                              -------------------

                         Pursuant to Section 151 of the
                        Delaware General Corporation Law

     SAFLINK Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation") and the undersigned
                                               -----------
officers of the Corporation, do hereby certify that (i) the Corporation is
authorized by its Certificate of Incorporation to issue 1,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock,  $.01 par value per share, and pursuant thereto has determined
to issue 40,000 shares of a series of Preferred Stock which shall be designated
and known as "Series E Preferred Stock," and (ii) the following resolution was
duly adopted by the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation on May
21, 2001:

     RESOLVED that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of
Directors of the Corporation by Article Fourth of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby establishes a
series of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation, which series is hereby
designated "Series E Preferred Stock" (referred to herein as "Series E Preferred
                                                              ------------------
Stock") consisting of 40,000 shares, par value $.01 per share, and hereby fixes
-----
and determines the voting rights, designations, preferences, qualifications,
privileges, limitations, options and other rights of the Series E Preferred
Stock of the Corporation as follows:

     1.  Voting Rights.  The holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be
         -------------
entitled to vote on any matters submitted to the stockholders of the
Corporation, except as required by applicable law, provided the holders of a
majority of interest of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect
two members to the Corporation's Board of Directors.

     2.  Dividend Provisions.  The Series E Preferred Stock will bear no
         -------------------
dividends.

     3.  Liquidation Preference.
         ----------------------

               (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each share of
Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, immediately after any
distributions to Senior Securities required by the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation or any certificate of designation of preferences, and prior and in
preference to any distribution of Junior Securities but in parity with any
distribution with any Parity Securities, an amount per share equal to $200 for
each such share of Series E Preferred Stock (the "Liquidation Preference"). If
                                                  ----------------------
upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among
the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall be
insufficient to permit payment in full of the Liquidation Preference, then the
entire assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed among the
holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity Securities,
pro rata, based on the respective
<PAGE>

liquidation amounts to which each such series of stock is entitled by the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and any certificate(s) of designation
of preferences.

     The term "Senior Securities" shall refer to any class or series of
               -----------------
preferred stock or any security or right convertible into or entitling the
holder to receive shares of Common Stock hereinafter created and is specifically
ranked senior (with the consent of the holders as provided in Section 7) to
Series E Preferred Stock.

     The term "Parity Securities" shall refer to any class or series of
               -----------------
preferred stock or any security or right convertible into or entitling the
holder to receive shares of Common Stock hereinafter created and is specifically
ranked on parity with Series E Preferred Stock.

     The term "Junior Securities" shall refer to Common Stock , any class or
               -----------------
series of preferred stock issued after the Original Issue Date or any security
or right convertible into or entitling  the holder to receive shares of Common
Stock.

          (b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsection
3(a), if assets remain in this Corporation, they shall be distributed to holders
of Junior Securities in accordance with the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation including any duly adopted certificates(s) of designation of
preferences.

          (c) A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any
other corporation or corporations, or a sale, conveyance or disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the effectuation by the
Corporation of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more
than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed of, shall be deemed
to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this
section.

     4.  Conversion Rights. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall
         -----------------
have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):
                                        -----------------

          (a)  Conversion.
               ----------

               (i)  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(b), each
outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock may be converted upon the election
of a holder thereof into shares of Common Stock of the Corporation at any time
after the date of the issuance of such share. Each share of Series E Preferred
Stock may be converted at the office of the Corporation, or any transfer agent
for such stock, into such whole number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Liquidation Preference by the
Conversion Price.  The initial price at which shares of Common Stock shall be
deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the
"Conversion Price") shall be equal to $0.20 per share.  The Conversion Price
-----------------
shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

               (ii) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(b), each
share of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding on the third anniversary of June
5, 2001 (the "Original Issue Date") shall automatically be converted into the
              -------------------
right to receive that number of shares of

                                       2
<PAGE>

Common Stock which would otherwise have been issuable to the holder thereof if
such holder had delivered the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) and
such date was the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined). Thereafter, all
shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall
have the status of authorized but unissued shares of undesignated shares of
Preferred Stock.

          (b)  Limitation on Conversions. The conversion of shares of Series E
               -------------------------
Preferred Stock shall be subject to the following limitations (each of which
limitations shall be applied independently):

               (i)  Cap Amount.  Prior to Stockholder Approval and regardless of
                    ----------
whether shares of the Corporation's Common Stock are listed for trading on the
Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, in
no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion
of the Series E Preferred Stock and exercise of the Series A Warrants and Series
B Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 5, 2001,
by and among the Corporation and certain purchasers ("Securities Purchase
                                                      -------------------
Agreement") exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the
---------
Corporation can issue without stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4350
(or any successor rule) (the "Cap Amount") which, as of the Original Issue Date,
                              ----------
shall be 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) (or any such higher number as the rules permit).  The foregoing
restriction shall not apply to the extent waived, modified, not applicable or
otherwise permitted by the Nasdaq National Market System or the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, as applicable to the Common Stock.

