registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in
this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and
that the Company's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Investors'
representations set forth herein. Such Investor realizes that the basis for the
exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the
Investor has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Series K Preferred Stock,

-10-

condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the
Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable
effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished

does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in
Section 2 of this Agreement.

investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies in a
similar stage of development to the Company and acknowledges that such Investor
is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of such Investor's
investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business

investment in the Series K Preferred Stock. If other than an individual, such
Investor has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Series K
Preferred Stock.
3.6 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an "accredited investor" as
defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.7 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Series K
Preferred Stock, the Warrants, and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exercise thereof (as the case may be) may not be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or exemption
therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement
covering such securities or an available exemption from registration under the
Securities Act, such securities must be held indefinitely. In particular, such
Investor is aware that such securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the conditions of that rule

EXHIBIT A
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE,
PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL OR OTHER SPECIAL
RIGHTS OF THE SERIES K CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
BY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF
ACCESS RADIOLOGY CORPORATION
Under Section 151 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law
I, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, President of ACCESS Radiology Corporation, a
corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), in accordance with
the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:
That, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
Certificate of Incorporation, said Board of Directors adopted a resolution dated
July 10, 1998, providing for the authorization, designation and issuance of up
to 1,785,800 shares of Series K Convertible Preferred Stock, which resolution is
as follows:
RESOLVED: That, pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, there be and hereby is authorized
and created a series of Preferred Stock, hereby designated as the Series K
Preferred Stock, to consist of 1,785,800 shares, with a par value of $.01 per
share, and that the designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of the Series K Preferred Stock and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, be as hereby set forth. The
Series K Preferred Stock is hereby designated as "Series Preferred", as that
term is defined in the Certificate of Incorporation. Capitalized terms used in
this Certificate and not otherwise defined have the meanings specified in the
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time.
Series K Preferred Stock.
------------------------
1. Number of Shares. The series of Preferred Stock designated and known as
----------------
"Series K Preferred Stock" shall consist of 1,785,800 shares.
2. Dividend Rights. Whenever the Company declares a dividend on its Common
----------------
Stock, the holders of Series K Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive
dividends in an amount equal per share
(on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis) to the amount paid or set aside
for each share of Common Stock. The provisions of this Section 2 will not apply
to a dividend payable as Common Stock.
3. Voting Rights.
--------------
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the Series K
Preferred Stock will be voted together with the other Series Preferred and the
Series J Preferred equally with the shares of Common Stock of the Company, and
not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the
Company, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common Stock.
In either case, each holder of shares of Series K Preferred Stock will be
entitled to such number votes as is equal to the whole number of shares of
Common Stock into which such holder's aggregate number of shares of Series K
Preferred Stock are convertible pursuant to Section 5 immediately after the
close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective
date of such written consent
(b) In addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the
vote or written consent of the holders of 2/3 of the outstanding Series J
Preferred Stock and the outstanding Series K Preferred Stock, voting together as
a single class on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis, will be necessary
for effecting or validating the creation or authorization of any additional
class or series of shares of stock unless the same ranks junior to, or pari
passu with, the Series K Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets on the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or an increase in the
authorized amount of any additional class or series of shares of stock unless
the same ranks junior to, or pari passu with, the Series K Preferred Stock as to
the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, or creation or authorization of any obligation or security convertible
into shares of any class or series of stock unless the same ranks junior to, or
pari passu with, the Series K Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets
on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether any such
creation, authorization or increase will be by means of amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise. Any
action requiring consent pursuant to this clause 3(b) is referred to herein as a
"3(b) Consent Event."
