attorney-in-fact unless Lessee is in default. Lessee shall pay any reasonable
expenses of Lessor in adjusting or collecting insurance. Lessee will not make
adjustments with insurers except with respect to claims for damage to any unit
of Equipment where the repair costs are less than the lesser of ten percent
(10%) of the original Equipment cost or ten thousand and 00/100 dollars
($10,000). Unless a default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Lessee
may, at its option, apply proceeds of insurance, in whole or in part, to (i)
repair or replace Equipment or any portion thereof, or (ii) satisfy any
obligation of Lessee to Lessor under this Agreement.

9.     RETURN OF EQUIPMENT:

       (a) At the expiration or termination of this Agreement or any Schedule,
Lessee shall perform any testing and repairs required to place the units of
Equipment in the same condition and appearance as when received by Lessee
(reasonable wear and tear excepted) and in good working order for the original
intended purpose of the Equipment. If required the units of Equipment shall be
deinstalled, disassembled and crated by an authorized manufacturer's
representative or such other service person as is reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor. Lessee shall remove installed markings that are not necessary for the
operation, maintenance or repair of the Equipment. All Equipment will be
cleaned, cosmetically acceptable, and in such condition as to be immediately
installed into use in a similar environment for which the Equipment was
originally intended to be used. All waste material and fluid must be removed
from the Equipment and disposed of in accordance with then current waste
disposal laws. Lessee shall return the units of Equipment to a location within
the continental United States as Lessor shall direct. Lessee shall obtain and
pay for a policy of transit insurance for the redelivery period in an amount
equal to the replacement value of the Equipment. The transit insurance must name
Lessor as the loss payee. The Lessee shall pay for all costs to comply with this
section (a).

       (b) Until Lessee has fully complied with the requirements of Section 9(a)
above, Lessee's rent payment obligation and all other obligations under this
Agreement shall continue from month to month notwithstanding any expiration or
termination of the lease term. After expiration or termination of the lease term
Lessor may terminate the Lessee's right to use the Equipment upon ten (10) days
notice to Lessee.

       (c) Unless Lessee exercises its end of lease purchase option contained in
Section 19 below, upon expiration or termination of the lease term, Lessee shall
provide to Lessor a detailed inventory of all components of the Equipment
including model and serial numbers, and Lessee shall also provide an up-to-date
copy of all other documentation pertaining to the Equipment. Unless Lessee
exercises its end of lease purchase option contained in Section 19 below All

Section 19 below Lessee shall make the Equipment available for on-site
operational inspections by potential purchasers at least one hundred twenty
(120) days prior to and continuing up to lease termination. Lessor shall provide
Lessee with reasonable notice prior to any inspection. Lessee shall provide
personnel, power and other requirements necessary to demonstrate electrical,
hydraulic and mechanical systems for each item of Equipment.

10.    DEFAULT AND REMEDIES:

       (a) Lessor may in writing declare this Agreement in default if: (i)
Lessee breaches its obligation to pay rent or any other sum when due and payable
hereunder and fails to cure the breach within ten (10) days; (ii) Lessee
breaches any of its insurance obligations under Section 8; (iii) Lessee breaches
any of its other obligations hereunder and fails to cure that breach within
thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor, (iv) any representation or
warranty made by Lessee in connection with this Agreement shall be false or
misleading in any material respect when made, (v) Lessee or any guarantor or
other obligor for the Lessee's obligations hereunder ("GUARANTOR") becomes
insolvent or ceases to do business as a going concern, (vi) any Equipment is
illegally used; (vii) if Lessee or any Guarantor is a natural person, any death
or incompetency of Lessee or such Guarantor; or (viii) a petition is filed by or
against Lessee or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws and in
the event of an involuntary petition, the petition is not dismissed within
forty-five (45) days of the filing date. The default declaration shall apply to
all Schedules unless specifically excepted by Lessor.

       (b) After a default, at the request of Lessor, Lessee shall comply with
the provisions of Section 9(a). Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to peacefully
enter any premises where any Equipment may be and take possession of the
Equipment. Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor without further demand as
liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, the Stipulated
Loss Value of the Equipment (calculated as of the rent payment date prior to the
declaration of default), and all rents and other sums then due under this
Agreement and all Schedules. Lessor may terminate this Agreement as to any or
all of the Equipment. A termination shall occur only upon written notice by
Lessor to Lessee and only as to the units of Equipment specified in any such
notice. Lessor may, but shall not be required to, sell Equipment at private or
public sale, in bulk or in parcels, with or without notice, and without having
the Equipment present at the place of sale. Lessor may also, but shall not be
required to, lease, otherwise dispose of or keep idle all or part of the
Equipment. Lessor may use Lessee's premises for a reasonable period of time for
any or all of the purposes stated above without liability for rent, costs,
damages or otherwise. The proceeds of sale, lease or other disposition, if any,
shall be applied in the following order of priorities: (i) to pay all of
Lessor's reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing,
holding, repairing and selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of Equipment,
then, (ii) to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor all sums
due from Lessee under this Agreement, then (iii) to reimburse to Lessee any sums

<PAGE>   4

previously paid by Lessee as liquidated damages; and then (iv) to Lessee, if
there exists any surplus. Lessee shall immediately pay any deficiency in (i) and
(ii) above.

