12.4         Limitation on Liability.  The obligations to Parent and Acquisition Corp. to the Company Indemnified Parties set forth in Section 12.1 shall be subject to the following limitations:

12.5         Notice of Claims.

(a)           If, at any time on or prior to the Claims Deadline, Company Indemnified Parties shall assert a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1, such Company Indemnified Parties shall submit to Parent a written claim in good faith signed by an authorized officer of the Company or other Company Indemnified Parties, as applicable, stating:  (i) that a Company Indemnified Party incurred or reasonably believes it may incur Damages and the reasonable estimate of the amount of any such Damages; (ii) in reasonable detail, the facts alleged as the basis for such claim and the section or sections of this Agreement alleged as the basis or bases for the claim; and (iii) if the Damages have actually been incurred, the number of additional shares of Common Stock to which the Stockholders are entitled with respect to such Damages, which shall be determined as provided in Section 12.6 below.  If the claim is for Damages which the Company Indemnified Parties reasonably believe may be incurred or are otherwise un-liquidated, the written claim of the applicable Company Indemnified Parties shall state the reasonable estimate of such Damages, in which event a claim shall be deemed to have been asserted under this Article 12 in the amount of such estimated Damages, but no distribution of additional shares of Common Stock to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 12.6 below shall be made until such Damages have actually been incurred.

defense of such action, suit or proceeding.  Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Company Indemnified Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, settle or compromise any claim or demand if such settlement or compromise does not include an irrevocable and unconditional release of such Company Indemnified Parties for any liability arising out of such claim or demand.

12.6         Payment of Damages.  In the event that the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 12 for actual Damages incurred by them, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the amount of such Damages, issue to the Stockholders that number of additional shares of Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of such Damages by (y) the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock as of the date (the “Determination Date”) of the submission of the notice of claim to Parent pursuant to Section 12.5.  Such shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the Stockholders pro rata, in proportion to the number of Parent Shares issued (or issuable) to the Stockholders at the Effective Time and under the Private Placement.

(c)             In the event the SEC does not permit the Parent to register all of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the Registration Statement, the Parent shall use its best efforts to register those shares of Parent Common Stock that were not registered in the Registration Statement in a manner that is most advantageous to the holders of Parent Common Stock and permitted by the SEC, whether by filing a subsequent registration statement, providing demand registration rights, or otherwise.

13.2         Parent shall notify the holders of the Parent Common Stock at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or

36




omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.  At the request of the holders of the Parent Common Stock, the Parent shall also prepare, file and furnish to the holders of the Parent Common Stock a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

13.3         Parent shall indemnify the holders of the Parent Common Stock and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) by the Parent of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any registration of the type described in this Section 13, or any omission (or alleged omission) by the Parent to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such holders of the Parent Common Stock for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that holders of the Parent Common Stock will not be eligible for indemnification hereunder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished by such holders of the Parent Common Stock for use in connection with such registration.

13.4         Parent acknowledges and agrees that the holders of the Parent Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries under this Section 13 and shall have the right to enforce the Parent’s obligations hereunder.

14.           Termination Prior to Closing.

14.1         Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(e)           By either the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Acquisition Corp., on the other hand, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to September 30, 2006, for any reason other than delay or nonperformance of the party seeking such termination.

14.2         Termination of Obligations.  Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 14 shall terminate all obligations of the parties hereunder, except for the obligations under Sections 6.1, 15.3 and 15.12; provided, however, that termination pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of Section 14.1 shall not relieve the defaulting or breaching party or parties from any liability to the other parties hereto.

respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.”  The total number of shares that the Corporation is authorized to issue is one hundred and fifty million (150,000,000) shares, $0.001 par value, of which one hundred million (100,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock and fifty million (50,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock.

B.            Twelve million five hundred forty-nine thousand five hundred sixty-eight (12,549,568) shares of the Preferred Stock are designated “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” and sixteen million six hundred and sixty-six thousand and six hundred and sixty seven (16,666,667) shares of the Preferred Stock are designated “Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock”.  The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall be referred to, at times, collectively as the “Preferred Shares”.   The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is expressly authorized, pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law, to provide for the issue of all or any of the remaining shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including but not limited to dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences.  The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series other than the Preferred Shares, subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.  In case the number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

C.            The powers, preferences, rights, restrictions and other matters relating to the Preferred Shares are as follows:

1.             Dividends.

(a)           Cumulative Dividends on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends at the rate of $0.0245 (or 7%) per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) per annum, payable out of funds legally available therefor.  Such dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and shall be cumulative to the extent so declared.

