exercise such option (a "Common Stock Dividend Notice"). If the Company wishes
to exercise the Common Stock Dividend Option with respect to less than all of
the Dividends due on a Dividend Payment Date, then the Company's exercise of
Common Stock Dividend Option (and the delivery of shares of Common Stock
pursuant thereto) shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis in
accordance with the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder. A Common
Stock Dividend Notice, once delivered by the Company, shall be irrevocable,
unless the Company is not permitted to exercise the Common Stock Dividend Option
in accordance with the terms of Section 4(c). In the event that the Company does
not deliver a Common Stock Dividend Notice on or before such fifteenth (15th)
day, the Company will be deemed to have elected to pay the related Dividend in
cash.

     (e) Delivery of Shares. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following
a Dividend Payment Date with respect to which the Company has validly exercised
the Common Stock Dividend Option (each a "Common Stock Dividend Delivery Date"),
the Company must deliver to each Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal
to (A) the amount of Dividends payable with respect to such Holder's Preferred
Shares divided by the Five Day VWAP in effect on such date times ninety-three
percent (93%). The Company must deliver such shares of Common Stock to such
Holder in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5(d) below, with the
Common Stock Dividend Delivery Date being deemed the Delivery Date, and in the
event of the Company's failure to effect such delivery on the applicable
Delivery Date therefor (determined in accordance with paragraph 5(d)), such
Holder shall have the remedies specified in paragraph 5(e) below.

     (f) Payment on Junior Securities. As long as any Preferred Shares are
outstanding, the Company shall not (i) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for
value any shares of Junior Securities, directly or indirectly, other than as a
result of reclassification of Junior Securities or the exchange or conversion of
one type of Junior Securities for or into another type of Junior Securities, or
(ii) make any payment on account of, or set aside money for, a sinking or other
like fund for the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of any
share of Junior Securities.

                                      -11-


5.   CONVERSION.

     (a) Right to Convert. Each Holder shall have the right to convert, at any
time and from time to time after the Closing Date, all or any part of the
Preferred Shares held by such Holder into such number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares ("Conversion Shares") of the Common Stock as is determined
in accordance with the terms hereof (a "Conversion").

     (b) Conversion Notice. In order to convert Preferred Shares, a Holder shall
send to the Company by facsimile transmission, at any time prior to 6:00 p.m.,
eastern time, on the Business Day on which such Holder wishes to effect such
Conversion (the "Conversion Date"), (i) a notice of conversion, in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Conversion Notice"), stating the number of
Preferred Shares to be converted, the amount of Dividends accrued (but remaining
unpaid) thereon, and a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such Conversion and (ii) a copy of the certificate or certificates
representing the Preferred Shares being converted. The Holder shall send the
original of the Conversion Notice and of such certificate or certificates to the
Company or its counsel not later than the close of business on the first
Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall issue a new
certificate for Preferred Shares to the Holder in the event that less than all
of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted; provided,
however, that the failure of the Company to deliver such new certificate shall
not affect the right of the Holder to submit a further Conversion Notice with
respect to such Preferred Shares and, in any such case, the Holder shall be
deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that
it submits such further Conversion Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein,
upon delivery of a Conversion Notice by a Holder in accordance with the terms
hereof, such Holder shall, as of the applicable Conversion Date, be deemed for
all purposes to be the record owner of the Common Stock to which such Conversion
Notice relates. In the case of a dispute between the Company and a Holder as to
the calculation of the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon a Conversion (including without limitation the calculation of any
adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8 below), the Company
shall issue to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed
within the time periods specified in paragraph 5(d) below and shall submit the
disputed calculations to a certified public accounting firm of national
reputation (other than the Company's regularly retained accountants) within two
(2) Business Days following the Company's receipt of such Holder's Conversion
Notice. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
accountant to calculate the Conversion Price as provided herein and to notify
the Company and such Holder of the results in writing no later than three (3)
Business Days following the day on which such accountant received the disputed
calculations (the "Dispute Procedure"). Such accountant's calculation shall be
deemed conclusive absent manifest error. The fees of any such accountant shall
be borne by the party whose calculations were most at variance with those of
such accountant.

     (c) Number of Conversion Shares. The number of Conversion Shares to be
delivered by the Company pursuant to a Conversion shall be determined by
dividing (i) the sum of (x) the aggregate Stated Value of the Preferred Share to
be converted plus (y) all accrued and unpaid Dividends thereon (whether or not
such Dividends are earned or declared) by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on
the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that (1) in the event that
the Conversion Date is on or after the thirty (30) month anniversary of the
Closing Date or (2) in the event of a Mandatory Conversion, then in either such
case the number of Conversion Shares to be

                                      -12-


delivered by the Company pursuant to such Conversion or Mandatory Conversion
shall be determined by dividing (i) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the
Preferred Share to be converted by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the
applicable Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date (as the case may be).

