"THIRD: The Corporation is authorized to issue two
classes of stock, to be designated, respectively,
"Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock". The total number
of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue
is 940,000,000 of which (A) 290,000,000 shares shall be
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred"), and (B) 650,000,000
shares shall be Common Stock, $.01 par value (the
"Common"). Of the Preferred, 45,000,000 shares shall be
designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01
par value per share (the "Series A Preferred"),
25,000,000 shares shall be designated Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Series B Preferred"), 70,000,000 shares shall be
designated Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01
par value per share (the "Series C-1 Preferred"),

Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Series C-2 Preferred") and 100,000,000 shares

Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Series C-3
Preferred"). The Series C-1 Preferred, Series C-2
Preferred and Series C-3 Preferred are sometimes
referred to collectively as the "Series C Preferred".
The rights, preferences and privileges of and
restrictions on the Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred and Common are as follows:
SECTION 1. PREFERRED STOCK
(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise require
by law, each share of outstanding Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred shall entitle
the record holder thereof to vote on each matter
submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation and to have the number of votes equal to the
number of whole shares of
2
Common into which such share of Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred or Series C Preferred, as the case
may be, is then convertible pursuant to the provisions
hereof at the record date for the determination of
stockholders 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 stockholders becomes
effective. Except as otherwise required by law or by
this Certificate, the holders of shares of Common,
Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C
Preferred shall vote together and not as separate
classes. Fractional votes shall not be permitted and any
fractional voting rights resulting from the above
formula shall be rounded to the nearest whole number
(with one-half rounded upwards).
(b) Dividends. If any dividend or other
distribution payable in cash, securities or other
property is declared on the Common (other than in
connection with Section 1(c) below), each holder of
shares of Preferred on the record date for such dividend
or distribution shall be entitled to receive, on the
date of payment or distribution of such dividend or
other distribution, the same cash, securities or other
property which such holder would have received on such
record date if such holder was the holder of record of
the number of whole shares of Common into which the
shares of Preferred then held by such holder are then
convertible (with any resulting fractions rounded to the
nearest whole share, with one-half rounded up).
(c) Liquidation Rights. If the Corporation shall
be voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated, dissolved or
wound up (each, a "Liquidation Event"):
(1) Prior and in preference to any
payments or distributions under Sections 1(c)(2),
1(c)(3) and 1(c)(4) below, the holder of each then
outstanding share of Series A Preferred shall be
entitled to receive, out of the assets of the
Corporation legally available for distribution to
stockholders, and before any payment or declaration and
setting apart for payment of any amount or dividend
pursuant to Sections 1(c)(2) or 1(c)(3) below or with
respect to the Common or any other junior equity
security of the Corporation, the amount (the "Series A
Preference") equal to [$______] per share [TO EQUAL THE
PRODUCT OF (x) FIVE (5), MULTIPLIED BY (y) THE AVERAGE
OF THE CLOSING BID AND ASKED PRICES OF THE COMPANY'S
COMMON STOCK FOR THE TWENTY (20) TRADING DAYS ENDING TWO
(2) TRADING DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE
DEBENTURE AND SHARE PURCHASE
3
AGREEMENT, AS SUCH PRICE MAY BE ADJUSTED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 3.4 OF THE FORM OF DEBENTURE] (such amount to be
adjusted proportionally in the event the Series A
Preferred is subdivided into a greater number or
combined into a lesser number of shares). If the
Corporation shall have insufficient assets and funds to
pay such amounts in full to the holders of the Series A
Preferred, then all assets and funds of the Corporation
legally available for distribution shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred in
proportion to the preferential amount each such holder
is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 1(c)(1).
(2) After full payment of the
distributions under Section 1(c)(1) above, but prior and
in preference to any payments or distributions under
Sections 1(c)(3) and 1(c)(4) below, the holder of each
then outstanding share of Series B Preferred shall be
entitled to receive, out of the assets of the
Corporation legally available for distribution to
stockholders, and before any payment or declaration and
setting apart for payment of any amount or dividend
pursuant to Section 1(c)(3) below or with respect to the
Common or any other junior equity security of the
Corporation, the amount (the "Series B Preference")
equal to $.3420 per share (such amount to be adjusted
proportionally in the event the Series B Preferred is
subdivided into a greater number or combined into a
lesser number of shares). If the Corporation shall have
insufficient assets and funds to pay such amounts in
full to the holders of the Series B Preferred (after
payment in full of all amounts pursuant to Section
1(c)(1) above), then all remaining assets and funds of
the Corporation legally available for distribution shall
be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B
Preferred in proportion to the preferential amount each
such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to
this Section 1(c)(2).
(3) After full payment of the
distributions under Sections 1(c)(1) and 1(c)(2) above,
but prior and in preference to any payments or
distributions under Section 1(c)(4) below, the holder of
each then outstanding share of Series C Preferred shall
be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the
Corporation legally available for distribution to
stockholders, and before any payment or declaration and
setting apart for payment of any amount or dividend with
respect to the Common or any other junior equity
security of the Corporation, (i) in the case of Series
C-1 Preferred, the amount (the "Series C-1 Preference")
equal to $.5776 per share, (ii) in the case of Series
C-2 Preferred, the amount (the
4
"Series C-2 Preference") equal to $.5993 per share, and
(iii) in the case of Series C-3 Preferred, the amount
(the "Series C-3 Preference") equal to $.3481 per share,
(in each case such amount to be adjusted proportionally
in the event the Series C-1 Preferred, Series C-2
Preferred or Series C-3 Preferred, as applicable, is
subdivided into a greater number or combined into a
lesser number of shares). If the Corporation shall have
insufficient assets and funds to pay such amounts in
full to the holders of the Series C Preferred (after
payment in full of all amounts pursuant to Sections
1(c)(1) and 1(c)(2) above), then all remaining assets
and funds of the Corporation legally available for
distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series C Preferred in proportion to the
preferential amount each such holder is otherwise
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1(c)(3).
(4) After full payment has been made
to the holders of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred
and Series C Preferred of the liquidation preferences in
Sections 1(c)(1), 1(c)(2) and 1(c)(3), the entire
remaining assets and funds, if any, shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of Common and the Series A
Preferred, in proportion to the number of shares of
Common held by them on an as-converted basis; provided,
that for purposes of calculating the distribution
pursuant to this Section 1(c)(4), and for no other
purposes whatsoever, each share of Series A Preferred
shall be deemed to be convertible into only 30% of the
shares of Common into which it is convertible pursuant
to the terms of Section 1(d) below.
(5) For purposes of this Section
1(c), unless the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in
writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting
(as the case may be) together as a single class, elect
otherwise, (i) the consummation of any merger,
consolidation or similar transaction or series of
related transactions, the result of which is that the
holders of the Corporation's capital stock outstanding
immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately
upon the consummation of such transaction(s), shares of
capital stock possessing in the aggregate less than a
majority of the voting power of the surviving entity or
rights to liquidation distributions of less than 50% of
the assets of the surviving entity, (ii) a sale, lease,
exclusive license, transfer or other conveyance of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation,
or (iii) the sale of 50% or more of the Corporation's
voting stock in one or more series of transactions,
shall (for purposes of the
5
distribution of such securities or other consideration
to the holders of Common and Preferred) be treated as a
Liquidation Event and shall entitle the holders of
Common and Preferred to receive at closing in cash,
securities or other property (valued as provided in
Section 1(c)(6) below) as specified above and in the
order of preference as set forth in this Section 1(c).
