NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
International Diversified Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries, formerly
known as The Great American BackRub Store, Inc.(the "Company") is an
owner\operator and franchiser of retail stores which provide seated, fully
clothed back rubs and sell back and stress relief related products. The Company,
incorporated in 1992, began operations in 1993. As of June 30, 1998, the Company
has four retail stores in operation and two franchise store locations. As
discussed in Note 2 the Company acquired one hundred percent of the outstanding
common stock of CARIBSUN, CORP. ("CARIBSUN") from Ascot International Corp.
("Ascot"), a previously unrelated company. CARIBSUN, formed in 1995 under the
laws of the State of Delaware, holds title to approximately 86 acres of real
property in the Parish of Saint Peter, Antigua through a wholly-owned
subsidiary. On October 1, 1997 the real property was appraised by an independent
appraiser and their report dated October 14, 1997 opines that the fair market
value of the real property was $10,000,000. The Company intends to develop the
real property.
Change in Management
As a result of the reverse acquisition discussed in Note 2, the Company
underwent a change in management effective October 16, 1997. Management of the
Company consists of the officers and directors of Ascot.
Condensed Financial Statements
The condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 and the condensed
statements of operations and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations,
changes in cash flows at June 30, 1998 and for all periods presented have been
made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of
the Company as of December 31, 1997.
The results of operations for the six month period ending June 30, 1998
and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent all amounts held in banks and money
market accounts and short term investments such as United States Treasury bills
with original maturities of less than three months.
Per Share Data
Net loss per common share for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 is computed by dividing composed by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the year as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, No.
128, "Earnings per Share". The assumed exercised of common share equivalents was
not utilized since the effect was anti-dilutive.
Note 2 - Reverse Acquisition
On September 30, 1997, as amended on October 16, 1997, the Company
entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire 100%
of the issued and outstanding common stock of CARIBSUN from Ascot in exchange
for 17,097,416 shares of common stock of the Company. CARIBSUN owns
approximately 86 acres of land located in Parish of Saint Peter, Antigua.

INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Reverse Acquisition, continued:
On October 16, 1997 the acquisition was consummated and the Company
initially issued 11,000,000 shares of its common stock to Ascot in exchange for
100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of CARIBSUN. Due to a deficiency
on the Company's authorized shares of common stock on October 16, 1997,
6,097,416 shares of common stock of the Company remain to be issued to Ascot.
Upon shareholder approval and completion of an amendment to the Company's
certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized shares, the remaining
6,097,416 common shares will be issued. These unissued shares are presented in
the balance sheet as Common Stock to be issued and Additional paid-in capital on
common stock to be issued. See note 7 Subsequent Events, for information
concerning the adjustment of the number of shares issuable to Ascot as a result
of the change of domicile merger which took place on August 3, 1998.
The CARIBSUN acquisition and issuance of the Company's Common Stock to
Ascot resulted in Ascot obtaining approximately an 80% voting interest in the
Company. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that the company whose
shareholders retain the majority interest in the voting stock of the combined
business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, the
acquisition is accounted for as a reverse acquisition for financial reporting
purposes and CARIBSUN is deemed to have acquired the Company. Accordingly, the
Company's financial statements at the acquisition date and at June 30, 1998 are
presented as follows: (1) the balance sheet consists of CARIBSUN's net assets as
historical cost, and the Company's net assets at fair market value in the date
of acquisition (acquired cost); and (2) the statement of operations includes
CARIBSUN's operations for the period presented and Company's operations from the
date of acquisition, October 16, 1997.
The purchase price consists of the 17,097,416 common shares issued to
Ascot multiplied by the average fair market value of the Company's common stock
as measured just before and after the agreement and announcement of the
acquisition, as adjusted for management's estimate of the fair market value
dilution effect of issuing those shares, plus acquisition costs. The entire
difference between the purchase prices and net assets of the Company acquired
was allocated to goodwill.
The following unaudited pro-forma information presents a summary of
consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the reverse acquisition
had occurred on January 1, 1996. These pro-forma results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations which actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on
the date indicated, or which may result in the future. The pro-forma results

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 7 - Subsequent Events
A Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 22, 1998, the
shareholders of The Great American BackRub Store, Inc. (the "Company") approved
a proposal to reincorporate under the laws of the State of Delaware through the
merger of the Company with a Delaware subsidiary specifically formed for this
purpose (the "Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger, the name of the Company was changed to
"International Diversified Industries, Inc." ("IDII") and on August 3, 1998 (the
"Record Date"), each share of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the "Old Common Stock") was automatically converted into
one-fourth of a share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "New
Common Stock"). As a result, holders of Old Common Stock became entitled to
receive one share of New Common Stock for each four shares of Old Common Stock
held by them on the Record Date. As a further result of the Merger the number of
Shares remaining to be issued to Ascot will be reduced to 1,524,354 Shares of
New Common Stock.
No fractional shares of New Common Stock are being issued by the Company
in connection with the Merger. Instead, holders of Old Common Stock who would
otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of New Common Stock will
receive from the Company a cash payment from their fractional interest on the
basis of a price (after giving effect to the Merger) of $0.28 per New Share.
As a result of the Merger, the Number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock will be reduced to a number that will be approximately equal to the number
of shares of Old Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
divided by four. With exception of such change, the rights and preferences of
the New Common Stock will be the same as those of the Old Common Stock.
