              (b)   An Optional Conversion or Mandatory Conversion shall be subject to the following:

                  (i)  An Optional Conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be effected by any such holder upon the surrender to the Company at the principal office of the Company of the certificate for such Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted accompanied by a written notice stating that such holder elects to convert all or a specified number of such shares (which may be fractional shares) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 and specifying the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. A Mandatory Conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be immediately effective and shall be deemed to be made as of the date of the consummation of a Qualified IPO or Qualified Sale. Any holder may surrender to the Company the certificate for such Convertible Preferred Stock converted pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion accompanied by a written notice specifying the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. Until such time as the holder surrenders its certificate pursuant to the Mandatory Redemption, the certificates representing the Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such certificate Upon any conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, all accrued and unpaid dividends owing in respect of such shares shall be paid in cash.

                 (ii)  In case the written notice specifying the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued shall specify a name or names other than that of such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in such name or names. Other than such taxes, the Company will pay any and all issue and other taxes (other than taxes based on income) that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. As promptly as practicable, and in any event within three Business

10



        Days after the surrender of such certificate or certificates and the receipt of such notice relating thereto and, if applicable, payment of all transfer taxes (or the demonstration to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes have been paid), the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered (A) certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which the holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall be entitled and (B) if less than the full number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates is being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the number of shares evidenced by such surrendered certificate or certificates less the number of shares being converted.

                (iii)  In the case of an Optional Conversion, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of giving the written notice referred to in the first sentence of subsection (b) (i) above and of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted so that the rights of the holder thereof as to the shares being converted shall cease except for the right to receive shares of Common Stock in accordance herewith, and the person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such shares of Common Stock at such time.

              (c)   In case any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 6, all rights of conversion shall cease and terminate as to the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the date fixed for redemption unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price.

              (d)   The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in certain instances hereinafter provided.

              (e)   The Company shall at all times reserve, and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if necessary to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

              (f)    In addition to any adjustments to the Conversion Price which may be required pursuant to Section 7(h) hereof, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, effective as of the EBITDA Adjustment Date, to the Conversion Price set forth opposite the EBITDAs in the table below, based upon the Company's EBITDA for its fiscal year ended 2001 ("2001 EBITDA"). If the 2001 EBITDA shall be at an amount other than the EBITDAs shown on such table, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted, provided, that the Conversion Price shall not be less than the minimum Conversion Price and not more than the maximum Conversion Price, each as set forth in the table below:

EBITA ($MM)   Conversion Price
$                              18.0   $ 5.514
$                                9.0   $ 2.72
$                                6.0   $ 2.70

      If the Conversion Price as of the Original Issue Date (the "Original Conversion Price") shall have been adjusted pursuant to this Section 7 prior to the EBITDA Adjustment Date, then the Conversion Prices set forth in the table above shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the proportionate difference between the Original Conversion Price and the Conversion Price

11


      in effect immediately prior to the EBITDA Adjustment Date. The Conversion Price, as adjusted hereunder, shall be subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 7.

              (g)   If a Liquidity Event shall occur prior to the EBITDA Adjustment Date, the Conversion Price, effective immediately prior to the effective date of such Liquidity Event, shall be adjusted, as set forth below; provided, that the Conversion Price shall not be less than the minimum Conversion Price and not more than the maximum Conversion Price, each as set forth in the table provided in Section 7(f) above (as such minimum and maximum Conversion Prices may be adjusted thereunder).

        Conversion Price = [(Liquidation Preference) × (# of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of Liquidity Event) × (Liquidity Event Price)] / Qualified Amount

        For purposes of the calculation of Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 7(g) of Article IV.C, "Liquidity Event Price" shall mean, in the case of: (i) a Qualified IPO, the initial offering price per share to the public of Common Stock pursuant to such Qualified IPO; (ii) a Qualified Sale, the aggregate consideration paid pursuant to such Qualified Sale for each share of Common Stock then outstanding; and (iii) an Organic Change, Appraised Value, based on the determination of an investment banking firm selected by the Company and the Required Holders.

              (h)   The Conversion Price will also be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

                  (i)  In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the First Issue Date (A) pay a dividend, or make a distribution, on the outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (D) issues by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier, shall be adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. An adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or (y) in the case of such subdivision, reclassification or combination, at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

                 (ii)  In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) after the First Issue Date, other than issuances covered by clause (i) above, at a price per share (or having an exercise, conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock, as of the date of issuance of such shares or of such rights, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance shall

12



        be reduced (but not increased) to an amount determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:

                  A)   the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the Net Aggregate Consideration (as defined in Section 7(h)(xi)) would purchase at the Current Market Price prior to such issuance, and

                  (B)  the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), plus (2) the aggregate number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued (or issuable pursuant to the exercise of rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock so issued).

                (iii)  In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) after the First Issue Date, other than issuances covered by clause (i) above, at a price per share (or having an exercise, conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Conversion Price as of the date of issuance of such shares or of such rights, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities, then, and in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such issuance shall be reduced (bur not increased) to an amount determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction:

                  (A)  the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the Net Aggregate Consideration would purchase at the Conversion Price prior to such issuance, and

                  (B)  the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock (or rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock), plus (2) the aggregate number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued (or issuable pursuant to the exercise of rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock so issued).

