NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes as of June 30, 1999 and for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited but include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and
results of operations of the Company for the interim periods. Certain prior
year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation. The results of operations for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
to be expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this
report should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other
information, including risk factors, set forth for the year ended December
31, 1998 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are strongly encouraged to review the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies are available from the Chief
Financial Officer of the Company at 9577 Chesapeake Drive, San Diego,
California 92123.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following:

------------- -----------------
(Unaudited)
Raw materials..................... $1,722,000 $2,203,000

=========== ===========
A substantial portion of the Company's June 30, 1999 inventory,
approximately $1.7 million, was purchased for the Company's primary
customer. Under the terms of an agreement dated January 5, 1998 between the
Company and the customer, the Company has been and continues to be required
to maintain certain inventory levels as defined by the agreement. The
agreement stipulates that the cost of such inventory will be paid to the
Company should the customer terminate the business relationship. Terms of
the agreement have been used in determining the carrying value of the
Company's June 30, 1999 inventory. The customer can terminate the agreement
with 120 days notice, the agreement is not enforceable should the company
file bankruptcy, and notice expires in October 2000.
3. EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES
The Company has not recorded provisions for any income taxes for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999, since the Company's operations have
generated operating losses for both financial reporting and income tax
purposes. A 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the total
deferred income tax assets as they are not more likely than not to be
realized.
The Company believes that it has incurred an ownership change pursuant to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and, as a result, the Company
believes that its ability to utilize its current net operating loss and
credit carryforwards in subsequent periods will be subject to annual
limitations.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company entered into an operating lease for manufacturing facilities and
corporate offices commencing September 1, 1997, and extending to October 31,
2002. Minimum monthly rental payments of $16,000 began on November 1, 1997,
with scheduled annual increases of 6% to 7% per year beginning November 1,
1998.
The Company also entered into an agreement in 1998 whereby the Company
obtained the use of a piece of test equipment and technical support for such
equipment from a supplier. The agreement calls for minimum annual payments
of $360,000 through 2007, plus the possible acceleration of payments if the
Company obtains new customers with projects that require the use of the
equipment and technical support of the equipment supplier.
In 1999, the Company financed the acquisition of certain machinery and
equipment for a total obligation of $549,000. The amounts are payable over
twelve monthly installments of $46,000 each, ending in April and June 2000.
6. ASIAN CREDITOR LOAN AGREEMENTS GUARANTEED BY MPI
As further described below, and as of the date of this filing, the Company
has signed agreements with each of the eight creditors of the Singapore
subsidiaries which, subject to approval of the Company's shareholders,
proposes to convert and cancel the approximately $28.1 million in debt and
accrued interest owed to those eight creditors, for 9,362,777 shares of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, which will initially be
convertible into 18,725,554 shares of the Company's Common Stock. A further
description of this conversion is set forth below.
With respect to the Company's subsidiaries in Singapore, all of which ceased
operations in 1997 ("Singapore Subsidiaries"), the Company guaranteed
certain debt obligations of the Singapore Subsidiaries ("Guaranty
Obligations"). During 1998, the Company entered into settlement agreements
("Settlement Agreements") with each of the eight creditors of
9
<PAGE>
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Singapore Subsidiaries to whom the Company had a liability under the
Guaranty Obligations ("Singapore Subsidiary Creditors"), pursuant to which
the Company and the Singapore Subsidiary Creditors agreed that the Company
would be released from all of its liabilities under the Guaranty Obligations
in exchange for cash settlement payments in the aggregate amount of
approximately $9.3 million ("Settlement Payments"). The Company was
obligated to pay the entire amount of the Settlement Payments on or about
May 1, 1999 ("Settlement Due Date").
After entering into the Settlement Agreements, the Company determined that
it would not have the ability to pay any portion of the Settlement Payments
by the Settlement Due Date. Therefore, the Company and the Singapore
Subsidiary Creditors negotiated new terms for the settlement of the Guaranty
Obligations, which new settlement terms are set forth in definitive
agreements entered into between the Company and each of the eight Singapore
Subsidiary Creditors during 1999 ("Definitive Agreements"). The Definitive
Agreements provide that the entire amount of the Guaranty Obligations would
be converted into shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock ("Debt to
Equity Conversion") upon approval by a majority of the Company's
shareholders. Based upon extension agreements which were signed by the
Singapore Subsidiary Creditors during July 1999, these creditors have agreed
to an extension of the deadline for the Debt to Equity Conversion to August
31, 1999. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible into
two shares of the Company's Common Stock, have a 3.5% per annum cumulative
dividend, liquidation preferences, registration rights, and certain other
rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Company's Common Stock.
Upon the effective date of the Debt to Equity Conversion, the entire amount
that would be shown on the Company's accompanying financial statements as
"Debt and accrued interest of discontinued operations, in default, due on
demand ("Discontinued Operations Debt"), the aggregate amount of which is
$28,059,000 as of June 30, 1999, would be converted into shares of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock or reflected as a gain on the Company's
Statement of Operations. Upon such conversion, the Discontinued Operations
Debt would be reduced to zero.
The Company currently has filed a Consent Solicitation Statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Assuming approval by the SEC,
this Consent Solicitation Statement will be mailed to all shareholders of
the Company in an effort to obtain shareholder approval for the Debt to
Equity Conversion. If the proposal is not approved by the shareholders of
the Company by August 31, 1999, the Company will request an additional
extension of time beyond August 31, 1999 for a reasonable time to enable the
Company to receive shareholder approval. However there is no assurance that
such request for extensions will be granted.
In connection with one of the Singapore Subsidiary Creditors, the Company
has entered into an agreement with this Singapore Subsidiary Creditor,
pursuant to which all of the rights of such creditor under the Guaranty
Obligations will be assigned to one or more third parties (some of whom are
employees of the Company). All of such third parties have agreed, upon such
assignment, to enter into Conversion Agreements and participate in the Debt
to Equity Conversion on the same terms and conditions as the other Singapore
Subsidiary Creditors ("Creditor Assignment"). The Creditor Assignment will
become effective upon the approval of the Debt to Equity Conversion by the
Company's
10
<PAGE>
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shareholders. In the event the Company is successful in obtaining
shareholder approval of the Debt to Equity Conversion, the Discontinued
Operations Debt will be eliminated in its entirety and the Company will no
longer have any liabilities under the Guaranty Obligations. In addition, if
the Company is successful in completing the Debt to Equity Conversion, the
equity interests of the Company's existing shareholders will be
substantially diluted and the Singapore Subsidiary Creditors, assuming
conversion of all their Series A Preferred Stock on the closing of the Debt
to Equity Conversion, would own a majority of the outstanding Common Stock
of the Company.
7. GOING CONCERN
The Company's accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company (along with its only operating subsidiary, CTM) will continue as
a going concern. A number of factors, including the Company's history of
significant losses, the debt service costs associated with the Guaranty
Obligations and the Company's other debt obligations, and the current
uncertainty regarding whether the Company will successfully complete the
Debt to Equity Conversion, raise substantial doubts about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 1999, the Company has
an accumulated deficit of $67.3 million and a working capital deficiency of
$29.2 million, which includes $28.1 million of liabilities under the
Guaranty Obligations. In the event the Company is not successful in
completing the Debt to Equity Conversion, and any of the Singapore
Subsidiary Creditors demand that the Company pay any portion of the
Settlement Payments or any of the Company's liabilities under the Guaranty
Obligations, the Company would be unable to do so. If the Company fails to
complete the Debt to Equity Conversion, material adverse impacts will occur
with respect to the Company's financial condition and ability to continue as
a going concern. Furthermore, the company believes such failure would be
likely to require the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries to initially seek
bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Code and there can be no assurance any such bankruptcy proceeding would
remain as a chapter 11 proceeding.
8. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain forward-looking
statements which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the
effects of debt restructuring.
11
<PAGE>
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve substantial risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including those set forth in this section and elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, net sales were $2,182,000 as compared
to net sales of $5,825,000 for the second quarter of 1998, resulting in
decreased sales of $3,643,000 or 62%. The decrease in net sales is primarily
the result of decreased shipments to the Company's largest customer. Sales to
this one customer comprised 90% and 91% of total net sales for the second
quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Sales to this customer declined from
$5,039,000 for the second quarter of 1998 to $1,958,000 for the second quarter
of 1999, a decrease of $3,081,000 or 61%. Units shipped to this one customer
declined by 47%, reflecting lower demand from the customer in the second quarter
of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998. Revenue in terms of dollars
declined by more than revenue in terms of units because of a significant shift
in product mix in 1999. Approximately 40% of sales to the Company's largest
customer in 1999 were comprised of the repair and upgrade of multi-chip modules
(MCMs). This repair activity generates only approximately one-fourth of the
dollar revenue as compared to the dollar revenue of newly-built MCMs, thereby
causing a decline in revenue dollars greater than the decline in revenue units.
Such repair activities comprised only approximately 10% of sales for the second
quarter of 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net sales were $3,924,000, representing
a decrease of $9,235,000 or 70% over net sales of $13,159,000 for the
corresponding period of 1998. The decrease in net sales is primarily the result
of decreased shipments to the Company's largest customer. Sales to this one
customer comprised 88% and 93% of total net sales for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The dollar value of shipments to
the Company's largest customer declined by 66% for the six month period ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. Unit shipments to that
same customer declined by 41% over the same comparative periods. Approximately
40% of sales to the Company's largest customer in the six months ended June 30,
1999 were comprised of the repair and upgrade of MCMs, as compared to less than
10% in the six months ended June 30, 1998. This repair activity caused the
decline in revenue dollars to be greater than the decline in revenue units as
described above.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the cost of goods sold was $1,928,000
as compared to $4,559,000 for the second quarter of 1998, a decrease of
2,631,000 or 58%. The decrease in cost of goods sold is partially due to a 41%
decline in total MCM units shipped from 1998 to 1999.
12
<PAGE>
The decrease in units shipped was exacerbated by a 33% decrease in the average
selling price of a unit shipped in 1999 as compared to the corresponding quarter
of 1998. The primary reason for the decrease in average cost per unit sold
results from the change in product mix due to the repair and upgrade activities
described above.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the cost of goods sold was $3,511,000,
representing a decrease of $6,429,000 or 65% over cost of goods sold of
$9,940,000 for the corresponding period of 1998. The decrease in cost of goods
sold is partially due to a 37% decline in MCM units shipped from 1998 to 1999.
The decrease in units shipped was exacerbated by an approximately 50% decrease
in the average selling price of a unit shipped in 1999 as compared to the
corresponding quarter of 1998. The primary reason for the decrease in average
cost per unit sold results from the change in product mix due to the repair and
upgrade activities described above.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $254,000 (12% of net sales) for the second quarter of 1999 as
compared to $1,266,000 (22% of net sales) for the second quarter of 1998. The
decrease in gross profit is attributable to the decrease in sales. The decrease
in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is the result of the change in
product mix, as discussed above, as well as the effect of the absorption of
fixed manufacturing costs over lower sales revenue for the 1999 period as
compared to the 1998 period.
Gross profit was $413,000 (11% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to $3,219,000 (24% of net sales) for the six months ended June
30, 1998. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is the
result of the change in product mix, as discussed above, as well as the effect
of the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs over lower sales revenue for the
1999 period as compared to the 1998 period.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $501,000 for the second
quarter of 1999, representing a decrease of $433,000 or 46% from the second
quarter of 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,047,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, representing a decrease of $663,000 or
39% from the comparative period of 1998. The decreases are the result of a
reduction of consulting fees which had been incurred by the Company in 1998, as
well as reductions in staffing commensurate with the lower sales volume activity
in 1999.
ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Engineering and product development expenses were $178,000 for the second
quarter of 1999 and $370,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
representing decreases of $142,000 or 44% and $222,000 or 38% from the
corresponding periods of 1998, respectively. The decreases are primarily
comprised of decreased use of outside consultants in 1999 as compared to 1998.