       (c) The foregoing remedies are cumulative, and any or all thereof may be
exercised instead of or in addition to each other or any remedies at law, in
equity, or under statute. Lessee waives notice of sale or other disposition (and
the time and place thereof), and the manner and place of any advertising. Lessee
shall pay Lessor's actual reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection with
the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Lessor's rights and
remedies under this Agreement, or if prohibited by law, such lesser sum as may
be permitted. Waiver of any default shall not be a waiver of any other or
subsequent default.

       (d) Any default under the terms of this or any other agreement between
Lessor and Lessee may be declared by Lessor a default under this and any such
other agreement.

11.    ASSIGNMENT: LESSEE SHALL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN, ENCUMBER OR SUBLET
ANY EQUIPMENT OR THE INTEREST OF LESSEE IN THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE PRIOR

Schedule to such assignee or as instructed by Lessor. Lessee also agrees to
confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably
requested by assignee. Lessee hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any
such assignee any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which
Lessee has or may at any time have against Lessor for any reason whatsoever.

12.    NET LEASE: Lessee is unconditionally obligated to pay all rent and other
amounts due for the entire lease term no matter what happens, even if the
Equipment is damaged or destroyed, if it is defective or if Lessee no longer can
use it. Lessee is not entitled to reduce or set-off against rent or other
amounts due to Lessor or to anyone to whom Lessor assigns this Agreement or any
Schedule whether Lessees clam arises out of this Agreement, any Schedule, any
statement by Lessor, Lessors liability or any manufacturers liability, strict
liability, negligence or otherwise.

13.    INDEMNIFICATION:

       (a) Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify Lessor, its agents, employees,
successors and assigns (on an after tax basis) from and against any and all
losses, damages, penalties, injuries, claims, actions and suits, including
reasonable legal expenses, of whatsoever kind and nature arising out of or
relating to the Equipment or this Agreement, except to the extent the losses,

the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Lessor, its successors and assigns.

14. DISCLAIMER: LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT

Equipment is or is to be located.

       (b) The Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by

any governmental authority or entity with respect to the entry into or
performance by Lessee of the Documents except such as have already been
obtained.

       (d) The entry into and performance by Lessee of the Documents will not:
(i) violate any judgment, order, law or regulation applicable to Lessee or any
provision of Lessee's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws; or (ii) result in
any breach of, constitute a default under or result in the creation of any lien,
charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon any Equipment pursuant to
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other
instrument (other than this Agreement) to which Lessee is a party.

       (e) There are no suits or proceedings pending or threatened in court or

Lessee, which if decided against Lessee will have a material adverse effect on
the ability of Lessee to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

       (f) The Equipment accepted under any Certificate of Acceptance is and
will remain tangible personal property.

       (g) Each financial statement delivered to Lessor has been prepared in

or otherwise) of the Lessee.

       (h) Lessee is and will be at all times validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of its incorporation (specified in the
first sentence of this Agreement).

       (i) The Equipment will at all times be used for commercial or business
purposes.

16.    OWNERSHIP FOR TAX PURPOSES, GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; USURY SAVINGS:

       (a) For income tax purposes, the parties hereto agree that it is their
mutual intention that Lessee shall be considered the owner of the Equipment.
Accordingly, Lessor agrees (i) to treat Lessee as the owner of the Equipment on
its federal income tax return, (ii) not to take actions or positions
inconsistent with such treatment on or with respect to its federal income tax
return, and (iii) not to claim any tax benefits available to an owner of the
Equipment on or with respect to its federal income tax return. The foregoing
undertakings by Lessor shall not be violated by Lessor's taking a tax position
inconsistent with the foregoing sentence to the extent such a position is
required by law or is taken through inadvertence so long as such inadvertent tax
position is reversed by Lessor promptly upon its discovery. Lessor shall in no
event be liable to Lessee if Lessee fails to secure any of the tax benefits
available to the owner of the Equipment.

       (b) Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a first security interest in the
Equipment, together with all additions, attachments, accessions, accessories and
accessions thereto whether or not furnished by the Supplier of the Equipment and
any and all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, and any and all
insurance and/or other proceeds of the property in and against which a security
interest is granted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent that Lessor asserts a
purchase money security interest in any items of Equipment ("PMSI EQUIPMENT"):
(i) the PMSI Equipment shall secure only those sums which have been advanced by
Lessor for the purchase of the PMSI Equipment, or the acquisition of rights
therein, or the use thereof (the "PMSI INDEBTEDNESS"), and (ii) no other
Equipment shall secure the PMSI Indebtedness.

       (c) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with any
applicable usury laws to the extent that any Schedule is determined to be
subject to such laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary in any Schedule or this Agreement, in no event shall
any Schedule require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess
of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any such excess interest
is contracted for, charged or received under any Schedule or this Agreement, or
in the event that all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under
any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or
received under any Schedule or this Agreement shall exceed the maximum amount of
interest permitted by applicable law, then in such event (i) the provisions of
this paragraph shall govern and control, (ii) neither Lessee nor any other
person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be
obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess
of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, (iii) any such
excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against
the then unpaid principal balance or refunded to Lessee, at the option of the
Lessor, and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced
to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable law as now or
hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further
agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of
interest contracted for, charged or received under any Schedule or this
Agreement which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate
exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be made, to the extent

<PAGE>   6

permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading
in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received
from Lessee or otherwise by Lessor in connection with such indebtedness;
provided, however, that if any applicable state law is amended or the law of the
United States of America preempts any applicable state law, so that it becomes
lawful for Lessor to receive a greater interest per annum rate than is presently
allowed, the Lessee agrees that, on the effective date of such amendment or
preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum hereunder shall be increased
to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by the amended state law or the
law of the United States of America.