(c) In addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the
vote or written consent of the holders of 2/3 of the outstanding Series K
Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted to
Common Stock basis, will be necessary for effecting or validating the following
actions:
(i) Any 3(b) Consent Event, if, and only if, all actions required to
be taken under the terms of the Series J Preferred Stock to implement such 3(b)
Consent Event have not been taken or consented to by the requisite holders of
the outstanding Series J Preferred Stock prior to or concurrently with the
consent obtained with respect to such 3(b) Consent Event pursuant to clause
(3)(b);
-2-
(ii) Except for any 3(b) Consent Event, any amendment, alteration or
repeal of the Certificate of Incorporation if the effect would be materially
detrimental or adverse in any manner with respect to the rights of the holders
of the Series K Preferred Stock;
(iii) Any redemption or other acquisition of any shares of Series K
Preferred Stock except pursuant to a purchase offer made pro rata to all holders
of the shares of Series K Preferred Stock on the basis of the aggregate number
of outstanding shares of such Series Preferred then held by each such holder; or
(iv) Any increase or decrease (other than by conversion) in the
authorized number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock.
(d) In addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law,
the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series Preferred (including the Series K Preferred Stock) and Series J
Preferred, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted to Common
stock basis, will be necessary for effecting or validating the following
actions:
(i) Any redemption, repurchase, payment of dividends or other
distribution with respect to Preferred Stock or Common Stock, except for
acquisitions of Preferred Stock or Common Stock by the Company pursuant to and
in compliance with agreements that permit the Company to repurchase such shares
upon termination of services to the company;
(ii) Any agreement by the Company or its stockholders regarding an
Asset Transfer or Acquisition (each as defined in Section 4(d));
(iii) Any amendment, modification or waiver of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company relative to the rights, preferences,
privileges, restrictions or other matters relating to any series of Preferred
Stock;
(iv) Any voluntary dissolution or liquidation of the Company; or
(v) Any issuance of equity securities as compensation to employees,
officers, directors or consultants of the Company other than under the Option
Plan (as defined in Section 5(j)(v)).
4. Liquidation Preference.
-----------------------
(a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, with respect to which the Total Company
Valuation (as defined below) is less than $26,000,000, before any distribution
or payment is made to the holders of Common Stock, but after the payment of the
full liquidation preference of (i) the Series J Preferred and (ii) any Senior
Preferred (as defined below), in each case, as set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation, the holders of Series K Preferred Stock will be entitled to be
paid out of the assets of the Company, for each
-3-
share of Series K Preferred Stock held by them, an amount per share of Series K
Preferred Stock equal to the Series K Original Issue Price (as defined below and
as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and
the like with respect to the Series K Preferred). Such payment shall be made on
a pari passu basis with the holders of the other Series Preferred (and any other
----------
series of Preferred Stock designated by the Board of Directors as sharing with
the Series Preferred an a pari passu basis in the event of a liquidation). Upon
payment in full of the liquidation preference specified in this Section 4(a),
each share of the Series K Preferred Stock shall, automatically and without
further action, be converted into Common Stock at the then effective Conversion
Rate (as defined in Section 5(a)), and the Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion shall participate in the proceeds of the liquidation of the Company
as provided in Section 4(c). Any series of Preferred Stock which is designated
as senior to the Series K Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation
preferences and the creation or authorization of which was consented to in
accordance with clause 3(b) and, if applicable, clause 3(c)(i) is referred to
herein as "Senior Preferred."
(b) If the assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series K
Preferred Stock, the other Series Preferred (and any other series of Preferred
Stock designated by the Board of Directors as sharing with the Series Preferred
on a pari passu basis in the event of a liquidation) are insufficient to permit
payment in full to such holders of the amounts distributable pursuant to the
Certificate of Incorporation, then such assets will be distributed ratably among
such holders of outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock, shares of other
Series Preferred, and any other series of Preferred Stock designated by the
Board of Directors as sharing with the Series Preferred on a pari passu basis
in the event of a liquidation.
(c) After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series K
Preferred Stock and the other Series Preferred, and any liquidation preference
of the Series J Preferred pursuant to Section 4.3(d)(1) of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the remaining assets of the Company legally
available for distribution, if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders
of the Common Stock and Series J Preferred on an as-if-converted to Common Stock
basis.
