CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
PERSONICS CORPORATION
Charles E. Garvin and Francis S. Currie certify that:
1. They are the President and Secretary of Personics Corporation, a California corporation.
2. Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation is amended to read in full as follows:
“This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated respectively Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 10,000,000, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 5,000,000. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series of Preferred Stock, to decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. The initial series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,000,000 shares.
The corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State of California increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on the respective classes of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as follows:
1. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of $0.08 per share per annum, on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock of the Corporation for such year. The right to such dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. No dividend shall be paid on the Common Stock in any year, other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, until all accrued dividends for such year have been declared and paid on the Preferred Stock. In the event that the Board of Directors shall have declared and paid, or set apart for payment, all dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock at the rates specified in this section in any one fiscal year, and shall elect to declare additional dividends in that fiscal year out of funds legally available therefor, such additional dividends shall be declared and paid on each share of Preferred Stock at the same time as any dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the dividends paid on such number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock, on the record date for such dividend payment, is convertible.
(b) As authorized by Section 402.5(c of the California Corporations Code, the provisions of Sections 502 and 503 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply with respect to repurchases by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued to or held by (i) employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, or (ii) any shareholders, pursuant to the Company’s By-laws.
2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the Corporation shall be made in the following manner:
(a) The holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus finds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, the amount of $1.00 per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them, and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock held by them. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the
JVR 3/8
2
entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them bears to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of the distribution upon the occurrence of such event. After payment has been made to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held, assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or the merger of any other corporation or corporations into the Corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any other corporate reorganization, in which consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization the shareholders of the Corporation receive distributions in cash or securities of another corporation or corporations as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization, shall not be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or by Section 4 hereof, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock of the Company having general voting power and not separately as a class. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. Cumulative voting shall apply with respect to the elections of the Board of Directors.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
3
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $1.00 by the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion shall initially be $1.00 with respect to shares of Series A Preferred (the “Conversion Price”). The initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price (i) upon the vote of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten 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 to the public at a price per share (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than $3.00 per share (appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations, stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like) and an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $5,000,000. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as aforesaid, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the Corporation shall not be obligated to
4
issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion on the date of closing of the offering, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.
In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. 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, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Other Distributions.
In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution (excluding any repurchases of securities by the Corporation not made on a pro-rata basis from all holders of any class of the Corporation’s securities) payable in property or in securities of the Corporation other than
5
shares of Common Stock, and other than as otherwise adjusted in this Section 4 or as provided in Section 1(a), then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive at the time of such distribution, the amount of property or the number of securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.
Except as provided in Section 2 upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, 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 above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such 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 receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change.
(e) No Impairment. Except as provided in Section 5, the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, 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 like certificate setting forth (i) such
6
adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this Corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this Corporation shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock:
(1) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this Corporation.
7
5. Covenants.
(a) Amendment by Majority Vote. In addition to any other rights provided by law, so long as at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Preferred shall be outstanding, this Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of such outstanding shares of the affected series of Preferred Stock:
(i) amend or repeal any provision of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation;
(ii) authorize or issue shares of any class of stock having any preference or priority as to dividends or assets superior to or on a parity with any such preference or priority of such series of Preferred Stock;
(iii) reclassify any shares of Common Stock and any other shares of this Corporation other than the Preferred Stock into shares having any preference or priority as to dividends or assets superior to or on a parity with any such preference or priority of the Preferred Stock;
(iv) effect any transactions which would be treated as a distribution under Section 305(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; or
(v) effect (i) any sale of all or substantially all the assets or technology of the Corporation, or (ii) any merger or other reorganization of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or (iii) any transaction or series of transactions which would be integrated for purposes of the Federal Securities Act of 1933 and which would cause the occurrence of the events referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), above after such merger, reorganization or transaction(s).
(b) Amendment by Supermajority Vote. Section 5(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, this corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than ninety percent (90%) of such outstanding shares of the affected series of Preferred Stock:
(i) reduce the number of directors of the corporation to less than five (5); or
(ii) amend this Section 5(b).