     (d) Delivery of Conversion Shares. Upon receipt of a fax copy of a
Conversion Notice from a Holder, the Company shall, no later than the close of
business on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company
receives the Conversion Notice by facsimile transmission pursuant to paragraph
5(b), above (the "Delivery Date"), issue and deliver or caused to be delivered
to such Holder the number of Conversion Shares determined pursuant to paragraph
5(c) above, provided, however, that any Conversion Shares that are the subject
of a Dispute Procedure shall be delivered no later than the close of business on
the third (3rd) Business Day following the determination made pursuant thereto.
The Company shall effect delivery of Conversion Shares to the Holder, as long as
the Company's designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") participates in
the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program
("FAST") and no restrictive legend is required pursuant to the terms of this
Certificate or the Securities Purchase Agreement, by crediting the account of
the Holder or its nominee at DTC (as specified in the applicable Conversion
Notice) with the number of Conversion Shares required to be delivered, no later
than the close of business on such Delivery Date. In the event that the Transfer
Agent is not a participant in FAST or if the Conversion Shares are not eligible
to be delivered through the FAST system or if the Holder so specifies in a
Conversion Notice or otherwise in writing on or before the Conversion Date, the
Company shall effect delivery of Conversion Shares by delivering to the Holder
or its nominee physical certificates representing such Conversion Shares, no
later than the close of business on such Delivery Date. Conversion Shares
delivered to the Holder shall not contain any restrictive legend unless such
legend is required pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
If any Conversion would create a fractional Conversion Share, such fractional
Conversion Share shall be disregarded and the number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon such Conversion, in the aggregate, shall be the next closest
number of Conversion Shares.

     (e) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares.

         (i) In the event that, for any reason, a Holder has not received
certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares specified in the
applicable Conversion Notice (without any restrictive legend to the extent
permitted by the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement) on or before the
Delivery Date therefor (a "Conversion Default"), and such failure to deliver
certificates continues for two (2) Business Days following the delivery of
written notice thereof from such Holder (such second Business Day following such
written notice being referred to herein as the "Conversion Default Date"), the
Company shall pay to such Holder payments ("Conversion Default Payments") in the
amount of (A) "N" multiplied by (B) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the
Preferred Shares which are the subject of such Conversion Default multiplied by
(C) one percent (1%), where "N" equals the number of days elapsed between the
Conversion Default Date and the date on which the Conversion Default has been
cured. Amounts payable hereunder shall be paid to the Holder in immediately
available funds on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day of the calendar month
immediately following the calendar month in which such amounts have accrued.

                                      -13-


         (ii) In the event of a Conversion Default, a Holder may, upon written
notice to the Company, regain on the date of such notice the rights of such
Holder under the Preferred Shares that are the subject of such Conversion
Default. In such event, such Holder shall retain all of such Holder's rights and
remedies with respect to the Company's failure to deliver such Conversion Shares
(including without limitation the right to receive the cash payments specified
in paragraph (e)(i) above).

         (iii) The Holders' rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and no
right or remedy is exclusive of any other. In addition to any other remedies
provided herein, each Holder shall have the right to pursue actual damages for
the Company's failure to issue and deliver Conversion Shares on the applicable
Delivery Date, including, without limitation, damages relating to any purchase
of shares of Common Stock by or on behalf of such Holder in order to make
delivery on a sale effected in anticipation of receiving Conversion Shares, such
damages to be in an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount paid by such Holder
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased minus (B) the aggregate amount
received by such Holder upon the sale of such Conversion Shares, and such Holder
shall have the right to pursue all other remedies available to it at law or in
equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief).

6.   MATURITY OF PREFERRED SHARES.

     (a) Payment at Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to
each Holder the aggregate Liquidation Preference for such Holder's Preferred
Shares that are outstanding on such date. Such payment shall be made in cash by
wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that the
Company may elect, subject to the satisfaction of all of the Common Stock
Payment Conditions, to pay all or a portion of such Liquidation Preference in
shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock Maturity Payment Option"). Any amount
of cash that is due on the Maturity Date and which is not paid within five (5)
Business Days of such date shall bear interest until paid at the Default
Interest Rate.