Also the number of authorized shares of common stock for IDII was
increase from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000.
On July 10, 1998 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
issuance to the a related party, Oregon Properties, Inc. and Slark Ventures,
Inc. d/b/a Barclay Group (the Barclay Group), 962,500 shares New Common Stock.
The issuance was to further compensate the related party for loans made to the
Company in the amount of $665,210. The New Common Stock issued to the Barclay
Group will be restricted under the rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission. Since November 1997 the Barclay Group has
loaned the Company $584,710 through June 30, 1998. Since June 30, 1998 an
additional $80,500 has been loaned to the Company by the Barclay Group. The
shares were accounted for as a loan fee to be amortized over the one year term
of the loans. The loan fee will be recorded in the third quarter of 1998 in the
amount of $67,375.
The Company has been in discussions with a private investor for the
possibility of placing preferred stock in the amount of $8,000,000. The
potential investor is a corporation, trust, estate benefit plan, partnership
other entity, which comes within a category of "accredited investor" as that
term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. However, there can be no assurances that such financing can be obtained
upon reasonable terms or that it will be available in the near future.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
International Diversified Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (the Company)
unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere
herein.
General
As described in Note 2 - Reverse Acquisition of Notes to Unaudited
Financial Statements, the Company acquired CARIBSUN on October 16, 1997. The
transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, although the Company acquired CARIBSUN, CARIBSUN was treated as the
acquiring person for accounting purposes, and the Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Cash Flows reflect only the activity of CARIBSUN from January 1,
1997 through October 16, 1997. The Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998 includes the combined activity
of CARIBSUN and the Company. As a result, even though the Company's revenues
continue to be derived primarily from the services of seated, fully clothed back
rubs and the sale of back-related products. The information presented in the
Company's financial statements makes it appear as though the Company was
essentially inactive until the acquisition. The Company began operations in
August 1993, and opened its first store for business in October 1993. The
Company currently owns and operates 4 retail stores in New York City. In
addition, the Company has a franchisee operating at the Roosevelt Field Mall on
Long Island. In the quarter ended June 30, 1998 the franchise store located at
the Exchange Towers in Toronto, Canada opened for business. Also the franchise
store located at the Plaza of Americas in Dallas, Texas opened for business on
July 28, 1998. The Company has also entered into a franchise agreement for a
store in the Los Angeles California area.
The Company plans to focus the Company's resources on franchise sales in
the future. The focus should allow the Company to shift its revenue mix away
from services of seated, fully clothed back rubs and the sale of back rub
related products to franchise fees and 6% royalty fees on the gross revenues of
franchisees. While there are no assurances that the Company can achieve the
revenue mix change it is seeking, management believes with the proper marketing
and franchise support the revenue mix change can be obtained.
The development of the Antiguan property is still in the preliminary
phases. The impact on the Company's current operations, except to the extent
that financing costs and general and administrative expenses are incurred as the
property is prepared for financing and development. Once the feasibility study
is completed and the decision is made as to the type of development best suited
to the property, financing for the project will be sought. There can be no
assurances the financing for the project can be secured and the development
begun.
Results of Operations
Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Three Month Period Ended June
30, 1997
After giving affect of the reverse acquisition for the three month
period ended June 30, 1998, revenue from, services, products and franchising
operations increased to $341,371 compared to $0 for the comparable period in the
prior year. The appearance of an increase was due solely to the accounting for
the reverse acquisition that took place on October 16, 1997. CARIBSUN had no
revenue in 1997 and only revenues of the Company were included for the period
from October 17, 1997 forward. A clearer picture of changes in revenue is
contained in the pro-forma information contained in Note 2 of Notes to Unaudited
Financial Statements of the Company. The following is pro-forma information
concerning results of operations as if the acquisition occurred on January 1,
1996. For the three month period the pro-forma revenue, of International
Diversified Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries, from services, products and
franchising operations (the Company's historical business) decreased to $403,514
compared to $930,639 for the comparable period in the prior year. The net
decrease of $527,425 (56.7%) was primarily attributable to the number of stores
open in 1998 were less than the number of stores opened for the comparable
period in the prior year.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations - cont'd
Operating expenses were $1,221,760 for the three month period ended June
30, 1998 as compared to $82,000 for the comparable period in the prior year, an
increase of $1,139,760 (1,390%). The increase was due to the reverse acquisition
that took place on October 16, 1997. Operating expenses on a pro-forma basis
were $1,221,760 for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
$1,539,304 for the comparable period in the prior year, a decrease of $317,544
(20.6%). This decrease was primarily due to the closure of seven stores during
the year and a reduction of corporate overhead.
On a pro-forma basis, salaries and wages were $399,678 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $482,583 for the comparable
period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to stores
opened in 1997 being closed in 1998. Cost of products sold, were $26,493 for
three month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $139,491 for the
comparable period in the prior year. The decrease can be directly attributable
to the reduction of working capital the Company experienced in 1998. The
Company's stores carried very limited quantities of product in 1998. Rental
expense was $202,780 for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared
to $290,890 for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease is
primarily attributable to stores opened in 1997 being closed in 1998.
