  (d)        Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible, Redeemable Preferred Stock

        Pursuant to this Article IV, there is hereby designated, created and provided for a series of Preferred Stock, which shall be designated as the Series A Convertible, Redeemable Preferred Stock, shall consist of 30,000 shares, and shall have the preferences, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and rights as set forth in the following Certificate of Designation:

  Section 1.       Dividends.

        1A.        General Obligation. When and as declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and to the extent permitted under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends in cash to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) as provided in this Section 1. Except as otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 7B(i)), dividends on each share of the Series A Preferred (a “Share”) shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 4% per annum on the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the first to occur of (i) the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon or applicable Redemption Price is paid to the holder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the Corporation or the redemption of such Share by the Corporation, (ii) the date on which such Share is converted into shares of Conversion Stock hereunder or (iii) the date on which such share is otherwise acquired by the Corporation; provided that, as of any date of determination, the dividends that have accrued pursuant to this Section 1A shall be reduced (but in no event to less than $0) by the amount of dividends (if any) that have been paid pursuant to Section 1D since the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date (including on the current Dividend Payment Date, if applicable). Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share.

        1B.        Dividend Payment Dates. All dividends which have accrued on the Series A Preferred shall be payable in cash on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, beginning July 31, 2003 (the “Dividend Payment Dates”), and to the extent not paid on any Dividend Payment Date, all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the three-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Dividend Payment Date) ending upon each such Dividend Payment Date shall be accumulated and shall remain accumulated dividends with respect to such Share until paid to the holder thereof.

        1C.        Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series A Preferred, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on the Shares held by each such holder.

-5-

        1D.        Participating Dividends. In addition to any other dividends accruing or declared hereunder, in the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property) other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation also shall declare and pay to the holders of the Series A Preferred, at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred had all of the outstanding Series A Preferred been converted immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or, if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

         Section 2.       Liquidation.

        2A.        Liquidation Events. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary) (a “Liquidation Event”), each holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such holder plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the aggregate amount that would be paid in connection with such Liquidation Event with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Shares held by such holder had all of the outstanding Series A Preferred been converted immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, and the holders of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment. If upon any such Liquidation Event the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid under this Section 2A, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Series A Preferred held by each such holder.

        2B.        Notice. Not less than 40 days and not more than 90 days prior to the payment date stated therein, the Corporation shall deliver written notice of any such Liquidation Event, and not less than 40 days and not more than 90 days prior to consummating any transaction deemed a Liquidation Event as described in Section 2C below, the Corporation shall deliver written notice of such transaction, in each case to each record holder of Series A Preferred, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of proceeds to be paid with respect to each Share and each share of Common Stock in connection with such Liquidation Event or the terms of such transaction described in Section 2C (including the amount to be paid with respect to each Share and each share of Common Stock in connection therewith), as the case may be.

        2C.        Deemed Liquidation Events. Upon the election of the Majority Holders delivered to the Corporation within 15 days after receipt of the Corporation’s notice to the holders of Series A Preferred under Section 2B, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity or entities (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity) or any sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or substantially all of its assets (determined either for the Corporation alone or with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) or any sale, transfer or issuance or series of sales, transfers and/or issuances of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock by the Corporation or the beneficial or record holders thereof as a result of which such holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors immediately prior to such sale or issuance cease to own the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event for purposes of this Section 2, and the holders of the Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive a payment from the Corporation equal to the amounts payable with respect to the Series A Preferred upon a Liquidation Event under this Section 2 (the “Liquidation Payment Amount”) in cancellation of their Shares upon the consummation of any such transaction; provided that the foregoing provision shall not apply to any merger in which (i) the Corporation is the surviving entity, (ii) the terms of the Series A Preferred are not changed and the Series A Preferred is not exchanged for any cash, securities or other property, (iii) the beneficial holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock immediately prior to the merger shall continue to own the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect

-6-

a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and (iv) no Person or group of Persons (as the term “group” is used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than the holders of Series A Preferred as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, has “beneficial ownership” (as that term is used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 25% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of any such election of the Majority Holders to all other holders of Series A Preferred within five days after the receipt thereof, and each such holder shall have until the fifth business day prior to the date of consummation of such deemed Liquidation Event to demand payment from the Corporation of the Liquidation Payment Amount in cancellation of their Shares upon the consummation of any such transaction. The Majority Holders shall have the right to elect the benefits of either this Section 2 or Section 3J hereof in connection with any such merger, consolidation or sale of assets.

