-4-


 

payable solely in shares of Common Stock), unless the holders of Series A Preferred Stock first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend or distribution on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the per share dividend or distribution to be declared, paid or set aside for the Common Stock, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible. From and after the Fixed Dividend Date, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue (whether declared or paid) at the rate of 2% per annum (expressed as a percentage of the Series A Stated Value) (the “Series A Preferred Dividends”).

     3. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, prior and in preference to any distribution to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities and pari passu to any distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other Parity Securities, to be paid an amount per share equal to the Series A Stated Value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock subsequent to the Fixed Dividend Date (the “Liquidation Preference”). If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of their respective liquidation amount, then the entire assets of the Company to be distributed shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock according to the preferential amounts due thereon. Neither the consolidation nor merger of the Company into or with any other entity or entities nor the consolidation or merger of any entity or entities into the Company shall be deemed to be a liquidation within the meaning of this Section 3, but the sale, lease or conveyance of all

-5-


 

or substantially all the Company’s assets shall be deemed a liquidation within the meaning of this Section 3.
     4. Conversion.
          4.1 Conversion at the Option of the Company; Redemption.
          (a) All Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Determination Date”) shall convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable whole shares of Common Stock as is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so to be converted by the Series A Stated Value and the per share dividends accrued and unpaid thereon and dividing the result by the End-of-period Conversion Price then in effect, unless the Company has redeemed all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock as provided in clause (e) below. Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Determination Date, the Company shall give irrevocable written notice to the Holders if the Company will not convert the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(a) and instead will redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(e).
          (b) No later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Determination Date, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the certificates representing the shares of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock to be converted on the Determination Date (or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement) to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder), together with a statement of the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. Promptly following the Determination Date and the surrender of such certificates (or, in lieu thereof, delivery of an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement), the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, registered in such name or names as the Holder may direct in writing, certificates representing the shares of Common Stock into which such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and all accrued dividends thereon) have been converted. The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the Determination Date, and at such time, the rights of the Holder shall cease with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Common Stock.
          (c) No fractional interest in any Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.1. If any fractional interest would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section

-6-


 

4.1(c), be delivered upon such conversion, such fractional interest shall be rounded down to nearest whole number or amount, as applicable.
          (d) [Intentionally Omitted.]
          (e) If not converted prior thereto pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 hereof, the Company shall have the right to redeem all or any part of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Determination Date at a per share redemption price equal to the Series A Stated Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the Determination Date (the “Redemption Price”). To effect such redemption, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Determination Date, the Company shall give irrevocable written notice to the Holders that the Company will redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(e). If the Company is effecting a redemption, on the Determination Date, (i) the Company shall pay the Redemption Price to the Holder in immediately available funds to an account previously specified in writing by the Holder, and (ii) upon the payment of the Redemption Price, the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be issued and outstanding and certificates formerly representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall evidence only the right to receive the Redemption Price, without interest, upon the surrender thereof (or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement) to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder). Any partial redemption shall be made on a pro rata basis. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company may not be reissued as Series A Preferred Stock and shall become authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock of the Company.
          4.2 Mandatory Conversion.
          (a) Subject to Section 4.2(e), upon the consummation of a Qualified Financing, all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Holder, convert on a dollar-for-dollar basis, into Equity Securities. The date on which the Qualified Financing is consummated is hereinafter referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Company shall notify the Holder at least five Business Days prior to the expected Mandatory Conversion Date. The Holder shall keep such notice confidential and shall not effect any transaction in securities of the Company from and after receipt of the Company’s notice and until such transactions are again permitted pursuant to the Qualified Financing Documents.
          (b) No later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the certificates representing all of the Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement) to the Company at its principal office (or such

