occurrence of any other Event of Default, in addition to any other rights,
powers and remedies permitted by law or in equity, the INVESTORS may, at their
option, by notice in writing to AIRNET, declare the Notes to be, and the Notes

reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements.
No course of dealing and no delay on the part of the holders of the Notes
in exercising any of their rights shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise
prejudice the rights of such holders, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. No right, power or
remedy conferred hereby or by the Notes on the holders thereof shall be
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or
now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

11. INDEMNIFICATION
AIRNET and INVESTORS agree as follows:
11.1 General Indemnification by AIRNET. AIRNET covenants and agrees that,
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any remedies provided to INVESTORS in
Section 10, AIRNET will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless INVESTORS
at all times, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Expiration
Date, from and against all claims, damages, actions, suits, proceedings,
demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically,
but without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable expenses of
investigation) (collectively, "Losses") incurred by INVESTORS as a result of or
arising from:
(a) Any breach of the representations and warranties of AIRNET set
forth herein or on the schedules or certificates delivered in connection
herewith;
(b) Any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of AIRNET
under this Agreement;
48
11.2 Indemnification by INVESTORS. Each of the INVESTORS,
severally and not jointly, covenants and agrees that it will indemnify, defend,
protect and hold harmless AIRNET at all times from and after the date of this
Agreement until the Expiration Date, from and against all claims, damages,
actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and
expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses of investigation) incurred by AIRNET as a result of or arising
from (a) any breach by that INVESTOR of its representations and warranties set
forth herein or on the schedules or certificates delivered in connection
herewith, or (b) any breach of any agreement on the part of that INVESTOR under
this Agreement.
11.3 Third Person Claims. Promptly after any party hereto (hereinafter the
"Indemnified Party") has received notice of or has knowledge of any claim by a
Third Person or of the commencement of any action or proceeding by a Person not
a party to this Agreement (a "Third Person"), the Indemnified Party shall, as a
condition precedent to a claim with respect thereto being made against any party
obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2 hereof
(hereinafter the "Indemnifying Party"), give the Indemnifying Party written
notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding. Such
notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable
estimate of the amount thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter so
long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently,
provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any criminal proceeding
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend
or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do
so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate, at the Indemnifying Party's
expense, with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense thereof and
in any settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be
limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records or
information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the
Indemnified Party's possession or control. All Indemnified Parties shall
endeavor to use the same counsel, which shall be the counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party, provided that if counsel to the Indemnifying Party shall
have a conflict of interest in the opinion of such counsel that prevents counsel
for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such matter through
counsel of its own choosing and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the
Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of its counsel and experts. After
the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to
undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as
the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the
Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted
liability, except (i) as set forth in the preceding sentence and (ii) to the
extent such participation is requested by the Indemnifying Party, in which event
the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for
reasonable additional legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses. If the
Indemnifying Party desires to accept a final and complete settlement of any such
Third Person claim and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such
settlement, then the Indemnifying Party's liability under this Section with
respect to such Third Person claim shall be limited to the amount so offered in
settlement to said Third Person, plus all indemnifiable costs and expenses
incurred to date, the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its duty to defend
and shall tender the Third Person claim back to the Indemnified Party, who shall
thereafter, at its own expense, be responsible for the defense and negotiation
of such Third Person claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to
defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification
hereunder, or fails diligently to pursue such
49
defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its
choice, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified
Party may settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the
Indemnified Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection
therewith, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Indemnified
Party settle any Third Person claim without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
All settlements hereunder shall effect a complete release of the Indemnified
Party, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing. The parties
hereto will make appropriate adjustments for any Tax benefits, Tax detriments or
insurance proceeds in determining the amount of any indemnification obligation
under this Section, provided that no Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to
seek any payment pursuant to the terms of any insurance policy.
11.4 Limitations on Indemnification. INVESTORS and the other Persons or
entities indemnified pursuant to Section 11.1 shall not assert any claim other
than a Third Person claim for indemnification hereunder against AIRNET until
such time as, and with respect to any individual claim, unless and until such
claim or claims, individually or in the aggregate, exceed Twenty Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000). AIRNET shall not assert any claim for indemnification
hereunder against either of the INVESTORS until such time as, and solely to the
extent that, the aggregate of all claims which AIRNET may have against that
INVESTOR exceeds Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
12. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
the Closing Date solely:
(a) by mutual written consent of INVESTORS and AIRNET;
(b) by either of the INVESTORS, or by AIRNET, if the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement to take place at the Closing shall not have been
consummated by July 31, 2003, unless the failure of such transactions to be
consummated is due to the willful failure of the party seeking to terminate this
Agreement to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent
required to be performed by it prior to or on the Closing Date; or
(c) by AIRNET, if a material breach or default shall be made by
either of the INVESTORS in the observance or in the due and timely performance
of any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein, and the
curing of such default shall not have been made on or before the Closing Date;
or
(d) by either of the INVESTORS, if a material breach or default shall
be made by AIRNET in the observance or in the due and timely performance of any
of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein, and the curing of
such default shall not have been made on or before the Closing Date; or
(e) by either of the INVESTORS, in the event of the delisting of the
AIRNET Common Stock from the NASDAQ Stock Market, except for the potential
delisting from NMS and transfer to
50
NASDAQ's Small Cap as a result of AIRNET's failure to maintain the minimum bid
price criteria of $1.00, or in the event that AIRNET shall have failed to
satisfy one or more other conditions to continued listing of such Common Stock
on NASDAQ's Small Cap pursuant to written notice from NASDAQ dated after the
date of this Agreement, such that, with the passage of time, the Common Stock
may be delisted at any time after the Closing Date, except with respect to the
minimum bid price criteria of $1.00, which could be cured by a reverse stock
split and except with respect to the minimum net equity condition.
(f) by AIRNET, pursuant to Section 5.4 of this Agreement.
12.2 Liabilities in Event of Termination. The termination of this
Agreement will in no way limit any obligation or liability of any party based on
or arising from a breach or default by such party with respect to any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, legal and audit costs and out of
pocket expenses.

and employees of AIRNET cooperate with INVESTORS on and after the Closing Date

B. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS OF COMMON STOCK.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon Common
Stock are set forth in this Article IV.B. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Article IV.B., all shares of Common Stock shall be identical and shall
entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges.
1. Dividends. When, as and if dividends on Common Stock are declared by
the Corporation's Board of Directors, whether payable in cash, in property or in
securities of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to
share equally in and to receive, in accordance with the number of shares of
Common Stock held by each such holder, all such dividends.
Dividends payable under this Article IV.B. shall be paid to the holders of
record of the outstanding Common Stock as their names shall appear on the stock
register of the Corporation on the record date fixed by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation in advance of declaration and payment of each dividend. Any
Common Stock issued as a dividend pursuant to this Article IV.B. shall, when so
issued, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and
free of all liens and charges. The Corporation shall not issue fractions of
Common Stock on payment of such dividend but shall issue a whole number of
shares to such holder of Common Stock rounded up or down in the Corporation's
sole discretion to the nearest whole number, without compensation to the
stockholder whose fractional share has been rounded down or from any stockholder
whose fractional share has been rounded up.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no dividends on
Common Stock shall be declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors or paid
or set apart for payment by the Corporation at any time that such declaration,
payment, or setting apart is prohibited by applicable law.
2. Stock Split, Reclassification, etc. The Corporation shall not in any
manner subdivide (by any stock split, reclassification, stock dividend,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combine the outstanding shares of one class of
Common Stock unless the outstanding shares of all classes of Common Stock shall
be proportionately subdivided or combined.
3. Liquidation. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment shall have been
made to holders of outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, of the full amount of
which they are entitled pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation and any
resolutions that may be adopted from time to time by the Corporation's Board of
Directors, in accordance with Article IV.C. below (for the purpose of fixing the
voting rights, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or
other special rights of any class or series of Preferred Stock), the holders of
Common Stock shall be entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of Preferred
Stock, if any, to share ratably, in accordance with the number of shares of
Common Stock held by each such holder, in all remaining assets of
-2-
the Corporation available for distribution among the holders of Common Stock,
whether such assets are capital, surplus, or earnings. For the purposes of this
Article IV.B., neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or
into any other corporation or corporations in which the stockholders of the
Corporation receive capital stock and/or other securities (including debt
securities) of the acquiring corporation (or of the direct or indirect parent
corporation of the acquiring corporation), nor the sale, lease or transfer by
the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the
capital stock of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Corporation as those
terms are used in this Article IV.B.
4. Voting. Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for
each share of such stock issued and outstanding and registered in such holder's
name and shall be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may
be provided by Delaware law and this Certificate of Incorporation.
5. No Pre-emptive or Subscription Rights. No holder of Common Stock shall
be entitled to pre-emptive or subscription rights.

Directors of the Corporation under the Seventh Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, in effect at the relevant time, the Board of Directors created
a series of 3,184,713 shares of preferred stock designated as Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock by filing a Certificate of Designation of the
Corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 14,
2001, and the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative
participating and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions, of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation are
as set forth in Annex I hereto and are incorporated herein by reference. Any
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock of
the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 of such Certificate of Designation shall
be canceled and shall not under any circumstances be reissued; and the
Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may
be necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall not
issue any additional authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock
of the Corporation without the approval of stockholders of the Corporation
holding at least 90% of the voting stock of the Corporation.
Subject to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation and this
Article IV.C., the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to
decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock (but not below
the number of shares of such series then outstanding) subsequent to the issue of
shares of that series. Any and all Preferred Stock issued and for which full
consideration has been paid or delivered shall be deemed fully paid stock and
the holder thereof shall not be liable for any further payment thereon.
D. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS OF SENIOR SECURED
CONVERTIBLE NOTES. Reference is made to (i) the Senior Secured Convertible Note
of the Corporation issued to SCP Private Equity Partners II, LP ("SCP") (the
"SCP Note") and (ii) the Senior Secured Convertible Note of the Corporation
issued to TECORE, Inc.
-3-
("Tecore") (the "Tecore Note," and together with the SCP Note, the "Notes")
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the Corporation, SCP

provisions of Section 221 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, SCP and
Tecore as holders of the Notes of the Corporation (the "Noteholders") are
granted the power to vote in respect to the corporate affairs and management of
the Corporation as follows:
Except as otherwise required by law or as provided herein, each Noteholder
shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the
Corporation for a vote, and shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's then outstanding
Note, and all or any portion of accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible
pursuant to the terms thereof on the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is
established, on the date such vote is taken or any written consent of
stockholders is solicited, provided, however, that, solely for purposes of
determining the number of votes to which a Noteholder is entitled pursuant to
this Article IV.D., the price per share at which the Note, and all or any
portion of accrued and unpaid interest, may be converted shall be deemed to be
$.; provided further, that if the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the deemed conversion
price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately
reduced, and conversely, in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be combined (by reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of
shares, the deemed conversion price in effect immediately prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased. The holders of the Notes shall
be deemed to be stockholders, and their Notes shall be deemed to be shares of
stock, for the purpose of any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law
which requires the vote of stockholders as a prerequisite to any corporate
action. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the
Noteholders shall vote together with the holders of shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock as a single class on all matters. The Noteholders shall be entitled
to notice of all stockholders' meetings in accordance with the Corporation's
by-laws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Stock of the Corporation, when the number of directors which will constitute the
whole Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed at eleven (11).
-4-
(ii) The term of each director shall be the period from the effective date
of such director's election to the next annual meeting of stockholders. The term

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VI, each
director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until
his death, resignation or removal. Directors may be removed from office with or

the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(iv) In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute, the Board of Directors shall have the power to make, adopt, amend or
repeal the Bylaws, or adopt new Bylaws for this Corporation, by a resolution

Law of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any

General Corporation Law of Delaware is hereafter amended to authorize further
limitations of the liability of a director of a corporation, then a director of
the Corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which a director is not
personally liable set forth in the preceding sentence, shall not be liable to
the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware as so
amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article

adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation
existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