17.    EARLY TERMINATION:

       (a) On or after the First Termination Date (specified in the applicable
Schedule), Lessee may, so long as no default exists hereunder, terminate this
Agreement as to all (but not less than all) of the Equipment on such Schedule as
of a rent payment date ("TERMINATION DATE"). Lessee must give Lessor at least
ninety (90) days prior written notice of the termination.

       (b) Lessee shall, and Lessor may, solicit cash bids for the Equipment on
an AS IS, WHERE IS BASIS without recourse to or warranty from Lessor, express or
implied ("AS IS BASIS"). Prior to the Termination Date, Lessee shall (i) certify
to Lessor any bids received by Lessee and (ii) pay to Lessor (A) the Termination
Value (calculated as of the Termination Date) for the Equipment, and (B) all
rent and other sums due and unpaid as of the Termination Date.

       (c) If all amounts due hereunder have been paid on the Termination Date,
Lessor shall (i) sell the Equipment on an AS IS BASIS for cash to the highest
bidder and (ii) refund the proceeds of such sale (net of any related expenses)
to Lessee up to the amount of the Termination Value. If such sale is not
consummated, no termination shall occur and Lessor shall refund the Termination
Value (less any expenses incurred by Lessor) to Lessee.

       (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may elect by written notice, at
any time prior to the Termination Date, not to sell the Equipment. In that
event, on the Termination Date Lessee shall (i) return the Equipment (in
accordance with Section 9) and (ii) pay to Lessor all amounts required under
Section 17(b) less the amount of the highest bid certified by Lessee to Lessor.

       (e) Any rent or other amount not paid to Lessor when due shall bear
interest, from the due date until paid, at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law. Any provisions in this Agreement

of this Agreement, any Schedule, supplement or amendment hereto, of the lease of
any Equipment hereunder, shall not release Lessee from any then outstanding
obligations to Lessor hereunder.

applicable jurisdiction, no security interest therein may be created through the

           such series shall be 12,000. The par value of each share of the
           series shall be $0.001. Each share of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $1,000.

           SECTION 2. DIVIDENDS ON SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK.

                The Corporation shall pay dividends on the stated value of each
           share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the rate of 4.9%
           per annum, computed based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve
           30-day months; provided that the applicable dividend rate will
           permanently increase to 15% per annum upon the occurrence of the
           events described in the second paragraph of Section 4(b) below.
           Dividends shall be cumulative

<PAGE>   2

           with respect to each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred
           Stock while such share is outstanding. Dividends shall be payable in
           arrears on the earlier to occur of (i) the date of conversion of a
           share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock
           (as defined in Section 4 below) as provided herein and (ii) the
           Redemption Date (as defined below). At the option of the Corporation,
           dividends may be payable to the holder of shares of the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock registered on the books of the
           Corporation (the "Holder") in the form of either (i) such coin or
           currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
           legal tender for payment of public and private debts or (ii)
           provided, and to the extent, that the Maximum Share Issuance (as
           defined in Section 4(b) below), if then applicable, shall not have
           occurred in respect of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
           Stock held by such Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock
           that the amount of accrued dividends payable would entitle such
           Holder to acquire based upon a price per share equal to the
           Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4(a) below) determined as if
           the Conversion Date were the date on which such dividends became
           payable. The Corporation shall notify the Holder in writing within
           one (1) business day of the date Notice of Conversion by the Holder
           is received by the Corporation or ten (10) business days prior to the
           Redemption Date, as applicable, of the form in which the Corporation
           elects to pay accumulated dividends. In the event the Corporation
           fails to timely provide such notice, payments of dividends shall be
           in Common Stock.

           SECTION 3. REDEMPTION.

                (a) Redemption Date; Mandatory Redemption Date.

                    (1) The "Redemption Date" shall mean, (i) in the case of a
           mandatory redemption, the Mandatory Redemption Date, (ii) in the case
           of redemption upon a Redemption Event (as defined below), the date a
           demand for redemption is made following such Redemption Event, or
           (iii) in the case of an elective redemption in the event of a Change
           of Control (as defined below), the time immediately prior to the
           consummation of the Change of Control Transaction (as defined below).

                    (2) The "Mandatory Redemption Date" shall mean February 16,
           2004.

                    (3) The "Default Redemption Date" shall mean the date a
           demand for redemption is made or deemed to be made following a
           Redemption Event.

                (b) Mandatory Redemption. On the Mandatory Redemption Date, each
           Holder shall surrender to the Corporation its stock certificate
           representing then outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock (the "Series B Convertible Stock Certificates") and,
           upon such surrender, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder, at
           the Corporation's option, (i) subject to, and only to the extent such
           conversion is within the limits of, the Maximum Share Issuance, if
           then applicable, and the 9.9% Limitation (as defined in Section 4(b)
           below), the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to
           Section 4(b) as if such Mandatory Redemption Date were the Date of
           Conversion or (ii) with respect to each share of Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock so redeemed, an amount of cash equal to the
           Liquidation Preference.

                                      -2-

<PAGE>   3

                (c) Other Redemption Provisions. The Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock may also be redeemed prior to a Change of Control
           Transaction or following a Redemption Event, as provided elsewhere
           herein.

           SECTION 4. CONVERSION.