         Section 3.       Redemptions.

        3A.        Offers by Corporation to Redeem. The Corporation may offer to redeem 10,000 Shares of Series A Preferred (as such number of shares is proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events) (or such lesser number of Shares then outstanding) (such number of Shares, the “Offered Shares,” and such offer to redeem the Offered Shares, a “Redemption Offer”) on July 31 of each of years 2006, 2007 and 2008 (the “Scheduled Offered Redemption Dates”), by giving written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred of such election not more than 90 nor less than 60 days prior to each applicable Scheduled Offered Redemption Date. The Majority Holders may accept such Redemption Offer with respect to all or any portion of their Shares (the “Majority Holders’ Accepted Shares”) by giving written notice to the Corporation on or prior to July 1 of such year. Upon receipt of such notice, the Corporation (a) shall give written notice of such acceptance to all other holders of Series A Preferred within five days of any such acceptance by the Majority Holders, and such other holders may request redemption with respect to all or any portion of their Shares of Series A Preferred (such Shares, together with the Majority Holders’ Accepted Shares, the “Accepted Shares”) by delivering written notice to the Corporation on or prior to July 16 of such year, and (b) shall be obligated to redeem all Accepted Shares up to (but not in excess of) the number of Offered Shares on the applicable Scheduled Offered Redemption Date at a price per Share equal to the Premium Redemption Price.

-7-

        3B.        Demand by Majority Holders to Redeem. The Majority Holders may demand redemption of up to 10,000 Shares of Series A Preferred (as such number of shares is proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events) (or such lesser number of Shares then outstanding) (such number of Shares, the “Maximum Demand Shares,” and such demand for redemption of the Demand Shares, a “Redemption Demand”) on July 31 of each of (i) 2009, if the Corporation did not make a Redemption Offer, or did not pay in full the Redemption Price for all Accepted Shares (up to the number of Offered Shares), on the first Scheduled Offered Redemption Date, (ii) 2010, if the Corporation did not make a Redemption Offer, or did not pay in full the Redemption Price for all Accepted Shares (up to the number of Offered Shares), on the second Scheduled Offered Redemption Date, and (iii) 2011, if the Corporation did not make a Redemption Offer, or did not pay in full the Redemption Price for all Accepted Shares (up to the number of Offered Shares), on the third Scheduled Offered Redemption Date (each such July 31, a “Scheduled Demand Redemption Date”). The Shares with respect to which a Redemption Demand has been made are referred to herein as the “Demand Shares.” The Majority Holders may exercise any of the three Redemption Demands by giving written notice to the Corporation not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to the applicable Scheduled Demand Redemption Date. Within five days after receipt of such notice, the Corporation shall give written notice of such demand to all other holders of Series A Preferred, and such other holders may demand redemption of their Shares of Series A Preferred by delivering written notice to the Corporation on or prior to the July 16 immediately preceding the applicable Scheduled Demand Redemption Date. The Corporation shall be obligated to redeem the Shares with respect to which a Redemption Demand has been made (but in no event more than the number of Maximum Demand Shares) on the applicable Scheduled Demand Redemption Date at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price.

        3C.        Redemption At the Corporation’s Option. If, at any time after June 6, 2008 (subject to the provisions of this Section 3C), (i) with respect to any redemption pursuant to this Section 3C for which the Corporation is giving written notice of such redemption on or before July 31, 2011, the Corporation has made all Redemption Offers with respect to each Scheduled Offered Redemption Date on or prior to the date of determination and (ii) the Majority Holders have not provided their written consent or other affirmative vote to approve a Change of Ownership, Fundamental Change or Organic Change (for which the Corporation has a bona fide intent to consummate and has obtained an opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking or appraisal firm that such Change of Ownership, Fundamental Change or Organic Change is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders) within 30 days after receiving the Corporation’s request for approval thereof, together with all information reasonably necessary to make a determination whether or not to approve such Change of Ownership, Fundamental Change or Organic Change and such other information as reasonably requested, then the Corporation may redeem all (but not less than all) of the Shares of Series A Preferred then outstanding. The Corporation may exercise such redemption right by giving written notice to the holders of Series A Preferred of such election not more than 60 days after the Corporation’s request for approval thereof and not less than 15 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Upon mailing its election to redeem the outstanding Shares pursuant to this Section 3C, the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem all outstanding Shares on the date specified in such notice (which shall be no later than 60 days after the Corporation’s request for approval and no earlier than 15 days after the date of the Corporation’s written notice of its election) at a price per Share equal to the greater of (i) the Premium Redemption Price and (ii) the Cash Redemption Price.