     (b) Common Stock Payment Conditions. The Company shall not be entitled to
exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option unless, on the Maturity Date
and on each of the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding such date, all
of the Common Stock Payment Conditions are satisfied in full. In the event that
any Common Stock Payment Condition is not satisfied as of the applicable
Maturity Date and each such Trading Day, the Company shall not be permitted to
exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option (regardless of whether the
Company has delivered a Common Stock Option Notice (as defined below)) and must
pay all amounts due on such Maturity Date in cash by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.

     (c) Common Stock Option Notice. In order to exercise the Common Stock
Maturity Payment Option with respect to the Maturity Date, the Company must
deliver, on or before the fifteenth (15th) calendar day immediately prior to
such date, written notice to each Holder stating that the Company wishes to
exercise such option (a "Common Stock Option Notice"). If the Company wishes to
exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option with respect to less than all
of the Preferred Shares then outstanding, then the Company's exercise of Common
Stock

                                      -14-


Payment Option (and the delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto)
shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the
number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder. A Common Stock Option Notice,
once delivered by the Company, shall be irrevocable, unless the Company is not
permitted to exercise the Common Stock Maturity Payment Option in accordance
with the terms of Section 6(b). In the event that the Company does not deliver a
Common Stock Option Notice on or before such fifteenth day, the Company will be
deemed to have elected to pay the related Liquidation Preference in cash.

     (d) Delivery of Shares. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following
the Maturity Date, and provided that Company has validly exercised the Common
Stock Maturity Payment Option in accordance with the terms hereof (each a
"Common Stock Option Delivery Date"), the Company shall deliver to each Holder a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the Liquidation Preference of such
Holder's Preferred Shares outstanding on the Maturity Date divided by (B) the
Market Price in effect on such date. The Company must deliver such shares of
Common Stock to such Holder in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5(d)
above, with the Common Stock Option Delivery Date being deemed the Delivery
Date, and in the event of the Company's failure to effect such delivery on the
applicable Delivery Date therefor (calculated in accordance with paragraph
5(d)), such Holder shall have the remedies specified in paragraph 5(e) above.

7.   CONVERSION LIMITATIONS. In no event shall a Holder be permitted to convert
any Preferred Shares to the extent that, upon the Conversion of such Preferred
Shares, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder
(other than shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred
Shares or which would otherwise be deemed beneficially owned except for being
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained in this Section 7), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the Conversion of such Preferred Shares, would exceed 4.99% of the
number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. As used herein,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation
contained in this paragraph applies (and without limiting any rights the Company
may otherwise have), the Company may rely on the Holder's determination of
whether Preferred Shares are convertible pursuant to the terms hereof, the
Company having no obligation whatsoever to verify or confirm the accuracy of
such determination, and the submission of a Conversion Notice by the Holder
shall be deemed to be the Holder's representation that the Preferred Shares
specified therein are convertible pursuant to the terms hereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Holder to convert
Preferred Shares at such time as the Conversion thereof will not violate the
provisions of this paragraph. The limitation contained in this paragraph shall
cease to apply to a Holder (x) upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice from
such Holder to the Company, (y) immediately upon written notice from such Holder
to the Company at any time after the public announcement or other disclosure of
a Major Transaction or a Change of Control and (z) on the Maturity Date.

8.   ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE. The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8. In the event that
any adjustment of the Conversion Price required herein results in a fraction of
a cent, the Conversion Price shall be rounded up or down to the nearest cent.

                                      -15-


     (a) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any time
after the Execution Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement),
subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, then after the date of record for
effecting such subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company, at any time
after the Closing Date, combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization,
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, after the date of record for
effecting such combination, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such combination will be proportionally increased.

     (b) Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any distribution of
cash or any other assets (or rights to acquire such assets) to holders of Common
Stock in respect of such Common Stock, as a partial liquidating dividend or
otherwise, including without limitation any dividend or distribution to the
Company's stockholders in shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock
of a subsidiary (a "Distribution"), the Company shall deliver written notice of
such Distribution (a "Distribution Notice") to each Holder at least thirty (30)
days prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the record date for determining
stockholders entitled to such Distribution (the "Record Date") and (ii) the date
on which such Distribution is made (the "Distribution Date"). The earlier to
occur of the Record Date and the Distribution Date is referred to herein as the
"Determination Date". In the Distribution Notice to a Holder, the Company must
indicate whether the Company has elected (A) to deliver to such Holder, at the
same time that it makes such Distribution to its stockholders, the same amount
and type of assets being distributed in such Distribution as though the Holder
were a holder on the Determination Date therefor of a number of shares of Common
Stock into which the Preferred Shares held by such Holder are convertible as of
such Determination Date (such number of shares to be determined at the
Conversion Price then in effect and without giving effect to any limitations on
such conversion) or (B) to reduce the Conversion Price as of the Determination
Date therefor by an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets to be
distributed divided by the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such
Distribution is to be made, such fair market value to be reasonably determined
in good faith by the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors;
provided, that if the Company elects the foregoing clause (B), then the
Conversion Price shall be reduced as provided in such clause (B) without regard
to the Conversion Floor Amount. If the Company does not notify the Holders of
its election pursuant to the preceding sentence within two (2) Business Days
following the date on which the Company publicly announces a Distribution, the
Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) of the preceding sentence.