                (a) General; Automatic Conversion. Subject to this Section 4, a
           Holder has the right to convert shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock, in whole or from time to time in part, into such
           number of shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
           Corporation (the "Common Stock") equal to the aggregate stated value
           of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock plus
           accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon divided by the then
           applicable Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
           Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert to
           shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price in the
           event that (x) the Corporation shall have completed a bona fide
           public registered equity financing, the net proceeds to the
           Corporation of which exceed $20,000,000 and the price per share of
           the securities sold in such equity financing is greater than $11.54
           or (y) the Closing Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock
           for any 30 consecutive trading days following the effectiveness of
           the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
           Agreement) is greater than $11.54 (the "Threshold Appreciation
           Price").

                (b) Conversion Price; Amount; Maximum Share Issuance. The price
           at which the Holder may convert shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) into shares of Common Stock
           (the "Conversion Price") shall initially be $5.77 (the "Initial
           Conversion Price"); provided, however, that, subject to the
           immediately succeeding sentence, on August 16, 2001 and November 16,
           2001 (each a "Reset Date"), the Conversion Price shall be reset to
           the lower of (i) the Initial Conversion Price and (ii) the average of
           the 10 lowest Closing Prices during the 20 consecutive trading days
           immediately preceding (but excluding) such Reset Date (the "Reset
           Conversion Price"), provided that in no event shall the Reset
           Conversion Price be less than $2.72 (the "Conversion Price Floor").
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing Price per share of
           Common Stock for any 25 consecutive trading days following the
           effectiveness of any registration statement filed pursuant to the
           Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) and prior to the
           first Reset Date is equal to or greater than the Threshold
           Appreciation Price, the Conversion Price shall not be reset on such
           Reset Date or on the second Reset Date and the Conversion Price shall
           remain as the Initial Conversion Price. The "Closing Price" with
           respect to the per-share price of Common Stock on any day means the
           closing price, as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on such day on the
           NASDAQ National Market (or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, the New York
           Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange in the event any such
           market or exchange constitutes the principal market on which the
           Common Stock is quoted or listed or admitted to trading) (such four
           markets and exchanges, the "Approved Markets") or, if not quoted or
           listed or admitted to trading on any such Approved Market, the
           closing bid price in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any
           New York Stock Exchange member firm that is selected from time to
           time by the Corporation for that purpose. In lieu of any fractional
           share of Common Stock to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled
           upon conversion of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred
           Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
           thereof shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

                                      -3-

<PAGE>   4

                The maximum number of shares of Common Stock (the "Maximum Share
           Issuance") initially issuable upon conversion of all or any shares of
           the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (including shares of Common
           Stock that (x) the Corporation elects to issue in payment of
           dividends as provided in Section 2 hereof and (y) the Holder elects
           to receive in the form of Common Stock, if any, pursuant to the
           Registration Rights Agreement (as from time to time amended the
           "Registration Rights Agreement"), dated as of the Initial Issuance
           Date, between the Corporation and the original purchasers of the
           Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) is 2,025,733; provided,
           however, that the limitation on conversion of shares of Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock up to the Maximum Share Issuance shall be
           eliminated if (A) the Corporation receives approval from its
           shareholders to issue the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
           issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
           upon the terms of this Certificate of Designation in accordance with
           the provisions of the Approved Market on which Corporation's Common
           Stock is then listed or traded or (B) the Common Stock is no longer
           quoted or listed on an Approved Market. In the event there is more
           than one Holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the unused
           portion of the Maximum Share Issuance, if then applicable, shall be
           allocated on a pro rata basis among the Holders based upon the
           aggregate outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
           As of the date on which the Maximum Share Issuance, if then
           applicable, has occurred in respect of a Holder's entire position of
           shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (and accordingly,
           such Holder is unable to convert its remaining Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock), the dividend rate
           payable on the remaining shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred
           Stock not convertible as a result of the occurrence of the Maximum
           Share Issuance held by such Holder shall permanently increase to 15%
           per annum and shall be payable in arrears in cash monthly on the last
           business day of each month, to the extent payment in cash shall be
           lawful (regardless of whether the allocable Maximum Share Issuance,
           if then applicable, applicable to such Holder's shares of the Series
           B Convertible Preferred Stock subsequently increases as a result of
           conversions by other Holders or otherwise).

                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, as of any
           date prior to the Redemption Date, the aggregate number of shares of
           Common Stock into which all shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock (inclusive of shares of Common Stock issuable in
           payment of accrued dividends) and all other securities convertible
           into Common Stock held by a Holder and its affiliates shall be
           convertible, together with the shares of Common Stock then
           beneficially owned (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
           1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) by such Holder and its
           affiliates (excluding shares of Common Stock otherwise deemed
           beneficially owned as a result of the convertibility of the shares of
           the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Holder or its
           affiliates), shall not exceed 4.9% of the total outstanding shares of
           Common Stock as of such date (the "4.9% Limitation"). In addition,
           notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, during any
           consecutive 61-day period no Holder (together with its affiliates)
           may (x) convert its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into a
           number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 9.9% of the Corporation's
           issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the first day of
           such 61-day period or sell shares of Common Stock (whether acquired
           upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or
           otherwise in excess of 9.9% of the Corporation's issued and
           outstanding

                                      -4-

<PAGE>   5

           shares of Common stock as of the first day of such 61-day period)
           (the "9.9% Limitation"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
           Certificate of Designations, at the time of the initial issuance of
           the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each Holder at such time
           may elect to the extent to so provided in the Securities Purchase
           Agreement (as defined below) to waive or opt out of the foregoing
           limitations on conversion; otherwise such limitations on conversions
           may not be waived, amended or modified. The Corporation shall have no
           obligation to monitor compliance with the foregoing limitations on
           conversion.

