<PAGE>

          Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock will be junior to dividends
on any series or class of Senior Stock and if at any time any dividend on Senior
Stock is in default, the Corporation may not pay any dividend on the Series F

payment. The Series F Preferred Stock will have priority as to dividends over
the Common Stock and any other series or class of the Corporation's Junior
Stock, and no dividend (other than dividends payable solely in Junior Stock) may
be paid on, and no purchase, redemption or other acquisition may be made by the

paid or declared and set apart for payment.

          3.  Distributions Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
              ---------------------------------------------------------

              In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, subject to the
prior preferences and other rights of any Senior Stock, but before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock, the
holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid $100,000
per share, and no more, in cash and/or in property taken at its fair value as
determined by the Board of Directors, at the election of the Board of Directors.
If such payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series F
Preferred Stock, and if payment shall have been made in full to the holders of
any Senior Stock of all amounts to which such holders shall be entitled, the
remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed among the
holders of Junior Stock, according to their respective shares and priorities.
If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of
the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation distributable among the
holders of all outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be
insufficient to permit the payment in full to such holders of the preferential
amounts to which they are entitled, then the entire net assets of the
Corporation remaining after the distributions to holders of any Senior Stock of
the full amounts to which they may be entitled shall be distributed among the
holders of the Series F Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the full
amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Neither the
consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with another Corporation,
Corporations, entity or other entities, nor the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Corporation shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this
paragraph 3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, while any shares
of Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not establish
any Senior Stock (exclusive of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred
Stock which has been authorized as of the date of this Certificate of
Designation) without the prior affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
Series F Preferred Stockholders.

          4.  Conversion Rights
              -----------------

              The Series F Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common
Stock according the following provisions:

                                       4
<PAGE>

          (a) Optional Conversion.  At any time following the Issue Date, the
Series F Preferred Stock shall be convertible into fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock, at the Conversion Price, at the option of the holder of
any shares of Series F Preferred Stock upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

          (b) Mechanics of Conversion.  The holder of any shares of Series F
              -----------------------
Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right specified in subparagraph 4(a)
by surrendering to the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the
shares to be converted, accompanied by Conversion Notice specifying the number
of shares to be converted; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated
to issue to any such holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the shares of
Series F Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation.  Conversion of
the shares may be exercised in whole or in part by the holder by faxing an
executed and completed notice of conversion to the Corporation and delivering
the original notice of conversion and the certificate representing the shares of
Series F Preferred Stock being converted to the Corporation by express courier
within three (3) business days of exercise.  Conversion shall be deemed to have
been effected on the date when delivery of the Conversion Notice and
certificates for shares to be converted are delivered to the Corporation and
such date is referred to herein as the "Conversion Date".  Subject to the
provisions of subparagraph 4(d)(iv), as promptly as practicable thereafter, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder
a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to
which such holder is entitled and a check or cash with respect to any fractional
interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in subparagraph 4(f).  Subject
to the provisions of subparagraph 4(d)(iv), the person in whose name the
certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion
Date.  Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a
certificate representing shares of Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion (in the case of conversion pursuant to subparagraph 4(a), the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder
of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the
Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series F
Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so
surrendered.

          (c) Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip
              -----------------
shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock.  If more
than one share of Series F Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion
at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common stock
issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock so surrendered.  Instead of any
fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon
conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to
that fractional interest multiplied by the Conversion Rate.

          (d) Conversion Rate Adjustments.  The Conversion Rate shall be
              ---------------------------
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                                       5
<PAGE>

          (i)     Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or
                  ---------------------------------------------------
Combinations. If the Corporation shall (A) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide or
reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of the record date
for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the
holder of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion
after such date shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock which he would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Series F
Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such date. Successive
adjustments in the Conversion Rate shall be made whenever any event specified
above shall occur.

          (ii)    Other Distributions.  In case the Corporation shall fix a
                  -------------------
record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its
Common Stock (A) of shares of any class other than its Common Stock or (B) of
evidence of indebtedness of the Corporation or any Subsidiary or (C) of assets
(excluding cash dividends or distributions, and dividends or distributions
referred to in subparagraph 4(d)(i) above), or (D) of rights or warrants
(excluding those referred to in subparagraph 4(d)(i) above), each holder of a
share of Series F Preferred Stock shall, upon the exercise of his right to
convert after such record date, receive, in addition to the shares of Common
Stock to which he is entitled, the amount of such shares, indebtedness or assets
(or, at the option of the Corporation, the sum equal to the value thereof at the
time of distribution as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion) that would have been distributed to such holder if he had exercised
his right to convert immediately prior to the record date for such
determination.

          (iii)   Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Lease or Conveyance.  In case of
                  ------------------------------------------------
any consolidation with or merger of the Corporation with or into another
Corporation, or in case of any sale,  lease or conveyance to another Corporation
of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety,
each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall after the date of such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance be convertible into the number
of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the
Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
conveyance) upon conversion of such share of Series F Preferred Stock would have
been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in
any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the shares of Series F
Preferred Stock shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as
nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or
property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the shares of Series F
Preferred Stock.

          (iv)    Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain
                  ----------------------------------------------------------
Adjustments.  In any case in which the provisions of this subparagraph (d) shall
-----------
require that any adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record
date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event
(A) issuing to the holder of any share of Series F Preferred Stock converted
after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment
required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such

                                       6
<PAGE>

conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder
any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to
subparagraph (e) of this paragraph 4, provided that the Corporation upon request
shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares, and such cash,
upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

          (v) Statement Regarding Adjustments.  Whenever the Conversion Rate
              -------------------------------
shall be adjusted as provided in subparagraph 4(d), the Corporation shall
forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series F Preferred
Stock and at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement showing in
detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Rate that shall be
in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of
such statement to be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, to each holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock
at its address appearing on the Corporation's records.  Each such statement
shall be signed by the Corporation's independent public accountants, if
applicable.  Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be
included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of
subparagraph 4(f).

     (e)  Notice to Holders.  In the event the Corporation shall propose to take
          -----------------
any action of the type described in clause (d) (but only if the action would
result in an adjustment in the Conversion Rate), (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph
4(d), the Corporation shall give notice to each holder of shares of Series F
Preferred Stock, in the manner set forth in subparagraph 4(f), which notice
shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the
approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also
set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to
indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at
the date of such notice) on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class
of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon
conversion of shares of Series F Preferred Stock. In the case of any action
which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at
least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such
notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the taking of such proposed
action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however,
affect the legality or validity of any such action.

     (f)  Costs.  The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or
          -----
other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock; provided
that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved In the issuance or delivery of any
certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the holder of the
shares of Series F Preferred Stock in respect of which such shares are being
issued.

     (g)  Reservation of Shares.  The Corporation shall reserve at all times so
          ---------------------
long as any shares of Series F Preferred Stock remain outstanding, free from
preemptive rights, out of its treasury stock (if applicable) or its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, sufficient
shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares
of Series F Preferred Stock.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     (h)  Valid Issuance.  All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon
          --------------
conversion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the
Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and the
Corporation shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including,
without limitation, any action which would cause the Conversion Price to be less
than the par value, if any, of the Common Stock).

     5.   Voting Rights
          -------------

     The holders of record of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to the following voting rights:

     (a)  So long as any shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be outstanding

required under the Delaware General Corporation Law, without first obtaining the

Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy either by written consent or at a
meeting at which the holders of such shares shall be entitled to vote separately
as a class, the Corporation shall not (i) amend, alter or repeal any provisions