(6) Whenever the distribution
provided in this Section 1(c) shall be payable in
property other than cash, subject to the provisions
regarding valuation of securities set forth below, the
value of such distribution shall be its fair market
value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the "Board"). The holders
of a majority of the Series A Preferred will have 10
days from the determination of the valuation of any
securities or other property pursuant this Section 1(c)
to object to such valuation in writing to the
Corporation. In the event of such objection, the
Corporation and a majority in interest of the objecting
stockholders will in good faith seek a resolution of any
disputed valuation. If the Corporation and the objecting
investors are unable to agree on a valuation within 5
days of the objection by the holders of the Series A
Preferred, the valuation will be determined by an
independent third party appraiser jointly selected by
the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, whose
written appraised value will be binding on the
Corporation and its stockholders. Any distributions
pursuant to this Section 1(c) will be delayed until
after the delivery of the appraiser's report. Any
securities shall be valued as follows:
(i) Securities not subject
to investment letter or other similar restrictions on
free marketability covered by (ii) below:
(A) If traded on a
securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National
Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the value shall be
deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the
securities on such exchange over the 30-day period
ending three (3) days prior to the date of
determination;
(B) If actively traded
over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the
average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is
applicable) over the thirty-day period ending three (3)
days prior to the date of determination; and
6
(C) If there is no
active public market, the value shall be determined by
an independent third party appraiser jointly selected by
the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred.
(ii) The method of
valuation of securities subject to investment letter or
other restrictions on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's
status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to
apply an appropriate discount determined in good faith
by the Board from the market value determined as above
in (A), (B) or (C).
(7) The Corporation shall promptly
provide to the holders of shares of Preferred such
information concerning the terms of any event or
transaction specified in Section 1(c)(5) and the value
of the assets of the Corporation as may reasonably be
determined by the Board. If the transaction is a sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation, the Corporation will give written notice of
such transaction to each holder of Preferred not less
than 20 or more than 60 days before the stockholders'
meeting called to approve the transaction or, if no
stockholders' meeting will be called, not less than 20
or more than 60 days before the date that the
transaction is reasonably anticipated to be consummated,
and will also notify the holders in writing of the final
approval of the transaction. The initial notice will
describe the material terms and conditions of the
proposed transaction. The Corporation will give the
holders of Preferred prompt notice of any material
changes to the terms of the proposed transaction. The
Corporation will not consummate the proposed transaction
sooner than 20 days after the Corporation has given
notice of any material changes. By written consent or
vote, the holders of a majority of the shares of Series
A Preferred outstanding may shorten the notice periods
provided in this Section. In the event the requirements
of this Section are not complied with, the Corporation
will either: (i) cause the closing to be postponed until
the requirements of this Section have been complied
with; or (ii) cancel the transaction, in which event the
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the
holders of the Preferred will revert to the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions existing
immediately before the date of the first notice referred
to in this Section.
(d) Conversion.
7
(1) Terms of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. The
holder of each share of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred and Series C Preferred shall have the right
("Conversion Right"), at such holder's option, to
convert such share at any time, without cost, on the
terms of this Section 1(d) and at the office of the
Corporation or its transfer agent, into the number of
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common that
results from dividing (A) in the case of the Series A
Preferred, the Series A Preference by the Series A
conversion price that is in effect at the time of
conversion (the "Series A Conversion Price"), (B) in the
case of the Series B Preferred, the Series B Preference
by the Series B conversion price that is in effect at
the time of conversion (the "Series B Conversion
Price"), (C) in the case of the Series C-1 Preferred,
the Series C-1 Preference by the Series C-1 conversion
price that is in effect at the time of conversion (the
"Series C-1 Conversion Price"), (D) in the case of the
Series C-2 Preferred, the Series C-2 Preference by the
Series C-2 conversion price that is in effect at the
time of conversion (the "Series C-2 Conversion Price")
and (E) in the case of the Series C-3 Preferred, the
Series C-3 Preference by the Series C-3 conversion price
that is in effect at the time of conversion (the "Series
C-3 Conversion Price"). The initial Series A Conversion
Price is equal to [$_____][TO EQUAL THE AVERAGE OF THE
CLOSING BID AND ASKED PRICES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON
STOCK FOR THE TWENTY (20) TRADING DAYS ENDING TWO (2)
TRADING DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE
DEBENTURE AND SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AS SUCH PRICE
MAY BE ADJUSTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.4 OF THE FORM OF
DEBENTURE]. The initial Series B Conversion Price is
equal to the Series B Preference. The initial Series C-1
Conversion Price is equal to the Series C-1 Preference.
The initial Series C-2 Conversion Price is equal to the
Series C-2 Preference. The initial Series C-3 Conversion
Price is equal to the Series C-3 Preference. The Series
A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the
Series C-1 Conversion Price, the Series C-2 Conversion
Price and the Series C-3 Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in
Section 1(d)(3) below.
(ii) Mandatory Conversion.
(A) Upon the occurrence of
a Qualified Trading Event, each share of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred
shall be automatically converted, without cost and on
the terms of this
8
Section 1(d), into the number of whole shares of Common
into which such share of Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred or Series C Preferred, as the case me be,
would be convertible under Section 1(d)(1)(i) above
immediately prior to such Qualified Trading Event (with
any resulting fractions rounded to the nearest whole
share, with one-half rounded up). "Qualified Trading
Event" means the first such time that (A) the Common has
a closing price of at least $2.80 per share (subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, combination or other similar
recapitalization affecting such shares) for thirty
consecutive trading days, and (B) the average daily
trading value of all shares of Common traded during such
thirty consecutive trading day period is at least
$1,750,000. For purposes of this test, (x) closing
prices shall be determined as the average between the
closing bid and ask prices at the close of each trading
day (as reported by such exchange or over-the-counter
market on which the Common may then be listed or
admitted for trading), and (y) the trading value shall
be determined by multiplying the number of shares so
traded by such day's closing price as determined above.
(B) Without limiting
subsection (ii)(A) above, each share of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred
shall be automatically converted without cost and on the
terms of this Section 1(d), into the number of whole
shares of Common into which such share of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred or Series C Preferred, as
the case may be, would be convertible under Section
1(d)(1)(i) above upon the receipt of the written consent
of the holders of at least 51% of the shares of Series A
Preferred.