AIRNET COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
-------------------------
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
-------------------------
AirNet Communications Corporation (the "Corporation"), a corporation
organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, does hereby certify that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board
of Directors of the Corporation by its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
and pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, said Board of Directors, adopted the following resolution
at a meeting duly called and held on April 2, 2001, which resolution remains in
full force and effect as of the date hereof:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors
of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") by its Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), the Board of Directors does hereby create, authorize and
provide for the issuance of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01
per share, consisting of 3,184,713 shares, having the following designations,
preferences and relative and other special rights, qualifications, limitations
and restrictions:
1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. The designation of such series is "Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock" (hereinafter in this Certificate of Designation
called the "Series B Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting
such series shall be 3,184,713, which number may be decreased (but not
increased) by the Board of Directors without a vote of stockholders; provided,
however, that such number may not be decreased below the number of then
currently outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, plus shares issuable
upon the exercise of any then outstanding options, warrants or rights to acquire
Series B Preferred Stock, including dividends payable pursuant to the terms of
the Series B Preferred Stock. All capitalized terms used in this Certificate of
Designation and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such terms
in Section 13 hereof.
2. DIVIDENDS. (a) The Holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock,
in preference to the holders of all Junior Capital Stock and on a pari passu
basis with holders of
-1-
Parity Capital Stock, will be entitled to receive, when, as and if dividends are
declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds of the Corporation legally
available therefor, cumulative dividends as provided in this Section 2.
Dividends on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable
in cash, or at the option of the Corporation, in such number of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock as is set forth in Section 2(d) below, and accrue (whether or
not earned or declared) at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of (i) the
Purchase Price and (ii) all accumulated and unpaid dividends accrued thereon
from the date of issuance thereof (the "Series B Dividends"). Such dividends
will be calculated and accrued on a quarterly basis on the last day of each
fiscal quarter of the Corporation in respect of the prior three month period
prorated on a daily basis for partial periods.
(b) If the Corporation at any time pays less than the total amount of
Series B Dividends then accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock,
such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the
aggregate accrued but unpaid Series B Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock
held by each such Holder.
(c) In the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends
upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property)
other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation
shall also declare and pay to the Holders at the same time that it declares and
pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which
would have been declared and paid with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock
had all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock been converted in accordance
with Section 6(a) immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, or if
no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock
entitled to such dividends are to be determined.
(d) The Corporation may pay the Series B Dividends to each Holder by
the issuance of such number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as equals the
quotient of (i) the accrued and unpaid Series B Dividends with respect to the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock held such Holder and (ii) the Purchase Price.
3. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any (each a "Liquidation
Event") liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily, each Holder shall be entitled,
after payment of the Corporation's debts and other liabilities and any
preferential amounts due to the holders of Senior Capital Stock, to be paid in
full, before any distribution is made on any Junior Capital Stock but on a pari
passu basis with any distribution on Parity Capital Stock, an amount (the
"Liquidation Amount") with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock
held by such Holder equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) the Purchase
Price and (y) two and (ii) the Series B Dividends accrued on such share of
Series B Preferred Stock. After payment of the preferences to all holders of
preferred stock of the Corporation, all remaining assets of the Corporation
legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the
holders of the Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock (on an as-if converted to
Common Stock basis) and any other Capital Stock of the Corporation entitled to
share in such distribution.
(b) Deemed Liquidation. The Majority Holders may elect in writing by
notice delivered to the Corporation, prior to the closing of a Sale of the
Corporation, to treat a specific
-2-
proposed Sale of the Corporation (other than a Qualified Sale of the
Corporation) as a Liquidation Event for purposes of Section 3(a).
(c) Partial Payment. The Corporation shall, not later than 20 days
prior to the earlier of the record date for the taking of a vote of stockholders
with respect to any Liquidation Event or the date set for the consummation of a
Liquidation Event, provide to the Holders such information concerning the terms
of the Liquidation Event and the value of the assets of the Corporation or such
other relevant information as may be reasonably requested by the Holders. If,
upon a Liquidation Event, the net assets of the Corporation available for
payment to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of Parity
Capital Stock are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Amount to the
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the preferential amounts due to the
holders of Parity Capital Stock, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the
holders of Parity Capital Stock shall share equally and ratably in any
distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full liquidation
preference to which each is entitled.
(d) No Additional Distributions. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled to any additional distribution in the event of any
Liquidation Event in excess of the amount set forth in Section 3(a) hereof.
4. VOTING RIGHTS OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK. (a) Except as otherwise
required by law or as provided herein, each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to vote on all matters and shall be entitled to that number of
votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holder's
shares could be converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(a) hereof on
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such
matter or, if no such record date is established, on the date such vote is taken
or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, provided, however, that,
solely for purposes of determining the number of votes a Holder of Series B
Preferred Stock is entitled to pursuant to this Section 4, the Conversion Price
(as defined in Section 6(d) hereof), if then less than $2.8438, shall be deemed
to be $2.8438 (the shares deemed convertible for purposes of such determination
shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Holders' Voting Shares"). Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the Holders of shares
of the Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of shares
of the Corporation's Common Stock as a single class on all matters. The Holders
shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings in accordance with the
Corporation's by-laws and General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
(b) Notwithstanding the above paragraph or any provision to the contrary
contained herein, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled,
voting together as a separate single class, to nominate, and upon amendment of
the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation as described below to elect, two
(2) members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms set forth in
this Section 4(b) and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(c)
below. Until such time as the Corporation's stockholders have approved an
amendment to the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter
Amendment") providing for the right of the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock
to elect two (2) members of the Board of Directors and such Charter Amendment is
filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and effective (the "Charter Amendment
Effective Date") and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(c)
-3-
below, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate
single class, are entitled to designate two (2) nominees for election to the
class of the Board of Directors whose term expires at the Corporation's 2001
Annual Stockholders Meeting ("Class III") and at each subsequent election of
Class III directors prior to the Charter Amendment Effective Date, and the Board
of Directors shall nominate such designees and recommend to the Corporation's
stockholders that such designees be elected as members of Class III of the Board
of Directors.
With respect to the two (2) directors to be designated for nomination by
the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, one individual shall be designated by
SCP Private Equity Partners II, L.P. ("SCP") so long as SCP holds any Series B
Preferred Stock (the "SCP Designee for Nomination") and one individual shall be
designated by Tandem PCS Investments, L.P. ("Tandem") so long as Tandem holds
any Series B Preferred Stock (the "Tandem Designee for Nomination"). For
nominees for election at the Corporation's 2001 Annual Stockholders Meeting,
each of SCP and Tandem shall notify the Corporation in writing of the identity
of its designee no later than ten (10) days following the date on which they
become Holders of Series B Preferred Stock. For all subsequent elections of
Class III directors, each of SCP and Tandem shall notify the Corporation in
writing of the identity of its designee for nomination to Class III of the Board
of Directors no later than the last date (the "Designee Notice Due Date") on
which shareholder proposals may be submitted for an election year when they have
such a right, which notice shall be conclusive evidence of the consent of such
designee to serve as a director of the Corporation. In the event either SCP or
Tandem fails to provide such notice, the SCP Designee for Nomination and Tandem
Designee for Nomination (or the SCP representative and Tandem representative in
the case of the notice for the Corporation's 2001 Annual Stockholders' Meeting)
serving on the Board of Directors on the Designee Notice Due Date shall be
deemed to be renominated. In the event SCP or Tandem has no designee serving (or
otherwise designated to serve in the event of the resignation, death, removal or
inability to serve of a designee, as provided in the last sentence of this
paragraph) on the Board of Directors on the Designee Notice Due Date, the Board
of Directors shall be entitled to make the nomination for which such notice was
required. In the event either SCP or Tandem fails to hold any Series B Preferred
Stock, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate
single class, shall be entitled to the director nomination rights previously
held by SCP or Tandem, as the case may be. If neither SCP nor Tandem holds any
Series B Preferred Stock, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting
together as a separate single class, shall be entitled to the director
nomination rights previously held by SCP and Tandem. The notice shall include
all information with respect to such designee as is required to be included in a
proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of directors pursuant to
Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. In the event of any vacancy arising by
reason of the resignation, death, removal (which may include a removal by the
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, with or without cause, at the written
request of SCP or Tandem, as applicable, as the party designating such director)
or inability to serve of the SCP Designee for Nomination or the Tandem Designee
for Nomination, SCP or Tandem, as applicable, shall notify the Corporation of
its choice to fill such vacancy, and the Board of Directors shall appoint such
person to fill such vacancy and serve until the next meeting of the
Corporation's stockholders for the election of Class III directors.
At all times after the Charter Amendment Effective Date and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 4(c) below, the Holders of Series B Preferred
Stock, voting together as a separate
-4-
single class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of Class III of the
Board of Directors at each election of Class III directors. With respect to the
two (2) directors to be designated for election by the Holders of Series B
Preferred Stock, one individual shall be designated by SCP so long as SCP holds
any Series B Preferred Stock (the "SCP Designee for Election") and one
individual shall be designated by Tandem so long as Tandem holds any Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Tandem Designee for Election"). Each of SCP and Tandem
shall notify the Corporation in writing of the identity of its designee for
election to Class III of the Board of Directors no later than the Designee
Notice Due Date, which notice shall be conclusive evidence of the consent of
such designee to serve as a director of the Corporation. In the event either SCP
or Tandem fails to provide such notice, the SCP designee and Tandem designee
serving on the Board of Directors on the Designee Notice Due Date shall be
deemed to be the applicable designee. In the event either SCP or Tandem has no
designee serving (or otherwise designated to serve in the event of the
resignation, death, removal or inability to serve of a designee, as provided in
the last sentence of this paragraph) on the Board of Directors on the Designee
Notice Due Date, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to make the nomination
for which such notice was required. In the event SCP or Tandem fails to hold any
Series B Preferred Stock, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting
together as a separate single class, shall be entitled to the director election
rights previously held by SCP or Tandem, as the case may be. If neither SCP nor
Tandem holds any Series B Preferred Stock, the Holders of Series B Preferred
Stock, voting together as a separate single class, shall be entitled to the
director election rights previously held by SCP and Tandem. The notice shall
include all information with respect to such designee as is required to be
included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of directors
pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. In the event of any vacancy
arising by reason of the resignation, death, removal (which may include a
removal by the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, with or without cause, at
the written request of SCP or Tandem, as applicable, as the party designating
such director) or inability to serve of the SCP Designee for Election or the
Tandem Designee for Election, SCP or Tandem, as applicable (provided SCP or
Tandem, as applicable, then holds Series B Preferred Stock) shall notify the
Corporation of its choice to fill such vacancy, and the Board of Directors shall
appoint such person to fill such vacancy and serve until the next meeting of the
Corporation's stockholders for the election of Class III directors.
The class voting rights granted to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the
voting rights granted to such Holders under Section 4(a) hereof. Accordingly,
the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together with
the holders of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock as a single class with
respect to the election of those directors for which the Holders do not have
class voting rights.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, the class voting
rights to which the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled pursuant to
such section shall be limited, and in certain cases eliminated, in the event the
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock fail to maintain certain threshold levels of
ownership of the Corporation's voting securities, as set forth below. In the
event the sum of (i) the Holders' Voting Shares, plus (ii) the shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding and owned by the Holders (the total of such shares
from time to time is hereinafter referred to as the "Holders' Share Total" and
with respect to a specific
-5-
Holder, a "Share Total") constitutes less than 15% of the sum of (i) the
Corporation's outstanding shares of Common Stock plus (ii) the Holders' Voting
Shares (the total of such shares is hereinafter referred to as the "Deemed
Outstanding Shares") on a Designee Notice Due Date, the Holders of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to only one designee for nomination or
election, as the case may be, with respect to such election. In such case, SCP
or Tandem, whichever entity has a higher Share Total, shall be entitled to make
such designation. In the event, SCP and Tandem have equal Share Totals on a
Designee Notice Due Date on which the Holders are entitled to only one designee,
SCP and Tandem shall agree on a mutually acceptable designee. In the event the
Holders' Share Total constitutes less than 10% of the Deemed Outstanding Shares
on a Designee Notice Due Date, the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not
be entitled to designate a director for such election and the Holders shall be
entitled to voting rights in accordance with Section 4(a) above with respect to
such election.
5. RESTRICTED ACTIONS. (a) The affirmative vote of the Majority Holders,
acting by written consent as a separate class or voting separately as a separate
class, shall be necessary to authorize the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the
Corporation to take any of the following actions:
(i) authorize, create, issue, modify the material terms of, or
change the amount of authorized or issued shares of, any Senior Capital
Stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any Senior
Capital Stock) or Indebtedness that by its terms is convertible or
exchangeable into Senior Capital Stock (or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Senior Capital Stock;
(ii) effect (x) any Sale of the Corporation other than a
Qualified Sale of the Corporation or a Qualified Public Offering or (y) any
Reorganization of the Corporation;
(iii) alter the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series
B Preferred Stock;
(iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock;
(v) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Common
Stock or Preferred Stock (or pay into a sinking fund for such purpose);
provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to any redemption
specifically permitted pursuant to this Certificate of Designation or to
the repurchase of shares of Common Stock at the original purchase price
from employees, officers, directors or other persons performing services
for the Corporation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 and
except as otherwise required by law, the creation, authorization or issuance of
any shares of any Junior Capital Stock or Parity Capital Stock, or the increase
or decrease in the amount of authorized Junior Capital Stock or Parity Capital
Stock of any class shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of the
Majority Holders and shall not be deemed to materially affect adversely the
rights, preferences, privileges or voting rights of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock.
-6-
(c) In any case in which the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to vote (as Holders of Series B Preferred Stock rather than on an
as-if-converted basis) pursuant hereto or pursuant to the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, each Holder of Series B Preferred Stock entitled
to vote with respect to such matters shall be entitled to one vote for each
share of Series B Preferred Stock held.
6. CONVERSION RIGHTS.
(a) Optional Conversion. At any time and from time to time, any Holder
shall have the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of the shares
of Series B Preferred Stock (including all accrued dividends paid or payable in
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any fraction of a share) held by such
Holder into such number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock
as equals the product of (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to
be converted by such Holder and (ii) the quotient of (x) the Purchase Price and
(y) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. Each optional
conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been effected as
of the close of business on the effective date of such conversion specified in a
written notice by such Holder to the Corporation (the "Conversion Date");
provided, however, that the Conversion Date shall not be a date earlier than the
date such notice is so given, and if such notice does not specify a conversion
date, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be the date such notice is given to
the Corporation. On the Conversion Date, the rights of the holder of such Series
B Preferred Stock as such Holder shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose
name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to
be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a voluntary conversion of Series
B Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a public offering other than
a Qualified Public Offering or a Sale of the Corporation other than a Qualified
Sale of the Corporation, such conversion may, at the election of the Holder, be
conditioned upon the consummation of the respective public offering or Sale of
the Corporation, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be
effective until the closing of such public offering or Sale of the Corporation,
as the case may be.
(b) Mandatory Conversion. Immediately upon any Mandatory Conversion
Event, all shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each Holder (including all
accrued dividends paid or payable in shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any
fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock) shall automatically be
converted into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation as equals the product of (i) the number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock held by such Holder and (ii) the quotient of (x) the Purchase
Price and (y) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. A
"Mandatory Conversion Event" shall mean (A) the closing of a Qualified Public
Offering; (B) the closing of a Qualified Sale of the Corporation or (C) the
written election of the Majority Holders, including each Lead Investor.
(c) Conversion Procedure.
(i) Delivery of Certificates. As soon as practicable after any
conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6, but in
any event within ten (10) business days after the holder has delivered the
certificates or affidavits of loss, if
-7-
applicable, evidencing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted
into shares of Common Stock in accordance herewith, the Corporation shall
deliver to the converting holder:
(x) a certificate or certificates representing, in the
aggregate, the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
such conversion in the same name or names as the
certificates representing the converted shares (unless such
holder shall have provided written notice to the
Corporation to issue some or all of such converted shares
in another name or names, in which case the Corporation
shall deliver such certificates for such converted shares
in such other name or names provided such holder delivers
to the Corporation an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Corporation specifying that such issuance of converted
shares to other parties is permissible under an available
exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the securities laws
of any applicable state) and in such denomination or
denominations as the converting holder shall specify and a
check for cash with respect to any fractional interest in a
share of Common Stock; and
(y) with respect to an optional conversion pursuant to Section
6(a) above, a certificate representing any shares of Series
B Preferred Stock that were represented by the certificate
or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection
with such conversion but that were not converted.
From the Conversion Date and until such time as a holder of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender its certificate or certificates
therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent
the shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon the
surrender thereof.
(ii) Fully Paid Shares. The issuance of certificates for shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be made
without charge to the Holders of such Series B Preferred Stock for any
issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation
in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of
Common Stock. Upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to
insure that the Common Stock so issued upon such conversion shall be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(iii) Timely Conversion. The Corporation shall not close its
books against the transfer of Series B Preferred Stock or of Common Stock
issued or issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in any
manner that interferes with the timely conversion of Series B Preferred
Stock. The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock required to make any governmental filings or
obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any
conversion
-8-
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock hereunder (including, without
limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Corporation). The
Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that
all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any
applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any
domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be
listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately
delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance).
(iv) Reservation of Common Stock. 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 issuance upon the conversion of
or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, such
number of shares of Common Stock as are issuable upon the conversion of or
otherwise pursuant to the terms of all outstanding Series B Preferred
Stock.
(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or
scrip shall be issued upon conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred
Stock. If more than one share of Series B 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 B
Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common
Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such
fractional interest as determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors.
(d) Conversion Price. The initial conversion price shall be three and
14/100 dollars ($3.14), which may be adjusted from time to time hereafter (as so
adjusted, the "Conversion Price"). If and whenever on or after the original date
of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock the Corporation issues or sells, or
in accordance with Section 6(e) below is deemed to have issued or sold, any
shares of its Common Stock or Convertible Securities (other than Excluded
Securities) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then upon such issue
or sale, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such
issue or sale shall be reduced to an amount equal to the consideration per share
applicable to the Common Stock or Convertible Securities so issued or sold or
deemed issued or sold in accordance with Section 6(e) below.
(e) Effect on Conversion Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 6(d), the following
shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation in
any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not the
rights to exercise, exchange or convert any such Convertible Securities are
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is
issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange is less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or
sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be
deemed to be
-9-
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Corporation at the time
of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per
share. For the purposes of this paragraph, the "price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable" shall be determined by dividing (x) the total
amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the cumulative minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof and, if
applicable, the exercise, conversion and exchange of any other Convertible
Securities that such Convertible Securities may be converted into or
exchanged for, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made
when Common Stock and, if applicable, any other Convertible Securities, are
actually issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities.
(ii) Change in Exercise, Price or Conversion Rate. If the
additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which
any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock, changes at any time, the Conversion Price in
effect at the time of such change shall be readjusted to the Conversion
Price that would have been in effect at such time had such Convertible
Securities that are still outstanding provided for such changed additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
such Convertible Securities were initially granted, issued or sold.
(iii) Exceptions for Excluded Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no adjustments shall be made under this Section 6(e) with
respect to the issuance of any Excluded Securities.
(f) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at
any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or
otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in the event the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reverse stock split or otherwise)
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
(g) Certain Events. If an event not specified in this Section 6
occurs that has substantially the same economic effect on the Series B Preferred
Stock as those specifically enumerated, then this Section 6 shall be construed
liberally, mutatis mutandis, in order to give the Series B Preferred Stock the
intended benefit of the protections provided under this Section 6. In such
event, the Corporation's Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment
in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holders.
(h) Notices.
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price,
the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all Holders, setting
forth in reasonable
-10-
detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment and the facts upon
which such adjustment is based.
(ii) The Corporation shall give written notice to all Holders
at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes
its books or takes a record (x) with respect to any pro rata subscription
offer to Holders of Common Stock, (y) with respect to any Liquidation Event
or (z) with respect to any other right afforded to any holder of Common
Stock.
(i) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 6,
consideration received by the Corporation for the issue or sale of Convertible
Securities in the form of property other than cash shall be computed at the fair
value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.
7. REDEMPTION.
(a) Unless the following rights are waived or deferred in writing by
the Majority Holders (including each Lead Investor), at any time after May 31,
2006, any Holder may elect to have all shares of Series B Preferred Stock held
by such Holder redeemed by the Corporation (an "Optional Redemption"). In any
such case, any Holder desiring to exercise its Optional Redemption right (a
"Redeeming Holder") shall notify the Corporation in writing of its intent to
exercise the rights afforded by this Section 7(a) and specify a date not less
than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice on
which all of such Holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed
(an "Optional Redemption Date"). Within three (3) Trading Days after receipt by
the Corporation of any such notice, the Corporation shall promptly notify each
of the other Holders in writing of such Optional Redemption and provide a copy
of the notice from such Redeeming Holder with such notice, whereupon each of the
other Holders shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) days to notify
the Corporation in writing of its intent to exercise its Optional Redemption
right on the Optional Redemption Date. On such Optional Redemption Date, the
Corporation shall redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such
Redeeming Holder as well as all other Holders exercising such Optional
Redemption right, as aforesaid, in cash by wire transfer of immediately
available funds at a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the sum
of (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held
by such Redeeming Holder and each other Holder, respectively, and (y) the
Purchase Price and (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon calculated to
the Optional Redemption Date.
(b) If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock on an Optional Redemption Date are
insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
requested to be redeemed by Redeeming Holders on such Optional Redemption Date,
the Redeeming Holders requesting redemption on such Optional Redemption Date
shall share ratably in any funds legally available for redemption of such shares
according to the respective amounts that would be payable with respect to the
full number of shares owned by them if all such shares were redeemed in full. At
any time, and from time to time, thereafter when additional funds of the
Corporation are legally available for the redemption of such shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, such funds will be used at the earliest permissible time to
redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which funds
-11-
are then legally available. Such funds shall not be used by the Corporation for
any other purpose, including the redemption by the Corporation of any shares of
Convertible Securities which the Corporation is obligated to redeem on any
subsequent date. The Corporation shall be obligated to use its reasonable
efforts to take such actions as may be necessary in order to permit the full and
timely redemption of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to
redemption.
(c) If, for any reason, the Corporation fails to redeem all shares of
Series B Preferred Stock entitled to redemption on any Optional Redemption Date,
the unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and shall continue to have all
rights and preferences (including, without limitation, dividend and voting
rights) provided for herein and the Holders of such unredeemed shares shall have
the ongoing right to be redeemed together with such rights and remedies as may
be available under applicable law.
(d) The notices provided for in this Section 7 shall be sent, (i) if by
or on behalf of the Corporation, to the Holders at their respective addresses as
shall then appear on the records of the Corporation by first class mail, postage
prepaid, notifying such recipient of the redemption, the date of such
redemption, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and
the Redemption Price therefor and stating the place or places at which the
shares that have been requested to be redeemed shall, upon presentation and
surrender of such certificates representing such shares, be redeemed, and (ii)
if by or on behalf of a Holder, to the Corporation at its executive office,
currently located in Melbourne, Florida.
(e) Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this
Section 7 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever
shall be canceled and shall not under any circumstances be reissued; and the
Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action as may
be necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized shares of Series B
Preferred Stock.
8. EXCLUSION OF OTHER RIGHTS. Except as may otherwise be required by law,
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any preferences or
relative, participating, optional or other special rights, other than those