               (ii) Share Authorization. The Corporation shall, in the proxy
                    -------------------
statement circulated by the Corporation in connection with the Corporation's
next annual meeting of stockholders ("Proxy Statement"), but in no event later
                                      ---------------
than July 31, 2001, solicit by proxy the authorization (the "Stockholder
                                                             -----------
Approval") (a) by the required vote under Nasdaq Rule 4350 of the stockholders
--------
of the Corporation of  the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
shares of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms hereof and the
exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants pursuant to the
terms thereof in the aggregate in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (b) if necessary and to the extent effected by stockholder vote, to
eliminate any prohibitions (including pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 4350) under the
rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or
other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Corporation or any
of its securities on the Corporation's ability to issue shares of Common Stock
in excess of the Cap Amount, and (c) authorization by the required vote under
the Delaware General Corporation Law to approve the Reverse Stock Split (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). The Corporation shall use its
best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval no later than July 31, 2001.

          (c)  Mechanics of Conversion.
               -----------------------

               (i)  Before any holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the
certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the
Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written
notice (the "Conversion Notice") to the Corporation at such office that he
             ------------------

                                       3
<PAGE>

elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which he
wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.
The Corporation shall, on a date as soon as practicable thereafter but in no
event more than three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (the "Delivery
                                                                        --------
Period"), issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series E Preferred
------
Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to
which he shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of
the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be converted (the "Conversion Date"),
                                                             ---------------
and 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 the Conversion Date.

               (ii) If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten
offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Series E
Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the
underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event
the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series
E Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series E Preferred
Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

          (d)  Adjustments to Conversion Price for Certain Diluting Issues.
               -----------------------------------------------------------

               (i)  Special Definitions. For purposes of this subsection (d),
                    -------------------
the following definitions apply:

                    (1) "Options" shall mean rights, options (excluding options
issued to officers, directors or employees of or consultants to the Corporation
pursuant to any stock option plan as currently in existence and the SAFLINK
Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan on terms approved by the Board of
Directors), or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either
Junior Securities or Convertible Securities.

                    (2) "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidence of
indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock), any series of Preferred Stock
(other than Series E Preferred Stock) or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Junior Securities.

                    (3) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all
shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to subsection (d)(iii), deemed to be
issued) by the Corporation after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of
Common Stock issued or issuable:

                        (A) upon conversion of shares of Series E Preferred
Stock;

                        (B) to officers, directors or employees of, or
consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to stock option or stock purchase
plans, as currently in existence, or the SAFLINK Corporation 2000 Stock
Incentive Plan on terms approved by the Board of Directors;

                        (C) as a dividend or distribution on Series E Preferred
Stock; or

                                       4
<PAGE>

                      (D) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made
pursuant to subsection 4(d)(iv) below.

          (ii)   No Adjustment of Conversion Price. Any provision herein to the
                 ---------------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price for Series E
Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to
subsection 4(d)(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or
deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price for the
Series E Preferred Stock, in effect immediately prior to the date of such issue.

          (iii)  Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event
                 -------------------------------------------------
the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date
shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for
the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive
any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares
(as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any
provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible
Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of
the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as
of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued:

                 (1) no further adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be
made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities;

                 (2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in
the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease or increase in the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof
(or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease
becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease in
proportion to its effect on such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange
under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of
the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion
of the Series E Preferred Stock);

                 (3) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of
conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have
been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof
(or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed
as if in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock the only
Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if
any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of

                                       5
<PAGE>

such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the
consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such
Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by
the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible
Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional
consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion
or exchange.

                 (4) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not
more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such
Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in
clause (3) above.

          (iv)  Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional
                ----------------------------------------------------------
Shares of Common Stock. In the event this Corporation, at any time after the
----------------------
Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including
Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to subsection
(d)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue,
then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with
such issue (a "Dilutive Issuance", and such Dilutive Issuance price being
               -----------------
referred to as the "Dilutive Price") and (x) if the Dilutive Issuance occurs
                    --------------
prior to the first anniversary of the Closing (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the
Conversion Price will be equal to the Dilutive Price, or (y) if the Dilutive
Issuance occurs on or after the first anniversary of the Closing (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement) then effective immediately upon the Dilutive
Issuance, the Conversion Price will be equal to a price (calculated to the
nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares of Common Stock which
the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.

For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated on a fully
diluted basis, as if all shares of Series E Preferred Stock and all Convertible
Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to such issuance and any outstanding warrants, options or other rights for
the purchase of shares of stock or Convertible Securities had been fully
exercised immediately prior to such issuance (and the resulting securities fully
converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date, but
not including in such calculation any additional shares of Common Stock issuable
with respect to shares of Series E Preferred Stock, Convertible Securities, or
outstanding options, warrants or other rights for the purchase of shares of
stock or convertible securities, solely as a result of the adjustment of the
respective Conversion Prices (or other conversion ratios) resulting from the
issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock causing such adjustment.