                (c) Mechanics of Conversion. To convert shares of the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock, the Holder must (i) complete and sign a
           Notice of Conversion in form acceptable to the Corporation (the
           "Notice of Conversion") and deliver the Notice of Conversion to the
           Corporation as herein provided and (ii) prior to the date on which
           delivery of Common Stock is required to be made hereunder, (x) duly
           endorse and deliver to the Corporation the Series B Convertible Stock
           Certificate(s) representing the shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock being converted and (y) pay any transfer or similar
           tax with respect to the delivery of such Series B Convertible Stock
           Certificate(s) if required. The Holder shall surrender such Series B
           Convertible Stock Certificate(s) and the Notice of Conversion to the
           Corporation (with an advance copy by facsimile of the Notice of
           Conversion). The date on which Notice of Conversion is given (the
           "Date of Conversion") shall be deemed to be the date of receipt by
           the Corporation of the facsimile of the Notice of Conversion,
           provided that such Series B Convertible Stock Certificate(s) are
           received by the Corporation within five (5) business days thereafter.
           The Corporation shall not be obligated to cause the transfer agent
           for the Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") to issue certificates
           evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
           unless either such Series B Convertible Stock Certificate has been
           received by the Corporation or, if such Series B Convertible Stock
           Certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Holder has
           executed and delivered to the Corporation an agreement satisfactory
           to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss
           incurred by it in connection with the shares of the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Series B Convertible
           Stock Certificate(s).

                If the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust
           Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program,
           the Corporation shall cause the Transfer Agent to transmit
           electronically the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder upon
           conversion of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by
           crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC through
           DTC's Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system, within
           three (3) business days after delivery to the Corporation of the
           Holder's Series B Convertible Stock Certificate(s). In the event the
           Holder otherwise elects in writing, however, the Corporation shall
           cause the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver (within such three (3)
           business day period) to the address of the Holder on the books of the
           Corporation, as contemplated by the purchase agreement pursuant to
           which the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being

                                      -5-

<PAGE>   6

           converted were issued (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), or as
           otherwise directed pursuant to the Notice of Conversion, a
           certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
           to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. In the event the
           Corporation fails to complete such delivery as aforesaid, it shall be
           responsible for actual damages incurred by the Holder as a result
           thereof. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of
           Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all
           purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common
           Stock on such date. Notwithstanding that the Holder is required to
           deliver the Series B Convertible Stock Certificate(s), duly endorsed,
           within five (5) business days after the Date of Conversion, if such
           Series B Convertible Certificate(s) are not received by the
           Corporation within ten (10) business days after the Date of
           Conversion, the Corporation may at its option elect, by written
           notice given to the Holder within fifteen (15) business days after
           the Date of Conversion, elect (A) to treat Notice of Conversion as
           null and void or (B) to treat the Notice of Conversion as binding and
           require the Holder to deliver the applicable Series B Convertible
           Stock Certificate(s). In the event the Corporation elects to treat
           the Notice of Conversion as binding, the shares of Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which such Notice of
           Conversion was given shall thereafter no longer be deemed outstanding
           and the Holder thereof shall not be entitled to any voting or other
           rights attendant thereto, excepting only the right to receive, upon
           the delivery to the Corporation of the applicable Series B
           Convertible Stock Certificate(s), the share of Common Stock upon the
           conversion thereof as contemplated above.

                Following conversion of a share of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock, such share will no longer be outstanding and may not
           be reissued. In the event of the conversion of less than all of the
           shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a
           Series B Convertible Stock Certificate, the Corporation or its
           Transfer Agent will issue to the Holder a new stock certificate
           representing the number of shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock not converted or shall endorse the Series B
           Convertible Stock Certificate to reflect such conversion.

                (d) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The
           Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
           authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or shares of Common
           Stock held in treasury, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting
           the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such
           number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
           sufficient to effect the conversion of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock and all other securities of the Corporation
           convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock.

                (e) Adjustment to Conversion Prices, the Threshold Appreciation
           Price, the Conversion Price Floor, Maximum Share Issuance and Minimum
           Trigger Price.

                    (i) If, prior to the conversion of all shares of the Series
           B Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of outstanding shares of
           Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend of shares
           of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock, reclassification or
           other similar event, the Conversion Price (which terms includes the
           Initial Conversion Price and the Reset Conversion Prices, if any, to
           the extent any such Reset Conversion Price is then in effect) and the
           Conversion Price Floor (together, the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

           "Conversion Prices") shall be proportionately reduced, or if the
           number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a
           combination or reclassification of shares or other similar event, the
           Conversion Prices shall be proportionately increased, in each case,
           such that a Holder will have the right to receive upon conversion of
           shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the number of
           shares of Common Stock (or other shares of capital stock) of the
           Corporation (notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section
           4(b)) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive had the
           Holder converted such shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred
           Stock immediately prior to such action. The Maximum Share Issuance,
           the Threshold Appreciation Price and the Minimum Trigger Price (as
           defined in clause (iv) below) shall likewise be proportionately
           adjusted upon any increase in the number of outstanding shares of
           Common Stock on account of any stock split, stock dividend of shares
           of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock, reclassification or
           other similar event or upon any decrease in number of outstanding
           shares of Common Stock on account of any combination or
           reclassification of shares or other similar event.