<PAGE>
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $507,000 for the second quarter of 1999, representing an
increase of $504,000 from the corresponding quarter of 1998. Interest expense
was $1,013,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, representing an increase
of $1,007,000 from the same period of 1998. The Company had previously recorded
at June 30, 1997 estimated interest on the Guaranty Obligations through December
31, 1998, as part of the estimated loss on its discontinued operations. Since
the Guaranty Obligations have not yet been paid, the Company initiated the
accrual of interest thereon at the beginning of 1999. The Company has accrued
but not paid this interest. No provision for this interest expense was
necessary in 1998 as the Company had accrued interest expense at June 30, 1997
as part of its discontinued operations. See Note 6 to the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for an explanation of how the
Company intends to eliminate the Guaranty Obligations and the associated
interest expense.
OTHER INCOME
Other income was $90,000 for the second quarter of 1999, as compared to $220,000
for the second quarter of 1998. Other income was $91,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $290,000 for the same period of 1998. Other
income for 1999 is primarily comprised of the estimated collection of a
receivable from 1997. Other income for 1998 was comprised of the amortization
of deferred revenue and the collection of an insurance recovery, both of which
were related to the Company's former Singapore operations, and which were
reclassified to discontinued operations at December 31,1998.
EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES
The Company has not recorded provisions for any income taxes for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999, since the Company's operations have generated
operating losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. A 100%
valuation allowance has been provided on the total deferred income tax assets as
they are not more likely than not to be realized.
The Company believes that it has incurred an ownership change pursuant to
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and, as a result, the Company believes
that its ability to utilize its current net operating loss and credit
carryforwards in subsequent periods will be subject to annual limitations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, operating activities of continuing
operations used $212,000. The source of the Company's cash flow during this
period was principally the liquidation of inventory. Investing activities,
consisting principally of the acquisition of fixed assets of continuing
operations, used $11,000. At June 30, 1999, the Company had a working capital
deficiency of $29,219,000 and an accumulated deficit of $67,261,000. At June 30,
1999, the Company had outstanding approximately $28,059,000 of principal and
accrued interest under the Guaranty Obligations.
14
<PAGE>
The Company's sources of available liquidity at June 30, 1999 consisted of
inventories of $2,065,000, trade accounts receivable of $1,489,000 and its cash
balance of $140,000. The Company has no borrowing arrangements available to it.
As indicated in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company has renegotiated its settlement of the Guaranty Obligations, pursuant to
which settlement all liabilities and accrued interest under the Guaranty
Obligations would be converted into 9,362,777 shares of the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock. If the Conversion Agreements are not all finalized, or if the
Company's shareholders do not approve the Debt to Equity Conversion, the entire
liability of $28,059,000 under the Guaranty Obligations, which is currently in
default, will be immediately due and payable.
FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
Status as a Going Concern. The Company's independent certified public
accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit report with
respect to the Company's 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995 consolidated financial
statements related to a substantial doubt with respect to the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Absent outside debt or equity financing, and
excluding significant expenditures required for the Company's major projects and
assuming the Company is successful in restructuring its liability under the
Guaranty Obligations, the Company currently anticipates that cash on hand and
anticipated cash flow from operations may be adequate to fund its operations in
the ordinary course throughout 1999 and 2000. In the event the Company is not
successful in completing the Debt to Equity Conversion, and any of the Singapore
Subsidiary Creditors demand that the Company pay any portion of the Settlement
Payments or any of the Company's liabilities under the Guaranty Obligations, the
Company would be unable to do so. If the Company fails to complete the Debt to
Equity Conversion, material adverse impacts will occur with respect to the
Company's financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.
Furthermore, the Company believes such failure would be likely to require the
Company and its U.S. subsidiaries to initially seek bankruptcy protection under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code and there can be no assurance
any such bankruptcy proceeding would remain as a Chapter 11 proceeding. Further,
any significant increase in planned capital expenditures or other costs or any
decrease in or elimination of anticipated sources of revenue could cause the
Company to restrict its business and product development efforts. If adequate
revenues are not available, the Company will be unable to execute its business
development efforts and may be unable to continue as a going concern. There can
be no assurance that the Company's future consolidated financial statements will
not include another going concern explanatory paragraph if the Company is unable
to restructure its liability under the Guaranty Obligations and become
profitable. The factors leading to and the existence of the explanatory
paragraph will have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to obtain
additional financing.
Risk of Bankruptcy. If the Company is not able to restructure its liabilities
under the Guaranty Obligations, the Company believes it will initially file for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code or if a
Chapter 11 bankruptcy cannot be completed, the company may be liquidated under
Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code. There can be no assurance that
if the Company decides to reorganize under the applicable laws of the United
States that such reorganizational efforts would be successful or that
shareholders would receive any distribution on account of their ownership of
shares of the Company's stock. Similarly, there can be no assurances that if the
Company decides to liquidate under the applicable laws of the United States that
such liquidation would result in the shareholders receiving any distribution on
account of their ownership of shares of the Company's stock. In fact, if the
Company were to be reorganized or liquidated under the applicable laws of the
United
15
<PAGE>
States, the bankruptcy laws would require (with limited exceptions) that the
creditors of the Company be paid before any distribution is made to the
shareholders.
Certain Obligations of MPS. In connection with Microelectronic Packaging (S)
Pte. Ltd. ("MPS") borrowing from Citibank N.A., Motorola guaranteed (and
subsequently satisfied MPS' obligation) $2.2 million in borrowings from
Citibank N.A. Under the terms of the agreement relating to Motorola's guarantee,
MPI granted Motorola a security interest in all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of MPS, CTM Electronics, Inc. ("CTM") and Microelectronic
Packaging America ("MPA"). While in default, Motorola may have the right to vote
and give consents with respect to all of the issued and outstanding capital of
MPS, CTM and MPA. As a result, during the continuation of any such event of
default, MPI may be unable to control at the shareholder level the direction of
the subsidiaries that generate substantially all of the Company's revenues and
hold substantially all of the Company's assets. Any such loss of control would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial
condition, results of operations and status as an ongoing concern and could
force the Company to seek protection under what it believes would initially be
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code or similar bankruptcy laws of
Singapore however there can be no assurance it would remain a Chapter 11. The
other Asian debt agreements contain numerous restrictions and events of default
that have been triggered by the aforementioned actions and would, if they became
effective and operative, materially adversely affect the Company's business,
prospects, results of operations, condition and status as an ongoing concern and
could force the Company to seek protection under what it believes would
initially be Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code or similar
bankruptcy laws of Singapore however there can be no assurance it would remain a
Chapter 11.
In July 1999, the Company and Motorola signed a definitive agreement which calls
for the conversion of all the Company's liabilities to Motorola under the
Guaranty Obligations into shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, as
explained in Note 6 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
its efforts to obtain Shareholder approval to complete this Debt to Equity
Conversion Agreement.
Reliance on Schlumberger. Sales to one customer, Schlumberger, accounted for
90% of the Company's net sales in the second quarter of 1999 and is expected to
continue to account for most of the Company's net sales in 1999. Under the
agreement between Schlumberger and the Company entered into in January 1998, the
Company is obligated to provide Schlumberger with its requirements for MCM
product. Given the Company's anticipated continued reliance on its MCM business
as a large percentage of overall net sales, the failure to meet Schlumberger's
requirements will materially adversely affect the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. In addition, under the terms of the agreement, Schlumberger
is entitled to request repricing of the Company's products. Schlumberger has
requested repricing on several occasions in the past. Such repricing in the
future may result in the Company being unable to produce the products made for
Schlumberger with an adequate operating profit, and the Company may be unable to
compete with the prices of other vendors who supply the same or similar products
to Schlumberger. The failure to satisfy the terms of the agreement, or the
failure of the Company to achieve an operating profit under the contract, would
have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition,
and results of operation.

Year 2000 Compliance. Many currently installed computer systems and software
products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field.
These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish
21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, in less than one year,
computer systems and/or software used by many companies may need to be upgraded
to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Significant uncertainty exists in
the software industry and in other industries concerning the potential effects
associated with such compliance. Although the Company currently offers products
that are designed to be Year 2000 compliant, there can be no assurance that the
Company's products and the software products used by the Company contain all
necessary date code changes. As of June 30, 1999, the Company has partially
completed an analysis of its readiness for compliance with the Year 2000 change.
Its assessment of its manufacturing systems and company products reveals that no
known Year 2000 issues currently exist either in the products, their raw
materials, or their relationship as components to larger systems produced by its
customers; its financial systems software has been upgraded to a newer
replacement system, and which system is Year 2000 compliant; documentation
systems that currently use fixed dating are Year 2000 compliant, while those
that require revision dating are currently under review; and approximately 50%
of the Company's computing hardware systems have been upgraded to be Year 2000
compliant. The Company's costs to become Year 2000 compliant as of June 30,
1999 have been $235,000 for computer software and $48,000 for computer hardware.
The Company has not yet completed its analysis of its readiness for compliance
with the Year 2000 change. Based upon the partial analysis described above, the
Company believes its exposure to Year 2000 risks is limited because the majority
of the Company's recordkeeping systems are new and compliant and have been
installed within the last two years. The Company utilizes no custom-programmed
"legacy" software or hardware systems known to need Year 2000 upgrading or
conversion. The Company believes it should be fully compliant with its Year
2000 issues by the end of the third quarter of 1999 when it believes it will
have completed due diligence of its internal systems and supplier compliance
requirements, as well as completed the remaining 50% of its computing hardware
upgrades needed. However, there can be no assurance that conditions or events
may occur during the course of the completion of this analysis which will have
an adverse impact on the Company's readiness for compliance with the Year 2000
change. In addition, the Company cannot be certain that its suppliers, service
providers and customers will be Year 2000 compliant. The failure of these
companies to be fully compliant could create critical cash shortages to the
Company due to the inability of customers to send payments to the Company. In
addition, any product shortages from suppliers, or service shutdowns from the
Company's utility or communications providers could potentially shut down the
Company's manufacturing operations, thereby causing a material adverse impact on
the Company's operations and liquidity.
The Company believes that the purchasing patterns of customers and potential
customers and the performance of vendors may be affected by Year 2000 issues in
a variety of ways. Many companies are expending significant resources to
correct or patch their current software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These
expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase products such as
those offered by the Company or the inability to render services or provide
supplies to the Company. Year 2000 issues may cause other companies to
accelerate purchases, thereby causing an increase in short-term demand and a
consequent
17
<PAGE>
decrease in long-term demand for software products, and disruption of supply
patterns. Additionally, Year 2000 issues could cause a significant number of
companies, including current Company customers and vendors, to spend significant
resources upgrading their internal systems, and as a result consider switching
to other systems or suppliers. Any of the foregoing could result in a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has no derivative financial instruments.
The Company has outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 1999 to DBS denominated in
Singapore dollars of approximately Singapore $737,000 (U.S. equivalent
$445,000). All of the Company's other indebtedness is denominated in U.S.
dollars, and all other Singapore-based assets have been liquidated by the
receiver of MPM or MPS and used to retire outstanding indebtedness.
Accordingly, the Company believes its exposure to foreign currency rate
movements is limited.