                                       6
<PAGE>

          (v)  Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this subsection
               ------------------------------
(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any
Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

                 (1)  Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

                         (A)  insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the
aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid for
accrued interest or accrued dividends;

                         (B)  insofar as it consists of property other than
cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of receipt of such
property, as determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority
in interest of the Series E Preferred Stock; and

                         (C)  in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are
issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the
Corporation for consideration which covers both, the proportion of such
consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as
determined in good faith by the Board and the holders of a majority in interest
of the Series E Preferred Stock.

                         (D)  with respect to (B) and (C), in the event that the
Board and the holders of a majority in interest of the Series E Preferred Stock
cannot reach a determination as to the computation of such consideration, then
the Corporation shall promptly appoint its independent certified public
accountants to make such determination as promptly as practical.

                 (2)  Options and Convertible Securities. The
consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of
Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(iii),
relating to Options and Convertible Securities shall be determined by dividing:

                         (A)  the total amount, if any, received or receivable
by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as
set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities by

                         (B)  the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as
set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision
contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.

          (e)  Adjustments to Conversion Price for Stock Dividends and for
               -----------------------------------------------------------
Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock. In the event that this
--------------------------------------------
Corporation at any time

                                       7
<PAGE>

or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall declare or pay, without
consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in
any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock),
or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or
consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares
of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for Series E Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of
such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the
event that this Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any
dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no
consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend
payable in Common Stock in any amount of shares equal to the maximum number of
shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock.

          (f)  Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the
               ---------------------------------------------------
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or
classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in
subsection (c) above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be
proportionately adjusted so that the Series E Preferred Stock shall be
convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the
holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of
such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of
Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon
conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock immediately before the change.

          (g)  Major Transactions.
               ------------------

          (i)  If the Corporation shall consolidate with or merge into any
corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than by
way of subdivision or reduction of such shares) or if there shall occur any
share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are converted into other securities or property, then each holder shall
thereafter be entitled to receive consideration, in exchange for each share of
Series E Preferred Stock held by it, equal to the greater of, as determined in
the sole discretion of such holder: (x) the number of shares of stock or
securities or property of the Corporation, or of the entity resulting from such
transaction, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered
upon conversion of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock would have been
entitled upon such transaction had the holder exercised its right of conversion
(without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere contained)
on either (i) the trading date immediately preceding the public announcement of
such transaction and had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding and had
such holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time of the
consummation of such transaction, or (ii) the date immediately prior to the
closing of such transaction, and (y) 125% of the Liquidation Preference of such
shares of Series E Preferred Stock in cash; and the Corporation shall make
lawful provision therefor as a part of such transaction.

                                       8
<PAGE>

          (ii)   If, in connection with a business acquisition or a series of
business acquisitions occurring within any six (6) month period the Corporation
shall issue capital stock representing in excess of forty percent (40%) of its
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (determined on a
fully-diluted basis), or if the Corporation shall sell all or substantially all
of its assets, then each holder shall, at the option of each such holder, be
entitled to receive consideration, in exchange for each share of Series E
Preferred Stock held by it, in an amount equal to 125% of the Liquidation
Preference of such shares of the Series E Preferred Stock in cash, and the
Corporation shall make lawful provision therefor as a part of such transaction.

          (iii)  No sooner than ten (10) business days nor later than five (5)
business days prior to the consummation of any transaction of a sort described
in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above, but not prior to the public announcement of any
such transaction, the Corporation shall deliver written notice ("Notice of Major
                                                                 ---------------
Transaction") to each holder, which Notice of Major Transaction shall be deemed
-----------
to have been delivered one (1) business day after the Corporation's sending such
notice by telecopy (provided that the Corporation sends a confirming copy of
such notice on the same day by overnight courier) of such Notice of Major
Transaction. Such Notice of Major Transaction shall indicate the amount and type
of the consideration which such holder would receive under clause (i) of this
Section 4(g).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4(g) which may be to the contrary, if
following a transaction which triggers the applicability of paragraphs (i) or
(ii), the Common Stock remains outstanding or holders of Common Stock receive
any common stock or substantially similar equity interest, in each of the
foregoing cases which is publicly traded, each holder may, at its option in lieu
of receiving the consideration set forth in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above, as
applicable, retain its Series E Preferred Stock and such Series E Preferred
Stock shall continue to apply to such Common Stock or shall apply, as nearly as
practicable, to such other common stock or equity interest, as the case may be.

          (h)  No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
               -------------
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at
all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this
Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the
Series E Preferred Stock against impairment.

          (i)  Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each
               ------------------------------
adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of Series E Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the Corporation's
President or Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Series E Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished
to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and
readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price for the Series E Preferred Stock at the
time in effect,

                                       9
<PAGE>

and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series E
Preferred Stock.

