				ARTICLE IV
			
Dividends.




			
	
			
				 Section 4.01
			Accrual and Payment of Dividends.  From and after the date that is nine (9) months from the Date of Issuance, cumulative dividends on each Share shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof.  All accrued dividends on any Share shall be paid in cash only when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor or upon a liquidation or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Article V or Article VII.  All accrued and accumulated dividends on the Shares shall be paid prior and in preference to any dividend or distribution on or redemption of any Junior Securities, provided that the Company may, prior to the payment of all accrued and accumulated dividends on the Shares, (a) declare or pay any dividend or distribution payable on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (b) repurchase Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may redeem or repurchase Junior Securities at any time when there are no accrued or accumulated unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company shall not be obligated to and shall not pay holders of the Series A Preferred Stock any interest or sum of money in lieu of interest if dividends are not declared with respect to any dividend period.  The amount of dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends in excess of the full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, as herein provided.




			
	
			
				 Section 4.02
			Partial Dividend Payments.  When dividends are to be paid but not in full by the Company (or a sum sufficient to pay them in full is not set apart by the Company) on the Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company, out of funds legally available therefor, shall declare any dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock pro rata, so that the amount of dividends so declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Capital Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that 
		

		 



 

			accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other class of series of Capital Stock (which shall not include any accumulation in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of Capital Stock for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of Capital Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other.




			
	
			
				ARTICLE V

				 Section 5.01
			Liquidation.  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “Liquidation”), the holders of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, and subject to the liquidation rights and preferences of any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to liquidation rights, on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such holder, plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends on all such Shares (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the date of payment, but, shall not be entitled to any further payment or other participation in any distribution of the available assets of the Company.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.02
			Insufficient Assets.  If upon any Liquidation the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of each other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.




			
	
			
				 Section 5.03
			Notice.  In the event of any Liquidation, the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the date the Board approves such action, or no later than twenty (20) days of any stockholders’ meeting called to approve such action, or within twenty (20) days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give each holder of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of the proposed action.  Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash and property to be received by the holders of Shares upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof.  If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Company shall promptly give written notice to each holder of Shares of such material change.

			No Participation.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A

In any such vote, each Share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Share is convertible pursuant to Article VIII herein as of the record date for such vote or written consent or, if there is no specified record date, as of the date of such vote or written consent.  Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

In addition, prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall not make any redemption payment on any capital stock (or any security convertible into or exercisable for capital stock) at any time prior to the Expiration Date when any shares of 
		

		 



 

			Series A Preferred Stock have not been redeemed except for the redemption of Junior Securities to the extent permitted by Section 4.01.  The foregoing shall not prohibit the Company’s ability to create, authorize the creation of, issue, sell, or obligate itself to issue (i) any indebtedness (other than, prior to the Expiration Date, indebtedness convertible into or exercisable for capital stock) or (ii) any common stock (or any capital stock convertible into or exercisable for common stock (other than any capital stock that is prohibited by this Section 6.02)).

				 Section 8.02
			Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion




			
	
			
				 (a)
			Procedures for Holder Conversion.  In order to effectuate a conversion of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8.01, a holder shall (i) submit a written election to the Company that such holder elects to convert Shares, the number of Shares elected to be converted and whether or not such conversion shall be conditioned upon a Change of Control (a “Conditional Conversion”), and (ii) surrender, along with such written election, to the Company the certificate or certificates representing the Shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Company (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder.  The conversion of such Shares hereunder (other than a Conditional Conversion) shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock certificate or certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss.  Upon the receipt by the Company of a written election of conversion of Shares (other than a Conditional Conversion) and the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder (i) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable Shares as calculated pursuant to Section 8.01 and, if applicable, (ii) a certificate in such holder’s (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Company for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election and (c) cash in an amount equal to all accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Conditional Conversion shall be issued to the applicable holder of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock in sufficient time to permit such holder to participate in the applicable Change of Control transactions (including, if applicable, to permit such holder to tender its shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Conditional Conversion into any related tender offer).  To the extent any such Change of Control transaction shall be terminated without being consummated, any shares of Common Stock previously issued upon the related Conditional Conversion shall be immediately converted back into the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were initially converted into such shares of Common Stock.  In addition, to the extent the terms and conditions of any Change of Control transaction are amended in any material respect after any holder of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock has provided a written election to convert its Shares in a Conditional Conversion, such election to convert may be revoked by such holder and any shares of Common Stock previously issued upon the related Conditional Conversion shall be immediately converted back into the number of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were initially converted into such shares of Common Stock.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Company shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.




		 

 

			
	
			
				 (d)
			Effect of Conversion.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.02(a), all Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 8.01 shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such Shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Common Stock and payment in lieu of any fraction of a Share and any accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends (to the extent such holder has elected not to convert such dividends) in exchange therefor. 




			
	
			
				 Section 8.03
			Fractional Shares; Total Shares.  In connection with the conversion of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but the Company shall pay cash in lieu of any fractional interest in a share in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the closing price of one share of Common Stock as reported on the principal trading market for the Common Stock on the date of surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock certificate or certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss.  If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion by the same holder at the same time, the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of the total number of shares so surrendered.




			
	
			
				 Section 8.04
			Reservation of Stock.  The Company shall at all times when any Shares of Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article VIII, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof.  The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).  The Company shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 




			
	
			
				 Section 8.05
			No Charge or Payment.  The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, the holder in respect thereof. 




			
	
			
				 Section 8.06
			Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares.  In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Article VIII, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8.06.  




			
	
			
				 (a)
			Adjustment Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) 
		

		 



 

			subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased.  All such adjustments under this subsection (a) shall be calculated as follows:  (i) the Conversion Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and the denominator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be concurrently adjusted by multiplying such number by the reciprocal of such fraction. Any adjustment under this Section 8.06(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective. 




			
	
			
				 (b)
			Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, Etc.  In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction, including a tender offer (other than any such transaction covered by Section 8.06(a)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Share of Series A Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction (including a tender offer), remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion Shares then convertible for such Share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which such Share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction (including a tender offer) if the Share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction (including a tender offer) and acquired the applicable number of Conversion Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such Share, if any), and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of such Share) shall be made with respect to such holder's rights under this Certificate of Designation to insure that the provisions of this Section 8 hereof shall thereafter be applicable as nearly as possible in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.




		
			The provisions of this Section 8.06(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions (including tender offers).  
		

		 

 

		The Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction (including a tender offer) unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, or Person making such tender offer shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designation (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of such Share), the obligation to deliver to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.  
		

		
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8.06(b), each holder of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 8.01 or Section 7.02 hereunder (assuming that the transaction constitutes a Change of Control) instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 8.06(b) with respect to such holder’s Series A Preferred Stock. 
		

			
	
			
				 (c)
			Certificate as to Adjustment.