8
6. Status of Converted Stock. In case any shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.
3. The foregoing amendment of Articles of Incorporation has been duly approved by the Board of Directors.
4. The foregoing amendment of Articles of Incorporation has been duly approved by the required vote of shareholders in accordance with Sections 902 and 903 of the Corporations Code. The total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the corporation is 1,400,000. The number of shares of Common Stock voting in favor of the amendment equaled or exceeded the vote required. The percentage vote required was more than 50% of the Common Stock.
We further declare under penalty of perjury that the matters set forth in the foregoing Certificate are true and correct of our own knowledge.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
PERSONICS CORPORATION
Charles E. Garvin and Francis S. Currie certify that:
1. They are the President and Secretary of Personics Corporation, a California corporation.
2. Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation is amended to read in full as follows:
“This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated respectively Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 10,000,000, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 5,000,000. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series.
The first series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,500,000 shares. The second series of Preferred Stock shall be designates Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and shall consist of 350,000 shares. The third series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,150,000 shares.
The corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State of California increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on the respective classes of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as follows:
1. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of (i) $0.08 per share per annum, on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred, (ii) $0.16 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred, and (iii) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock of the Corporation for such year. The right to such dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. No dividend shall be paid on the Common Stock in any year, other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, until all accrued dividends for such year have been declared and paid on the Preferred Stock. Dividends, if paid, or if declared and set apart for payment, must be paid on, or declared and set apart for payment on, all series of Preferred Stock contemporaneously and if less than full dividends shall be paid on the Preferred Stock, the same percentage of dividends shall be paid on or declared and set apart for payment on each series of Preferred Stock, based on the individual dividend preference of each series vis a vis the aggregate dividend preference of all series. In the event that the Board of Directors shall have declared and paid, or set apart for payment, all dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock at the rates specified in this section in any one fiscal year, and shall elect to declare additional dividends in that fiscal year out of funds legally available therefor, such additional dividends shall be declared and paid on each share of each series of Preferred Stock at the same time as any dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the dividends paid on such number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock, on the record date for such dividend payment, is convertible.
(b) As authorized by Section 402.5(c) of the California Corporations Code, the provisions of Sections 502 and 503 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply with respect to repurchases by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued to or held by (i) employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, or (ii) any shareholders, pursuant to the Company’s By-laws.
2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary
2
or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the Corporation shall be made in the following manner:
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, the amount of (i) $1.00 per share for each share of Series A Preferred then held by them, (ii) $2.00 per share for each share of Series B Preferred then held by them, (iii) $3.50 per share for each share of Series C Preferred then held by them, and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock held by them. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock then held by each holder bears to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of the distribution upon the occurrence of such event. After payment has been made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held, assuming conversion of the Preferred Stock.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or the merger of any other corporation or corporations into the Corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any other corporate reorganization, in which consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization the shareholders of the Corporation receive distributions in cash or securities of another corporation or corporations as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization, shall not be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or by Section 4 hereof, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, such
3
votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock of the Corporation having general voting power and not separately as a class. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. Cumulative voting shall apply with respect to the elections of the Board of Directors.
4. Converstion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined (i) in the case of Series A Preferred by dividing $1.00 by the Series A Conversion Price, (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred, by dividing $2.00 by the Series B Conversion Price and (iii) in the case of the Series C Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series C Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion shall initially be $1.00 with respect to shares of Series A Preferred (the “Series A Conversion Price”), $2.00 with respect to shares of Series B Preferred (the “Series B Conversion Price”) and $3.50 with respect to shares of Series C Preferred (the “Series C Conversion Price”). The term “Conversion Price” as used herein shall refer to the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price, as applicable. The initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price (i) upon the vote of a majority of the Preferred Stock voting as a class, or (ii) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten 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 to the public at a price per share (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than $5.00 per share (appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations, stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like) and an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $10,000,000. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as aforesaid, the person(s)
4
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion on the date of closing of the offering, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
5
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.
In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. 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, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Other Distributions.