Exhibit B
AMENDED AND RESTATED
AIRNET BONUS PROGRAM
DATED AND EFFECTIVE _______ __, 2003
The Amended and Restated AirNet Bonus Program (the "BONUS PROGRAM") shall
consist of an Acquisition Bonus Program for Employees and a Management Bonus
Program, each described below. This BONUS PROGRAM replaces the Amended and
Restated AirNet Bonus Program dated and effective August 12, 2002.
I. BONUS PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES TIED TO SALE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES OTHER THAN
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE COMPANY.
AirNet Communications Corporation has issued secured convertible promissory
notes in the aggregate amount of $16,000,000 ("Convertible Notes") to TECORE,
Inc. ("Tecore") and to SCP Private Equity Partners II, LLP ("SCP") (SCP and
Tecore, and any of their affiliates who acquire an interest in the respective
Convertible Notes each referred to as a "Noteholder" and together referred to as
"Noteholders"). The employee share under this Bonus Program tied to the sale of
Convertible Notes ("CNBP") shall be ten percent (10%) ("Allocation Amount")
calculated as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds in excess of the principal
balance and related accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding under the
Convertible Note (or portion of a Convertible Note sold) and paid to any
Noteholder in connection with the sale by such Noteholder to any party of all or
any portion of the Convertible Notes, other than in connection with a Sale of
the Company (as defined below). By way of illustration: (a) if the principal
balance under a Convertible Note is $9,000,000 and the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest is $1,000,000 and a Noteholders sells 100% of the Convertible
Note for $20,000,000, the Sale of Note Proceeds (defined below) available for
distribution to the Noteholder in connection with their sale of all of the
Convertible Note would be $10,000,000, and $1,000,000 would be allocated to the
CNBP; and (b) if the principal balance then outstanding under a Convertible Note
is $9,000,000 and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest is $1,000,000 and a
Noteholder sells one half of the Convertible Note for $7,000,000, the Sale of
Note Proceeds available for distribution to the Noteholder would be $2,000,000
(the amount in excess of one half of the principal balance or $4,500,000 plus
one half of the related accrued and unpaid interest, or the amount in excess of
$5,000,000) and the Allocation Amount to be allocated to the CNBP would be 10%
of $2,000,000 or $200,000.
The obligation of the Noteholders to fund the CNBP is contained in the Tag Along
Allocation Agreement dated as of _____ __, 2003 by and among the Company and the
Noteholders (the "Tag Along Allocation Agreement"). If either or both of the
Noteholders receive consideration other than cash for the sale of the
Convertible Notes other than in connection with the Sale of the Company then the
CNBP may be funded in-kind in the same proportion the Noteholders receive
in-kind consideration. Whether in cash or in-kind the Company shall withhold
payroll taxes at the time of the distribution of the Allocation Amount available
for distribution under this CNBP in the minimum amount required by law (unless
an Eligible Employee requests additional withholding) in compliance with all
applicable Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other regulations. If the
distribution is other than in cash then the Company shall withhold stock or
property equal to the withholding amount at the transaction value in compliance
with IRS regulations or other regulations. The Company shall remit payment to
the IRS and applicable taxing authorities in accordance with applicable IRS and
other regulations.
II. MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEE BONUS PROGRAM IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE
COMPANY.
In the event of the Sale of the Company (as defined below), ten percent (10%) of
the Net Proceeds to Securityholders (as defined below) will be allocated by the
Company to the Management and Employee Bonus Program ("MBP").
If the Securityholders of the Company receive consideration other than cash in
connection with the Sale of the Company then the MBP may be funded in-kind in
the same proportion the Securityholders of the Company receive in-kind
consideration in connection with the Sale of the Company. By way of
illustration, if the Acquisition Price is $31,000,000 and the Net Proceeds to
Securityholders is $29,000,000, then $2,900,000 would be allocated to the MBP.
The obligation of the Noteholders to fund the MBP is contained in the Tag Along
Allocation Agreement. This obligation shall be reduced to the extent the amounts
payable to Eligible Employees is reduced due to such Employees' In-the-money
Options as described in Paragraph 3 below. Whether in cash or in-kind the
Company shall withhold payroll taxes at the time of the distribution of the Net
Proceeds to Securityholders available for distribution in the minimum amount
required by law (unless an Eligible Employee requests additional withholding) in
compliance with all applicable IRS and other regulations. If the distribution is
other than in cash then the Company shall withhold stock or property equal to
the withholding amount at the transaction value in compliance with IRS
regulations or other regulations. The Company shall remit payment to the IRS and
applicable taxing authorities in accordance with applicable IRS and other

