the Warrants.




          2.3 Authorization, Validity and Enforceability. The Company has all requisite
corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and to carry out the transactions

Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants will not, (a)
violate any material provision of law, or (b) conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the
terms of, or constitute a default under, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its bylaws or
any material agreement, instrument or other restriction to which the Company is a party or by which

-3-

subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the indemnification provisions contained herein
or in the documents executed in connection herewith are limited by applicable laws and principles
of public policy.




          2.4 Government Consents, etc. Except for the consent required pursuant to the
 Certificate of Designation for the issuance of the Series C-2 Preferred Stock as

Restated Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. There is
no injunction, order, decree, ruling or charge in effect preventing the performance of this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.




          2.5 Securities Laws. Subject to the truth and accuracy each Purchasers
representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the
Preferred Stock and the Warrants, and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants, as provided in this Agreement, is and is
intended to be: (i) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof (or in the case of conversion of the Preferred Stock or “cashless” exercise of
the Warrants, Section 3(a)(9)), and (ii) registered, qualified or exempt from the registration or
qualification requirements of applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company nor, to the
Company’s knowledge, anyone acting on its behalf has taken or hereafter will take any action that
would cause the loss of such exemptions.




          2.6 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Company contained in this
Agreement or any certificate or other instrument referred to herein or otherwise furnished or to be
furnished to the Purchasers by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby,
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact
which is necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, not misleading in
light of the circumstances in which they were made. There is no fact known to the Company relating
to the business, affairs, operations, condition or prospects of the Company which materially
adversely affects the same and which has not been disclosed to the Purchasers.




     III. Representations and Warranties of each Purchaser.



          Each Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company as follows:




-4-









 








          3.1 Experience; Risk. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
purchase of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement and of protecting such
Purchaser’s interests in connection therewith. Such Purchaser is able to fend for itself in the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risk of the
investment, including complete loss of the investment. Such Purchaser is experienced in evaluating
and investing in new companies such as the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s
industry and competition.




          3.2 Investment. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Stock and the Warrants for
investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of any federal or state securities laws,
subject, however, to the disposition of such Purchaser’s property being at all times within its
control, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. Such Purchaser understands that the shares of Preferred Stock and
the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption
from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the investment intent and the truth and accuracy of such Purchaser’s
representations as expressed herein.




          3.3 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that the shares of Preferred
Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock and
the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof will be “restricted
securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company
in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable
regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in
certain limited circumstances. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the securities must be held
indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available.




          3.4 Access to Data. Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s
business, management and financial affairs with the Company’s management and the opportunity to
review the Company’s facilities and has received all information requested from the Company
regarding the investment in the Company.




          3.5 Further Limitations on Disposition. Neither the Preferred Stock or the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable thereof have
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any state securities
laws. Therefore, in order, among other things, to insure compliance with the Act, notwithstanding
anything else in this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation or the
Warrants to contrary, such Purchaser, including any successive transferee, agrees as follows:




-5-









 







Such Purchaser shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or dispose
of all or any portion of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof
or the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
Purchaser may transfer all or any portion of the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof or the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable thereof (a) as part of a registered
public offering of the Company’s securities or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, (b) by pledge
that creates a mere security interest in all or any portion of the Preferred Stock or the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable therefrom,
provided that the pledgee thereof agrees in writing in advance to be bound by and comply with all
applicable provisions this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation or the
Warrants to the same extent as if it were the Holder making such pledge, (c) to any member of such
Purchaser, or to any siblings, ancestors, descendants or spouse of any member of such Purchaser, or
any custodian or trustee for the account of such member or the account of such siblings, ancestors,
descendants or spouse of such member (or any combination of the foregoing), or (d) to an affiliate
or partner of such Purchaser, provided, in each such case (other than a transfer under clause (a)
above) a transferee shall receive and hold all or any portion of the Preferred Stock or the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable therefrom
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation or
the Warrants and there shall be no further transfer except in accordance herewith or therewith. No
party will avoid the provisions of this Agreement, the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Designation or the Warrants by making one or more transfers to an affiliate of such party and then
disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in such affiliate; provided, however, that
in any event, the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the
Warrants or the Common Stock issuable therefrom may not (other than in connection with the matters
described in Section 3.5(a) through Section 3.5(d) (inclusive)) be sold or transferred in the
absence of registration under the Act unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to it stating that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that a
disposition made in reliance upon Rule 144 will not require an opinion of counsel.




          3.6 Legends. It is understood that each certificate representing the Preferred Stock
purchased pursuant hereto, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such
Preferred Stock and the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, and
any securities issued in respect thereof or exchange therefor shall bear legends in the following
forms (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws or other
agreement):





“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN IN
RELIANCE UPON RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT) IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION UNLESS THE



-6-









 







COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING
THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
SUCH ACT.”



          3.7 Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.




     IV. Conditions to the Purchasers’ Obligations at Closing.



          The obligations of the Purchasers under Article I of this Agreement are subject to the
fulfillment, or the waiver by the Purchasers of the following conditions on or before the Closing
Date:




          4.1 Representations and Warranties; Covenants and Agreements. The representations and
warranties of the Company set forth in Article II hereof shall be true and correct in all material
respects as of the Closing Date, and the Company shall have complied in all material respects with
all covenants and agreements set forth herein and in any documents executed or delivered in
connection herewith (including, without limitation, with respect to any previously issued Preferred
Stock and/or Warrants), and satisfied in all material respects all conditions on its part to be
performed or satisfied on or prior to the Closing.




          4.2 Certificates and Documents. The Company shall have delivered to each Purchaser:




               (a) On or prior to the Closing, a certificate executed by an authorized officer of the Company
to the effect that each of the conditions specified in Section 4.1 and Section 4.2 (as applicable)
has been satisfied; and



               (b) On or prior to the Closing, such other documentation as the Purchasers shall reasonably
have requested regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.



     V. Conditions to the Company’s Obligations at Closing.



          The obligations of the Company under Article I of this Agreement are subject to fulfillment,
or the waiver by the Company, on or before the Closing of each of the following:




          5.1 Representations and Warranties; Covenants. The representations and warranties of
each Purchaser set forth in Article III hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects

performed or complied with on or prior to the Closing.




-7-









 








     VI. Registration Rights. The Company covenants and agrees with each Purchaser as
follows:



          6.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6:




               (a) The term “Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.



               (b) The term “Holder” means any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable
Securities or any assignee thereof.



               (c) The term “1934 Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



               (d) The term “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by
preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Act, and
the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or document.



               (e) The term “Registrable Securities” means the Common Stock issuable or issued to Holders
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants. The number of shares of
“Registrable Securities” outstanding shall be determined by the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding that are, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to then
exercisable or convertible securities that are, Registrable Securities.



                    (i) The term “SEC” shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission.



          6.2 Request for Registration.




               (a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 6.2, if the Company shall receive at any time a
written request from the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the
“Initiating Holders”), that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the
registration of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall, within twenty (20) days of the
receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations
of this Section 6.2, use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the
registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered
in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days of the mailing of the
Company’s notice pursuant to this Section 6.2(a).



               (b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their
request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request
made pursuant to this Section 6.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written
notice referred to in Section 6.2(a). In such event the



-8-









 




right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned
upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in
interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by
the Company (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority of the
Holders proposing to distribute securities through such underwriting). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 6.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities),
then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting
shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the
number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the
registration.




               (c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 6.2:



                    (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general
consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or



                    (ii) after the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 6.2, and
such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; or



                    (iii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good
faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days
following the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration subject to Section 6.3 below,
provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; or



                    (iv) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to
this Section 6.2, a certificate stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such
registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right
to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of
the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that such right to delay a request shall be
exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.



          6.3 Company Registration.




-9-









 








               (a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for
this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of
its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such
securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in
a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction
under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of
the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the
Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon
the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by
the Company in accordance herewith, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(c),
use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the
Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.



               (b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or
withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 6.3 prior to the effectiveness of such
registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The
expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section
6.6 hereof.



               (c) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this
Section 6.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the
terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it
(or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in
such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the
success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable
Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion
is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in
the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the
underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering
(the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the
total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such
other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders), but in no event shall
any shares being sold by a stockholder exercising a demand registration right similar to that
granted in Section 6.2 be excluded from such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical
concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities
and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such
Holder, or the estates and family members of



-10-









 




any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing
persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to
such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by
all such related entities and individuals.