(d) The following definitions will apply under this Section 4:
(i) a "liquidation" of the Company will include (without limitation):
(A) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any
other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate
reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger or reorganization own 50% or less of the Company's
voting power immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization, or
any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a
party in which 50% or more of the Company's voting power is transferred unless
within ten days after receipt of notice that the event will occur, holders of a
majority of the outstanding Series Preferred (including the Series K Preferred
Stock), voting together as a single class on an as-if-converted to Common Stock
basis, and holders of a majority of the outstanding Series J Preferred elect in
writing not to treat such event as a liquidation of the Company (an
"Acquisition"); or
-4-
(B) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company (an "Asset Transfer").
(ii) "Total Company Valuation" means the aggregate Fair Market Value
of the consideration received or to be received by all holders of capital stock
of the Company in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company
(including consideration received or to be received through the operation of
this Section 4). In the event of an Acquisition involving the transfer of less
than all of the capital stock of the Company, the Total Company Valuation will
be computed by multiplying the Fair Market Value of the consideration received
or to be received by all holders of capital stock of the Company in such
transaction by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of shares
of capital stock of the Company then outstanding (on an as-if-converted to
Common Stock basis and assuming the exercise of all outstanding stock options
and warrants) and the denominator of which is the number of shares of the
Company's capital stock (on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis and
assuming the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants) actually
transferred.
(iii) "Fair Market Value" means (A) with respect to consideration
consisting of cash, the amount of such cash, (B) with respect to securities
that are publicly traded, the average Current Market Price of such securities
over the 20 consecutive trading days ending with and including the date prior to
the date as of which Fair Market Value is to be determined, and (C) with respect
to any other property, the value determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(iv) "Current Market Price" of a security means, for any day, the
last reported sale price, or if no sale takes place on such day, the average of
the reported closing bid and asked prices, in either case as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if such security is not listed or
admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal national
securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading or,
if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the
Nasdaq National Market or, if such security is not quoted on the Nasdaq National
Market, as reported by Nasdaq in the over the counter market or, if not reported
by Nasdaq, the average of the bid and asked prices as furnished by any New York
Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in such security selected
for the purpose by the Company's Board of Directors or, if there is no such
firm, as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors.
(v) "Series K Original Issue Price" means, with respect to each
share of Series K Preferred, the Series K Purchase Price (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of July 28, 1998 among the Company and
the Investors named therein).
5. Conversion Rights of Series K Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series K
----------------------------------------------
Preferred Stock will have the following rights with respect to the conversion of
the Series K Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock:
-5-
(a) Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate in effect at any time for
----------------
conversion of the Series K Preferred will be the quotient obtained by dividing
the Series K Original Issue Price by Series K Conversion Price (as defined
below). The conversion price for the Series K Preferred Stock (the "Series K
Conversion Price") will initially be the Series K Original Issue Price. The
Series K Conversion Price will be adjusted from time to time in accordance with
this Section 5. All references to the Series K Conversion Price herein mean the
Series K Conversion Price as so adjusted. The number of shares of Common Stock
to which a holder of Series K Preferred Stock will be entitled upon conversion
will be the product obtained by multiplying the Series K Conversion Rate then
in effect by the number of shares of Series K Preferred Stock being converted.
(b) Optional Conversion.
--------------------
(i) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section
5(b), any shares of Series K Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder,
be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock.
(ii) Each holder of Series K Preferred Stock who desires to convert
the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5(b) will
surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office
of the Company or any transfer agent for the Series K Preferred Stock, and will
give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to
convert the same. Such notice will state the number of shares of Series K
Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Company will promptly issue and
deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and will
promptly pay in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally
available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock's fair market value
determined by the Board of Directors as of the date of such conversion), any
declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series K Preferred Stock being
converted. Such conversion will be deemed to have been made at the close of
business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the
shares of Series K Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion will be treated
for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such
date.
(c) Automatic Conversion.