(2) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. A holder
of any share of Convertible Preferred may exercise the
Conversion Right of such share by surrendering the
certificate therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of
the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the
applicable Preferred, together with a written notice to
the Corporation which shall state (A) that such holder
elects to convert the same, and (B) the number of shares
of Preferred being converted. Thereupon the Corporation
shall issue and deliver to the holder of such shares
within two (2) business days a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common to which
such holder shall be entitled. If the certificate
evidencing the Preferred being
9
converted shall also evidence shares of Preferred not
being converted, then the Corporation shall also deliver
to the holder of such certificate within such two (2)
business day period a new stock certificate evidencing
the Preferred not converted. The conversion of any
shares of Preferred shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date
that the shares to be converted are surrendered to the
Corporation, and the person or persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common issuable upon such
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common on
such date. Any dividends or distributions declared but
unpaid at the time of conversion with respect to the
Preferred so converted shall be paid to the holder of
Common issued upon conversion of the Preferred. If a
stockholder notifies the Corporation or its transfer
agent in writing that the stockholder's certificate has
been lost, stolen or destroyed, and executes an
agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation and its transfer agent to indemnify them
from any loss incurred in connection with the lost,
stolen or destroyed certificates (without requirement of
posting any bond), then such actions shall be treated
for purposes of this Section as delivery of such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate.
(ii) Mandatory Conversion. The
Corporation shall give written notice to each holder of
a share of Preferred not more than ten (10) days after
the occurrence of a Qualified Trading Event or the
receipt of the written consent required pursuant to
Section 1(d)(1)(ii)(B), as applicable. Following the
conversion of such shares, each holder of shares so
converted shall, if requested by the Corporation,
surrender the certificate therefor at the office of the
Corporation or any transfer agent for the applicable
Preferred. Upon such surrender, the Corporation shall
issue and deliver to each holder a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common to which
such holder is entitled. The conversion of shares of
Preferred shall be effective as of the occurrence of the
Qualified Trading Event or upon receipt of the written
consent provided in Section 1(d)(1)(ii)(B), as
applicable, whether or not the certificates representing
such shares of Preferred shall have been surrendered or
new certificates representing the shares of Common into
which such shares have been converted shall have been
issued. Any dividends or distributions declared but
unpaid at the time of a mandatory conversion with
respect to the Preferred so converted shall be paid upon
such mandatory conversion. If a stockholder notifies the
Corporation or its transfer agent in
10
writing that the stockholder's certificate has been
lost, stolen or destroyed, and executes an agreement in
a form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and
its transfer agent to indemnify them from any loss
incurred in connection with the lost, stolen or
destroyed certificates (without requirement of posting
any bond), then such actions shall be treated for
purposes of this Section as delivery of such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate.
(3) Adjustment of Conversion Prices.
The Series A Conversion Price, the Series B
Conversion Price, the Series C-1 Conversion Price, the
Series C-2 Conversion Price and the Series C-3
Conversion Price (each a "Conversion Price") and the
kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of any
share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series
C-1 Preferred, Series C-2 Preferred and Series C-3
Preferred (collectively, the "Convertible Preferred"),
shall be adjusted from time to time after the Filing
Date (as defined below) as follows:
(i) Subdivision or Combination
of Shares. If the Corporation at any time after the date
that this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation was filed with the New York Secretary of
State ("Filing Date") effects a subdivision or
combination of the outstanding Common, the Conversion
Price for each share of outstanding Convertible
Preferred shall be decreased, in the case of a
subdivision, or increased, in the case of a combination,
in the same proportions as the Common is subdivided or
combined, in each case effective automatically upon, and
simultaneously with, the effectiveness of the
subdivision or combination which gives rise to the
adjustment.
(ii) Stock Dividends. If the
Corporation at any time after the Filing Date pays a
dividend, or makes any other distribution, to holders of
Common payable in shares of Common, or fixes a record
date for the determination of holders of Common entitled
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
shares of Common, the Conversion Price for each share of
Convertible Preferred shall be decreased by multiplying
it by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Common outstanding
immediately prior to the time of payment of such
dividend or distribution; and (B) the
11
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares
of Common outstanding immediately after such dividend or
distribution, in each case effective automatically as of
the date the Corporation shall take a record of the
holders its Common for the purpose of receiving such
dividend or distribution (or if no such record is taken,
as of the effectiveness of such dividend or
distribution).
(iii) Reclassification,
Consolidation or Merger. If at any time after the Filing
Date, as a result of (a) a capital reorganization or
reclassification (other than a subdivision, combination
or dividend which gives rise to an adjustment of a
Conversion Price pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this
Section 1(d)(3)); or (b) a merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with another corporation (whether or not
the Corporation is the surviving corporation), the
Common issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible
Preferred shall be changed into or exchanged for the
same or a different number of shares of any class or
classes of stock of the Corporation or any other
corporation, or other securities convertible into such
shares, then, as a part of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger or consolidation, appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the terms of the
Convertible Preferred (or of any securities into which
the Convertible Preferred is changed or for which the
Convertible Preferred is exchanged), so that: (x) the
holders of Convertible Preferred or of such substitute
securities shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred or of such
substitute securities, the kind and amount of shares of
stock, other securities, money and property which such
holders would have received at the time of such capital
reorganization, reclassification, merger, or
consolidation, if such holders had converted their
Convertible Preferred immediately prior to such capital
reorganization, reclassification, merger, or
consolidation, and (y) the Convertible Preferred or such
substitute securities shall thereafter be adjusted on
terms as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments theretofore provided in this Section
1(d)(3). No consolidation or merger in which the
Corporation is not the surviving corporation shall be
consummated unless the surviving corporation shall
agree, in writing, to the provisions of this Section
1(d)(3)(iii). The provisions of this Section
1(d)(3)(iii) shall similarly apply to successive capital
reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, and
consolidations.
12
(iv) Adjustment upon Certain
Issuances.
(A) For purposes of this Section 1(d)(3)
(iv), "Additional Shares of Common" means all shares of
Common issued by the Corporation after the Filing Date
other than: (1) shares of Common issued in transactions
giving rise to adjustments under Sections 1(d)(3)(i),
(ii), or (iii) above; (2) shares of Common issued upon
conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred; (3)
shares of Common which may be issued in the discretion
of the Board to employees or directors of, or
consultants or advisors to, strategic partners of the
Corporation or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, and options or warrants or other rights for
the purchase of such shares; (4) options or warrants or
other rights outstanding as of the Filing Date or issued
under Section 1(d)(3)(iv)(3) above for the purchase of
such shares; (5) securities issued pursuant to any
anti-dilution rights of the Convertible Preferred or the
warrants outstanding as of the Filing Date; and (6)
shares of Common Stock issued in satisfaction of
interest on the Corporation's indebtedness for borrowed
money, provided the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable is calculated based on the average closing bid
and asked prices for the Common Stock for the twenty
(20) trading days preceding the interest payment.