          (j)  Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Corporation shall
               ----------------------
propose at any time; (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common
Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a
regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus; (ii)
to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its
stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights;
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock
outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or (iv) to merge or
consolidate with or into any other corporation where the Corporation is not the
surviving corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its
assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such
event, the Corporation shall send to the holders of Series E Preferred Stock;

               (1)  at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the record
date for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the
date upon which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for
determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in
(iii) and (iv) above; and

               (2)  in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv)
above, at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).

          (k)  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, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the shares of Series E Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock; and if at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient
to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred
Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of
its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

5.   Failure to Satisfy Conversions
     ------------------------------

          (a)  Conversion Default Payments. If, at any time, (x) a holder
               ---------------------------
submits a Conversion Notice (or is deemed to submit such notice) and the
Corporation fails for any reason (other than because such issuance would exceed
such holder's allocated portion of the Cap Amount, for which failure the holders
shall have the remedies set forth elsewhere herein) to deliver, on or prior to
the expiration of the Delivery Period for such conversion, such number of shares
of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such conversion, or (y)
the Corporation provides notice (including by way of public announcement) to any
holder at any time of its intention not to issue shares of Common Stock upon
exercise by any holder of its conversion rights in accordance with the terms of
this Certificate of Designation (other than

                                       10
<PAGE>

because such issuance would exceed such holder's allocated portion of the Cap
Amount) (each of (x) and (y) being a "Conversion Default"), then the Corporation
                                      ------------------
shall pay to the affected holder, in the case of a Conversion Default described
in clause (x) above, and to all holders, in the case of a Conversion Default
described in clause (y) above, an amount in cash equal to (i) one percent (1%)
of the Liquidation Preference of the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to
which the Conversion Default exists (which amount shall be deemed to be the
aggregate Liquidation Preference of all outstanding Series E Preferred Stock in
the case of a Conversion Default described in clause (y) above) for each day
such Conversion Default exists. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled
pursuant to this Section 5 are referred to herein as "Conversion Default
                                                      ------------------
Payments." Conversion Default Payments shall be made no later than the fifth
--------
(5th) business day following written demand by a holder for payment therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to make
Conversion Default Payments if the applicable Conversion Default results solely
from the Corporation's failure to obtain Stockholder Approval within the first
two (2) months following the Closing (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) or failure to have authorized under its Certificate of Incorporation
and available for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to
permit the conversion of Series E Preferred Stock subject to a Conversion Notice
within the first two (2) months following the Closing (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement).

          (b)  Adjustment to Conversion Price. If a holder has not received
               ------------------------------
certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the third (3/rd/) day after
the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of Series E
Preferred Stock for any reason (other than because such issuance would exceed
such holder's allocated portion of the Cap Amount, for which failure the holders
shall have the remedies set forth elsewhere herein), then the Conversion Price
in respect of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by the affected
holder, in the case of a Conversion Default of the type described in clause (x)
of Section 5(a), or by all holders, in the case of a Conversion Default of the
type described in clause (y) of Section 5(a), shall thereafter be reduced by
five percent (5%) per month (prorated for days less than a month) during the
period beginning on, and including, such date of Conversion Default through and
including the day on which such Conversion Default is cured.

6.  Redemption
    ----------

          (a)  Redemption Event. A "Redemption Event" means the following:
               ----------------

               (i)  the Corporation's Registration Statement (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 5, 2001, by and among the Corporation
and certain purchasers) is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the one hundred and sixtieth (160/th/) day anniversary of the
Original Issue Date.

          (b)  Redemption by Holder. Upon the occurrence of a Redemption Event,
               --------------------
each holder of the Series E Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect at any
time and from time to time by delivery of a Redemption Notice (as defined below)
to the Corporation to require the Corporation to purchase for cash an amount per
share equal to the Redemption Price (as defined herein) any or all of the then
outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder.

                                       11
<PAGE>

          (c)  Redemption Price. The redemption price per share of the Series E
               ----------------
Preferred Stock to be paid upon a redemption under this Section 6 shall be equal
to $250 per share (the "Redemption Price"). The Redemption Price shall be
                        ----------------
adjusted proportionally in the event the Series E Preferred Stock is adjusted
into a lesser number of shares or subdivided into a greater number of shares.

          (d)  Redemption Notice. Notice of any redemption pursuant to this
               -----------------
Section 6, shall be given by any holder of the Series E Preferred Stock by
mailing notice (the "Redemption Notice"), via registered or certified mail,
                     -----------------
postage prepaid, or by hand delivery to the Corporation (at the close of
business on the business day next preceding the day on which the Redemption
Notice is given), not less than 5 days prior to the date of such redemption and
the Redemption Notice shall state the time and place fixed for such redemption.

          (e)  Surrender of Certificates.  Upon surrender of a certificate or
               -------------------------
certificates representing shares to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 6, the
Corporation shall remit an amount equal to the product of (i) the Redemption
Price, times (ii) the number of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock to be
redeemed.