-8-

        3D.        Redemption Payments. For each Share which is to be redeemed hereunder, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation’s principal office of the certificate representing such Share) an amount in cash equal to the Cash Redemption Price or Premium Redemption Price, as applicable. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares pro rata among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate applicable Redemption Price of such Shares held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

        3E.        Upon Notice of Redemption. Upon mailing any notice of a Redemption Offer, the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem the total number of Shares specified in such notice (or such lesser number of Accepted Shares) at the time of redemption specified therein in accordance with the applicable paragraph of this Section 3. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed in any redemption hereunder, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Shares.

        3F.        Determination of the Number of Each Holder’s Shares to be Redeemed. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Shares of Series A Preferred to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Shares to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares then outstanding, but in no event more than the number of Shares of which such holder has accepted or requested redemption; provided that, with respect to any redemption pursuant to Section 3A or Section 3B, if application of the foregoing results in a lesser number of Shares to be redeemed than the Offered Shares or Maximum Demand Shares (as applicable) and additional Accepted Shares or Demand Shares (as applicable) remain, then the foregoing will be re-applied with respect to the holders of such additional Accepted Shares or Demand Shares (as applicable) until no more Accepted Shares or Demand Shares remain or, if a lesser number, until the calculation has resulted in a determination of Shares to be redeemed equal to the Offered Shares or Maximum Demand Shares.

        3G.        Dividends After Redemption Date. No Share shall be entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the applicable Redemption Price specified herein is paid to the holder of such Share. On such date, all rights of the holder of such Share shall cease, and such Share shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding.

-9-

        3H.        Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.

        3I.        Other Redemptions or Acquisitions. The Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem or otherwise acquire any Shares of Series A Preferred, except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a purchase offer made pro rata to all holders of Series A Preferred on the basis of the number of Shares owned by each such holder.

        3J.        Special Redemptions.

        (i)        If a Change in Ownership has occurred or the Corporation obtains knowledge that a Change in Ownership is proposed to occur, the Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such Change in Ownership describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each holder of Series A Preferred, but in any event such notice shall not be given later than five days after the occurrence of such Change in Ownership, and the Corporation shall give each holder of Series A Preferred prompt written notice of any material change in the terms or timing of such transaction. The Majority Holders may require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred owned by such holder or holders at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election prior to the later of (a) 21 days after receipt of the Corporation’s notice and (b) fifteen days prior to the consummation of the Change in Ownership (the “Expiration Date”). The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of any such election to require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred to all other holders of Series A Preferred within five days after the receipt thereof, and each such holder shall have until the later of (a) the Expiration Date or (b) ten days after receipt of such second notice to request redemption hereunder (by giving written notice to the Corporation) of all or any portion of the Series A Preferred owned by such holder.

-10-

        Upon receipt of such election(s), the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem the aggregate number of Shares specified therein on the later of (a) the occurrence of the Change in Ownership or (b) five days after the Corporation’s receipt of such election(s). If any proposed Change in Ownership does not occur, all requests for redemption in connection therewith shall be automatically rescinded, or if there has been a material change in the terms or the timing of the transaction, any holder of Series A Preferred may rescind such holder’s request for redemption by giving written notice of such rescission to the Corporation.