                (iv)  An adjustment made pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) above shall be made on the next Business Day following the date on which any such issuance is made and shall be effective retroactively immediately after the close of business on such date. For purposes of clauses (ii) or (iii), the aggregate consideration received by the Company in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock or of rights, warrants or other securities exchangeable or convertible into shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of the aggregate offering price of all such Common Stock and such rights, warrants, or other exchangeable or convertible securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, receivable upon exchange or conversion of any such exchangeable or convertible securities into shares of Common Stock. If both clauses (ii) and (iii) are applicable, the adjustment which results in the higher Conversion Price shall be used.

13


                 (v)  In case the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the First Issue Date declare, order, pay or make a dividend or other distribution (including*, without limitation, any distribution, of stock or other securities or property or rights or warrants to subscribe for securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by way of dividend or spinoff), on its Common Stock, other than dividends or distributions of shares of Common Stock which are referred to in clause (i) of this subsection (h) or made in compliance with Section 3(c) hereof, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier, shall be adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock been surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. An adjustment made pursuant to this clause (v) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier.

                (vi)  For purposes of this subsection (h), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall include all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding options, rights, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities, but shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

               (vii)  If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the right of conversion granted by this subsection (h) or in the Conversion Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

              (viii)  Anything in this subsection (h) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to give effect to any adjustment in the Conversion Price unless and until the net effect of one or more adjustments (each of which shall be carried forward), determined as above provided, shall have resulted in a change of the Conversion Price by at least $0.10, and when the cumulative net effect of more than one adjustment so determined shall be to change the Conversion Price by at least $0.10, such change in Conversion Price shall thereupon be given effect.

                (ix)  For the purposes of this subsection (h), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time shall include all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all options and warrants then outstanding and the conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding other than the Convertible Preferred Stock.

                 (x)  No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (h) upon the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock that shall be issued pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any options, rights, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities if an adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such options, rights, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities. If any option, right, warrant or other convertible or exchangeable security expires or is cancelled without having been exercised, then, for the purposes of the adjustments set forth above, such option, right, warrant or other convertible or

14



        exchangeable security shall have been deemed not to have been issued and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted accordingly. No holder of shares of Common Stock that were previously issued upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have any obligation to redeem or cancel any such shares of Common Stock as a result of the operation of this clause (x).

                (xi)  For purposes of this subsection (h), "Net Aggregate Consideration" shall mean the total amount of consideration received by the Company for the issuance of (i) Common Stock or (ii) rights, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, plus, if applicable, the minimum aggregate amount set forth in the terms of such rights, warrants or such other securities as payable to the Company upon the exchange, exercise or conversion thereof.

              (i)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 7, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in the case of (i) the granting, after the First Issue Date, by the Company of stock options under a stock option plan of the Company approved by the Board so long as the shares of Common Stock underlying such options (net of any expired or terminated options under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan or 1999 Stock Option Plan prior to the First Issue Date) do not, in the aggregate, exceed 10% of the Fully Diluted Outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the First Issue Date (including the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock); Provided, that such Fully Diluted Outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted to reflect (a) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are issued and sold by the Company after the First Issue Date, (b) any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the options referred to in this clause (i), (c) any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(f) of this Article 1V.0 in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and (d) any stock splits, reverse stock splits, combinations, stock dividends or similar transactions; and (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the options referred to in clause (i) above or pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any options, rights, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities that are outstanding as of the First Issue Date.

              (j)    In case of any Organic Change, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, other than those shares to be redeemed pursuant to Section 6 hereof, shall thereafter be convertible into, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion prior to consummation of such Organic Charge, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable (including cash) upon the consummation of such Organic Change by a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible immediately prior to such Organic Change (including, on a pro rata basis, the cash, securities or property received by holders of Common Stock in any tender or exchange offer that is a step in such Organic Change). In case securities or property other than Common Stock shall be issuable or deliverable upon conversion as aforesaid, then all references in this Section 7 shall be deemed to apply, so far as appropriate and nearly as may be, to such other securities or property.

              (k)   In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall pay any stock dividend or make any other non-cash distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, or shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or any other right, or there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,

15



      liquidation or minding up of the Company, then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice to the registered holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock at the addresses of each as shown on the books of the Company as of the date on which (i) the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such stock dividend, distribution or subscription rights or (ii) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place, as the case may be. Such notice shall also specify the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record shall participate in said dividend, distribution or subscription rights or shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance or participate in such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Failure to give such notice shall not invalidate any action so taken.

            8.    Reports as to Adjustments.    Upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the operation of the conversion set forth in Section 7, then, and in each such case, the Company shall promptly deliver to each holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock, a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment and the 'increased or decreased number of shares issuable upon the conversion granted by Section 7, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Where appropriate, such notice to holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be given in advance.

            10.    No Reissuance of Preferred Stock.    No Convertible Preferred Stock acquired by the Company by reason of redemption, purchase, or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Company shall be authorized to issue.

            11.    Notices.    All notices to the Company permitted hereunder shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to its principal office located at 9665 Chesapeake Drive, Suite 300, San Diego, California 92123, or to such other address at which its principal office is located, and all notices to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be given at their addresses appearing on the books of the Company.