          (f)  Cancellation of Redeemed Shares. Any shares of the Series E
               -------------------------------
Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been redeemed or repurchased by the
Corporation shall, after such redemption or repurchase, be canceled by the
Corporation, but shall be available for reissuance at a subsequent date.

          (g)  Accounting Treatment of Series E Preferred Stock. In the event
               ------------------------------------------------
that (i) the Corporation is required to account for the Series E Preferred Stock
as anything other than equity as a result of this Section 6, and (ii) the result
of such accounting treatment would be the sole basis for the Corporation's
failure to satisfy the National Association of Security Dealer's listing
requirements to remain listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, then this Section 6
shall be of no force and effect.

7.   Protective Provisions.
     ---------------------

     The Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval of holders
of two-thirds of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock: (a) alter or change
the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series E 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 E Preferred Stock; (c) create
any Senior Securities; (d) create any Parity Securities; (e) increase the
authorized number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock; (f) redeem, or declare
or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any Junior Securities; (g) increase
or decrease the number of members on the Board from seven (7); or (h) do any act
or thing not authorized or contemplated by this Certificate of Designation which
would result in any taxation with respect to the Series E 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 of said Section or
comparable provisions). The Corporation shall not issue additional shares of
Series E Preferred Stock except to effect the

                                       12
<PAGE>

purchase and sale to the holders thereof in accordance with the Securities
Purchase Agreements and as contemplated by this Certificate of Designation.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed this 5th day of June, 2001.

which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Purchaser, severally and not
jointly, hereby agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE II
                  PURCHASER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Each Purchaser severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the
Company as set forth in this Article II. None of the Purchasers makes any other
representations or warranties, express or implied, to the Company in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby or

                                       2
<PAGE>

by any other Investment Agreements and any and all prior representations and
warranties, if any, which may have been made by such Purchaser to the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to have
been merged in this Agreement and any such prior representations and warranties,
if any, shall not survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

     2.1  Investment Purpose. Purchaser is purchasing the Preferred Stock and
          ------------------
the Warrant for Purchaser's own account for investment only and not with a view
toward or in connection with the public sale or distribution thereof, and
Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or
otherwise distributing the same. Purchaser is entering into this Agreement to
purchase the Preferred Stock and the Warrant on its own behalf and is not
relying on any other investor in making its investment decision. By executing
this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not have any
contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell,
transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with
respect to the Preferred Stock and the Warrant. Purchaser will not resell the
Preferred Stock, the Warrant or any securities which may be issued upon
conversion thereof except pursuant to sales that are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under
the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic
risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered
pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an
exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no
present intention of registering any such Securities other than as contemplated
by the Registration Rights Agreement. By making the representations in this
Section 2.1, Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or
other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any
time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act.

     2.2  Accredited Investor Status. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as
          --------------------------
that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

     2.3  Reliance on Exemptions. Purchaser understands that the Securities are
          ----------------------
being offered and sold to Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from
the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities
laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and
Purchaser's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser
to acquire the Securities.

     2.4  Information. Purchaser and its counsel have been furnished all
          -----------
materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Preferred Stock which have been
specifically requested by Purchaser which is all the information Purchaser
considers necessary or appropriate for deciding to purchase the Securities.
Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and
has received what Purchaser believes to be complete and satisfactory answers to
any such inquiries. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence
investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its representatives shall modify,
amend or affect Purchaser's right to rely on the Company's

                                       3
<PAGE>

representations and warranties contained in Article III hereof. Purchaser
understands that Purchaser's investment in the Securities involves a high degree
of risk.

     2.5  Governmental Review. Purchaser understands that no United States
          -------------------
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or an
investment therein.

     2.6  Transfer or Resale. Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided
          ------------------
in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have not been and will not
be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not
be transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption from
such registration is available (which exemption the Company expressly agrees may
be established as contemplated in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.1 hereof);
(ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the

3.6, since January 1, 1998, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules,
---
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC
pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing
filed after December 31, 1997 and all exhibits included therein and financial
statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference
therein, being referred to herein as the "SEC Documents" and all the SEC
                                          -------------
documents filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the "Filed SEC Documents").
                                                          -------------------
The Company has made available (which may include access to the SEC's website)
to Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for exhibits,
schedules and incorporated documents.  As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they
were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected by a subsequent
Filed SEC Document.  None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is
currently required to be updated or amended under applicable law (except for
such statements as have been amended or updated by subsequent Filed SEC
Documents prior to the date of this Agreement).  The financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and the rules
and regulations of the SEC during the periods involved (except (i) as may be
otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they do not include
footnotes or are condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results
of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments).
Except as set forth in the Filed SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities,
contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred subsequent to the
date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred
in the ordinary course of business and not required under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, in
each case of clause (i) and (ii) next above which, individually or in the
aggregate, are not material to the financial condition, business, operations,
properties, operating results or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries
taken on a whole.  The Filed SEC Documents contain or incorporate by reference a

                                       8
<PAGE>

complete and accurate list of all material undischarged written or oral
contracts, agreements, leases or other instruments to which the Company or any
subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any subsidiary is bound or to
which any of the properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is
subject (each a "Contract").  None of the Company, its subsidiaries or, to the
                 --------
best knowledge of the Company, any of the other parties thereto, is in breach or
violation of any Contract, which breach or violation would have a Material
Adverse Effect.  No event, occurrence or condition exists which, with the lapse
of time, the giving of notice, or both, or the happening of any further event or
condition, would become a breach or default by the Company or its subsidiaries
under any Contract which breach or default would have a Material Adverse Effect.

