share of Series A Preferred Stock as being equal to the number of shares of

ARTICLE 6.
CONVERSION OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
SECTION 6.1. Conversion. A Holder of any share or shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time
after the Current Conversion Date (unless a Liquidation Event has occurred prior
to that date) to cause any or all of such shares to be converted into shares of
Common Stock. The initial Conversion Rate for each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be equal to one share of Series A Preferred Stock for one share of
Common Stock, which Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided.
If a Holder elects to convert Series A Preferred Stock at a time when there are
any declared and unpaid dividends or other amounts due on such shares, to the
extent permitted by applicable law (which the Corporation shall use its best
efforts to comply with in order to permit such payment of declared and unpaid
dividends or other amounts), such dividends and other amounts shall be paid in
full by the Corporation in connection with such conversion.
SECTION 6.2. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. Conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the
Holder by telecopying an executed and completed notice of conversion in the form
annexed hereto as Annex I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Corporation. Each
date on which a Conversion Notice is telecopied to and received by the
Corporation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall
constitute a Conversion Date. The Corporation shall convert the Series A
-6-
Preferred Stock and issue the Common Stock Issued at Conversion effective as of
the Conversion Date. The Conversion Notice also shall state the name or names
(with addresses) of the persons who are to become the Holders of the Common
Stock Issued at Conversion in connection with such conversion. The Holder shall
deliver the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation by express
courier within five (5) days following the date on which the telecopied
Conversion Notice has been transmitted to the Corporation. Upon surrender for
conversion, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be accompanied by a proper
assignment hereof to the Corporation or be endorsed in blank. As promptly as
practicable after the receipt of the Conversion Notice and the surrender of the
Series A Preferred Stock being converted as aforesaid, the Corporation shall (i)
issue the Common Stock Issued at Conversion in accordance with the provisions of
this Article 6, and (ii) cause to be mailed for delivery to the Holder (X) a
certificate or certificate(s) representing the number of Common Shares to which
the Holder is entitled by virtue of such conversion, (Y) cash, as provided in
Section 6.3, in respect of any fraction of a Share issuable upon such conversion
and (Z) cash in the amount of unpaid dividends as of the Conversion Date. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the time at which the
Conversion Notice indicates so long as the Series A Preferred Stock shall have
been surrendered as aforesaid at such time, and at such time the rights of the
Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, as such, shall cease and the Person and
Persons in whose name or names the Common Stock Issued at Conversion shall be
issuable shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of the
Common Shares represented thereby. The Conversion Notice shall constitute a
contract between the Holder and the Corporation, whereby the Holder shall be
deemed to subscribe for the number of Common Shares which it will be entitled to
receive upon such conversion and, in payment and satisfaction of such
subscription (and for any cash adjustment to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 6.4), to surrender the Series A Preferred Stock and to release the
Corporation from all liability thereon. No cash payment aggregating less than
$1.50 shall be required to be given to any Holder unless specifically requested
by the Holder.
SECTION 6.3. Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or
scrip representing fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional Common Shares which
otherwise would be issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount
equal to the same fraction of the Average Price (as adjusted for stock splits).
No cash payment of less than $1.50 shall be required to be given unless
specifically requested by the Holder.
SECTION 6.4. Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or
Mandatory Share Exchange. At any time while the Series A Preferred Stock remains
outstanding and any shares thereof have not been converted, in case of any
reclassification or change of Outstanding Common Shares issuable upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par
value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value or
as a result of a subdivision or combination of outstanding securities issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) or in case of any
consolidation, merger or mandatory share exchange of the Corporation with or
into another corporation (other than a merger or mandatory share exchange with
another corporation in which the Corporation is a continuing corporation and
which does not result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per
share to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of
Outstanding Common Shares upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock), or
in the case of any sale or transfer to another corporation of the property of
the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety (any of which
-7-
shall be identified as a "Major Corporate Event"), the Corporation, or such
successor, resulting or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall,
without payment of any additional consideration therefor, execute a new Series A
Preferred Stock providing that the Holder shall have the right to convert such
new Series A Preferred Stock (upon terms and conditions not less favorable to
the Holder than those in effect pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock) and to
receive upon such exercise, in lieu of each Common Share theretofore issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the kind and amount of shares
of stock, other securities, money or property receivable upon such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, mandatory share exchange, sale
or transfer by the Holder of one Common Share issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock had the Series A Preferred Stock been converted
immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
mandatory share exchange or sale or transfer. The provisions of this Section 6.4
shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations,
mergers, mandatory share exchanges and sales and transfers.
SECTION 6.5. Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock as herein provided, free from any preemptive rights or other obligations,
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable
upon the conversion of all the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. The
Corporation shall prepare and shall use its best efforts to obtain and keep in
force such governmental or regulatory permits or other authorizations as may be
required by law, and shall comply with all requirements as to registration,
qualification or listing of the Common Stock, in order to enable the Corporation
lawfully to issue and deliver to each Holder of record of Series A Preferred
Stock such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding and convertible into shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 6.6. Adjustments. The Conversion Rate in effect, or
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible, from time to time shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. Upon the
issuance of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Common Stock (unless also distributed to Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4.1(a)), the subdivision of
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, or the combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall, simultaneously with
the happening of such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination be
adjusted by multiplying the then effective Conversion Rate by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding
immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after such event. An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) shall be given effect, in the
-9-
case of payment of such a dividend or distribution, as of the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution (on a retroactive basis) and in the case of a subdivision or
combination shall become effective immediately as of the effective date thereof.
(b) Other Adjustments. (i) In event the Corporation shall make
or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of Holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of
the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holders shall receive
upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereupon, the number of securities of the Corporation which they
would have received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into
Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the
period from the date of such event to and including the respective Conversion
Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such
period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period
under this Section 6.6 as applied to such distributed securities.
(ii) If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of
shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend,
subdivision or combination provided for above, or a reorganization, merger,
consolidation or sale of assets provided for in Section 6.4), then and in each
such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into
the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such reclassification or other change, by Holders of the number
of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock
might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification or change,
all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(iii) In the event that as a result of the SEC Investigation
the Corporation or the Surviving Corporation is notified that the SEC
Investigation will result in any form of monetary penalty or other assessment to
be assessed against the Corporation or the Surviving Corporation for payment by
either such company (the "Penalty"), the quotient found by dividing the dollar
amount of the assessed Penalty by the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock that became issuable to the Holders on the Closing Date shall be used as
the numerator, and the Average Price shall be used as the denominator, of a
ratio which when multiplied by the then applicable Conversion Rate shall result
in an adjusted Conversion Rate which will be applicable to all outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, that to the extent that after
further negotiation the announced Penalty is reduced, the Conversion Rate shall
be further adjusted for all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to reflect the actual amount of the Penalty paid at the time that the SEC
Investigation results in a final order issued by the SEC.
SECTION 6.7. Notices. In each case of an adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Corporation will furnish each
registered Holder with a certificate, prepared by the President or Chief
Financial Officer of the Corporation, showing such adjustment or readjustment,
-9-
and stating in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based.
SECTION 6.8. No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by
amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designations,
or through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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
Article 6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock against unreasonable impairment.
SECTION 6.9. Automatic Conversion. In the event that on the
fifth anniversary of the Closing Date there are shares of Series A Preferred
Stock outstanding (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), all Series A Preferred
Stock outstanding shall be converted to Common Stock at the then applicable
Conversion Rate ("Automatic Conversion").
SECTION 6.10. Notice of Automatic Conversion. Notice of
Automatic Conversion pursuant to Section 6.9 shall be provided by the
Corporation to the Holder in writing (by registered mail or overnight courier at
the Holder's last address appearing in the Corporation's security registry) not
fewer than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the Mandatory
Conversion Date.
SECTION 6.11. Surrender of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Sections 6.9, the Holder
shall either deliver the Series A Preferred Stock by hand to the Corporation at
its principal executive offices or surrender the same to the Corporation at such
address by express courier. Issuance of the Common Stock upon Automatic
Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made by the Corporation to
the Holder against receipt of the Series A Preferred Stock.
SECTION 6.12. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of purchase, conversion or
otherwise shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of
the State of Delaware) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of
Preferred Stock, unclassified as to series, and may be reissued as part of any
series of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no such shares shall be
reissued or sold as Series A Preferred Stock.
ARTICLE 7.
VOTING RIGHTS
SECTION 7.1. Voting Rights.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as
required by law, the Holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to vote on all matters for which Holders of Common Stock are entitled
-10-
to vote. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the Holder thereof
to such number of votes per share as shall equal the number of shares of Common
Stock into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible,
determined as of the date for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to vote with respect to such matter. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein (including, without limitation, the provisions of Article 8 hereof) or as
required by law, the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common
Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters.
(b) The Corporation shall provide each Holder of Series A
Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting of the stockholders (and
copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders), which
notice would be provided pursuant to the Corporation's by laws and the Delaware
General Corporation Law ("GCL"). In the event of any taking by the Corporation
of a record of its stockholders for the purpose of determining stockholders who
are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right
to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger,
consolidation or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other
securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of
determining stockholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any
proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the
Corporation shall mail a notice to each Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to
the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date
on which any such action is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent
known at such time.
(c) To the extent that under the GCL the vote of the Holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series as
applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Corporation, the
affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a
quorum is present or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under the GCL) shall
constitute the approval of such action by the class. To the extent that under
the terms of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and/or the GCL Holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with Holders of
Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which it is then convertible using the record date for the
taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Rate
is calculated. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
notice of all stockholder meetings or written consents (and copies of proxy
materials and other information sent to stockholders) with respect to which they
would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the
Corporation's bylaws and the GCL.

the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or
written consent, as provided by the GCL) of the Holders of at least a majority
of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

the Series A Preferred Stock;
(b) create any new class or series of capital stock having a

Securities so as to affect adversely the Series A Preferred Stock;
(c) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock; or
(d) do any act or thing not authorized or contemplated by this
Amendment which would result in taxation of the Holders of shares of the Series
A Preferred Stock under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (or any comparable provision of the Internal Revenue Code as hereafter
from time to time amended).
In the event Holders of at least a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock agree to allow the Corporation to
alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, pursuant to subsection (a) above, so as to affect the Series A
Preferred Stock, then the Corporation will deliver notice of such approved
change to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock that did not agree to such
alteration or change (the "Dissenting Holders") and Dissenting Holders shall
have the right for a period of thirty (30) days to convert pursuant to the terms
of this Amendment as they exist prior to such alteration or change or continue
to hold their shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
