REPORTS, RECORDS AND PAYMENTS

4.1 Reports.

(a) Progress Reports.

(1) Beginning January 1, 2002 and ending on the date of first commercial sale of a Licensed Product in the United States, LICENSEE shall submit to UNIVERSITY once each calendar year a progress report covering LICENSEE’s (and Affiliate’s and Sublicensee’s) activities to develop and test all Licensed Products and obtain governmental approvals necessary for marketing the same.

4.2 Records & Audits.

(a) LICENSEE shall keep, and shall require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, accurate and correct records of all Licensed Products manufactured, used, and sold, Deliverables developed and sold, and sublicense fees received under this Agreement. Such records shall be retained by LICENSEE for at least five (5) years following a given reporting period.

(b) All records shall be available during normal business hours for inspection at the expense of UNIVERSITY by UNIVERSITY’s Internal Audit Department or by a Certified Public Accountant selected by UNIVERSITY and in compliance with the other terms of this Agreement for the sole purpose of verifying reports and payments. Such inspector shall not disclose to UNIVERSITY any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and payments made under this Agreement or other compliance issues. In the event that any such inspection shows an under reporting and underpayment in excess of […***…] for any twelve (12) month period, then LICENSEE shall pay the cost of the audit as well as any additional sum that would have been payable to UNIVERSITY had the LICENSEE reported correctly, plus an interest charge at a rate of […***…] per year. Such interest shall be calculated from the date the correct payment was due to UNIVERSITY up to the date when such payment is actually made by LICENSEE. For underpayment not in excess of […***…] for any twelve (12) month period, LICENSEE shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days without interest charge or inspection cost. If the inspection shows any overpayment by LICENSEE, UNIVERSITY shall promptly credit such amount to any royalties that may be owed by LICENSEE to UNIVERSITY in the future.

(1) Royalties shall accrue when Licensed Products are invoiced, or if not invoiced, when delivered to a third party or Affiliate.

(2) LICENSEE shall pay earned royalties quarterly on or before February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30 of each calendar year. Each such payment shall be for earned royalties accrued within LICENSEE’s most recently completed calendar quarter.

(3) Royalties earned on sales occurring or under sublicense granted pursuant to this Agreement in any country outside the United States shall not be reduced by LICENSEE for any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country on the payment of royalty income, except that all payments made by LICENSEE in fulfillment of UNIVERSITY’s tax liability in any particular country may be credited against earned royalties or fees due UNIVERSITY for that country. LICENSEE shall pay all bank charges resulting from the transfer of such royalty payments.

(4) If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all royalties by LICENSEE with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold or a sublicense is granted pursuant to this Agreement, LICENSEE shall convert the amount owed to UNIVERSITY into US currency and shall pay UNIVERSITY directly from its US sources of fund for as long as the legal restrictions apply.

(5) LICENSEE shall not collect royalties from, or cause to be paid on Licensed Products sold to the account of the US Government or any agency thereof as provided for in the license to the US Government.

(6) In the event that any patent or patent claim within Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a patent office from which no appeal or additional patent prosecution has been or can be taken, or by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based solely on that patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom shall cease as of the date of such final decision. LICENSEE shall not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before the date of such final decision, that are based on another patent or claim not involved in such final decision, or that are based on the use of Technology.

In such case, […***…] agrees to provide […***…] all reasonable assistance, at […***…] expense, in such enforcement, including, without limitation, executing any necessary documentation related thereto. Regardless which party brings such enforcement action, the party not bringing the action shall have the right to participate in such action at its own expense with its own counsel.

(c) Recoveries from actions brought pursuant to Paragraph 5.2(b) shall belong to the party bringing suit, except that for suits brought by LICENSEE, a portion of any recovery, after reimbursement of all fees and costs incurred in connection with such suits, shall be paid to UNIVERSITY as follows: […***…].

The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to issue and transfer the Shares and the Conversion Shares, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.