---------------------
(i) Each share of Series K Preferred Stock will automatically be
converted into shares of Common Stock (A) at any time upon either of (1) the
affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares
of the Series K Preferred Stock and the then-outstanding shares of Series J
Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted to
Common Stock basis; provided, however, that the effectiveness of such election
shall be subject to the prior or concurrent conversion of (or irrevocable
election to convert) the Series J Preferred Stock pursuant to Section
4.3(f)(3)(A) of the Certificate of Incorporation or (2) the affirmative election
of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Series K
Preferred Stock, voting together
-6-
as a single class on an as-if converted Common Stock basis, or (B) immediately
upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Company in
which (1) the per share price to the public is at least $3.00 and (2) the
aggregate cash proceeds to the Company (after deduction of underwriters'
commissions and expenses) are at least $15,000,000 (a "Qualified IPO").
(ii) Upon the first occurrence of an event specified in Section
5(c)(i), the outstanding shares of Series K Preferred Stock will be converted
automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and
whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the
Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company will not be
obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series K
Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as
provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that
such certificates have 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 with such certificates (and, if reasonably requested by the
Company, obtains a bond therefor). Upon the occurrence of such automatic
conversion of the Series K Preferred Stock, the holders of Series K Preferred
Stock will surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of
the company or any transfer agent for the Series K Preferred Stock. Thereupon,
there will be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in
its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares
of Series K Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which
such automatic conversion occurred, and declared and unpaid dividends will be
paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b)(ii).
(d) Adjustment For Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any
---------------------------------------------
time from time to time after the date on which this Certificate of Designation
is filed (the "Filing Date") effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common
Stock without a corresponding subdivision of the Preferred Stock, the Series K
Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision will be
proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company at any time or from time
to time after the Filing Date combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of the
Preferred Stock, the Series K Conversion Price in effect immediately before the
combination will be in proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this
Section 5(d) will become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective; provided that if the initial
Series K Conversion Price has not yet been determined as of such date, then such
adjustment shall be made on the first day that the Series K Conversion Price may
be determined.
(e) Adjustment For Common Stock Dividends And Distributions. If the
--------------------------------------------------------
Company at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date makes a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such
event the Series K Conversion Price that is then in effect will decreased as of
the time of such issuance by multiplying the Series K Conversion Price
-7-
then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
such issuance, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance; provided that if the initial Series K Conversion Price has not yet
been determined as of date of such issuance, then such adjustment shall be made
on the first day that the Series K Conversion Price may be determined.
(f) Adjustments For Other Dividends And Distributions. If the Company at
--------------------------------------------------
any time or from time to time after the Filing Date makes, or fixes a record
date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock, in each such event provision will be made so that the
holders of the Series K Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion thereof, in
addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the
amount of other securities of the Company that they would have received had
their Series K Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of
such event (giving effect to the Series K Conversion Price in effect on that
date or on the first date thereafter that the Series K Conversion Price may be
determined) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such
event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable
by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called
for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to rights of the
holders of the Series K Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities
by their terms.
(g) Adjustments For Reclassification, Exchange And Substitution. If at any
------------------------------------------------------------
time or from time to time after the Filing Date the Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of the Series K Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an Acquisition or
Asset Transfer or a stock dividend, combination, split, recapitalization or
other transaction for which adjustment to the Series K Conversion Price is
provided elsewhere in this Section 5), in any such event each holder of Series K
Preferred Stock will have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the
kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series K Preferred
Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization,
reclassification or change (giving effect to the Series Conversion Price in
effect at that time or at the first time thereafter that the Series K Conversion
Price may be determined), all subject to further adjustment as provided herein
or with respect to such securities or property by the terms thereof.
(h) Reorganizations. If at any time or from time to time after the Filing
----------------
Date there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than an
Acquisition or Asset Transfer or a stock dividend, combination, split,
recapitalization or other transaction for which adjustment to the Series K
Conversion Rate is provided elsewhere in this Section 5), as part of such
capital reorganization, provision will be made so that the holders of the Series
K Preferred Stock will thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the
Series K Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property of the Company to which a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock
-8-
deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital
reorganization, subject to adjustment in respect of such stock or securities by
the terms thereof. In any case, appropriate adjustment will be made in the
application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of
the holders of Series K Preferred Stock after the capital reorganization to the
end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustments of the Series K
Conversion Price and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series
K Preferred Stock) will be applicable after that event and be as nearly
equivalent as practicable.