DEBT CONVERSION
AND
MUTUAL SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
THIS DEBT CONVERSION AND MUTUAL SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
("Conversion Agreement") is entered into at San Diego, California, effective as
of June 3, 1999 ("Effective Date"), between Microelectronic Packaging, Inc.
("MPI"), on behalf of itself and its predecessors, successors, former and
current subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, agents,
attorneys, representatives, insurers, employees and assigns (collectively with
MPI the "MPI Group"); and Motorola, Inc. ("Motorola") and their respective
predecessors, successors, former and current subsidiaries, affiliates,
shareholders, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, representatives, insurers,
employees and assigns (collectively with Motorola the "Investor Group").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to two separate One Million US Dollars
(US$1,000,000) Term Loan Facility Agreements by and among Microelectronic
Packaging (S) Pte Ltd ("MPS"), Motorola and Citibank, N.A., Singapore Branch
("Citibank") dated November 8, 1995 and February 1, 1996, respectively (the
"Loan Agreements"), Citibank loaned Two Million US Dollars (US$2,000,000) to
MPS, a subsidiary of MPI currently in liquidation, which loan amounts Motorola
guaranteed and which Loan Agreements call for certain payments and interest
amounts which were thereafter due and payable periodically;
WHEREAS, MPI, Motorola, CTM Electronics, Inc. ("CTM") and
Microelectronic Packaging America ("MPA"), entered into an Agreement Relating to
Guarantee in connection with Motorola's guarantee of MPS' obligations under the
Loan Agreements (the "Guarantee"), pursuant to which, among other things, (i)
MPI, MPA and CTM agreed to indemnify Motorola for any payments Motorola may be
required to make as guarantor under the Loan Agreements, (ii) MPI delivered to
Motorola stock certificates representing all of the outstanding capital stock of
each of MPA, CTM and MPS (the "Stock Certificates") and irrevocable proxies to
permit Motorola to vote the shares represented by the Stock Certificates (the
"Irrevocable Proxies"), and (iii) MPI, MPA and CTM granted Motorola a security
interest in all of the assets of each of MPI, MPA and CTM;
WHEREAS, MPA and Citicorp USA, Inc. ("Citicorp") entered into a
Promissory Note dated May 13, 1997, pursuant to which Citicorp loaned Two
Million Two Hundred Eight Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Eight US Dollars
(US$2,208,538) to MPA "1997 Note", the proceeds which MPA used to repay in full
the balance due to Citibank under the Loan Agreements. The 1997 Note calls for
certain payments and interest amounts, which were thereafter due and payable
periodically. The 1997 Note was amended by an Amendment dated July 11, 1997, a
Second Amendment dated September 9, 1997, a Third Amendment dated December 8,
1997, and a Fourth Amendment dated January 30, 1998;
<PAGE>
WHEREAS, MPS defaulted under the 1997 Note, as amended, and Motorola
has paid all amounts due to Citicorp under the 1997 Note. As a result, Motorola
is subrogated to all of Citicorp's rights against MPI, CTM and MPA and any
collateral therefor; and MPI, CTM and MPA are obligated to indemnify Motorola
under the Guarantee.
WHEREAS, in an effort to restructure and settle all of MPI's and CTM's
obligations under the Guarantee, MPI, CTM and Motorola entered into a
Forbearance, Restructureand Mutual Release Agreement dated July 1, 1998,
pursuant to which MPI agreed to make certain payments to Motorola, in exchange
for the agreement of Motorola to reduce the amount of MPI's obligations under
the Guarantee ("Restructuring Agreement"). Contingent upon MPI's performance of
its obligations under the Restructuring Agreement, the Restructuring Agreement
provided that all obligations of MPI under the Guarantee would be deemed settled
and Motorola would release MPI and CTM from any further obligations with respect
thereto.
WHEREAS, MPI is not able to comply with its payment obligations under
the Restructuring Agreement.
WHEREAS, the MPI Group with respect to the Investor Group, and the
Investor Group with respect to the MPI Group, desire to finally settle all of
their respective rights and obligations under the Loan Agreements, the
Guarantee, the 1997 Note, Restructuring Agreement and all amendments thereto,

8.9 Litigation: Except as set forth in this Section 8.9, there
----------
is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation ("Action")
pending (or, to the best of MPI's
11
<PAGE>
knowledge, currently threatened) against MPI, its activities, properties or
assets or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, against any officer, director or
employee of MPI in connection with such officer's, director's or employee's
relationship with, or actions taken on behalf of, MPI. To the best of MPI's
knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis for any such Action that might
result, individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the
business, properties, assets, financial condition, affairs or prospects of MPI.
MPI is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality, and there is no Action by MPI currently pending or which MPI
intends to initiate (other than claims for monetary damages asserted by MPI
against International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") under the Purchase
Option Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM and MPI and the Multilayer
Technology Transfer and Licensing Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM
and MPI). MPI is a defendant in a lawsuit filed on December 18, 1998, against
MPI and Schlumberger Technologies, Inc., in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York ("Lawsuit"). The plaintiffs in the Lawsuit are
Gary Stein and Lewis Solomon. Both Mr. Solomon and Mr. Stein are former
directors of MPI. The Lawsuit alleges the following claims against MPI:
(a) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less Than
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) allegedly owed to Lewis Solomon as
compensation for services performed by him as the former Chairman of MPI's Board
of Directors;
(b) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($71,250) allegedly owed in the
aggregate to Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon as compensation under a consulting
agreement;
(c) Wrongful termination of a consulting agreement, for
which wrongful termination Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon allege damages in the
aggregate of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000);
(d) Tortious interference with Mr. Stein's and Mr.
Solomon's prospective economic relationships and business advantages as
consultants and directors of public corporations, presumably arising out of
MPI's termination of their consulting agreement, for which Mr. Stein and Mr.
Solomon allege damages in the aggregate of not less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000);
(e) Costs and expenses incurred in the Lawsuit in an
unspecified amount.
MPI believes the claims made by Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon against
MPI in the lawsuit are completely without merit. MPI is actively and vigorously
defending the lawsuit, and has made substantial counterclaims against Mr. Stein
and Mr. Solomon.

received by Motorola, and MPI's common stock issuable upon conversion thereof
(collectively the "Securities") will be acquired for investment and not with a
view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Motorola has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. By executing this Conversion Agreement, Motorola further
represents that Motorola does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.
9.3 Disclosure of Information. Motorola believes it has
-------------------------
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to acquire the Securities. Motorola further represents that it has had
an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from MPI regarding the terms
and conditions of the Transaction Documents and the business, properties,
prospects and financial condition of MPI.
9.4 Investment Experience. Motorola acknowledges that it is
---------------------
able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.
Motorola has carefully evaluated its financial resources and investment position
and the risks associated with an investment in the Securities, and acknowledges
that it is able to bear the economic risks of this investment. Motorola further
acknowledges that its financial condition is such that it is not under any
present necessity or constraint to dispose of the securities to satisfy any
existing or contemplated debt or undertaking. Motorola also represents it has
not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
9.5 Restricted Securities. Motorola understands that the
---------------------
Securities are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws of the United States, inasmuch as they are being acquired from
MPI in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws
and applicable regulations the Securities may be resold without registration
only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Motorola represents
that it is familiar with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144, as
presently in effect,
14
<PAGE>
and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and generally by the
federal securities laws of the United States. Motorola further understands that
the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("33 Act") or qualified or otherwise registered under the applicable
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, that any disposition of the
Securities by Motorola is subject to restrictions imposed by federal and state
laws, that the stock certificates representing the Securities will bear a
restrictive legend stating that Motorola cannot dispose of the Securities absent
such registration and qualification, except pursuant to any available exemption
from such registration and qualification.
9.6 Further Restrictions on Transfer. Without in any way
--------------------------------
limiting the representations set forth above in this Section 9, Motorola further
agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities
unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of MPI to
be bound by the provisions of Sections 9.3 through 9.7 hereof, and the
provisions of the Registration Agreement, to the extent such sections and such
agreement are then applicable, and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under
the 33 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(b) Motorola shall have notified MPI of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished MPI with a detailed statement of the
circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested
by MPI, Motorola shall have furnished MPI with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to MPI, that such disposition will not require registration of the
Securities in question under the 33 Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for
any transfer of any Securities in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or Rule 144A; or
(ii) for any transfer of any Securities by a holder thereof that is a
partnership or a corporation to: (1) a partner of such partnership or a
shareholder of such corporation; (2) a retired partner of such partnership who
retires after the date hereof; or (3) the estate of any such partner or
shareholder; provided, that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees
--------
in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 9 to the same extent as if
the transferee were an original purchaser of Securities hereunder.
9.7 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the
------------------
Series A Preferred Stock or any other securities issued in respect of the Series
A Preferred Stock or upon the conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in the following form, in addition to any legend
required pursuant to applicable state securities laws:

THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, OR (b) UNLESS
AN EXEMPTION FROM ANY SUCH REGISTRATIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS IS AVAILABLE AND THE
ISSUER HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT
SUCH REGISTRATIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
9.8 Foreign Persons. If Motorola is not a United States person,
---------------
Motorola hereby represents that (a) it has satisfied itself as to the full
observance of the laws of its own jurisdiction in connection with any
acquisition of the Securities, including without limitation (i) the legal
requirements within such jurisdiction applicable to the acquisition of the
Securities; (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such
acquisition; (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be
obtained; and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may
be relevant to the acquisition, holding, sale or transfer of the Securities; and

obligations of MPI and/or DBS pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Conversion Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.
8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of MPI. In addition to
-------------------------------------------------
any representations and warranties MPI may make to DBS elsewhere in this
Conversion Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or in any other document
delivered to DBS in connection herewith, MPI represents and warrants to DBS that
the statements contained in this Section 8 are true, accurate, complete, and not
misleading in any material respect, and also shall be so as of the Conversion
Date.
8.1 Organization and Good Standing, and Other Status. MPI is a
------------------------------------------------
corporation, legally and validly incorporated, organized and existing under the
laws of the State of California. MPI is in good standing as certified by both
the California Secretary of State and the California Franchise Tax Board.
8.2 Authority to Conduct Business. MPI possesses full corporate
-----------------------------
power and lawful authority to own, lease and operate its assets, and to carry on
its business as presently conducted. MPI is duly and legally qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each country, state, county, city or other
jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse
impact on MPI's business.
8.3 Authority Regarding this Agreement.
----------------------------------
8.3.1 MPI has the complete and unrestricted right, power,
authority and capacity to (a) execute and deliver this Conversion Agreement, the
Ancillary Agreements and every other document executed and delivered by MPI to
DBS in connection therewith (collectively the "Transaction Documents"); and (b)
carry out and perform each of MPI's obligations pursuant to the Transaction
Documents.
8.3.2 As of the Conversion Date, no further corporate or