obligations under either of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes, or
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, or any of the Events of
Default described therein."
d. The definition of the term "Loan Documents" in Section 1 shall
be revised to add the following at the end thereof:
"Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term "Loan
Documents" shall include the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and the
Securities Purchase Agreement."
e. Section 2 of the Security Agreement is hereby amended by adding
the phrase ", the Senior Secured Convertible Notes" immediately after the word

f. Section 10 of the Security Agreement is hereby deleted, and the
following new Section 10 is hereby substituted in lieu thereof:
"10. Termination.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, upon payment and
performance in full of the Debt, this Agreement shall terminate and be
of no further force and effect and the Lenders shall thereupon
terminate their security interest in the Collateral. Until such time,
however, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
2
benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns provided that,
without the prior written consent of the Lenders, the Borrower may not
assign this Agreement or any of its rights under this Agreement or
delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement and any
such attempt at assignment or delegation shall be null and void. This
Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to obligate the
Lenders to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Collateral or
to incur expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or
disability of the Borrower, nor shall this Agreement be construed to
abrogate any responsibility of the Lenders under the applicable
provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code relating to the disposition
of the Collateral.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Debt shall be deemed paid
and performed in full upon both (i) the conversion into common stock of
all amounts, including principal and interest, represented by the
Senior Secured Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of said Senior
Secured Convertible Notes, and (ii) the payment in full of all accrued
but unpaid interest under the Notes, as amended by the Allonges, dated
____________________, 2003.
(c) If, after receipt of any payment of, or application of the
proceeds of, the Collateral to the payment of all or any part of, the
Debt, Lenders, or either of them, are compelled to surrender or
voluntarily surrender such payment or proceeds to any person, because
such payment or application of proceeds is or may be avoided,
invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, declared to be void or
voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, impermissible set-off,
or diversion of trust funds, or because of any settlement or compromise
of such claim, this Agreement shall be reinstated and shall continue to
be in full force and effect. This reinstatement and continuing effect
shall exist as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Lenders notwithstanding any revocation or termination of this
Agreement, or the surrender of any instrument evidencing the Debt, or
the return or cancellation of any instrument or document relating to
the Debt."
2. Acknowledgment and Ratification. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge,
confirm and ratify the terms of the Security Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment.
3. Counterparts. The Amendment may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

hereof or any other person who shall at the time be the holder or assignee of
this Note. This Note is referred to in the Purchase Agreement and is entitled to

unconditional, to pay the principal and interest on the Note at the time and in
the manner prescribed herein.
3. Security Interest. This Note is secured by and is entitled to the
benefits of (i) the Security Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2003, by and
among the Company and the purchasers of the Notes (the "Original Security
Agreement"), as amended by the First Amendment to Security Agreement, dated as

(the "Amendment to Security Agreement") (the Original Security Agreement, as so

Escrow Agreement, dated as of _______ __, 2003, by and among the Company and the

this Note, the Collateral Agreements, and the Purchase Agreement, the holder
shall have all those rights and remedies allowed by applicable laws, including
without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code. The rights and remedies of the
holder are cumulative, and recourse to one or more right or remedy shall not
constitute a waiver of the others. The Company shall be liable for all
commercially reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by the
holder in connection with the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note.
4. Voting Rights.
4.1. General Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as
required by law, the holders of the Notes:
4.1.1. shall be entitled to vote in respect to the corporate
affairs and management of the Company to the extent hereinafter
provided;
4.1.2. shall have the same right of inspection of the books,
accounts and other records of the Company which the holders of Common
Stock have or may have under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"GCL") or the Company's certificate of incorporation; and
2
4.1.3. shall be deemed to be stockholders of the Company, and
the Notes shall be deemed to be stock, for the purpose of any provision
of the GCL which requires the vote of stockholders as a prerequisite to
any corporate action.
4.2. Number of Votes. The Notes shall be voted equally with the
shares of the Common Stock of the Company, and not as a separate class, at any
annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or in connection with
any solicitation of written consents in lieu of a meeting, upon the following
basis: the holder of this Note shall be entitled to such number of votes as
shall be equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Note is convertible pursuant to Section 5 hereof immediately after the close of
business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such
written consent; provided, however, that in calculating the number of shares
into which this Note is then convertible for purposes of calculating such number
of votes, the initial Conversion Price, as hereinafter defined, shall be deemed
to be $.57 representing the average closing price of the Common Stock on the
date of execution of the Purchase Agreement and the four business days prior to
such execution (the "Deemed Conversion Price") (which Deemed Conversion Price is
subject to adjustment in the same manner that the Conversion Price is subject to
adjustment as provided in Sections 5.5 and 5.6).
5. Conversion of Note.
5.1. Right to Convert. Subject to and upon compliance with the
provisions hereof, the holder of this Note shall have the right, at such
holder's option, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the unpaid
principal amount hereof and all or any portion of accrued but unpaid interest
into shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, of the Company ("Common Stock") at
the price of $0.10810 per share (the "Original Conversion Price"), or, in case
an adjustment of such price has taken place pursuant to the further provisions
of this Section 5, then at the price as last adjusted and in effect on the date
this Note or portion hereof is presented for conversion (the Original Conversion
Price or the Original Conversion Price as last adjusted, as the case may be,
being referred to herein as the "Conversion Price"). The minimum principal
amount of this Note which may be converted at any time shall be the lesser of
(a) $100,000 or (b) the outstanding principal balance of this Note.
5.2. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the
conversion privilege, the holder of this Note shall present it to the Company at
the office of the Company, accompanied by written notice to the Company (with
copies to the holders of any other Notes) that the holder elects to convert this
Note, or, if less than the entire unpaid principal amount hereof and interest
thereon is to be converted, the portion hereof to be converted. Such notice
shall also state the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such
conversion shall be issued. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such
notice and the presentation of this Note, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number
of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note (or
portion hereof), and provision shall be made for any fraction of a share as
provided in Section 5.3 hereof. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such
notice shall have been received by the Company and this Note shall have been
3
presented as aforesaid, and conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in
effect at such time, and at such time the rights of the holder of this Note as
such holder shall cease (to the extent this Note is so converted) and the person
or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares
shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder
or holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Upon conversion of less
than all of the unpaid principal amount and interest of this Note, appropriate
notation shall be made on this Note of the principal amount and/or interest so
converted, and this Note shall be retained by the holder following such
notation. Upon conversion of the balance of the principal amount and interest of
this Note, this Note shall be deemed cancelled and the holder shall surrender
this Note to the Company.
5.3. Adjustment for Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
shall be issued upon conversions of the Note. Any remaining principal amount
shall be paid in cash.
5.4. Adjustment of Conversion Price.
5.4.1. Upon Dilutive Issuances. If the Company shall issue or
sell shares of its Common Stock or "Common Stock Equivalents" (as
defined in Section 5.4.2 below) without consideration or at a price per
share or "Net Consideration Per Share" (as defined in Section 5.4.3
below) less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, then in each such case the Conversion Price,
except as hereinafter provided, shall be lowered so as to be equal to
the greater of (1) the net aggregate consideration, if any, received or
receivable by the Company for the total number of such additional
shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued divided by the
number of shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued, or
(2) $0.001.
5.4.2. Common Stock Equivalents.
(a) General. For the purposes of this Section 5.4, the
issuance of any warrants, options, subscription or
purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock
and the issuance of any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock and the issuance
of any warrants, options, subscription or purchase
rights with respect to such convertible or exchangeable
securities (collectively, "Common Stock Equivalents"),
shall be deemed an issuance of Common Stock. Any
obligation, agreement or undertaking to issue Common
Stock Equivalents at any time in the future shall be
deemed to be an issuance at the time such obligation,
agreement or undertaking is made or arises. No
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under
this Section 5.4 upon the issuance of any shares of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise,
conversion or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents
if any adjustment shall previously have been made upon
the issuance of any such Common Stock Equivalents as
above provided.
4
(b) Adjustments for Adjustment, Cancellation or
Expiration of Common Stock Equivalents. Should the Net
Consideration Per Share of any such Common Stock
Equivalents be decreased or increased from time to time,
then, upon the effectiveness of each such change, the
Conversion Price will be that which would have been
obtained (1) had the adjustments made pursuant to
Section 5.4.1 upon the issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents been made upon the basis of the new Net
Consideration Per Share of such securities, and (2) had
the adjustments made to the Conversion Price since the
date of issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents been
made to such Conversion Price as adjusted pursuant to
clause (1) above. Any adjustment of the Conversion Price
with respect to this Section which relates to any Common
Stock Equivalent shall be disregarded if, as, and when
such Common Stock Equivalent expires or is canceled
without being exercised, or is repurchased by the
Company at a price per share at or less than the
original purchase price, so that the Conversion Price
effective immediately upon such cancellation or
expiration shall be equal to the Conversion Price that
would have been in effect had the expired or canceled
Common Stock Equivalent not been issued.
5.4.3. Net Consideration Per Share. For purposes of this
Section 5.4, the "Net Consideration Per Share" which shall be
receivable by the Company for any Common Stock Equivalents shall be
determined as follows:
(a) The "Net Consideration Per Share" shall mean the
amount equal to the total amount of consideration, if
any, received by the Company for the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalents, plus the minimum amount of
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, divided by the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be
issued if all such Common Stock Equivalents were
exercised, exchanged or converted.
(b) The "Net Consideration Per Share" which shall be
receivable by the Company shall be determined in each
instance as of the date of issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents without giving effect to any possible future
upward price adjustments or rate adjustments which may
be applicable with respect to such Common Stock
Equivalents.
5.4.4. Stock Dividends for Holders of Capital Stock Other Than
Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall make or issue, or
shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any capital
stock of the Company,
5
other than holders of Common Stock, entitled to receive a dividend or
other distribution payable in Common Stock or securities of the
Company convertible into or otherwise exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock of the Company, then such Common Stock or other
securities issued in payment of such dividend shall be deemed to have
been issued for a consideration of $0.001.
5.4.5. Consideration Other than Cash. For purposes of this
Section 5.4, if a part or all of the consideration received by the
Company in connection with the issuance of shares of the Common Stock
or the issuance of any of the securities described in this Section 5.4
consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be
deemed to have a fair market value as is reasonably determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event of any
dispute between the holders of the Note and the Company regarding the
determination of fair market value, at the option of the holder of the
Note, the Company shall engage a consulting firm or investment banking
firm, reasonably acceptable to the holder of the Note, to prepare an
independent appraisal of the fair market value of such property to be
distributed. The expenses of any appraisal by such consulting or
investment banking firm shall be borne by the Company only if the fair
market value of such property to be distributed, as determined in the
independent appraisal, differs from the amount determined by the Board
of Directors by at least ten percent (10%), and otherwise the expenses
of any such appraisal shall be paid by the holders of the Notes.
5.4.6. Exercise of Outstanding Warrants or Options.
(a) In the event that the holder of a warrant to
purchase Common Stock which is outstanding on the date
of original issuance of this Note (an "Outstanding
Warrant") (such date referred to as the "Original
Issuance Date") shall exercise such Outstanding Warrant
on a date subsequent to the Original Issuance Date,
then, in each such case, the Conversion Price of this
Note then in effect shall be automatically adjusted
downward so that the number of shares of Common Stock
into which this Note is convertible (at such adjusted
Conversion Price) shall represent the same Percentage
Ownership (as hereinafter defined) as the Percentage
Ownership which the shares into which this Note was
convertible at the unadjusted Conversion Price
represented immediately prior to the exercise of such
Outstanding Warrant.
(b) In the event that the holder of an option to
purchase Common Stock which is outstanding on the
Original Issuance Date (an "Outstanding Option") shall
exercise such option on a date subsequent to the
Original Issuance Date, then, in each such case, the
Conversion Price of this Note then in effect shall be
automatically adjusted downward so that the number of
shares of Common Stock
6
into which this Note is convertible (at such adjusted
Conversion Price) shall represent the same Percentage
Ownership (as hereinafter defined) as the Percentage
Ownership which the shares into which this Note was
convertible at the unadjusted Conversion Price
represented immediately prior to the exercise of such
Outstanding Option; provided that the adjustment to the
Conversion Price required by this subparagraph (b) shall
not apply with respect to the exercise of Outstanding
Options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock
(with appropriate adjustments to such number of shares
to reflect adjustments to the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable under outstanding options in accordance
with the anti-dilution terms of such options).
(c) In the event that the holder of preferred stock,
convertible into Common Stock, which is outstanding on
the Original Issuance Date ("Outstanding Preferred")
shall convert such Outstanding Preferred on a date
subsequent to the Original Issuance Date, then, in each
such case, the Conversion Price of this Note then in
effect shall be automatically adjusted downward so that
the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Note is convertible (at such adjusted Conversion Price)
shall represent the same Percentage Ownership (as
hereinafter defined) as the Percentage Ownership which
the shares into which this Note was convertible at the
unadjusted Conversion Price represented immediately
prior to the conversion of such Outstanding Preferred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the
Conversion Price shall be made as a result of the
conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible Stock
on the Original Issuance Date.
(d) For purposes of this Section 5.4.6, the term
"Percentage Ownership" of particular shares shall mean
the number of votes such shares possess with respect to
the election generally of directors, divided by the
number of votes possessed by all Voting Securities at
such time with respect to the election generally of
directors. For this purpose, the term "Voting
Securities" shall mean all outstanding securities (debt
or equity) of the Company entitled to vote generally in
the election of directors (excluding the Notes) plus the
shares into which the Notes are then convertible plus
the shares into which all other outstanding convertible
securities (which term expressly excludes any
Outstanding Options, Outstanding Warrants, or
Outstanding Preferred) are then convertible plus the
shares which are then issuable upon the exercise of
options granted after the Original Issuance Date which
remain unexercised on the date of determination plus the
shares which are then issuable upon the
7
exercise of up to 300,000 Outstanding Options which
remain outstanding on the date of determination).
5.4.7. Exceptions to Anti-dilution Adjustments. This Section
5.4 shall not apply under any of the following circumstances:
(a) upon the occurrence of any event which would
constitute an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as
described below);
(b) except as provided in Section 5.4.6, upon the
exercise or conversion of any warrants, options, or
convertible securities issued and outstanding on the
date of original issuance of this Note;
(c) upon the grant of any options to purchase Common
Stock under any employee benefit plan now existing or
implemented in the future, provided the grant of such
options is approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company, and further provided the total number of shares
of Common Stock subject to options granted on or after
the date of original issuance of this Note is no greater
than 21,766,212 plus amounts permitted pursuant to
Section 9.11 of the Purchase Agreement; or
(d) upon the exercise of any options referenced in
Section 5.4.7(c).
5.5. Adjustment Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the
happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the
Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary
Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price, which, as so adjusted, shall
be readjusted in the same manner upon happening of any successive Extraordinary
Common Stock Event Events.
An "Extraordinary Common Stock Event" shall mean (i) the issue of
additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on
outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivision of outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a
combination or reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of the Common Stock.
5.6. Adjustment Upon Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If
the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of
any other class or classes of capital stock, whether by capital reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Extraordinary
Common Stock Event), then and in each such event the holder of each Note shall
have the right thereafter to convert such Note into, in lieu of the num-
8
ber of shares of Common Stock which the holder would otherwise have been
entitled to receive, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or other change by the holders of the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such Note could have been converted immediately prior to
such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject
to further adjustment as provided herein. The provision for such conversion
right shall be a condition precedent to the consummation by the Company of any
such transaction.
5.7. Certificate as to Adjustments; Notice by Company. In each case
of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company at its
expense will furnish each holder of the Note with a certificate prepared by the
Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, showing such adjustment or
readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based.
5.8. Consolidation or Merger. If any consolidation or merger of the
Company with another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
consolidation or merger, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the
holder of the Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the basis and
upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore receivable upon the
conversion of the Note, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be
issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding
shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore so
receivable by such holder had such consolidation or merger not taken place, and
in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including
without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such
conversion rights. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation or
merger, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed
or delivered to the holder hereof, the obligation to deliver to such holder such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holder may be entitled to receive. Except as expressly set
forth in this Section 5.8, however, nothing contained in this Section 5.8 will
be deemed to restrict the Company from entering into a consolidation or merger;
provided, however, that the restrictions of the Purchase Agreement shall remain
applicable.
5.9. Notice of Certain Actions. In case at any time:
5.9.1. the Company shall declare any dividend upon shares of
its capital stock payable in securities or make any special dividend or
other distribution;
5.9.2. the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of any class of its capital stock any additional securities of
any class or other rights;
9
5.9.3. there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation
or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all its
assets to, another corporation;
5.9.4. there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or
5.9.5. the Company shall enter into an agreement or adopt a
plan for the purpose of effecting a consolidation, merger, or sale of
all or substantially all of its assets;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice,
by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered holder hereof, of the
date on which (a) the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be
taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or (b) such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, 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 shares of record shall
participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be
entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property deliverable
upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such written notice
shall be given at least 30 days prior to the action in question and not less
than 30 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's
transfer books are closed in respect thereto.
5.10. Registration and Listing. If any shares required to be
reserved for purposes of conversions of the Note hereunder require registration
with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal (other than the
Securities Act of 1933 or similar federal statute then in force) or state law,
or listing on any national securities exchange, before such shares may be issued
upon conversion, the Company will, at its expense, as expeditiously as possible
cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, or listed on the relevant
national securities exchange, as the case may be.
5.11. Automatic Conversion.
5.11.1. Events Causing Conversion. Immediately (A) upon the
closing of a Qualified Public Offering, as hereinafter defined, but
subject to such closing, or (B) upon the closing of a Qualified Sale of
the Company, but subject to such closing, this Note shall be converted
automatically into the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Note is then convertible pursuant to Section 5.1 as of the closing and
consummation of such Qualified Public Offering or the date of the event
constituting the Qualified Sale of the Company, without any further
action by the holder of the Note and whether or not the Note is
surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.