Advertising and promotion was $105,875 for the three month period ended June 30,
1998 as compared to $8,090 for the comparable period in the prior year. The
decrease can be directly attributable to the work performed by the marketing
company retained by the Company. The marketing company is responsible for the
remaking of the image of The Great American BackRub, Inc. a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. Depreciation was $41,497 for three month period ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $64,748 for the comparable period in the prior
year. Amortization of Goodwill was $69,502 for three month period ended June 30,
1998 as compared to $69,502 for the comparable period in the prior year.
Goodwill is being amortized over a five year period. Management fees were $0 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $82,000 for the
comparable period in the prior year. The management fees were accrued for a full
three months in 1997 and none for the three months in 1998. The management fees
were charged by the former parent of CARIBSUN. General and administrative was
$375,935 for three month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $401,290 for
the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was due to the reduced
working capital the Company experienced in 1998. Employees at the corporate
offices were reduced in 1998 as were related corporate expenses.
As a result of the decrease revenue, the pro-forma net loss for the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 increased to $855,028 compared to
$606,178 for the comparable period in the prior year. No provision for income
taxes was required during either period since the Company operated at a loss.
While general and administrative expenses are expected to increase due
to the need for additional management and administrative support for the
Company's expanding franchise marketing, sales and support, these expenses as a
percentage of total revenue are expected to decline as total revenue increases.
Other expense items, such as advertising and promotion, as they are related to
franchise marketing and franchise support, are expected to increase as the
franchise base increases. Advertising and promotion, salaries and wages, costs
of products, however, as they are related to retail operations themselves and
their relative percentage of total revenue are likely to decline over the next
year as corporate owned stores are sold to potential franchisees.
As part of the Company's plan to focus on franchise sales as opposed to
the operating of retail stores, management plans to close five of the nine
company owned stores during the quarter ending June 30, 1998. As a result,
revenues and expenses related to the operation of retail stores will be
significantly lower in future periods. Revenue from franchise fees and training
of franchisees is expected to partially offset the loss of revenue from retail
operations, but may not have a significant effect until the fourth quarter of
1997.

Six Month Period Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to Six Month Period Ended June 30,
1997
After giving affect of the reverse acquisition for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998, revenue from, services, products and franchising operations
increased to $1,109,701 compared to $0 for the comparable period in the prior
year. The appearance of an increase was due solely to the accounting for the
reverse acquisition that took place on October 16, 1997. CARIBSUN had no revenue
in 1997 and only revenues of the Company were included for the period from
October 17, 1997 forward. A clearer picture of changes in revenue is contained
in the pro-forma information contained in Note 2 of Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements of the Company. The following is pro-forma information concerning
results of operations as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1996. For the
six month period the pro-forma revenue, of International Diversified Industries,
Inc. and Subsidiaries, from services, products and franchising operations (the
Company's historical business) decreased to $1,109,701 compared to $2,037,895
for the comparable period in the prior year. The net decrease of $928,194
(45.5%) was primarily attributable to the number of stores open in 1998 were
less than the number of stores opened for the comparable period in the prior
year.
Operating expenses were $2,477,816 for the six month period ended June
30, 1998 as compared to $171,334 for the comparable period in the prior year, an
increase of $2,306,482 (1,346.2%). The increase was due to the reverse
acquisition that took place on October 16, 1997. Operating expenses on a
pro-forma basis were $2,477,816 for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to $3,276,981 for the comparable period in the prior year, a decrease
of $799,162 (24.4%). This decrease was primarily due to the closure of three
stores during the year and a reduction of corporate overhead.
On a pro-forma basis, salaries and wages were $757,697 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $617,591 for the comparable period in
the prior year. Cost of products sold, were $75,764 for six month period ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $292,731 for the comparable period in the prior
year. The decrease can be directly attributable to the reduction of working
capital the Company experienced in 1998. The Company's stores carried very
limited quantities of product in 1998. Rental expense was $436,487 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $576,999 for the comparable
period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to stores
opened in 1997 being closed during 1998. Advertising and promotion was $132,667
for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $47,165 for the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase can be directly attributed to
the work performed by the marketing company retained by the Company. The
marketing firm is responsible for remaking the image of The Great American
BackRub, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Non-cash financial
advisory fees was $0 for six month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
$43,750 for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily
due to the non-cash compensation issued in 1997 to the underwriters of the
canceled preferred stock offering that was attempted in early 1997. Depreciation
was $82,994 for six month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $103,144 for
the comparable period in the prior year. Amortization of Goodwill was $139,004
for six month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $139,004 for the
comparable period in the prior year. Goodwill is being amortized over a five
year period. Management fees were $0 for the six month period ended June 30,
1998 as compared to $164,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. The
management fees were accrued for a full six months in 1997 and none for the six
months in 1998. The management fees were charged by the former parent of
CARIBSUN. General and administrative was $855,203 for six month period ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to $901,683 for the comparable period in the prior
year. The decrease was due to the reduced working capital the Company
experienced in 1998. Employees at the corporate offices were reduced in 1998 as
were related corporate expenses.
As a resulted of the decease revenues, the pro-forma net loss for the
six month period ended June 30, 1998 increased to $1,436,002 compared to
$1,381,825 for the comparable period in the prior year. No provision for income
taxes was required during either period since the Company operated at a loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had a working capital deficit as of June 30, 1998 of
($2,917,283), after giving effect to the reverse acquisition compared to a
working capital of ($465,755) as of June 30, 1997 prior to the reverse
acquisition. The decrease is primarily due to amounts spent on operations in the
development of a corporate infrastructure in anticipation of the Company's
former growth strategy of developing corporate owned stores.