10
<PAGE>
8.3.3 This Conversion Agreement has been, and, as of the
Conversion Date all of the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and
validly executed and delivered by MPI, and when so executed and delivered, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of MPI, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions
contained in the Registration Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.
8.3.4 The execution, delivery and performance of this
Conversion Agreement by MPI and the consummation by MPI of the transactions
contemplated herein do not (a) violate any provision of MPI's Restated Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) conflict with or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which MPI is a
party, (c) create or impose a lien, charge, or encumbrance on any material
property of MPI under any agreement or any commitment to which MPI is a party or
by which MPI is bound or by which any of its properties or assets are bound, or
(d) result in a violation of any federal, state, local, or to the best of MPI's
knowledge, any foreign statute, rule regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to MPI
or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of MPI or any of
its subsidiaries are bound or affected, the violation of which would have a
material adverse effect. MPI is not required under federal, state or local law,
rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any
filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Conversion
Agreement, or to issue or sell the Series A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the
terms thereof, except for such filings as the Company may be required to make
with the SEC and/or the California Department of Corporations and/or any other
applicable authority ("Required Filings"). The Company hereby represents and
warrants that the Required Filings will be made in the manner required by law in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Conversion Agreement. For
purposes of this Section 8.3.4, the term "material adverse effect" means any
effect on the business, operations, properties or financial condition of MPI
that is material and adverse to MPI and its subsidiaries and affiliates, taken
as a whole, and/or any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit
or otherwise interfere with the ability of MPI to enter into and perform any of
its obligations under this Conversion Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents in any material respect.
8.4 Valid Issuance of Preferred and Common Stock. Prior to the
---------------------------------------------
issuance thereof the Series A Preferred Stock will have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action and, when issued and delivered in accordance with
the terms of this Conversion Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than
those stated in this Conversion Agreement and/or that may arise under applicable
state and federal securities laws. The common stock of MPI issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock has been duly and validly reserved
for issuance by all
11
<PAGE>
necessary corporate action and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of
the Certificate of Amendment, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than those
stated in this Conversion Agreement and/or that may arise under applicable state
and federal securities laws.
8.5 Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of,
---------
or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state or local governmental authority or any third party on the part of
MPI is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Conversion Agreement, except (i) the filing of the
Certificate of Amendment with the California Secretary of State; (ii) the filing
required pursuant to Section 25102(f) of the California Corporate Securities Law
of 1968, as amended, and the rules thereunder, which filing will be effected
within fifteen (15) days after the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant hereto.
8.6 Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the
--------
representations of DBS set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement, the issuance of
the Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by the Transaction Documents is
exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of any applicable
state and federal securities laws, and neither MPI nor any authorized agent
acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of
such exemption.
8.7 Disclosure. To the best of MPI's knowledge, neither this
----------
Conversion Agreement, the Transaction Documents nor any document MPI has filed
or will file with the SEC that is furnished to DBS by or on behalf of MPI or any
subsidiary of MPI in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Conversion Agreement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or
therein, in light of the circumstances under and at the time at which they were
made herein or therein, not misleading.
8.8 Brokers. MPI has not taken any actions in connection with
-------
the negotiations relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby that could give rise to an obligation on the part of DBS to
pay any brokerage or finder's fee, commission or similar compensation to any
party in connection therewith.
8.9 Litigation: Except as set forth in this Section 8.9, there
----------
is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation ("Action")
pending (or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, currently threatened) against MPI,
its activities, properties or assets or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, against
any officer, director or employee of MPI in connection with such officer's,
director's or employee's relationship with, or actions taken on behalf of, MPI.
To the best of MPI's knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis for any such
Action that might result, individually or in the aggregate, in any material
adverse change in the business, properties, assets, financial condition, affairs
or prospects of MPI. MPI is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality, and there is no Action by MPI currently pending or which MPI
intends to initiate (other than claims for monetary damages asserted by MPI
against International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") under the Purchase
Option Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM and MPI and the Multilayer
Technology Transfer and Licensing Agreement dated August 4, 1994,
12
<PAGE>
between IBM and MPI). MPI is a defendant in a lawsuit filed on December 18,
1998, against MPI and Schlumberger Technologies, Inc., in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York ("Lawsuit"). The plaintiffs
in the Lawsuit are Gary Stein and Lewis Solomon. Both Mr. Solomon and Mr. Stein
are former directors of MPI. The Lawsuit alleges the following claims against
MPI:
(a) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) allegedly owed to Lewis Solomon as
compensation for services performed by him as the former Chairman of MPI's Board
of Directors;
(b) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($71,250) allegedly owed in the
aggregate to Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon as compensation under a consulting
agreement;
(c) Wrongful termination of a consulting agreement, for
which wrongful termination Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon allege damages in the
aggregate of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000);
(d) Tortious interference with Mr. Stein's and Mr.
Solomon's prospective economic relationships and business advantages as
consultants and directors of public corporations, presumably arising out of
MPI's termination of their consulting agreement, for which Mr. Stein and Mr.
Solomon allege damages in the aggregate of not less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000);
(e) Costs and expenses incurred in the Lawsuit in an
unspecified amount.
MPI believes the claims made by Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon against
MPI in the lawsuit are completely without merit. MPI is actively and vigorously
defending the lawsuit, and has made substantial counterclaims against Mr. Stein
and Mr. Solomon.
8.10 Capitalization. The capitalization of MPI immediately prior
--------------
to the Conversion Date will consist of the following:
(a) Preferred Stock. A total of Nine Million Three Hundred
---------------
Sixty Two Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Eight (9,362,778) authorized shares of
preferred stock, no par value per share, consisting of Nine Million Three
Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Eight (9,362,778) shares
designated as Series A Preferred Stock, none of which will be issued and
outstanding. Upon the DBS Conversion and Other Creditor Conversions, the rights,
preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock will be as stated in
MPI's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended by the
Certificate of Amendment, and as provided by law.
13
<PAGE>
(b) Common Stock. A total of Fifty Million (50,000,000)

outstanding.
(c) Options, Warrants, Reserved Shares. Except for: (i) the
----------------------------------
conversion privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) Four Million Six
Hundred Ninety Thousand Six Hundred Thirty Two (4,690,632) shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under MPI's 1993 Stock Option Plan under which
options to purchase Two Million Four Hundred Twenty Four Thousand Five Hundred
(2,424,500) shares are outstanding; and (iii) warrants to purchase Seven Hundred
Thousand (700,000) shares of Common Stock; there is no outstanding, option,
warrant, right (including conversion or preemptive rights) or agreement for the
purchase or acquisition from MPI of any shares of its capital stock or any
securities convertible into or ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for any
shares of MPI's capital stock. Apart from the exceptions noted in this Section
8.10, and except for rights of first refusal held by MPI to purchase shares of
its stock issued under MPI's 1993 Stock Option Plan, no shares of MPI's
outstanding capital stock , or stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of any
outstanding options, warrants or rights, or other stock issuable by MPI, are
subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to
purchase such stock (whether in favor of MPI or any other person), pursuant to
any agreement or commitment of MPI.
9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of DBS. DBS
-------------------------------------------------
represents and warrants to MPI that the statements contained in this Section 9
are true, accurate, complete, and not misleading in any material respect, and
also shall be so as of the Conversion Date.
9.1 Authority Regarding this Agreement.
----------------------------------
9.1.1 DBS has the complete and unrestricted right, power,
authority and capacity to (a) execute and deliver each Transaction Document to
which it is a party; and (b) carry out and perform each of its obligations
pursuant to such Transaction Documents.
9.1.2 As of the Conversion Date, no further corporate or
shareholder authority, approvals, actions or proceedings will be necessary on
the part of DBS to authorize the Transaction Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby.
9.1.3 This Conversion Agreement has been, and, as of the
Conversion Date all of the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and
validly executed and delivered by DBS, and when so executed and delivered, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of DBS, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions
contained in the Registration Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.
14
<PAGE>
9.2 Purchase Entirely For Own Account. MPI is entering into the
---------------------------------
Transaction Documents in reliance on the representation made by DBS, which
representation is confirmed by DBS' execution of this Conversion Agreement, and
DBS hereby confirms, that the Series A Preferred Stock to be received by DBS,
and MPI's common stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment, and that DBS has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Conversion Agreement, DBS further represents that
DBS does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any
person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third
person, with respect to any of the Securities.
9.3 Disclosure of Information. DBS believes it has received all
-------------------------
the information from MPI for deciding whether to acquire the Securities.
9.4 Investment Experience. DBS acknowledges that it is able to
---------------------
fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities based solely
on the information made available to DBS by MPI.
9.5 Restricted Securities. DBS understands that the Securities
---------------------
are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws
of the United States, inasmuch as they are being acquired from MPI in a
transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and
applicable regulations the Securities may be resold without registration only in
certain limited circumstances. In this connection, DBS represents that it is
familiar with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144, as presently
in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and generally
by the federal securities laws of the United States. DBS further understands
that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("33 Act") or qualified or otherwise registered under the applicable
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, that any disposition of the
Securities by DBS is subject to restrictions imposed by federal and state laws,
that the stock certificates representing the Securities will bear a restrictive
legend stating that DBS cannot dispose of the Securities absent such
registration and qualification, except pursuant to any available exemption from
such registration and qualification.
9.6 Further Restrictions on Transfer. Without in any way
--------------------------------
limiting the representations set forth above in this Section 9, DBS further
agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities
unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of MPI to
be bound by the provisions of Sections 9.3 through 9.7 hereof, and the
provisions of the Registration Agreement, to the extent such sections and such
agreement are then applicable, and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under
the 33 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement; or
15
<PAGE>
(b) DBS shall have notified MPI of the proposed disposition
and shall have furnished MPI with a detailed statement of the circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by MPI, DBS
shall have furnished MPI with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
MPI, that such disposition will not require registration of the Securities in
question under the 33 Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for
any transfer of any Securities in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or Rule 144A; or
(ii) for any transfer of any Securities by a holder thereof that is a
partnership or a corporation to: (1) a partner of such partnership or a
shareholder of such corporation; (2) a retired partner of such partnership who
retires after the date hereof; or (3) the estate of any such partner or
shareholder; provided, that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees
--------
in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 9 to the same extent as if
the transferee were an original purchaser of Securities hereunder.
9.7 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the
------------------
Series A Preferred Stock or any other securities issued in respect of the Series
A Preferred Stock or upon the conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in the following form, in addition to any legend
required pursuant to applicable state securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (AS AMENDED), NOR QUALIFIED OR OTHERWISE REGISTERED
UNDER THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THESE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED ONLY FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF OR HYPOTHECATED (a) IN THE
ABSENCE OF BOTH (i) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 (AS AMENDED), AND (ii) AN EFFECTIVE QUALIFICATION OR REGISTRATION UNDER
THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, OR (b) UNLESS
AN EXEMPTION FROM ANY SUCH REGISTRATIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS IS AVAILABLE AND THE
ISSUER HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT
SUCH REGISTRATIONS OR QUALIFICATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
9.8 Foreign Persons. If DBS is not a United States person, DBS
---------------
hereby represents that (a) it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of
the laws of its own jurisdiction in connection with any acquisition of the
Securities, including without limitation (i) the legal requirements within such
jurisdiction applicable to the acquisition of the Securities; (ii) any foreign
exchange restrictions applicable to such acquisition; (iii) any governmental or
other consents that may need to be obtained; and (iv) the income tax and other
tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, sale
or transfer of the Securities; and (b) DBS' acquisition and continued ownership
of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of

Legal Team
Samsung, Corning Co., Ltd.

Suwon Si Kyunggi-do
Korea
RE: Conditional Agreement Reached on Conversion of Debt to Equity
Dear Mr.Chang:
As of today, Transpac, Texas Instruments, ORIX Leasing, DBS Bank, NS Electronics
and our secured creditor Motorola conditionally agreed to the debt-for-equity
conversion essentially as outlined in this proposal submitted by Microelectronic
Packaging, Inc. ("MPI") and its investment banker and financial advisors, L. H,
Friend, Weinress, Frankson & Presson, Inc. ("LH Friend"). The acceptance of the
attached proposal by these creditors is conditional upon agreement of the same
proposal by the remaining creditors. In addition, in fairness to all the
creditors and due to financial constraints, MPI could not complete this
conversion without the acceptance by all of the creditors.
We are hopeful that Samsung Corning ("Samsung") will accept the attached
proposal. If you agree, your acceptance of this proposal will, of course, be
subject to 1) the completion and execution of a definitive agreement to be
drafted by MPI's legal counsel, and 2) the approval by MPI's shareholders. MPI
will obtain a fairness opinion relating to conversion on these terms from LH
Friend, and MPI anticipates its shareholders will approve the conversion at a
special meeting of shareholders to be held as soon as possible.
In the attached proposal summary, MPI will convert the Asian debt into MPI
Preferred Stock which will be convertible into MPI Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis at $0.51 per share. Considering Samsung's Settled Debt amount of
US$186,940.00, Samsung would receive sufficient Preferred Stock to convert into
a minimum of 366,549 shares of MPI Common Stock.
Now that the creditors listed above have conditionally agreed to this proposal,
we need your concurrence by signing your acceptance at the bottom of this
letter. As indicated, we will immediately commence preparation of the legal
documents for you and your legal advisors' review. All creditors will receive
the identical conversion rate of $0.51 per share; this will be so noted in the
agreement between MPI and each creditor.

affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions

<PAGE>
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock has been duly and validly reserved