of the Company which provides for minimum consideration
payable with respect to each share of Common Stock (on a

which is not an Affiliate of the Company, the sale of

11
chase price of this Note when due pursuant to any of Sections
1.1(b)(ii)-(ix) of the Purchase Agreement, and such failure shall not
be cured on or before the 20th calendar day following such due date,
this Note shall immediately be converted automatically into the number
of shares of Common Stock into which the Note is then convertible
pursuant to Section 5.1 as of the close of business of such 20th day,
without any further action by the holder of the Note and whether or not
the Note is surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.
5.11.4. Surrender of Certificates Upon Automatic Conversion.
Upon the occurrence of the conversion event specified in either Section
5.11.1 or 5.11.3, the holder of the Note shall, upon notice from the
Company, surrender the Note at the office of the Corporation or its
transfer agent for the Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued
and delivered to such holder a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note so surrendered was
convertible on the date on which the conversion occurred. The Company
shall not be obligated to issue such certificates unless the Note is
either delivered to the Company or any such transfer agent or the
holder notifies the Company that the Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to
indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith.
6. Event of Default. In case an Event of Default, as defined in the

upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the
effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Purchase Agreement and the
Collateral Agreements.
7. Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with the registered holder
of this Note to do (or refrain from doing) all those things required of the

Company, and at the expense of the Company receive in exchange therefor a new
Note in the same aggregate principal amount as the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Note so surrendered and bearing interest at the same annual rate
as the Note so surrendered, each such new Note to be dated as of the date to
which interest has been paid on the Note so surrendered and to be in such
principal amount and, subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the
Purchase Agreement, payable to such person or persons, or order, as such holder
may designate in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any new Note in a name other than that of the
holder of the Note surrendered in exchange therefor. Five days prior written
notice of the holder's intention to make such exchange shall be given to the
Company.
12
8.2. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and (in case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to
the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Note of like tenor in lieu of this Note. Any Note made and delivered in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be dated as of the

principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and the Company may from
time to time enter into agreements for the purpose of amending or waiving any
covenant, agreement or condition of the Notes or changing in any manner the

more than 80% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding

in accordance with the requirements of Section 14.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
11. Severability. Should any part but not the whole of this Note for any
reason be declared invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of any
remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in force and effect as
if this Note had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and
it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have
executed the remaining portion of this Note without including therein any such
part which may, for any reason, be hereafter declared invalid.
12. Captions. The descriptive headings of the various Sections or parts of
this Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or

Section 1 hereof or any other person who shall at the time be the holder or
assignee of this Note. This Note is referred to in the Purchase Agreement and is
entitled to the benefits of the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
No reference herein to the Purchase Agreement and no provision of this Note or

3. Security Interest. This Note is secured by and is entitled to the
benefits of (i) the Security Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2003, by and
among the Company and the purchasers of the Notes (the "Original Security
Agreement"), as amended by the First Amendment to Security Agreement, dated as

