(b) A notice of redemption shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anticipated date of redemption (i) notifying such Holders of the election of the Corporation to redeem such shares and of the date of redemption, (ii) stating the place or places at which the shares called for redemption shall, upon presentation and surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares, be redeemed, and the Redemption Price therefor, and (iii) stating the name and address of the Redemption Agent, and the name and address of the Corporation’s transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

(c) The Corporation shall appoint the Redemption Agent as its agent for redemption of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Following such appointment and prior to any redemption, the Corporation shall deliver to the Redemption Agent irrevocable written instructions authorizing the Redemption Agent, on behalf and at the expense of the Corporation, to cause such notice of redemption to be duly mailed as herein provided as soon as practicable after receipt of such irrevocable instructions and in accordance with the above provisions. All funds and shares of Common Stock necessary for the redemption shall be deposited with the Redemption Agent in trust at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of redemption, for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the shares so called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor.

(d) If a notice of redemption shall have been given as provided herein, and the Corporation shall not default in the payment of the Redemption Price, then (i) each Holder of shares called for redemption shall be entitled to all preferences and relative and other rights accorded by this resolution until and including the time of redemption and (ii) from and after the time of redemption the shares called for redemption shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the Holders of such shares shall cease and terminate, except the right of the Holders of such shares, upon surrender of certificates therefor, to receive amounts to be paid hereunder.

(e) The deposit of monies and shares of Common Stock in trust with the Redemption Agent shall be irrevocable except that the Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Redemption Agent the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any monies so deposited in trust, and the Holders of any shares redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings, and any balance of monies so deposited by the Corporation and unclaimed by the Holders entitled thereto at the expiration of two years from the Redemption Date shall be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, to the Corporation, and after any such repayment, the Holders of the shares entitled to the funds so repaid to the Corporation shall look only to the Corporation for such payment, without interest.

5. Conversion Rights. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:

(a) Conversion at the Option of Holder. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 5, any Holder shall have the right at such Holder’s option, at any time or from time to time, to convert such Holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with subparagraph (c) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion on any date exceeds the Maximum Authorized Amount on such date, each holder thereof may only convert the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock so that the total number of shares of Common Stock so issuable is no greater than such holder’s Pro Rata Portion.

(b) Mandatory Conversion. On the first date on which there are a number of unissued shares of Common Stock authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation sufficient to permit conversion of all of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), each outstanding share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted (simultaneously with the conversion of each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock), without any further act of the Corporation or its stockholders (and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent), into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Price then in effect. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Corporation shall deliver a written notice thereof to each Holder. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue to any such Holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock duly endorsed or an affidavit of lost certificates, in each case, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation are delivered either to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a Holder shall be entitled to upon conversion pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be determined by dividing (x) (1) if on or prior to October 22, 2009, $1,065 multiplied by the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted as of the Conversion Date or (2) if after October 23, 2009, the Liquidation Preference of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to be converted as of the Conversion Date by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect at the close of business on the Conversion Date (determined as provided in this paragraph 5).

Any Holder may exercise its conversion right specified in subparagraph 5(a) by surrendering to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation the certificate or certificates or an affidavit of lost certificates, in each case, duly endorsed in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for the shares to be converted, accompanied by written notice substantially in the form set forth in Annex A.

Conversion pursuant to exercise of the conversion right specified in subparagraph 5(a) shall be deemed to have been effected prior to the opening of the Trading Market (or if the Common Stock is not then listed on a national securities exchange then at 8:00 A.M. New York time) on the date when delivery of certificates for shares is made and such date is referred to herein as the “Optional Conversion Date”.

As promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation in the case of conversions pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled.

The Person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (in the case of conversion pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.

(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall round such fractional share up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

(e) Conversion Price Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

	(i)		Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Combinations. If the Corporation shall (A) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (C) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Series A-1 Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such date and assuming the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible in its entirety without regard to the ability of the Corporation to issue Common Stock upon such conversion and without regard to the Maximum Authorized Amount. Successive adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall occur.

	(ii)		Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Lease, Conveyance or Reclassification. In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or reclassification be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or reclassification and assuming the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible in its entirety without regard to the ability of the Corporation to issue Common Stock upon such conversion and without regard to the Maximum Authorized Amount) upon conversion of such share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. If the Corporation shall propose to take any action of the type described in this clause (ii), the Corporation shall give notice to each Holder, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known on the date of such notice) on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In the case of any action that would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to taking such proposed action.

(iii)

Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent to each Holder. Each such statement shall be signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation.

(f) Notice to Holders. All notices permitted or required to be sent by the Corporation to the Holders pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be sent by overnight courier or first class certified mail, postage prepaid, or by means of electronic transmission (if on the same day the Corporation sends a conforming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid)) to the Holders at the addresses appearing on the Corporation’s records.

(g) Treasury Stock. The sale or other disposition of any Common Stock theretofore held in the Corporation’s treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.

(h) Costs. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer and involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in respect of which such shares are being issued, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been or will be paid.