     (c) Dilutive Issuances.

          (i) Adjustment Upon Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time after the
     Closing Date, the Company issues or sells or, pursuant to subparagraph
     (iii) of this paragraph (c), is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
     of Common Stock for per share consideration less than the Conversion Price
     on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) (a
     "Dilutive Issuance"), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so as to
     equal the value of the consideration received or receivable by the Company
     (on a per share basis) for the additional shares of Common Stock so issued,

                                      -16-


     sold or deemed issued or sold in such Dilutive Issuance (which, in the case
     of a deemed issuance or sale, shall be calculated in accordance with
     subparagraph (iii) below) provided, however, that the Conversion Price
     shall not be so adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (c)(i) to be equal to
     an amount less then the Conversion Floor Amount.

          (ii) Adjustment Upon Below Market Issuance. If, at any time after the
     Closing Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with
     subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph (c), is deemed to have issued or sold,
     any shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the
     Market Price (but equal to or greater than the Conversion Price in effect)
     on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) (a "Below
     Market Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Below Market
     Issuance, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so as to equal an amount
     determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by the following fraction:

               N0 + N1
               -------
               N0 + N2

     where:

               N0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
                    prior to the issuance, sale or deemed issuance or sale of
                    such additional shares of Common Stock in such Below Market
                    Issuance (without taking into account any shares of Common
                    Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
                    securities or other instruments which are convertible into
                    or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock
                    ("Convertible Securities") or options, warrants or other
                    rights to purchase or subscribe for Common Stock or
                    Convertible Securities ("Purchase Rights")));

               N1 = the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
                    consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company
                    for the total number of such additional shares of Common
                    Stock so issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Below
                    Market Issuance (which, in the case of a deemed issuance or
                    sale, shall be calculated in accordance with subparagraph
                    (iii) below) would purchase at the Market Price in effect on
                    the date of such Below Market Issuance; and

               N2 = the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so
                    issued, sold or deemed issued or sold in such Below Market
                    Issuance.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made
     pursuant to this paragraph (c)(ii) if such adjustment would result in an
     increase in the Conversion Price; and provided further, that the Conversion
     Price shall not be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph (c)(ii) to be equal
     to an amount less then the Conversion Floor Amount.

                                      -17-


          (iii) Effect On Conversion Price Of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this
paragraph (c), the following will be applicable:

          (A) Issuance of Purchase Rights. If the Company issues or sells any
     Purchase Rights, whether or not immediately exercisable, and the price per
     share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase
     Rights (and the price of any conversion of Convertible Securities, if
     applicable) is less than the Market Price or the Conversion Price (or both)
     in effect on the date of issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, then the
     maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
     of all such Purchase Rights (assuming full conversion, exercise or exchange
     of Convertible Securities, if applicable) shall, as of the date of the
     issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, be deemed to be outstanding and
     to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For
     purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common
     Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights" shall be
     determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable
     by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such
     Purchase Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
     consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such
     Purchase Rights, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon
     the exercise of such Purchase Rights, the minimum aggregate amount of
     additional consideration payable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange
     thereof (determined in accordance with the calculation method set forth in
     subparagraph (iii)(B) below) at the time such Convertible Securities first
     become convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, by (y) the maximum total
     number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such
     Purchase Rights (assuming full conversion, exercise or exchange of
     Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the
     Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common
     Stock upon the exercise of such Purchase Rights or upon the conversion,
     exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of
     such Purchase Rights.