Inasmuch as the Company continues to have a high level of operating
expenses and will be required to make certain up-front expenditures in
connection with its proposed franchise expansion, the Company anticipates that
losses will continue for at least the next nine months and until such time, if
ever, the Company is able to generate significant revenues or achieve profitable
operations. As a result, in their report on the Company's Financial Statements
as of December 31, 1997, the Company's independent certified public accountants
have included an explanatory paragraph that describes factors raising
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
On February 5, 1997, the Company filed a registration statement to offer
270,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for approximately
$2,700,000, which, if successful, after commissions and fees, would provide the
Company with net proceeds of approximately $2,000,000. The principal underwriter
ceased doing business before the offering was completed and no securities were
sold. Also in November 1997, a related party, Oregon Properties, Inc. and Slark
Ventures, Inc. d/b/a Barclay Group, loaned the Company $250,000, and in the
first six months of 1998, Barclay Group funded an additional $334,710. Since
June 30, 1998 an additional $80,500 has been loaned to the Company by Barclay
Group.
In accordance with current management's plans, the Company has been in
discussions with a private investor in the possibility placing preferred stock
in the amount of $8,000,000. The potential investor is a corporation, trust,
estate benefit plan, partnership, or other entity, which comes within a category
of "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, there can be no assurances
that such financing can be obtained upon reasonable terms or that it will be
available in the near future or that parties relating to the Company will
continue to provide necessary financial accommodation. While management believes
that such financing will provide sufficient capital to fund the Company's growth
and pay the bridge notes, if it is not available, the Company will have to
substantially reduce its operations.
Forward Looking Statements
This report contains certain forward-looking statements that are based
on current expectations. In light of the important factors that can materially
affect results, including those set forth above and elsewhere in this report,
the inclusion of forward-looking information herein should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans
of the Company will be achieved. The Company may encounter competitive,
financial and business challenges making it more difficult than expected to
continue to develop its stores, franchises and real estate projects; necessary
financing may not be available or may only be available upon onerous terms;
competitive conditions within the industry may change adversely; the Company may
be unable to retain existing key management personnel; the Company's forecasts
may not accurately anticipate market demand; and there may be other material
adverse changes in the Company's operations or business. Certain important
factors affecting the forward-looking statements made herein include, but are
not limited to (i) accurately forecasting capital expenditures; and (ii)
obtaining new sources of external financing. Assumptions relating to budgeting,
marketing, and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and
thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revision based on actual
experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause the Company
to alter its capital expenditures or other budgets, which may in turn affect the
Company's financial position and results of operations.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company was a defendant in a landlord tenant action entitled Fashion
Mall Partners, L.P. v. The Great American BackRub Store, Inc. (Civil Court of
White Plains, State of New York) in which the landlord was seeking past due rent
of approximately $300,000 and possession of the premises. Fashion Mall Partners,
L.P. has received a judgment in the amount of approximately $300,000. The
Company has entered in negotiations for settlement of the judgment in an amount
significantly less than the judgment amount. The Company believes a settlement
will be reached shortly, however there can be no assurances that a settlement
will be reached.
The Company is also party to several claims of vendors which are not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 3, 1998 The Company effected a change in domicile merger. As a
result of the merger each share of Old Common Stock is reduced to 1/4 of a share
of New Common Stock. See Item 5 Other Events.
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
A Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 22, 1998, the
shareholders of The Great American BackRub Store, Inc. (the "Company") approved
a proposal to reincorporate under the laws of the State of Delaware through the
merger of the Company with a Delaware subsidiary specifically formed for this
purpose (the "Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger, the name of the Company was changed to
"International Diversified Industries, Inc." ("IDII") and on August 3, 1998 (the
"Record Date"), each share of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the "Old Common Stock") was automatically converted into
one-fourth of a share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "New
Common Stock"). As a result, holders of Old Common Stock became entitled to
receive one share of New Common Stock for each four shares of Old Common Stock
held by them on the Record Date. As a further result of the merger the number of
shares remaining to be issued to Ascot will be reduced to 1,524,354 shares of
New Common Stock.
No fractional shares of New Common Stock are being issued by the Company
in connection with the Merger. Instead, holders of Old Common Stock who would
otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of New Common Stock will
receive from the Company a cash payment from their fractional interest on the
basis of a price (after giving effect to the Merger) of $0.28 per New Share.
As a result of the Merger, the Number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock will be reduced to a number that will be approximately equal to the number
of shares of Old Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
divided by four. With exception of such change, the rights and preferences of
the New Common Stock will be the same as those of the Old Common Stock.
Also the number of authorized shares of common stock for IDII was
increased from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000.

FOURTH-A: Designation, Number and Relative Rights, Preferences,
Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Preferred Stock. The designation,
number and relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the
Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:
Section 1. Designation, Number and Par Value. A series of preferred
stock of the Corporation (the "Preferred Stock") is hereby designated as
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (referred to herein as the "Series
A Preferred
3
<PAGE>
Stock"), and the number of shares of Preferred Stock so designated is
4,000,000 shares. The par value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be $.001.
Section 2. Dividends.