(B) Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 1(d)(3)(iv) below, if at any time the
Corporation issues or is deemed to issue Additional
Shares of Common for a consideration per share less than
the Conversion Price in effect for a given share at such
issuance or deemed issuance:
(1) in the case of the Series A
Preferred, the Conversion Price shall be reduced for
such share to a price equal to a price determined by
dividing: (x) the aggregate consideration received by or
deemed to have been received by the Corporation upon
such issue, by: (y) the number of shares of Additional
Shares of Common issued or deemed to have been issued in
such issue; and
(2) in the case of the Series B
Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred, Series C-2 Preferred or
Series C-3 Preferred, the Conversion Price shall be
reduced
13
for such share to a price equal to a price determined by
dividing:
(x) the sum of (a) the product
derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
for such share immediately prior to such issue times the
number of shares of Common (on a fully-diluted basis)
outstanding immediately prior to such issue, plus (b)
the aggregate consideration received by or deemed to
have been received by the Corporation upon such issue;
by
(y) the sum of (a) the
number of shares of Common (on a fully-diluted basis)
outstanding immediately prior to such issue, plus (b)
the number of shares of Additional Shares of Common
issued or deemed to have been issued in such issue;
provided, that no adjustment pursuant to this Section
1(d)(3)(iv)(B)(2) shall be made in connection with any
issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of
Common for a consideration of at least the then
applicable Series A Conversion Price.
(v) Convertible Securities.
(A) "Convertible Securities" means
all rights or options for the purchase of, or stock or
other securities convertible into, Additional Shares of
Common or other Convertible Securities, whenever and
each time issued.
(B) The "Effective Price" with
respect to any Convertible Securities means the result
of dividing:
(1) the sum of (x) the
total consideration, if any, received by the Corporation
for the issuance of such Convertible Securities, plus
(y) the minimum consideration, if any, payable to the
Corporation upon exercise or conversion of such
Convertible Securities (assuming that the full amount of
securities issuable upon exercise or conversion are
issued), plus (z) the minimum consideration, if any,
payable to the Corporation upon exercise or conversion
of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of such Convertible Securities, by:
14
(2) the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common issuable upon exercise or
conversion of such Convertible Securities or of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(C) If at any time after the
Filing Date the Corporation issues or is deemed to issue
a Convertible Security with respect to which the
Effective Price is less than the Conversion Price for a
share of Convertible Preferred in effect at such
issuance or deemed issuance, the Conversion Price for
such share of Convertible Preferred shall be reduced to
the Effective Price.
(D) If Convertible
Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of
time or otherwise (including by operation of the
anti-dilution provisions thereof), for any increase or
decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation
or decrease or increase in the number of shares of
Common issuable upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof (or if any such change is made by
amending such Convertible Securities), the Conversion
Price computed upon the original issue thereof, and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any
such increase or decrease becoming effective, be
recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar
as it affects such the rights of conversion or exchange
under such Convertible Securities. No readjustment
pursuant to this clause (D) shall have the effect of
increasing the applicable Conversion Price in effect to
an amount which exceeds the lower of (1) the Conversion
Price immediately following, and as adjusted to reflect,
the Company's issuance of such Convertible Securities
(subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, combination or other
similar recapitalization affecting such shares), or (2)
the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any
issuances of Additional Shares of Common or Convertible
Securities between the date the Company adjusted the
Conversion Price to reflect the issuance of such
original Convertible Securities and such readjustment
date.
(E) If an adjustment has been made
under this Section 1(d)(3)(v) as a consequence of any
issuance of a Convertible Security, then no further
adjustment shall be made under Section 1(d)(3)(iv) above
15
upon the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common
upon the exercise or conversion of such Convertible
Securities, or upon the issuance of Convertible
Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of the
original Convertible Security.
(vi) Valuation of
Consideration. For purposes of the operation of Sections
1(d)(3)(iv) and (v) above, the consideration received by
the Corporation for any issue or sale of securities
shall:
(A) to the extent it
consists of cash, be computed as the aggregate net
amount of cash received by the Corporation;
(B) to the extent it
consists of property other than cash, be computed at the
fair value of that property as determined in good faith
by the Board in accordance with the terms of Section
1(c)(6) above; and
(C) to the extent
Additional Shares of Common or Convertible Securities
are issued or sold together with other stock or
securities or other assets of the Corporation for a
consideration that covers both, be such portion of the
consideration so received that may be reasonably
determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to
such Additional Shares of Common or Convertible
Securities.
(vii) Other Action Affecting
Common. If at any time the Corporation takes any action
affecting its Common which, in the opinion of the Board,
would have an adverse effect upon the Conversion Rights
of a given share of the Convertible Preferred, the
Conversion Price for such share and the kind of
securities issuable upon the conversion of such share
shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the
Board may in good faith determine to be equitable in the
circumstances.
(vii) Notice of Adjustments.
Whenever the Conversion Price or the kind of securities
issuable upon the conversion of any one of or all of the
Convertible Preferred shall be adjusted pursuant to
Section 1(d)(3)(i) - (v) or (vii) above, the Corporation
shall
16
make a certificate signed by its Chief Financial
Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the
adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by
which such adjustment was calculated (including a
description of the basis on which the Board made any
determination hereunder), and the Conversion Price and
the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of
such share(s) of the Convertible Preferred after giving
effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of
such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail
postage prepaid) to each holder of Convertible Preferred
promptly after each adjustment.
(4) Full Consideration. All shares of
Common which shall be issued upon the conversion of any
Convertible Preferred (which is itself fully paid and
non-assessable) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and
non-assessable. The Corporation will pay such amounts
and will take such other action as may be necessary from
time to time so that all shares of Common which shall be
issued upon the conversion of any Convertible Preferred
will, upon issuance and without cost to the recipient,
be free from all pre-emptive rights, taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(5) No Impairment. The Corporation will
not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but
will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
out of all the provisions of this Section 1(d) and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of
any holder of the Convertible Preferred against
impairment. The Corporation shall at all times when the
Convertible Preferred shall be outstanding, reserve and
keep available out of its authorized but unissued stock,
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
Convertible Preferred, such number of its duly
authorized shares of Common as shall from time to time
be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred.
17
(6) No Reissuance of Preferred. No share
of Preferred acquired by the Corporation upon
conversion, redemption or purchase shall be reissued and
all such shares shall be canceled, retired and
eliminated from the shares which the Corporation may be
authorized to issue. The Corporation shall take all such
corporate action necessary or appropriate to reduce the
authorized number of Preferred accordingly.
(7) Minimum Conversion Price.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value
of the shares of Common issuable upon conversion of the
shares of Convertible Preferred, the Corporation will
take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation
may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common at such adjusted
Conversion Price.
SECTION 2. COMMON STOCK
(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise
required by law or by this Certificate, each share of
Common shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on
each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of

liabilities of the Corporation and the preferential

of Preferred shall be entitled to receive upon

4. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended
heretofore, is hereby restated as further amended to read as herein set forth in
full:
FIRST: The name of the Corporation shall be HALSEY DRUG CO., INC.
SECOND: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act
or activity for which Corporations may be organized under the Business
Corporation Law of the State of New York; provided, however, that it is not
formed to engage in any act or activity requiring the consent or approval of any
state official, department, board, agency or any other body without such consent
or approval first being obtained.