(b)           Cumulative Dividends on Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.  The holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Holders”) shall be entitled to receive dividends at the rate of $0.0105 (or 7%) per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) per annum, payable out of funds legally available therefor.  Such dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors and shall be cumulative to the extent so declared.

(c)           Dividends on Common Stock.  No dividends (other than those payable solely in the Common Stock of the Corporation) shall be paid on any Common Stock or




any other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation during any fiscal year of the Corporation until (i) dividends in the total amount of $0.025 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, have been paid or declared and set apart during all fiscal years (or portions thereof) between the Original Series A Issue Date (as defined below) and the date of any such dividend on Common or Preferred Stock and (ii) dividends in the total amount of $0.0105 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, have been paid or declared and set apart during all fiscal years (or portions thereof) between the Original Series A-1 Issue Date (as defined below) and the date of any such dividend on Common or Preferred Stock.  After payment of the foregoing preferential dividend to the holders of Preferred Shares, any further dividends shall be paid pro rata to the holders of the Preferred Shares, any other series of Preferred Stock, and the Common Stock, as declared by the Board of Directors on an as-converted basis.  Holders of Preferred Shares shall also be entitled to receive pro rata, on an as-converted basis, any non-cash dividends (other than those payable solely in the Common Stock of the Corporation).

(d)           Dividends on Conversion.  In the event of a conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 3, any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid at the election of the holder in cash or Common Stock at its then fair market value, as determined by the Board of Directors.

2.             Liquidation Preference.

(a)           Preference of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary (each a “Liquidation”), the Series A Holders, except as provided in Section 2(c) below, shall be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock, or other junior equity security by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $0.525 for each outstanding share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares), and (ii) an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on each such share (collectively, the “Series A Liquidation Amount”).

(b)           Preference of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.  In the event of a Liquidation, the Series A-1 Holders, except as provided in Section 2(c) below, shall be entitled to receive,  prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock, or other junior equity security by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $0.30 for each outstanding share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares), and (ii) an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on each such share (collectively, the “Series A-1 Liquidation Amount”)

(c)           Other Distributions.  If upon the occurrence of a Liquidation, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of




the Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective liquidation amounts.  After such preferential distribution to the holders of Preferred Shares, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Shares on a pro-rata basis, with such distribution to the Series A Holders as would have been payable had such shares been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 until with respect to (i) the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such holders have received an aggregate of $1.225 per share (including amounts paid pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2(a) and as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like)  and (ii) the holders of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, such holders have received an aggregate of $0.60 per share (including amounts paid pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2(b) and as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or the like); thereafter, subject to the rights of other series of stock that may from time to time come into existence, if assets remain in this Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock of this Corporation shall receive all the remaining assets of this Corporation pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each.

(d)           Valuation of Securities.  Any securities to be delivered to the holders of Preferred Shares and Common Stock pursuant to Sections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(c) above shall be valued as follows:

(i)            Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability:

(A)          If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;

(B)           If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and

(C)           If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(ii)           The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in clauses (i)(A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(iii)          If any Holder of Preferred Shares (an “Objecting Holder”) reasonably disagrees with such determination by the Board of Directors, the Objecting Holder shall deliver to the Company a notice of objection (the “Objection Notice”) within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of the Board of Directors’ determination.  Upon receipt of the Objection Notice, the Board of Directors and the Objecting Holders shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a fair market value for such securities.  If such agreement is not reached within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the first Objection Notice, the fair market value of such securities shall be determined by an appraiser jointly selected by the Board of Directors and




the Objecting Holders, which appraiser shall submit to the Board of Directors, and the Objecting Holder(s) a report within thirty (30) days of its engagement setting forth such determination.  If the parties are unable to agree on an appraiser within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the Company of the first Objection Notice, within seven (7) days thereafter, each of the Company on the one hand and the Objecting Holder(s) on the other shall submit the names of four nationally recognized investment banking firms, and each party shall be entitled to strike two names from the other party’s list of firms, and the appraiser shall be selected by lot from the remaining four investment banking firms.  The expenses of such appraiser shall borne by the party (either the Company, on the one hand, and pro ratably the Objecting Holder(s) on the other) whose fair market value determination when subtracted from the appraiser’s determination of fair market value has the greater absolute value; provided that, in the event that there is no difference between each party’s absolute value, the expenses of such appraiser shall be shared equally by the parties.  The determination of such appraiser as to fair market value shall be final and binding upon all parties.