(a) The holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor (and subject to the
limitation described in the last sentence of this paragraph), cumulative
dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the rate of 7.0%
(or $0.35) per annum per share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, and
no more, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 in each year. Such
dividends shall be cumulative from the later of the date of issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock or the most recent dividend payment date on which
dividends have been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock by the
Corporation. Dividends shall be payable either (at the Company's option) in
cash or in shares of Common Stock on the basis of the average Closing
Prices (as defined in Section 6(c)) of the Common Stock for the ten
consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day preceding the
record date for the dividend payment. Each such dividend shall be paid to
the holders of record of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as they
appear on the stock records of the Corporation on such record date, not
more than 30 days nor less than 10 days preceding the dividend payment date
thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized
committee thereof. If a holder converts a share or shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock after the close of business on the record date for a
dividend and before the opening of business on the payment date for such
dividend, then, pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the holder will be required
to pay to the Corporation at the time of such conversion the amount of such
dividend (unless the shares were converted after the issuance of a notice
of redemption with respect to such shares, in which event the holder of
such shares shall be entitled to the dividend payable thereon on such
dividend payment date).
(b) If dividends are not paid in full, or declared in full and sums
set apart for the payment thereof, upon the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock and shares of any other preferred stock ranking on a parity
as to dividends with the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared
upon shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and of any other preferred
Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends shall be paid or declared PRO
RATA so that in all cases the amount of dividends paid or declared per
share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other shares of preferred
stock shall bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated dividends
per share, including dividends accrued or in arrears, if any, on the shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock and such other shares of preferred stock
bear to each other. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, unless
cumulative dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have
been paid or declared in full and sums set aside for the payment thereof,
no dividends (other
4
<PAGE>
than dividends in shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) or in
shares of any other capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the
Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets upon
liquidation) shall be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other
distribution made upon the Corporation's Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), or any other capital stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to
dividends, nor shall any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other
capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or
otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment made to or
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation (except by conversion into
or exchange for shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior
to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets
upon liquidation). Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or
shares of capital stock, in excess of full accrued and cumulative dividends
as herein provided. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall
be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.
The terms "accrued dividends," "dividends accrued" and "dividends in
arrears," whenever used herein with reference to shares of preferred stock
shall be deemed to mean an amount which shall be equal to dividends thereon
at the annual dividend rates per share for the respective series thereof
from the date or dates on which such dividends commence to accrue to the
end of the then current quarterly dividend period for such preferred stock
(or, in the case of redemption, to the date of redemption), less the amount
of all dividends paid, or declared in full and sums set aside for the
payment thereof, upon such shares of preferred stock.
(c) Dividends payable on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
for any period less than a full quarterly dividend period shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual
number of days elapsed in the period for which payable.
Section 3. Optional Redemption.
(a) The shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at
the option of the Corporation by resolution of its Board of Directors, in
whole or from time to time in part, at any time on or after the fifth
anniversary of the date of original issuance (the "Warrant Issue Date") of
Warrants to purchase Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a Confidential
Private Offering Memorandum dated November 25, 1996, subject to the
limitations set forth below, at a redemption price of $5.25 per share (the
"Redemption Price"), plus all dividends accrued and
5
<PAGE>
unpaid on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock up to the date fixed
for redemption, upon giving notice as provided below.
(b) If less than all of the outstanding shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed
shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed
shall be determined pro rata or by lot or in such other manner and subject
to such regulations as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall
prescribe.
(c) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for the redemption of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, a written
notice shall be mailed to each holder of record of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock to be redeemed in a postage prepaid envelope addressed to
such holder at his post office address as shown on the records of the
Corporation, notifying such holder of the election of the Corporation to
redeem such shares, stating the date fixed for redemption thereof (the
"Redemption Date"), and calling upon such holder to surrender to the
Corporation on the Redemption Date at the place designated in such notice
his certificate or certificates representing the number of shares specified
in such notice of redemption. On or after the Redemption Date each holder
of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and
surrender his certificate or certificates for such shares to the
Corporation at the place designated in such notice and thereupon the
redemption price of such shares shall be paid to or on 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 case less
than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. From and
after the Redemption Date (unless default shall be made by the Corporation
in payment of the redemption price), all dividends on the shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption in such notice shall
cease to accrue, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of
the Corporation, except the right to receive the redemption price of such
shares (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption
Date) upon the surrender of certificates representing the same, shall cease
and terminate and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except
with the consent of the Corporation) on the books of the Corporation, and
such shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever. At its election, the Corporation prior to the Redemption Date
may deposit the redemption price (including all accrued and unpaid
dividends up to the Redemption Date) of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock so called for redemption in trust for the holders thereof with a bank
or trust company (having a capital surplus and undivided profits
aggregating not less than $50,000,000) in the Borough of Manhattan, City
and State of New York, or in any other city in which the Corporation at the
time shall maintain a transfer agency with respect to such shares, in which
case the aforesaid notice to holders of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed shall state the date of such deposit, shall specify
the office of such bank
6
<PAGE>
or trust company as the place of payment of the redemption price, and shall
call upon such holders to surrender the certificates representing such
shares at such place on or after the date fixed in such redemption notice
(which shall not be later than the Redemption Date) against payment of the
redemption price (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the
Redemption Date). Any interest accrued on such funds shall be paid to the
Corporation from time to time. Any moneys so deposited which shall remain
unclaimed by the holders of such shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at
the end of two years after the Redemption Date shall be returned by such
bank or trust company to the Corporation.