(the "Amendment to Security Agreement") (the Original Security Agreement, as so

this Note, the Collateral Agreements, and the Purchase Agreement, the holder
shall have all those rights and remedies allowed by applicable laws, including
without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code. The rights and remedies of the
holder are cumulative, and recourse to one or more right or remedy shall not
constitute a waiver of the others. The Company shall be liable for all
commercially reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by the
holder in connection with the collection of the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note.
4. Voting Rights.
4.1. General Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as
required by law, the holders of the Notes:
4.1.1. shall be entitled to vote in respect to the corporate
affairs and management of the Company to the extent hereinafter
provided;
4.1.2. shall have the same right of inspection of the books,
accounts and other records of the Company which the holders of Common
Stock have or may have under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"GCL") or the Company's certificate of incorporation; and
4.1.3. shall be deemed to be stockholders of the Company, and
the Notes shall be deemed to be stock, for the purpose of any provision
of the GCL which requires the vote of stockholders as a prerequisite to
any corporate action.
2
4.2. Number of Votes. The Notes shall be voted equally with the
shares of the Common Stock of the Company, and not as a separate class, at any
annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or in connection with
any solicitation of written consents in lieu of a meeting, upon the following
basis: the holder of this Note shall be entitled to such number of votes as
shall be equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Note is convertible pursuant to Section 5 hereof immediately after the close of
business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such
written consent; provided, however, that in calculating the number of shares
into which this Note is then convertible for purposes of calculating such number
of votes, the initial Conversion Price, as hereinafter defined, shall be deemed
to be $.57 representing the average closing price of the Common Stock on the
date of execution of the Purchase Agreement and the four business days prior to
such execution (the "Deemed Conversion Price") (which Deemed Conversion Price is
subject to adjustment in the same manner that the Conversion Price is subject to
adjustment as provided in Sections 5.5 and 5.6).
5. Conversion of Note.
5.1. Right to Convert. Subject to and upon compliance with the
provisions hereof, the holder of this Note shall have the right, at such
holder's option, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the unpaid
principal amount hereof and all or any portion of accrued but unpaid interest
into shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, of the Company ("Common Stock") at
the price of $0.10810 per share (the "Original Conversion Price"), or, in case
an adjustment of such price has taken place pursuant to the further provisions
of this Section 5, then at the price as last adjusted and in effect on the date
this Note or portion hereof is presented for conversion (the Original Conversion
Price or the Original Conversion Price as last adjusted, as the case may be,
being referred to herein as the "Conversion Price"). The minimum principal
amount of this Note which may be converted at any time shall be the lesser of
(a) $100,000 or (b) the outstanding principal balance of this Note.
5.2. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the
conversion privilege, the holder of this Note shall present it to the Company at
the office of the Company, accompanied by written notice to the Company (with
copies to the holders of any other Notes) that the holder elects to convert this
Note, or, if less than the entire unpaid principal amount hereof and interest
thereon is to be converted, the portion hereof to be converted. Such notice
shall also state the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such
conversion shall be issued. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such
notice and the presentation of this Note, the Company shall issue and shall
deliver to the holder of this Note a certificate or certificates for the number
of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note (or
portion hereof), and provision shall be made for any fraction of a share as
provided in Section 5.3 hereof. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such
notice shall have been received by the Company and this Note shall have been
presented as aforesaid, and conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in
effect at such time, and at such time the rights of the holder of this Note as
such holder shall cease (to the extent this Note is so converted) and the person
or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares
shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the
3
holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Upon conversion
of less than all of the unpaid principal amount and interest of this Note,
appropriate notation shall be made on this Note of the principal amount and/or
interest so converted, and this Note shall be retained by the holder following
such notation. Upon conversion of the balance of the principal amount and
interest of this Note, this Note shall be deemed cancelled and the holder shall
surrender this Note to the Company.
5.3. Adjustment for Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip
shall be issued upon conversions of the Note. Any remaining principal amount
shall be paid in cash.
5.4. Adjustment of Conversion Price.
5.4.1. Upon Dilutive Issuances. If the Company shall issue or
sell shares of its Common Stock or "Common Stock Equivalents" (as
defined in Section 5.4.2 below) without consideration or at a price per
share or "Net Consideration Per Share" (as defined in Section 5.4.3
below) less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, then in each such case the Conversion Price,
except as hereinafter provided, shall be lowered so as to be equal to
the greater of (1) the net aggregate consideration, if any, received or
receivable by the Company for the total number of such additional
shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued divided by the
number of shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued, or
(2) $0.001.
5.4.2. Common Stock Equivalents.
(a) General. For the purposes of this Section 5.4, the
issuance of any warrants, options, subscription or
purchase rights with respect to shares of Common Stock
and the issuance of any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock and the issuance
of any warrants, options, subscription or purchase
rights with respect to such convertible or exchangeable
securities (collectively, "Common Stock Equivalents"),
shall be deemed an issuance of Common Stock. Any
obligation, agreement or undertaking to issue Common
Stock Equivalents at any time in the future shall be
deemed to be an issuance at the time such obligation,
agreement or undertaking is made or arises. No
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under
this Section 5.4 upon the issuance of any shares of
Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise,
conversion or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents
if any adjustment shall previously have been made upon
the issuance of any such Common Stock Equivalents as
above provided.
(b) Adjustments for Adjustment, Cancellation or
Expiration of Common Stock Equivalents. Should the Net
Consideration Per Share of any such Common Stock
Equivalents be decreased or increased
4
from time to time, then, upon the effectiveness of each
such change, the Conversion Price will be that which
would have been obtained (1) had the adjustments made
pursuant to Section 5.4.1 upon the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalents been made upon the basis of the
new Net Consideration Per Share of such securities, and
(2) had the adjustments made to the Conversion Price
since the date of issuance of such Common Stock
Equivalents been made to such Conversion Price as
adjusted pursuant to clause (1) above. Any adjustment of
the Conversion Price with respect to this Section which
relates to any Common Stock Equivalent shall be
disregarded if, as, and when such Common Stock
Equivalent expires or is canceled without being
exercised, or is repurchased by the Company at a price
per share at or less than the original purchase price,
so that the Conversion Price effective immediately upon
such cancellation or expiration shall be equal to the
Conversion Price that would have been in effect had the
expired or canceled Common Stock Equivalent not been
issued.
5.4.3. Net Consideration Per Share. For purposes of this
Section 5.4, the "Net Consideration Per Share" which shall be
receivable by the Company for any Common Stock Equivalents shall be
determined as follows:
(a) The "Net Consideration Per Share" shall mean the
amount equal to the total amount of consideration, if
any, received by the Company for the issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalents, plus the minimum amount of
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, divided by the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be
issued if all such Common Stock Equivalents were
exercised, exchanged or converted.
(b) The "Net Consideration Per Share" which shall be
receivable by the Company shall be determined in each
instance as of the date of issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents without giving effect to any possible future
upward price adjustments or rate adjustments which may
be applicable with respect to such Common Stock
Equivalents.
5.4.4. Stock Dividends for Holders of Capital Stock Other Than
Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall make or issue, or
shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any capital
stock of the Company, other than holders of Common Stock, entitled to
receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock or
securities of the Company convertible into or otherwise exchangeable
for shares of Common Stock of the Company, then
5
such Common Stock or other securities issued in payment of such
dividend shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of
$0.001.
5.4.5. Consideration Other than Cash. For purposes of this
Section 5.4, if a part or all of the consideration received by the
Company in connection with the issuance of shares of the Common Stock
or the issuance of any of the securities described in this Section 5.4
consists of property other than cash, such consideration shall be
deemed to have a fair market value as is reasonably determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event of any
dispute between the holders of the Note and the Company regarding the
determination of fair market value, at the option of the holder of the
Note, the Company shall engage a consulting firm or investment banking
firm, reasonably acceptable to the holder of the Note, to prepare an
independent appraisal of the fair market value of such property to be
distributed. The expenses of any appraisal by such consulting or
investment banking firm shall be borne by the Company only if the fair
market value of such property to be distributed, as determined in the
independent appraisal, differs from the amount determined by the Board
of Directors by at least ten percent (10%), and otherwise the expenses
of any such appraisal shall be paid by the holders of the Notes.
5.4.6. Exercise of Outstanding Warrants or Options.
(a) In the event that the holder of a warrant to
purchase Common Stock which is outstanding on the date
of original issuance of this Note (an "Outstanding
Warrant") (such date referred to as the "Original
Issuance Date") shall exercise such Outstanding Warrant
on a date subsequent to the Original Issuance Date,
then, in each such case, the Conversion Price of this
Note then in effect shall be automatically adjusted
downward so that the number of shares of Common Stock
into which this Note is convertible (at such adjusted
Conversion Price) shall represent the same Percentage
Ownership (as hereinafter defined) as the Percentage
Ownership which the shares into which this Note was
convertible at the unadjusted Conversion Price
represented immediately prior to the exercise of such
Outstanding Warrant.
(b) In the event that the holder of an option to
purchase Common Stock which is outstanding on the
Original Issuance Date (an "Outstanding Option") shall
exercise such option on a date subsequent to the
Original Issuance Date, then, in each such case, the
Conversion Price of this Note then in effect shall be
automatically adjusted downward so that the number of
shares of Common Stock into which this Note is
convertible (at such adjusted Conversion Price) shall
represent the same Percentage Ownership (as hereinafter
defined) as the Percentage Ownership which the shares
into
6
which this Note was convertible at the unadjusted
Conversion Price represented immediately prior to the
exercise of such Outstanding Option; provided that the
adjustment to the Conversion Price required by this
subparagraph (b) shall not apply with respect to the
exercise of Outstanding Options to purchase up to
300,000 shares of Common Stock (with appropriate
adjustments to such number of shares to reflect
adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable under outstanding options in accordance with
the anti-dilution terms of such options).
(c) In the event that the holder of preferred stock,
convertible into Common Stock, which is outstanding on
the Original Issuance Date ("Outstanding Preferred")
shall convert such Outstanding Preferred on a date
subsequent to the Original Issuance Date, then, in each
such case, the Conversion Price of this Note then in
effect shall be automatically adjusted downward so that
the number of shares of Common Stock into which this
Note is convertible (at such adjusted Conversion Price)
shall represent the same Percentage Ownership (as
hereinafter defined) as the Percentage Ownership which
the shares into which this Note was convertible at the
unadjusted Conversion Price represented immediately
prior to the conversion of such Outstanding Preferred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment to the
Conversion Price shall be made as a result of the
conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible Stock
on the Original Issuance Date.
(d) For purposes of this Section 5.4.6, the term
"Percentage Ownership" of particular shares shall mean
the number of votes such shares possess with respect to
the election generally of directors, divided by the
number of votes possessed by all Voting Securities at
such time with respect to the election generally of
directors. For this purpose, the term "Voting
Securities" shall mean all outstanding securities (debt
or equity) of the Company entitled to vote generally in
the election of directors (excluding the Notes) plus the
shares into which the Notes are then convertible plus
the shares into which all other outstanding convertible
securities (which term expressly excludes any
Outstanding Options, Outstanding Warrants, or
Outstanding Preferred) are then convertible plus the
shares which are then issuable upon the exercise of
options granted after the Original Issuance Date which
remain unexercised on the date of determination plus the
shares which are then issuable upon the exercise of up
to 300,000 Outstanding Options which remain outstanding
on the date of determination).
7
5.4.7. Exceptions to Anti-dilution Adjustments. This Section
5.4 shall not apply under any of the following circumstances:
(a) upon the occurrence of any event which would
constitute an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as
described below);
(b) except as provided in Section 5.4.6, upon the
exercise or conversion of any warrants, options, or
convertible securities issued and outstanding on the
date of original issuance of this Note;
(c) upon the grant of any options to purchase Common
Stock under any employee benefit plan now existing or
implemented in the future, provided the grant of such
options is approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company, and further provided the total number of shares
of Common Stock subject to options granted on or after
the date of original issuance of this Note is no greater
than 21,766,212 plus amounts permitted pursuant to
Section 9.11 of the Purchase Agreement; or
(d) upon the exercise of any options referenced in
Section 5.4.7(c).
5.5. Adjustment Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event. Upon the
happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the
Conversion Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Extraordinary
Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such Extraordinary Common Stock Event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such Extraordinary Common Stock Event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price, which, as so adjusted, shall
be readjusted in the same manner upon happening of any successive Extraordinary
Common Stock Event Events.
An "Extraordinary Common Stock Event" shall mean (i) the issue of
additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on
outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivision of outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a
combination or reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of the Common Stock.
5.6. Adjustment Upon Capital Reorganization or Reclassification. If
the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of
any other class or classes of capital stock, whether by capital reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Extraordinary
Common Stock Event), then and in each such event the holder of each Note shall
have the right thereafter to convert such Note into, in lieu of the number of
shares of Common Stock which the holder would otherwise have been entitled to
receive, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and
property receivable upon such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification
or other change by the holders of the num-
8
ber of shares of Common Stock into which such Note could have been converted
immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or
change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. The provision for
such conversion right shall be a condition precedent to the consummation by the
Company of any such transaction.
5.7. Certificate as to Adjustments; Notice by Company. In each case
of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company at its
expense will furnish each holder of the Note with a certificate prepared by the
Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, showing such adjustment or
readjustment, and stating in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based.
5.8. Consolidation or Merger. If any consolidation or merger of the
Company with another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
consolidation or merger, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the
holder of the Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the basis and
upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore receivable upon the
conversion of the Note, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be
issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding
shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore so
receivable by such holder had such consolidation or merger not taken place, and
in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights
and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including
without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such
conversion rights. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation or
merger, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the
successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such
consolidation or merger shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed
or delivered to the holder hereof, the obligation to deliver to such holder such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, such holder may be entitled to receive. Except as expressly set
forth in this Section 5.8, however, nothing contained in this Section 5.8 will
be deemed to restrict the Company from entering into a consolidation or merger;
provided, however, that the restrictions of the Purchase Agreement shall remain
applicable.
5.9. Notice of Certain Actions. In case at any time:
5.9.1. the Company shall declare any dividend upon shares of
its capital stock payable in securities or make any special dividend or
other distribution;
5.9.2. the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of any class of its capital stock any additional securities of
any class or other rights;
5.9.3. there shall be any capital reorganization, or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation
or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all its

9
5.9.4. there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or
5.9.5. the Company shall enter into an agreement or adopt a
plan for the purpose of effecting a consolidation, merger, or sale of
all or substantially all of its assets;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give written notice,
by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered holder hereof, of the
date on which (a) the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be
taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or (b) such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, 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 shares of record shall
participate in such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or shall be
entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property deliverable
upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such written notice
shall be given at least 30 days prior to the action in question and not less
than 30 days prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's
transfer books are closed in respect thereto.
5.10. Registration and Listing. If any shares required to be reserved
for purposes of conversions of the Note hereunder require registration with or
approval of any governmental authority under any federal (other than the
Securities Act of 1933 or similar federal statute then in force) or state law,
or listing on any national securities exchange, before such shares may be issued
upon conversion, the Company will, at its expense, as expeditiously as possible
cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, or listed on the relevant
national securities exchange, as the case may be.
5.11. Automatic Conversion.
5.11.1. Events Causing Conversion. Immediately (A) upon the
closing of a Qualified Public Offering, as hereinafter defined, but
subject to such closing, or (B) upon the closing of a Qualified Sale of
the Company, but subject to such closing, this Note shall be converted
automatically into the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Note is then convertible pursuant to Section 5.1 as of the closing and
consummation of such Qualified Public Offering or the date of the event
constituting the Qualified Sale of the Company, without any further
action by the holder of the Note and whether or not the Note is
surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.
5.11.2. Definitions.
(a) A "Qualified Public Offering" shall mean an
underwritten public offering on a firm commitment basis

underwriters discounts and commissions and before

of the Company which provides for minimum consideration
payable with respect to each share of Common Stock (on a