In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution (excluding any repurchases of securities by the Corporation not made on a pro-rata basis from all holders of any class of the Corporation’s securities) payable in property or in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, and other than as otherwise adjusted in this Section 4 or as provided in Section 1(a), then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive at the time of such distribution, the amount of property or the number of securities of the Corporation that they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.
Except as provided in Section 2 upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, 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 above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such 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 receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of
6
stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change.
(e) No Impairment. Except as provided in Section 5, the Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, 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 like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this Corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
7
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this Corporation shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock:
(1) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this Corporation.
5. Covenants.
(a) Amendment by Majority Vote. In addition to any other rights provided by law, so long as at least fifty percent (50%) of the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, this Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the Preferred Stock voting as a class:
(i) amend or repeal any provision of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation;
(ii) authorize or issue shares of any class of stock having any preference or priority as to dividends or assets superior to or on a parity with any such preference or priority of such series of Preferred Stock;
(iii) reclassify any shares of Common Stock and any other shares of this Corporation other than the Preferred Stock into shares having any preference or priority as to dividends or assets superior to or on a parity with any such preference or priority of the Preferred Stock;
8
(iv) effect any transactions which would be treated as a distribution under Section 305(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; or
(v) effect (i) any sale of all or substantially all the assets or technology of the Corporation, or (ii) any merger or other reorganization of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or (iii) any transaction or series of transactions which would be integrated for purposes of the Federal Securities Act of 1933 and which would cause the occurrence of the events referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), above after such merger, reorganization or transaction(s).
(b) Amendment by Supermajority Vote. Section 5(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, this corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock voting as a class:
(i) reduce the number of directors of the corporation to less than five (5); or
(ii) amend this Section 5(b).
6. Status of Converted Stock. In case any shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.
3. The foregoing amendment of Articles of Incorporation has been duly approved by the Board of Directors.
4. The foregoing amendment of Articles of Incorporation has been duly approved by the required vote of shareholders in accordance with Sections 902 and 903 of the Corporations Code. The total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the corporation is 1,400,000. The number of shares of Common Stock voting in favor of the amendment equaled or exceeded the vote required.

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
PERSONICS CORPORATION
Charles E. Garvin and Royce Garvin certify that:
1. They are the President and Assistant Secretary of Personics Corporation, a California corporation.
2. Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation is amended to read in full as follows:
“This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated respectively Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 10,000,000, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 6,471,428. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The first series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,500,000 shares. The second series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and shall consist of 800,000 shares. The third series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,600,000 shares. The fourth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”) and shall consist of 571,428 shares. The Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred are sometimes referred to collectively hereinafter as the “Preferred Stock”.
The corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State of California increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on the respective classes of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as follows:
1. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of (i) $0.08 per share per annum, on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred, (ii) $0.16 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred, (iii) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred, and (iv) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding shares of Series D Preferred, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock of the corporation for such year. The right to such dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. No dividend shall be paid on the Common Stock in any year, other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, until all dividends for such year which have been declared have been paid on the Preferred Stock. Dividends, if paid, or if declared and set apart for payment, must be paid on, or declared and set apart for payment on, all series of Preferred Stock contemporaneously, and if less than full dividends shall be paid on the Preferred Stock, the same percentage of dividends shall be paid on or declared and set apart for payment on each series of Preferred Stock, based on the individual dividend preference of each series vis a vis the aggregate dividend preference of all series. In the event that the Board of Directors shall have declared and paid, or set apart for payment, all dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock at the rates specified in this section in any one fiscal year, and shall elect to declare additional dividends in that fiscal year out of funds legally available therefor, such additional dividends shall be declared and paid on each share of each series of Preferred Stock at the same time as any dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the dividends paid on such number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock, on the record date for such dividend payment, is convertible.
(b) As authorized by Section 402.5(c) of the California Corporations Code, the provisions of Sections 502 and 503 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply with respect to repurchases by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued to or held by (i) employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, or (ii) any shareholders, pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws.
