Risk.

For

promises to pay to International Microcomputer Software, Inc. (the "Holder"),
unless this Note is earlier converted pursuant to Section 2, the maximum
principal sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), together with any and
all
interest accrued but unpaid thereon. Advances shall be noted in the attached
Record of Advances by the Company; provided,
however,
that
the Company’s failure to make such notations shall not affect the obligations of
the Company hereunder. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Joint
Operating Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the
Holder (the "Joint
Operating Agreement")
and
any defined terms not herein defined shall have the meaning set forth in
the
Joint Operating Agreement. In addition to the terms and conditions of the
Joint
Operating Agreement, this Note is subject to the following terms and
conditions.
1.
Maturity.
1.1
Maturity
Date.
Unless
earlier converted as provided in Section 2, this Note, all principal amounts
of
Advances and interest thereon will automatically mature and be due and payable
ten (10) days following the termination of the Merger Agreement (the
"Maturity
Date").
1.2
Interest.
(a) Advances
shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance outstanding at any time
from
the Funding Date of each such Advance to maturity (or repayment) at the rate
of
8% (the "Line
Interest Rate")
or
such lesser rate permitted by applicable law, if the Line Interest Rate would
violate applicable law. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day
year, but charged for the actual number of days elapsed. "Funding
Date"
means,
with respect to any Advance, the date on which such Advance is made to the
Company.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if during any period for which interest is computed hereunder,
the amount of interest provided for in this Note, together with all fees,
charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable
law,
would exceed the amount of such interest computed on the basis of the Highest
Lawful Rate, the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and the Holder shall
not
be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve or take, interest in excess
of
the Highest Lawful Rate, and during any such period the interest payable
hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate. As used
herein, "Highest
Lawful Rate"

which
may be charged, contracted for, reserved, received or collected by the Holder
in
connection with this Note under applicable law.

Company shall not have the right to prepay the unpaid principal amount or

sum
permitted by the Holder shall be accompanied by any and all interest accrued
on
the principal amount being prepaid.
2. Conversion.

At the
Effective Time, this Note shall be surrendered to the Company without payment

receive that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company
(the
“Series
A Preferred Stock”),
the
terms of which are set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Company,
determined by dividing the principal amount of any Advances and interest
thereon
by the Original Series A Issue Price (as defined in the Certificate of
Designation of the Company).
2.3 Mechanics
and Effect of Conversion.
(a) No
fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of
any
fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company

the
event that this Note is converted into Series A Preferred Stock pursuant
to
Section 2.2, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, to the
Company
and, at its expense, the Company will issue and deliver to such Holder, a

of its obligations and liabilities under this Note except its obligations
pursuant to Section 2.3(b).
3. Payment.
Except
as set forth herein, all payments shall be made in lawful money of the United
States of America at the principal offices of the Company. Payment shall

Company also agrees to pay to the Holder, on demand, all reasonable costs
and
expenses (including attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Holder
in the enforcement of the Company's obligations under this Note.
4. Transfer;
Successors and Assigns.
This
Note may be transferred only upon surrender of the original Note for
registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed
written instrument of transfer. Thereupon, a new note for the same principal
amount and interest will be issued to, and registered in the name, of, the
transferee. Interest and principal are payable only to the registered holder
of
this Note. The terms and conditions of this Note shall inure to the benefit
of
and binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

Law.
This
Note and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted

of
any other jurisdiction to apply.

notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder
shall
be in writing and given as provided in the Joint Operating Agreement.