        (ii)        If a Fundamental Change is proposed to occur, the Corporation shall give written notice of such Fundamental Change describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each holder of Series A Preferred not more than 45 days nor less than 20 days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change, and the Corporation shall give each holder of Series A Preferred prompt written notice of any material change in the terms or timing of such transaction. The Majority Holders may require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Series A Preferred owned by such holder or holders at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election prior to the later of (a) fifteen days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change or (b) ten days after receipt of notice from the Corporation. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such election to all other holders of Series A Preferred (but in any event within five days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change), and each such holder shall have until two days after the receipt of such notice to request redemption (by written notice given to the Corporation) of all or any portion of the Series A Preferred owned by such holder.

        Upon receipt of such election(s), the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem the aggregate number of Shares specified therein upon the consummation of such Fundamental Change. If any proposed Fundamental Change does not occur, all requests for redemption in connection therewith shall be automatically rescinded, or if there has been a material change in the terms or the timing of the transaction, any holder of Series A Preferred may rescind such holder’s request for redemption by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation prior to the consummation of the transaction.

         Section 4.       Voting Rights.

        4A.        Election of Directors. In the election of directors of the Corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred, voting separately as a single series to the exclusion of all other classes and series of the Corporation’s capital stock and with each Share of Series A Preferred entitled to one vote, shall be entitled (so long as Frontenac is the Majority Holder, but in no event at any time that Frontenac is not the Majority Holder) at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders to elect two directors to serve as members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (each, a “Series A Director”), each until his successor is duly elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred, subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal or termination of term of office in accordance with this Section 4A. The Series A Directors so elected shall be in addition to the directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation, and shall in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Corporation’s bylaws increase the maximum number of directors otherwise permitted pursuant to the Corporation’s bylaws. Any Series A Directors so elected shall not be divided into classes.

        (i)        Initial Appointment. Upon the initial issuance of any Series A Preferred, the vacancies resulting from the directorships newly created hereby shall be filled by a vote of the other directors on the Board of Directors.

        (ii)        Subsequent Designation and Election. At any time that the holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to elect Series A Directors pursuant to Section 4A above, the individuals designated by the Majority Holders shall be elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred as the Series A Directors and all holders of Series A Preferred (other than BVCF IV, L.P.) shall vote their Shares in such a manner to effect the election of the Series A Directors designated by the Majority Holders.

        (iii)        Qualifications; Disqualification; Resignation; Termination of Term; Removal; and Vacancies.

    (a)              Qualification. Notwithstanding appointment or election to the Board of Directors, a Series A Director’s qualification to serve on the Board of Directors is subject to compliance with any then existing applicable local, state or federal law or regulations governing the business operations of the Corporation and the Corporation’s directors generally, including but not limited to such Series A Director’s approval as a “controlling person” of the Corporation by any agency with jurisdiction over any of the Corporation’s business operations.


-11-

    (b)              Resignation. A Series A Director may resign from the Board of Directors at any time by giving written notice to the Corporation at its principal executive office. The resignation is effective without acceptance when the notice is given to the Corporation, unless a later effective time is specified in the notice.


    (c)              Termination of Term of Office. So long as any Series A Preferred remains outstanding and Frontenac is the Majority Holder, the term of office of any Series A Director may be terminated only by the Majority Holders. The term of office of the Series A Directors shall automatically terminate on the date on which Frontenac is no longer the Majority Holder.


    (d)              Removal. So long as any Series A Preferred remains outstanding, any Series A Director may be removed only by (I) a written direction of removal delivered to the Corporation by the Majority Holders or (II) a resolution of the Board of Directors excluding such Series A Director if such Series A Director fails to meet the requirements for qualification provided for in Section 4A(iii)(a).


    (e)              Vacancies. In the event of a vacancy on the Board resulting from the death, disqualification, resignation, retirement or termination of term of office of a Series A Director designated by the Majority Holders, the resulting vacancy shall be filled by a representative designated in a writing to the Corporation by the Majority Holders, until the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders (and at such meeting, such representative, or another representative designated by the Majority Holders, will be elected to the Board in the manner described in this Section 4A). If the Majority Holders fail or decline to fill the vacancy, then the directorship shall remain open until such time as the Majority Holders elect to fill it with a representative designated hereunder. During any such period that the Majority Holders are entitled to, but have failed or declined to, designate a Series A Director, the Majority Holders shall have the right to designate one representative to attend all Board of Directors meetings as a non-voting observer.