--------
representations of Samsung Corning set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement, the
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by the Transaction
Documents is exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of any
applicable state and federal securities laws, and neither MPI nor any authorized
agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the
loss of such exemption.
8.7 Disclosure. MPI has fully provided Samsung Corning with all
----------
information Samsung Corning has requested for deciding whether to enter into the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation, the acquisition of the Series A Preferred Stock.
8.8 Brokers. MPI has not taken any actions in connection with
-------
the negotiations relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby that could give rise to an obligation on the part of
Samsung Corning to pay any brokerage or finder's fee, commission or similar
compensation to any party in connection therewith.
8.9 Litigation: Except as set forth in this Section 8.9, there
----------
is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation ("Action")
pending (or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, currently threatened) against MPI,
its activities, properties or assets or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, against
any officer, director or employee of MPI in connection with such officer's,
director's or employee's relationship with, or actions taken on behalf of, MPI.
To the best of MPI's knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis for any such
Action that might result, individually or in the aggregate, in any material
adverse change in the business, properties, assets, financial condition, affairs
or prospects of MPI. MPI is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality, and there is no Action by MPI currently pending or which MPI
intends to initiate (other than claims for monetary damages asserted by MPI
against International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") under the Purchase
Option Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM and MPI and the Multilayer
Technology Transfer and Licensing Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM
and MPI). MPI is a defendant in a lawsuit filed on December 18,
10
<PAGE>
1998, against MPI and Schlumberger Technologies, Inc., in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York ("Lawsuit"). The plaintiffs
in the Lawsuit are Gary Stein and Lewis Solomon. Both Mr. Solomon and Mr. Stein
are former directors of MPI. The Lawsuit alleges the following claims against
MPI:
(a) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) allegedly owed to Lewis Solomon as
compensation for services performed by him as the former Chairman of MPI's Board
of Directors;
(b) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($71,250) allegedly owed in the
aggregate to Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon as compensation under a consulting
agreement;
(c) Wrongful termination of a consulting agreement, for
which wrongful termination Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon allege damages in the
aggregate of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000);
(d) Tortious interference with Mr. Stein's and Mr.
Solomon's prospective economic relationships and business advantages as
consultants and directors of public corporations, presumably arising out of
MPI's termination of their consulting agreement, for which Mr. Stein and Mr.
Solomon allege damages in the aggregate of not less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000);
(e) Costs and expenses incurred in the Lawsuit in an
unspecified amount.
MPI believes the claims made by Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon against
MPI in the lawsuit are completely without merit. MPI is actively and vigorously
defending the lawsuit, and has made substantial counterclaims against Mr. Stein
and Mr. Solomon.
8.10 Capitalization. The capitalization of MPI immediately prior
--------------
to the Conversion Date will consist of the following:
(a) Preferred Stock. A total of Nine Million Three Hundred
---------------

the Certificate of Amendment, and as provided by law.

Thousand (700,000) shares of Common Stock; there is no outstanding, option,
warrant, right (including conversion or preemptive rights) or agreement for the
purchase or acquisition from MPI of any shares of its capital stock or any
securities convertible into or ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for any
shares of MPI's capital stock. Apart from the exceptions noted in this Section
8.10, and except for rights of first refusal held by MPI to purchase shares of
its stock issued under MPI's 1993 Stock Option Plan, no shares of MPI's
outstanding capital stock , or stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of any
outstanding options, warrants or rights, or other stock issuable by MPI, are

Conversion Agreement, and Samsung Corning hereby confirms, that the Series A

issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively the "Securities") will be
acquired for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any
part thereof, and that Samsung Corning has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing

position and the risks associated with an investment in the Securities, and
acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risks of this investment.

it is not under any present necessity or constraint to dispose of the securities
to satisfy any existing or contemplated debt or undertaking. Samsung Corning
also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the
Securities.

---------------------
Securities are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal
securities laws of the United States, inasmuch as they are being acquired from
MPI in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws

affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions

9
<PAGE>

or decree to which MPI is a party or by which MPI or any of its assets is bound.
8.4 Valid Issuance of Preferred and Common Stock. The Series A
---------------------------------------------
Preferred Stock, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
Conversion Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than those
stated in this Conversion Agreement and/or that may arise under applicable state

and/or that may arise under applicable state and federal securities laws.

---------
or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any

--------
representations of NSEB set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement, the issuance
of the Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by the Transaction Documents is
exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of any applicable
state and federal securities laws, and neither MPI nor any authorized agent
acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of
such exemption.

-----------
information NSEB has requested for deciding whether to enter into the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including without
limitation, the acquisition of the Series A Preferred Stock.

-------
the negotiations relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions

8.9 Litigation: Except as set forth in this Section 8.9, there
----------
is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation ("Action")
pending (or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, currently threatened) against MPI,
its activities, properties or assets or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, against
any officer, director or employee of MPI in connection with such
10
<PAGE>
officer's, director's or employee's relationship with, or actions taken on
behalf of, MPI. To the best of MPI's knowledge, there is no factual or legal
basis for any such Action that might result, individually or in the aggregate,
in any material adverse change in the business, properties, assets, financial
condition, affairs or prospects of MPI. MPI is not a party to or subject to the
provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or
government agency or instrumentality, and there is no Action by MPI currently
pending or which MPI intends to initiate (other than claims for monetary damages
asserted by MPI against International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM")
under the Purchase Option Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM and MPI
and the Multilayer Technology Transfer and Licensing Agreement dated August 4,
1994, between IBM and MPI). MPI is a defendant in a lawsuit filed on December
18, 1998, against MPI and Schlumberger Technologies, Inc., in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York ("Lawsuit"). The plaintiffs
in the Lawsuit are Gary Stein and Lewis Solomon. Both Mr. Solomon and Mr. Stein
are former directors of MPI. The Lawsuit alleges the following claims against
MPI:
(a) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) allegedly owed to Lewis Solomon as
compensation for services performed by him as the former Chairman of MPI's Board
of Directors;
(b) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than
Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($71,250) allegedly owed in the
aggregate to Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon as compensation under a consulting
agreement;
(c) Wrongful termination of a consulting agreement, for
which wrongful termination Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon allege damages in the
aggregate of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000);
(d) Tortious interference with Mr. Stein's and Mr.
Solomon's prospective economic relationships and business advantages as
consultants and directors of public corporations, presumably arising out of
MPI's termination of their consulting agreement, for which Mr. Stein and Mr.
Solomon allege damages in the aggregate of not less than Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000);
(e) Costs and expenses incurred in the Lawsuit in an
unspecified amount.
MPI believes the claims made by Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon against
MPI in the lawsuit are completely without merit. MPI is actively and vigorously
defending the lawsuit, and has made substantial counterclaims against Mr. Stein
and Mr. Solomon.
8.10 Capitalization. The capitalization of MPI immediately prior
--------------
to the Conversion Date will consist of the following:
(a) Preferred Stock. A total Of Nine Million Three Hundred

Articles of Incorporation, as amended by the Certificate of Amendment, and as
provided by law.
(b) Common Stock. A total of Fifty Million (50,000,000)

the conversion privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) Four Million Six

options to purchase Two Million Four Hundred Twenty Four Thousand Five Hundred
(2,424,500) shares are outstanding; and (iii) warrants to purchase Seven Hundred
Thousand (700,000) shares of Common Stock; there is no outstanding, option,
warrant, right (including conversion or preemptive rights) or agreement for the
purchase or acquisition from MPI of any shares of its capital stock or any
securities convertible into or ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for any
shares of MPI's capital stock. Apart from the exceptions noted in this Section
8.10, and except for rights of first refusal held by MPI to purchase shares of
its stock issued under MPI's 1993 Stock Option Plan, no shares of MPI's
outstanding capital stock , or stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of any
outstanding options, warrants or rights, or other stock issuable by MPI, are
subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to
purchase such stock (whether in favor of MPI or any other person), pursuant to

that the statements contained in this Section 9 are true, accurate, complete,
and not misleading in any material respect, and also shall be so as of the
Conversion Date.
9.1 Authority Regarding this Agreement.
----------------------------------
9.1.1 NSEB has the complete and unrestricted right, power,
authority and capacity to (a) execute and deliver each Transaction Document to
which it is a party; and (b) carry out and perform each of its obligations
pursuant to such Transaction Documents.
9.1.2 As of the Conversion Date, no further corporate or
shareholder authority, approvals, actions or proceedings will be necessary on
the part of NSEB to authorize the Transaction Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby.
9.1.3 This Conversion Agreement has been, and, as of the
Conversion Date all of the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and
validly
12
<PAGE>
executed and delivered by NSEB, and when so executed and delivered, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of NSEB, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions
contained in the Registration Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.
9.2 Purchase Entirely For Own Account. MPI is entering into the
---------------------------------
Transaction Documents in reliance on the representation made by NSEB, which
representation is confirmed by NSEB's execution of this Conversion Agreement,
and NSEB hereby confirms, that the Series A Preferred Stock to be received by
NSEB, and MPI's common stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the resale
or distribution of any part thereof, and that NSEB has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By
executing this Conversion Agreement, NSEB further represents that NSEB does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person,
with respect to any of the Securities.
9.3 Disclosure of Information. NSEB believes it has received all
-------------------------
the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
acquire the Securities. NSEB further represents that it has had an opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers from MPI regarding the terms and conditions
of the Transaction Documents and the business, properties, prospects and
financial condition of MPI.
9.4 Investment Experience. NSEB acknowledges that it is able to
---------------------
fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. NSEB has
carefully evaluated its financial resources and investment position and the
risks associated with an investment in the Securities, and acknowledges that it
is able to bear the economic risks of this investment. NSEB further acknowledges
that its financial condition is such that it is not under any present necessity
or constraint to dispose of the securities to satisfy any existing or
contemplated debt or undertaking. NSEB also represents it has not been organized
for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
9.5 Restricted Securities. NSEB understands that the Securities
---------------------
are characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws
of the United States, inasmuch as they are being acquired from MPI in a
transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and
applicable regulations the Securities may be resold without registration only in
certain limited circumstances. In this connection, NSEB represents that it is
familiar with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144, as presently
in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and generally
by the federal securities laws of the United States. NSEB further understands
that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended ("33 Act") or qualified or otherwise registered under the applicable
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, that any disposition of the
Securities by NSEB is subject to restrictions imposed by federal and state laws,
that the stock certificates
13
<PAGE>
representing the Securities will bear a restrictive legend stating that NSEB
cannot dispose of the Securities absent such registration and qualification,
except pursuant to any available exemption from such registration and
qualification.
9.6 Further Restrictions on Transfer. Without in any way
--------------------------------
limiting the representations set forth above in this Section 9, NSEB further
agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities
unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of MPI to
be bound by the provisions of Sections 9.3 through 9.7 hereof, and the
provisions of the Registration Agreement, to the extent such sections and such
agreement are then applicable, and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under
the 33 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(b) NSEB shall have notified MPI of the proposed
disposition and shall have furnished MPI with a detailed statement of the
circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested
by MPI, NSEB shall have furnished MPI with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to MPI, that such disposition will not require registration of the
Securities in question under the 33 Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for
any transfer of any Securities in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or Rule 144A; or
(ii) for any transfer of any Securities by a holder thereof that is a
partnership or a corporation to: (1) a partner of such partnership or a
shareholder of such corporation; (2) a retired partner of such partnership who
retires after the date hereof; or (3) the estate of any such partner or
shareholder; provided, that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees
--------
in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 9 to the same extent as if
the transferee were an original purchaser of Securities hereunder.