          6.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 6 to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:




               (a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
registered thereunder, use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement
effective for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days or, if earlier, until the
distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed;



               (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement;



               (c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;



               (d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such
registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;



               (e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering;



               (f) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or 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 omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances then existing;

               (g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and



               (h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration.



          6.5 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of
the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 6 with respect to the Registrable
Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.




          6.6 Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and
commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to
Sections 6.2 and 6.3, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification
fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the
Company.




          6.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy
that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 6.




          6.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under this Section 6:




               (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,
the partners or officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants
for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any,
who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under
the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements
thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation
or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule
or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws; and the Company
will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or



-12-









 




controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 6.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.




               (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement,
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, legal counsel and
accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such
registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons
may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for
use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 6.8, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
6.8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this
subsection 6.8 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.



               (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.8 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.8,
deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one
counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if



-13-









 




prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
under this Section 6.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
this Section 6.8.




               (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.8 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party
or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.



               (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the
underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.



               (f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 6.8 shall survive the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section
6, and otherwise.



     VII. Miscellaneous.

EXHIBIT A




Form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation







 











 





AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

OF THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES

OF

THE SERIES C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

OF

HOME SOLUTIONS OF AMERICA, INC.




     The undersigned, the Chief Executive Officer of Home Solutions of America, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board of Directors”) by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the
“Certificate of Incorporation”), the following resolution modifying an existing series of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, was duly adopted as of July 3, 2008:



     WHEREAS, on June 11, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the filing of a Certificate of
Designation (the “Original Certificate of Designation”) to designate three hundred and fifty
thousand (350,000) shares of Preferred Stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock;



     WHEREAS, three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) shares of such Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock were purchased pursuant to a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June
11, 2008 between the Company and the purchaser party thereto;



     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Original Certificate of Designation has not been filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;



     WHEREAS, the Company will file the Original Certificate of Designation prior to filing this
Amended Restated Certificate of Designation, and this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Designation will amend and restate such Original Certificate of Designation;



     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has approved the exchange of the three hundred and fifty
thousand (350,000) shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to the
aforementioned Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement for an equal number of shares of Series C-1
Convertible Preferred Stock (as such Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is more particularly
described herein);



     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT:



     RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of
Directors by provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock of the
Company be created and that the designation and amount thereof and the powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of such series, and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:



     1. Designation and Rank.



 









 





     The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall be (i) the Series C-1 Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series C-1 Preferred Stock”), and the number of
shares so designated shall be six hundred (600,000) shares, and (ii) the Series C-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series C-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the
Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares so designated
shall be three hundred thousand (300,000) shares. The Board of Directors may, subject to the terms
hereof, increase or decrease the number of Series C Preferred Stock hereafter, so long as the
number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not fall below the number of shares of such
series then outstanding. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and
rights on liquidation, dissolution and winding-up, rank senior to all other classes or series of
stock, equity or equity-linked securities of the Company (the “Junior Stock”).



     2. Dividends.



          (a) Payment of Dividends. From and after the date of the issuance (the “Issuance
Date”) of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall receive with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock, out of funds legally
available for the payment of dividends, a cumulative dividend (the “Dividend Payment”) in an amount
equal to the greater of (x) dividends at a rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum based on the
Liquidation Preference Amount (as defined in Section 4 hereof), and (y) dividends that would have
accrued with respect to such share of Series C Preferred Stock during the applicable Dividend
Period (as defined below) if the holder of such share had converted such share into Common Stock
immediately prior to the record date of any dividend declared on the Common Stock in such Dividend
Period. Any Dividend Payment referred to in clause (y) above shall be deemed to have accrued with
respect to a share of Series C Preferred Stock as of the last day of the applicable Dividend
Period. Dividend Payments on a share of Series C Preferred Stock shall accrue and shall be
cumulative whether or not declared from the date of issue of such share of Series C Preferred Stock
and shall be paid by the Company quarterly in arrears (to the extent funds are legally available
therefor) on the first of July, October, January and April (each such quarterly period, a “Dividend
Period”) in cash or, at the option of a holder of the Series C Preferred Stock, in shares of Common
Stock, in an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the Dividend Payment divided by (ii) the
Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(c) hereof). The Dividend Payment shall accrue from day
to day, whether or not earned or declared, and shall be cumulative. In the case of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock outstanding for less than a full year, dividends shall be pro rated based
on the portion of each year during which such shares are outstanding. The Company shall be under
no obligation to pay any such dividends to the extent that funds are not legally available
therefor. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are prior and in preference to any declaration
or payment of any dividend or distribution (as defined below) on any shares of Junior Stock.



          (b) So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not
declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make any distribution on any Junior Stock
(other than dividends or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock), unless at the time of
such dividend or distribution the Company shall have paid all accrued and unpaid dividends on the
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.



2









 





          (c) In the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company pursuant to
Section 4, all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall be payable on the
day immediately preceding the date of payment of the preferential amount to the holders of Series C
Preferred Stock. In the event of a Conversion Failure Redemption pursuant to Section 9, all
accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock shall, at the election of the holder,
be payable on the day immediately preceding the date of such redemption. In the event of a
conversion pursuant to Section 5(a), all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred
Stock being converted shall, at the election of the holder, be payable on the day immediately
preceding the Conversion Date (as defined in Section 5(b)(i)).



          (d) For purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, “distribution” shall mean the
transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise,
payable other than in shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or the
purchase or redemption of shares of the Company (other than redemptions set forth in Section 8
below or upon the cashless exercise of options held by employees or consultants as of the date
hereof) for cash or property.



     3. Voting Rights.



          (a) Class Voting Rights. The Series C Preferred Stock shall have the following class
voting rights (in addition to the voting rights set forth in Section 3(b) hereof). So long as any
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the
affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 51% of the shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting: (i)
authorize, create, issue or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of
stock, including but not limited to the issuance of any shares of previously authorized Common
Stock or Preferred Stock, whether or not ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Stock with
respect to dividends and/or the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up;
(ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series C Preferred Stock, whether by merger,
consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting
power of the Series C Preferred Stock; (iii) repurchase, redeem or pay dividends on, shares of the
Company’s Junior Stock; (iv) amend the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company so as
to adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series C Preferred Stock; (v)
effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock; (vi) reclassify the Company’s outstanding
securities; or (vii) issue any securities senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock.



          (b) General Voting Rights. In addition to the transactions upon which the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class pursuant to Section 3(a) above, and
to such other voting rights as the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled under Delaware
law, each holder of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the
number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series
C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.



     4. Liquidation Preference.



3









 





          (a) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for
distribution to its stockholders, and before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to
the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock an amount per share (the “Liquidation
Preference Amount”) equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends attributable to such share plus the
greater of (i) $10.00 per share of the Series C Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment
in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization
affecting the number of such shares issued and outstanding), or (ii) the per share amount that
holders of Series C Preferred Stock would have received if all of such holders had converted their
shares of Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the
Liquidation Preference Amount, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on
such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. The liquidation payment with respect
to each outstanding fractional share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably
proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of Series C
Preferred Stock. All payments for which this Section 4(a) provides shall be in cash, property
(valued at its fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to
the holders of a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof. For the
avoidance of doubt, no cash shall be paid or distributed to holders of Junior Stock unless each
holder of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full
Liquidation Preference Amount to which such holder is entitled as provided herein. After payment
of the full Liquidation Preference Amount, such holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock will
not be entitled to any further participation as such in any distribution of the assets of the
Company.



          (b) A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other entity, or a sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a
transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the
Company is disposed of or conveyed, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
within the meaning of this Section 4 and referred to herein as a “Deemed Liquidation Event”),
subject to the rights of the holders to receive the greater of the Applicable Redemption Price per
Share (as defined below) or the Liquidation Preference Amount per share, unless elected otherwise
by the holders of greater than 51% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock
voting together as a single class. Subject to a holder’s rights in this Certificate of
Designation, in the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity
that does not constitute a Deemed Liquidation Event (including, without limitation, by election of
the holders), the Series C Preferred Stock shall maintain its relative powers, designations and
preferences provided for herein and no merger or consolidation shall result inconsistent therewith.



          (c) The Company shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless, in
connection with such deemed Liquidation Event, the Company adopts a plan of distribution that is in
accordance with applicable law and in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of greater
than 51% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single
class, providing that the consideration received for such Deemed



4









 







Liquidation Event, and any other assets of the Company, be distributed to the Company’s
stockholders in accordance with Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) above by effecting a dissolution of
the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a redemption of the Company’s capital stock
or other means of distribution approved by the holders of greater than 51% of the then outstanding
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.



