RESOLVED, that this Board of Directors, pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, hereby authorizes the issue from time to time of a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation and hereby fixes the designation, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in addition to those set forth in said Certificate of Incorporation, to be in their entirety as follows:

Section 1. Designation and Number. The series of Preferred Stock is designated and known as Class B, Series Two, Convertible Preferred Stock. The number of shares constituting Class B, Series Two, Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series Two Preferred Stock) is 80,000. All equity securities of the Corporation ranking as to dividends or distributions of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation that are junior to the Series Two Preferred Stock, including the Corporation’s common stock, $.001 par value (the Common Stock), are sometimes hereinafter referred to as Junior Securities.

Section 2. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of Series Two Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of any Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $100 per share (the Liquidation Value), plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series Two Preferred Stock. All of the preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of the Series Two Preferred Stock under this Section 2 is paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to, the holders of any Junior Securities, in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If the assets or surplus funds to be distributed to the holders of the Series Two Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of their full preferential amount, the assets and surplus funds legally available for distribution are distributed ratably among the holders of the Series Two Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

(a) After the payment or the setting apart of payment to the holders of the Series Two Preferred

The conversion price at which shares of Common Stock is deliverable upon conversion of Series Two Preferred Stock without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder thereof (the Series Two Conversion Price) initially equals $0.763 per share of Common Stock. The Series Two Conversion Price is subject to adjustment, in order to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series Two Preferred Stock is convertible, as hereinafter provided.

(b) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Series Two Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series Two Conversion Price. Before any holder of Series Two Preferred Stock is entitled to receive certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series Two Preferred Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series Two Preferred Stock, and shall, in the case of conversion under Section 3(a) hereof, give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same, and shall state therein his name or the name or names of his nominees in which he wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of the certificate(s) representing Series Two Preferred Stock, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series Two Preferred Stock, or to his nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he is entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share and cash in payment of declared dividends on the shares of Series Two Preferred Stock converted through the date of conversion, and a certificate or certificates for such shares of Series Two Preferred Stock as were represented by the certificates surrendered and not converted. Voluntary conversions pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof is deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series Two Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(x) The numerator of which is (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock

 

5


issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Series Two Preferred Stock or Convertible Securities) plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Series Two Conversion Price, and

(y) The denominator of which is (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any outstanding Series Two Preferred Stock or Convertible Securities) plus (2) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued; provided that the Series Two Conversion Price in effect with respect to the Series Two Preferred Stock shall not be so reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.001, but any such amount is carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.001 or more.

Such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding after such date of redemption and payment of the Redemption Price has been made in full to the holders of those shares scheduled for redemption. In case less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate is issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.

(d) Redemption Price.

(f) Dividends after Redemption Date.