8.2 Authority to Conduct Business. MPI possesses full corporate power
-----------------------------
and lawful authority to own, lease and operate its assets, and to carry on its
business as presently conducted. MPI is duly and legally qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each country, state, county, city or other
jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse
impact on MPI's business.
8.3 Authority Regarding this Agreement.
----------------------------------

and capacity to (a) execute and deliver this Conversion Agreement, the Ancillary

8.3.2 As of the Conversion Date, no further corporate or shareholder
authority, approvals, actions or proceedings will be necessary on the part of
MPI to authorize the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated thereby.
8.3.3 This Conversion Agreement has been, and, as of the Conversion
Date all of the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and validly
executed and delivered by MPI, and when so executed and delivered, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of MPI, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws
relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification provisions
contained in the Registration Agreement may be limited by applicable federal or
state securities laws.
8.3.4 The execution and delivery of this Conversion Agreement does
not, the execution and delivery of the other Transaction Documents will not, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not, violate any
provision of MPI's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws (as
amended), or any mortgage, lien,
9
<PAGE>
lease, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which MPI is a party
or by which MPI or any of its assets is bound.
8.4 Valid Issuance of Preferred and Common Stock. The Series A Preferred
--------------------------------------------
Stock, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Conversion
Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and
will be free of restrictions on transfer other than those stated in this
Conversion Agreement and/or that may arise under applicable state and federal
securities laws. The common stock of MPI issuable upon conversion of the Series
A Preferred Stock has been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Amendment, will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be free of
restrictions on transfer other than those stated in this Conversion Agreement
and/or that may arise under applicable state and federal securities laws.
8.5 Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
--------
registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state or local governmental authority or any third party on the part of
MPI is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Conversion Agreement, except (i) the filing of the
Certificate of Amendment with the California Secretary of State; (ii) the filing
required pursuant to Section 25102(f) of the California Corporate Securities Law
of 1968, as amended, and the rules thereunder, which filing will be effected
within fifteen (15) days after the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant hereto.
8.6 Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the
--------
representations of FIF set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement, the issuance of
the Series A Preferred stock as contemplated by the Transaction Documents is
exempt from the registration and qualification requirements of any applicable
state and federal securities laws, and neither MPI nor any authorized agent
acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of
such exemption.
8.7 Disclosure. MPI has fully provided FIF with all information FIF has
----------
requested for deciding whether to enter into the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, the acquisition of the
Series A Preferred Stock.
8.8 Brokers. MPI has not taken any actions in connection with the
-------
negotiations relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby that could give rise to an obligation on the part of FIF to
pay any brokerage or finder's fee, commission or similar compensation to any
party in connection therewith.
8.9 Litigation: Except as set forth in this Section 8.9, there is no
----------
action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation ("Action") pending
(or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, currently threatened) against MPI, its
activities, properties or assets or, to the best of MPI's knowledge, against any
officer, director or employee of MPI in connection with such officer's,
director's or employee's relationship with, or actions taken on behalf of, MPI.
To the best of MPI's knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis for any such
Action that might result, individually or in the aggregate, in any material
adverse change in the business, properties,
10
<PAGE>
assets, financial condition, affairs or prospects of MPI. MPI is not a party to
or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree
of any court or government agency or instrumentality, and there is no Action by
MPI currently pending or which MPI intends to initiate (other than claims for
monetary damages asserted by MPI against International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM") under the Purchase Option Agreement dated August 4, 1994,
between IBM and MPI and the Multilayer Technology Transfer and Licensing
Agreement dated August 4, 1994, between IBM and MPI). MPI is a defendant in a
lawsuit filed on December 18, 1998, against MPI and Schlumberger Technologies,
Inc., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
("Lawsuit"). The plaintiffs in the Lawsuit are Gary Stein and Lewis Solomon.
Both Mr. Solomon and Mr. Stein are former directors of MPI. The Lawsuit alleges
the following claims against MPI:
(a) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($30,000) allegedly owed to Lewis Solomon as compensation for
services performed by him as the former Chairman of MPI's Board of Directors;
(b) Failure to pay an amount alleged to be not less than Seventy One
Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($71,250) allegedly owed in the aggregate to
Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon as compensation under a consulting agreement;
(c) Wrongful termination of a consulting agreement, for which
wrongful termination Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon allege damages in the aggregate
of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000);
(d) Tortious interference with Mr. Stein's and Mr. Solomon's
prospective economic relationships and business advantages as consultants and
directors of public corporations, presumably arising out of MPI's termination of
their consulting agreement, for which Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon allege damages
in the aggregate of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000);
(e) Costs and expenses incurred in the Lawsuit in an unspecified
amount.
MPI believes the claims made by Mr. Stein and Mr. Solomon against MPI in
the lawsuit are completely without merit. MPI is actively and vigorously
defending the lawsuit, and has made substantial counterclaims against Mr. Stein
and Mr. Solomon.
8.10 Capitalization. The capitalization of MPI immediately prior to the
--------------
Conversion Date will consist of the following:
(a) Preferred Stock. A total of Nine Million Three Hundred Sixty
---------------
Two Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Eight (9,362,778) authorized shares of
preferred stock, no par value per share, consisting of Nine Million Three
Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Eight (9,362,778) shares
designated as Series A Preferred Stock, none of which will be issued and
outstanding. Upon the FIF Conversion and Other Creditor Conversions, the rights,
preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock will be as
11
<PAGE>
stated in MPI's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended by
the Certificate of Amendment, and as provided by law.
(b) Common Stock. A total of Fifty Million (50,000,000) authorized

options to purchase Two Million Four Hundred Twenty Four Thousand Five Hundred
(2,424,500) shares are outstanding; and (iii) warrants to purchase Seven Hundred
Thousand (700,000) shares of Common Stock; there is no outstanding, option,
warrant, right (including conversion or preemptive rights) or agreement for the
purchase or acquisition from MPI of any shares of its capital stock or any
securities convertible into or ultimately exchangeable or exercisable for any
shares of MPI's capital stock. Apart from the exceptions noted in this Section
8.10, and except for rights of first refusal held by MPI to purchase shares of
its stock issued under MPI's 1993 Stock Option Plan, no shares of MPI's
outstanding capital stock , or stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of any
outstanding options, warrants or rights, or other stock issuable by MPI, are
subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to
purchase such stock (whether in favor of MPI or any other person), pursuant to
any agreement or commitment of MPI.
9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of FIF. In addition to any
--------------------------------------------------
representations and warranties FIF may make to MPI elsewhere in this Conversion
Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or in any other document delivered to MPI in

contained in this Section 9 are true, accurate, complete, and not misleading in
any material respect, and also shall be so as of the Conversion Date.
9.1 Authority Regarding this Agreement.
----------------------------------
9.1.1 FIF has the complete and unrestricted right, power, authority
and capacity to (a) execute and deliver each Transaction Document to which it is
a party; and (b) carry out and perform each of its obligations pursuant to such
Transaction Documents.
9.1.2 As of the Conversion Date, no further corporate or shareholder
authority, approvals, actions or proceedings will be necessary on the part of
FIF to authorize the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated thereby.
9.1.3 This Conversion Agreement has been, and, as of the Conversion
Date all of the other Transaction Documents will have been, duly and validly
executed and delivered by FIF, and when so executed and delivered, will
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of FIF, enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general
12
<PAGE>
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the indemnification
provisions contained in the Registration Agreement may be limited by applicable
federal or state securities laws.
9.2 Purchase Entirely For Own Account. MPI is entering into the
---------------------------------
Transaction Documents in reliance on the representation made by FIF, which
representation is confirmed by FIF's execution of this Conversion Agreement, and
FIF hereby confirms, that the Series A Preferred Stock to be received by FIF,
and MPI's common stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively the
"Securities") will be acquired for investment and not with a view to the resale
or distribution of any part thereof, and that FIF has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By
executing this Conversion Agreement, FIF further represents that FIF does not
have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person,
with respect to any of the Securities.
9.3 Disclosure of Information. FIF believes it has received all the
-------------------------
information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to
acquire the Securities. FIF further represents that it has had an opportunity
to ask questions and receive answers from MPI regarding the terms and conditions
of the Transaction Documents and the business, properties, prospects and
financial condition of MPI.
9.4 Investment Experience. FIF acknowledges that it is able to fend for
---------------------
itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of the investment in the Securities. FIF has carefully
evaluated its financial resources and investment position and the risks
associated with an investment in the Securities, and acknowledges that it is
able to bear the economic risks of this investment. FIF further acknowledges
that its financial condition is such that it is not under any present necessity
or constraint to dispose of the securities to satisfy any existing or
contemplated debt or undertaking. FIF also represents it has not been organized
for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.
9.5 Restricted Securities. FIF understands that the Securities are
---------------------
characterized as "restricted securities" under the federal securities laws of
the United States, inasmuch as they are being acquired from MPI in a transaction
not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable
regulations the Securities may be resold without registration only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection, FIF represents that it is familiar
with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 144, as presently in
effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and generally by
the federal securities laws of the United States. FIF further understands that
the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("33 Act") or qualified or otherwise registered under the applicable
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, that any disposition of the
Securities by FIF is subject to restrictions imposed by federal and state laws,
that the stock certificates representing the Securities will bear a restrictive
legend stating that FIF cannot dispose of the Securities absent such
registration and qualification, except pursuant to any available exemption from
such registration and qualification.
13
<PAGE>
9.6 Further Restrictions on Transfer. Without in any way limiting the

representations set forth above in this Section 9, FIF further agrees not to
make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until
the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of MPI to be bound by the
provisions of Sections 9.3 through 9.7 hereof, and the provisions of the
Registration Agreement, to the extent such sections and such agreement are then
applicable, and:
(a) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the 33 Act
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such Registration Statement; or
(b) FIF shall have notified MPI of the proposed disposition and shall
have furnished MPI with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding
the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by MPI, FIF shall have
furnished MPI with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to MPI, that
such disposition will not require registration of the Securities in question
under the 33 Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no
such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any
transfer of any Securities in compliance with SEC Rule 144 or Rule 144A; or (ii)
for any transfer of any Securities by a holder thereof that is a partnership or
a corporation to: (1) a partner of such partnership or a shareholder of such
corporation; (2) a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the
date hereof; or (3) the estate of any such partner or shareholder; provided,
--------
that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be
subject to the terms of this Section 9 to the same extent as if the transferee
were an original purchaser of Securities hereunder.
9.7 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the Series A
------------------
Preferred Stock or any other securities issued in respect of the Series A
Preferred Stock or upon the conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in the following form, in addition to any legend

(1,056,027) shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or such other amounts as may be
agreed upon between such parties.