          (B) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company issues or sells
     any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible,
     exercisable or exchangeable, and the price per share for which Common Stock
     is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange is less than the
     Market Price or the Conversion Price (or both) in effect on the date of
     issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the maximum total
     number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or
     exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall, as of the date of the
     issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be
     outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price
     per share. If the Convertible Securities so issued or sold do not have a
     fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio, then for the
     purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the "price per share for
     which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exercise or exchange"
     shall be determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or
     receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all
     such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
     additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
     conversion, exercise or exchange thereof (determined in accordance with the
     calculation method set forth in this subparagraph

                                      -18-


     (iii)(B)) at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible,
     exercisable or exchangeable, by (y) the maximum total number of shares of
     Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such
     Convertible Securities. If the Convertible Securities so issued or sold
     have a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio (a
     "Variable Rate Convertible Security") (provided, however, that if the
     conversion or exercise price or exchange ratio of a Convertible Security
     may fluctuate solely as a result of provisions designed to protect against
     dilution, such Convertible Security shall not be deemed to be a Variable
     Rate Convertible Security), then for purposes of the first sentence of this
     subparagraph (B), the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable
     upon such conversion, exercise or exchange" shall be deemed to be the
     lowest price per share which would be applicable (assuming all holding
     period and other conditions to any discounts contained in such Variable
     Rate Convertible Security have been satisfied) if the conversion price of
     such Variable Rate Convertible Security on the date of issuance or sale
     thereof were seventy-five percent (75%) of the actual conversion price on
     such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price"), and, further, if the
     conversion price of such Variable Rate Convertible Security at any time or
     times thereafter is less than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market Price
     last used for making any adjustment under this paragraph (c) with respect
     to any Variable Rate Convertible Security, the Conversion Price in effect
     at such time shall be readjusted to equal the Conversion Price which would
     have resulted if the Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance
     of the Variable Rate Convertible Security had been seventy-five percent
     (75%) of the actual conversion price of such Variable Rate Convertible
     Security existing at the time of the adjustment required by this sentence.
     No further adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
     issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such
     Convertible Securities.

          (C) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If, following an
     adjustment to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Purchase Rights or
     Convertible Securities pursuant to a Dilutive Issuance or a Below Market
     Issuance, there is a change at any time in (x) the amount of additional
     consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Purchase
     Rights; (y) the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
     Company upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
     Securities; or (z) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are
     convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (in each
     such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect
     against dilution), then in any such case, the Conversion Price in effect at
     the time of such change shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which
     would have been in effect at such time had such Purchase Rights or
     Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed
     additional consideration or changed conversion, exercise or exchange rate,
     as the case may be, at the time initially issued or sold.

          (D) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
     Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for cash, the
     consideration received therefor will be the amount received by the Company
     therefor. In case any Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible
     Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all of which
     shall be other than cash, including in the case of a strategic or similar
     arrangement in which the other entity will provide services to the Company,
     purchase

                                      -19-


     services from the Company or otherwise provide intangible consideration to
     the Company, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by
     the Company (including the net present value of the consideration other
     than cash expected by the Company for the provided or purchased services)
     shall be the fair market value of such consideration, except where such
     consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the
     amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Market Price
     thereof on the date of receipt. In case any Common Stock, Purchase Rights
     or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any merger or
     consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount
     of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of
     such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving
     corporation as is attributable to such Common Stock, Purchase Rights or
     Convertible Securities, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything else
     herein to the contrary, if Common Stock, Purchase Rights or Convertible
     Securities are issued or sold in conjunction with each other as part of a
     single transaction or in a series of related transactions, a Holder may
     elect to determine the amount of consideration deemed to be received by the
     Company therefor by deducting the fair value of any type of securities (the
     "Disregarded Securities") issued or sold in such transaction or series of
     transactions. If a Holder makes an election pursuant to the immediately
     preceding sentence, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made
     pursuant to this paragraph (c) for the issuance of the Disregarded
     Securities or upon any conversion, exercise or exchange thereof. The
     independent members of the Company's Board of Directors shall calculate
     reasonably and in good faith, using standard commercial valuation methods
     appropriate for valuing such assets, the fair market value of any
     consideration other than cash or securities.

          (E) Issuances Without Consideration Pursuant to Existing Securities.
     If the Company issues (or becomes obligated to issue) shares of Common
     Stock pursuant to any anti-dilution or similar adjustments (other than as a
     result of stock splits, stock dividends and the like) contained in any
     Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights outstanding as of the date
     hereof, then all shares of Common Stock so issued shall be deemed to have
     been issued for no consideration.