of
ACCESSMEDIA
NETWORKS, INC.
(Pursuant
to Section 242 of the
Delaware
General Corporation Law)
August
__, 2005
The
undersigned, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, hereby certifies that:
A. He
is the
duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, respectively,
of
AccessMedia Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”).
B. The
authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock is 5,000,000, none of which
have
been designated or issued.
C. Pursuant
to the authority given by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board
of Directors”)
has
duly adopted the following recitals and resolutions:
WHEREAS,
the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation authorizes a class of
Preferred Stock comprising of 5,000,000 shares issuable from time to time
in one
or more series; and
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors is authorized to fix or alter the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued
series of Preferred Stock including but not limited to conversion rights,
voting
rights and the liquidation preference, and the number of shares constituting
and
such series and the designation thereof, or any of them; and
WHEREAS,
the Corporation heretofore has not issued or designated any series of Preferred
Stock, and it is the desire of the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, privileges,
preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred
Stock and the number of shares constituting such series;
NOW
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide
for
the issue of a series of Preferred Stock constituting 5,000,0001
shares
designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” and does hereby fix the rights,
privileges, preferences, and restrictions and other matters relating to the
Series A Preferred Stock as follows:
Series A
Preferred Stock:
Section
1. Designation
and Amount.
The
shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Preferred Stock"
(the "Series
A Preferred Stock")
and
the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be five
million (5,000,000). Such number of shares may be increased or decreased
by
resolution of the Board of Directors; provided,
that no
decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to
a
number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of
shares
reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase
Series A Preferred Stock.
Section
2. Dividend
Provisions.
Subject
to the rights of Series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come
into
existence, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior
and in
preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than
in
Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling
the
holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation) on the Common Stock of the Corporation, at the
rate of
$0.08 per share per annum at the beginning of each calendar quarter beginning
after the first issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, provided,
however,
in the
event a cash dividend is declared on the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Corporation may, at its option, declare and pay the corresponding dividend
on
shares of Series A Preferred Stock by issuance of additional shares of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The number of
shares
of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued in lieu of cash shall be determined
by
dividing the amount of the cash dividend per share by the Original Series
A
Issue Price. No fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued
as
a dividend. Instead, the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock
issued to each record holder shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
The
payment of dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Stock in shares of
Series
A Preferred Stock as set forth above shall constitute full payment of such
dividend. Dividends shall accrue on each share (including any shares issued
as
dividends) from the date of issuance, and shall accrue from day to day, whether
or not earned or declared. Such dividends shall be cumulative so that, except
as
provided below, if such dividends in respect of any previous or current annual
dividend period, at the annual rate specified above, shall not have been
paid
the deficiency shall first be fully paid before any dividend or other
distribution shall be paid on or declared and set apart for the Common Stock.
Cumulative dividends with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock
which
are accrued, payable and/or in arrears shall, upon conversion of such share
to
Common Stock, subject to the rights of Series of Preferred Stock which may
from
time to time come into existence, be paid to the extent assets are legally
available therefor and any amounts for which assets are not legally available
shall be paid promptly as assets become legally available therefor; any partial
payment will be made pro rata among the holders of such shares.
1
The
actual number of shares to be issued would equal a number of Series A Preferred
shares that will represent a percentage of the total outstanding capital
stock
of AccessMedia Networks, Inc. after giving effect to such issuance determined
by
dividing (i) the total dollar amount advanced pursuant to the Note, plus
all
accrued interest thereon (the “Advance”) by (ii) the amount of the Advance plus
$25,000,000.
2
Unless
full dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods
and
the then current dividend period shall have been paid or declared and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof set apart: (A) no dividend whatsoever
(other
than a dividend payable solely in Common Stock or other securities and rights
convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock) shall be paid or declared,
and no
distribution shall be made, on any Common Stock, and (B) no shares of Common
Stock shall be purchased, redeemed, or acquired by the corporation and no
funds
shall be paid into or set aside or made available for a sinking fund for
the
purchase, redemption, or acquisition thereof; provided, however, that this
restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock held
by
employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services
for the corporation or any wholly-owned subsidiary (including, but not by
way of
limitation, distributors and sales representatives) that are subject to
restrictive stock purchase agreements under which the corporation has the
option
to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events,
such as
the termination of employment.
Section
3. Liquidation
Preference.
(a)
In
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of series of Preferred
Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of Series
A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
any
distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of Common
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to
the sum
of (i) $1.00 for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (the
“Original
Series A Issue Price”)
and
(ii) all declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends on such shares. If
upon
the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among
the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the
payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then,
subject to the rights of Series of Preferred Stock that may from time to
time
come into existence, the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally
available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders
of the
Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned
by each
such holder.
(b) Upon
the
completion of the distribution required by subparagraph (a) of this Section
2
and any other distribution that may be required with respect to series of
Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, if assets
remain
in the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation, shall
receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
3
(c)
(i) For
purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (A) the
acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction
or
series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any
reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any merger effected
exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation);
or (B)
a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation; unless
the
Corporation’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such
acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by
virtue
of securities issued as consideration for the Corporation’s acquisition or sale
or otherwise) hold at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving or
acquiring entity.
(ii)
In
any of such events, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other
than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities
shall
be valued as follows:
(A)
Securities not subject took investment letter or other similar restrictions
on
free marketability:
(1)
If
traded on a securities exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market, the value shall
be
deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such
exchange over the thirty-day period ending three (3) days prior to the
closing;
(2)
If
actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average
of
the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty-day
period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(3)
If
there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value
thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of at
least a
majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock.
(B)
The
method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other
restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely
by
virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be
to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above
in (A)
(1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as
mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of at least a majority
of
the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred
Stock.
4
(iii)
In
the event the requirements of this subsection 2(c) are not complied with,
the
Corporation shall forthwith either:
(A)
cause
such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this
Section
2 have been complied with; or
(B)
cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges
of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the
same
as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to
the
date of the first notice referred to in subsection 2(c)(iv) hereof.