2. None of the funds to be paid by FIF or any member of the Investor
Group to ST in exchange for the assignment and transfer of the ST Agreements
will have been obtained from MPI.
3. Assuming the terms and conditions of this letter and the Escrow
Instructions (as hereafter defined) are satisfied, all of the rights, title,
claims and interests of ST in, under and pursuant to the ST Agreements will be
transferred to FIF, and none of such rights, title, claims and interests will be
transferred to MPI. ST agrees that, pursuant to agreements that will be entered
into between FIF and members of the Investor Group, certain portions of the
interests obtained by FIF in the ST Agreements will be assigned by FIF to
members of the Investor Group. However, the respective rights and obligations of
FIF and ST pursuant to this letter and the Escrow Instructions (as hereafter
defined) shall not be affected in any manner by any assignment or lack of
assignment by FIF to members of the Investor Group or any other party, of any
portion of FIF's interests in the ST Agreements. Regardless of any other
provision of this letter, the Escrow Instructions (as hereafter defined) or the
Assignment Agreement (as hereafter defined), FIF represents, warrants and agrees
that:
3.1 FIF is a sophisticated and experienced investor who has the
capability to evaluate the risks of the transactions described in and
contemplated by this letter, and has the ability to protect FIF's own interests
in connection therewith.
3.2 FIF has performed whatever due diligence review FIF deems
necessary and/or appropriate in connection with the transactions described in
and contemplated by this letter, and is satisfied with the results of such due
diligence review.

is not making, any representations or warranties of any kind regarding the
propriety of FIF's contemplated acquisition of the ST Agreements, the value or
enforceability of any rights ST may
3
<PAGE>
have under the ST Agreements, the value or enforceability of any rights FIF may
have as an assignee of the ST Agreements, the value or enforceability of any
rights FIF may have to acquire shares of capital stock of MPI by virtue of FIF's
acquisition of the ST Agreements, or the current or potential value of any of
such shares of capital stock.
4. Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter and the Escrow
Instructions (as hereafter defined), not later than August 31, 1999, FIF will
pay to ST in cash in one lump sum, the amount of Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars (US$500,000.00) ("Investor Payment"), in exchange for ST's
complete assignment and transfer to FIF of all of ST's rights, title, claims and
interests in, under and pursuant to the ST Agreements ("ST Assignment"). The ST
Assignment will be evidenced by an assignment agreement in the form of Exhibit
"A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Assignment
Agreement"). ST agrees that, pursuant to agreements that will be entered into
between FIF and members of the Investor Group, certain portions of the interests
obtained by FIF under the Assignment Agreement will be assigned by FIF to
members of the Investor Group. However, the respective rights and obligations of
FIF and ST pursuant to this letter and the Escrow Instructions (as hereafter
defined) shall not be affected in any manner by any assignment or lack of
assignment by FIF to members of the Investor Group or any other party, of any
portion of FIF's interests under the Assignment Agreement.
5. FIF shall not have any obligations to pay the Investor Payment to
ST until such time as all of the following conditions have been completely
satisfied:
5.1 MPI has obtained the approval of its Board of Directors and
Shareholders with respect to the Other Creditor Conversions and the conversion
of the ST Agreements by FIF (and its assignees) into an aggregate of One Million
Three Hundred Twenty Two Thousand Six Hundred Forty Seven (1,322,647) shares of
MPI's Series A Preferred Stock, or such other amounts as may be agreed upon
between such parties.
5.2 ST shall have duly executed the Assignment Agreement and
delivered such originally executed copy to the Escrow Agent (as hereafter
defined).
5.3 ST shall have delivered to the Escrow Agent (as hereafter
defined) (a) the originally executed copies of the Warrant, the Judgments and
the Settlement Agreement; and (b) all of the originally executed copies, or in
the alternative the cleanest copies in ST's possession, of the remainder of the
ST Agreements (collectively "ST Agreement Copies").
6. Not later than April 19, 1999, FIF shall have deposited the
entire amount of the Investor Payment in trust with Mission Valley Escrow
Company in San Diego, California ("Escrow Agent"), pursuant to written escrow
instructions ("Escrow Instructions") that have been approved and executed by
both FIF and ST ("Escrow Account"), and the entire amount of the Investor
Payment shall continually remain on deposit in the Escrow Account at all times
during the term of this letter. MPI shall pay all fees and expenses charged by
the Escrow Agent. All interest or other amounts earned or accrued with respect
to the Escrow Account prior to the payment of the Investor Payment to ST, shall
remain the property of FIF and its assignees. The
4
<PAGE>
Escrow Instructions shall include the following provisions, in addition to any
other provisions that may be jointly approved by FIF and ST:
6.1 At such time during the term of the Escrow Account as the
conditions stated in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 above have been satisfied, the
Escrow Agent shall (a) deliver the Investor Payment to ST; and (b) concurrently
deliver the original executed copy of the Assignment Agreement and the ST
Agreement Copies to FIF.
6.2 In the event the Investor Payment has not been paid to ST at
or before 5:00 p.m. California time on August 31, 1999 ("Escrow Termination
Date"), then the Escrow Account shall be deemed to have been automatically
terminated as of that specific time, without the need for any further
instructions from or actions taken by either ST or FIF, and the Escrow Agent
shall thereupon immediately return all funds in the Escrow Account to FIF, and
immediately return the originally executed copy of the Assignment Agreement and
the ST Agreement Copies to ST.
6.3 The Escrow Termination Date shall not be extended beyond
August 31, 1999, except pursuant to the written agreement of ST and FIF.
7. Once the Investor Payment has been deposited in the Escrow
Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, this letter shall remain
in full force and effect until 5:00 p.m. California time on August 31, 1999, or
until such earlier time as the Investor Payment has been paid to ST. In the
event the Investor Payment is not deposited in the Escrow Account pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6 hereof, then this letter shall be deemed void and of
no force or effect.
8. Once the Investor Payment has been deposited in the Escrow
Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, if thereafter the
Investor Payment has not been paid to ST at or before 5:00 p.m. California time
on August 31, 1999, then as of that specific time, this letter shall immediately
terminate ("Automatic Termination").
9. Once the Investor Payment has been deposited in the Escrow
Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, until such time as there
has been an Automatic Termination, ST hereby specifically agrees that ST will
not seek to enforce any of the ST Agreements, or any of ST's rights pursuant
thereto, including without limitation, any rights ST may have pursuant to the
Judgments. However, MPI agrees that no provision of this letter or the Escrow
Instructions, and no actions taken or omitted to be taken by ST in connection
therewith, nor any other fact or circumstance existing in connection with any of
the foregoing, shall constitute or be construed to constitute any (a) waiver by
ST of any rights ST may have under the ST Agreements prior to the time ST has
received the Investor Payment; or (b) basis for the allegation of any defense by
MPI against the enforcement of the ST Agreements in accordance with their terms,
including without limitation, any defense based on theories of estoppel or
laches.
10. MPI agrees that concurrently with the Escrow Agent's delivery of
the Investor Payment to ST as described herein, MPI will duly execute and
deliver to ST a release
5
<PAGE>
agreement in a form that is substantially the same as the releases granted by
MPI to ST pursuant to the provisions of the Settlement Agreement.
11. The parties intend that the provisions of this letter be binding
upon each of them in accordance with their respective rights and obligations as
set forth herein.
12. The parties agree that the provisions of this letter will not be
binding upon any of the parties until such time as all of ST, FIF and MPI have
executed a copy of this letter.
By executing this letter where indicated below, ST, FIF and MPI are
indicating their agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
letter.