         Section 5.          Conversion.

         Section 5A.       Conversion Procedure.

        (i)        At any time and from time to time, any holder of Series A Preferred may convert (without the payment of any additional consideration) all or any portion of the Series A Preferred (including any fraction of a Share) held by such holder into a number of shares of Conversion Stock computed by multiplying the number of Shares to be converted by $1,000 and dividing the result by the Conversion Price then in effect.

        (ii)        If, at any time or from time to time after June 6, 2005, the average closing prices for the Corporation’s Common Stock on the principal securities market on which it is traded has equaled or exceeded $21.76 (as such amount is proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications and like transactions affecting the Common Stock) for a period of at least the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Liquidity Notice (as defined below), then, contingent upon and effective as of the consummation of a Liquidity Event (as defined below), all shares of Series A Preferred outstanding immediately after the consummation of such Liquidity Event automatically (without any further action on the part of any holders of Shares or the Corporation) shall convert (without the payment of any additional consideration) into a number of shares of Conversion Stock computed by multiplying the number of Shares to be converted by $1,000 and dividing the result by the Conversion Price then in effect. The Corporation may initiate a Liquidity Event by delivering written notice of its election (a “Liquidity Notice”), describing in reasonable detail (if known) the anticipated number of shares to with respect to which such Liquidity Event shall be consummated, the proposed method(s) of the Liquidity Event and any terms and conditions thereof, to each holder of Series A Preferred, whereupon the Corporation shall be obligated to consummate a Liquidity Event (whether a Registration, a Repurchase or both) in accordance with the terms hereof as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 180 days after the date of the Liquidity Notice). If the Liquidity Event is to be consummated with respect to less than the total number of shares of

-17-

Underlying Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior thereto, each holder shall be required to sell in the Liquidity Event a total number of shares of Underlying Common Stock determined by multiplying the total number of shares to be sold in such Liquidity Event times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Underlying Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Liquidity Event and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Underlying Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Liquidity Event (such number of shares required to be sold by each holder is referred to as such holder’s “Required Shares”). Any Shares to be sold in a Registration shall convert into shares of Conversion Stock immediately prior to (and contingent upon) consummation of the Registration. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the corporation has delivered a Liquidity Notice and has failed to fulfill its obligation to consummate a Liquidity Event within 180 days, the Corporation shall be entitled to deliver only one additional Liquidity Notice (and no more) pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof no later than two years after the date of delivery of the original Liquidity Notice; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to waive any breach of the Corporation’s obligations upon delivering an initial Liquidity Notice.

        (iii)        A “Liquidity Event” means, at the Corporation’s election, (a) the consummation of an underwritten Public Offering (arranged for and paid by the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Registration Agreement with expenses to be paid as provided for in the Registration Agreement) (a “Registration”) or (b) the closing of a purchase by the Corporation (a “Repurchase”) or (c) a combination of the two, in each case pursuant to which the holders of Series A Preferred receive with respect to at least 50% of their outstanding Series A Preferred cash in an amount per share of Underlying Common Stock at least equal to the Liquidity Price (as defined below). “Liquidity Price” means a price per share of Underlying Common Stock with respect to which the Liquidity Event is being consummated equal to (a) the price paid by the public per share of Common Stock before underwriters’ discounts and commissions if the Liquidity Event for such share of Underlying Common Stock is a Registration and (b) the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date of consummation of the Liquidity Event if the Liquidity Event for such share of Underlying Common Stock is a Repurchase, but in either case in no event shall the Liquidity Price for such share of Underlying Common Stock be less than $21.76 (as such amount is proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events affecting the Common Stock).

        (iv)        Except as otherwise provided herein, each conversion of Series A Preferred shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which the certificate or certificates representing the Series A Preferred to be converted have been surrendered for conversion at the principal office of the Corporation. At the time any such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of the Shares converted as a holder of Series A Preferred shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Conversion Stock represented thereby.

        (v)        The conversion rights of any Share subject to redemption hereunder shall terminate on the Redemption Date for such Share unless the Corporation has failed to pay to the holder thereof the applicable Redemption Price for such Share.