(j) Sale Of Shares Below Series K Conversion Price.
-----------------------------------------------
(i) If at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date and on
or prior to September 30, 1999 the Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the
express provisions of this Section 5 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares
of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), other than as an Acquisition or Asset
Transfer or a stock dividend, combination, split, recapitalization or other
transaction for which adjustment to the Series K Conversion Rate is provided
elsewhere in this Section 5, for an Effective Price (as hereinafter defined)
less than the then-effective Series K Conversion Price, then and in each such
case the then-effective Series K Conversion Price will be reduced (if
necessary), as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to
be equal to the lesser of the then-effective Series K Conversion Price and the
Series K Conversion Price obtained by application of the following expression:
1
-----------
CP = (1/EP - WF)
Where CP is the Series K Conversion Price, EP is the Effective Price (as
defined below), and WF is the Warrant Factor (as defined below).
(ii) If at any time or from time to time after September 30, 1999 the
Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this Section
5 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock, other than as an
Acquisition or Asset Transfer or a stock dividend, combination, split,
recapitalization or other transaction for which adjustment to the Series K
Conversion Rate is provided elsewhere in this Section 5, for an Effective Price
less than the then-effective Series K Conversion Price, then and in each such
case the then-effective Series K Conversion Price will be reduced (if necessary)
so that each holder of Series K Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
upon conversion that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of
(X) the number of shares resulting from the application of the then effective
Series K Conversion Price and (Y) the number of shares resulting from (A)
applying a conversion price determined by multiplying the then-effective Series
K Conversion Price by a fraction (q) the numerator of which will be (I) the
number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined below)
immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common
Stock that the aggregate consideration received (as hereinafter defined) by the
Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued
would be purchase at such Series K Conversion Price, and (r) the denominator of
which will be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed
-9-
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued, and (B) subtracting, from the
number of shares obtained by applying the conversion price determined in the
forgoing clause (A), a number of shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant
Factor by the product of the Series K Original Issue Price and the number of
shares of Series K Preferred Stock held by the relevant holder. For the purposes
of preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be
outstanding as of a given date will be the sum of (1) the number of shares of
Common Stock actually outstanding and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock
into which the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock could be converted if
fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date.
(iii) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this
Section 5(j), the consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of
securities (A) to the extent it consists of cash, will be computed at the net
amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any underwriting or
similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company
in connection with such issue or sale but without deduction of any expense
payable by the Company, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than
cash, will be computed at the fair market value of that property as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common
Stock, Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined) or rights or options to
purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the
Company for a consideration that covers both, will be computed as the portion of
the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common
Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.
(iv) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section
5(j), if the Company issues or sells any rights or options for the purchase of,
or stock or other securities convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock
(such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as "Convertible
Securities") and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock is less than the Series K Conversion Price, then in each case the Company
will be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or
options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received
as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total
amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance if
such rights or options or Convertible Securities plus, in the case of such
rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the
Company upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of the
Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to
the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced
by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion thereof; provided that if
in the case of Convertible Securities the minimum amounts of such consideration
cannot be ascertained, but are a function of anti-dilution or similar protective
clauses, the Company will be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of
consideration without reference to such clauses; provided further that if the
minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or
conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or
on the occurrence or non-occurrence
-10-
of specified events other than by reason of anti-dilution adjustments, the
Effective Price will be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum
amount of consideration is reduced; provided further that if the minimum amount
of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such
rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the
Effective Price will be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such
rights, options or Convertible Securities. No further adjustment of the Series K
Conversion Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or
Convertible Securities, will be made as a result of the actual issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights or options
or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or
options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible
Securities will expire without having been exercised, the Series K Conversion
Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible
Securities will be adjusted to the Series K Conversion Price that would have
been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if
any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights of conversion of
such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any,
were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company for
the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the
consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities
actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the
Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by
such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities,
provided that such readjustment will not apply to prior conversions of Series K
Preferred Stock.