(e)           The provisions of this Section 2 are in addition to the protective provisions of Section 6.

3.             Conversion.

(a) Conversion of Preferred Shares.  The holders of Preferred Shares shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Preferred Shares Conversion Rights”):

(i)            Right to Convert.  Subject to subsection (c), each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.35 (the “Original Series A Purchase Price”) per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends by the conversion price per share in effect at the time that the certificate is surrendered for conversion of any of the Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Price”).  Subject to subsection (c), each share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing $0.15 (the “Original Series A-1 Purchase Price”) per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends by the Conversion Price.  The initial Conversion Price per share for all of the Preferred Shares shall be $0.15.  The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection (c).

(ii)           Automatic Conversion.  Each share of the Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect for the Preferred Shares upon the earlier of (i) the date specified by vote or written consent or agreement of holders of more than fifty (50%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares; (ii) the conversion of more than sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the originally issued shares of Preferred Shares; or (iii) immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation’s Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under such Act or to an employee benefit plan of




the Corporation, at a public offering price (before underwriters’ discounts and expenses) of at least two dollars ($2.00) per share (adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations) and the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation and/or any selling share holders of which is equal to or exceeds Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (a “Qualified Public Offering”).  Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 3(a)(ii), the outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares 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 Company or its transfer agent; provided however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of the Preferred Shares are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.  Upon the occurrence of such an automatic conversion of the Preferred Shares, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares.  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 Preferred Shares surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

(iii)          Mechanics of Conversion.

(A)          Before any holder of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled voluntarily to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares to be converted and the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of the Preferred Shares, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(B)           If the conversion is in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of the Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

(b)           Special Definitions: For purposes of the following Sections 3(c) and Section 3(d), the following definitions apply:




(i)            “Options” shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities (defined below).

(ii)           “Original Series A Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was first issued.

(iii)          “Original Series A-1 Issue Date” shall mean the date on which a share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was first issued.

(iv)          “Convertible Securities” shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock.

(v)           “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Sections 3(c)(ii) and 3(d)(ii), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Series A Issue Date or Original Series A-1 Issue Date, as the case may be, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable:

(A)          Upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

(B)           (1) To employees, directors, consultants or advisors under the Corporation’s stock option, stock bonus or stock purchase plans or agreements or similar plans or agreements approved by the Board of Directors; (2) as equity issuances to strategic partners, including without limitation, lenders and bankers, as equity issuances for other strategic partnering purposes, including without limitation, equipment financings (provided that such issuances shall not be greater than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on a Fully-Diluted Basis in the aggregate); or (3) in acquisition transactions or other similar plans or arrangements, that are approved by the Board of Directors; or

(C)           As a dividend or distribution on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

(D)          “Fully-Diluted Basis” means had all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, been converted to Common Stock and all other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock been so converted, exercised or exchanged.

(c)           Adjustments to Preferred Share Conversion Price for Diluting Issuances.

(i)            No Adjustment of Preferred Share Conversion Price.  Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 3(e)) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date




of, and immediately prior to, such issue.

(ii)           Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Series A Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued:

(A)          No further adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Option or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(B)           If such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares);

(C)           Upon the expiration of any Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under Convertible Securities which have not been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

(1)           In the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, only the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange and

(2)           In the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received




by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 3(e)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(D)          No readjustment pursuant to clause (B) or (C) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price, on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

(E)           In the case of any Options that expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (C) above.

(F)           If any such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and shall instead be made on the actual date of issuance, if any.

(iii)          Adjustment of Preferred Share Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.  If the Corporation, at any time issues Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price applicable in such issuance.

(iv)          Adjustments to Preferred Share Conversion Price for Stock Dividends and for Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock.  In the event that the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Series A Issue Date or the Series A-1 Issue Date shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate.  In the event that the Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.




(v)           Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization.  If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 3(c)(iv) or [a merger or other reorganization referred to in Section 2(b)]), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Preferred Shares shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Shares immediately before that change.