          --------------------------

subsidiaries, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
governmental agency or authority, or self-regulatory organization or body
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
threatened against or affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any of
their respective directors or officers in their capacities as such, wherein an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or
would adversely affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of
the other Investment Agreements or which would adversely affect the validity or
enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under, this Agreement or any of such other Investment Agreements.
The Company and each of its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts which could
give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if asserted or conducted with results
unfavorable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, could have a Material
Adverse Effect.

advisor or

<PAGE>

fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, that this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, and the relationship between Purchaser and the
Company, are "arms-length", and that any statement made by Purchaser, or any of
its representatives or agents, in connection with this Agreement or the

incidental to Purchaser's purchase of the Securities and has not been relied
upon in any way by the Company, its officers, directors or other
representatives. The Company further represents to Purchaser that the Company's
decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
has been based solely on an independent evaluation by the Company and its
representatives.

consummating the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(2)
or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  The transactions contemplated hereby
are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, assuming
the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein contained of Purchaser
to the extent relevant for such determination.

     3.14 No Brokers.  The Company has taken no action which would give rise to
          ----------
any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar
payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby,
except for dealings with H.C. Wainwright & Co., Inc. and its selected dealers.

     3.15 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that its
          --------------------------
obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is
binding upon it and enforceable regardless of the dilution that such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders.

     3.16 Intellectual Property.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.16, each of
          ---------------------                          -------------

                                                               -----------
used or necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted and as
previously described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its most
recently ended fiscal year for which an Annual Report on

                                       10
<PAGE>

Form 10-K was filed. To the knowledge of the Company and its subsidiaries,
neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company infringes on or is in
conflict with any right of any other person with respect to any Intangibles nor
is there any claim of infringement made by a third party against or involving
the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which infringement, conflict or claim,
individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

     3.17 Foreign Corrupt Practices.  Neither the Company, nor any of its
          -------------------------
subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting
on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary has, in the course of his actions

not said payment is lawful) any payment to obtain, or with respect to, sales
other than usual and regular compensation to its or their employees and sales
representatives with respect to such sales.

          ----------------------------------
the knowledge of the Company and its subsidiaries, is, or is now expected to be,
in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or
any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued
employment of each Key Employee does not subject the Company or any of its
subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.
Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.18, no Key Employee has, to the best of the
                       -------------
knowledge of the Company and its subsidiaries, any intention to terminate or
limit his employment with, or services to, the Company or any of its

Registration Rights Agreement, the Warrant or the Certificate of Designation,
from and after the date of the

                                       11
<PAGE>

Closing, neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf shall take any
action which would adversely affect any exemptions from registration under the
Securities Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

     4.3  Reporting Status.  So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the
          ----------------
Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with
the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its
status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the
Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such
termination.

     4.4  Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of
          ---------------
the Securities for working capital only, in the ordinary course of its business,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not use such
proceeds to make a loan to any employee, officer, director or stockholder of the
Company, to repay any loan or other obligation of the Company (except for (i)
mandatory prepayment of the RMS Note (as defined below) with 50% of the proceeds
from the exercise of the Warrants and (ii) the repayment of monies loaned to the
Company as part of the November 2000 or March 2001 bridge loans that such person
elects not to convert) to any such person or to repurchase or pay a dividend on
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other than any such
payment explicitly required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the
Certificate of Designation or the other Investment Agreements.

     4.5  Restriction on Issuance of Securities.  For a period beginning on the

date of the Closing and ending on the date which is one hundred and eighty (180)
days following the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company
shall not issue or agree to issue any privately placed discounted, variable
priced equity or equity-like securities (including debt securities with equity
features), other than (i) to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement, (ii)
pursuant to a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by
merger, joint venture, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock
or otherwise that has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company,
the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital, (iii) in private
placements of such securities pursuant to or in connection with a strategic
alliance or partnering relationship, the primary purpose of which is not to
raise equity capital, (iv) upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options,
warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the Closing and
disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions, (v) pursuant to the Company's stock
option plans, employee stock purchase plan or restricted stock plans approved by
the stockholders of the Company, (vi) pursuant to written agreements existing on
the date hereof to independent contractors or consultants for professional
services provided to the Company, or (vii) in connection with lease lines bank
financings or acquisitions of intellectual property rights, the primary purpose
of which is not to raise equity capital.  Without implication that the contrary
would otherwise be true, the Company shall not indirectly accomplish any action
which the immediately preceding sentence would have otherwise prohibited from
being effected directly (e.g., by an asset drop-down to a subsidiary followed by
the offering of securities of such subsidiary).