          (d) Written notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the
affairs or Deemed Liquidation Event of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where the
distributable amounts shall be payable, shall be given, no less than forty-five (45) days prior to
the date of the consummation of such event, to the holders of record of the Series C Preferred
Stock.



     5. Conversion; Additional Issues. The holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have
the following conversion rights (the “Conversion Rights”):



          (a) Right to Convert. At any time on or after the Issuance Date, the holder of any
such shares of Series C Preferred Stock may, at such holder’s option, elect to convert (a
“Conversion”) all or any portion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such person into
a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the
Liquidation Preference Amount of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted (which, to
the extent that the holder elects to be paid accrued dividends in cash as contemplated by Section
2(c), shall exclude such accrued dividends) divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined in
Section 5(c) below) then in effect as of the date of the delivery by such holder of its notice of
election to convert. In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series C Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption
shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for
redemption (which, in the connection with any redemption by the Company pursuant to Section 8(a),
shall not be earlier than forty-five (45) days after the Company has given the notice provided for
in this Section 5(a)), unless the redemption price is not paid on such redemption date, in which
case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the
event of a liquidation, dissolution winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event of the Company, the
Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date
fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series C
Preferred Stock. In the event of a redemption or liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed
Liquidation Event, the Company shall provide to each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
notice of such redemption or liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event,
which notice shall (i) be sent at least forty-five (45) days prior to the termination of the
Conversion Rights and (ii) state the applicable Redemption Date (as hereinafter defined) and the
Applicable Redemption Price (as hereinafter defined) that will be paid or distributed on such
redemption or liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event, as the case may be.



          (b) Mechanics of Conversion. The Conversion of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
conducted in the following manner:



               (i) Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert Series C Preferred Stock into full
shares of Common Stock on any date (the “Conversion Date”), the holder



5









 







thereof shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to
5:00 p.m., New York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”), to the Company, and (B) surrender
to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such Conversion
Date but in no event later than three (3) business days after such date the original certificates
representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted (or an indemnification
undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the
“Preferred Stock Certificates”) and the originally executed Conversion Notice.



               (ii) Company’s Response. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a
Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of
such Conversion Notice to such holder. Upon receipt by the Company of a copy of the fully executed
Conversion Notice, the Company or its designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), as
applicable, shall, within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of
the fully executed Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred Stock Certificates and
original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such third business day), issue
and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in
the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
holder shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred
Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event
later than three (3) business days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the
Company’s expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock not converted.



               (iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation
of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall (or, if
applicable, cause its Transfer Agent to) promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of
Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the holder via
facsimile as soon as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of
such holder’s Conversion Notice. If such holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
arithmetic calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion
within one (1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder,
then the Company shall within one (1) business day submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the
Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the
calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72)
hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant’s calculation shall be
binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable expenses of such accountant in
making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the holder’s calculation was
correct, or by the holder, in the event the Company’s calculation was correct, or equally by the
Company and the holder in the event that neither the Company’s or the holder’s calculation was
correct. The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions or redemptions
under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled with respect to the subject conversion or
redemption pending



6









 







resolution of any dispute by the Company made in good faith and in accordance with this
Section 5(b)(iii).



               (iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.



               (v) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within three (3) business days of the
Company’s receipt of an executed copy of the Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred
Stock Certificates and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such
third business day) (the “Share Delivery Period”) the Transfer Agent shall fail to issue and
deliver to a holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such
holder’s conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or to issue a new Preferred Stock Certificate
representing the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) (a “Conversion Failure”), in addition to all other available remedies
which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
June 11, 2008 and the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements dated July 3, 2008 for an aggregate of
300,000 shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock (each a “Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the
“Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
(including indemnification pursuant to the terms thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages
to such holder on each business day after such third (3rd) business day that such conversion is not
timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5% of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
not issued to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) and to which such holder is
entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the
holder on a timely basis pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii), the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred
Stock Certificate, as of the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Preferred
Stock Certificate to such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii), times (B) the Closing Bid
Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock on the last possible date which the Company
could have issued such Common Stock and such Preferred Stock Certificate, as the case may be, to
such holder without violating Section 5(b)(ii). For the purposes hereof, “Closing Bid Price” means
the last closing bid price per share on the registered national stock exchange on which the
security is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the closing bid price on
such exchange on the date nearest preceding such date, or if such security is not listed on a
registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price for a share of such security in the over
the counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau
Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its function of reporting prices) at
the close of business on such date. If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for such
security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such
date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holders of 51% of
the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock. If the Company fails to pay the additional
damages set forth in this Section 5(b)(v) within five (5) business days of the date incurred, then
such payments shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (pro rated for partial months)
until such payments are made.



7









 





          (c) Conversion Price.



               (i) The term “Conversion Price” shall mean $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment under
Section 5(d) hereof. Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, at no time (other than adjustments
pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)) shall the Conversion Price be greater than $1.00 per share.



               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a “Black-out
Period”), a holder of Series C Preferred Stock is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock immediately due to the postponement of
filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of a registration statement or because the Company
has otherwise informed such holder of Series C Preferred Stock that an existing prospectus cannot
be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such postponement,
delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not due to factors solely within
the control of the holder of Series C Preferred Stock or due to the Company exercising its rights
under Section VI of the applicable Purchase Agreement, such holder of Series C Preferred Stock
shall have the option but not the obligation on any Conversion Date within ten (10) trading days
following the expiration of the Black-out Period of using the Conversion Price applicable on such
Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by such holder of Series C Preferred Stock that
would have been applicable had such Conversion Date been at any earlier time during the Black-out
Period or within the ten (10) trading days thereafter.



          (d) Adjustments of Conversion Price.



               (i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time
or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock,
the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from
time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 5(d)(i)
shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes
effective.



               (ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any
time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased
as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:




	 	(1)	 	the numerator of
which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
time of such issuance or the close of business on such
record date; and




8









 






	 	(2)	 	the denominator
of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
time of such issuance or the close of business on such
record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.





               (iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any
time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an
appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made
(by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had
their Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had
thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date,
retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period),
giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5(d)(iii)
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock; provided, however, that
if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such
distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and
provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of
Series C Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a dividend or other distribution of shares of
Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received
if all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the
date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other distribution of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
which are convertible, as of the date of such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as
is equal to the number of additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share
of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution.



               (iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time after the
Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of
stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a
stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 5(d)(i), (ii) and
(iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section
5(d)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made
and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the
holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such
share of Series C Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number
of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock might have been
converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all
subject to further adjustment as provided herein.



9









 





               (v) Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. Subject
to the provisions of Section 4, if at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there
shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination
of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 5(d)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a
reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 5(d)(iv)), or a merger
or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding
voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding
voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any
other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision
to the Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by
adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series C
Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series C Preferred Stock
into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any
successor corporation resulting from Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5(d)(v) with respect to the
rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to the end that the
provisions of this Section 5(d)(v) (including any adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect
and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of the Series C
Preferred Stock) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be
practicable.



               (vi) Adjustments for Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.



                    (A) In the event the Company, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any
additional shares of Common Stock (other than as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through
(v) of this Section 5(d)) (the “Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share less than
the Conversion Price, or without consideration, the Conversion Price then in effect upon each such
issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying
the Conversion Price by a fraction:




	 	(1)	 	the numerator of
which shall be equal to the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded
to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate
consideration for the total number of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a
price per share equal to the then Conversion Price, and
	 
	 	(2)	 	the denominator
of which shall be equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance
of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.




10









 










No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock shall be made under paragraph (A) of Section
5(d)(vi) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to
the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise
of any conversion or exchange rights in any Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below), if any
such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights
or upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other
rights therefore) pursuant to Section 5(d)(vii).




