Senior Debt of the Corporation. "Senior Debt" means indebtedness of the
Corporation for borrowed money, but does not include indebtedness of
Subsidiaries of the Corporation for borrowed money for which the Corporation is
not also obligated.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designation is executed on
behalf of the Corporation this 19th day of December, 2002.

Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.
All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of
preferred stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth
herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation, including any Certificate of
Designations creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock, or as
otherwise required by law.
Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs
of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have
a right prior to the payment of any amount to any class of preferred stock of
the Corporation junior to the Series E Preferred Stock, and on a pro rata basis
with any preferred stock of the Corporation on parity with (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) the Series E Preferred
Stock, to be paid for each share an amount (the "Liquidation Preference") equal
to $0.01. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay the full
amount of the Liquidation Preference to all holders of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock, the assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of
shares of Series E Preferred Stock according to the number of shares held by
each. After payment in full of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of
shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation
shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock,
-13-
Common Stock and other securities junior to the Series E Preferred Stock, as set
forth elsewhere in the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 7. Mandatory Conversion.
(a) All shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall become,
automatically, without any action by the holders thereof, shares of Common Stock
(the "Conversion") immediately upon the Corporation having a sufficient number
of authorized and unissued and not otherwise issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding warrants or options or upon conversion of other securities (other
than conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock) shares of Common Stock
sufficient to convert all shares of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of
Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio. For the purposes hereof, the "Exchange
Ratio" shall mean the issuance of 11,000 shares of Common Stock for each share
of Series E Preferred Stock.
(b) Within two days following the date on which the Corporation has
a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to convert all shares
of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the Exchange
Ratio, the Secretary of the Corporation will certify to such in the minutes of
the Corporation (the "Certification"). Effective immediately upon the
Certification, all shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
deemed converted to shares of Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio. Within
two days following the Certification and simultaneous Conversion, the
Corporation shall issue a letter to all holders of the Series E Preferred Stock
notifying such holders that the Series E Preferred Stock has been converted into
Common Stock and the date of the Conversion.
(c) Immediately upon the Conversion, all stock certificates
representing ownership of Series E Preferred Stock shall be deemed to represent
ownership in Common Stock, with the number of shares of Common Stock thereby
represented to be determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Following
the Conversion, holders of Series E Preferred Stock may, but are not required
to, submit certificates representing ownership in Series E Preferred Stock for
certificates representing ownership in Common Stock. Upon the Conversion, no
shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding.
Section 8. No Right of Redemption. Holders of the Series E
Preferred Stock shall have no right whatsoever to cause the Corporation to
redeem all or any number of the outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred
Stock at any time. The Corporation shall have no right whatsoever to redeem all
or any number of the outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at any
time.
Section 9. Anti-Dilution Adjustment. In the event that the
Corporation shall at any time or from time to time, after the issuance of shares
of Series E Preferred Stock but prior to the Conversion, (w) make a dividend or
distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in Capital Stock,
(x) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (y) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares or (z) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of
the Common Stock (an "Event"), then, and in each such case, (I) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock which the holder would be entitled to receive
upon the Conversion, (II) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed held for
each share of Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of Section 2
-14-
and (III) the number of votes per share of Series E Preferred Stock for purposes
of Section 3 shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken
by the Corporation) so that such holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to (X) receive upon Conversion the appropriate number of shares of
Common Stock, (Y) the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock deemed held
for purposes of Section 2 consistent with the determination made in clause (I),
and (Z) the appropriate number of votes per share of Series E Preferred Stock
for purposes of Section 3 consistent with the determination made in clause (I),
which in each case shall reflect the occurrence of the Event. An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 9 shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case
of any such dividend or distribution, to a date immediately following the close
of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of
Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the
case of any such subdivision, combination or reclassification, to the close of
business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
Section 10. Definitions.

Person, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights in, or other
equivalent (however designated and whether voting or non-voting) of such
Person's capital stock and any and all rights, warrants or options exchangeable
for or convertible into such capital stock (but excluding any debt security

stock or other interests entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any
contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof
and to vote on matters generally submitted to a vote of equity holders is at the
time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the second Person or by one