THIRD: The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock, to
be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock". The total
number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 940,000,000 of
which (A) 290,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock (the "Preferred"), and (B)
650,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common"). Of the
Preferred, 45,000,000 shares shall be designated Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred"), 25,000,000 shares
shall be designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per
share (the "Series B Preferred"), 70,000,000 shares shall be designated Series
C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Series C-1
Preferred"), 50,000,000 shares shall be designated Series C-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Series C-2 Preferred") and
100,000,000 shares shall be designated Series C-3 Convertible Preferred Stock,
$.01 par value per share (the "Series C-3 Preferred"). The Series C-1 Preferred,
Series C-2 Preferred and Series C-3 Preferred are sometimes referred to
collectively as the "Series C Preferred". The rights, preferences and privileges
of and restrictions on the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred and Common are as follows:
SECTION 1. PREFERRED STOCK
(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law,
each share of outstanding Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C
Preferred shall entitle the record holder thereof to
21
vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation
and to have the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common
into which such share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred or Series C
Preferred, as the case may be, is then convertible pursuant to the provisions
hereof at the record date for the determination of stockholders 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 stockholders becomes effective. Except as
otherwise required by law or by this Certificate, the holders of shares of
Common, Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred shall vote
together and not as separate classes. Fractional votes shall not be permitted
and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula shall be
rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half rounded upwards).
(b) Dividends. If any dividend or other distribution
payable in cash, securities or other property is declared on the Common (other
than in connection with Section 1(c) below), each holder of shares of Preferred
on the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be entitled to
receive, on the date of payment or distribution of such dividend or other
distribution, the same cash, securities or other property which such holder
would have received on such record date if such holder was the holder of record
of the number of whole shares of Common into which the shares of Preferred then
held by such holder are then convertible (with any resulting fractions rounded
to the nearest whole share, with one-half rounded up).
(c) Liquidation Rights. If the Corporation shall be
voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated, dissolved or wound up (each, a
"Liquidation Event"):
(1) Prior and in preference to any payments or
distributions under Sections 1(c)(2), 1(c)(3) and 1(c)(4) below, the holder of
each then outstanding share of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive,
out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to
stockholders, and before any payment or declaration and setting apart for
payment of any amount or dividend pursuant to Sections 1(c)(2) or 1(c)(3) below
or with respect to the Common or any other junior equity security of the
Corporation, the amount (the "Series A Preference") equal to [$______] per share
[TO EQUAL THE PRODUCT OF (x) FIVE (5), MULTIPLIED BY (y) THE AVERAGE OF THE
CLOSING BID AND ASKED PRICES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK FOR THE TWENTY (20)
TRADING DAYS ENDING TWO (2) TRADING DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE
DEBENTURE AND SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AS SUCH PRICE MAY BE ADJUSTED PURSUANT
TO SECTION 3.4 OF THE FORM OF DEBENTURE] (such amount to be adjusted
proportionally in the event the Series A Preferred is subdivided into a greater
number or combined into a lesser number of shares). If the Corporation shall
have insufficient assets and funds to pay such amounts in full to the holders of
the Series A Preferred, then all assets and funds of the Corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the
Series A Preferred in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is
otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1(c)(1).
(2) After full payment of the distributions
under Section 1(c)(1) above, but prior and in preference to any payments or
distributions under Sections 1(c)(3) and 1(c)(4) below, the holder of each then
outstanding share of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the
assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to stockholders,
and before any payment or declaration and setting apart for payment of any
amount or dividend pursuant to Section 1(c)(3) below or with respect to the
Common or any other junior equity security of the Corporation, the amount (the
"Series B Preference") equal to $.3420 per share (such amount to be adjusted
proportionally in the
22
event the Series B Preferred is subdivided into a greater number or combined
into a lesser number of shares). If the Corporation shall have insufficient
assets and funds to pay such amounts in full to the holders of the Series B
Preferred (after payment in full of all amounts pursuant to Section 1(c)(1)
above), then all remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available
for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series B
Preferred in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1(c)(2).
(3) After full payment of the distributions
under Sections 1(c)(1) and 1(c)(2) above, but prior and in preference to any
payments or distributions under Section 1(c)(4) below, the holder of each then
outstanding share of Series C Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the
assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to stockholders,
and before any payment or declaration and setting apart for payment of any
amount or dividend with respect to the Common or any other junior equity
security of the Corporation, (i) in the case of Series C-1 Preferred, the amount
(the "Series C-1 Preference") equal to $.5776 per share, (ii) in the case of
Series C-2 Preferred, the amount (the "Series C-2 Preference") equal to $.5993
per share, and (iii) in the case of Series C-3 Preferred, the amount (the
"Series C-3 Preference") equal to $.3481 per share, (in each case such amount to
be adjusted proportionally in the event the Series C-1 Preferred, Series C-2
Preferred or Series C-3 Preferred, as applicable, is subdivided into a greater
number or combined into a lesser number of shares). If the Corporation shall
have insufficient assets and funds to pay such amounts in full to the holders of
the Series C Preferred (after payment in full of all amounts pursuant to
Sections 1(c)(1) and 1(c)(2) above), then all remaining assets and funds of the
Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably
among the holders of the Series C Preferred in proportion to the preferential
amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 1(c)(3).
(4) After full payment has been made to the
holders of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred of the
liquidation preferences in Sections 1(c)(1), 1(c)(2) and 1(c)(3), the entire
remaining assets and funds, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of Common and the Series A Preferred, in proportion to the number of
shares of Common held by them on an as-converted basis; provided, that for
purposes of calculating the distribution pursuant to this Section 1(c)(4), and
for no other purposes whatsoever, each share of Series A Preferred shall be
deemed to be convertible into only 30% of the shares of Common into which it is
convertible pursuant to the terms of Section 1(d) below.
(5) For purposes of this Section 1(c), unless
the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the
case may be) together as a single class, elect otherwise, (i) the consummation
of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction or series of related
transactions, the result of which is that the holders of the Corporation's
capital stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction own, immediately
upon the consummation of such transaction(s), shares of capital stock possessing
in the aggregate less than a majority of the voting power of the surviving
entity or rights to liquidation distributions of less than 50% of the assets of
the surviving entity, (ii) a sale, lease, exclusive license, transfer or other
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or
(iii) the sale of 50% or more of the Corporation's voting stock in one or more
series of transactions, shall (for purposes of the distribution of such
securities or other consideration to the holders of Common and Preferred) be
treated as a Liquidation Event and shall entitle the holders of Common and
Preferred to receive at closing in cash, securities or other property (valued as
provided
23
in Section 1(c)(6) below) as specified above and in the order of preference as
set forth in this Section 1(c).