If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Section 3
and any holder of shares of this Series A Preferred Stock shall, prior to
the close of business on the last business day preceding the Redemption
Date, give written notice to the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 below of
the conversion of any or all of the shares to be redeemed held by such
holder (accompanied by a certificate or certificates for such shares, duly
endorsed or assigned to the Corporation, and any necessary transfer tax
payment, as required by Section 6 below), then such redemption shall not
become effective as to such shares to be converted, such conversion shall
become effective as provided in Section 6 below and any moneys set aside by
the Corporation for the redemption of such shares of converted Series A
Preferred Stock shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation
(unless such shares were converted after the close of business on the
record date for a dividend and before the opening of business on the
payment date for such dividend, in which event the holders of such shares
shall be entitled to the dividend payable thereon on such dividend payment
date).
(d) Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock redeemed, repurchased or
retired pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 or surrendered to the
Corporation upon conversion or shall thereupon be retired and may not be
reissued as shares of the Series A Preferred Stock but shall thereafter
have the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Preferred Stock,
without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated
as part of a particular series of the Preferred Stock.
Section 4. Voting Rights.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote
on any matter except (i) as provided in Section 8 and (ii) as required by
law.
Section 5. Liquidation Rights.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or otherwise, after payment
or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the
Corporation, the holders of
7
<PAGE>
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in
cash, out of the remaining net assets of the Corporation, the amount of
Five Dollars ($5.00) for each share of the Series A Preferred Stock held by
them, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on each such
share up to the date fixed for distribution, before any distribution shall
be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other capital stock
of the Corporation ranking (as to any such distribution) junior to the
Series A Preferred Stock. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, the assets distributable among the holders of shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock and all other classes and series of
preferred stock ranking (as to any such distribution) on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment in full to
the holders of all such shares of all preferential amounts payable to all
such holders, then the entire assets of the Corporation thus distributable
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the shares of the Series
A Preferred Stock and such other classes and series of preferred stock
ranking (as to any such distribution) on a parity with the Series A
Preferred Stock in proportion to the respective amounts that would be
payable per share if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.
(b) For purposes of this Section 5, a distribution of assets in any
dissolution, winding up or liquidation shall not include (i) any
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
corporation, (ii) any dissolution, liquidation, winding up or
reorganization of the Corporation immediately followed by reincorporation
of another corporation or (iii) a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets to another corporation;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in each case, effective provision is made in the
certificate of incorporation of the resulting and surviving corporation or
otherwise for the protection of the rights of the holders of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock.
(c) After the payment of the full preferential amounts provided for
herein to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or funds
necessary for such payment have been set aside in trust for the holders
thereof, such holders shall be entitled to no other or further
participation in the distribution of the assets of the Corporation.
Section 6. Conversion.
(a) Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right, exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the first
anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date, except in the case of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption, to convert all or any such
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock
(calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) such
that each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into the
greater of (i) two shares of Common Stock (the "Base Conversion Rate"),
subject to adjustment as described below, or
8
<PAGE>
(ii) a number shares of Common Stock equal to $8.00 divided by the average
of the Closing Prices (as defined in Section 6(c) per share of the Common
Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the third trading
day preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in Section 6(b)). In the case
of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption, conversion
rights will expire at the close of business on the last business day
preceding the Redemption Date. Notice of an optional redemption must be
mailed not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date. Upon conversion, no adjustment or payment will be made for
dividends, but if any holder surrenders a share of the Series A Preferred
Stock for conversion after the close of business on the record date for the
payment of a dividend and prior to the opening of business on the next
dividend payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the dividend
payable on such dividend payment date will be paid to the registered holder
of such share on such record date. In such event, such share, when
surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business
on any dividend payment record date and the opening of business on the
corresponding dividend payment date, must be accompanied by payment of an
amount equal to the dividend payable on such dividend payment date on the
share so converted (unless such share was converted after the issuance of a
notice of redemption with respect to such share, in which event such share
shall be entitled to the dividend payable thereon on such dividend payment
date).
(b) Any holder of share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
electing to convert such share or shares thereof shall deliver the
certificate or certificates therefor to the principal office of any
transfer agent for the Common Stock, with the form of notice of election to
convert as the Corporation shall prescribe fully completed and duly
executed and (if so required by the Corporation or any conversion agent)
accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Corporation and to any conversion agent, duly executed by the registered
holder or his duly authorized attorney, and transfer taxes, stamps or funds
therefor or evidence of payment thereof if required pursuant to Section
6(d). The conversion right with respect to any such shares shall be deemed
to have been exercised at the date (the "Conversion Date") upon which the
certificates therefor accompanied by such duly executed notice of election
and instruments of transfer and such taxes, stamps, funds, or evidence of
payment shall have been so delivered, and the person or persons entitled to
receive the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall
be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares
of the Common Stock upon said date.
