     Effective at 12:01 A.M. on November 22, 2005 (the “Effective Time”), each forty (40) shares of old Common Stock (and each option, warrant, and all other securities convertible into shares of old Common Stock that represent the right to acquire forty (40) shares of old Common Stock) of the Corporation issued and outstanding or held as treasury shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) shall automatically be reclassified and continued (the “Reverse Split”) without any action on the part of the holder thereof, as one (1) share of new Common Stock (or as an option, warrant, or other security convertible into shares of new Common Stock, into the right to acquire one (1) share of new Common Stock, as the case may be). The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares on account of the Reverse Split.

No interest shall be payable on the Cash-In-Lieu Amount.