2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the corporation shall be made in the following manner:
2
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, the amount of (i) $1.00 per share for each share of Series A Preferred then held by them, (ii) $2.00 per share for each share of Series B Preferred then held by them, (iii) $3.50 per share for each share of Series C Preferred then held by them, (iv) $3.50 per share for each share of Series D Preferred then held by them, and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock held by them. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock then held by each holder bears to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of the distribution upon the occurrence of such event. After payment has been made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held, assuming conversion of the Preferred Stock.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, a merger or consolidation of the corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or the merger of any other corporation or corporations into the corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation, or any other corporate reorganization, in which consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization the shareholders of the corporation receive distributions in cash or securities of another corporation or corporations as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization, shall not be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.
3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or by Section 4 hereof, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock, except for the shares of Series D Preferred which shall have only those voting rights expressly provided in these Articles of Incorporation or under applicable law, shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock entitled to vote could be converted at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such
3
record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock of the corporation having general voting power and not separately as a class. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the corporation. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock entitled to vote held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. Cumulative voting shall apply with respect to the elections of the Board of Directors.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined (i) in the case of Series A Preferred by dividing $1.00 by the Series A Conversion Price, (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred, by dividing $2.00 by the Series B Conversion Price, (iii) in the case of the Series C Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series C Conversion Price, and (iv) in the case of the Series D Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series D Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion shall initially be $1.00 with respect to shares of Series A Preferred (the “Series A Conversion Price”), $2.00 with respect to shares of Series B Preferred (the “Series B Conversion Price”), $3.50 with respect to shares of Series C Preferred (the “Series C Conversion Price”) and $3.50 with respect to shares of Series D Preferred (the “Series D Conversion Price”). The term “Conversion Price” as used herein shall refer to the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price, and the Series D Conversion Price, as applicable. The initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price (i) upon the vote of a majority of the Preferred Stock voting together as a single class, or (ii) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten 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 to the public at a
4
price per share (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than $10.00 per share (appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations, stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like) and an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $10,000,000. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as aforesaid, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the corporation to indemnify the corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion on the date of closing of the offering, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
5
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.
In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. 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, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Other Distributions.
In the event the corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution (excluding any repurchases of securities by the corporation not made on a pro-rata basis from all holders of any class of the corporation’s securities) payable in property or in securities of the corporation other than shares of Common Stock, and other than as otherwise adjusted in this Section 4 or as provided in Section 1(a), then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive at the time of such distribution, the amount of property or the number of securities of the corporation that they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.
Except as provided in Section 2 upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, 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 above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of
6
Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change.
(e) No Impairment. Except as provided in Section 5, the corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, 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 like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
7
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this corporation shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock:
(1) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this corporation.
5. Covenants.
(a) Amendment by Majority Vote.

| PERSONICS CORPORATION | |
Charles E. Garvin and Royce Garvin certify that:
1. They are the President and Assistant Secretary of Personics Corporation, a California corporation.
2. Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation is amended to read in full as follows:
“This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated respectively Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 15,000,000, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 8,893,048. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The first series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,500,000 shares. The second series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and shall consist of 800,000 shares. The third series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,600,000 shares. The fourth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”) and shall consist of 571,428 shares. The fifth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series D-l Preferred Stock (“Series D-l Preferred”) and shall consist of 165,820 shares. The sixth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series E Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,255,800 shares. The Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series D-l Preferred and Series E Preferred are sometimes referred to collectively hereinafter as the “Preferred Stock”.
The corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State of California increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on the respective classes of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as follows:
1. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of (i) $0.08 per share per annum, on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred, (ii) $0.16 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred, (iii) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred, (iv) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series D Preferred, (v) $0.40 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series D-l Preferred and (vi) $0.40 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series E Preferred, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock of the corporation for such year. The right to such dividends on the preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. No dividend shall be paid on the Common Stock in any year, other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, until all dividends for such year which have been declared have been paid on the Preferred Stock. Dividends, if paid, or if declared and set apart for payment, must be paid on, or declared and set apart for payment on, all series of Preferred Stock contemporaneously, and if less than full dividends shall be paid on the Preferred Stock, the same percentage of dividends shall be paid on or declared and set apart for payment on each series of Preferred Stock, based on the individual dividend preference of each series vis a vis the aggregate dividend preference of all series. In the event that the Board of Directors shall have declared and paid, or set apart for payment, all dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock at the rates specified in this section in any one fiscal year, and shall elect to declare additional dividends in that fiscal year out of funds legally available therefor, such additional dividends shall be declared and paid on each share of each series of Preferred Stock at the same time as any dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the dividends paid on such number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock, on the record date for such dividend payment, is convertible.
