The Corporation shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such Liquidation Event, as well as any material changes to the amount to be paid. In the event the requirements of subparagraph (c) of this Section 2 are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either (A) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this subparagraph (c) have been complied with, or (B) cancel such Liquidation Event, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in this subparagraph (c) hereof.

(e)    Non-cash Distribution.    If any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under this Section 2 or for any purpose, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage an independent appraiser to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser’s valuation, give prompt written notice to each holder of Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the appraiser’s valuation. Notwithstanding the above, any securities to be distributed to the shareholders shall be valued as follows:

The investment banker shall be hired and paid by the Corporation and acceptable to the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred.

3.    Voting Rights.

(a)    General.    Except as specifically set forth herein, including in Section 3(b), or as otherwise provided by law, the holder of each share of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Series B Preferred held by such holder, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. The shares of Series B Preferred shall be voted together with the Common Stock on all matters requiring the vote of the shareholders of the Corporation, and shall vote separately as a class only where required by law. The holders of Series A Preferred and Series C Preferred shall not have any right to vote except as provided by law.

(b)    Protective Provisions.    So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock (or rights to acquire Series B Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and/or warrants to acquire Series B Preferred Stock which represent at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of such Series B Preferred Stock including shares that would be outstanding upon exercise of warrants to acquire Series B Preferred Stock:

(i)    increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock; or

(ii)    authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security (i) having a preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to voting, dividends or upon liquidation, or (ii) having rights similar to any of the rights of the Series B Preferred Stock; or

(iii)    amend these Articles of Incorporation or the Corporation’s bylaws so as to alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares.

(c)    Notice and Voting.    Each holder of a share of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any shareholders’ meeting as provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, as well as prior notice of all shareholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of meeting, and shall vote with holders of the Common Stock upon any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, except those matters required by law, or by the terms hereof, to be submitted to a class vote of the holders of Preferred Stock. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted, and any fractions shall be disregarded in computing voting rights.

(d)    Board of Directors.    The authorized number of directors shall be five (5) or such other number as may be fixed from time to time by a resolution adopted by the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors or the consent of holders of more than two-thirds of the Series B Preferred then issued and outstanding. The election of directors shall be subject to the terms set forth in that certain Shareholders Agreement by and among the Corporation and certain of its Shareholders, dated as of the effective date of this Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Shareholders Agreement”). In the event that a vacancy shall occur on the Board of Directors, the number of directors shall be reduced until a new director or directors shall be elected to such position or positions as provided in the Shareholders Agreement.

The price payable for each redeemed share (the “Redemption Price”), as applicable, of (x) Series A Preferred shall be equal to the Original Series A Issue Price plus an amount equal to the Original Series A Issue Price for each share that is deemed to be issued as an accrued but unpaid dividend on such share pursuant to Article III, C.1. hereof, to and including the Redemption Date; and (y) Series C Preferred shall be equal to the Original Series C Issue Price, and no more.

The Corporation shall give notice of redemption of Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred, as applicable, at such holder’s address as the same appears on the stock records of the Corporation. The Redemption Notice shall state: (i) that all shares of Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred, as applicable, called by the Corporation for redemption, will be redeemed on the stated redemption date (the “Redemption Date”); (ii) the Redemption Price and the method of calculation thereof; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date.

On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred shall surrender a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of the Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred to be redeemed as stated in the Redemption Notice. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, unless the Corporation shall be in default in providing money for the payment of the Redemption Price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends to (and including) the date fixed for redemption), (i) dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred to be redeemed shall cease to accumulate, (ii) said shares shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and (iii) all rights of the holders thereof as shareholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the Corporation the monies payable upon redemption without interest thereon) shall cease on the Redemption Date.

Upon surrender in accordance with the Redemption Notice of the certificates for any such shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors shall so require and the notice of redemption shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable Redemption Price. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.

5.    Mandatory Redemption.

Except where prohibited by law or by any agreement to which the Corporation has, with the approval of the holders of the majority of the outstanding Class B Preferred stock, become a party, the Corporation shall, prior to any redemption of any other shares of Preferred Stock and prior to the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, redeem from any person who, in connection with financing provided to the Corporation by such person or in connection with such person’s employment with the Corporation, acquired a right to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock (a “Series B Preferred Stock Right”), the Series B Preferred Stock Right so acquired, or if such Series B Preferred Stock Right has been exercised, either entirely or partially, any shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued upon such exercise.

6.    Limitations on Reissuance.    No share or shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

D.    Common Stock.

1.    Dividend Rights.    Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights to dividends, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of any funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, if, as and when declared, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

2.    Liquidation Rights.    Subject to the prior payment in full of the liquidation preference amounts payable with respect to the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred as required by Article III C. above, any additional assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred held by each holder of Common Stock or Series B Preferred. Upon a Liquidation Event of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed as provided in Article III.C.2.

ARTICLE V—INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION ON

DIRECTOR LIABILITY

No director of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or to its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty as a director, by reason of any act or omission occurring subsequent to the date when this provision becomes effective except that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director imposed by Section 14-2-202(b)(4) of the Code, as amended and superceded from time to time, for (a) any appropriation in violation of his duties, of any business opportunity of the Corporation; (b) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or violation of laws; (c) liabilities of a director imposed by Section 14-2-832 of the Code; or (d) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This Article V shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when Section 14-2-202(b)(4) of the Code became effective. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article V, nor the adoption of any provision of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation inconsistent with this Article V, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this

Article V in respect of any act or failure to act, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article V, would accrue or arise prior to any amendment, repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent provision. If the Code is subsequently amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations for breach of duty of care or other duty as a director, then the personal liability of the directors of the Corporation shall be so further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Code.

Such indemnification shall be made only in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and subject to the conditions prescribed therein.

In any instance where the laws of the State of Georgia permit indemnification to be provided to persons who are or have been an officer or director of the Corporation or who are or have been an officer, director, partner, joint venture partner or participant or trustee of any such other enterprise only on a determination that certain specified standards of conduct have been met, upon application for indemnification by any such person the Corporation shall promptly cause such determination to be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (ii) if a quorum cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designated directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate), consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in (i) (ii), or if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under (i) and a committee cannot be designated under (ii), selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate); or (iv) by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of the directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the determination.

As a condition to any such right of indemnification, the Corporation may require that it be permitted to participate in the defense of any such action or proceeding through legal counsel designated by the Corporation and at the expense of the Corporation.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such persons whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such officers and directors against any liability under the laws of the State of Georgia. If any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of indemnification, other than by court order, action by shareholders or by an insurance carrier, the Corporation shall provide notice of such payment to the shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Georgia.

The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.