3.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights. The authorized capital stock of the Company, immediately prior to the Closing, will consist of twenty million (20,000,000) shares of Common Stock, no par value per share, of which three million three hundred sixty thousand (3,360,000) are outstanding, and ten million (10,000,000)shares of Preferred Stock, no par value per share, three million (3,000,000) of which are designated Series A Preferred Stock, of which three million (3,000,000) are outstanding, and three hundred fifty thousand (350,000) of which are designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock, none of which are outstanding.

Neither the Company nor any agent on its behalf has solicited or will solicit any offers to sell or has offered to sell or will offer to sell all or any part of the Shares to any person or persons so as to bring the sale of such Shares by the Company within the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF UCSD

UCSD hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows to be true on and as of the Closing Date:

4.1 Requisite Power and Authority. UCSD has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions. All action on UCSD’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been or will be effectively taken prior to the Closing. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of UCSD, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies, and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of any indemnification provisions hereof may be limited by applicable laws.

4.2 Investment Representations. UCSD understands that neither the Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act. UCSD also understands that the Shares are being offered, issued and transfered pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon UCSD’s representations contained in the Agreement. UCSD hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a) UCSD Bears Economic Risk. UCSD has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. UCSD must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares and the Conversion Shares are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. UCSD understands that the Company has no present intention of registering the Shares and the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. UCSD also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow UCSD to transfer all or any portion of the Shares and the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times UCSD might propose.

(b) Acquisition for Own Account. UCSD is acquiring the Shares and the Conversion Shares for UCSD’s own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution except for The Regents transferring an inventor share portion of the Shares to The Regents’ inventors of the patent rights licensed to Company under its license as inventor share as provided for in The Regents Patent Policy; provided, however, that such transfers must be effected in compliance with applicable securities laws and under the terms of this Agreement.

(c) UCSD Can Protect Its Interest. UCSD represents that by reason of its (or of its management’s or administration’s) business or financial experience, UCSD has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Further, the undersigned on behalf of UCSD is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.

(d) Accredited Investor. UCSD represents that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act as The Regents are a 501(c)(3) corporation and it has assets in excess of five million dollars ($5,000,000).

(e) Rule 144. UCSD acknowledges and agrees that the Shares, and, if issued, the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. UCSD has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

(f) Residence. The office or offices of UCSD in which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses of UCSD set forth on the signature page hereto.

4.3 Transfer Restrictions. UCSD acknowledges and agrees that the Shares and, if issued, the Conversion Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth herein and a right of first refusal set forth in the Company’s Bylaws.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

GENOMATICA, INC.

Bernhard O. Palsson hereby certifies that:

ONE: He is the duly elected and acting President and Secretary of Genomatica, Inc., a California corporation (the “Corporation”).

TWO: The Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation, originally filed November 23, 1998, amended on May 4, 2000, amended and restated on March 15, 2001, and amended and restated on April 24, 2001 are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The name of the Corporation is GENOMATICA, INC.

II.

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of California other than the banking business, the trust company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by the California Corporations Code.

III.

A. This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is thirty million (30,000,000) shares, twenty million (20,000,000) shares of which shall be Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) and ten million (10,000,000) shares of which shall be Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

B. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in these Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, the liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of them; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

C. Three million (3,000,000) of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated “Series A Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Three hundred fifty

thousand (350,000) of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated “Series A-1 Preferred Stock” (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock” and, collectively with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Series Preferred”).

D. The rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series Preferred are as follows:

1. Dividend Rights.

a. Holders of Series Preferred, in preference to the holders of any other stock of the Corporation (“Junior Stock”), shall be entitled to receive, if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, cash dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the applicable “Original Issue Price” per annum on each outstanding share of Series Preferred (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares). The Original Issue Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be one dollar ($1.00) per share (the “Series A Original Issue Price”). The Original Issue Price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be one dollar ($1.00) per share (the “Series A-1 Original Issue Price”). Such dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and shall be non-cumulative.