(b) As authorized by Section 402.5(c) of the California Corporations Code, the provisions of Sections 502 and 503 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply with respect to repurchases by the corporation of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued to or held by (i) employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to
2
agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, or (ii) any shareholders, pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws.
2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the corporation shall be made in the following manner:
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, the amount of (i) $1.00 per share for each share of Series A Preferred then held by them, (ii) $2.00 per share for each share of Series B Preferred then held by them, (iii) $3.50 per share for each share of Series C Preferred then held by them, (iv) $3.50 per share for each share of Series D Preferred then held by them, (v) $5.00 per share for each share of Series D-1 Preferred then held by them, and (vi) $5.00 per share for each share of Series E Preferred then held by them, and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock held by them. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock then held by each holder bears to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of the distribution upon the occurrence of such event. After payment has been made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held, assuming conversion of the Preferred Stock.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, a merger or consolidation of the corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or the merger of any other corporation or corporations into the corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation, or any other corporate reorganization, in which consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization the shareholders of the corporation receive distributions in cash or securities of another corporation or corporations as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization, shall not be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.
3
3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or by Section 5 hereof, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock, except for the shares of Series D Preferred which shall have only those voting rights expressly provided in these Articles of Incorporation or under applicable law, shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock entitled to vote could be converted at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock of the corporation having general voting power and not separately as a class. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the corporation. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock entitled to vote held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. Cumulative voting shall apply with respect to the elections of the Board of Directors.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined (i) in the case of Series A Preferred by dividing $1.00 by the Series A Conversion Price, (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred, by dividing $2.00 by the Series B Conversion Price, (iii) in the case of the Series C Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series C Conversion Price, (iv) in the case of the Series D Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series D Conversion Price, (v) in the case of the Series E-l Preferred, by dividing $5.00 by the Series E Conversion Price, and (vi) in the case of the Series E Preferred, by dividing $5.00 by the Series E Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion shall initially be $1.00 with respect to shares of Series A Preferred (the “Series A Conversion Price”), $2.00 with respect to shares of Series B Preferred (the “Series B Conversion Price”), $3.50 with respect to shares of Series C Preferred (the “Series C Conversion Price”), $3.50 with respect to shares of Series D Preferred (the “Series D Conversion Price”), $5.00 with respect to shares of Series D-l Preferred (the
4
“Series D-1 Conversion Price”) and $5.00 with respect to shares of Series E Preferred (the “Series E Conversion Price”). The term “Conversion Price” as used herein shall refer to the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price, the Series D Conversion Price, the Series D-l Conversion Price, and the Series E Conversion Price, as applicable. The initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price (i) upon the vote of a majority of the Preferred Stock voting together as a single class, except that each share of Series E Preferred shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the then effective Series E Conversion Price only upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the Series E Preferred, or (ii) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten 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 to the public at a price per share (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than $10.00 per share (appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations, stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like) and an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $10,000,000. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as aforesaid, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common
5
Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the corporation to indemnify the corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion on the date of closing of the offering, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.
In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise), into a greater number of share of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. 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, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Other Distributions.
In the event the corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution (excluding any repurchases of securities by the corporation not made on a pro-rata basis from all holders of any class of the corporation’s securities) payable in property or in securities of the corporation other than shares of Common Stock, and other than as otherwise adjusted
6
in this Section 4 or as provided in Section 1(a), then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive at the time of such distribution, the amount of property or the number of securities of the corporation that they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.
Except as provided in Section 2 upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, 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 above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such 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 receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change.