               (vii) Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company, at any time after the
Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or
indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Series C Preferred Stock, or
any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities,
shall be issued or sold (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) and the aggregate of the
price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to
such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such
Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share Price”) shall be less than the Conversion
Price, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which
Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price
as so amended or adjusted shall make the Aggregate Per Common Share Price be less than Conversion
Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the Conversion Price then in
effect shall be adjusted pursuant to Section (5)(d)(vi) above assuming that all Additional Shares
of Common Stock have been issued pursuant to the Convertible Securities or Common Stock Equivalents
for a purchase price equal to the Aggregate Per Common Share Price. No adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of any Convertible
Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase
rights therefore, if any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such
warrants then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this
subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common
Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock
Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or
purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock



               (viii) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities other than the Series C Preferred Stock, or any rights or warrants or options to
purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold:




	 	(1)	 	in connection
with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is
the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation
or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or
exchanged for the stock or other securities of another
corporation), the amount of consideration therefore
shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined
reasonably and in good faith by the Board of




11









 






	 	 	 	Directors of the Company, of such portion of the
assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation
as such Board may determine to be attributable to
such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities,
rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	in the event of
any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the
previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock
or other securities of another corporation, or in the
event of any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company for stock or other securities of
any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have
issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock
or securities or other property of the other corporation
computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on
which the transaction was predicated, and for a
consideration equal to the fair market value on the date
of such transaction of all such stock or securities or
other property of the other corporation. If any such
calculation results in adjustment of the applicable
Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred
Stock, the determination of the applicable Conversion
Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale,
shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. In the
event any consideration received by the Company for any
securities consists of property other than cash, the
fair market value thereof at the time of issuance or as
otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the
event Common Stock is issued with other shares or
securities or other assets of the Company for
consideration which covers both, the consideration
computed as provided in this Section (5)(d)(viii) shall
be allocated among such securities and assets as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company.




12









 











               (ix) Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common
Stock or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.



               (x) Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price upon (i) the Company’s
issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of another
business by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets of such other
business or other reorganization, in each instance under arrangements approved by the Board of
Directors, (ii) the Company’s issuance of equity to Frank Fradella pursuant to the Employment
Agreement between the Company and Frank Fradella, or the Company’s issuance of equity to the
Company’s lender or lenders pursuant to that certain Forbearance Agreement dated as of February 6,
2008 among the Company and the lender parties thereto, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated
June 4, 2008 and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated as of July 3, 2008 among the Company and the lender
parties thereto, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock, or the issuance or grants of options
to purchase Common Stock, pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase
plans as they now exist, (iv) any issuances of warrants issued pursuant to the applicable Purchase
Agreements, and (v) the payment of any dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock.



          (e) No Impairment. The Company 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 Company,
but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Certificate of Designation 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 the Series C Preferred Stock against
impairment. In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock as
provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or any
one associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless, an
injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of said
shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for
the benefit of such holder in an amount equal to 130% of the Liquidation Preference Amount of the
Series C Preferred Stock such holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect
until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be
payable to such holder in the event it obtains judgment.



          (f) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Company at its expense shall
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to
each holder of such Series C Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment and
readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The
Company shall, within three (3) days of a written request of the holder of Series C Preferred
Stock, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth all
adjustments and readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the



13









 







number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which
at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such Series C Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless
such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the
Conversion Price for the last certificate issued by the Company pursuant to this Section 5(f),
provided that the Company provides notice to the holder (within the three (3) day time period) of
such fact.



          (g) Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding
federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant thereto;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer
taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.



          (h) Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) on the day of delivery, if delivered
personally, (b) three (3) business days following being mailed by certified or registered mail,
postage prepaid, return-receipt requested, or (c) one (1) day after deposited with a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, in each instance (as applicable)
addressed to the Company at its principal place of business or to the holder of record at its
address appearing on the books of the Company. The Company and the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock may change their addresses for notice from time to time upon notice in compliance
with this Section 5(h). The Company will give written notice to each holder of Series C Preferred
Stock at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or
takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with
respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining
rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, Deemed Liquidation Event, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to
such information being made known to the public. The Company will also give written notice to each
holder of Series C Preferred Stock at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which any
Organic Change, Deemed Liquidation Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up will take place
and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made
known to the public.



          (i) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5)
consecutive trading immediately preceding the Conversion Date.



          (j) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series C
Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock,
such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all of the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding; provided that the
number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than



14









 







120% of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock
are at any time convertible. The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions
of the Series C Preferred Stock and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be
allocated pro rata among the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock based on the number of shares
of Series C Preferred Stock held by each holder of record at the time of issuance of the Series C
Preferred Stock or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be. In the event a
holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock,
each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common
Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and which remain allocated
to any person or entity which does not hold any shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
allocated to the remaining holders of Series C Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of
shares of Series C Preferred Stock then held by such holder.



          (k) Retirement of Series C Preferred Stock. Conversion of Series C Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to have been effected on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a
portion of the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by a certificate
surrendered for conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder at the expense of
the Company, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered as required by Section
5(b)(ii).



          (l) Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the
purpose of conversion of Series C Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval
of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state
law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon
conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as
possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.



     6. No Preemptive Rights. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof and in the Purchase
Agreements, no holder of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to rights to subscribe for,
purchase or receive any part of any new or additional shares of any class, whether now or
hereinafter authorized, or of bonds or debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of any class, but all such new or additional shares of any class,
or any bond, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness convertible into or exchangeable for
shares, may be issued and disposed of, subject to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, by
the Board of Directors on such terms and for such consideration (to the extent permitted by law),
and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.



     7. Intentionally Omitted.



     8. Redemption.



          (a) Redemption by the Company. Except as set forth in this Section 8(a), the Company
shall not have the right to call or redeem at any time all or any shares of Series C Preferred
Stock. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, at any time (subject to
the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designation), in whole or in part



15









 







out of funds lawfully available therefore. The price per share price for any redemption
pursuant to this Section 8 shall be equal to $12.50 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in
the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization
affecting the number of such shares issued and outstanding), plus the amount of aggregate dividends
accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but
unpaid thereon (collectively, with respect to a holder, the “Applicable Redemption Price”, and with
respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder, the “Applicable Redemption
Price Per Share”), provided that any shares of the Series C-2 Preferred Stock may be
redeemed by the Company within 90 days of the issuance thereof for a price equal to $11.00 per
share, (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the number of such shares issued and
outstanding), plus the amount of aggregate dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not
declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon. For the avoidance of
doubt, in the event of any proposed redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 8(a), the
Company shall provide the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock with the notice required pursuant
to Section 5(a) and permit such holders to convert such Series C Preferred Stock (or a portion
thereof) for a minimum period of forty-five (45) days from the date that the Company gives such
notice.



          (b) Redemption Option by Holder. In addition to all other rights of holders of Series
C Preferred Stock contain herein, simultaneously with the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as
defined below), after a Triggering Event (as defined below), or at any time after June 15, 2013,
each holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem for
cash all or a portion of such holder’s shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share of
Series C Preferred Stock equal to the Applicable Redemption Price Per Share. At the option of the
holder of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay the Applicable Redemption Price in
shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Price then in effect on the date preceding the date
of delivery of the applicable notice of redemption.



          (c) Certain Defined Terms. For the purposes of this Section 8:




          (i) a “Major Transaction” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any
one of the following events: (A) the consolidation, merger or other business
combination of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the sale or transfer of
more than 50% of the Company’s assets in one or a related series of transactions, or
(C) the closing of a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.




          (ii) a “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any
of the following events:




     (A) the Company’s notice to any holder of Series C Preferred Stock,
including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its inability to
comply (including for any of the reasons described in Section 9) or its
intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion of any Series C
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock;



16









 






     (B) the Company’s failure to comply with a Conversion Notice tendered
in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designation within
ten (10) business days after the receipt by the Company of the Conversion
Notice and the Preferred Stock Certificates; or




     (C) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or
other term or condition of the Purchase Agreements, the Warrants issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, this Certificate of Designation, the
Certificate of Incorporation, or any other agreement, document, certificate
or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, the Warrants issued pursuant to the
Purchase Agreements, or this Certificate of Designation; provided, however,
that in the case of a breach of a covenant which is curable, such breach
shall not constitute a Triggering Event if such breach is cured with 5 days
of the earlier of (i) the Company becoming aware of such breach or (ii)
receiving notice thereof.



          (d) Mechanics of Redemption Other Than Upon a Major Transaction or Triggering Event.
In the event of a redemption by the Company pursuant to Section 8(a), the Company notify the
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof. In the event of a
redemption by a holder on or after June 15, 2013 other than in connection with a Major Transaction
or Triggering Event, the holder(s) initiating the redemption shall provide the Company with written
notice of the redemption not less than 20 days prior to the applicable date of redemption, which
such date shall be specified in such notice (the “Redemption Date”). Such notice shall indicate
the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the party is electing to redeem or have
redeemed, as the case may be. The Company shall redeem such Series C Preferred Stock for the
Applicable Redemption Price on such Redemption Date.



