The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefor free of any transfer legend if (i) the Company or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act and the shares are so sold or transferred, (ii) such Holder provides the Company or its transfer agent with reasonable assurances that the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock (to the extent such securities are deemed to have been acquired on the same date) can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.

If the Reserved Amount for any three (3) consecutive trading days (the last of such three (3) trading days being the “Authorization Trigger Date”) is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on such trading days upon conversion of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock (without giving effect to any limitation on conversion or exercise thereof) then the Company shall immediately notify the Holders of such occurrence and shall immediately take all necessary action (including stockholder approval to authorize the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock) to increase the Reserved Amount to one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock (without giving effect to any limitation on conversion or exercise thereof).
 
VI.   FAILURE TO CONVERT

Such certificate shall also include a reserve equal to nine and three hundred seventy-five one thousands per cent (9.375%) of net income for redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Fund”) and state that, except as noted, from the end of the last fiscal year through the end of the most recent fiscal year there has been no

Material Adverse Change in the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities, business, operations or prospects of the Company.
 
B. Application of Redemption Fund. The Redemption Fund shall be applied no later than 120 days from the end of each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 ratably to the redemption of as many outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock designated to this series as can be redeemed through the application of funds therefrom without preference or priority as to any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holders thereof. In the event any such Holder declines redemption or fails to submit shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for redemption on or before the Redemption Date, the amount of the Redemption Fund allocated to the Declining Holder or Holders shall be reallocated ratably to the remaining Holders who have elected to redeem.
 
C.  Audited Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably possible after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, but no later than 120 days after the fiscal year end, the Company shall deliver to each Holder copies of the Financial Statements that include an audit report of the Company's independent certified public accountants to the effect that: such Financial Statements (i) present fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, the financial position of the Company as of the fiscal year end, (ii) make full and adequate provision for all reserves, liabilities and obligations (fixed or contingent) of the Company as of such time, to the extent such liabilities, alone or in the aggregate, are required to be reflected or reserved against in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied; and (iii) establish the definitive amount of the Redemption Fund as of such time.
 
D.  Demand for Redemption. The Financial Statements and audit report shall be accompanied by a form of written demand to be used by such Holder to exercise his right of redemption (a “Demand Form”) and a notice which shall disclose the right of such Holder to require the Company to redeem such Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section VII, and shall state the redemption date, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates representing the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the date of which such Holder must notify the Company if it elects to require the Company to make such redemption, the then-effective conversion rate pursuant to Section IV, and that the right of Holders to convert shall terminate at the close of business on the fifth business day prior to the redemption date. Each record Holder of Convertible Preferred Stock that elects to require the Company to redeem on the redemption date all of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that such Holder owns shall deliver to the Company not later than the redemption date a completed Demand Form relating to the Convertible Preferred Stack to be redeemed. The term “Redemption Date,” shall mean the close of business on the 120th day after the Company’s fiscal year end.
 
E.  Notices. Any notice by the Company which is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder of Convertible Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to the Holders of any shares shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. An election by a Holder of Convertible Preferred Stock to have the Company redeem such stock pursuant to this Section VII shall become irrevocable on the relevant Redemption Date as stated in any notice delivered by the Company, each Holder of the shares called for redemption shall surrender the certificates evidencing such shares to the Company at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the relevant redemption price in accordance with the terms of this Section VII. If less than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. If, on the date fixed for redemption under any provision of this Section VII, funds necessary for the redemption shall be available therefor and shall have been reserved on the Financial Statement as required by this Section VII, then in the case of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock covered by a Demand Form, after the close of business on the Redemption Date, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any shares which the Holders thereof had elected to have redeemed shall not have been surrendered, the Holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders, and all rights whatsoever with respect to such shares (except the right of the Holders to

receive the relevant Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates therefor) shall terminate.
 
VIII.   RANK; PARTICIPATION
 
A. Rank. All shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank (i) prior to the Common Stock; (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created (unless, with the consent of a majority of the Holders obtained in accordance with Article XII hereof, such hereafter created class or series of capital stock specifically, by its terms, ranks senior to or pari passu with the Convertible Preferred Stock) (collectively, with the Common Stock, “Junior Securities”); (iii) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created (with the consent of a majority of the Holders obtained in accordance with Article XII hereof) specifically ranking, by its terms, on parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Pari Passu Securities”); (iv) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created (with the consent of a majority of the Holders obtained in accordance with Article XII hereof) specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Senior Securities”), (v) pari passu with the Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, and (vi) junior to the Series E Exchangeable Preferred Stock and the Series G Exchangeable Preferred Stock, in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.
 
B.  Participation. Subject to the rights of the holders (if any) of pari passu Securities and Senior Securities, the Holders shall, as such Holders, be entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere contained) and had been issued such Common Stock on the day before the record date for said dividend or distribution. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.
 
