its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such a number of shares

the Purchased Shares with no notice thereof, other than any liens or

state and/or federal securities laws.

held by each such holder until each such holder has received its Series A
Preferential Dividend in full.

($0.40) per share (the "Series B to Common Stock Liquidation Price"), as if all
Series A Preferred Stock, and all Series B Preferred Stock, and all Series C
Stock had been converted into Common Stock as of the date of the Liquidation
Event.
e. PARTIAL PAYMENT. If, upon a Liquidation
Event, the assets of this Corporation available for distribution to its
shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the full Liquidation Prices required
to be paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, the
holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock, the holders of the
outstanding shares of Series C stock and the holders of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, then all of the assets of this Corporation legally available
for distribution to the holders of equity securities shall be distributed
ratably: first, among the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock
based upon the Series B Liquidation Price until payment in full of the Series B
Liquidation Price on all Series B Stock; next, ratably to the holders of the
outstanding shares of Series C Stock based upon the Series C Liquidation Price
until payment in full of the Series C Liquidation Price on all Series C Stock;
next, ratably to the holders of Series B Stock, Series A Stock, and Common Stock
based upon an as converted to Common Stock basis, the payment in full of the
Series B to Common Stock Liquidation Price; and then ratably among the holders
of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock until payment in full of their
Series A Liquidation Price on all Series A Stock.
f. AFTER PAYMENT OF PREFERRED LIQUIDATION
PRICES. After the holders of record of the Series A Stock, Series B Stock,
Series C Stock and Common Stock have been paid their Series A Liquidation Price,
Series B to Common Stock Liquidation Price, Series B Liquidation Price, and
Series C Liquidation Price, as applicable, in full, then the remaining assets of
this Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock,
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
in an equal amount per share as if all Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock had been converted into Common
Stock as of the date of the Liquidation Event.
g. LIQUIDATION ADJUSTMENT. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the amount to be paid for each share of Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock upon a
Liquidation Event shall be appropriately adjusted for any combination(s), stock
split(s), stock distribution(s) or dividend(s) with respect to such shares.
31
3. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section D.2 (above), the following shall be deemed to be a
Liquidation Event within the meaning of this Section D with respect to the
Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock and Common Stock: (A) a sale of
all or substantially all of this Corporation's assets; or (B) a consolidation,
merger or reorganization of this Corporation with or into any other corporation
or corporations, unless such event results in the Common Stock equivalent value
of this Corporation's stock as a result of such event and determined as if all
Series A Stock, all Series B Stock and all Series C Stock had converted to
Common Stock, is One Dollar ($1.00), or more, per share (adjusted for stock
split(s), combination(s), reclassification(s), and the like).
4. CONSENT TO CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Each holder of
outstanding shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock shall,
by virtue of its acceptance of a stock certificate evidencing such shares, be
treated as having consented to distributions made, or to be made, by this
Corporation for the repurchase of shares of Common Stock from directors or
employees of, or consultants or advisers to, this Corporation upon the
termination of employment by, or service to, this Corporation or any subsidiary
of this Corporation or otherwise, if such repurchase is made in accordance with
an agreement approved by this Corporation's Board of Directors authorizing the
right of said repurchase.
E. VOTING. The holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall each have one (1) vote per each share of Common Stock owned by such
stockholder. The holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast
that number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and
Series C Preferred Stock are convertible immediately after the close of business
on the record date fixed for such meeting or, if no such record date is
established, the date such vote is taken or the effective date of such written
consent. The holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock, voting as a
single class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) Director to the Board of
Directors.
F. CONVERSION. The holders of the outstanding shares of Series A
Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock shall have the conversion rights set
forth below (the "Conversion Rights"):
1. SERIES A STOCK CONVERSION RIGHTS. Each share of
Series A Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any
time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this Corporation
or any transfer agent for the shares of Series A Stock, or Common Stock, into
that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock which is
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) Five Dollars and Forty Cents
($5.40), by (B) the Series A Conversion Price, immediately prior to the time of
such conversion. The "Series A Conversion Price" shall initially be Two Dollars
and Seventy Cents ($2.70) (as adjusted from time to time as hereinafter
provided).
2. SERIES B STOCK CONVERSION RIGHTS. Each share of
Series B Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any
time after the date of issuance of such shares, at the office of this
Corporation or any transfer agent for the shares of Series B Stock, or Common
32
Stock, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) One Dollar ($1.00), by
(B) the Series B Conversion Price, immediately prior to the time of such
conversion. The "Series B Conversion Price" shall initially be One Dollar
($1.00) (as adjusted from time to time as hereinafter provided).
3. SERIES C STOCK CONVERSION RIGHTS. Each share of
Series C Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any
time after the date of issuance of such shares, at the office of this
Corporation or any transfer agent for the shares of Series C Stock, or Common
Stock, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 54/100ths Dollars ($0.54) by
(B) the Series C Conversion Price, immediately prior to the time of such
conversion. The "Series C Conversion Price" shall initially be 54/100ths Dollars
($0.54) (as adjusted from time to time as hereinafter provided).
4. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION.
a. PREFERRED STOCK. Each outstanding share of
Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock shall automatically be
converted into shares of Common Stock based upon their respective Conversion
Prices upon (i) the closing of an underwritten public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
covering the offering and sale of shares of Common Stock for the account of this
Corporation (other than a registration statement effected solely to implement an
employee benefit plan, a transaction in which Rule 145 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission is applicable or any other form or type of registration in
which the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of
Series A Stock or Series B Stock or Series C Stock cannot be included pursuant
to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules or practices) resulting in
aggregate proceeds to this Corporation (before the payment of underwriting
discounts and commissions and the expense of the offering) in excess of Twelve
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000) with a Common Stock per
share purchase price of at least One Dollar ($1.00), or (ii) a merger or
consolidation with or into another corporation or a sale of all the shares of