5.11.1 or 5.11.3, the holder of the Note shall, upon notice from the
Company, surrender the Note at the office of the Corporation or its
transfer agent for the Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued
and delivered to such holder a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note so surrendered was
11
convertible on the date on which the conversion occurred. The Company
shall not be obligated to issue such certificates unless the Note is
either delivered to the Company or any such transfer agent or the
holder notifies the Company that the Note has been lost, stolen or
destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to
indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith.
6. Event of Default. In case an Event of Default, as defined in the
Purchase Agreement, shall have occurred and be continuing, the unpaid principal
of the Note and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon may be declared, and
upon such declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the
effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Purchase Agreement and the
Collateral Agreements.

authorized attorney surrender the Note for exchange at the office of the
Company, and at the expense of the Company receive in exchange therefor a new
Note in the same aggregate principal amount as the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Note so surrendered and bearing interest at the same annual rate
as the Note so surrendered, each such new Note to be dated as of the date to
which interest has been paid on the Note so surrendered and to be in such
principal amount and, subject to the restrictions on transfer contained in the
Purchase Agreement, payable to such person or persons, or order, as such holder
may designate in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of any new Note in a name other than that of the
holder of the Note surrendered in exchange therefor. Five days prior written
notice of the holder's intention to make such exchange shall be given to the
Company.
8.2. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and (in case of loss,
theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to
the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender
and cancellation of this Note, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Note of like tenor in lieu of this Note. Any Note made and delivered in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be dated as of the
date to which interest has been paid on this Note.
9. Amendments and Waivers. The holders of more than 80% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and the Company may from
time to time enter into agreements for the purpose of amending or waiving any
covenant, agreement or condition of the Notes or changing in any manner the

11. Severability. Should any part but not the whole of this Note for any
reason be declared invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of any
remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in force and effect as
if this Note had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and
it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have
executed the remaining portion of this Note without including therein any such
part which may, for any reason, be hereafter declared invalid.
12. Captions. The descriptive headings of the various Sections or parts of
this Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or

W I T N E S S E T H T H A T:
-----------------------------
In order to induce the Lenders to make financial accommodations to the
Borrower, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower and the Subordinated
Lender hereby agree with the Lenders that, so long as any Senior Indebtedness
(as hereinafter defined) is outstanding or committed to be advanced, each such
party will comply with such of the following provisions as are applicable to it:
1. Certain Definitions.
1.1 Senior Indebtedness. The term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean:
(a) any and all loans, advances, extensions of credit to, and all
other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, direct or contingent, of the Borrower now or hereafter
owing to the Lenders outstanding from time to time, whether pursuant to:
(i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of
April ____, 2003, by and between the Borrower and the Lenders, as the same
may be amended, restated, supplemented, renewed, replaced or extended from
time to time (the "Purchase Agreement");
(ii) those certain Convertible Promissory Notes dated April
___, 2003, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, renewed,
replaced or extended from time to time (the "Notes"), issued by the
Borrower to the Lenders from time to time in the original aggregate
principal amount of up to $16,000,000.00, or
(iii) otherwise, including, without limitation, any and all
indebtedness to the Lenders in respect of any and all future loans or
advances or extensions of credit made to the Borrower by the Lenders, or
any of them, prior to,
during or following any proceeding in respect of any Reorganization
(as defined in Section 3.2 hereof); and
(b) all interest thereon and all fees, expenses and other amounts
(including costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees) at any time
owing to the Lenders, whether arising in connection with the Purchase
Agreement, the Notes or such other indebtedness (regardless of the extent
to which the Purchase Agreement, the Notes or such other indebtedness is
enforceable against the Borrower and regardless of the extent to which such
amounts are allowed as claims against the Borrower in any Reorganization,
and including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any
Reorganization and any other interest that would have accrued thereon but
for the commencement of such Reorganization).
All Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
without notice thereof being given to the Subordinated Lender.
1.2 Subordinated Indebtedness. The term "Subordinated Indebtedness" shall
mean all existing and hereafter arising indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower, to the Subordinated Lender, whether direct or
contingent, and all claims, rights, causes of action, judgments and decrees in

Settlement Agreement dated October 29, 2001 between Borrower, as debtor,
and Force, as creditor (the "Force Settlement Agreement"); (b) Settlement
Agreement dated November 7, 2001 between Borrower, as debtor, and Sanmina,
as creditor (the "Sanmina Settlement Agreement"), (c) Settlement Agreement
dated November 14, 2001 between Borrower, as debtor, and Brooktrout, as
creditor (the "Brooktrout Settlement Agreement") and together with the
Force Settlement Agreement and the Sanmina Settlement Agreement, the
"Settlement Agreements"), which Settlement Agreements evidence obligations
of Borrower to Subordinated Lender in an amount not to exceed in the
aggregate the sum of $4,500,000 (the "Subordinated Settlement Agreements");
and
(ii) the obligations of each party (other than the Subordinated
Lender) to, under or in respect of any agreement or instrument securing any
of the Borrower's obligations to the Subordinated Lender under the
Subordinated Settlement Agreements (the "Subordinated Security Documents")
(the Subordinated Settlement Agreement and the Subordinated Security
Documents and any other agreement evidencing or relating to Subordinated
Indebtedness being hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Subordinated Agreements").
2. Representations and Warranties. The Subordinated Lender and the
Borrower each hereby, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the
Lenders that: (a) At the date hereof, the total outstanding and unpaid
Subordinated Indebtedness owing by the Companies to the Subordinated Lender
pursuant to the Subordinated Agreements is $[1,179,000]; (b) There is no default
in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness; (c) The Subordinated Lender is the
holder of the Subordinated Agreements free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances, and
-2-
the Subordinated Lender is not subject to any contractual limitation or
restriction which would impair in any way its ability to execute or perform its
obligations under this Agreement; and (d) True, accurate and complete copies of
the Subordinated Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3. Terms of Subordination.
3.1 Permitted Payments of Subordinated Indebtedness. The Borrower may,
from time to time, pay or cause to be paid to the Subordinated Lender, and the
Subordinated Lender may accept and retain, regularly scheduled payments of
principal and interest as and at the times when due and payable under the
Subordinated Settlement Agreements, as originally executed and delivered.
3.2 The Subordinated Lender's Junior Security. The Subordinated Lender
hereby confirms that, regardless of the relative times and method of attachment
or perfection thereof (or any failure to perfect) or the order of filing of
financing statements, mortgages or other security agreements or documents, or
anything in the Subordinated Agreements or this Agreement to the contrary, the
security interests and liens granted or to be granted from time to time to
secure the Senior Indebtedness, shall in all respects be first and senior
security interests and liens, superior to any security interests and liens
granted or to be granted to the Subordinated Lender in assets of, or ownership
interests in, the Borrower or any other person pursuant to the Subordinated
Agreements or otherwise, it being the express intention of the parties that,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all liens and
security interests granted to the Lenders from time to time shall be prior and
superior to any liens or security interests granted to the Subordinated Lender.
4. Limit on Right of Action. (a) The Subordinated Lender agrees for the
benefit of the Lenders and all future holders of the Senior Indebtedness that so
long as the Senior Indebtedness remains outstanding or committed to be advanced,
the Subordinated Lender will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of the Lenders, take any action to exercise any of its remedies
in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any guarantee of payment thereof,
to initiate any Reorganization of, or litigation against, the Borrower or any
guarantor of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or to foreclose or otherwise realize
on any security given by the Borrower or any other person to secure the
Subordinated Indebtedness.
(b) The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 are solely for the purpose
of defining the relative rights of the Lenders, on the one hand, and the
Subordinated Lender, on the other, and shall not otherwise limit or affect any
rights which the Subordinated Lender may have against the Borrower under the
terms of the Subordinated Agreements.
5. Agreement to Hold in Trust. If the Subordinated Lender shall receive
any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness in violation of this
Agreement, it shall hold such payment in trust for the benefit of the Lenders
and, promptly upon discovery or notice of such violation, pay it over to the
Lenders for application in payment of the Senior Indebtedness.
-3-
6. Further Assurances. The Borrower and the Subordinated Lender covenant
to execute and deliver to the Lenders such further instruments and documents and

Dear Xx. Xxxxxxx and Xx. Xxxxx:
This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Agreement. We have
acted as counsel to AIRNET in connection with the Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby. Where a term that is defined in the Agreement is used in

differently defined herein.
(1) In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined:

(2) In reaching the opinions set forth below, we have assumed, and to our
knowledge there are no facts inconsistent with, the following:
(A) Each of the parties thereto (other than AIRNET) has duly and
validly executed and delivered each instrument, document, and
agreement executed in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement and Exhibits thereto to which such
party is a signatory, and such party's obligations set forth
therein are its legal, valid, and binding obligations,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms;

on behalf of any such party (other than AIRNET) is duly
authorized to do so;
(C) Each natural person executing any such instrument, document, or

conform to the original document, all signatures on all documents
submitted to us for examination are genuine, and all public
records reviewed are accurate and complete;
(3) In rendering our opinions, whenever our opinion herein regarding the
existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on our
knowledge or awareness, our opinion is intended to signify that during
the course of our representation of AIRNET no information has come to
our attention which would give us actual knowledge of the existence or
absence of such facts. We have not undertaken any independent
investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts and
no inference of further knowledge should be drawn from our
representation of AIRNET. When an opinion or other statement set forth
herein is given to our knowledge, with reference to matters of which
we are aware or that are known to us, or with a similar qualification,
the relevant knowledge or awareness is limited solely to the actual
knowledge of the individual lawyers who are currently partners or

completeness of the representations and warranties made by AIRNET in
the Agreement and upon certifications executed by the Officers and
Directors of AIRNET, including the representations and certifications
of the President and Chief Executive Officer of AIRNET set forth in
the Officer's Certificate attached as Exhibit A hereto. In addition,
we have obtained from public officials and from officers of AIRNET
such other certificates and assurances, and we have examined such
corporate records, other documents and questions of law, as we have
considered necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.
(4) Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and
qualifications set forth herein, it is our opinion that:
(A) AIRNET has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Agreement and Exhibits
thereto to which AIRNET is a party. AIRNET has taken all
necessary action to duly authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of the Agreement and Exhibits thereto to which AIRNET
is a party.
(B) AIRNET has duly executed and delivered the Agreement and Exhibits
thereto to which AIRNET is a party. The Agreement and Exhibits
thereto, including, but not limited to, the Notes to be issued by
AIRNET pursuant to the Agreement, to which AIRNET is a party
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of AIRNET,
enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms.
(C) To our knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 2.18 to the
Agreement, (i) there are no suits, actions, arbitration
proceedings or governmental proceedings or investigations pending
or threatened against AIRNET, and (ii) no suits, actions or
proceedings have been instituted prior to the date hereof against
AIRNET before any court or governmental body or threatened by any
public authority seeking to enjoin or invalidate the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement or Exhibits thereto.
(D) The execution and delivery of the Agreement by AIRNET and the
execution and delivery of each of the Exhibits thereto to which
AIRNET is a party, and the performance by AIRNET of its
obligations thereunder, do not conflict with or result in any
breach or violation of (i) any provision of any existing law or
regulation applicable to AIRNET, (ii) to our knowledge, any
order, judgment, award, decree of any court, arbitrator or
governmental authority applicable to AIRNET, (iii) the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of AIRNET, or (iv) subject
to AIRNET having obtained any consents or approvals contemplated
by the Agreement and the Exhibits thereto or any Material
Contract which AIRNET is a party or

to which AIRNET is a party or is bound, or constitute a default
thereunder or give rise to any right of acceleration, termination
or cancellation thereunder, except as disclosed in the Agreement
and the Scheduled thereto.
(E) The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by
AIRNET and the execution, delivery and performance of each of the
Exhibits thereto to which AIRNET is a party do not require the
consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any governmental authority (other than any
such consents or approvals which have been obtained or expressly
waived by TECORE and/or SCP) other than the following: (i)
filings pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act; (ii)
required registration, qualification or filings under any state
securities or "Blue Sky" laws or regulations thereunder; (iii)
any filings contemplated under the Agreement and Exhibits thereto
relating to the security interest granted by AIRNET to TECORE and

secure payment of the Notes; (iv) filings on Form 8-K and other
periodic filings to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission when due after the closing of the transactions
contemplated under the Agreement and Exhibits thereto; and (v)
filings with Nasdaq as required to add shares of AIRNET capital
stock to its listed shares, as contemplated under the Agreement
and Exhibits thereto.
(F) AIRNET is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all
requisite power and authority to conduct its business in the
manner in which it is presently being conducted and to own,
operate and lease its properties. AIRNET is duly qualified or
licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each
jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by
it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification or licensing necessary, except in such
jurisdictions where the failure to be so duly qualified, licensed
and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, will not
have a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, Schedule 2.1 to
the Agreement lists each jurisdiction in which AIRNET is
qualified to do business.
(G) The authorized capital stock of AIRNET consists of four hundred
million, nine hundred fifty five thousand, four hundred and
fourteen (400,955,414) shares consisting of two classes of