IX.   LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
 
A. Liquidation of the Company. If the Company shall commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days and, on account of any such event, the Company shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Company shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution shall be made to the Holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Senior Securities and, together with the Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock the Pari Passu Securities) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the Holders shall have received the Liquidation Preference (as herein defined) with respect to each share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds available for distribution among the Holders and holders of Pari Passu Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution to the Convertible Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares.
 
B.  Certain Acts Not a Liquidation. The purchase or redemption by the Company of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation,

X.    ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE; CERTAIN PROTECTIONS
 
The Conversion Price shall, in order to accomplish the results contemplated in this Certificate of Designation, be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
 
A.  Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If at any time on or after the Closing Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately reduced. In such event, the Company shall notify the Company’s transfer agent of such change on or before the effective date thereof.
 
B.  Certain Public Announcements. In the event that (i) the Company makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other entity (other than a merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged and there is no distribution thereof) or to sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Company) publicly announces a tender offer in connection with which such person, group or entity seeks to purchase 50% or more of the Common Stock (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph is hereinafter referred to as the “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the consummation of the proposed tender offer or transaction or the Abandonment Date (as defined below), be equal to the lesser of (x) the Conversion Price calculated as provided in Article IV and the (y) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date. From and after the Abandonment Date, as the case may be, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in Article IV. The “Abandonment Date” means with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer for which a public announcement as contemplated by this paragraph has been made, the date which is seven (7) trading days after the date upon which the Company (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer which causes this paragraph to become operative.
 
C. Major Transactions. If the Company shall consolidate with or merge into any corporation or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than by way of subdivision or reduction of such shares) (each a “Major Transaction”), then each Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive consideration, in exchange for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock held by it, equal to the number of shares of stock or securities or property of the Company, or of the entity resulting from such Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Consideration”), to which a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such Major Transaction had the Holder’s Convertible Preferred Shares been converted (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein contained) on the trading date immediately preceding the public announcement of the transaction resulting in such Major Transaction and had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding and had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the time of such Major Transaction, and the Company shall make lawful provision therefore as a part of such consolidation, merger or reclassification. No sooner than ten (10) days nor later than five (5) days prior to
 
7

 
 
the consummation of the Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice (“Notice of Major Transaction”) to each Holder, which Notice of Major Transaction shall be deemed to have been delivered one (1) Business Day after the Company’s sending such notice by telecopy (provided that the Company sends a confirming copy of such notice on the same day by overnight courier). Such Notice of Major Transaction shall indicate the amount and type of the Major Transaction Consideration which such Holder would receive under clause (i) of this Section X(C). If the Major Transaction Consideration does not consist entirely of United States dollars, such Holder may elect to receive United States dollars in an amount equal to the value, determined by a reputable accounting firm selected by the Company that is reasonably acceptable to a majority of the Holders of the Major Transaction Consideration in lieu of the Major Transaction Consideration which does not consist entirely of United States Dollars, by delivering notice of such election to the Company within five (5) days of the Holder’s receipt of the Notice of Major Transaction.
 
D. Issuance of Other Convertible Securities. If, at any time after the First Closing the Company shall issue any securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) either (i) at a conversion or exchange rate based on a discount from the market price of the Common Stock at the time of conversion or exercise or (ii) with a fixed conversion or exercise price less than the Conversion Price, then, at the Holder’s option: (x) in the case of clause (i), the Conversion Price in respect of any conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock after such issuance shall be calculated utilizing the greatest discount applicable to any such Convertible Securities, to the extent such calculation would result in a lower Conversion Price; and (y) in the case of clause (ii), the Conversion Price will be reduced to such lesser conversion or exercise price, to the extent that this would result in a lower Conversion Price.
 
E.  Adjustment Due to Distribution. If at any time after the Closing Date, the Company shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e. a spin-off) (a “Distribution”), then the Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted to take account of such distribution.
 
F. Purchase Rights. If at any time after the Closing Date, the Company issues any Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise herein or elsewhere contained) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 
G.  Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article X, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
XI.   VOTING RIGHTS

The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including 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 herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation (including, without limitation, damages incurred to effect “cover” purchase of shares of Common Stock anticipated to be received upon a conversion hereunder and not received in accordance with the terms hereof). Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to prepare summaries of this Certificate of Designation for purposes of complying with its disclosure obligations and in connection with bona fide disputes as to the operations of the provisions of this Certificate of Designation. 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 breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
E.  Specific Shall Not Limit General; References to “Convertible Preferred Stock.” No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holders and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter. Any reference herein to Convertible Preferred Shares, Convertible Preferred Stock or an unspecified amount of Convertible Preferred Shares or Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed to include, without limitation, all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued or then issuable as a dividend or otherwise in satisfaction of any obligation of the Company with respect to any Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the date hereof.
 
F.  Failure or Indulgency 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, not shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
