (iii),
(iv) and (v) of this subsection (c), the "Current Market Price" on any date
shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for the 10 consecutive
days upon which the principal trading market for the Common Stock is open
selected by the Corporation commencing not less than 20 nor more than 30 days
before the day in question. The Closing Price for any day shall be the average
of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way on Nasdaq, or if the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange,
the last reported sales prices regular way, or if the Common Stock is quoted on
the Nasdaq National Market, the closing sale price, or if not so quoted, as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(vii) No adjustment in the Original Conversion Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least five percent (5%) in such Original Conversion Price; provided, however,
that any adjustment which by reason of this paragraph (vii) is not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this subsection (c) shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be.
(d) REDEMPTIONS; AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.
(i) The Corporation will have the right to redeem all
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the terms set forth below,
provided, however, that holders of Series B Preferred Stock may continue to
submit notices of conversion until the termination of the relevant notice period
and will receive Conversion Shares rather than cash if they submit such notices
prior to the expiration of said notice period. The Corporation will have the
right, upon giving ten days' written notice to the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock, as shown on the records of the Corporation, to redeem all the outstanding
Series B Preferred Stock for $12,200 cash per share of Series B Preferred Stock.
No
6
<PAGE>
redemptions shall be permitted pursuant to this Section 3(d) (i) until forty
(40) days after the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(ii) All unconverted shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall beredeemed by the Corporation on giving ten day's written notice to the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $12,200 cash per share of
Series B Preferred Stock in the event that a Conversion Notice or Conversion
Notices are submitted which, if accepted, would (x) otherwise require the
Corporation to issue Common Stock to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock
in an amount which exceeds eight million four hundred thirty-eight thousand
four hundred fifty (8,438,450) shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or
(y) result in the issuance of Common Stock in excess of the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock provided for in the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company (as amended).
(iii) UNLESS OTHERWISE REDEEMED OR CONVERTED, THE SERIES B
PREFERRED STOCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT TO COMMON STOCK ONE YEAR AFTER THE
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK AT THE CONVERSION PRICE THEN
IN EFFECT.
(e) NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions Of this
subsection 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) CERTIFICATES AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each
adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the Corporation's
President or Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished
to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and
readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock at the
time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Conversion Shares and the
amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
7
<PAGE>
(g) NOTICE OF RECORD DATE. In the event that the Corporation shall
propose at any time prior to conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock: (i) to
declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash,
property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and
whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus; (ii) to offer for subscription
pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock (other than the
Series B Preferred Stock) any additional shares of stock of any class or series
or other rights; (iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its
Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or (iv) to
merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation where the Corporation is
not the surviving corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all
of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, then, in connection with
each such event, the Corporation shall send to the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock:
(1) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the
record date for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and
specifying the date upon which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters
referred to in (iii) and (iv) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv)
above, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
4. DIVIDENDS. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to any dividend payment.
5. REGISTRATION. The Corporation hereby agrees that, upon demand or
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or the underlying Common Stock, as a
result of a regulatory development including, but not limited to, an amendment
of Regulation S, or any "no action" or written interpretive guidance from the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which call into question the ability of
Buyer to resell the Series B Preferred Stock without registration, the
Corporation will file, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to become
effective a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any other available form)
under the Securities Act covering the resale of the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. Any such registration statement
shall remain effective for up to twelve (12) months, or until all of the shares
of Common Stock are sold, whichever is earlier. The Corporation shall provide
the Buyer with such number of copies of the prospectus as shall be reasonably
requested to facilitate the sale of the Common Stock
8
<PAGE>
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation
shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with any such registration,
excluding discounts and commissions and other expenses of the Buyer
(including, but not limited to Buyer's counsel's fees).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said corporation has caused this Certificate to be
signed by Louis J. Tedesco, its Chief Executive officer and attested by Bradley
Powell, its Assistant Secretary,
this 25th day of July, 1996.