(iv)
The
Corporation shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock
written
notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior
to
the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20)
days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and
shall
also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction.
The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions
of
the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and the
Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material
changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty
(20)
days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein
or
sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material
changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be
shortened upon the written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock that
are
entitled to such notice rights or similar notice rights and that represent
at
least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such
Preferred Stock.
Section
4. Redemption.
a.
Mandatory
Redemption.
Subject
to the rights of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into
existence, the Corporation shall redeem, from any source of funds legally
available therefor, the Series A Preferred Stock on the five year anniversary
of
the date of the first issuance of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series
A Redemption Date”).
The
Corporation shall effect such redemption on the Series A Redemption Date
by
paying in cash in exchange for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to
be
redeemed a sum equal to $1.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (as adjusted
for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares)
plus all declared or accumulated but unpaid dividends on such shares (the
“Series
A Redemption Price”).
b.
Redemption
at the Option of the Corporation.
(i) Subject
to the rights of Series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come
into
existence, the Corporation may at any time it may lawfully do so but not
before
sixty (60) days after the date of the first issuance of the Series A Preferred
Stock, at the option of the Board of Directors, redeem in whole or in part
the
Series A Preferred Stock by paying in cash therefor a sum equal to the Series
A
Redemption Price. Any redemption effected pursuant to this subSection (4)(b)
shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
held by them.
5
(ii) As
used
herein and in subSection (4)(b)(iii) and (iv) below, the term “Redemption Date”
shall refer to each “Series A Redemption Date” and the term “Redemption Price”
shall refer to each of “Series A Redemption Price.” Subject to the rights of
Series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence,
at
least sixty (60) but no more than ninety (90) days prior to each Redemption
Date, written notice shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding
the day on which notice is given) of the Series A Preferred Stock to be
redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for
such
holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying
the
number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the Redemption Date, the
Redemption Price, the place at which payment may be obtained and calling
upon
such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place
designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the
shares
to be redeemed (the “Redemption
Notice”).
Except as provided in subSection (4)(b)(iii) on or after the Redemption Date,
each holder of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to
the
Corporation the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in
the
manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon
the
Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person
whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof
and
each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the event less than all
the
shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate
shall
be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(iii) From
and
after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment
of
the Redemption Price, all rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock designated for redemption in the Redemption Notice as holders of Series
A
Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without
interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease
with
respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred
on
the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose
whatsoever. Subject to the rights of Series of Preferred Stock which may
from
time to time come into existence, if the funds of the Corporation legally
available for redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on any Redemption
Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available
will
be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares ratably among
the
holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of Series
A
Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock not redeemed shall
remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided
herein. Subject to the rights of Series of Preferred Stock which may from
time
to time come into existence, at any time thereafter when additional funds
of the
Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Series
A
Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance
of
the shares which the Corporation has become obliged to redeem on any Redemption
Date but which it has not redeemed.
6
(iv) On
or
prior to each Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the Redemption
Price of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption
in the
Redemption Notice, and not yet redeemed or converted, with a bank or trust
corporation having aggregate capital and surplus in excess of $100,000,000
as a
trust fund for the benefit of the respective holders of the shares designated
for redemption and not yet redeemed, with irrevocable instructions and authority
to the bank or trust corporation to publish the notice of redemption thereof
and
pay the Redemption Price for such shares to their respective holders on or
after
the Redemption Date, upon receipt of notification from the corporation that
such
holder has surrendered his, her or its share certificate to the corporation
pursuant to subSection (4)(b)(ii) above. The balance of any moneys deposited
by
the Corporation pursuant to this subSection (4)(b)(iv) remaining unclaimed
at
the expiration of two (2) years following the Redemption Date shall thereafter
be returned to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution
of its
Board of Directors.
Section
5. Conversion.
The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows
(the “Conversion
Rights”):
(a)
Right
to Convert.
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of
the
holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the
office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such
number
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by
dividing the Original Series A Issue Price by the Conversion Price applicable
to
such shares, determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the
certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per
share for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be the Original Series
A
Issue Price; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Series
A
Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection
5(d).
(b)
Automatic
Conversion.
Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares
of Common Stock at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Series
A
Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of (i) except as provided below
in
subsection 5(c), the Corporation’s sale of its Common Stock in a Qualified
Public Offering (as defined below) or (ii) the date specified by written
consent
or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares
of
Series A Preferred Stock. As used herein, “Qualified
Public Offering”
means a
firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering any of the
Corporation’s securities (as that term is defined under the Securities Act of
1933, as then in effect) with a price per share of not less than three (3)
times
the Original Series A Issue Price and aggregate gross proceeds to the
Corporation of at least $30,000,000.
(c)
Mechanics
of Conversion.
Before
any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same
into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to
the
Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert
the
same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation
shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such
holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such
holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
Stock
to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall
be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the
date
of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted,
and
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder
or
holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion
is in
connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant
to
the Securities Act of 1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder
tendering Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the
closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such
offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock
upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted
such Series A Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such
sale of securities.
7
(d)
Conversion
Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits
and
Combinations.
The
Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as follows:
(i)
(A) If
the
Corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were first issued (the “Purchase
Date”
with
respect to such series), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without
consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price
for such series in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Stock, the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to
each
such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause
(i))
be adjusted to equal the price per share of such Additional Stock.
(B)
No
adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be
made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments
which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried
forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment
made
prior to three years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment
being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three years from the
date
of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except
to the
limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment
of
such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 5(d)(i) shall have the
effect
of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment.
(C)
In
the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall
be
deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable
discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the
Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance
and sale thereof.
8
(D)
In
the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole
or in
part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to
be
the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors irrespective
of
any accounting treatment.
(E)
In
the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the applicable Purchase
Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities
by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options
to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this subsection
5(d)(i)
and subsection 5(d)(ii):
(1)
The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights
to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time
such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in subsections 5(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)),
if
any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(2)
The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility
or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but
without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities
and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been
issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights
were
issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received
by
the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding
any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus
the
minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation
(without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the
conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related
options
or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner
provided in subsections 5(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)).
(3)
In
the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
or
in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options
or
rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred
Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options,
rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no
further
adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment
of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or
the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
9
(4)
Upon
the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such
rights
to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related
to
such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the
Series
A Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using
such
options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities,
shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares
of
Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in
effect)
actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion
or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights
related to such securities.
(5)
The
number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed
paid
therefor pursuant to subsections 5(d)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described
in either subsection 5(d)(i)(E)(3) or (4).
(ii)
“Additional
Stock”
shall
mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant
to subsection 5(d)(i)(E)) by the Corporation after the Purchase Date other
than:
(A)
Common Stock issued upon conversion of any of the shares of Preferred
Stock;
(B)
Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 5(d)(iii)
hereof;
(C)
shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants, advisors,
officers, directors or vendors (if in transactions with primarily non-financing
purposes) of the Corporation directly or pursuant to a stock option plan,
restricted stock plan or other stock incentive program or arrangement;
(D)
shares of Common Stock issuable or issued as a dividend or distribution on
the
Preferred Stock;
(E)
shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to financial institutions or lessors
in connection with real estate leases, commercial credit arrangements, debt
financings, equipment lease financings or similar transactions; or
(F)
shares of Common Stock issuable or issued in connection with the issuance
of
securities of the Corporation pursuant to a merger, acquisition or strategic
business, joint venture, partnering or other similar transaction.
(iii)
In
the event the Corporation should at any time or from time to time after the
Purchase Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders
of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable
in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common
Stock Equivalents”)
without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares
of
Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such
record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision
if
no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred
Stock
shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in
proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock
Equivalents.
10
(iv)
If
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Purchase
Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price
for
the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the
number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series
shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
shares.
(e)
Recapitalizations.
If at
any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets
transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 5 or Section 3) provision
shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such
case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions
of
this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions
of
this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect
and
the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
(g)
No
Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i)
No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares
of
the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which any
holder of Preferred Shares would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall
pay the holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the
Common Stock’s fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of
Director as of the date of conversion. Whether or not fractional shares are
issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time
converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such aggregate conversion.
11
(ii)
Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price
of
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation, at
its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A
Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment
and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based.
The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder
of
Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder
a like
certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the
Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect,
and
(C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share
of
Series A Preferred Stock.
(i)
Notices
of Record Date.
In the
event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any
class
of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other
distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive
any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred
Stock, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying
the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution or right.
(j)
Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
The
Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting
the
conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of
its
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect
the
conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and
if at
any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall
not
be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of
the
Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be
available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take
such
corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares
as
shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging
in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary
amendment to this certificate of incorporation.
(k)
Notices.
Any
notice required by the provisions of this Section 5 to be given to the holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited
in the
United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record
at
his address appearing on the books of the Corporation.
Section
6. Voting
Rights.
The
holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to
one
vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock
could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall
have
full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the
holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision
hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of
the Corporation, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of
Common
Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have
the
right to vote.
12
Section
7. Protective
Provisions.

written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority
of
the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock:
(a) sell,
convey, or otherwise dispose of or encumber all or substantially all of its

rights similar to any of the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock under
this
Section 6; or
(e) redeem,
purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund
for
such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock; provided,
however, that this restriction shall not apply to (i) the repurchase of shares
of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other
persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to
agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares
at
cost or at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination
of employment provided further, however, that the total amount applied to

Stock otherwise than by redemption in accordance with Section 4; or

any
dividends with respect to the Corporation’s Common Stock; or