                    (ii) If, prior to the conversion of all shares of the Series
           B Convertible Preferred Stock, there shall be any merger,
           consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization
           or other similar event (a "Conversion Reclassification Event"), as a
           result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same
           or a different number of shares of the Corporation or the same or
           another class or classes of stock or securities of the Corporation or
           another entity, then the Holder shall thereafter have the right to
           receive upon conversion of shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock, upon the basis and the terms and conditions
           specified herein, such shares of stock and/or securities as may be
           issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of
           shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore receivable upon the
           conversion of such shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
           (irrespective of the limitations set forth in Section 4(b)) had such
           Conversion Reclassification Event not taken place, and in any such
           case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights
           and interests of the Holder such that the provisions hereof
           (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the
           Conversion Prices, the Threshold Appreciation Price, the Maximum
           Share Issuance and the Minimum Trigger Price and of the number of
           shares issuable upon conversion of shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be
           practicable in relation to any shares of stock or securities
           thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of shares of the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, however, that this Section
           4(e)(ii) shall not apply to any Conversion Reclassification Event
           that constitutes a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in
           Section 6) in respect of which the Holders exercise their rights
           under Section 6. The Corporation shall not effect any Conversion
           Reclassification Event unless the resulting successor or acquiring
           entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument the
           obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock and/or
           securities as the Holder is entitled to receive upon conversion in
           accordance with the foregoing.

                    (iii) In addition to the adjustments set forth above, if the
           Corporation distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any of its
           assets or debt securities or any rights or warrants to purchase
           securities other than Common Stock, then the Conversion

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

           Prices shall be adjusted in such a manner as shall be agreed to by
           the Corporation and the Holders of a majority of the outstanding
           shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as shall fairly
           preserve the economic rights and benefits of each Holder as
           contemplated by this Certificate of Designations. In the event that
           within 15 days of any such event, the Corporation and such Holders do
           not reach an agreement as to the appropriate adjustment, the
           Corporation shall retain, and pay for, a nationally recognized
           investment bank or accounting firm to determine the appropriate
           adjustment as soon as possible, but in any event not later than 45
           days, after the date of such event.

                    (iv) In the event that, after the Initial Issuance Date, the
           Corporation shall (other than upon the exercise, exchange or
           conversion of any securities of the Corporation that are exercisable
           or exchangeable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock and
           that are outstanding as of the Initial Issuance Date, or upon the
           issuance or exercise of stock options under or pursuant to any stock
           option plan in effect on the Initial Issuance Date, upon the
           conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or
           the issuance of securities pursuant to a shareholder rights plan in
           effect on the Initial Issuance Date) at any time while any shares of
           the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding (A) issue
           shares of Common Stock without consideration or at a price per share
           less than the then effective Conversion Price (such Conversion Price,
           the "Minimum Trigger Price") (B) issue options, rights or warrants to
           subscribe for or purchase Common Stock that provide for (upon the
           exercise thereof) the issuance of shares of Common Stock without
           consideration or at a price per share, which when added to the price
           or other consideration received for such options, rights or warrants,
           is less than the Minimum Trigger Price or (C) issue securities
           convertible into Common Stock having a conversion price less than the
           Minimum Trigger Price, the Conversion Prices to be in effect after
           the date of such issuance shall be adjusted by multiplying the
           Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to the date of any such
           issuances referenced above by a fraction, of which the numerator
           shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date
           of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the
           aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common
           Stock so to be issued (or the aggregate issue price of the
           convertible securities so to be issued) would purchase at the Minimum
           Trigger Price and of which the denominator shall be the number of
           shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of such issuance plus
           the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be issued (or into
           which the convertible securities so to be issued are initially
           convertible). In case the price for such securities may be paid in a
           consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than
           cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good
           faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, whose
           determination shall be conclusive. Such adjustment shall be made
           successively whenever the date of such issuance is fixed and, in the
           event that such options, rights, warrants or convertible securities
           (or portions thereof) expire or are otherwise discharged or redeemed
           without being exercised or converted, any adjustment in the
           Conversion Prices on account of the issuance of the same shall be
           reversed.

                    (v) Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4(e) shall be
           permanent unless further adjustments are required pursuant to the
           terms of this Section 4(e). In the event the Initial Conversion Price
           is reset to a Reset Conversion Price in accordance with Section 4(b)
           above and the Conversion Price Floor shall have limited the amount to
           which the Reset Conversion Price would otherwise have been adjusted
           had such Conversion Price Floor limitation not existed, if the
           Conversion Price Floor shall be adjusted as a result of any of the
           foregoing adjustment provisions, the Conversion Price then in effect
           shall be recalculated pursuant to Section 4(b) based upon the
           adjusted Conversion Price Floor. No adjustment to the Conversion
           Prices pursuant to any of the events or circumstances set forth
           herein shall be made unless such adjustment shall be in an amount of
           at least two cents ($0.02); provided, however, that any adjustment
           that would otherwise be required to be made hereunder but for the
           fact that it is less than two cents ($0.02) shall be carried forward
           and made part of any subsequent adjustment that (a) when aggregated
           with prior adjustment(s) that have not been made because it was (or
           each of them was) less than two cents ($0.02) or (b) is in excess of
           two cents ($0.02).