          (iv) Exceptions To Adjustment Of Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made pursuant to this
paragraph (c) upon the issuance of any Excluded Securities. For purposes hereof,
"Excluded Securities" means (A) securities purchased under the Securities
Purchase Agreement; (B) securities issued upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares or exercise of the Warrants; (C) shares of Common Stock issuable or
issued to (x) employees or directors from time to time either directly or upon
the exercise of options, in such case granted or to be granted in the discretion
of the Board of Directors, as approved by the independent members of the Board,
pursuant to one or more stock option plans or restricted stock plans or stock
purchase plans in effect as of the Closing Date or subsequently approved by the
independent members of the Board of Directors or by the Company's stockholders,
or (y) consultants or vendors, either directly or pursuant to warrants to
purchase Common Stock that are outstanding on the date hereof or issued
hereafter, provided such issuances are approved by the independent members of
the Board of Directors or by the Company's stockholders; (D) except as required
by paragraph (c)(iii)(E) above, shares of Common Stock issued in connection with
any Convertible Securities or Purchase Rights

                                      -20-


outstanding on the date hereof; (E) shares of Common Stock issued to a Person in
connection with a joint venture, strategic alliance or other commercial
relationship with such Person relating to the operation of the Company's
business and not for the purpose of raising equity capital; (F) shares of Common
Stock issued in connection with the acquisition by the Company of any
corporation or other entity (including, without limitation, the interests in
certain limited partnerships of which the Company or a Subsidiary is a general
partner); and (G) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm commitment
underwritten public offering with a nationally recognized underwriter. For
purposes hereof, approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors
shall mean the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board,
which majority shall include not fewer than four (4) independent directors (as
such term is defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Market Rules).

          (v) Notice Of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of an adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph (c) or any change in the number or
type of stock, securities and/or other property issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such
adjustment or readjustment or change and prepare and furnish to each Holder a
notice (an "Adjustment Notice") setting forth such adjustment or readjustment or
change and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment or change is based and shall, on or before the time that it
delivers an Adjustment Notice, publicly disclose the contents thereof. The
failure of the Company to deliver an Adjustment Notice shall not affect the
validity of any such adjustment.

     (d) Adjustment Upon Reduction in Five Day VWAP. If, as of any date after
the Closing Date, the product of (x) the Five Day VWAP as of such date times (y)
eighty percent (80%) is less then the Conversion Price in effect on such date,
then the Conversion Price for all conversions occurring after such date (subject
to further adjustment as provided in this Section 8) shall be adjusted so as to
equal such product; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall not be so
adjusted to be equal to an amount less then the Conversion Floor Amount. Upon
the occurrence of an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this
paragraph (d), the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such
adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder an Adjustment
Notice setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the
facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The failure of the
Company to deliver an Adjustment Notice shall not affect the validity of any
such adjustment.

     (e) Major Transactions. In the event of a Major Transaction, the Company
will give each Holder at least twenty (20) Trading Days' written notice prior to
the earlier of (I) the closing or effectiveness of such Major Transaction and
(II) the record date for the receipt of such shares of stock or securities or
other assets, and: (i) each Holder shall be permitted to convert the Preferred
Shares held by such Holder in whole or in part at any time prior to the record
date for the receipt of such consideration and shall be entitled to receive, for
each share of Common Stock issuable to such Holder upon such exercise, the same
per share consideration payable to the other holders of Common Stock in
connection with such Major Transaction, and (ii) if and to the extent that a
Holder retains any Preferred Shares following such record date, the Company will
cause the surviving or, in the event of a sale of assets, purchasing entity, as
a condition precedent to such Major Transaction, to assume the obligations of
the Company with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, with such adjustments
to the Conversion Price and the securities

                                      -21-


covered hereby as may be necessary in order to preserve the economic benefits of
the Series A Preferred Stock to such Holder.

     (f) Adjustments; Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that
at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, each
Holder shall, upon conversion of such Holder's Preferred Shares, become entitled
to receive securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to
refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and
thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 8.

9.   MANDATORY CONVERSION.

     (a) Mandatory Conversion. In the event that, at any time following the
Closing Date, all of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are satisfied on each
of ten (10) Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) occurring during any
period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (a "Mandatory Conversion
Period"), the Company shall have the right to require Conversion of some or all
of the Preferred Shares then outstanding (a "Mandatory Conversion") in
accordance with paragraph (b) below. In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, the
Company and the Holder shall follow the procedures for Conversion and the
delivery of Conversion Shares set forth in Section 5 above, with the Mandatory
Conversion Date (as defined below) deemed to be the Conversion Date for purposes
of Section 5 and, in the event of the Company's failure to effect such delivery
of the applicable Delivery Date therefor (as determined in accordance with
Section 5(d)), such Holder shall have the remedies specified in Section 5(e).