(6) Whenever the distribution provided in this
Section 1(c) shall be payable in property other than cash, subject to the
provisions regarding valuation of securities set forth below, the value of such
distribution shall be its fair market value as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board"). The holders of a majority
of the Series A Preferred will have 10 days from the determination of the
valuation of any securities or other property pursuant this Section 1(c) to
object to such valuation in writing to the Corporation. In the event of such
objection, the Corporation and a majority in interest of the objecting
stockholders will in good faith seek a resolution of any disputed valuation. If
the Corporation and the objecting investors are unable to agree on a valuation
within 5 days of the objection by the holders of the Series A Preferred, the
valuation will be determined by an independent third party appraiser jointly
selected by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, whose written appraised value will be
binding on the Corporation and its stockholders. Any distributions pursuant to
this Section 1(c) will be delayed until after the delivery of the appraiser's
report. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
(i) Securities not subject to investment
letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (ii)
below:
(A) If traded on a securities exchange
or through the Nasdaq National Market or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on
such exchange over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the date of
determination;
(B) If actively traded
over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid
or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty-day period ending three
(3) days prior to the date of determination; and
(C) If there is no active public
market, the value shall be determined by an independent third party appraiser
jointly selected by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred.
(ii) The method of valuation of securities
subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other
than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an
affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to apply an appropriate discount
determined in good faith by the Board from the market value determined as above
in (A), (B) or (C).
(7) The Corporation shall promptly provide to
the holders of shares of Preferred such information concerning the terms of any
event or transaction specified in Section 1(c)(5) and the value of the assets of
the Corporation as may reasonably be determined by the Board. If the transaction
is a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the
Corporation will give written notice of such transaction to each holder of
Preferred not less than 20 or more than 60 days before the stockholders' meeting
called to approve the transaction or, if no stockholders' meeting will be
called, not less than 20 or more than 60 days before the date that the
transaction is reasonably anticipated to be consummated, and will also notify
the holders in writing of the final approval of the
24
transaction. The initial notice will describe the material terms and conditions
of the proposed transaction. The Corporation will give the holders of Preferred
prompt notice of any material changes to the terms of the proposed transaction.
The Corporation will not consummate the proposed transaction sooner than 20 days
after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes. By written
consent or vote, the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred
outstanding may shorten the notice periods provided in this Section. In the
event the requirements of this Section are not complied with, the Corporation
will either: (i) cause the closing to be postponed until the requirements of
this Section have been complied with; or (ii) cancel the transaction, in which
event the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the holders of the
Preferred will revert to the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
existing immediately before the date of the first notice referred to in this
Section.
(d) Conversion.
(1) Terms of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. The holder of
each share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred
shall have the right ("Conversion Right"), at such holder's option, to convert
such share at any time, without cost, on the terms of this Section 1(d) and at
the office of the Corporation or its transfer agent, into the number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common that results from dividing (A) in the
case of the Series A Preferred, the Series A Preference by the Series A
conversion price that is in effect at the time of conversion (the "Series A
Conversion Price"), (B) in the case of the Series B Preferred, the Series B
Preference by the Series B conversion price that is in effect at the time of
conversion (the "Series B Conversion Price"), (C) in the case of the Series C-1
Preferred, the Series C-1 Preference by the Series C-1 conversion price that is
in effect at the time of conversion (the "Series C-1 Conversion Price"), (D) in
the case of the Series C-2 Preferred, the Series C-2 Preference by the Series
C-2 conversion price that is in effect at the time of conversion (the "Series
C-2 Conversion Price") and (E) in the case of the Series C-3 Preferred, the
Series C-3 Preference by the Series C-3 conversion price that is in effect at
the time of conversion (the "Series C-3 Conversion Price"). The initial Series A
Conversion Price is equal to [$_____][TO EQUAL THE AVERAGE OF THE CLOSING BID
AND ASKED PRICES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK FOR THE TWENTY (20) TRADING DAYS
ENDING TWO (2) TRADING DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE DEBENTURE AND
SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AS SUCH PRICE MAY BE ADJUSTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.4
OF THE FORM OF DEBENTURE]. The initial Series B Conversion Price is equal to the
Series B Preference. The initial Series C-1 Conversion Price is equal to the
Series C-1 Preference. The initial Series C-2 Conversion Price is equal to the
Series C-2 Preference. The initial Series C-3 Conversion Price is equal to the
Series C-3 Preference. The Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion
Price, the Series C-1 Conversion Price, the Series C-2 Conversion Price and the
Series C-3 Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
provided in Section 1(d)(3) below.
(ii) Mandatory Conversion.
(A) Upon the occurrence of a
Qualified Trading Event, each share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred
and Series C Preferred shall be automatically converted, without cost and on the
terms of this Section 1(d), into the number of whole shares of Common into which
such share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred or Series C Preferred, as
the case me be, would be convertible under Section 1(d)(1)(i) above immediately
prior to such Qualified
25
Trading Event (with any resulting fractions rounded to the nearest whole share,
with one-half rounded up). "Qualified Trading Event" means the first such time
that (A) the Common has a closing price of at least $2.80 per share (subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares) for thirty
consecutive trading days, and (B) the average daily trading value of all shares
of Common traded during such thirty consecutive trading day period is at least
$1,750,000. For purposes of this test, (x) closing prices shall be determined as
the average between the closing bid and ask prices at the close of each trading
day (as reported by such exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common
may then be listed or admitted for trading), and (y) the trading value shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares so traded by such day's closing
price as determined above.
(B) Without limiting subsection (ii)(A)
above, each share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C
Preferred shall be automatically converted without cost and on the terms of this
Section 1(d), into the number of whole shares of Common into which such share of
Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred or Series C Preferred, as the case may
be, would be convertible under Section 1(d)(1)(i) above upon the receipt of the
written consent of the holders of at least 51% of the shares of Series A
Preferred.
(2) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. A holder of
any share of Convertible Preferred may exercise the Conversion Right of such
share by surrendering the certificate therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of
the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the applicable Preferred, together
with a written notice to the Corporation which shall state (A) that such holder
elects to convert the same, and (B) the number of shares of Preferred being
converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder of
such shares within two (2) business days a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common to which such holder shall be entitled. If the
certificate evidencing the Preferred being converted shall also evidence shares
of Preferred not being converted, then the Corporation shall also deliver to the
holder of such certificate within such two (2) business day period a new stock
certificate evidencing the Preferred not converted. The conversion of any shares
of Preferred shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of
business on the date that the shares to be converted are surrendered to the
Corporation, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder or holders of such shares of Common on such date. Any dividends or
distributions declared but unpaid at the time of conversion with respect to the
Preferred so converted shall be paid to the holder of Common issued upon
conversion of the Preferred. If a stockholder notifies the Corporation or its
transfer agent in writing that the stockholder's certificate has been lost,
stolen or destroyed, and executes an agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Corporation and its transfer agent to indemnify them from any loss
incurred in connection with the lost, stolen or destroyed certificates (without
requirement of posting any bond), then such actions shall be treated for
purposes of this Section as delivery of such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate.