Common Stock or a sale of all or substantially all of this Corporation's
properties and assets in which the Common Stock equivalent value of this
Corporation's stock as a result of such event and determined as if all Series A
Stock, all Series B Stock and all Series C Stock had converted to Common Stock,
is One Dollar ($1.00), or more, per share (adjusted for stock split(s),
combination(s), reclassification(s), and the like).
b. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION MECHANICS. Upon the
occurrence of any event specified in Section F.4.a (above), the outstanding
shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock shall be converted
into shares of Common Stock, whether or not the certificates representing such
shares are surrendered to this Corporation or its transfer agent; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that this Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates
evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the
certificates evidencing such shares are either delivered to this Corporation or
its transfer agent as provided below or the holder notifies this Corporation or
its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and executes an agreement satisfactory to this Corporation indemnifying this
Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with the issuance of such
certificate. Upon the occurrence of such
33
automatic conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, Series B
Stock and Series C Stock, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A
Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock shall surrender the certificates
representing such shares at the office of this Corporation or to any transfer
agent for the shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock, Series C Stock or
Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder,
promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered
certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the surrendered shares of Series A Stock,
Series B Stock and Series C Stock of such holder were convertible on the date
on which such automatic conversion occurred, and this Corporation shall
promptly pay in cash all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of
Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock so converted.
5. MECHANICS OF NON-AUTOMATIC CONVERSION. Each holder of
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall convert, or at the option of the
holders of Preferred Stock, by surrendering the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock and shall give written
notice to this Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the
same and shall state therein the number of shares of Preferred Stock being
converted. Thereupon, this Corporation shall issue and deliver at such office to
such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such holder is entitled and shall promptly pay all declared but
unpaid dividends on the shares being converted in cash or, if this Corporation
so elects or is legally or financially unable to pay in cash, shares of Common
Stock (valued at the Common Stock's fair market value at the time of surrender
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), subject to the
limitations on the payment of accrued dividends as set forth in Section D.1
(above). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to
the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or
certificates representing the shares to be converted, and the person entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on
such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of
securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A Stock or Series B
Stock or Series C Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the
underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event
the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
of the Series A Stock or Series B Stock or Series C Stock shall not be deemed to
have converted such Series A Stock or Series B Stock or Series C Stock until
immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
6. ADJUSTMENTS TO SERIES A, SERIES B AND SERIES C
CONVERSION PRICE.
A. ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLITS AND
COMBINATIONS. If this Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
date this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State (the "Filing Date") effects a division of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B
Conversion Price and the Series C
34
Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased and, conversely, if this
Corporation at any time, or from time to time, after the Filing Date combines
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price, the
Series B Conversion Price and Series C Conversion Price shall be
proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section F.6.a shall be
effective on the close of business on the date such division or combination
becomes effective.
b. ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS. If this Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
Filing Date pays or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of
shares of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution in
the form of shares of Common Stock, or rights or options for the purchase of, or
securities convertible into, Common Stock, then in each such event the Series A
Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion
Price shall be decreased, as of the time of such payment or, in the event a
record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by
multiplying the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the
Series C Conversion Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time
of such payment or the close of business on such record date and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be (A) the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such payment or the close of
business on such record date plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution or upon exercise of such
option or right of conversion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a record date is fixed
and such dividend is not fully paid or such other distribution is not fully made
on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Price, the Series B
Conversion Price, and the Series C Conversion Price shall not be decreased as of
the close of business on such record date as hereinabove provided as to the
portion not fully paid or distributed and thereafter the Series A Conversion
Price, the Series B Conversion Price and the Series C Conversion Price shall be
decreased pursuant to this Section F.6.b as of the date or dates of actual
payment of such dividend or distribution.
c. ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS. If this Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
Filing Date pays, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of
shares of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution in
the form of securities of this Corporation other than shares of Common Stock or
rights or options for the purchase of, or securities convertible into, Common
Stock, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of
the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, the holders of the outstanding shares
of Series B Stock and the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock
shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of
Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of this Corporation
which they would have received had their respective shares of Series A Stock,
Series B Stock and Series C Stock been converted into shares of Common Stock on
the date of such event and had such holders thereafter, from the date of such
event to and including the actual date of conversion of their shares, retained
such securities, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period
under this Section F with respect to the rights of the holders of the
outstanding shares of Series A Stock, the holders of the outstanding shares of
Series B Stock and the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock.
d. ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE
AND SUBSTITUTION. If, at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date,
the number of shares of Common Stock
35
issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and
Series C Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of
any other class or classes of stock or other securities, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a
recapitalization, division or combination of shares or stock dividend or a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for
elsewhere in this Section F), then, in any such event, each holder of
outstanding shares of Series A Stock, each holder of outstanding shares of
Series B Stock and each holder of the outstanding shares of Series C Stock
shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Series A Stock,
Series B Stock and Series C Stock into the same kind and amount of stock and
other securities receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or
other change, as the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such
shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock could have been
converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or
change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
e. REORGANIZATIONS, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR
SALES OF ASSETS. If, at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date,
there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a
recapitalization, division, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares
provided for elsewhere in this Section F) or a merger or consolidation of this
Corporation into or with another corporation or a sale of all or substantially
all of this Corporation's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a
part of such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision
shall be made so that the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock,
the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Stock and the holders of the
outstanding shares of Series C Stock shall thereafter receive upon conversion
thereof the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this
Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or
consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
into which their shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock
were convertible would have been entitled on such capital reorganization,
merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions of this Section F with respect to the
rights of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, Series B
Stock and Series C Stock after the capital reorganization, merger,
consolidation, or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section F
(including adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion
Price, and Series C Conversion Price and the number of shares into which the
shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock may be converted)
shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent to such
Conversion Prices and number of shares as may be practicable.
f. SALE OF SHARES BELOW CONVERSION PRICE.
(i) If, at any time or from time to
time after the Filing Date, this Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by
the express provisions of this Section f. to have issued or sold, Additional
Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) for an Effective Price (as
hereinafter defined) less than the then current Series C Conversion Price, other
than (A) as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as provided
in Section F.6.b. above or (B) upon a division or combination of shares of
Common Stock as provided in Section F.6.a. above, then, in any such event, the
Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the close of business on the
36
date of such issuance or sale, to an amount determined by multiplying the Series
C Conversion Price by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the date of such issuance or sale, plus (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (or by the
express provisions hereof deemed to have been received) by this Corporation for
the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would
purchase at such Series C Conversion Price and (B) the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of
business on the date of such issuance or sale after giving effect to such
issuance or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock. For the purpose of the
calculation described in this Section f., the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding shall include, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
actually outstanding, (A) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
then outstanding shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock
could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the
issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Additional Shares of Common
Stock; and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which would be obtained
through the exercise or conversion of all rights, options and Convertible
Securities (as hereinafter defined) outstanding on the day immediately preceding
the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(ii) For the purpose of making any
adjustment required under this Section f., the consideration received by this
Corporation for any issuance or sale of securities shall (A) to the extent it
consists of property other than cash, be the fair value of that property as
reasonably determined in good faith by a disinterested majority of the Board of
Directors; and (B) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities
(as hereinafter defined) or rights or options to purchase either Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together
with other stock or securities or other assets of this Corporation for a
consideration which covers both, be the portion of the consideration so received
reasonably determined in good faith by a disinterested majority of the Board of
Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities or rights or options.
(iii) For the purpose of the adjustment
required under this Section f., if this Corporation issues or sells any rights
or options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities convertible into,
Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being
hereinafter referred to as "Convertible Securities") and if the Effective Price
(as defined in Clause (v) below) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is
less than the then current Series C Conversion Price, this Corporation shall be
deemed to have issued, at the time of the issuance of such rights, options or
Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as
consideration therefor an amount equal to (A) the total amount of the
consideration, if any, received by this Corporation for the issuance of such
rights or options or Convertible Securities plus (B) in the case of such rights
or options, the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to this
Corporation upon the exercise of such rights or options or, in the case of
Convertible Securities, the minimum amount of consideration, if any, payable to
this Corporation upon the conversion thereof. Thereafter, no further adjustment
of the Series C Conversion Price shall be made as a result of the actual
issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights
or options
37
or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or
options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible
Securities shall expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised,
the Series C Conversion Price shall thereafter be the Series C Conversion
Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the
basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the
Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the
exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such
Convertible Securities, and were issued or sold for the consideration
actually received by this Corporation upon such exercise plus (A) the
consideration, if any, actually received for the granting of all such rights
or options, whether or not exercised, (B) the consideration, if any, actually
received by issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted
and (C) the consideration, if any, actually received on the conversion of
such Convertible Securities. However, if any such rights or options or
Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or
otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the Corporation,