     (b) Mandatory Conversion Notice. In order to effect a Mandatory Conversion
hereunder, the Company must deliver to each Holder written notice thereof (a
"Mandatory Conversion Notice") on or before 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on or
before the Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the
Mandatory Conversion Period, and the Mandatory Conversion shall be effective on
the fifth (5th) Trading Day following delivery of such Mandatory Conversion
Notice (such fifth (5th) Trading Day being the "Mandatory Conversion Date").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not have the right to require
Conversion of the Preferred Shares, unless each of the Mandatory Conversion
Conditions (other than the Mandatory Conversion Condition with respect to the
VWAP) is satisfied on each Trading Day during the period commencing on the last
day of the Mandatory Conversion Period and ending on the Mandatory Conversion
Date. Notwithstanding the delivery by the Company of a Mandatory Conversion
Notice, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way (i) the
right of a Holder to convert such Holder's Preferred Shares prior to the
Mandatory Conversion Date or (ii) the availability of any and all rights and
remedies that are provided to a Holder under this Certificate, including without
limitation in the event that the Company fails to deliver Conversion Shares upon
a Mandatory Conversion as required by the terms of Sections 9(a) and 5 hereof.
The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall specify the aggregate Liquidation
Preference for the Preferred Shares that are subject to the Mandatory
Conversion, provided that the aggregate number of Preferred Shares subject to a
Mandatory Conversion shall be allocated

                                      -22-


to the Holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Preferred
Shares held by each Holder.

     (c) Limitation on Number of Shares subject to Mandatory Conversion.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not
have the right to effect a Mandatory Conversion hereunder with respect to a
Holder's Preferred Shares to the extent that any such conversion would result in
the issuance by the Company to such Holder, during the period of sixty
consecutive calendar days ending on (and including) the Mandatory Conversion
Date, of a number of shares of Common Stock (including all shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to conversions effected in accordance with Section 5
hereof during such sixty day period) that exceeds 4.99% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

     (d) Subsequent Mandatory Conversion. In the event that the Mandatory
Conversion of a Holder's Preferred Shares is limited pursuant to paragraph (c),
above, then the Company may effect such additional Mandatory Conversions (each,
a "Subsequent Mandatory Conversion") as are necessary to effect the Mandatory
Conversion of the remainder of such Holder's Preferred Shares, each such
Subsequent Mandatory Conversions to be effective not less than twenty (20)
Trading Days following the immediately preceding Mandatory Conversion or
Subsequent Mandatory Conversion (as the case may be); provided, that each of the
Mandatory Conversion Conditions, other than the Mandatory Conversion Condition
with respect to the VWAP, must be satisfied with respect to any such Subsequent
Mandatory Conversion; and provided further, that the limitations set forth in
paragraph (c) above shall apply to each such Subsequent Mandatory Conversion.

10.  REDEMPTION.

     (a) Mandatory Redemption. In the event that a Fundamental Change occurs,
each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any
portion of the Preferred Shares held by such Holder (a "Mandatory Redemption")
at the Mandatory Redemption Price (as defined below). In order to exercise its
right to effect a Mandatory Redemption, a Holder must deliver a written notice
(a "Mandatory Redemption Notice") to the Company at any time on or before 6:00
p.m. (eastern time) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Business Day
on which the Fundamental Change to which such Mandatory Redemption Notice
relates is no longer continuing or, in the event of a Fundamental Change that is
a Change of Control or a Liquidation Event, on or before 6:00 p.m. (eastern
time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the later of the completion or
the public announcement of such Change of Control or Liquidation Event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Holder wishes to exercise its
Mandatory Redemption rights upon the first occurrence of a Fundamental Change
described in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of such term, the Holder must
deliver a Mandatory Redemption Notice to the Company not later than 6:00 p.m.
(eastern time) on the Business Day on which the Fundamental Change to which such
Mandatory Redemption Notice relates is no longer continuing. The Mandatory
Redemption Notice shall specify the effective date of such Mandatory Redemption
(the "Mandatory Redemption Date") (such date not to be later than the date that
is thirty calendar days following the date of the Mandatory Redemption Notice)
and the number of such shares to be redeemed.

                                      -23-


     (b) Mandatory Redemption Price. The "Mandatory Redemption Price" shall be
equal to the sum of (x) the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being redeemed
times one hundred one percent (101%) plus (y) the unpaid Dividend Amount with
respect to the Preferred Shares being redeemed; provided, however, that in the
event that the Fundamental Change giving rise to a Holder's right to effect a
Mandatory Redemption is a Change of Control, then the "Mandatory Redemption
Price" shall be equal to:

          (i) the sum of (x) the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being
     redeemed times one hundred twenty percent (120%) plus (y) the unpaid
     Dividend Amount with respect to the Preferred Shares being redeemed, if
     such Change of Control occurs on or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of
     the Closing Date;

          (ii) the sum of (x) the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being
     redeemed times one hundred fifteen percent (115%) plus (y) the unpaid
     Dividend Amount with respect to the Preferred Shares being redeemed, if
     such Change of Control occurs after the first (1st) anniversary of the
     Closing Date and on or prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing
     Date; and

          (iii) the sum of (x) the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares being
     redeemed times one hundred ten percent (110%) plus (y) the unpaid Dividend
     Amount with respect to the Preferred Shares being redeemed, if such Change
     of Control occurs after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date.

