DESIGNATION AND RANK. The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall be the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK"). The maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be 1,200,000 shares. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu as to liquidation rights and other matters to the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"). The Series B Preferred Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter outstanding. 2. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. If declared by the Company, dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock and all other equity securities of the Company ranking pari passu with the Common Stock as to the payment of dividends. (a) In the event of a conversion pursuant to SECTION 5(A) hereof, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock being converted shall be, at the option of the Company, either payable in cash on the Conversion Date (as defined in SECTION 5(A)(II)(1) hereof), or converted into additional shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion Price (as defined below). 1 3. VOTING RIGHTS. (a) GENERAL VOTING RIGHTS. Except with respect to matters or transactions upon which the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote pursuant to this SECTION 3 and as otherwise required by Delaware law and in SECTION 7 hereof, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. The Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. (b) CLASS VOTING RIGHTS. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following class voting rights (in addition to the voting rights set forth in SECTION 3(A) hereof). So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting at which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote separately as a class: (i) authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of stock, including but not limited to the issuance of any more shares of Preferred Stock, ranking pari passu or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to (A) dividends or Distributions (as defined below) or (B) the Distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock; (iii) repurchase, redeem or pay dividends on, shares of Common Stock or any other shares of the Company's stock ranking pari passu with the Common Stock (other than DE MINIMUS repurchases from employees of the Company, and any contractual redemption obligations existing as of the date hereof as disclosed in the Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission); (iv) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company so as to affect materially and adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock; (v) reclassify the Company's outstanding securities; (vi) voluntarily file for bankruptcy, liquidate the Company's assets or make an assignment for the benefit of the Company's creditors; or (vii) materially change the nature of the Company's business. (c) APPROVAL OF ACQUISITIONS. So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not effect, or agree to effect, an acquisition by or buy out from any non-affiliated entity, or a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations (or other entity or entities), or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company is disposed of or conveyed, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting at which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote separately as a class. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit the Company's ability to issue securities to purchase assets from or the securities of another entity. (d) APPROVAL OF REPURCHASE AND REDEMPTION RIGHTS. So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall neither enter into any agreement to issue, nor issue, any securities or grants of options not already in existence as of the date hereof that provide for the repurchase or redemption of the Common Stock (or amend any such existing agreement or instrument to increase the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to repurchase or redemption), without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting at which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote separately as a class. 2 (e) For purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, "DISTRIBUTION" shall mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise, payable other than in shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or the purchase or redemption of shares of the Company (other than repurchases of Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase or upon the cashless exercise of options held by employees or consultants) for cash or property. 4. LIQUIDATION AMOUNT. (a) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for Distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the amount distributable with respect to that number of shares of the Common Stock into which one share of the Series B Preferred Stock is then convertible, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (collectively, the "SERIES B LIQUIDATION AMOUNT"). If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Series B Liquidation Amount payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the corresponding pari passu Distribution with respect to the Common Stock and any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking pari passu, as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, with the Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, Common Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock. All payments for which this SECTION 4(A) provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof. (b) A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or series of transactions is disposed of or conveyed, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this SECTION 4, and no consolidation, merger, sale of assets or sale or disposition of the outstanding shares shall result which is inconsistent with this SECTION 4. 3 (c) The Company shall provide written notice of any, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, by mail, postage prepaid, no less than twenty (20) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, which notice shall also state the amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed on such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be. 5. CONVERSION. The holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights (the "CONVERSION RIGHTS"): (a) CONVERSION. (i) At any time on or after the date of the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "ISSUANCE DATE"), the holder of any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock may, at such holder's option, subject to the limitations set forth in SECTION 6 herein, elect to convert (a "CONVERSION") all or any portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock for each such share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of: (a) the Original Issue Price (as defined in SECTION 5(B) below), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, divided by (b) the Conversion Price (as defined in SECTION 5(b) below) in effect as of the date of the delivery by such holder of its notice of election to convert. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. (ii) The Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner: (1) HOLDER'S DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS. To convert Series B Preferred Stock into full shares of Common Stock on any date (each, a "CONVERSION DATE"), the holder thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I (the "CONVERSION Notice"), to the Company at its then principal offices, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such Conversion Date the original certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the "PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATES") and the originally executed Conversion Notice. 4 (2) COMPANY'S RESPONSE. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice and the Preferred Stock Certificates, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such holder. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice and the Preferred Stock Certificates, the Company or its designated transfer agent (the "TRANSFER AGENT"), as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed Conversion Notice and Preferred Stock Certificates, issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") account on the holder's behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System ("DWAC") as specified in the Conversion Notice, certificates registered in the name of the holder or its designee, representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its Transfer Agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder's behalf via DWAC if a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock is effective. If the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the Company's expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock not converted. (3) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such holder's Conversion Notice. If such holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the Company shall within one (1) business day thereafter submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72) hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant's calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable expenses of such accountant in making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the holder's calculation was correct, or by the holder, in the event the Company's calculation was correct, or equally by the Company and the holder in the event that neither the Company's or the holder's calculation was correct. The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions or redemptions under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion or redemption pending resolution of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance with this SECTION 5(A)(II)(3). (4) RECORD HOLDER. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock from and after the Conversion Date. 5 (5) COMPANY'S FAILURE TO TIMELY CONVERT. If within five (5) business days of the Company's receipt of an executed copy of the Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred Stock Certificates and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such third business day) (the "DELIVERY DATE") the Transfer Agent shall fail to issue and deliver to a holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder's conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or to issue a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to SECTION 5(A)(II) (a "CONVERSION FAILURE"), in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Exchange Agreement (the "EXCHANGE AGREEMENT") by and among the Company and the initial holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (including indemnification pursuant to SECTION 7 thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such holder on each business day after such third (3rd) business day that such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to SECTION 5(A)(II) and to which such holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to SECTION 5(A)(II), the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate, as of the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Preferred Stock Certificate to such holder without violating SECTION 5(A)(II) and (B) the price of the Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Common Stock and such Preferred Stock Certificate, as the case may be, to such holder without violating SECTION 5(B)(2). If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this SECTION 5(A)(II)(5) within five (5) business days of the date incurred, then such payment shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lower of 1.5% per month (pro rated for partial months) or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law until such payments are made. (6) BUY-IN RIGHTS. In addition to any other rights available to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock which the holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "BUY-IN"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the holder the amount by which (x) the holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B) the Conversion Price, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, and (2) at the option of the holder, either reinstate the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock 6 that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay to the holder $1,000. The holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. (b) (i) ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE; CONVERSION PRICE. The term "ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE" shall mean $16.90, and the term "CONVERSION PRICE" shall mean an amount equal to $1.69, subject to the adjustment under SECTION 5(D) hereof. Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, at no time shall the Conversion Price be greater than the Original Issue Price, except if it is adjusted pursuant to SECTION 5(D)(I). (ii) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a "BLACK-OUT PERIOD"), a holder of Series B Preferred Stock is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock immediately due to the postponement of filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of any applicable registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (a "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") or because the Company has otherwise informed such holder of Series B Preferred Stock that an existing prospectus cannot be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (PROVIDED that such postponement, delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not due to factors solely within the control of the holder of Series B Preferred Stock), such holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the option but not the obligation on any Conversion Date within ten (10) trading days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock that would have been applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) trading days thereafter. (c) [RESERVED] (d) ADJUSTMENTS OF CONVERSION PRICE. (i) ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this SECTION 5(D)(I) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective. 7 (ii) ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other Distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: (1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or Distribution. (iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other Distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had such holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any Distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this SECTION 5(D)(III) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such Distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or Distributions; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other Distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other Distribution of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or Distribution. 8 (iv) ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR SUBSTITUTION. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in SECTIONS 5(D)(I), (II) and (III), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in SECTION 5(D)(V)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. (v) ADJUSTMENTS FOR REORGANIZATION, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALES OF ASSETS. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or Distributions provided for in SECTION 5(D)(I), (II) and (III), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in SECTION 5(D)(IV)), or a deemed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company as provided in SECTION 4(C) above, (an "ORGANIC CHANGE"), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series B Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change that was received or is to that number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to giving effect to such Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this SECTION 5(D)(V) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this SECTION 5(D)(V) (including any adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable as determined by the Company's Board of Directors. (vi) [RESERVED] (vii) RECORD DATE. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date. "CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES" shall mean options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock and securities by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities. 9 (e) NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its 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 Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock against impairment. In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless (i) the Company receives an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission prohibiting such conversion, or (ii) an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of said shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been issued. (f) CERTIFICATES AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this SECTION 5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the holder of such affected Series B Preferred Stock, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such Series B Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount. (g) ISSUE TAXES. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion. (h) NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile or five (5) business days following being mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, addressed to the holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Company. The Company will give written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or Distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public. The Company will also give written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up will take place and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public. 10 (i) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon conversion up to the nearest whole number of shares. For such purpose, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash. (j) RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK. The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock and any increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder of record at the time of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Series B Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder. (k) RETIREMENT OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK. Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. (l) REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of Series B Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be. 11 6. CONVERSION RESTRICTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon a holder of Series B Preferred Stock providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days notice (the "WAIVER NOTICE") that such holder would like to waive SECTION 6 of this Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, this SECTION 6 will be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of Series B Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice. 7. VOTE TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF OR ISSUE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK. The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (in addition to any other corporate approvals then required to effect such action), shall be required (a) for any change to this Certificate of Designation or the Company's Certificate of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred Stock or (b) for the issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. 8. LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock. 9. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 12 10. SPECIFIC SHALL NOT LIMIT GENERAL; CONSTRUCTION. No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all initial purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. 11. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