(ii) Mandatory Conversion. The
Corporation shall give written notice to each holder of a share of Preferred not
more than ten (10) days after the occurrence of a Qualified Trading Event or the
receipt of the written consent required pursuant to Section 1(d)(1)(ii)(B), as
applicable. Following the conversion of such shares, each holder of shares so
converted shall, if requested by the Corporation, surrender the certificate
therefor at the office of the
26
Corporation or any transfer agent for the applicable Preferred. Upon such
surrender, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to each holder a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common to which such holder is
entitled. The conversion of shares of Preferred shall be effective as of the
occurrence of the Qualified Trading Event or upon receipt of the written consent
provided in Section 1(d)(1)(ii)(B), as applicable, whether or not the
certificates representing such shares of Preferred shall have been surrendered
or new certificates representing the shares of Common into which such shares
have been converted shall have been issued. Any dividends or distributions
declared but unpaid at the time of a mandatory conversion with respect to the
Preferred so converted shall be paid upon such mandatory conversion. If a
stockholder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent in writing that the
stockholder's certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, and executes an
agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and its transfer
agent to indemnify them from any loss incurred in connection with the lost,
stolen or destroyed certificates (without requirement of posting any bond), then
such actions shall be treated for purposes of this Section as delivery of such
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate.
(3) Adjustment of Conversion Prices.
The Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the
Series C-1 Conversion Price, the Series C-2 Conversion Price and the Series C-3
Conversion Price (each a "Conversion Price") and the kind of securities issuable
upon the conversion of any share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C-1 Preferred, Series C-2 Preferred and Series C-3 Preferred
(collectively, the "Convertible Preferred"), shall be adjusted from time to time
after the Filing Date (as defined below) as follows:
(i) Subdivision or Combination of
Shares. If the Corporation at any time after the date that this Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the New York Secretary of
State ("Filing Date") effects a subdivision or combination of the outstanding
Common, the Conversion Price for each share of outstanding Convertible Preferred
shall be decreased, in the case of a subdivision, or increased, in the case of a
combination, in the same proportions as the Common is subdivided or combined, in
each case effective automatically upon, and simultaneously with, the
effectiveness of the subdivision or combination which gives rise to the
adjustment.
(ii) Stock Dividends. If the Corporation
at any time after the Filing Date pays a dividend, or makes any other
distribution, to holders of Common payable in shares of Common, or fixes a
record date for the determination of holders of Common entitled to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common, the Conversion Price
for each share of Convertible Preferred shall be decreased by multiplying it by
a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Common outstanding immediately prior to the time of payment of such dividend or
distribution; and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of
shares of Common outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, in
each case effective automatically as of the date the Corporation shall take a
record of the holders its Common for the purpose of receiving such dividend or
distribution (or if no such record is taken, as of the effectiveness of such
dividend or distribution).
(iii) Reclassification, Consolidation or
Merger. If at any time after the Filing Date, as a result of (a) a capital
reorganization or reclassification (other than a subdivision,
27
combination or dividend which gives rise to an adjustment of a Conversion Price
pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 1(d)(3)); or (b) a merger or
consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation (whether or not the
Corporation is the surviving corporation), the Common issuable upon the
conversion of the Convertible Preferred shall be changed into or exchanged for
the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of the
Corporation or any other corporation, or other securities convertible into such
shares, then, as a part of such reorganization, reclassification, merger or
consolidation, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the terms of the
Convertible Preferred (or of any securities into which the Convertible Preferred
is changed or for which the Convertible Preferred is exchanged), so that: (x)
the holders of Convertible Preferred or of such substitute securities shall
thereafter be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred
or of such substitute securities, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other
securities, money and property which such holders would have received at the
time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, or consolidation,
if such holders had converted their Convertible Preferred immediately prior to
such capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, or consolidation, and (y)
the Convertible Preferred or such substitute securities shall thereafter be
adjusted on terms as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
theretofore provided in this Section 1(d)(3). No consolidation or merger in
which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation shall be consummated
unless the surviving corporation shall agree, in writing, to the provisions of
this Section 1(d)(3)(iii). The provisions of this Section 1(d)(3)(iii) shall
similarly apply to successive capital reorganizations, reclassifications,
mergers, and consolidations.
(iv) Adjustment upon Certain Issuances.
(A) For purposes of this Section
1(d)(3)(iv), "Additional Shares of Common" means all shares of Common issued by
the Corporation after the Filing Date other than: (1) shares of Common issued in
transactions giving rise to adjustments under Sections 1(d)(3)(i), (ii), or
(iii) above; (2) shares of Common issued upon conversion of shares of
Convertible Preferred; (3) shares of Common which may be issued in the
discretion of the Board to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors
to, strategic partners of the Corporation or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, and options or warrants or other rights for the purchase of such
shares; (4) options or warrants or other rights outstanding as of the Filing
Date or issued under Section 1(d)(3)(iv)(3) above for the purchase of such
shares; (5) securities issued pursuant to any anti-dilution rights of the
Convertible Preferred or the warrants outstanding as of the Filing Date; and (6)
shares of Common Stock issued in satisfaction of interest on the Corporation's
indebtedness for borrowed money, provided the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable is calculated based on the average closing bid and asked prices for the
Common Stock for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the interest payment.
(B) Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 1(d)(3)(iv) below, if at any time the Corporation issues or is
deemed to issue Additional Shares of Common for a consideration per share less
than the Conversion Price in effect for a given share at such issuance or deemed
issuance:
(1) in the case of the
Series A Preferred, the Conversion Price shall be reduced for such share to a
price equal to a price determined by dividing: (x) the aggregate consideration
received by or deemed to have been received by the
28
Corporation upon such issue, by: (y) the number of shares of Additional Shares
of Common issued or deemed to have been issued in such issue; and
(2) in the case of the
Series B Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred, Series C-2 Preferred or Series C-3
Preferred, the Conversion Price shall be reduced for such share to a price equal
to a price determined by dividing:
(x) the sum of (a)
the product derived by multiplying the
Conversion Price in effect for such share
immediately prior to such issue times the
number of shares of Common (on a
fully-diluted basis) outstanding immediately
prior to such issue, plus (b) the aggregate
consideration received by or deemed to have
been received by the Corporation upon such
issue; by
(y) the sum
of (a) the number of shares of Common (on a
fully-diluted basis) outstanding immediately
prior to such issue, plus (b) the number of
shares of Additional Shares of Common issued
or deemed to have been issued in such issue;
provided, that no adjustment pursuant to this Section 1(d)(3)(iv)(B)(2) shall be
made in connection with any issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of
Common for a consideration of at least the then applicable Series A Conversion
Price.
(v) Convertible Securities.
(A) "Convertible Securities"
means all rights or options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities
convertible into, Additional Shares of Common or other Convertible Securities,
whenever and each time issued.
(B) The "Effective Price" with
respect to any Convertible Securities means the result of dividing:
(1) the sum of (x) the
total consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of
such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum consideration, if any, payable
to the Corporation upon exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities
(assuming that the full amount of securities issuable upon exercise or
conversion are issued), plus (z) the minimum consideration, if any, payable to
the Corporation upon exercise or conversion of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities, by:
(2) the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common issuable upon exercise or conversion of such
Convertible Securities or of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise
or conversion of such Convertible Securities.