(d)           Determination of Consideration.  For purposes of Section 3(c), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(i)            Cash and Property.  Such consideration shall:

(A)          Insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B)           Insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(C)           In the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(ii)           Options and Convertible Securities.  The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities shall be determined by dividing:

(A)          The total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; by

(B)           The maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion




or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e)           No Impairment.  The Corporation shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holders of Preferred Shares against impairment.

(f)            Certificates as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of the Preferred Shares, as the case may be, a certificate executed by the Corporation’s President or Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Shares furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

(g)           Notices of Record Date.  In the event that the Corporation shall propose at any time: (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus; (ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or (iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other Corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, the Corporation shall send to the Holders of Preferred Shares:

(i)            At least twenty (20) days’ prior notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above; and

(ii)           In the case of matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least twenty (20) days’ prior notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).

(i)            Issue Taxes.  The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall




not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.

(j)            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 Preferred Shares, 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 Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall 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, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.

(k)           Fractional Shares.  No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Shares.  All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Preferred Shares 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 a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

4.             Voting Rights.

(a)           Preferred Shares Voting Rights.  The holder of each share of the Preferred Shares shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Shares could be converted on the record date for the vote or written consent of shareholders.  In all cases any fractional share, determined on an aggregate conversion basis, shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  With respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock (except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, voting together with the Common Stock and all other series of Preferred Shares as a single class), and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation.

(b)           Common Stock Voting.  The Holder of each outstanding share of Common Stock shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held.

5.             Restrictions and Limitations.

(a)           The Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent by the holders of more than two thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares,




voting together as a single class:

(i)            Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Preferred Shares;

(ii)           File any Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a Certificate of Amendment or a Certificate of Designation, or enter into any agreement which would authorize or issue, or obligate the Corporation to issue, any other equity security senior to or on a parity with the Preferred Shares;

(iii)          Increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of any class of stock;

(iv)          Amend or waive any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in any way adversely affecting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

(v)           Declare payment or dividend on the Common Stock;

(vi)          Approve any merger, sale of substantially all the assets, liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, other than a transaction that results in a mere change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Corporation;

ARTICLE VI

The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

ARTICLE VII

The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE VIII

No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such person as a director.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or former director existing under this Article Eight with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE IX

Section 1Nature of Indemnity.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened




to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he (or a person of which he is the legal representative) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2 of this Article Nine, the Corporation shall not indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person unless such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

Section 2Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 1 of this Article Nine or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article Nine shall be made promptly and, in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer.  If a determination by the Corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article Nine is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within 30 days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request.  If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article Nine shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because such person met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has




not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3Nonexclusivity.  The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article Nine shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 4Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article Nine.

Section 5Expenses.  Unless the Board of Directors shall have determined that a person described in Section 1 of this Article Nine has failed to meet the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification under the Delaware General Corporation Law, expenses incurred by such person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.  Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

Section 6Employees and Agents.  Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article Nine and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 7Contract Rights.  The provisions of this Article Nine shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article Nine and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article Nine or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing.

Section 8Merger or Consolidation.  For purposes of this Article Nine, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article Nine with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such




constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

ARTICLE XI

The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Corporation’s Bylaws, except as may be otherwise be provided in the Bylaws or this Certificate.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, SURFECT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed and acknowledged by its President on this 12th day of May 2006.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.               Place and Time of Meetings.  An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held each year for the purpose of electing directors and conducting such other proper business as may come before the meeting.  The date, time and place of the annual meeting may be determined by resolution of the board of directors or as set by the president of the corporation.

Section 2.               Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders may be called for any purpose (including, without limitation, the filling of board vacancies and newly created directorships), and may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in a notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.  Such meetings may be called at any time by two or more members of the board of directors or the president and shall be called by the president upon the written request of holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 30% of the outstanding shares of any series or class of the corporation’s capital stock.

Section 3.               Place of Meetings.  The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of directors.  If no designation is made, or if a special meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive office of the corporation.

Section 4.               Notice.  Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take action at a meeting, written or printed notice stating the place, date, time, and, in the case of special




meetings, the purpose or purposes, of such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.  All such notices shall be delivered, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the board of directors, the president or the secretary, and if mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as the same appears on the records of the corporation.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5.               Stockholders List.  The officer having charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make, at least ten days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days before the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

Section 6.               Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders.  If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time in accordance with Section 7 of this Article II, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

Section 7.               Adjourned Meetings.  When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 8.               Vote Required.  When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.  Where a separate vote by class is required, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class.