          (e) Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction. No sooner
than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Major
Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall
deliver written notice (“Notice of Major Transaction”) to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock.
At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major
Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time
within ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction), any holder of Series C Preferred Stock then
outstanding may require the Company to redeem, effective immediately prior to the consummation of
such Major Transaction, all of the holder’s Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding by delivering
written notice thereof (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction”) to the
Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate the
number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that such holder is electing to redeem. The Company
shall redeem such Series C Preferred Stock for the Applicable Redemption Price within three (3)
days of receipt of the Notice of Redemption at Option Of Holder Upon Major Transaction, which shall
be considered as the applicable Redemption Date for purposes hereof.



17









 





          (f) Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event. Within one (1)
day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof
via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to each holder of Series C
Preferred Stock. At any time after the earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering
Event and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any holder of Series C Preferred Stock
then outstanding may require the Company to redeem all of the Series C Preferred Stock by
delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder Upon Triggering
Event”) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall
indicate the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that such holder is electing to redeem.
The Company shall redeem such Series C Preferred Stock for the Applicable Redemption Price within
three (3) days of receipt of the Notice of Redemption at Option Of Holder Upon Triggering Event,
which shall be considered as the applicable Redemption Date for purposes hereof.



          (g) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date,
each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, unless
such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section
5 hereof, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the
Company, in the manner and at the place designated in the applicable notice (or at the Company’s
principal business offices, if not so noted), and thereupon the Applicable Redemption Price for
such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or
certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled and retired.
In the event less than all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by a certificate
are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall promptly be issued to such holder.



          (h) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the applicable redemption notice shall have
been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Applicable Redemption Price payable
upon redemption of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is
paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available
therefor, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series C
Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to
such shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all
rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except for
the right of the holders to receive the Applicable Redemption Price without interest upon surrender
of their certificate or certificates therefor.



          (i) Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be
automatically and immediately cancelled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the
holders of Series C Preferred Stock following redemption.



          (j) Option to Receive Consideration other than Cash. In connection with any
redemption contemplated by this Section 8, a holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the
option to receive some or all of the consideration therefor in shares of Common Stock. If a



18









 







holder elects to receive some or all of such consideration in Common Stock, the number of
shares of Common Stock received shall be derived by taking the Applicable Redemption Price (or
portion thereof as designated by the holder) and dividing such amount by the Conversion Price.



          (k) Related Matters. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Series C Preferred
Stock to be redeemed, the Company shall redeem an amount from each holder of Series C Preferred
Stock being redeemed equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the number of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder relative to the number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock outstanding) of all Series C Preferred Stock being redeemed; provided that, in the
event of any redemption of Series C Preferred Stock within 90 days of the date hereof, the shares
of Series C-2 Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from each holder pro-rata prior to the redemption
of any shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock. If the Company shall fail to redeem all of the Series
C Preferred Stock submitted for redemption (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic
calculation of the Applicable Redemption Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of Series C
Preferred Stock may have under this Certificate of Designation and such holder’s applicable
Purchase Agreement, the Applicable Redemption Price payable in respect of such unredeemed Series C
Preferred Stock shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months)
until paid in full. Until the Company pays such unpaid Applicable Redemption Price in full to a
holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock submitted for redemption, such holder shall have the
option (the “Void Optional Redemption Option”) to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to
promptly return to such holder(s) all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock that were submitted
for redemption by such holder(s) under this Section 8 and for which the Applicable Redemption Price
has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company (the “Void Optional Redemption
Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice(s) and prior to
payment of the full Applicable Redemption Price to such holder, (i) the notice(s) of redemption
shall be null and void with respect to those shares of Series C Preferred Stock submitted for
redemption and for which the Applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, (ii) the Company shall
immediately return any Series C Preferred Stock submitted to the Company by each such holder for
redemption and for which the Applicable Redemption Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion
Price of such returned shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A)
the Conversion Price and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date
on which the notice of redemption is delivered and ending on the date on which the Void Option
Redemption Notice(s) is delivered to the Company; provided that no adjustment shall be made
if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. A holder’s
delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice
shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the
date of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, payments provided for in this Section 8 shall
have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.



     9. Inability to Fully Convert.



          (a) Holder’s Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt
of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock registered for resale under
the registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of



19









 







Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Registration
Statement”) for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (w) does not have a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, (x) is otherwise prohibited
by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation
system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or its securities
from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to a holder of Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant to a Conversion Notice or (y) fails to have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock
registered for resale under the Registration Statement, then the Company shall issue as many shares
of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with such holder’s Conversion Notice and
pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above and, with respect to the unconverted Series C Preferred Stock,
the holder, solely at such holder’s option, can elect, within five (5) business days after receipt
of notice from the Company thereof to:



               (i) require the Company to redeem from such holder those Series C Preferred Stock for which
the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with such holder’s Conversion Notice
(“Conversion Failure Redemption”) at a price per share equal to Applicable Redemption Price per
Share or, at such holder’s option, in shares of Common Stock, based upon the Conversion Price then
in effect on the day preceding the date of delivery of such holder’s election to the Company;



               (ii) require the Company to issue restricted shares of Common Stock in accordance with such
holder’s Conversion Notice and pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) above; and/or



               (iii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, the shares
of Series C Preferred Stock that were to be converted pursuant to such holder’s Conversion Notice
(provided that a holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations
to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).


In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock as provided
herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or any one
associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an
agreement to which such holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from
a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of said shares of Series
C Preferred Stock shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of
such holder in an amount equal to 130% of the amount of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the
holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder in
the event it obtains judgment.




          (b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Company shall immediately send via
facsimile to a holder of Series C Preferred Stock, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion
Notice from such holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 9(a) above, a
notice of the Company’s inability to fully satisfy such holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Inability
to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason
why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder’s



20









 







Conversion Notice, (ii) the number of Series C Preferred Stock which cannot be converted and
(iii) the Applicable Redemption Price. Such holder shall notify the Company of its election
pursuant to Section 9(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company (“Notice
in Response to Inability to Convert”).



          (c) Payment of Redemption Price. If such holder shall elect to have its shares
redeemed pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Applicable Redemption Price
to such holder within three (3) days of the Company’s receipt of the holder’s Notice in Response to
Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Company’s receipt of the holder’s Notice
in Response to Inability to Convert the Company has not delivered a notice to such holder stating,
to the satisfaction of the holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Conversion Failure
Redemption has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to such holder can and will be
delivered to the holder in accordance with the terms of Section 5(b). If the Company shall fail to
pay the applicable Applicable Redemption Price to such holder on a timely basis as described in
this Section 9(c) (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic
calculation of the Applicable Redemption Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of Series C
Preferred Stock may have under this Certificate of Designation and such holder’s applicable
Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.0% per month (prorated
for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Applicable Redemption Price is paid in full
to such holder, such holder may (i) void the Conversion Failure Redemption with respect to those
Series C Preferred Stock for which the full Applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, (ii)
receive back such Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such
returned Series C Preferred Stock be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price and (B) the
lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date
the holder voided the Conversion Failure Redemption; provided that no adjustment shall be
made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.



          (d) Pro-rata Conversion and Redemption. In the event the Company receives a
Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Series C Preferred Stock on the same day and the
Company can convert and redeem some, but not all, of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company shall convert and redeem from each holder of Series C Preferred Stock
electing to have Series C Preferred Stock converted and redeemed at such time an amount equal to
such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the number shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such
holder relative to the number shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding) of all shares of
Series C Preferred Stock being converted and redeemed at such time.



     10. Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock. The affirmative vote at a
meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of
not less than 51% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shall be required (a)
for any change to this Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Incorporation which would
amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the
Series C Preferred Stock or (b) for the issuance of shares of any series of preferred stock other
than pursuant to the Purchase Agreements.



     11. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of, or an
affidavit as to, the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates



21









 







representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, upon surrender and cancellation of the
Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock
certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be
obligated to re-issue Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the
Company to convert such shares of Series C Preferred Stock into Common Stock.



     12. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.
The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all
other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a
decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be
deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein
shall limit a holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with
the terms of this Certificate of Designation. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees
that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders (or any one or more of
them) of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss
and without any bond or other security being required.



     13. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained
in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained
herein. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and
all purchasers of the Series C Preferred Stock and shall not be construed against any person as the
drafter hereof.



     14. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a holder of
Series C Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

Right to Purchase 2,000,000 Shares

(Subject to Adjustment)




Warrant for Common Stock




          Home Solutions of America, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), a Delaware
corporation, hereby certifies that, for value received,




MT TRADING LLC



or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company at any time or from
time to time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined) an aggregate of 2,000,000 fully
paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided below, of
the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Stock” or “Common Stock”) of the Company, on
the payment therefore of the aggregate exercise price which shall be $0.01 per share (the “Exercise
Price per Share”) multiplied by the number of shares to be issued (the “Exercise Price”), upon the
surrender of this Warrant duly signed by the registered Holder hereof at the time of exercise,
accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth.