                    (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
           4(e)(iv), any event resulting in an adjustment under Section 4(e)(iv)
           will not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price Floor if the
           consideration per share of Common Stock (or other securities)
           received by the Corporation in the transaction resulting in such
           adjustment is at least 90% of the Minimum Trigger Price.

                    (vii) If any adjustment under this Section 4(e) would create
           a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional
           share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and
           the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall
           be the next higher number of shares.

           SECTION 5. REDEMPTION EVENTS.

                (a) A "Redemption Event" occurs if:

                    (1) the Corporation defaults in effecting a conversion of
           shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with
           the provisions hereof (provided such default was (i) voluntarily
           caused or permitted by the Corporation, (ii) not due to some legal
           inability and (iii) otherwise within the Corporation's reasonable
           control) and such default continues for a period of 10 days; or

                    (2) the Corporation defaults in the payment of the stated
           value of or dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
           when due (provided such default was (i) voluntarily caused or
           permitted by the Corporation, (ii) not due to some legal inability
           and (iii) otherwise within the Corporation's reasonable control) and
           any such default continues for a period of 10 days; or

                    (3) the Corporation's Common Stock ceases to be listed or
           traded on an Approved Market; or

                    (4) the Corporation shall repurchase or redeem any shares of
           Common Stock or any Junior Securities or Pari Passu Securities (as
           such terms are defined herein).

                (b) If a Redemption Event occurs and is continuing, the Holder
           of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may demand that
           the Corporation redeem its shares in cash at a price equal to 115% of
           (i) the stated value plus (ii) dividends accumulated thereon until
           such date of redemption.

           SECTION 6. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                A "Change of Control Transaction" shall mean, (i) the sale,
           conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
           of the Corporation, (ii) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation
           with or into any other "Person" (as defined in the Exchange Act)
           (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving Person, but other
           than a merger or consolidation (1) whereby the stockholders of the
           Corporation immediately preceding the merger or consolidation
           continue to own greater than 50% of the voting power attributable to
           the capital stock of the surviving Person in such merger or
           consolidation that is normally entitled to vote in the election of
           directors, managers or trustees, as applicable or (2) in which the
           surviving Person (x) is listed on the NASDAQ National Market, the New
           York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange and (y) has a
           market capitalization immediately prior to such merger or
           consolidation of at least $250,000,000), or (iii) any Person or any
           "group" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act),
           becomes the beneficial owner or is deemed to beneficially own (as
           described in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act without regard to the
           60-day exercise period) in excess of 50% of the Corporation's voting
           power of the capital stock of the Corporation normally entitled to
           vote in the election of directors of the Corporation (other than (A)
           any Person or any such group that held such voting power as of the
           Initial Issuance Date or (B) any group that holds such voting power
           subsequent to the Initial Issuance Date, provided that the Persons
           that constitute such group include the Person or a majority of the
           members of, and at least 50% of the voting power held by, a group
           referenced in the foregoing clause (A)).

                Upon the notice or occurrence of, or announcement of the
           Corporation's intent (or a third party's or parties' intent in the
           case of Change of Control Transaction of the type set forth in clause
           (iii) of the definition of a Change of Control Transaction) to engage
           in a Change of Control Transaction, the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock shall thereupon be convertible in full,
           notwithstanding any limitations set forth in Section 4 hereof other
           than the 9.9% Limitation; provided that the Holder's ability to
           convert the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease three
           (3) trading days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control
           Transaction of the type set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
           definition thereof. In addition, upon either the notice of, or the
           announcement of the Corporation's intent to engage in, a Change of
           Control Transaction (of the type set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of
           the definition thereof), the Holder shall have the right, up to and
           including the third trading day prior to the date of effectiveness of
           such Change of Control Transaction, to elect to convert the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock (subject to the 9.9% Limitation) into a
           number of shares equal to 125% of the amount into which such Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock would otherwise be convertible, which
           conversion, in the case of such Change of Control Transaction, shall
           be conditioned upon and shall be effective immediately prior to
           consummation of such Change of Control Transaction. If the Holder
           does not make such an election, the outstanding shares of Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed automatically converted
           into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of
           such Change of Control Transaction, and the Holder shall receive the
           same consideration that a holder of Common Stock is entitled to
           receive in connection with such Change of Control Transaction as if
           it held shares of Common Stock as of such date.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

                The Corporation shall promptly mail written notice to the Holder
           of either the occurrence of, or the announcement of the Corporation's
           intent to engage in, a Change of Control Transaction (with a copy
           sent by facsimile), but in any event such notice (other than, if
           applicable, in the case of a Change of Control Transaction of the
           type set forth in clause (iii) of the definition of a Change of
           Control Transaction) shall not be given less than twenty (20) days
           prior to the effective date of such Change of Control Transaction.

           SECTION 7. REACQUIRED SHARES.

                Any shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock redeemed,
           purchased, converted or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any
           manner whatsoever shall not be reissued as part of the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock and shall be retired promptly after the
           acquisition thereof. All such shares of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock upon their retirement and the filing of any
           certificate required in connection therewith pursuant to the Delaware
           General Corporation Law shall become authorized but unissued shares
           of Preferred Stock.

           SECTION 8. EQUALITY.

                All Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
           subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth herein. No
           Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
           or receive terms that are more favorable than those given to any
           other Holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event a
           Holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is given by the
           Corporation or receives from the Corporation terms more favorable
           than those given by the Corporation or received from the Corporation
           by any other Holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, then in
           such event all Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
           be given and entitled to those more favorable terms.