-18-

        (vi)        Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a conversion of Series A Preferred is to be made in connection with a Change in Ownership, a Fundamental Change or other transaction affecting the Corporation, the conversion of any Shares of Series A Preferred may, at the election of the holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such transaction has been consummated.

        (vii)        As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within three business days in the case of Section 5A(vii)(a) below), the Corporation shall deliver to the converting holder:

    (a)               a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified;


    (b)               payment in an amount equal to all accrued dividends with respect to each Share converted which have not been paid prior thereto; and


    (c)               a certificate representing any Shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.


        (viii)        The Corporation shall declare the payment of all dividends payable under Section 5A(vii)(b) above. If the Corporation is not permitted under applicable law to pay any portion of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred being converted, the Corporation shall pay such dividends to the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the Corporation are legally available for such payment. At the request of any such converting holder, the Corporation shall provide such holder with written evidence of its obligation to such holder.

        (ix)        The issuance of certificates for shares of Conversion Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred shall be made without charge to the holders of such Series A Preferred for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Conversion Stock. Upon conversion of each Share, the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Conversion Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

        (x)        The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of Series A Preferred or of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Series A Preferred. The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder of Shares required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Shares hereunder (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Corporation).

        (xi)        The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred, such number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred. All shares of Conversion Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Conversion Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Conversion Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred.

-19-

        5B.        Conversion Price.

        (i)        The initial Conversion Price shall be $5.44. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 5, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 5B, Section 5D, Section 5E and Section 5F.

        (ii)        If and whenever the Corporation issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 5C is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of its Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale or deemed issue or sale the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Conversion Price determined by dividing (a) the sum of (1) the product derived by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issue or sale, by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.

        (iii)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price hereunder with respect to (A) issuances of up to an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock (or of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock) (including the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of Options outstanding as of March 5, 2003) to officers, directors or employees of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries pursuant to employee benefit plans approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors (as such number of shares is proportionately adjusted for subsequent stock splits, combinations, dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications and similar events affecting the Common Stock and as such number includes all such stock options and purchase rights outstanding as of March 5, 2003), (B) issuances of Common Stock to employees of the Company pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (C) issuances of Common Stock (or of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock) in connection with acquisitions approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, or (D) issuances of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred.

        5C.        Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 5B, the following shall be applicable:

-20-

        (i)        Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Corporation in any manner grants or sells any Options and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options, or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options, is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the granting or sale of such Options for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 5C(i), the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of all such Options, plus in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Convertible Securities are actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or when Common Stock is actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

        (ii)        Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 5C(ii), the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable” shall be determined by dividing (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made when Common Stock is actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustments of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 5, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

        (iii)        Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be immediately adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of Section 5C, if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change; provided that no such change shall at any time cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be increased.

-21-

        (iv)        Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration of any Option or the termination of any right to convert or exchange any Convertible Security without the exercise of any such Option or right, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall be adjusted immediately to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Security, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued. For purposes of Section 5C, the expiration or termination of any Option or Convertible Security which was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred shall not cause the Conversion Price hereunder to be adjusted unless, and only to the extent that, a change in the terms of such Option or Convertible Security caused it to be deemed to have been issued after the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred.

        (v)        Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefor (net of discounts, commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. If any Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security is issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash and securities shall be determined jointly by the Corporation and the Majority Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within a reasonable period of time, the fair value of such consideration shall be determined by an independent appraiser experienced in valuing such type of consideration jointly selected by the Corporation and the Majority Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne one-half by the Corporation and one-half the holders of the Series A Preferred (pro rata based on the number of Shares held by each such holder).

        (vi)        Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Option by the parties thereto, the Option shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.

-22-

        (vii)        Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

        (viii)        Record Date. If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (a) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (b) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

        5D.        Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

In each such case, the Corporation shall also make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders) to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 6 hereof shall thereafter be applicable to the Series A Preferred (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Series A Preferred, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price determined as of the date of such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

        5F.        Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5 or decrease the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of each Share of Series A Preferred.

        If the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Plan) occurs, the Corporation shall issue to each holder of Series A Preferred a number of rights (“New Rights”) equal to the number of Rights (as defined in the Rights Plan) such holder would have held if such holder had held the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable upon conversion of such holder’s Series A Preferred immediately prior to the Distribution Date.