          The Warrant represented hereby is delivered pursuant to and is subject to that certain
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 3, 2008, by and between the Company and the
Holder hereof (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Holder has purchased 100,000 shares of Series
C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Certificate
of Designation (the “Preferred Stock”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.




          EXERCISE OF WARRANT. (a) 1,000,000 (subject to adjustment in the case of any stock
split, reclassification of other similar event) of the Warrant Shares will be exercisable



 









 






at any time after 90 days from the date hereof (the “2008 Warrant Shares”), and (b) 1,000,000
(subject to adjustment in the case of any stock split, reclassification of other similar event) of
the Warrant Shares (the “2009 Warrant Shares”) will be exercisable at any time on or after July 3,
2009 (each such period, as applicable, the “Exercise Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)
if not earlier exercised, all Warrant Shares shall expire at 5:00 p.m. on July 3, 2014, (ii) in the
event the Company redeems any of the Preferred Stock purchased in connection with the issuance of
this Warrant within 90 days of the date hereof, then without further action by the Holder or the
Company, fifteen (15) of the 2009 Warrant Shares for every one (1) share of Preferred Stock
(subject to adjustment in the case of any stock split, reclassification of other similar event)
redeemed shall expire (or, if the 2009 Warrant Shares have all been expired or if less than fifteen
(15) of such shares remain unexpired, the 2008 Warrant Shares shall expire such that the total
Warrant Shares that expire per share of Preferred Stock is equal to fifteen (15)), and (iii) in the
event the Company redeems the Preferred Stock purchased in connection with the issuance of this
Warrant after 90 days of the date hereof, then without further action by the Holder or the Company,
ten (10) of the unexercised 2009 Warrant Shares for every one (1) share of Preferred Stock (subject
to adjustment in the case of any stock split, reclassification of other similar event) redeemed, or
if a lesser amount of 2009 Warrant Shares remain unexercised at the time of such redemption, all
remaining unexercised 2009 Warrant Shares presented hereby, shall expire. For the avoidance of
doubt, no 2008 Warrant Shares shall expire pursuant to clause (iii) of this paragraph.




          In the event of a proposed Change of Control, the Company shall give the Holder ten (10) days
prior notice of the proposed closing date of the Change of Control and, to the extent the Warrant
has not been exercised by such date, then this Warrant shall terminate. “Change of Control” shall
mean (x) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of
related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation or other form of
reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other
consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or its subsidiary, but
excluding any transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction
of incorporation), unless the Company’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to
such transaction or series of related transactions will, immediately after such transaction or
series of related transactions hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or
acquiring entity or (y) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.




          Subject to the foregoing restrictions, during the Exercise Period this Warrant may be
exercised, in whole or in part, as follows:




          A. Exercise for Cash. The Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant,
in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by
surrendering this Warrant, with the Exercise of Warrant and Declaration appended hereto duly
executed by or on behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other



-2-









 






office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of
the United States, of the Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Stock
purchased upon such exercise.




          B. Cashless Exercise.




               (i) The Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at
any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, on a cashless basis, by surrendering this
Warrant, with the Exercise of Warrant and Declaration appended hereto duly executed by or on behalf
of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate, by canceling a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Exercise Price
payable in respect of the number of shares of Stock purchased upon such exercise. In the event of
an exercise pursuant to this subsection B, the number of shares of Stock issued to the Holder shall
be determined according to the following formula:



	 	 	 
	X=

	 	Y(A-B)
     A
	 
	 	 
	Where X=

	 	the number of shares of Stock that shall be issued to the Holder;
	 
	 	 
	Y=

	 	the number of shares of Stock for which this Warrant is being
exercised (which shall include both the number of shares of Stock
issued to the Holder and the number of shares of Stock subject to
the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the
Exercise Price);
	 
	 	 
	A=

	 	the Fair Market Value (as calculated pursuant to the terms set
forth below) of one share of Common Stock; and
	 
	 	 
	B=

	 	the Exercise Price per Share.






               (ii) The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows:



                    (1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National
Market, another nationally recognized trading system or on the over the counter market, as of the
Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of
the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day
immediately preceding the Exercise Date (provided that if no such price is reported on such
day, then on the date nearest preceding such date).



-3-









 





                    (2) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National
Market, another nationally recognized trading system or on the over the counter market as of the
Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to the approval of the Holder. If the parties
hereto cannot reach agreement, then the cashless exercise option shall not be available to the
Holder.



          DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATE UPON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (which payment shall be deemed to have
occurred when funds are immediately available to the Company), and in no event more than three (3)
days thereafter, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered
Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates
for the number of full shares of Stock of the Company to which such Holder shall be entitled upon
such exercise (and in the case of a partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised
portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period set forth
herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued and such Holder or such Holder’s designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become
a holder of record of such shares of Stock as of the date the duly executed exercise form pursuant
to this Warrant, together with full payment of the Exercise Price, is received by the Company as
aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder
cash equal to a like fraction at the prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in
good faith by the Company.




          FAILURE OF EXERCISE. If within three (3) business days of a Holder’s exercise of this
Warrant (in whole or in part) and payment of the Exercise Price (the
“Stock Delivery Period”) the
Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Stock to which such
Holder is entitled upon such exercise or to issue a new Warrant representing the number shares
remaining after a partial exercise as contemplated above (an
“Exercise Failure”), in addition to
all other available remedies which such Holder may pursue hereunder, under the Agreement, at law
and in equity, the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder on each business day after
such third (3rd) business day that such exercise is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5%
of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to
which such holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a new Warrant to
the Holder, the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of such new Warrant, as of the
last possible date which the Company could have issued such new Warrant to such Holder, times (B)
the Closing Bid Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Stock on the last possible date which the
Company could have issued such Stock and such new Warrant, as the case may be, to such Holder. For
the purposes hereof, “Closing Bid Price” means the last closing bid price per share on the
registered national stock exchange on which the security is then listed, or if there is no such
price on such date, then the closing bid price on such exchange on the date nearest preceding such date, or if



-4-









 






such security is not listed on a registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price for a
share of such security in the over the counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in
the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its
function of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date. If the Closing Bid Price
cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid
Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the
Company and the Holder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth above within
five (5) business days of the date incurred, then such payments shall bear interest at the rate of
2.0% per month (pro rated for partial months) until such payments are made.




          ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. A. Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the
event that a dividend or other distribution shall be declared upon the Stock of the Company payable
in shares of said stock, then, in each event, the number of shares of Stock covered by this Warrant
shall be adjusted by adding thereto the number of shares which would have been distributable
thereon if such shares had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders
entitled to receive such stock dividend or other distribution.




          B. Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event that a dividend or other
distribution shall be declared upon the Stock of the Company payable in securities of the Company
other than Stock, then, and in each event, the Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in
addition to the number of shares of Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of
the Company, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had the Registered Holder thereafter,
during the period from the date of such event to and including the date that this warrant is
exercised in full, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application
to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section with respect to the rights of
the Holder.




          C. Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to
time after the date hereof, effect a stock split of the outstanding shares of Stock, the number of
shares of Stock covered by this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company shall
at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Stock,
the number of shares of Stock covered by this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any
adjustments under this subsection C shall be effective at the close of business on the date the
stock split or combination becomes effective.




          D. Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in
the event that the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another
corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of
shares, merger or consolidation, then upon exercise of this Warrant there shall be substituted for
the shares of Stock covered by this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of



-5-









 






stock or other securities which would have been substituted therefor if such shares had been
outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such changed or
substituted stock or other securities.




          E. Other Changes. In the event there shall be any change, other than specified above,
in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock of the Company or of any stock or other
securities into which such Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then
if such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares covered by this
Warrant, such adjustment shall be made by the Company and shall be effective and binding for all
purposes on this Warrant.




          F. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of
securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number
of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and
setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.




          REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Upon exercise, the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be deemed to be Registrable Securities under Section VI of the Agreement, as
such may be amended from time to time.




          LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to it of the ownership of and the loss,
theft or destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
of indemnity satisfactory (in the exercise or reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue and deliver, in
lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.




          TRANSFER AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. A. Owner of Warrant. The Company may
deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the Holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the
Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until
presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided below.




          B. Transfer of Warrant. The Company agrees to maintain, at its then principal place
of business, books for the registration of the Warrant and transfers thereof, and, subject to the
provisions of subsections C and D below, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, on said books at said office, upon surrender of this Warrant at said office,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder hereof or his duly
authorized agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes



-6-









 






payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.