b. So long as any shares of Series Preferred shall be outstanding, no dividend, whether in cash or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall any other distribution be made, on any Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of any Junior Stock of the Corporation be purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation (except for acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of services to the Corporation or in exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal upon a proposed transfer) until all dividends (set forth in Section 1(a) above) on the Series Preferred shall have been paid or declared and set apart. The provisions of this Section 1(b) shall not, however, apply to (i) a dividend payable in Common Stock, (ii) the acquisition of shares of any Junior Stock in exchange for shares of any other Junior Stock, or (iii) any repurchase of any outstanding securities of the Corporation that is unanimously approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. The holders of the Series Preferred expressly waive their rights, if any, as described in California Corporations Code Sections 502, 503 and 506 as they relate to repurchase of shares upon termination of employment.

2. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the Series Preferred shall be voted equally with the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common Stock, in either case upon the following basis: each holder of shares of Series Preferred shall be entitled to such number of votes as shall be equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Series Preferred are convertible (pursuant to Section 4 hereof) immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent.

3. Liquidation Rights.

a. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or holders of any Junior Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by them. If, upon any liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the liquidation preference set forth above, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

b. After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 3(a) above, and before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Stock, the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation an amount per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to the Series A-1 Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) for each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by them. If, upon any liquidation, distribution, or winding up, after payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 3(a) above the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the liquidation preference set forth above, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

c. After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 3(a) above and payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 3(b) above, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis until such time as the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have received pursuant to Section 3(a) above and this Section 3(b) an aggregate amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to two (2) times the Series A Original Issue Price (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Series Preferred). The remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

d. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, or a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 3.

e. If any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under this Section 3 or for any purpose, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage independent competent appraisers to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of Series Preferred or Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser’s valuation, give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of Series Preferred or Common Stock of the appraiser’s valuation.

4. Conversion Rights.

The holders of the Series Preferred shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Series Preferred into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rights”):

a. Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4, each share of Series Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into such number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined (i) as to the Series A Preferred Stock, by dividing $1.00 by the then effective Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) as to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, by dividing $1.00 by the then effective Conversion Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (in each case as last adjusted and then currently in effect, referred to as the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price per share at which shares of Common Stock shall initially be issuable (the “Initial Conversion Price”) upon conversion of the Series Preferred shall be $1.00 with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and $1.00 with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock; provided, however, that such Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment at any time and from time to time after the date upon which the first share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock is issued (the “Original Issue Date”).

b. Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series Preferred who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series Preferred, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Series Preferred being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly 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 in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock’s fair market value determined by the Board of Directors as of the date of such conversion), any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series Preferred being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series Preferred 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.

c. Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock without a corresponding subdivision of the

Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of the Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 4(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

d. Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock that is then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is 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 (ii) the denominator of which is 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; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4(d) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.

e. Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series Preferred is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in any change in the Common Stock) in any such event the Series Preferred shall be convertible into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series Preferred could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

f. Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be

made so that the holders of the Series Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series Preferred the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series Preferred after the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series Preferred) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.

g. Sale of Shares Below Series Preferred Conversion Price.

(i) If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this subsection (g) to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in subsection (g)(iv) below)), other than as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as provided in Section 4(d) above, and other than a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4(c) above, for an Effective Price (as defined in subsection (g)(iv) below) less than the Conversion Price with respect to any series of Preferred Stock then in effect, then and in each such case, such Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (as defined in subsection (g)(ii)) by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding shares of Series Preferred could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock which could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all other rights, options and convertible securities outstanding or exercisable on the day immediately preceding the given date.

(ii) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 4(g), the consideration received by the Corporation for any issue or sale of securities shall (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the net amount of cash received by the Corporation after deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of any expenses payable by the Corporation, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as

defined in subsection (g)(iii) below) 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 the Corporation for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by 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 4(g), if the Corporation issues or sells any (i) stock or other securities convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as “Convertible Securities”) or (ii) rights or options for the purchase of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price with respect to any series of Preferred Stock then in effect, in each case the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or 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 for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion thereof; provided that if in the case of Convertible Securities the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, the Corporation shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses; provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of such Conversion Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, 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 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 without having been exercised, such Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the 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 such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the

Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities; provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Series Preferred.