(e) No Impairment. Except as provided in Section 5, the corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, 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 re-adjustment 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 like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of
7
Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this corporation shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock:
(1) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this corporation.
5. Covenants.
(a) Amendment by Majority Vote of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series D-l Preferred and Series E Preferred. In addition to any other rights provided by law, so long as at least twenty percent
8
(20%) of the authorized Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series D-1 Preferred and Series E Preferred shall be outstanding, this corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series D-l Preferred and Series E Preferred voting together as a single class:

(v) effect (i) any sale of all or substantially all the assets or technology of the corporation, (ii) any merger or other reorganization of the corporation with or into another corporation, or (iii) any transaction or series of transactions which would cause the occurrence of the events referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above.
(b) Amendment by Majority Vote of Series E Preferred. In addition to any other rights provided by law, so long as at least twenty percent (20%) of the authorized Series E Preferred shall be outstanding, this corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the Series E Preferred:
(i) amend or repeal any provision of the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation if such action would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series E Preferred in a manner different from the effect such action would have upon the rights, preferences and privileges, of the other series of Preferred Stock;

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
PERSONICS CORPORATION
Charles E. Garvin and Royce B. Garvin certify that:
1. They are the President and Assistant Secretary of Personics Corporation, a California corporation.
2. Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation is amended to read in full as follows:
“This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated respectively Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 15,000,000, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have authority to issue is 12,949,287. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The first series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,500,000 shares. The second series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and shall consist of 800,000 shares. The third series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,600,000 shares. The fourth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”) and shall consist of 571,428 shares. The fifth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series D-l Preferred Stock (“Series D-l Preferred”) and shall consist of 172,945 shares. The sixth series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series E Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred”) and shall consist of 2,255,800 shares. The seventh series of Preferred Stock shall be designated Series F Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred”) and shall consist of 4,049,114 shares. The Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series D-l Preferred, Series E Preferred and Series F Preferred are sometimes referred to collectively hereinafter as the “Preferred Stock”.
The corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State of California increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed on the respective classes of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as follows:
1. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of (i) $0.08 per share per annum, on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred, (ii) $0.16 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred, (iii) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred, (iv) $0.28 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series D Preferred, (v) $0.40 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series D-l Preferred, (vi) $0.40 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series E Preferred and (vii) $0.26 per share per annum on each outstanding share of Series F Preferred, payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on Common Stock of the corporation for such year. The right to such dividends on the Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. No dividend shall be paid on the Common Stock in any year, other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, until all dividends for such year which have been declared have been paid on the Preferred Stock. Dividends, if paid, or if declared and set apart for payment, must be paid on, or declared and set apart for payment on, all series of Preferred Stock contemporaneously, and if less than full dividends shall be paid on the Preferred Stock, the same percentage of dividends shall be paid on or declared and set apart for payment on each series of Preferred Stock, based on the individual dividend preference of each series vis a vis the aggregate dividend preference of all series. In the event that the Board of Directors shall have declared and paid, or set apart for payment, all dividends accrued on the Preferred Stock at the rates specified in this section in any one fiscal year, and shall elect to declare additional dividends in that fiscal year out of funds legally available therefor, such additional dividends shall be declared and paid on each share of each series of Preferred Stock at the same time as any dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the dividends paid on such number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock, on the record date for such dividend payment, is convertible.
(b) As authorized by Section 402.5(c) of the California Corporations Code, the provisions of Sections 502 and 503 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply with respect to repurchases by the corporation of shares of Common Stock or Preferred stock issued to or held by (i) employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to
2
agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, or (ii) any shareholders, pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws.
2. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the corporation shall be made in the following manner:
(a) The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, the amount of (i) $1.00 per share for each share of Series A Preferred then held by them, (ii) $2.00 per share for each share of Series B Preferred then held by them, (iii) $3.50 per share for each share of Series C Preferred then held by them, (iv) $3.50 per share for each share of Series D Preferred then held by them, (v) $5.00 per share for each share of Series D-l Preferred then held by them, (vi) $5.00 per share for each share of Series E Preferred then held by them, and (vii) $3.25 per share for each share of Series F Preferred then held by them, and, in addition, an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock held by them. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock then held by each holder bears to the aggregate preferential amount of all shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of the distribution upon the occurrence of such event. After payment has been made to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining assets, based on the number of shares of Common Stock held, assuming conversion of the Preferred Stock.
