Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive out of funds legally
available therefor, dividends at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors in its
sole discretion may determine.

remain outstanding, subject to the provisions of law and this Certificate of Incorporation, holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends at the annual rate of
6% on the Series B Purchase Price, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any
dividend to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Dividends on the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be cumulative and shall accrue daily but shall be payable and
compound annually on each anniversary after the date of original issuance of each share of Series B

profits, surplus or other funds or assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of

4.3. Series A Preferred Stock Dividends. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
remain outstanding, subject to the provisions of law and this Certificate of Incorporation, holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends at the annual rate of
8% on the Series A Purchase Price, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any
dividend to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be cumulative and shall accrue daily but shall be payable and compound annually on each anniversary
after the date of original issuance of each share of Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not

assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends.
4.4. Participating Dividends. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, in the event that the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall declare a dividend
payable upon the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a stock dividend on the Common
Stock payable solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock), the holders of Series B
Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to any cumulative
dividends to which they may be entitled under Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, respectively, to receive
the amount of dividends per share of such Preferred Stock that would be payable on the number of
whole shares of the Common Stock into which each share of such Preferred Stock held by each holder
could be converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, such number to be determined as
of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
dividend. However, this Section 4.4 shall not apply to any dividends payable in connection with
any event as to which Section 5 hereof applies.
4.5. Record Date for Dividends. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix a record
date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series
B Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend declared thereon, which record date
shall be no more than 60 days and no less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for the payment
thereof.
4.6. Dividends on Conversion. In the event that the Corporation shall have cumulative accrued
and unpaid dividends outstanding on the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock
immediately prior to a conversion of any shares of such Preferred Stock as provided in Section 7
hereof, upon such conversion, the Corporation shall, at the option of the Corporation, with respect
to all such Preferred Stock, either (x) pay in cash to all holders thereof the full amount of any
such dividends or (y) allow such dividends to be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends on such Preferred Stock divided by, as applicable: (a)
the price per share of the Common Stock net of underwriting commissions in the case of a public
offering, (b) the value of the Common Stock in the transaction in question in the case of a
conversion in connection with a Sale of the Corporation or (c) the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as mutually agreed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Required
Holders; provided, however, that if such mutual agreement cannot be reached, such
fair market value shall be determined by following the procedures set forth in the definition of
Appraisal Procedure.
5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up.
5.1. Series B Preferred Stock Preference. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock remain outstanding, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities
of the Corporation, the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock or Series A
Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of
(A) the sum of (i) the Series B Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, combinations,
recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series B Preferred Stock) and (ii) an
amount equal to all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends thereon, or (B) the amount that would
be payable to such holders if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock
immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation. If upon such
liquidation, distribution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the
assets to be distributed are insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the number of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holders.
5.2. Series A Preferred Stock Preference. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock
remain outstanding, after payment has been made in full pursuant to Section 5.1 above, the holders
of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall
be made to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per
share equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) the Series A Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock
dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series A Preferred
Stock) and (ii) an amount equal to all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends thereon, or (B) the
amount that would be payable to such holders if the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted
into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Corporation. If upon such liquidation, distribution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have been
paid in full the amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, the
assets to be distributed are insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock, then the entire amount of such remaining assets of the Corporation to be
distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in
accordance with the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders.
5.3. Treatment of Mergers, Consolidations, Sales of Assets. So long as any shares of
Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless the Required Holders agree in writing otherwise, a Sale
of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the
Corporation for purposes of this Section 5. The term Sale of the Corporation shall mean
(i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (ii) an acquisition of the
Corporation by one or more Persons by means of any transaction or series of related transactions
(including any reorganization, merger, consolidation) where the voting securities of the
Corporation outstanding immediately preceding such transaction or series of transactions or the
voting securities issued with respect to the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding
immediately preceding such transaction or series of transactions represent less than 50% of the
voting securities of the Corporation or surviving entity, as the case may be, following such
transaction or series of transactions, or (iii) a transaction or series of related transactions
resulting in the transfer of shares representing more than 50% of the voting
securities of the Corporation, excluding any transfer to any Affiliate(s) of the transferring
stockholder(s). A sale (or multiple related sales) of one or more Subsidiaries of the Corporation
(whether by way of merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all assets
or securities) which constitutes all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the
Corporation shall be deemed a sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation for purposes
of the foregoing definition.
5.4. Distributions Other Than Cash. Unless the Required Holders determine otherwise, all
payments made pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made in cash. If the amount to be distributed to
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock upon any liquidation,
dissolution, or winding-up (including any transaction treated as such pursuant to Section 5.2)
shall be other than cash, the fair market value of the property, rights, or securities distributed
to such holders shall be mutually agreed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the
Required Holders; provided, however, that if such mutual agreement cannot be
reached, such fair market value shall be determined by following the procedures set forth in the
definition of Appraisal Procedure.
6. Voting Rights. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply only so long as any shares
of Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
6.1. Single Class. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holders of
the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders and to vote together
with the holders of Common Stock as a single class upon any matter submitted to the stockholders
for a vote on the following basis:
6.1.1. holders of Common Stock shall have one vote per share; and
6.1.2. holders of Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes per share as is
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (including fractions of a share) into which
such Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof on the date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.
6.2. Separate Class. In any case where under provisions of applicable law or as set forth
herein, the holders of the Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred
Stock are entitled to vote as a separate class, holders of Common Stock shall have one vote per
share, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have one vote per share, and holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall have one vote per share.
6.3. Series B Preferred Stock Special Voting Rights. Except as expressly provided herein or
as required by law, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, take any of the actions set forth in
Sections 6.3.1 through 6.3.15 below, without the approval, by vote or written consent, of the
Required Holders:

of all other classes or series of the Corporations capital stock, voting at a meeting of
stockholders called for the purpose or by written consent, separately from the Common Stock,
to elect three (3) directors to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Such
directors shall comprise a separate class of directors and be referred to as Series B
Directors. Each Series B Director so elected shall serve until such Persons successor
is duly elected by holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock being the only Persons entitled to remove a Series B Director. No reason
need be given by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock for the removal by the holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock of a Series B Director. If holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock for any reason fail to elect anyone to fill any such directorship, the
position shall remain vacant until such time as holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
elect a Series B Director to fill the position, and such vacancy shall not be filled by
resolution or vote of the Corporations Board of Directors or its other shareholders. All
directors other than the Series B Directors shall be elected by the holders of the Preferred
Stock and the holders of the Common Stock voting as a single class in accordance with
Section 6.1.
6.4.2. Election of Directors Upon Redemption Default. In the event that the
Corporation shall fail to pay the full Mandatory Redemption Price in respect of all shares
of Series B Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date
pursuant to Section 5 hereof and such failure continues for a period of ninety (90) days
following delivery of written notice of such failure by the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock (a Redemption Default), then immediately upon the occurrence of
such Redemption Default and continuing until such time as the Redemption Default is cured,
the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be
increased by the number of directors necessary for the Series B Directors and such
additional directors to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors, and the holders of
the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect such
additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors. A vacancy in any directorship
elected solely by the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.4.2 shall be filled only by vote or
written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or by
any remaining directors elected solely by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 6.4.
7. Conversion of Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion
rights as follows:
7.1. Optional Conversion.
7.1.1. Series B Preferred Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after
the date of issuance thereof and without the payment of any additional consideration
therefor, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is
determined by dividing the Series B Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock
splits, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series B
Preferred Stock) by the Series B Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The
Series B Conversion Price shall initially be equal to the Series B Purchase Price.
The initial Series B Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter
provided.
7.1.2. Series A Preferred Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after
the date of issuance thereof and without the payment of any additional consideration
thereof, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is
determined by dividing the Series A Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock
splits, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events affecting the Series A
Preferred Stock) by the Series A Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The
Series A Conversion Price (and together with the Series B Conversion
Price, each, a Conversion Price) shall initially be equal to the Series A
Purchase Price. The initial Series A Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
hereinafter provided.
7.2. Conversion Upon Certain Events.
7.2.1. Underwritten Public Offerings. All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall
be automatically converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Section 7.1, immediately upon the closing of an
underwritten public offering (a Qualified Public Offering) pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the
offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation in which the aggregate net
proceeds to the Corporation equal or exceed $75,000,000 and the price per share to the
public is not less than $0.2235 (such amount to be equitably adjusted upon the occurrence of
any of the events described in Section 7.5.4) and after which the Common Stock is listed on
the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, without any further action by the
holders of such shares.
7.2.2. Voluntary Conversion of Preferred Stock. All outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock shall, upon the vote or written consent of the Required Holders, be automatically
converted into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is
convertible pursuant to Section 7.1 without any further action by the holders of such
shares. The effective date of conversion hereunder shall be the date specified in the vote
causing conversion, or if no such date is specified, the date the vote is taken.
7.2.3. Surrender. On or after the date of occurrence of any conversion of any
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2, and in any event within ten (10)
days after receipt of notice by mail, postage prepaid, from the Corporation of the
occurrence of such event, each holder of record of shares of such Preferred Stock being
converted shall surrender such holders certificates evidencing such shares at the principal
office of the Corporation or at such other place as the Corporation shall designate, and
shall thereupon be entitled to receive certificates evidencing the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such shares of such Preferred Stock are converted and cash as
provided in Section 7.3 in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise
issuable upon such conversion. On the date of the occurrence of any conversion of Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 7.2.1 or Section 7.2.2, each holder of record or shares of such
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of such
Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Corporation, that
notice from the Corporation shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares
of such Preferred Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock
shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.
7.2.4. Cancellation. All certificates evidencing shares of Preferred Stock that are
required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, from and
after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered shall be deemed to have
been retired and canceled. The Corporation from time to time thereafter shall take
appropriate action to reduce the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
7.3. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of any Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be
entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation.
7.4. Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when any Preferred Stock shall
be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock, for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of such Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of
the outstanding Preferred Stock. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing
the applicable Conversion Price below the then-existing par value of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action
that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion
Price.
7.5. Adjustments to Preferred Stock Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
7.5.1. Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock. If after the Series B Original Issue Date the Corporation shall issue (or pursuant
to Section 7.5.2 be deemed to have issued) Additional Shares of Common Stock, without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series B Conversion Price in
effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in each such event, (i)
the Series B Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the
Series B Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue by a
fraction (the Series B Conversion Fraction), (x) the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale
on a Fully Diluted Basis plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by the Corporation for such issuance would purchase at the Series B
Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, and (y)
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a
Fully Diluted Basis immediately after such issue or sale; and (ii) the Series A Conversion
Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price
in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance by the Series B Conversion
Fraction.
7.5.2. Options and Convertible Securities. In the event the Corporation at any time
shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the
determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or
Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument
relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in
the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of
the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close
of business on such record date; provided, that in any such case in which Additional
Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:
7.5.2.1. no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the
subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
7.5.2.2. such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with
the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration
payable to the Corporation, or increase or decrease in the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, each
Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of
a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon,
shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to
reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights
of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
7.5.2.3. upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion
or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised,
each Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the
occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments
based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(a) | in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation (i) for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or (ii) for the issue of all such Convertible Securities whether or not converted or exchanged plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and | ||
(b) | in the case of Options for Convertible Securities only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 7.5.3) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; |
7.5.2.4. no readjustment pursuant to Section 7.5.2.2 or 7.5.2.3 above shall
have the effect of increasing any Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the
lower of (i) such Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the
Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
7.5.2.5. if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or
Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment
previously made in any Conversion Price which became effective on such record date
shall be cancelled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter
such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 7.5.2 as of the
actual date of their issuance.
7.5.3. Determination of Consideration. For purposes of Section 7.5, the consideration
received by the Corporation for the issuance (or deemed issuance) of any Additional Shares
of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
7.5.3.1. Cash and Property. Such consideration shall: (i) insofar as it
consists of cash, be computed as the aggregate amount of cash received by the
Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued
dividends; (ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at
the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith
by the
Board of Directors, or if the Required Holders request, as determined by independent
accountants of recognized standing promptly selected by the Corporation to value
such property, whereupon such value shall be given to such consideration and shall
be recorded on the books of the Corporation with respect to the receipt of such
property; and (iii) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued
together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for
consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration received
for the Additional Shares of Common Stock, computed as provided in the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
7.5.3.2. Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share
received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have
been issued pursuant to Section 7.5.2, relating to Options and Convertible
Securities, shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received
by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set
forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the
exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange
of such Convertible Securities, by (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
(as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
7.5.4. Adjustment or Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or
Consolidation of Common Stock. In the event that the Corporation at any time shall declare
or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or
in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by
stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or
in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser
number of shares of Common Stock, each Conversion Price then in effect immediately prior to
such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately
decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that the Corporation shall declare or
pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire
Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a
dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of
shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.
7.5.5. Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of
shares provided for in Section 7.5.4 or a merger or other reorganization referred to in
Section 5.3 above), each
Conversion Price then in effect shall concurrently with the effectiveness of such
reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Preferred Stock
shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders
would otherwise have been entitled to received, a number of shares of such other class or
classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of such stock that would have been
subject to receipt by the holders of the Preferred Stock as if such holders had converted
into Common Stock immediately before that change.
7.5.6. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section
7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the
granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity
features), then the Corporations Board of Directors shall make an appropriate reduction in
each Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock.
7.6. Consolidation or Merger. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation, other than a consolidation or
merger which is treated as a liquidation pursuant to Section 5.3, then, as a part of such
consolidation or merger, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting
from such consolidation or merger, to which a holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
would have been entitled on such consolidation or merger. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
(including an adjustment of any Conversion Price then in effect to the price of the Common Stock
reflected in the merger or consolidation if the price is less than such Conversion Price then in
effect) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 7 with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the consolidation or
merger to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 and the number of shares acquirable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be applicable after the consolidation or merger in as
nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable as before the consolidation or merger. So long as
any Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall preserve the rights of the Preferred
Stock, including without limitation the rights set forth in Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. The actions
taken pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Required
Holders.
7.7. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each
holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing
in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall,
upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be
furnished to such holder a similar certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and
readjustments, (ii) the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of shares
of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that then would be received upon the
conversion of such Preferred Stock. All adjustments made pursuant to this Section 7 shall be made
to the nearest one hundredth of a cent.
7.8. No Impairment. The Corporation will not, without the consent of the Required Holders, by
amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
performed under this Section 7 by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred
Stock but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section 7 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock in this Section 7 against impairment.
7.9. Taxes on Conversion. The Corporation will pay any and all original issuance, transfer,
stamp and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.

Stock payable in cash, Common Stock, other securities of the Corporation or otherwise;

(b) | the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of |
which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, liquidation. dissolution, or winding-up. |