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price for
the Series C Stock, 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 rights, options or the
rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities.
(iv) For the purpose of any adjustment
required under this Section F.6.f., if (a) this Corporation issues or sells any
rights or options for the purchase of Convertible Securities and (b) if the
Effective Price of the Additional Shares of Common Stock underlying such
Convertible Securities is less than the Series C Conversion Price, then in each
such event this Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the
issuance of such rights or options the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the total number of Convertible
Securities covered by such rights or options (as set forth in the legal
instruments setting forth the terms of such Convertible Securities) and to have
received as consideration for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock an amount equal to the amount of consideration, if any, received for the
issuance of such rights or options plus (A) the minimum amount of consideration,
if any, payable upon the exercise of such rights or options and (B) the minimum
amount of consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion of such Convertible
Securities. No further adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price shall be made
as a result of the actual issuance of the Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such rights or options or upon the actual issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of such Convertible Securities. The
provisions of Section F.6.f.(iii) for the adjustment of the Series C Conversion
Price upon the expiration of rights or options or the rights of conversion of
Convertible Securities shall apply mutatis mutandis upon the expiration of the
rights, options and Convertible Securities referred to in this Clause F.6.f(iv).
(v) "Additional Shares of Common Stock"
shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued under this
Section D.8 after the Filing Date, other than (A) shares of Common Stock issued
upon conversion of the shares of Series A, or Series B or Series C Stock; (B)
any shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or
issued at the then fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors
hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or
advisers to, the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant
38
to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses
or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved by the
Board of Directors; (C) securities issued by the Corporation in connection
with any credit agreements or similar instruments with equipment lessors or
commercial lenders; (D) securities issued in connection with or pursuant to
the acquisition of all or any portion of another company by the Company
whether by merger or any other reorganization or by the purchase of all or
any portion of the assets of another company, pursuant to a plan, agreement
or other arrangement approved by the Board of Directors; (E) shares of Common
Stock or Preferred Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any
warrants, options or other rights that are outstanding as of the Filing Date
(or issued or issuable after the reissuance of any such expired or terminated
options, warrants or rights and net of any such issued shares repurchased by
the Corporation); (F) the reissuance or assignment by the Corporation of any
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Filing Date to a different
person from the holder of such shares and (G) shares of Common Stock issued
by way of dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock excluded
from the definition of Additional Shares of Common Stock by the foregoing
clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and this clause (G). The "Effective
Price" of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient obtained
by dividing the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or
sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold, under this Section f. into the
aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received for such
Additional Shares of Common Stock.
g. CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon the
occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price
or Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, this Corporation, at
its sole expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of
Series A Stock or Series B Stock or Series C Stock, as applicable, a certificate
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This Corporation shall,
upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Stock or Series B
Stock or Series C Stock furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like
certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the
applicable Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the
time would be received upon the conversion of Series A Stock or Series B Stock
or Series C Stock, as the case may be.
h. NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of (i)
any taking by this Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of
securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any capital
reorganization of this Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of
the capital stock of this Corporation, any merger or consolidation of this
Corporation with or into any other corporation, or any transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of this Corporation, or any voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of this Corporation, this
Corporation shall mail to each holder of shares of Series A Stock, Series B
Stock and Series C Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date
specified therein, a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description
of such dividend or distribution; (ii) the date on which any such
reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
39
merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
effective and the specific details thereof; and (iii) the date, if any, that
is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock
(or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
i. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Series A Stock or
Series B Stock or Series C Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which the
holder of such shares would otherwise be entitled, this Corporation shall pay
cash equal to the product of (a) such fraction multiplied by (b) the fair market
value of one share of the Common Stock on the date of conversion. The fair
market value shall be determined by the average trading price of the Common
Stock over the past five (5) trading days, if such a price is available,
otherwise it shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
j. RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
CONVERSION. This Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Stock, Series B Stock and
Series C Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time
be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A
Stock, Series B Stock and Series C Stock; and if at any time the number of
authorized, but unissued, shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of the Series A Stock or
the Series B Stock or the Series C Stock, in addition to such other remedies as
shall be available to the holder of such stock, this Corporation will take such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized, but unissued, shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient for such purposes, without the necessity of any stockholder
vote or approval.
k. NOTICES. Any notice required by the
provisions of this Section F to be given to a holder of shares of Series A Stock
or Series B Stock or Series C Stock, shall be deemed given upon the earlier of
actual receipt or seventy-two (72) hours after the same has been deposited in
the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the holder at the address of such holder appearing
on the books of this Corporation.
G. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS.
1. CORPORATE ACTION. Except as otherwise required by
law, so long as at least six hundred eighty thousand (680,000) shares of Series
A Stock remain outstanding (adjusted for stock split(s),combination(s),

eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability
of a director of this Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any
repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of this

V
A. INDEMNIFICATION.
1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is
made a party, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative ("Proceeding"), including, without limitation, Proceedings by or
in the right of this Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason
of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal
representative, is or was a director or officer, employee or agent of this
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as a
director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with
respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such Proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or
agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee
or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by this Corporation to the
fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of
any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits this Corporation
to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted this
Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability
and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amount paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or
suffered by such person in connection therewith. Such right shall be a contract
right and shall include the right to be paid by this Corporation for expenses
incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer of this Corporation in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and
not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person
while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding,
shall be made only upon delivery to this Corporation of an undertaking, by or on
behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
should
43
be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be
indemnified under this section, or otherwise.
2. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a claim under
Section 1 (above) is not paid in full by this Corporation within ninety (90)
days after a written claim has been received by this Corporation, the claimant
may at any time thereafter bring suit against this Corporation to recover the
unpaid amount of the claim, and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant
shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It
shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a
claim for expenses incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to this
Corporation), that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for
this Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the
burden of proving such defense shall be on this Corporation. Neither the failure
of this Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in
the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual
determination by this Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that claimant had not met the applicable standard of conduct.
B. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred by Section A.1
and A.2 (above) shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may
have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.
C. AMENDMENT OR REPEAL. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this
Article V, nor the adoption of any provision of this Corporation's Certificate
of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article V, shall eliminate or reduce the
effect of this Article V, in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or
Proceeding accruing or arising, or that, but for this Article V would accrue or
arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
VI
A. DIRECTORS' POWERS. The Directors of this Corporation shall
have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of this Corporation. The
management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of this Corporation
shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall
constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by, or in the
manner provided in, the Bylaws of this Corporation or this Certificate of
Incorporation.

shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or under
his or her death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent
director.

vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less
than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Newly created directorships resulting
from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of

shall be filled by the stockholders, be filled only by the affirmative vote of
the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of
Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall
hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in
which the
45
new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such
director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.

conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make,

the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the

Offering, no action shall be taken by the stockholders of this Corporation,
except at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called in accordance
with the Bylaws. Effective upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, the
Stockholders shall not take any action by written consent. Until the closing of
a Qualified Public Offering, shareholder actions shall be governed by this
Certificate of Incorporation and this Corporation's Bylaws.
E. STOCKHOLDER NOMINATION. Advance notice of stockholder
nomination for the election of directors and of business to be brought by
stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of this Corporation shall be
given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of this Corporation.