(c) No fractional shares of the Common Stock or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock. If more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the
number of full shares of the Common Stock which shall be issuable upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of shares of the Series A
9
<PAGE>
Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of the
Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
fraction of the Closing Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock on
the last trading day preceding the date of conversion. The Closing Price
for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular way or, in case
no such reported sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported
closing bid and asked prices regular way, on the principal national
securities exchange on which Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities
exchange, the closing sale price of Common Stock, or in case no reported
sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, on the
Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (collectively,
"NASDAQ"), the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (the "Bulletin Board") or any
comparable system, or if the Common Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ, the
Bulletin Board or any comparable system, the closing sale price or, in case
no reported sale takes place, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices, as furnished by any two members of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. selected from time to time by the Corporation for
that purpose.
(d) If a holder converts a share or shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock, the Corporation shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or
transfer tax due on the issue of Common Stock upon the conversion. The
holder, however, shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax which
is due (or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation payment
thereof) if the shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of
such holder and shall pay to the Corporation any amount required by the
last sentence of Section 6(a) hereof.
(e) The Corporation shall reserve and shall at all times have reserved
out of its authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock sufficient
shares of the Common Stock to permit the conversion of the then outstanding
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock which
may be issued upon conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In order that the
Corporation may issue shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will endeavor to comply
with all applicable Federal and State securities laws and will endeavor to
list such shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon conversion on each
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed.
(f) The conversion rate in effect at any time shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) In case the Corporation shall (1) pay a dividend in shares of
the Common Stock to holders of the Common Stock, (2) make a
10
<PAGE>
distribution in shares of the Common Stock to holders of the Common
Stock, (3) subdivide the outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a
greater number of shares of the Common Stock or (4) combine the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
of the Common Stock, the Base Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to be
equal to the Base Conversion Rate immediately prior to such event
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such event. An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 6(f)(i) shall become effective immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and
shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the
case of a subdivision or combination.
(ii) In case the Corporation shall issue rights or warrants to
all holders of the Common Stock entitling them (for a period
commencing no earlier than the record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants
and expiring not more than 45 days after such record date) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock (or securities
convertible into shares of the Common Stock) at a price per share less
than the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section
6(f)(iv)) of the Common Stock on such record date, the Base Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to Base
Conversion Rate immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of
additional shares of the Common Stock offered (or into which the
convertible securities so offered are convertible), and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding on such record date, plus the number of shares of the
Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the offered shares
of the Common Stock (or the aggregate conversion price of the
convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such current
market price. Such adjustments shall become effective immediately
after such record date.
(iii) In case the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of
the Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock other than the
Common Stock, evidence of indebtedness or other assets (other than
cash dividends out of current or retained earnings), or shall
distribute to substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights or
warrants to subscribe for securities (other than those referred to in
Section 6(f)(ii)), then in each such case the Base Conversion Rate
shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the Base
Conversion Rate immediately prior to the date of such distribution
multiplied by a fraction of which the
11
<PAGE>
numerator shall be the current market price (determined as provided in
Section 6(f)(iv)) of the Common stock on the record date mentioned
below, and of which the denominator shall be such current market price
of the Common Stock, less the then fair market value (as determined by
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
evidence of such fair market value) of the portion of the assets so
distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to
one share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of the holders
of the Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation shall
distribute rights or warrants (other than those referred to in Section
6(f)(ii), ("Rights") pro rata to holders of the Common Stock, the
Corporation may, in lieu of making any adjustment pursuant to this
Section 6(f)(iii), make proper provision so that each holder of a
share of Series A Preferred Stock who converts such share after the
record date for such distribution and prior to the expiration or
redemption of the Rights shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a number of Rights to
be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to
the date for the distribution to the holder of Rights of a separate
certificate evidencing such Rights (the "Distribution Date"), the same
number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares of the Common
Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time
of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of and
applicable to the Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the
Distribution Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the
number of shares of the Common Stock into which a share of the Series
A Preferred Stock so converted was convertible immediately prior to
the Distribution Date would have been entitled on the Distribution
Date in accordance with the terms and provisions of and applicable to
the Rights.
(iv) The current market price per share of the Common Stock on
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices
for thirty consecutive trading days commencing forty-five trading days
before the day in question. The closing price for each day shall be
the last reported sale price regular way or, in case no such reported
sale takes place on such date, the average of the reported closing bid
and asked prices on the principal national securities exchange on
which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the
closing sale price of Common Stock, or in case no reported sale takes
place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, on the Nasdaq
National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (collectively,
"NASDAQ"), the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (the "Bulletin Board") or
any comparable system, or if the Common
12
<PAGE>
Stock is not quoted on NASDAQ, the Bulletin Board or any comparable
system, the closing sale price or, in case no reported sale takes
place, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, as furnished
by any two members of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. selected from time to time by the Corporation for that purpose.
(v) In any case in which this Section 6 shall require that an
adjustment be made immediately following a record date, the
Corporation may elect to defer (but only until five business days
following the mailing of the notice described in Section 6(j)) issuing
to the holder of any share of the Series A Preferred Stock converted
after such record date the shares of the Common Stock and other
capital stock of the Corporation issuable upon such conversion over
and above the shares of the Common Stock and other capital stock of
the Corporation issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the
conversion rate prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the
issuance of which is so deferred, the Corporation shall issue or cause
its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence
of the right to receive such shares.
(g) No adjustment in the Base Conversion Rate shall be required until
cumulative adjustments result in a concomitant change of 1% or more of the
Base Conversion Rate as in effect prior to the last adjustment of the Base
Conversion Rate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of
this Section 6(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under
this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment to the
conversion rate shall be made for cash dividends.