EXHIBIT "A"
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING, INC.
a California corporation
Andrew Wrobel and Denis Trafecanty certify that:
1. They are the President and the Secretary, respectively, of
MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING, INC., a California corporation.
2. Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of this
corporation is amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE III
-----------
This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be
designated respectively "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The number of
shares of Common Stock this corporation is authorized to issue is Fifty Million
(50,000,000), without par value. The number of shares of Preferred Stock this
corporation is authorized to issue is 9,362,777, without par value, all of which
are designated as "Series A Preferred Stock."
1. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Common Stock.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on
this corporation's Common Stock are as follows:
A. Dividend Rights. Subject to any rights, preferences and
---------------
privileges that have been granted to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders
of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors, out of any assets of the corporation legally available
therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of
Directors.
B. Liquidation Rights. Subject to any rights, preferences and
------------------
privileges that have been granted to the Series A Preferred Stock, in the event
of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, the holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive all of the assets of the corporation available for distribution to its
shareholders, ratable in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock
held by them.
C. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.
----------
<PAGE>
D. Voting Rights. Subject to any rights, preferences and
-------------
privileges that have been granted to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders
of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters at all
meetings of the shareholders of the corporation and shall be entitled to one
vote for each share of Common Stock entitled to vote at such meeting.
2. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A
------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Stock. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to
- ---------------
and imposed on this corporation's Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:
A. Dividends.
---------
1. Fixed Amount. Out of any assets legally available
------------
therefor, the Board shall have discretion (but shall not be required) to declare
a dividend on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the fixed rate of
Three Point Five Seven Cents ($0.0357) per share per annum (subject to
adjustment to equitably account for any stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, recapitalizations or the like, and not compounded from one year to
the next) ("Fixed Amount Dividends"). Fixed Amount Dividends shall be payable
only when, as, and if declared by the Board. Fixed Amount Dividends payable to
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto, whether or not declared
by the Board, shall at all times be cumulative until paid in full, and shall be
paid in preference and priority to any Common Equivalent Dividends (as that term
is defined in Section A(2) below), and any dividend or other distribution being
paid or distributed to the holders of Common Stock.
2. Common Equivalent. Subject to the priority of the Fixed
-----------------
Amount Dividends, in the event the Board declares a dividend on or other
distribution with respect to the corporation's outstanding common stock ("Common
Stock"), which is payable other than in Common Stock and/or other securities or
rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, then out of any assets legally
available therefor, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall concurrently
receive dividends or other distributions in an amount equal to (a) the amount of
the dividend or other distribution payable on one share of Common Stock;
multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock, rounded to the nearest
whole number (with one half being rounded upward), into which the total number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted on
the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock are entitled to
receive the dividend or other distribution in question ("Common Equivalent
Dividends"). Common Equivalent Dividends payable to the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock pursuant hereto shall at all times be cumulative until paid in
full, and shall be paid in preference and priority to any dividend or other
distribution being paid or distributed to the holders of Common Stock.
3. Treatment Upon Conversion. Upon any conversion of the
-------------------------
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section D hereof entitled
Conversion ("Triggering Conversion"), any Fixed Amount Dividends and/or Common
- ----------
Equivalent Dividends payable with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock being converted (collectively "Conversion Dividends"), shall concurrently
be converted into that number of shares of this corporation's fully paid and
nonassessable Common Stock determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
Conversion Dividends by the Conversion Price applicable to the Triggering
Conversion ("Dividend Conversion Shares"). Otherwise, the provisions of Section
D hereof entitled Conversion shall be applicable to the Dividend Conversion
----------
Shares in the same manner as
2
<PAGE>
such provisions are applicable to any other shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to the Triggering Conversion.
3
<PAGE>
4. Waiver. Pursuant to the affirmative vote, written
------
consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock ("Approving Preferred Majority"), the Approving Preferred
Majority shall be entitled on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
to waive any dividend such holders would otherwise be entitled to receive,
including without limitation, any Fixed Amount Dividends and/or Common
Equivalent Dividends (collectively the "Preferred Dividends").
B. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation,
----------------------
dissolution or winding up of this corporation, either voluntary or involuntary:
1. Priority Distribution. The holders of Series A
---------------------
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any
distribution of any of the assets or funds of this corporation to the holders of
Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to
the sum of (a) One Dollar and Two Cents ($1.02) for each outstanding share of
Series A Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment to equitably account for any
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like)
("Original Series A Issue Price"), plus (b) an amount equal to any declared but
unpaid dividends on such share, including without limitation, any accumulated
balance of Preferred Dividends ("Priority Distribution"). If the assets and
funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the full amount of the
Priority Distribution, then the entire assets and funds of this corporation
legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such
stock owned by each such holder.
2. Acquisition or Sale. For purposes of this Section B
-------------------
entitled Liquidation Preference, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
----------------------
this corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (unless an
Approving Preferred Majority shall determine otherwise), (a) the acquisition of
this corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of
related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger
or consolidation) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of
the outstanding voting power of this corporation; or (b) a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of this corporation (collectively "Acquisition
or Sale"). In the event of any Acquisition or Sale, if the consideration
received by this corporation or its shareholders is other than cash, the value
of the non-cash consideration will be deemed to be equal to its fair market
value, except that the value of any securities received in any Acquisition or
Sale shall be determined as follows:
(a) For securities not subject to an investment
letter or other similar restriction on free marketability covered by Section
B(2)(b) below:
(i) If traded on a securities exchange or
through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average
of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the
thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing of the
Acquisition or Sale;
(ii) If actively traded over-the-counter,
the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices
(whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days
prior to the closing of the Acquisition or Sale; or
(iii) If there is no active public market,
the value
4
<PAGE>
shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board and
an Approving Preferred Majority.
(b) The method of valuation of securities subject
to an investment letter or other restriction on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder's status as an affiliate
or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined above in Section B(2)(a), to reflect the approximate fair
market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board and an Approving
Preferred Majority.
(c) In the event the requirements of this Section
B(2)(c) are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either: (i)
cause the closing of the Acquisition or Sale to be postponed until the time such
requirements have been complied with; or (ii) cancel the Acquisition or Sale, in
which event the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the holders
of Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions existing immediately prior to the date
the first Transaction Notice (as hereafter defined) is given. This corporation
shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of
any impending Acquisition or Sale not later than (i) twenty (20) days prior to
the shareholders' meeting called to approve such Acquisition or Sale, or (ii)
twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such Acquisition or Sale, whichever is
earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of
such Acquisition or Sale (any of the foregoing a "Transaction Notice"). The
first Transaction Notice to be given shall describe the material terms and
conditions of the impending Acquisition or Sale, and this corporation shall
thereafter give holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock prompt notice
of any material changes in such material terms and conditions ("Material Change
Notice"). The Acquisition or Sale shall in no event take place sooner than
twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first Transaction Notice,
or sooner than ten (10) days after this corporation has given any Material
Change Notice; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened by an
Approving Preferred Majority.
C. Redemption. To the extent it may otherwise lawfully do so,
----------
this corporation shall be entitled, in the sole discretion of the Board, to
redeem all or any part of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in
accordance and compliance with the following provisions:
1. Notice. Not less than twenty (20) and not more than
------
thirty (30) days prior to the date as of which the Board intends to give effect
to a redemption of some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
("Redemption Date"), a written notice shall be mailed, first class postage
prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day
next preceding the day on which notice is mailed) of the Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of this
corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be
effected on the applicable Redemption Date, specifying each of the following:
(a) the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder ("Redemption Shares");
(b) the Redemption Date; (c) the Series A Redemption Price (as that term is
hereafter defined); (d) the then applicable Conversion Price (as that term is
hereafter defined); (e) the date of termination of the right to convert the
Redemption Shares into shares of Common Stock, which date shall not be earlier
than five (5) days prior to the Redemption Date ("Conversion Termination Date");
and (e) the place at which payment may be obtained; and shall call upon such
holder to surrender to this corporation, in the manner and at the place
designated, his, her or
5
<PAGE>
its certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed
("Redemption Notice").
2. Partial Redemptions to be Pro-Rata. In the event a
----------------------------------
Redemption Notice specifies that less than all of the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, then the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be allocated pro-rata among all of the
holders thereof, based on the proportionate number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by each such holder.
3. Conversion Prior to Redemption. Upon receiving a
------------------------------
Redemption Notice, at any time prior the to Conversion Termination Date stated
therein, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert
some or all of the Redemption Shares into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
provisions of Section D(1) below. Any such conversion shall be deemed to take
place on the Redemption Date. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not
converted to shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto shall remain subject to
redemption pursuant to the provisions of this Section C entitled Redemption, and
----------
as set forth in the Redemption Notice. If this corporation fails to carry out
the redemption of any Redemption Shares that are not converted to shares of
Common Stock pursuant to this Section C(3), then in such event, the redemption
described in the Redemption Notice shall be deemed null and void, and any
conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock
pursuant hereto, shall also be deemed null and void.
4. Redemption Price. The price per share required to be
----------------
paid by the corporation upon the redemption of any share of Series A Preferred
Stock pursuant hereto shall be equal to the sum of (a) the Original Series A
Issue Price (subject to adjustment to equitably account for any stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like), plus (b) an
amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, including
without limitation, any accumulated balance of Preferred Dividends ("Series A
Redemption Price").
5. Certificates. On or after the Redemption Date, each
------------
holder of Redemption Shares that have not been converted into shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section C(3) hereof, shall surrender to this corporation the
certificate or certificates representing such Redemption Shares ("Redemption
Certificates"), in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption
Notice, and thereupon the applicable Series A Redemption Price shall be payable
to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or
certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be
canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such
certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the
unredeemed shares. If on the Redemption Date the funds necessary for the
redemption of the Redemption Shares shall be available therefor, then any
Redemption Shares so called for redemption for which Redemption Certificates are
not surrendered, shall nevertheless be considered redeemed, and all rights of
the holders thereof shall be terminated, except for only the right to receive
the Redemption Price without interest upon the surrender of the Redemption
Certificates.
6. Payment. Concurrently with receiving the Redemption
-------
Certificates, this corporation shall pay the Series A Redemption Price to the
person whose name appears on the Redemption Certificates, in cash in one lump
sum.
7. No Previous Redemption of Common Stock. At all times
--------------------------------------
while
6
<PAGE>
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this corporation shall
not redeem any shares of Common Stock, unless such redemption has been
authorized by an Approving Preferred Majority.
8. Good Faith Modification. Regardless of any of the
-----------------------
provisions of this Section C entitled Redemption, the holders of the outstanding
----------
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall consider in good faith any request of
the Board to modify the rights, preferences and privileges of such holders
pursuant to this Section C entitled Redemption, if the Board deems such
----------
modification reasonably necessary to permit this corporation to obtain financing
or credit from a financial institution.
D. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
----------
have conversion rights as follows ("Conversion Rights"):
1. Voluntary Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred
--------------------
Stock shall be convertible, (i) at the sole option of the holder thereof, at any
time after the date of issuance of such share, or (ii) at the sole option of the
holder thereof, on or prior to the fifth (5th) day prior to the Redemption Date,
if any, as may have been fixed in any Redemption Notice with respect to such
share of the Series A Preferred Stock, at the office of this corporation or any
transfer agent for such stock and in the manner provided in Section 2(D)(3)
hereof ("Voluntary Conversion"), into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original
Series A Issue Price by the Conversion Price applicable to such share,
determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is
surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be Fifty One Cents ($0.51); provided, however,
that the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section D(4) below.
2. Automatic Conversion. In addition to the right of
--------------------
Voluntary Conversion provided in Section 2(D)(1) hereof, each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at
the Conversion Price in effect at that time for the Series A Preferred Stock,
immediately upon this corporation's receipt of the written consent of the
Approving Preferred Majority to the conversion of all then outstanding Series A
Preferred Stock under this Section D.
3. Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series A
-----------------------
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common
Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the
Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at
its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall
state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, within two (2)
days after receipt of such written notice, issue and deliver at such office to
such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such
holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date
of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
7
<PAGE>
Regardless of any of the foregoing provisions, this
corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted are either delivered to the
corporation or any transfer agent as provided herein, or the holder notifies the
corporation or any transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen,
or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
corporation to indemnify the corporation from any loss reasonably incurred by it
in connection therewith.
4. Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for
---------------------------------------------------
Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the
- ---------------------------------------------------
Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(a) If this corporation shall issue, after the date
upon which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued ("Purchase
Date"), any Additional Stock (as hereafter defined) without consideration or for
a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for the Series A
Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise
provided in this Section D(4)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying
such Conversion Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of the Additional Stock in question (including shares of Common Stock deemed to
be issued pursuant to Section D(4)(f)(i) or (ii) hereof, but not including
shares excluded from the definition of Additional Stock by Section D(4)(g)(ii)
hereof), plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at
such Conversion Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including
shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section D(4)(f)(i) or
(ii) hereof, but not including shares excluded from the definition of Additional
Stock by Section D(4)(g)(ii) hereof), plus the number of shares of Additional
Stock in question.
(b) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one cent per
share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason
of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at
the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the
adjustment being carried forward.
(c) Except to the extent provided for in Section
D(4)(f)(iii) and (iv) hereof, and Section D(4)(i) hereof, no adjustment of the
Conversion Price pursuant to this Section D(4) shall have the effect of
increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.
(d) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor
before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise
in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(e) In the case of the issuance of the Common Stock
for a
8
<PAGE>
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration shall be
deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the
Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(f) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or
after the applicable Purchase Date) of options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms ultimately convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following
provisions shall apply for all purposes of Sections D(4)(a) through (g) hereof:
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any
conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time,
but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments), to the
extent then exercisable, of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or
rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in Section D(4)(d) and (e) hereof), if any,
received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus
the minimum exercise price provided for in such options or rights (without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange for (assuming the
satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including,
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments), to the extent then convertible or
exchangeable, any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the
exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall
be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to (1) the
consideration, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and
related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued
interest or accrued dividends); plus (2) the minimum additional consideration,
if any, to be received by this corporation (without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such
securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration
in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections D(4)(d) and (e)
hereof).
(iii) In the event of any change in the number
of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this
corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in
exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not
limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, then
the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way
affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for
the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon
the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such
securities. However, in no event shall (1) the amount of any increase in the
Conversion Price that may result from any recomputation pursuant to this Section
2.D.4(f)(iii) of this Article III, as a proportion of the Conversion Price in
effect at the time such recomputation takes place ("Proportionate Increase"); be
greater than (2) the amount of any decrease in the Conversion Price that
occurred as a result of the issuance of the options, rights, or
9
<PAGE>
convertible or exchangeable securities in question, as a proportion of the
Conversion Price in effect at the time such decrease took place ("Proportionate
Decrease").
(iv) Upon the expiration of any such options
or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable
securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent
in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or
options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the
issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise
of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities. However,
in no event shall (1) the amount of any increase in the Conversion Price that
may result from any recomputation pursuant to this Section 2.D.4(f)(iv) of this
Article III, as a proportion of the Conversion Price in effect at the time such
recomputation takes place ("Proportionate Increase"); be greater than (2) the
amount of any decrease in the Conversion Price that occurred as a result of the
issuance of the options, rights, or convertible or exchangeable securities in
question, as a proportion of the Conversion Price in effect at the time such
decrease took place ("Proportionate Decrease").
(v) The number of shares of Common Stock
deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Sections
D(4)(f)(i) and (ii) hereof, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any
change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Section
D(4)(f)(iii) and (iv) hereof.
(g) For purposes of this Section D(4), the term
"Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to
have been issued pursuant to Section D(4)(f)) by this corporation after the
Purchase Date, except for any of the following:
(i) Common Stock issued pursuant to a
transaction described in Section D(4)(h) below; or
(ii) Common Stock issuable or issued to (1)
employees, consultants or directors of this corporation directly or pursuant to
a stock option plan or restricted stock plan, and such issuance has been
approved by the Board, or (2) vendors or joint venture partners of this
corporation, but only if such issuance is in a transaction with primarily a non-
financing purpose, and has been approved by the Board.
(h) In the event this corporation should at any time
or from time to time after the Purchase Date fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (collectively
referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration
by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately
decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of
each share of such series shall be increased in
10
<PAGE>
proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents
(with the number of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents
determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in
Section D(4)(f) hereof).
(i) If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such
combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on
conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.
5. Other Distributions. In the event this corporation
-------------------
shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences
of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding
cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Section D(4)(h) hereof,
then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section D(5), the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders
of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
6. Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to
-----------------
time there shall be a recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock
(other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction
provided for elsewhere in this Section D entitled Conversion, or in Section B
----------
hereof entitled Liquidation Preference, provision shall be made so that the
----------------------
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder
of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such
recapitalization or reclassification. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section D entitled
Conversion, with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred
- ----------
Stock after the recapitalization or reclassification, to the end that the
provisions of this Section D entitled Conversion (including adjustment of the
----------
Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
7. No Impairment. This corporation will not, by
-------------
amendment or restatement of its Articles of Incorporation or through any
reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issuance 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 this corporation, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section D
entitled Conversion, 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.
8. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall
--------------------
be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to
the nearest whole share (with one half being
11
<PAGE>
rounded upward). Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
conversion.
9. Certificate of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of
-------------------------
each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series A Preferred
Stock pursuant to this Section D entitled Conversion, this 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 setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
This 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 (a) such adjustment and readjustment, (b) the
Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and
(c) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of
Series A Preferred Stock.
10. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking
----------------------
by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for
the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, this
corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at least
twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the
date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right.
11. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
---------------------------------------------
This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such
number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock;
and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be
available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, this corporation will
take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any
necessary amendment to the corporation's articles of incorporation.
12. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of
-------
this Section D entitled Conversion, to be given to the holders of shares of
----------
Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States