          C. Restrictions on Exercise and Transfer. Neither this Warrant nor the shares of
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any state securities laws. Therefore, in order, among other
things, to insure compliance with the Act, notwithstanding anything else in the Warrant to
contrary, the Holder of this Warrant, including any successive Holder, agrees by accepting this
Warrant as follows: No Holder shall sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber
or dispose of all or any portion of this Warrant (or any of the shares of Stock which may be issued
upon the exercise hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may transfer all or any portion
of this Warrant (or any of the shares of Stock which may be issued upon the exercise hereof) (i) as
part of a registered public offering of the Company’s securities or pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Act, (ii) by pledge that creates a mere security interest in all or any portion of this Warrant (or
any of the shares of Stock which may be issued upon the exercise hereof), provided that the pledgee
thereof agrees in writing in advance to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of
this Warrant to the same extent as if it were the Holder making such pledge, (iii) to any member of
the Holder, or to any siblings, ancestors, descendants or spouse of any member of the Holder, or
any custodian or trustee for the account of such member or the account of such siblings, ancestors,
descendants or spouse of such member (or any combination of the foregoing), or (iv) to an affiliate
or a partner of Holder, provided, in each such case (other than a transfer under clause (i) above)
a transferee shall receive and hold all or any portion of this Warrant (or any of the shares of
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise hereof) subject to the provisions of this Warrant and
there shall be no further transfer except in accordance herewith. No party will avoid the
provisions of this Warrant by making one or more transfers to an affiliate of such party and then
disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in such affiliate; provided, however, that
in any event, this Warrant and the Stock issuable herefrom may not (other than in connection with
the matters described in sub-sections C(i)-(iv) above (inclusive)) be sold or transferred in the
absence of registration under the Act unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to it stating that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of said Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that a
disposition made in reliance upon Rule 144 will not require an opinion of counsel.




          D. Legend on Shares. Each certificate for shares of Stock issued upon exercise of
this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Act, shall bear
substantially the following legend (and any additional legend required under the Act or otherwise):




-7-









 






“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR TRANSFERRED
(OTHER THAN IN RELIANCE UPON RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT), EXCEPT (I)
PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT, OR (II) PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.



          Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing
such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a
registration statement under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such
legend if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, the securities represented thereby
are legally required to be subject to the transfer restrictions contained in this Warrant. The
exercise and transfer restriction provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon all subsequent
Holders of the Warrant.




          COVENANTS. The Company covenants that, so long as this Warrant is exercisable, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for
the delivery of stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants that
all shares of Stock which shall be so deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.




          MISCELLANEOUS. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any rights of a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any right to vote or to consent to or
receive notice as a stockholder of the Company.

          The
undersigned Holder hereby exercises the right to purchase                      shares of

          The undersigned declares and represents to the Company that the intention of this exercise is
to acquire the aforementioned shares for investment only and not for resale or with a view to the
distribution thereof, except as the same may be made in compliance with all applicable securities
laws. The undersigned has been advised that the shares being issued to the undersigned are not
being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) on the grounds that this transaction
is exempt under the Act as not involving any public offering. As a result of not being registered
under the Act, the undersigned has been advised that the shares may not be sold or offered for sale
(other than in reliance upon Rule 144 promulgated under such Act) in the absence of an effective
registration statement as to the securities under the Act and any applicable state securities acts
or the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act and any
applicable state securities acts.





     You will kindly forward a certificate or certificates for the shares purchased hereby and, if
such shares shall not include all of the shares provided in this Warrant, a new Warrant of like
tenor and date for the balance of the shares issuable thereunder shall be delivered to the
undersigned at the address set forth below.

THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN IN RELIANCE UPON RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT) IN
THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO IT STATING THAT SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
SUCH ACT.




HOME SOLUTIONS OF AMERICA, INC.




Right to
Purchase 1,000,000 Shares

(Subject to Adjustment)




Warrant for Common Stock




          Home Solutions of America, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), a Delaware
corporation, hereby certifies that, for value received,




SONDRA BEIT



or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company at any time or from
time to time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined) an aggregate of 1,000,000 fully
paid and nonassessable shares (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided below, of
the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Stock” or “Common Stock”) of the Company, on
the payment therefore of the aggregate exercise price which shall be $0.01 per share (the “Exercise
Price per Share”) multiplied by the number of shares to be issued (the “Exercise Price”), upon the
surrender of this Warrant duly signed by the registered Holder hereof at the time of exercise,
accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth.




          The Warrant represented hereby is delivered pursuant to and is subject to that certain
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 3, 2008, by and between the Company and the
Holder hereof (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Holder has purchased 50,000 shares of Series
C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Certificate
of Designation (the “Preferred Stock”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.




          EXERCISE
OF WARRANT. (a) 500,000 (subject to adjustment in the case of any stock
split, reclassification of other similar event) of the Warrant Shares will be exercisable



 









 






at any time after 90 days from the date hereof (the “2008 Warrant Shares”), and (b) 500,000 (subject to adjustment in the case of any stock split, reclassification of other similar event) of
the Warrant Shares (the “2009 Warrant Shares”) will be exercisable at any time on or after July 3,
2009 (each such period, as applicable, the “Exercise Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i)
if not earlier exercised, all Warrant Shares shall expire at 5:00 p.m. on July 3, 2014, (ii) in the
event the Company redeems any of the Preferred Stock purchased in connection with the issuance of
this Warrant within 90 days of the date hereof, then without further action by the Holder or the
Company, fifteen (15) of the 2009 Warrant Shares for every one (1) share of Preferred Stock
(subject to adjustment in the case of any stock split, reclassification of other similar event)
redeemed shall expire (or, if the 2009 Warrant Shares have all been expired or if less than fifteen
(15) of such shares remain unexpired, the 2008 Warrant Shares shall expire such that the total
Warrant Shares that expire per share of Preferred Stock is equal to fifteen (15)), and (iii) in the
event the Company redeems the Preferred Stock purchased in connection with the issuance of this
Warrant after 90 days of the date hereof, then without further action by the Holder or the Company,
ten (10) of the unexercised 2009 Warrant Shares for every one (1) share of Preferred Stock (subject
to adjustment in the case of any stock split, reclassification of other similar event) redeemed, or
if a lesser amount of 2009 Warrant Shares remain unexercised at the time of such redemption, all
remaining unexercised 2009 Warrant Shares presented hereby, shall expire. For the avoidance of
doubt, no 2008 Warrant Shares shall expire pursuant to clause (iii) of this paragraph.




          In the event of a proposed Change of Control, the Company shall give the Holder ten (10) days
prior notice of the proposed closing date of the Change of Control and, to the extent the Warrant
has not been exercised by such date, then this Warrant shall terminate. “Change of Control” shall
mean (x) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of
related transactions (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation or other form of
reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Company are exchanged for securities or other
consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or its subsidiary, but
excluding any transaction effected primarily for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction
of incorporation), unless the Company’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to
such transaction or series of related transactions will, immediately after such transaction or
series of related transactions hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving or
acquiring entity or (y) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.




          Subject to the foregoing restrictions, during the Exercise Period this Warrant may be
exercised, in whole or in part, as follows:




          A. Exercise for Cash. The Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant,
in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, by
surrendering this Warrant, with the Exercise of Warrant and Declaration appended hereto duly
executed by or on behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other



-2-









 






office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of
the United States, of the Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Stock
purchased upon such exercise.




          B. Cashless Exercise.





               (i) The Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at
any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period, on a cashless basis, by surrendering this
Warrant, with the Exercise of Warrant and Declaration appended hereto duly executed by or on behalf
of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate, by canceling a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Exercise Price
payable in respect of the number of shares of Stock purchased upon such exercise. In the event of
an exercise pursuant to this subsection B, the number of shares of Stock issued to the Holder shall
be determined according to the following formula:



	 	 	 
	X=

	 	Y(A-B)
     A
	 
	 	 
	Where X=

	 	the number of shares of Stock that shall be issued to the Holder;
	 
	 	 
	Y=

	 	the number of shares of Stock for which this Warrant is being
exercised (which shall include both the number of shares of Stock
issued to the Holder and the number of shares of Stock subject to
the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the
Exercise Price);
	 
	 	 
	A=

	 	the Fair Market Value (as calculated pursuant to the terms set
forth below) of one share of Common Stock; and
	 
	 	 
	B=

	 	the Exercise Price per Share.






               (ii) The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows:



                    (1) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National
Market, another nationally recognized trading system or on the over the counter market, as of the
Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of
the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day
immediately preceding the Exercise Date (provided that if no such price is reported on such
day, then on the date nearest preceding such date).