(h) In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
Section 6(f), the holder of any share of the Series A Preferred Stock
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any
shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than shares of the Common
Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon
conversion of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common
Stock contained in this Section 6.
(i) The Corporation may make such increases in the conversion rate, in
addition to those required by Sections 6(f)(i), (ii) and (iii), as it
considers to be advisable in order than any event treated for Federal
income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be
taxable to the recipients thereof.
(j) Whenever the conversion rate is adjusted, the Corporation shall
promptly mail to all holders of record of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock a notice of the adjustment and shall cause to be prepared a
certificate signed by a
13
<PAGE>
principal financial officer of the Corporation setting forth the adjusted
conversion rate and a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and the computation thereof; such certificate shall forthwith be
filed with each transfer agent for the shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock.
(k) In the event that:
(1) the Corporation takes any action which would require an
adjustment in the Base Conversion Rate,
(2) the Corporation consolidates or merges with, or transfers
all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation and stockholders of the Corporation must approve
the transaction, or
(3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation,
the Corporation shall mail to holders of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock a notice stating the proposed record or effective date of the
transaction, as the case may be. The Corporation shall mail the notice at
least 10 days before such date; however, failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to
in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 6(k).
(l) If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party other
than a merger in which the Corporation is the continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a
change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no
par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in,
outstanding shares of the Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of
all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation as
an entirety, then the Corporation, or such successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance,
provide in its certificate of incorporation or other charter document that
each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the
kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and
property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of
shares of the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of the
Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Such certificate of
incorporation or other charter document shall provide for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
14
<PAGE>
adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The foregoing, however, shall
not in any way affect the right a holder of a share of the Series A
Preferred Stock may otherwise have, pursuant to clause (ii) of the last
sentence of Section 6(f)(iii), to receive Rights upon conversion of a share
of the Series A Preferred Stock. If, in the case of any such consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and property
(including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of the Common Stock
includes shares of capital stock or other securities and property of a
corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case
may be, in such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, then the
certificate of incorporation or other charter document of such other
corporation shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as the
Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the
foregoing. The provisions of this Section 6(1) shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
Section 7. Ranking. With regard to rights to receive dividends and
distributions upon dissolution of the Corporation, the Series A Preferred
Stock shall rank prior to the Common Stock and on a parity with any other
Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation, unless the terms of such other
Preferred Stock provide otherwise and, if applicable, the requirements of
Section 8 hereof have been complied with.
Section 8. Limitations. In addition to any other rights provided by
applicable law, so long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote, or
the written consent as provided by law, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a class,
(a) create, authorize or issue any class or series of capital stock,
or rights to subscribe to or to acquire, or any security convertible into,
any class or series of capital stock ranking as to payment of dividends,
distribution of assets upon liquidation or voting rights, prior to the
Series A Preferred Stock; or
(b) amend, alter or appeal, whether by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
(including this Certificate of Designation) that would change the
preferences, rights or powers with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock
so as to affect the Series A Preferred Stock adversely;
but (except as otherwise required by applicable law) nothing herein
contained shall require such a vote or consent (i) in connection with any
increase in the total number of authorized shares of the Common Stock, or
(ii) in connection with the authorization or increase of any class or
series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends and distribution of assets
upon liquidation, junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred
Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such vote or
15
<PAGE>
written consent of the holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when the issuance of
any such shares ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Stock is to be made
or any such change is to take effect, as the case may be, provision is made
for the redemption of all the then outstanding shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock.
Section 9. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock will possess any preemptive rights to subscribe for or
acquire any unissued shares of capital stock of the Corporation (whether
now or hereafter authorized) or securities of the Corporation convertible
into or carrying a right to subscribe for or acquire shares of capital
stock of the Corporation."
III. The following articles were added to the Certificate of Incorporation:
"ELEVENTH: Compromise and Arrangement. Whenever a compromise or
arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any
class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholder or any
class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of
Delaware may, on application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any
creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or
receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section
291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in
dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation
under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a
meeting of the creditors of class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders
or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be
summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number
representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors,
and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as
the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any
reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such compromise or
arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization
shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been
made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all
the creditors or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case
may be, and also on this Corporation.
"TWELFTH: Liability of Directors. No director of the Corporation shall
have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the
Corporation, except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an
improper personal benefit.
"THIRTEENTH: Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made
a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (hereinafter a
16
<PAGE>
"proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he
or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the
Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such
proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a
director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the
Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended (but in the case of any such amendment only to the extent that such
amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights
than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment
only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to
provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and low
(including attorneys, fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred
or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs,
executors and administrators: provided, however, that except as provided in
paragraph 10.1 hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person
seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof)
which was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The
right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract
right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation
Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any
other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a
director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee
benefit plan) in advance of final disposition of such a proceeding, shall
be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation
may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to
employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as
the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
(a) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph 10 of
this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days
after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant
may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, the
claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such
claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required
undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that
the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible
under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to
17
<PAGE>
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. The burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper under the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not
met such applicable standard or conduct, shall be a defense to the action
or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.
(b) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its
final disposition conferred in this Section 10 shall not be exclusive of

vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(c) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense,
to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or
not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation law.
