Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into shares

determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share by the Set Price, at the
option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time from and after the

Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a "Notice of Conversion"),
to the attention of Chief Financial Officer. Each Notice of Conversion
shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue
and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be
prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the
Corporation by facsimile (the "Conversion Date").
If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the
Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the
Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set
forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or
mathematical error.
(ii)
Beneficial Ownership
Limitation. (A) The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the
Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion
of the Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder's affiliates), as set forth on
the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% of
the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such conversion. Beneficial ownership shall be calculated in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. This restriction may not be waived.
(b) (i)
The conversion price for each share of Preferred Stock shall equal $4.70588 (the
"Set Price"),
subject to adjustment below.
(ii) if
the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall
pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares
of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable
in shares of Common Stock, (B)
subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D)
issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of
capital stock of the Corporation, then the Set Price shall be multiplied by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which
the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after
such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.
6. Fractional Shares.
Series A Preferred Stock may only be issued in whole shares and not in
fractions of a share. If any interest in a fractional share of Series A
Preferred Stock would otherwise be deliverable to a person entitled to receive
Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall make adjustment for such
fractional share interest by rounding up to the next whole share of Series A
Preferred Stock.
7. Record Holders. The
Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series A Preferred Stock may
deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as
reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and
lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such
transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
IN