     (c) Payment of Mandatory Redemption Price.

          (i) The Company shall pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to the Holder
     exercising its right to redemption on the later to occur of (A) the fifth
     (5th) Business Day following the Mandatory Redemption Date and (B) the
     first Business Day following the date on which the Preferred Shares being
     redeemed are delivered by the Investor to the Company for cancellation (the
     "Mandatory Redemption Payment Date").

          (ii) If Company fails to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to a
     Holder on or before the Mandatory Redemption Date, such Holder shall be
     entitled to interest thereon, from and after the Mandatory Redemption
     Payment Date until the Mandatory Redemption Price has been paid in full, at
     an annual rate equal to the Default Interest Rate.

                                      -24-


11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) Transfer of Preferred Shares. Upon notice to the Company (except that
no such notice shall be required in the case of a pledge), a Holder may sell,
transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the
Preferred Shares to any person or entity as long as such transaction is the
subject of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or is
exempt from registration thereunder and otherwise is made in accordance with the
terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. From and after the date of any such
sale or transfer, the transferee thereof shall be deemed to be a Holder. Upon
any such sale or transfer, the Company shall, promptly following the return of
the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares that are the
subject of such sale or transfer, issue and deliver to such transferee a new
certificate in the name of such transferee.

     (b) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be
given by the Company or an Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally
or by verifiable facsimile transmission (immediately followed by written
confirmation delivered according to another mechanism provided by this section),
unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case
such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
(ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and
(iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail
(certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid),
addressed as follows:

                  Fax:  (212) 557-0295

and if to any Holder, to such address for such Holder as shall be designated by
such Holder in writing to the Company.

     (c) Lost or Stolen Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a certificate representing a
Holder's Preferred Shares, and (in the

                                      -25-


case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, and upon surrender and
cancellation of such certificate if mutilated, the Company shall execute and
deliver to such Holder a new certificate identical in all respects to the
original certificate.

     (d) No Voting Rights. Except as provided by applicable law and paragraph
11(g) below, the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights
with respect to the business, management or affairs of the Company; provided
that the Company shall provide each Holder with prior notification of each
meeting of stockholders (and copies of proxy statements and other information
sent to such stockholders).

     (e) Remedies. The remedies provided to a Holder in this Certificate shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder
under this Certificate or under any Transaction Document (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), at law or in equity (including without
limitation a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No
remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the
provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing contained herein shall limit
such Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to
comply with the terms of this Certificate. Amounts set forth or provided for
herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation
thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder hereof and shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the
Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a material
breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the
Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company agrees, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each
Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek
an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security or indemnity being required.

     (f) Failure or Delay not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a
Holder 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 any other or further exercise thereof or of any
other right, power or privilege.

     (g) Protective Provisions. So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the written
approval of the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares
of Series A Preferred Stock:

          (i) alter, change, modify or amend (x) the terms of the Series A
Preferred Stock in any way or (y) the terms of any other capital stock of the
Company so as to affect adversely the Series A Preferred Stock;

          (ii) create any new class or series of capital stock having a
preference over or ranking pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation
Event or any other liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;

                                      -26-


          (iii) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock;

          (iv) re-issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have been
converted or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof;

          (v) issue any Pari Passu Securities or Senior Securities; provided,
that the Company may issue Permitted Debt; and provided further, that the
restriction set forth in this clause (v) shall terminate on the earlier to occur
of the Preferred Stock Termination Date and the Milestone Date;

          (vi) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value, or declare, pay
or make any provision for any dividend or distribution with respect to Junior
Securities, other than the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in the
event of a stock split, stock dividend, the exercise of warrants or conversion
rights or similar transaction; or

          (vii) issue any Series A Preferred Stock except pursuant to the terms
of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     In the event that the Holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock agree to allow the Company to alter or change
the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Company will deliver notice of such
approved change to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock that did not
agree to such alteration or change (the "Dissenting Holders") and the Dissenting
Holders shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) days following such
delivery to convert their Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms hereof as such
terms existed prior to such alteration or change, or to continue to hold such
Preferred Shares as so modified. No such change shall be effective to the extent
that, by its terms, such change applies to less than all of the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