          -------------------------------
Securities Act may require delivery of a prospectus relating to the Common Stock
in connection with any sale thereof pursuant to a registration statement under
the Securities Act covering the resale by Purchaser of the Common Stock being
sold, and Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the
applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection
with any such sale.

     4.10 Intentional Acts or Omissions.  The Company shall not intentionally
          -----------------------------

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the benefits intended to be
secured thereby by Purchaser (including, without limitation, pursuant to any
agreements or documents obtained by the Company as a condition to any Closing
hereunder).

     4.11 Corporate Existence.  So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any
          -------------------
Securities, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence, except in the
event of a merger or consolidation as long as the surviving or successor entity
in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under
the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith regardless of
whether or not the Company would have had a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock authorized and available for issuance in order to effect the
conversion of all Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrant outstanding as
of the date of such transaction (including, without limitation, without giving
effect to any limitations on conversion or exercise thereof) and (ii) is a
publicly traded corporation whose common stock is listed for trading on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock Exchange
or the American Stock Exchange.

                                                      --------------------
Date").  For purposes hereof, "Stockholder Approval" means (a) authorization by
                               --------------------
the required vote under Nasdaq Rule 4350 of the stockholders of the Company of

Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation and the exercise
of the Warrant pursuant to the terms thereof in the aggregate in excess of

                                       13

unless otherwise consented to by Purchaser, have a definitive proxy statement
mailed to each stockholder of the Company at least ten (10) days prior to the

     4.13 Transactions with Affiliates.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.13,

the Company and each of its subsidiaries will not enter into any agreement or
arrangement, written or oral, directly or indirectly, with an affiliate or
provide services or sell goods to, or for the benefit of, or pay or otherwise
distribute monies, goods or other valuable consideration to, an affiliate,
except upon fair and reasonable terms under the circumstances as determined by
the Company in good faith, taking into account all of the facts and
circumstances of such agreement or arrangement, and except for existing
intercompany debt or transactions with or between the Company and any of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries and payments and benefits to officers and directors in
their capacities as such in the ordinary course of business, consistent with
past practices.

     4.14 Limitation of Agreements.  The Company will not, and will not permit
          ------------------------
any subsidiary to, enter into any Contract, or any amendment, modification,
extension or supplement to any existing Contract, which limits the Company from
performing its obligations under any of the Investment Agreements or that would
limit the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Purchaser upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrant without Stockholder
Approval, including, without limitation, by integration of other shares of
Common Stock with the Cap Amount.

     4.15 Reverse Stock Split.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will
          -------------------
use its best efforts to obtain by July 31, 2001 stockholder approval to conduct
a 1 to 5 reverse stock split of its Common Stock, or such greater ratio (e.g. 1
to 6) as necessary to comply with the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules (the "Reverse
                                                                     -------
Stock Split"), provided that the number of shares of Common Stock reduced to one
-----------
(1) share of Common Stock in the Reverse Stock Split multiplied by the closing
price of the Common Stock on the record date set for the Company's next
stockholder meeting ("Closing Price") shall equal or exceed $2.00 per share.
For example, if the Company conducts a 1 to 6 reverse stock split, the Closing
Price multiplied by 6 must be greater than or equal to $2.00 per share.

     4.16 Conversion of Jotter Note.  The Company covenants and agrees that it
          -------------------------
will use its best efforts to obtain by July 31, 2001 stockholder approval for
the conversion of the $1.7 million promissory note issued to Jotter
Technologies, Inc. ("Jotter") as partial consideration in the asset purchase
                     ------
transaction between the Company and Jotter ("Jotter Asset Purchase") into shares
                                             ---------------------

stockholder approval is required for such conversion, and the Company shall, in
any event, provide evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of such conversion.

                  LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, AND CERTAIN SALES

     5.1  Removal of Legend.  The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall
          -----------------
issue a certificate without any legend to the holder of any Security upon which
such Legend is stamped, and a certificate for a Security shall be originally
issued without any legend, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state
securities laws, (a) the sale thereof is registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) such holder provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably acceptable to the
Company (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company), to the
effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without
registration under the Securities Act or (c) Purchaser provides reasonable
assurances that such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144.  Each Purchaser
agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s)
from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without
the Legend, pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a
prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  In the event the Legend is
removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and
thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of
such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or
amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon
reasonable advance notice to the Purchaser holding such Security, the Company
may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect
to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered,
which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion
with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.