-3-









 





                    (2) If the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq National
Market, another nationally recognized trading system or on the over the counter market as of the
Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to the approval of the Holder. If the parties
hereto cannot reach agreement, then the cashless exercise option shall not be available to the
Holder.



          DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATE UPON EXERCISE. As soon as practicable after the
exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (which payment shall be deemed to have
occurred when funds are immediately available to the Company), and in no event more than three (3)
days thereafter, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the registered
Holder hereof or its assigns, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates
for the number of full shares of Stock of the Company to which such Holder shall be entitled upon
such exercise (and in the case of a partial exercise, a Warrant of like tenor for the unexercised
portion remaining subject to exercise prior to the expiration of the Exercise Period set forth
herein). For all corporate purposes, such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been
issued and such Holder or such Holder’s designee to be named therein shall be deemed to have become
a holder of record of such shares of Stock as of the date the duly executed exercise form pursuant
to this Warrant, together with full payment of the Exercise Price, is received by the Company as
aforesaid. No fraction of a share or scrip certificate for such fraction shall be issued upon the
exercise of this Warrant; in lieu thereof, the Company will pay or cause to be paid to such Holder
cash equal to a like fraction at the prevailing fair market price for such share as determined in
good faith by the Company.




          FAILURE OF EXERCISE. If within three (3) business days of a Holder’s exercise of this
Warrant (in whole or in part) and payment of the Exercise Price (the
“Stock Delivery Period”) the
Company shall fail to issue and deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Stock to which such
Holder is entitled upon such exercise or to issue a new Warrant representing the number shares
remaining after a partial exercise as contemplated above (an
“Exercise Failure”), in addition to
all other available remedies which such Holder may pursue hereunder, under the Agreement, at law
and in equity, the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder on each business day after
such third (3rd) business day that such exercise is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5%
of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to
which such holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a new Warrant to
the Holder, the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of such new Warrant, as of the
last possible date which the Company could have issued such new Warrant to such Holder, times (B)
the Closing Bid Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Stock on the last possible date which the
Company could have issued such Stock and such new Warrant, as the case may be, to such Holder. For
the purposes hereof, “Closing Bid Price” means the last closing bid price per share on the
registered national stock exchange on which the security is then listed, or if there is no such
price on such date, then the closing bid price on such exchange on the date nearest preceding such
date, or if



-4-









 






such security is not listed on a registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price for a
share of such security in the over the counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in
the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its
function of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date. If the Closing Bid Price
cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid
Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the
Company and the Holder. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth above within
five (5) business days of the date incurred, then such payments shall bear interest at the rate of
2.0% per month (pro rated for partial months) until such payments are made.




          ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS. A. Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the
event that a dividend or other distribution shall be declared upon the Stock of the Company payable
in shares of said stock, then, in each event, the number of shares of Stock covered by this Warrant
shall be adjusted by adding thereto the number of shares which would have been distributable
thereon if such shares had been outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders
entitled to receive such stock dividend or other distribution.




          B. Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event that a dividend or other
distribution shall be declared upon the Stock of the Company payable in securities of the Company
other than Stock, then, and in each event, the Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in
addition to the number of shares of Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of
the Company, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive
had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had the Registered Holder thereafter,
during the period from the date of such event to and including the date that this warrant is
exercised in full, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application
to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section with respect to the rights of
the Holder.




          C. Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to
time after the date hereof, effect a stock split of the outstanding shares of Stock, the number of
shares of Stock covered by this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company shall
at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Stock,
the number of shares of Stock covered by this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any
adjustments under this subsection C shall be effective at the close of business on the date the
stock split or combination becomes effective.




          D. Reorganizations, Consolidations, Mergers. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in
the event that the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another
corporation, whether through reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of
shares, merger or consolidation, then upon exercise of this Warrant there shall be substituted for
the shares of Stock covered by this Warrant, the number and kind of shares of



-5-









 






stock or other securities which would have been substituted therefor if such shares had been
outstanding on the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such changed or
substituted stock or other securities.




          E. Other Changes. In the event there shall be any change, other than specified above,
in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock of the Company or of any stock or other
securities into which such Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then
if such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares covered by this
Warrant, such adjustment shall be made by the Company and shall be effective and binding for all
purposes on this Warrant.




          F. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of
securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the number
of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant
after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and
setting forth the computation by which such adjustment was made.




          REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Upon exercise, the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant shall be deemed to be Registrable Securities under Section VI of the Agreement, as
such may be amended from time to time.




          LOST, STOLEN, DESTROYED OR MUTILATED WARRANT. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
satisfactory (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) to it of the ownership of and the loss,
theft or destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction)
of indemnity satisfactory (in the exercise or reasonable discretion) to it, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon the surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will issue and deliver, in
lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.




          TRANSFER AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. A. Owner of Warrant. The Company may
deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the Holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the
Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until
presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided below.




          B. Transfer of Warrant. The Company agrees to maintain, at its then principal place
of business, books for the registration of the Warrant and transfers thereof, and, subject to the
provisions of subsections C and D below, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in
whole or in part, on said books at said office, upon surrender of this Warrant at said office,
together with a written assignment of this Warrant duly executed by the Holder hereof or his duly
authorized agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes

payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and payment the Company shall
execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and this Warrant shall promptly be
canceled.




          C. Restrictions on Exercise and Transfer. Neither this Warrant nor the shares of
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any state securities laws. Therefore, in order, among other
things, to insure compliance with the Act, notwithstanding anything else in the Warrant to
contrary, the Holder of this Warrant, including any successive Holder, agrees by accepting this
Warrant as follows: No Holder shall sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber
or dispose of all or any portion of this Warrant (or any of the shares of Stock which may be issued
upon the exercise hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder may transfer all or any portion
of this Warrant (or any of the shares of Stock which may be issued upon the exercise hereof) (i) as
part of a registered public offering of the Company’s securities or pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Act, (ii) by pledge that creates a mere security interest in all or any portion of this Warrant (or
any of the shares of Stock which may be issued upon the exercise hereof), provided that the pledgee
thereof agrees in writing in advance to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of
this Warrant to the same extent as if it were the Holder making such pledge, (iii) to any member of
the Holder, or to any siblings, ancestors, descendants or spouse of any member of the Holder, or
any custodian or trustee for the account of such member or the account of such siblings, ancestors,
descendants or spouse of such member (or any combination of the foregoing), or (iv) to an affiliate
or a partner of Holder, provided, in each such case (other than a transfer under clause (i) above)
a transferee shall receive and hold all or any portion of this Warrant (or any of the shares of
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise hereof) subject to the provisions of this Warrant and
there shall be no further transfer except in accordance herewith. No party will avoid the
provisions of this Warrant by making one or more transfers to an affiliate of such party and then
disposing of all or any portion of such party’s interest in such affiliate; provided, however, that
in any event, this Warrant and the Stock issuable herefrom may not (other than in connection with
the matters described in sub-sections C(i)-(iv) above (inclusive)) be sold or transferred in the
absence of registration under the Act unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to it stating that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of said Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that a
disposition made in reliance upon Rule 144 will not require an opinion of counsel.




          D. Legend on Shares. Each certificate for shares of Stock issued upon exercise of
this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such shares are registered under the Act, shall bear
substantially the following legend (and any additional legend required under the Act or otherwise):




-7-









 






“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR TRANSFERRED
(OTHER THAN IN RELIANCE UPON RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT), EXCEPT (I)
PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT, OR (II) PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT.



          Any certificate issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing
such legend (except a new certificate issued upon completion of a public distribution pursuant to a
registration statement under the Act of the securities represented thereby) shall also bear such
legend if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, the securities represented thereby
are legally required to be subject to the transfer restrictions contained in this Warrant. The
exercise and transfer restriction provisions of this Warrant shall be binding upon all subsequent
Holders of the Warrant.




          COVENANTS. The Company covenants that, so long as this Warrant is exercisable, it
will reserve from its authorized and unissued Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for
the delivery of stock pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants that
all shares of Stock which shall be so deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.




          MISCELLANEOUS. This Warrant does not confer upon the Holder any rights of a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any right to vote or to consent to or
receive notice as a stockholder of the Company.

distribution thereof, except as the same may be made in compliance with all applicable securities
laws. The undersigned has been advised that the shares being issued to the undersigned are not

registration statement as to the securities under the Act and any applicable state securities acts
or the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act and any
applicable state securities acts.




          You will kindly forward a certificate or certificates for the shares purchased hereby and, if
such shares shall not include all of the shares provided in this Warrant, a new Warrant of like