-7-


 

other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder), together with a statement of the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for the Equity Securities issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. Promptly following the Mandatory Conversion Date and the surrender of such certificates (or, in lieu thereof, delivery of an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement), the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, registered in such name or names as the Holder may direct in writing, certificates representing the Equity Securities into which such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and all accrued dividends thereon) have been converted. The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected, as of the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, and at such time, the rights of the Holder shall cease with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any Equity Securities shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Equity Securities. If such certificates are not surrendered as provided above, on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be issued and outstanding and certificates formerly representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall evidence only the right to receive the Equity Securities upon the surrender thereof (or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement) to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Holder).
          (c) No fractional interest in any Conversion Security shall be issued upon any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2. If any fractional interest would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 4.2(c), be delivered upon such conversion, such fractional interest shall be rounded down to nearest whole number or amount, as applicable.
          (d) [Intentionally Omitted.]
          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 4.2, if the effective per share price at which shares of Common Stock are issued or issuable in the Qualified Financing is less than $1.50 (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other reclassification or combination of the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) (the “Minimum Conversion Price”), the Company shall have the option to make the provisions of this Section 4.2 inapplicable with respect to such Qualified Financing. Any such option must be exercised, if at all, by giving written notice thereof to the Holders not less than ten (10) days prior to the scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date. In the event that the Company notifies the Holders that it is electing pursuant to this Section 4.2(e) to make the provisions of this Section 4.2 inapplicable to a Qualified Financing because the effective price is less than the Minimum Conversion Price, each Holder shall have the right, exercisable at any time within five days of receipt of the Company’s notice, to force the automatic conversion of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.2 at the Minimum Conversion

-8-


 

Price. The provisions of Section 4.2(d) shall remain applicable to any conversion at the Minimum Conversion Price and, in the event that the Company is not able to convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to which such election is made, the shares to be converted shall be determined on a pro rata basis among all Holders exercising rights to convert.
          4.3 Optional Conversion.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4, the Holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option at any time, to convert any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into such number of fully paid and nonassessable whole shares of Common Stock as is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so to be converted by the Series A Stated Value and the per share dividends accrued and unpaid thereon and dividing the result by the Initial Conversion Price then in effect. Such rights of conversion shall be exercised by the Holder thereof by surrender of a certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted (or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement) to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the holder or holders of the Series A Preferred Stock) at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in such notice, together with a properly completed notice of conversion with a statement of the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock, shall be issued. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected and the Initial Conversion Price shall be determined as of the close of business on the date on which such written notice shall have been received by the Company and the certificate or certificates for such shares shall have been surrendered as aforesaid (or, in lieu thereof, an appropriate lost security affidavit in the event such certificates shall have been lost or destroyed, together with a customary indemnity agreement).
          (b) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. In case the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered pursuant to Section 4.3(a) exceeds the number of shares converted, the Company shall upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the holder thereof at the expense of the Company, a new certificate for the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered which are not to be converted.
          (c) [Intentionally Omitted.]
          4.4 Conversion Procedures; Buy In. Promptly following the effective date of any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder, registered in such name or names (with address and tax identification number) as such Holder may direct, subject to compliance with applicable laws to the extent such designation shall involve a transfer, a certificate or certificates for

-9-


 

the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the tenth Business Day after the effective date of any such conversion, and if after the effective date of any such conversion the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating thereto (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions). For example, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay 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 and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue 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 shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
          4.5 Stock Splits and Dividends. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the Initial Conversion Price and Minimum Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective shall be adjusted by the Company so that the holder thereafter converting its shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the such holder would have received if the shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to such event. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
          4.6 Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company shall be effected in such a way (including, without limitation, by way of consolidation or merger) that holders of Common Stock but not holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive

-10-


 

stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock then, as a condition of such reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each holder of a share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of such share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore so receivable had such reorganization or reclassification not taken place and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights (including an immediate adjustment, by reason of such reorganization or reclassification, of the Initial Conversion Price and Minimum Conversion Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such reorganization or reclassification. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company as a result of which a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation are issuable to holders of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, the Initial Conversion Price and Minimum Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
          4.7 Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets, or subscription rights or warrants, the Conversion Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Initial Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date.
          4.8 Effective Date of Adjustment. An adjustment to the Initial Conversion Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.