     5.2  Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company shall instruct its transfer
          ---------------------------
agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its
nominee, for the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by Purchaser to the Company upon, and in accordance
with, the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrant.
Such certificates shall bear a legend only in the form of the Legend and only to
the extent permitted by Section 5.1 above.  The Company warrants that no
instruction other than such instructions referred to in this Article V, and no
stop transfer instructions other than stop transfer instructions to give effect
to Section 2.6 hereof in the case of the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares
prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares under the
Securities Act, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of
the Company.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way Purchaser's
obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the
Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a
prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from
the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.  Without limiting
the foregoing, if (a) Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel,
which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably acceptable to the
Company (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company), to the
effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred

                                       15
<PAGE>

pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) Purchaser transfers Securities
to an affiliate or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer,
and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares, promptly
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and
in such denomination as specified by Purchaser in order to effect such a
transfer or sale.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Purchaser by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Article V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Article V, that
Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required.

                             ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

     8.1  Election and Removal of Directors. In the election of the directors
          ---------------------------------
to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock (the "Series E Directors"),
each holder of the Preferred Stock shall vote at any regular or special meeting
of stockholders or execute a written consent at the request of Palo Alto
Investors of such number of shares of voting securities then held by such holder
(or as to which it then has voting power) as may be necessary to elect two (2)
directors nominated by Palo Alto Investors. Each holder of Preferred Stock
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Palo Alto Investors as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, in its name, place, and stead, to make, execute,
acknowledge, and file written consents in connection with the election or
removal of directors of the Company. It is expressly intended by each holder of
the Preferred Stock that the power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an
interest, shall be irrevocable unless and until the covenants of this Section
8.1 terminate pursuant to the terms hereof, and shall survive and not be
affected by the subsequent disability or incapacity of such holder of Preferred
Stock (or if such holder of Preferred Stock is a corporation, partnership,
trust, association, limited liability company or other legal entity, by the
dissolution or termination thereof). In addition, each holder of the Preferred
Stock hereby constitutes and appoints Palo Alto Investors, with full power of
substitution, as the proxy of such holder and hereby authorizes it to represent
and to vote, or to execute and deliver written consents or otherwise act with
respect to, all of the Preferred Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by such
holder on all matters in connection with the election and removal of directors
of the Company, to the same extent and with the same effect as such holder might
or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations. The proxy granted
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is given in consideration of the
agreements and covenants of the Company and shareholders of the

                                       18
<PAGE>

Company pursuant to this Agreement and as such is coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable unless and until the covenants of this Section terminate
pursuant to the terms hereof. Each holder of Preferred Stock hereby revokes any
and all previous proxies granted with respect to any of the Preferred Stock
owned by such holder and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement
terminates, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect
to any of the Preferred Stock owned by such holder, deposit any of the Preferred
Stock into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this
Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any person, directly or
indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the
voting of any of the Preferred Stock owned by such holder. Each holder of
Preferred Stock and Conversion Shares shall: (i) vote at any regular or special
meeting of the stockholders for the removal of a Series E Director if, and only
if, Palo Alto Investors designates that such director be removed; and (ii)
execute a written consent for the removal of a Series E Director if, and only
if, Palo Alto Investors designates that such director be removed. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, no holder of Preferred Stock or Conversion
Shares shall vote for, or execute a written consent resulting in, the removal of
a Series E Director.

     8.2  Manner of Voting. The voting of shares pursuant to this Agreement may

     9.9  Survival. The representations and warranties of Purchaser and the
          --------
Company shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of two (2) years after
the date of the Closing and the covenants of the parties shall survive the
Closing, in each case notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted
by or on behalf of Purchaser. The Company agrees to indemnify (which indemnity
shall include advancement of expenses as they are incurred) and hold harmless
each of the Purchasers and each of Purchaser's officers, directors, employees,
partners, agents and affiliates for loss or damage or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys fees) arising as a result of or related to (a) any breach
or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations or covenants set
forth herein, (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against
Purchaser and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery,
performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreements or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any
transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (d) the
status of Purchaser or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company.
To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable
for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible
under applicable law.

     9.10 Public Filings; Publicity. Within three (3) business day following
          -------------------------
the Closing, the Company shall issue a press release with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby. Within five (5) business days of the Closing,
the Company shall file a Form 8-K regarding the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement; such Form 8-K shall have as exhibits thereto the material documents
executed in connection with this transaction contemplated hereby

     9.11 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
          ------------------
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as
the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

     9.12 Remedies. No provision of this Agreement providing for any remedy to
          --------
Purchaser shall limit any remedy which would otherwise be available to Purchaser
at law or in equity. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights Purchaser
may have with any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to
the investment contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it
of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Purchaser and that
the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore
agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Purchaser
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.

     9.13 Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred
          -----------
within three (3) business days of the execution of this Agreement, unless the
parties agree otherwise, this Agreement shall terminate.

          ----------------------
to action to be taken by any person, or which such person is prohibited from
taking, such provision shall be applicable whether the action in question is
taken directly or indirectly by such person.

     9.15 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of
          --------------------------------
a party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other
right, power or privilege.