(iv) “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 4(g), whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation other than (A) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series Preferred; (B) shares of Common Stock and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrant or other rights (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) issued or granted after the Original Issue Date to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board; (C) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of the Original Issue Date; (D) shares of Common Stock issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination; (E) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement, or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution; (F) shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, options, warrants or other equity securities issued in connection with strategic transactions involving the Corporation and other entities, including (x) joint venture, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements and (y) technology transfer, collaboration, licensing or development arrangements; provided that such strategic transactions and the related issuance of equity securities have been approved by the Board; and (G) options issued pursuant to any plan or other arrangement approved by the Board (as well as any shares issued upon exercise thereof). The “Effective Price” of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Corporation under this Section 4(g), into the aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the Corporation for such issue under this Section 4(g), for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.

h. Certificate of Adjustment.

(i) In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock for the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, if the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as shown in the Corporation’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or

readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Conversion Price with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock then in effect, (iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(ii) In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, if the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as shown in the Corporation’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Conversion Price with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then in effect, (iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

i. Notices of Record Date. Upon (i) any taking by the 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 the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series Preferred at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (A) 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, (B) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record 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.

j. Automatic Conversion.

(i) Each share of Series Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the applicable Conversion Price with respect to each series of Preferred Stock then in effect, (A) at any time upon the affirmative election of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series Preferred, or (B) immediately upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective

registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation in which (i) the per share price is at least $3.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and the like), and (ii) the gross cash proceeds to the Corporation (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least $10,000,000. Upon such automatic conversion, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b).

(ii) Upon the occurrence of either event specified in paragraph (i) above, the outstanding shares of Series Preferred shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series Preferred are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Series Preferred, the holders of Series Preferred shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series Preferred. 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 shares of Series Preferred surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred, and any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(b).

k. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series Preferred. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series Preferred by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) on the date of conversion.

l. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The 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 the Series Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series Preferred. 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 Preferred, the 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 purpose.

10.

m. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation.

n. Payment of Taxes. The Corporation will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series Preferred, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series Preferred so converted were registered.

o. No Dilution or Impairment. Without the consent of the holders of the then outstanding Series Preferred, voting together as a single class, the Corporation shall not amend its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or take any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series Preferred against dilution or other impairment.

5. No Reissuance of Series Preferred.

No share or shares of Series Preferred which have been converted into Common Stock after the original issuance thereof shall be reissued and all such shares so converted shall upon such conversion cease to be authorized shares of the Corporation. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation’s authorized stock.

6. No Preemptive Rights.

Shareholders shall have no preemptive rights.

IV.

A. The liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.

B. The Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as defined in Section 317 of the General Corporation Law of California) for breach of duty to the Corporation and its shareholders through bylaw provisions or through agreements with agents, or both, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the General Corporation

11.

Law of California, subject to the limits on such excess indemnification set forth in Section 204 of the General Corporation Law of California. If, after the effective date of this Article, California law is amended in a manner which permits a corporation to limit the monetary or other liability of its directors or to authorize indemnification of, or advancement of such defense expenses to, its directors or other persons, in any such case to a greater extent than is permitted on such effective date, the references in this Article to “California law” shall to that extent be deemed to refer to California law as so amended.

C. Any repeal or modification of this Article shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act giving rise to liability.

THREE: The foregoing amendment and restatement of the Articles of Incorporation has been duly approved by the Board of Directors of this Corporation.

FOUR: The foregoing amendment and restatement of the Articles of Incorporation has been duly approved by the required vote of shareholders in accordance with Section 902 of the California Corporations Code. The Corporation has two classes of stock outstanding and each such class of stock is entitled to vote with respect to the amendment herein set forth. The total number of outstanding shares of the Corporation is 3,360,000 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The number of shares voting in favor of the amendment equaled or exceeded the vote required. The percentage vote required was more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Stock voting as a class and more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock voting as a class. There are no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock outstanding.