(i) Shares to be Fully Paid. The Corporation will take all action necessary to assure that all shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or similar rights of stockholders, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then effective Conversion Price.

(j) Reservation of Shares. Prior to the Stockholder Approval and the filing with, and acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Charter Amendment, the Corporation shall reserve for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock such number of shares of Common Stock up to the Maximum Authorized Amount for all Holders and all holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. Thereafter, and as long as any Series A-1 Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Corporation will take all action necessary to assure that it has authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in full.

(k) Approvals. The Corporation, subject to obtaining the Stockholder Approval and filing the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, will take all action necessary to assure that shares of Common Stock may be validly and legally issued upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and in compliance with the requirements of all Laws and any securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Corporation will not take any action that could result in any adjustment hereunder if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon conversion or redemption of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in full, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options or warrants and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation.

6. Voting Rights.

(a) In addition to the special voting rights provided below and by applicable Law, the Holders shall be entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of the Common Stock have the right to vote, and shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of full shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 5 hereof at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters and assuming the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible in its entirety without regard to the ability of the Corporation to issue Common Stock upon such conversion and without regard to the Maximum Authorized Amount, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of capital stock having general voting powers and not separately as a class. In all cases where the Holders have the right to vote separately as a class, such Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each such share held by them respectively.

(b) So long as the Permitted Holders in the aggregate own at least 50% of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date, the Corporation shall not and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to without the consent of the Holders of a majority of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, given in writing or by vote at a meeting of Holders called for such purpose, directly or indirectly:

(a) For so long as the Permitted Holders own in the aggregate at least 50% of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date, before any issuance by the Corporation of any Voting Stock (other than Excluded Stock) at a price less than $4.00 per share (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations or similar type events), the Corporation shall give written notice (a “Preemptive Notice”) thereof to each Holder. The Preemptive Notice shall:

	(i)		specify the material terms of the security or securities to be issued (the “Preemptive Shares”), the proposed purchasers, the date of issuance (which date shall not be less than ten (10) nor more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Preemptive Notice), the consideration that the Corporation will receive therefor and any other material term or condition of such issuance; and

(b) Each such Holder shall be entitled, by written notice to the Corporation not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, to elect to purchase all or part of the Preemptive Shares offered to such Holder in the Preemptive Notice on the terms and conditions set forth therein. In the event that any such offer is accepted by any Holder, the Corporation shall sell to such Holder, and such Holder shall purchase from the Corporation for the consideration and on the terms set forth in the Preemptive Notice the securities that such Holder has elected to purchase on the same day it issues (or would have issued) the Preemptive Shares.

(c) If the Corporation does not proceed with the proposed issuance of capital stock specified in the Preemptive Notice on the terms and conditions set forth therein, then the provisions of this paragraph 7 shall again be in effect with respect to any subsequent issuance.

8. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

9. Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth in this resolution (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of Law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution (as so amended) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

10. Status of Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the Laws of the State of Delaware) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock issuable in series undesignated as to series and, subject to the provisions hereof, may be redesignated and reissued.

11. Amendment. No provision of this Certificate of Designations may be amended, except in a written instrument signed by the Corporation and Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding. Any of the rights of the Holders set forth herein may be waived by the affirmative vote of Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

12. Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock.

(a) The Corporation shall not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock unless it concurrently offers to redeem the same proportion (based on Liquidation Preference) of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions and at the same time (the “Modified Redemption Price”); provided that in no case will a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock be deemed to be a redemption, purchase or other acquisition covered by this paragraph 12.

(b) Notice of any such offer to redeem shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 45 days prior to the anticipated date of redemption (i) notifying such Holders of the Corporation’s offer to redeem such shares and of the date of redemption, and (ii) stating the place or places at which the shares presented for redemption shall, upon presentation and surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares, be redeemed, and the Modified Redemption Price therefor. To exercise its right to have its shares redeemed, a Holder must send written notice to the Corporation not less than 2 Business Days prior to the date of redemption set forth in the Corporation’s notice, indicating its election to participate in the redemption.

(c) If a notice of redemption shall have been given as provided herein, and the Corporation shall not default in the payment of the Modified Redemption Price, then (i) each Holder of shares presented for redemption shall be entitled to all preferences and relative and other rights accorded by this resolution until and including the time of redemption and (ii) from and after the time of redemption the shares presented for redemption shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the Holders of such shares shall cease and terminate, except the right of the Holders of such shares, upon surrender of certificates therefor, to receive amounts to be paid hereunder.

(d) Any such offer to redeem shall be made ratably to all holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

13. Modification of Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not amend or otherwise change the Liquidation Preference, Dividend Rate or Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock (in each case, as defined in the Certificate of Designations applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock) unless (x) it shall have offered to the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock the right to have a corresponding change made to this Certificate of Designations effective at the same time that such amendment or other change is effective as to the Series B Preferred Stock and (y) if the Holders of a majority of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding elect to have such change effected, shall have effected such amendment or other change, simultaneously with such amendment or other change to the Certificate of Designations applicable to the Series B Preferred Stock.