(C) If at any time after the
Filing Date the Corporation issues or is deemed to issue a Convertible Security
with respect to which the Effective Price is
29
less than the Conversion Price for a share of Convertible Preferred in effect at
such issuance or deemed issuance, the Conversion Price for such share of
Convertible Preferred shall be reduced to the Effective Price.
(D) If Convertible Securities by
their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise (including by
operation of the anti-dilution provisions thereof), for any increase or decrease
in the consideration payable to the Corporation or decrease or increase in the
number of shares of Common issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof (or if any such change is made by amending such Convertible Securities),
the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof, and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease
becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar
as it affects such the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible
Securities. No readjustment pursuant to this clause (D) shall have the effect of
increasing the applicable Conversion Price in effect to an amount which exceeds
the lower of (1) the Conversion Price immediately following, and as adjusted to
reflect, the Company's issuance of such Convertible Securities (subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares), or (2) the
Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional
Shares of Common or Convertible Securities between the date the Company adjusted
the Conversion Price to reflect the issuance of such original Convertible
Securities and such readjustment date.
(E) If an adjustment has been
made under this Section 1(d)(3)(v) as a consequence of any issuance of a
Convertible Security, then no further adjustment shall be made under Section
1(d)(3)(iv) above upon the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common upon
the exercise or conversion of such Convertible Securities, or upon the issuance
of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of the original
Convertible Security.
(vi) Valuation of Consideration. For
purposes of the operation of Sections 1(d)(3)(iv) and (v) above, the
consideration received by the Corporation for any issue or sale of securities
shall:
(A) to the extent it consists of
cash, be computed as the aggregate net amount of cash received by the
Corporation;
(B) to the extent it consists of
property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as
determined in good faith by the Board in accordance with the terms of Section
1(c)(6) above; and
(C) to the extent Additional
Shares of Common or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with
other stock or securities or other assets of the Corporation for a consideration
that covers both, be such portion of the consideration so received that may be
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such
Additional Shares of Common or Convertible Securities.
(vii) Other Action Affecting Common. If at
any time the Corporation takes any action affecting its Common which, in the
opinion of the Board, would
30
have an adverse effect upon the Conversion Rights of a given share of the
Convertible Preferred, the Conversion Price for such share and the kind of
securities issuable upon the conversion of such share shall be adjusted in such
manner and at such time as the Board may in good faith determine to be equitable
in the circumstances.
(vii) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the
Conversion Price or the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of any
one of or all of the Convertible Preferred shall be adjusted pursuant to Section
1(d)(3)(i) - (v) or (vii) above, the Corporation shall make a certificate signed
by its Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, setting forth,
in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the
adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a
description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder),
and the Conversion Price and the kind of securities issuable upon the conversion
of such share(s) of the Convertible Preferred after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first
class mail postage prepaid) to each holder of Convertible Preferred promptly
after each adjustment.
(4) Full Consideration. All shares of Common
which shall be issued upon the conversion of any Convertible Preferred (which is
itself fully paid and non-assessable) will, upon issuance, be fully paid and
non-assessable. The Corporation will pay such amounts and will take such other
action as may be necessary from time to time so that all shares of Common which
shall be issued upon the conversion of any Convertible Preferred will, upon
issuance and without cost to the recipient, be free from all pre-emptive rights,
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(5) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by
amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through
any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 1(d) and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the Conversion Rights of any holder of the Convertible Preferred against
impairment. The Corporation shall at all times when the Convertible Preferred
shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Convertible
Preferred, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common as shall from
time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred.
(6) No Reissuance of Preferred. No share of
Preferred acquired by the Corporation upon conversion, redemption or purchase
shall be reissued and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated
from the shares which the Corporation may be authorized to issue. The
Corporation shall take all such corporate action necessary or appropriate to
reduce the authorized number of Preferred accordingly.
(7) Minimum Conversion Price. Before taking any
action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the
then par value of the shares of Common issuable upon conversion of the shares of
Convertible Preferred, the Corporation
31
will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common at such adjusted Conversion Price.
SECTION 2. COMMON STOCK
(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or
by this Certificate, each share of Common shall entitle the holder thereof to
one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation, and the holders of shares of Common, Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred and Series C Preferred shall vote together and not as separate
classes.
(b) Dividend Rights. Subject to the dividend rights of
the holders of the Preferred set forth in Sections 1(b) and 1(c) above, the
holders of the Common shall be entitled to receive, as, when and if declared by
the Board, but only out of funds legally available therefor, cash dividends in
such amounts as the Board may determine.
(c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary,
after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the
Corporation and the preferential amounts to which the holders of any outstanding
shares of Preferred shall be entitled to receive upon dissolution, liquidation,
or winding up, the holders of the Common shall be entitled to share on a share
for share basis in the remaining assets of the Corporation (together with the
holders of Series A Preferred as set forth in Section 1(c)(4) above).
(d) Residual Rights. All rights accruing to the
outstanding shares of the Corporation not otherwise expressly provided for
herein shall be vested in the Common.

adopted vote or resolution of the Board of Directors, no stockholder shall have
any preemptive rights to subscribe to any issue of stock of the Corporation
whether now or hereafter authorized or to any issue of any obligations of the
Corporation convertible into stock of the Corporation, or to any issue of
warrants for the issuance of or options for
32
the purchase of stock of the Corporation, for whatever consideration the same
may be issued, whether or not such issue of stock, obligations, warrants or
options are offered to any other holders of stock or obligations of the

more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other
corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or
more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial
interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because
the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the
Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or
transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose,
if: (1) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the
contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or
the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes
the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the
disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a
quorum; or (2) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to
the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders
entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically
approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (3) the contract or
transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized,
approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the
stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the
presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee
which authorizes the contract or transaction.
NINTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent possible permitted
by Sections 721 through 726 of the Business Corporation Law of New York,
indemnify any and all directors and officers whom it shall have the power to
indemnify under said sections from and against any and all of the expenses,
liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by such sections of the
Business Corporation Law, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the person so indemnified may
be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in his/her official capacity and as to
action in another capacity by holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
TENTH: A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to
the Corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty as a
director; provided that, except as hereinafter provided, this Article TENTH
shall neither eliminate nor limit liability: (a) if a judgment or final
adjudication adverse to the director establishes that (i) the director's acts or
omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (ii) the director personally gained in fact a financial profit
or other advantage to which the director was not legally entitled, or (iii) the
director's acts violated Section 719 of the New York Business Corporation Law;
or (b) for any act or omission prior to the effectiveness of this Article TENTH.
If the Corporation hereafter may by law be permitted to further eliminate or
limit the personal liability of directors, then pursuant hereto the liability of
a director of the Corporation shall, at such time, automatically be further
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any repeal of or
modification to the provisions of this Article TENTH shall not adversely affect
any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing pursuant to
this Article TENTH immediately prior to such repeal or modification.
33