           SECTION 9. REGISTERED HOLDER.

                The Corporation may for all purposes treat the holder of shares
           of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock registered on the books
           of the Corporation as the Holder, notwithstanding any notice or claim
           by any other Person with respect to any interest in such shares.

           SECTION 10. VOTING RIGHTS.

                (a) Prior to conversion thereof, Holders of the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any of the
           rights of a holder of Common Stock, including without limitation, the
           right to vote or to attend any meetings of common stockholders or any
           other proceedings of the Corporation and shall only be entitled to
           such voting rights as are provided by Delaware law and as set forth
           in clause (b) below.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

                (b) So long as any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
           Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without first
           obtaining the approval of the Holders of majority of the outstanding
           shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock: (A) alter or change
           the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock; (B) alter or change the rights, preferences or
           privileges of any capital stock of the Corporation so as to affect
           adversely the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (C) create or
           issue any Senior Securities (as defined in Section 10 below); (D)
           create or issue any Pari Passu Securities (as defined in Section 10
           below); (E) increase the authorized number of shares of Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock; and (F) do any act or thing not
           authorized or contemplated by this Certificate of Designation that
           would result in any taxation with respect to the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of
           1986, as amended, or any comparable provision of the Internal Revenue
           Code as hereafter from time to time amended, (or otherwise suffer to
           exist any such taxation as a result thereof). Notwithstanding the
           foregoing, any Holder (and all of its, his or her successors and
           assigns) shall be bound by any waiver or other amendment,
           modification or other agreement set forth in writing and signed by
           such Holder or otherwise obtained in accordance with the immediately
           preceding sentence.

           SECTION 11. RANK.

                All shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
           rank (i) prior to the Common Stock, the Company's Series A Junior
           Participating Convertible Preferred Stock and prior to any class or
           series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created other
           than any series or class of capital stock of the Corporation (A) that
           has been consented to by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding
           shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and (B) that
           specially, by its terms, ranks senior to or pari passu with the
           Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the Common Stock, the Company's
           Series A Junior Participating Convertible Preferred Stock and any
           class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created
           that does not specifically, by its terms, and in accordance with the
           terms of this Section 10, rank senior to or pari passu with the
           Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being hereinafter referred to
           collectively as "Junior Securities"); (ii) pari passu with any class
           or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created (A)
           that has been consented to by the Holders of a majority of the
           outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and (B)
           that, specifically by its terms and in accordance with the terms of
           this Section 10, ranks on parity with the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock (the "Pari Passu Securities"); and (iii) junior to
           any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter
           created (A) that has been consented to by the Holders of a majority
           of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and
           (B) that specifically, by its terms, ranks senior to the Series B
           Convertible Preferred Stock (all of the foregoing, collectively, the
           "Senior Securities"), in each case as to distribution of assets upon
           liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
           voluntary or involuntary.

           SECTION 12. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

                (a) If the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under the
           U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy,
           insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for
           relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of
           a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator
           (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial
           part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its
           creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
           generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in
           respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having
           jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S.
           Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy,
           insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver,
           liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other
           similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of
           its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its
           affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect
           for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any
           such event, the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or
           if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (a
           "Liquidation Event"), no distribution shall be made to the holders of
           any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior
           Securities and, together with the Holders of Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock, the Pari Passu Securities) upon liquidation,
           dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the Holders shall have
           received the Liquidation Preference (as hereinafter defined) with
           respect to each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. If,
           upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds
           available for distribution among the Holders and holders of Pari
           Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such
           Holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire
           assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for
           distribution to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Pari
           Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among such shares in
           proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on
           each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable
           on all such shares.

                (b) The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of
           any class or series, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for
           the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or
           winding up of the Corporation. Neither the consolidation or merger of
           the Corporation with or into any other entity nor the sale or
           transfer by the Corporation of less than substantially all of its
           assets shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation,
           dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

                (c) The "Liquidation Preference" with respect to a share of
           Series B Convertible Preferred Stock means an amount equal to the
           stated value thereof plus any other amounts that may be due from the
           Corporation with respect thereto pursuant to this Certificate of
           Designation (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid
           dividends and redemption premiums), the Securities Purchase Agreement
           or the Registration Rights Agreement. The Liquidation Preference with
           respect to any Pari Passu Securities shall be as set forth in the
           Certificate of Designation filed in respect thereof and, as
           applicable, any other agreements related thereto.

           SECTION 13. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES.

                If a Series B Convertible Stock Certificate shall be mutilated,
           lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver,
           in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of such
           mutilated Series B Convertible Stock Certificate, or in lieu of or in
           substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed Series B Convertible
           Stock Certificate, a new Series B Convertible Stock Certificate for
           the Series B Convertible Stock Certificate so mutilated, lost, stolen
           or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft
           or destruction of such Series B Convertible Stock Certificate, and of
           the ownership thereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably
           satisfactory to the Corporation.

           provision of this Certificate of Designations shall not operate as or

           of any breach of any other provision of the Series B Convertible
           Preferred Stock. The failure of the Corporation or the Holder to
           insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of
           Designations on one or more occasions shall not be considered a
           waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon
           strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate
           of Designations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Any

           illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of thereof shall
           remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person
           or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other
           Persons and circumstances.

           SECTION 17. COPIES OF AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS.

                Copies of any of the agreements, instruments or other documents