(b) For purposes of this Section 2, a merger or consolidation of the corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or the merger of any other corporation or corporations into the corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation, or any other corporate reorganization, in which consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization the shareholders of the corporation receive distributions in cash or securities of another corporation or corporations as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale of assets or reorganization, shall not be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.
3
3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or by Section 5 hereof, the holder of each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall have one vote and the holder of each share of Preferred Stock, except for the shares of Series D Preferred which shall have only those voting rights expressly provided in these Articles of Incorporation or under applicable law, shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock entitled to vote could be converted at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of stock of the corporation having general voting power and not separately as a class. Holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the corporation. Fractional votes by the holders of Preferred Stock entitled to vote shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights shall (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock entitled to vote held by each holder could be converted) be rounded to the nearest whole number. Cumulative voting shall apply with respect to the elections of the Board of Directors.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined (i) in the case of Series A Preferred by dividing $1.00 by the Series A Conversion Price, (ii) in the case of Series B Preferred, by dividing $2.00 by the Series B Conversion Price, (iii) in the case of the Series C Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series C Conversion Price, (iv) in the case of the Series D Preferred, by dividing $3.50 by the Series D Conversion Price, (v) in the case of the Series D-l Preferred, by dividing $5.00 by the Series D Conversion Price, (vi) in the case of the Series E Preferred, by dividing $5.00 by the Series E Conversion Price, and (vii) in the case of the Series F Preferred, by dividing $3.25 by the Series F Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion. The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion shall initially be $1.00 with respect to shares of Series A Preferred (the “Series A Conversion Price”), $2.00 with respect to shares of Series B Preferred (the “Series B Conversion Price”), $3.50 with respect to shares of Series C Preferred (the “Series C Conversion Price”), $3.50 with respect to shares of Series D
4
Preferred (the “Series D Conversion Price”), $5.00 with respect to shares of Series D-l Preferred (the “Series D-l Conversion Price”) , $3.25 with respect to shares of Series E Preferred (the “Series E Conversion Price”) and $3.25 with respect to shares of Series F Preferred (the “Series F Conversion Price”). The term “Conversion Price” as used herein shall refer to the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price, the Series D Conversion Price, the Series D-l Conversion Price, the Series E Conversion Price, and the Series F Conversion Price, as applicable. The initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Price (i) upon the vote of a majority of the Preferred Stock voting together as a single class, except that each share of Series E Preferred shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the then effective Series E Conversion Price only upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the Series E Preferred and each share of Series F Preferred shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the then effective Series F Conversion Price only upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the Series F Preferred, or (ii) upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten 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 to the public at a price per share (prior to underwriter commissions and offering expenses) of not less than $10.00 per share (appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations, stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and the like) and an aggregate offering price to the public of not less than $10,000,000. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as aforesaid, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of 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 Conversion Price. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant
5
to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the corporation to indemnify the corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion on the date of closing of the offering, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(d) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidation of Common Stock.
In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. 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, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Other Distributions.
In the event the corporation at any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution (excluding any
6
repurchases of securities by the corporation not made on a pro-rata basis from all holders of any class of the corporation’s securities) payable in property or in securities of the corporation other than shares of Common Stock, and other than as otherwise adjusted in this Section 4 or as provided in Section 1(a), then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive at the time of such distribution, the amount of property or the number of securities of the corporation that they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.
Except as provided in Section 2 upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, 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 above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such 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 receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately before that change.
(e) No Impairment. Except as provided in Section 5, the corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, 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 re-adjustment is based. The corporation shall, upon the written
7
request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event that this corporation shall propose at any time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, this corporation shal1 send to the holders of the Preferred Stock:
(1) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (i) and (ii) above: and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Each such written notice shall be delivered personally or given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of the Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of this corporation.