("Common Stock") and nine hundred fifty five thousand, four
hundred and fourteen (955,414) shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). There is authorized and
designated a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), consisting of 955,414
shares. There are the following shares of capital stock issued
and outstanding: 23,851,177 shares of Common Stock, and 955,414
shares of Series B Preferred Stock (convertible into
approximately 9,554,140 shares of Common Stock). In addition,
there are options for [2,399,539][2,269,599] shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and options for Common Stock have
been duly authorized, and, assuming receipt by AIRNET of full
payment of the applicable purchase price for such securities, are
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and not subject to
any preemptive or similar rights. To the best of our knowledge,
except for the transactions contemplated under the Agreement,
except for the options issuable under AIRNET's Stock Option Plan,
as amended, and except as set forth above, there are no other
options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments or agreements of
any character to which AIRNET is a party obligating AIRNET to
issue additional shares of capital stock or any rights to
purchase capital stock.
(5) The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:
(A) In rendering our opinions regarding AIRNET's good standing, we
have relied exclusively upon the Certificates of Good Standing.
(B) Our opinions expressed herein relate only to the laws of the
State of Florida, the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and the federal laws of the United States.
(C) Our opinions as to the enforceability of any of the Agreement or
the Exhibits thereto in accordance with their terms is limited by
(a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
equitable subordination, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement,
avoidance and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally, and (b) the effect of general
principles of equity and the availability of equitable remedies
(regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity) and by limitations on the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

law limiting or rendering

Page 6
ineffective obligations to indemnify or the waiver or release of
rights or defenses.
(E) Certain rights, remedies, forfeitures, penalties, waivers or
elections contained in the Agreement and Exhibits thereto may be
rendered ineffective or limited by applicable laws or judicial
decisions governing such provisions, but such laws and judicial
decisions do not, in our opinion, make the Agreement and Exhibits
thereto inadequate for the substantive realization of the benefit
intended to be provided thereby.
(F) The opinions expressed herein are rendered to you as of the date
hereof and with respect to such laws in effect as of the date
hereof, and we assume no obligation to supplement this opinion in
the event of any change in applicable law or in the facts upon
which any of the opinions herein are based. The opinions
expressed in this letter are limited to the matters set forth in
this letter, and no other opinions should be inferred beyond the
matters expressly stated.
(G) In connection with our opinion expressed in paragraph 4(c)
herein, we advise you that we have not conducted a search of the
dockets of all courts or other governmental entities or
undertaken a judgment search for judgments against AIRNET in all
jurisdictions, where there could exist evidence of any
litigation, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity or in
arbitration pending or threatened against AIRNET.
(H) The opinions expressed in this letter are solely for your use and
benefit and may not be relied on by any other person without our
prior written approval. This opinion cannot be quoted or referred
to without the prior written consent of the undersigned, except
in a list of closing documents with respect to the transactions
covered hereby or in the Exhibits to the Agreement, or as may be
required by any court or governmental or regulatory authority.
Very truly yours,
Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, LLP

maintain such policy as long as Employee remains in the employ of the Company.
Employee shall have the right, in his sole discretion, to designate the
beneficiaries under the term life insurance policy purchased by under this
Section 2.3.
2.4 STOCK OPTIONS. Provided the $16,000,000 Secured Convertible Note Financing
by SCP Private Equity Partners II, LP ("SCP") and TECORE, Inc. ("Tecore") is
closed, the Company shall upon such closing grant to Employee options to
purchase 10,883,106 shares of common stock under the Company's stock option plan
(the "Plan") at an exercise price of $0.01 per share with vesting over two
years. In the event the Company is permitted to grant additional stock options
under the Plan in accordance with Section 9.11 (b) and 9.11 (c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement dated June __, 2003 between the Company and SCP
Private Equity Partners II, LP and TECORE, Inc (the "Purchase Agreement"), then
the Company shall promptly grant to Employee, if he is still employed by the
Company at such time, one half of the amount of new stock options the Company is
permitted to grant to employees under such Sections 9.11 (b) and (c) of the
Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 4. SEVERANCE; NON-COMPETE AND NON-SOLICITATION.
4.1 SEVERANCE AMOUNT. Upon a Termination Event or Sale of the Company
Termination Event, the Company shall pay the Employee an amount (the "Severance
Payment") equal to twelve (12) months salary plus benefits in a lump sum within
three (3) days from the date of the Termination Event or Sale of Company
Termination Event, based on the greater of the base salary of Employee as of the
date of this Agreement or the then current base salary of Employee as of the
effective date of termination. If the same event meets the definition of both a
Termination Event and Sale of the Company Termination Event, Employee shall be
entitled to receive only one Severance Payment for such event. In addition, upon
a Termination Event or Sale of the Company Termination Event, all of Employee's
unvested stock options to purchase Company common stock will accelerate and be
vested upon either of such events, in accordance with the Amendment to Incentive
Stock Option Agreement between Employee and the Company.
4.2 PAYMENT MITIGATION. The Severance Payment payable under this Agreement shall
be paid by the Company to the Employee in a lump sum and shall be deemed fully
earned by Employee, subject to withholding; provided that the net amount after
withholding shall be immediately deposited in escrow ("ESCROW DEPOSIT") with a
mutually acceptable third party ("ESCROW AGENT"). Subject to the mitigation
provisions of this Section 4.2, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Employee out
of escrow one twelfth of the total amount originally deposited in escrow on each
month commencing 30 days from the Termination Event or Sale of Company
Termination Event. Employee agrees that in the event he earns any salary,
consulting fees, signing bonuses, or other compensation income from a party
other than the Company during this twelve (12) month period ("MITIGATION
PERIOD"), that the Company shall be entitled to reduce its Severance Payment
obligation, net of withholding, by the amount of such payments received by
Employee net of withholding ("OTHER NET COMPENSATION") and that Employee will
promptly notify the Company and the Escrow Agent of his receipt of Other Net
Compensation. If the Company and the Escrow Agent receive such notice or
otherwise verify that Employee has received Other Net Compensation during the
Mitigation Period, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company from the Escrow
Deposit an amount equal to the Other Net Compensation received by Employee
during the Mitigation Period. Once disbursed by the Escrow Agent, Employee shall
be under no obligation to reimburse the Company any of those disbursed amounts
unless Employee has failed to disclose the receipt of any Other Net Compensation
during the Mitigation Period. Any scheduled monthly disbursements due from the
Escrow Agent shall be offset and reduced by the amount of Other Net Compensation
received by Employee during the Mitigation Period. The Employee and Company will
enter into a suitable escrow agreement with the Escrow Agent to carry out the
provisions of this Section 4.2. Employee is under no duty to seek employment or
other sources of compensation income during the Mitigation Period.
4.3 ADDITIONAL SEVERANCE BENEFITS. The Severance Payment described in this
Section 4 does not include nor replace any other benefits payable to or received
by the Employee upon a Sale of the Company as described in Section 5.
4.4 NON-COMPETITION/NON-SOLICITATION. In the event that Employee resigns without
Good Reason or is terminated for Cause, for a period of twelve months (the
"TERM") from the date of that resignation/termination Employee agrees that
Employee will not, singly, jointly, or as a partner, member, employee, agent,
officer, director, stockholder (except as a holder of not more than two percent
of the outstanding stock of any company listed on a national securities
exchange, or actively traded in a national over-the-counter market), equity
holder, lender, consultant, independent contractor, or joint venturer of any
other person, or in any other capacity, directly or beneficially: (i) own,
manage, operate, join, control, or participate in the ownership, management,
operation or control of, or permit the use of his name by, or work for, or
provide consulting, financial or other assistance to, or be connected in any
manner with, a Competing Business anywhere in the Protected Territory during the
Term; (ii) employ, retain or engage (as an employee, consultant
-5-
or independent contractor), or induce or attempt to induce to be employed,
retained or engaged, any Person who is or was an employee of the Company during
the Term; (iii) induce or attempt to induce any Person who, on the date hereof
or at any time hereafter during the Term, is an employee of the Company to
terminate his or her relationship with the Company; or (iv) induce or attempt to
induce any Person which is a customer of the Company, or which otherwise is a
contracting party with the Company, as of the date hereof or at any time
hereafter during the Term to terminate any written or oral agreement or
understanding with the Company.
SECTION 5. SALE OF NOTES AND ACQUISITION BONUS; GROSS-UP AMOUNT.
5.1 SALE OF NOTES AND ACQUISITION BONUS
(a) The Company has adopted an Amended and Restated the Company Bonus Program,
adopted as of the date hereof (the "BONUS PROGRAM"). The Company hereby agrees
that Employee shall be entitled to receive from the moneys allocated to the
Bonus Program tied to the sale of Convertible Notes ("CNBP") a payment equal to
five percent (5%) of the Sale of Note Proceeds. In addition, the Company hereby
agrees that Employee shall be entitled to receive from the moneys allocated to
the Management and Employee Bonus Pool (the "MBP") a payment equal to five
percent (5%) of the Net Proceeds to Securityholders.
Employee hereby acknowledges that the percentage of Sale of Note Proceeds and
percentage of Net Proceeds to Securityholders that he receives under this
paragraph plus any amounts under Section 5.2 is the total amount to be paid to
Employee under the Bonus Program and Section 5.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all amounts payable hereunder to Employee from MBP shall be reduced by an amount
equal to the value of the spread between the option exercise price of the
Employee's options and the per share price to be distributed to the common
shareholders in connection with the Sale of the Company for those options held
by Employee that are "in-the-money". By way of illustration, if the Acquisition
Price is $21,000,000 and the Net Proceeds to Common Stockholders is $19,000,000,
then the 5% payable to Employee would be applied to the entire $19,000,000
amount. The Employee would receive $950,000 as an acquisition bonus, less an
In-The-Money Option amount as calculated in Section 3 of the Bonus Program
(provided the shares underlying the Employee's In-the-Money Options are
purchased by the acquiring party in connection with the Sale of the Company),
plus the gross-up amount specified in Section 5.2.
(b) Should a Current Securityholder Acquiring Party be the purchaser in a Sale
of the Company and that party does not receive, or waives its right to receive,
all or any portion of the purchase price otherwise payable to Securityholders,
then and only in that event, the Net Sales Proceeds to Securityholders shall
include the value of the shares of Company stock held by such Current
Securityholder Acquiring Party based on the same value per share that will be
paid or distributed to Securityholders owning the same class or series of
shares, Convertible Notes or other convertible securities (the " Value
Adjustment"). The payment of bonuses applicable to this Value Adjustment is an
obligation of the Company and shall not reduce the amount of Net Proceeds to
Securityholders otherwise payable to stockholders other than the Employee and
other participants in the Bonus Pool.
5.2 GROSS-UP AMOUNT. The Company shall provide an additional payment to the
Employee ("GROSS-UP PAYMENT") to cover all applicable excise taxes payable by
the Employee upon the distribution of any Bonus Program proceeds and the value
of the Employee's stock options subject to such excise taxes. The Gross-Up
Payment shall be payable from the consideration allocated to the CNBP and/or the
MBP. The Company and Employee hereby agree, notwithstanding the foregoing that
the total amount paid to Employee under Section 5, including the Gross-Up
Payment, shall not exceed six and one quarter percent (6.25%) of the Sale of
Note Proceeds and Net Proceeds to Securityholders and the value of the
Employee's stock options subject to excise taxes.

5.3 SEVERANCE BENEFITS. The payments under this Section 5 do not include or
replace any Severance Payment that may be payable to or received by the Employee
upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Sale of the Company Termination
Event, as described in Section 4.

day after a Sale of the Company has occurred; or (iii) the fourth (4th)
anniversary of this Agreement. The obligations of Employee under Section 4.2 and
4.4 will survive termination of this Agreement.

such invalid provision(s) so as to carry out the intent of this Agreement
enforceable in all respects as so modified.

accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to agreements to be
performed in the State of Florida. Venue for any litigation stemming from the
construction and operation of this Agreement shall be in Brevard County,
Florida.
SECTION 11. ASSIGNABILITY.
This Agreement may not be assigned by either party, in whole or in part, without
the prior written consent of the party to be charged; provided, however, that
such prior written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 12. BINDING EFFECT.