-11-


 

          4.9 Amount of Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a cent or to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a share, as the case may be.
          4.10 Subsequent Adjustments. In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Conversion Shares contained herein.
          4.11 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Initial Conversion Price, then, and in each such case the Company shall give written notice thereof by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state the Initial Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
          4.12 Other Notices. In case at any time:
          (1) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in cash or stock or make any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock;
          (2) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of such stock of any class or other rights;
          (3) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or a consolidation or merger of the Company with, or a sale of all or substantially all its assets to, another corporation; or
          (4) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company, (a) at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) shall

-12-


 

also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be.

          (a) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens, duties and charges arising out of or by reason of the issue thereof (including, without limitation, in respect of taxes) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants that it will from time to time take all such action as may be requisite to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the lowest Conversion Price in effect hereunder. The Company will take all such action within its control as may be necessary on its part to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock of the Company may be listed. The Company will not take any action which results in any adjustment of any Conversion Price if after such action the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and thereafter issuable upon exercise of all options and conversion of all convertible securities, including upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, would exceed the total number of shares of such class of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.
          (b) All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall be so issued shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens, duties and charges arising out of or by reason of the issue thereof (including, without limitation, in respect of taxes).
          4.14 No Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are converted into shares of Common Stock as provided herein shall cease to be outstanding and shall be retired and may not be reissued as Series A Preferred Stock but may be reissued as all or part of another series of Preferred Stock.
          4.15 Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any issuance tax, stamp tax, transfer tax, duty or charge in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax, duty or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of

any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock which is being converted.
          4.16 Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any Series A Preferred Stock or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting record dates for the holders of its securities.
     5. Voting. In addition to any class voting rights provided by law and this Certificate of Designation, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on any matter on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote (including the election of directors). With respect to the voting rights of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the preceding sentence, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock that would be issuable to such Holder upon the permitted conversion at the then Initial Conversion Price of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote; provided, that only shares permitted to be converted hereunder without stockholder approval will be entitled to vote until such stockholder approval is obtained.
     6. Certain Restrictions. In addition to any other vote of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, without the prior consent of the Holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a special meeting called for that purpose, at which meeting the holders of the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a class, the Company will not:
          (a) authorize, create, designate, establish or issue (whether by merger or otherwise) (i) an increased number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) any other Parity Securities or Senior Securities or reclassify any shares of Common Stock into Parity Securities or Senior Securities;
          (b) amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or the Resolutions contained in this Certificate of Designations and the powers, preferences, privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, which would adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock, or which would increase the amount of authorized shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or of any Senior Securities;
          (c) repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire shares of its Common Stock or Junior Securities;

          (d) enter into any agreement or understanding with respect to any of the foregoing; or
          (e) pay cash dividends or distributions on Junior Securities of the Company.
     7. No Waiver. Except as otherwise modified or provided for herein, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to, and shall not be deemed to have waived, any other applicable rights granted to such holders under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
     8. No Impairment. The Company will not, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 time in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of Article 4.3 of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights and liquidation preferences granted hereunder of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.
     9. Equity Treatment Under GAAP. The terms set forth in this Certificate of Designations are intended to result in the treatment of the Series A Preferred Stock as equity securities under generally accepted accounting principles.
     10. No Preemptive Rights. No Holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have any preemptive right to subscribe to any issue of the same or other capital stock of the Company.
     11. Amendment; Waiver. Any term of the Series A Preferred Stock may be amended or waived upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, and such amendment (and any amendment to this Certificate of Designations implementing such amendment) shall not require the approval of the stockholders of the Company generally.
     12. Action By Holders. Any action or consent to be taken or given by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may be given either at a meeting of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock called and held for such purpose or by written consent.