Section 9.               Voting Rights.  Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by the certificate of incorporation of the corporation or any




amendments thereto, and subject to Article VI, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held by such stockholder.

Section 10.             Proxies.  Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him, her or it by proxy.  Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder granting the proxy or by his, her or its attorney-in-fact.  No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.  A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.

Section 11.             Action by Written Consent.  Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation’s principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; provided, however, that no consent or consents delivered by certified or registered mail shall be deemed delivered until such consent or consents are actually received at the registered office.  All consents properly delivered in accordance with this Section 11 shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered.  No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this Section 11, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded.  Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.  Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

Section 12.             Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings.  In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting.  If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting




is held.  A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 13.             Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent.  In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors.  If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 14.             Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes.  In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action.  If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 18.             Vacancies.  Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation or any amendments thereto, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office.  Each director so chosen shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as herein provided.

Section 19.             Annual Meetings.  The annual meeting of each newly elected board of directors shall be held without notice other than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 21.             Quorum, Required Vote and Adjournment.  A majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  The vote of a majority of directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors.  If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the board of directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

Section 22.             Committees.  The board of directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation, which to the extent provided in such resolution or these bylaws shall have and may exercise the powers of the board of directors in the management and affairs of the corporation except as otherwise limited by law.  The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.  Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by




the board of directors.  Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the board of directors when required.

Section 23.             Committee Rules.  Each committee of the board of directors may fix its own rules of procedure and shall hold its meetings as provided by such rules, except as may otherwise be provided by a resolution of the board of directors designating such committee.  Unless otherwise provided in such a resolution, the presence of at least a majority of the members of the committee shall be necessary to constitute a quorum.  In the event that a member and that member’s alternate, if alternates are designated by the board of directors as provided in Section 8 of this Article III, of such committee is or are absent or disqualified, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Section 24.             Communications Equipment.  Members of the board of directors or any committee thereof may participate in and act at any meeting of such board or committee through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 10 shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

Section 25.             Waiver of Notice and Presumption of Assent.  Any member of the board of directors or any committee thereof who is present at a meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have waived notice of such meeting except when such member attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Such member shall be conclusively presumed to have assented to any action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless his or her written dissent to such action shall be filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall be forwarded by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.  Such right to dissent shall not apply to any member who voted in favor of such action.

Section 26.             Action by Written Consent.  Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee.

Section 38.             Nature of Indemnity.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,




employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article V, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation.  The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Section s 2 and 5 of this Article V, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.  The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

Section 39.             Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer.  If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request.  If the corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation.  It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation.  Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.




Section 40.             Nonexclusivity.  The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 41.             Insurance.  The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V.

Section 42.             Expenses.  Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.  Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

Section 43.             Employees and Agents.  Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors.

Section 44.             Contract Rights.  The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing.

Section 45.             Merger or Consolidation.  For purposes of this Article V, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.




ARTICLE VI

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 46.             Form.  Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairman of the board, the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the corporation.  If such a certificate is countersigned (a)  by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (b) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such chairman of the board, president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles.  In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation.  All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified.  The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation.  Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps.  In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books.  The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation.

Section 47.             Lost Certificates.  The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed.  When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 48.             Subscriptions for Stock.  Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors.  Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series.  In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when




such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 49.             Dividends.  Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law.  Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.  Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 50.             Checks, Drafts or Orders.  All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 51.             Contracts.  The board of directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, of the corporation to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 52.             Loans.  The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation.  The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation.  Nothing in this Section 4 contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

Section 53.             Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 54.             Corporate Seal.  The board of directors may provide a corporate seal which shall be in the form of a circle and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.”  The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

Section 55.             Voting Securities Owned By Corporation.  Voting securities in any other corporation held by the corporation shall be voted by the president, unless the board of directors




specifically confers authority to vote with respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific instances, upon some other person or officer.  Any person authorized to vote securities shall have the power to appoint proxies, with general power of substitution.

Section 56.             Inspection of Books and Records.  Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  A proper purpose shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder.  In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder.  The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its principal place of business.

Section 57.             Section Headings.  Section headings in these bylaws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

Section 58.             Inconsistent Provisions.  In the event that any provision of these bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the certificate of incorporation, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law, the provision of these bylaws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.

Section 59.             Amendments.  These bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed and new bylaws adopted at any meeting of the board of directors by a majority vote and in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.  The fact that the power to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the same powers.