(v) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" means all shares of Common
Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section
5(j), whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the Company, other
than (A) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock,
(B) up to 2,850,000 shares (the "Cap") of the Company's Common Stock and/or
options or other Common Stock purchase rights, and the Common Stock issued
pursuant to such options or other rights (whether previously or hereafter issued
and as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations
and the like) issued to employees, officers, or directors of or consultants to
the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to a stock option plan that is in effect
on the Filing Date or that is approved unanimously by the Board of Directors
after the Filing Date (the "Option Plan"), provided, however, that if any
options or other rights to purchase Common Stock lapse unexercised, such options
or rights will not be counted toward the Cap after such lapse; (C) shares of
Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or convertible
securities outstanding as of the Filing Date; (D) shares of Common Stock and/or
warrants, options or other rights (as adjusted for any stock dividends,
combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) issued after the Filing
Date pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement or debt financing approved by
the Board of Directors; and (E) shares of Common Stock and/or warrants issued or
deemed to be issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of
July __, 1998 among the Company and the Investors named therein, as amended from
time to time, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants
issued or deemed to be issued, pursuant to such Agreement.
-11-
(vi) The "Effective Price" of Additional Shares of Common Stock means
the quotient determined by dividing the total number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the
Company under this Section 5(j), into the aggregate consideration received, or
deemed to have been received by the Company for such issue under this Section
5(j), for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(vii) "Warrant Factor" means 0.193333, subject to adjustment as
provided herein. In case the Company shall at any time after the Filing Date
subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Factor in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately increased,
and, conversely, in case at any time after the Filing Date the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the
Warrant Factor in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately decreased. Each calculation of the Warrant Factor will be made
to at least six decimal places.
(k) Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or
-------------------------
readjustment of the Series K Conversion Price for the number of shares of Common
Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series K Preferred
Stock, if the Series K Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant to this
Section 5, the Company, at its expense, will compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate
showing such adjustment or readjustment, and will mail such certificate, by
first class mail, postage paid, to each registered holder of Series K Preferred
Stock at the holder's address as shown in the Company's book's. The certificate
will set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon
which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (A) the
consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company for any
Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued
or sold, (B) the Series K Conversion Price at the time in effect, (C) the
number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and (D) the type and amount, if any,
of other property that at the time would be received upon conversion of the
Series K Preferred Stock.
(l) Notices Of Record Date. Upon (A) any taking by the Company of a
----------------------
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
the holders there of who are entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution or (B) any Acquisition or other capital reorganization of the
Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, any Asset
Transfer or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company, the Company will mail to each holder of Series K Preferred Stock at
least 20 days prior to the record date specified therein a notice specifying (X)
the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (Y)
the date on which any such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification,
transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up is expected to become effective, and (Z) the date, if any, that is to
be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities)
will be entitled
-12-
to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or
other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, reorganization,
reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.
(m) Fractional Shares. No Fractional Shares of Common Stock will be issued
-----------------
upon conversion of Series K Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock
(including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of
Series K Preferred Stock by a holder thereof will be aggregated for purposes of
determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any
fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would
result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Company will, in lieu of
issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction
multiplied by the Common Stock's fair market value (as determined by the Board
of Directors) on the date of conversion.
(n) Reservation Of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company will at all
----------------------------------------------
times reserve and keep available out of it's authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares
of the Series K Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as
from time to time will be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding
shares of the Series K Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion
of all then-outstanding shares of the Series K Preferred Stock, the Company will
take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number
of shares as will be sufficient for such purpose.
(o) Notices. Any notice or required or permitted by the provisions of this
-------
Section 5 will be in writing and will be deemed effectively given: (A) upon
personal delivery to the party to be notified, (B) when sent by confirmed telex
or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then
on the next business day, (C) five days after having been sent by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (D) one day after
deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day
delivery, with written verification of receipt. All notices will be addressed to
each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the book of the
Company.
(p) Payment Of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes
-----------------
based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with
respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
shares of Series K Preferred Stock, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in
connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of
Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series K Preferred
Stock so converted were registered.
(q) No Dilution or Impairment. Without the consent of the holders of then-
-------------------------
outstanding Series K Preferred as required under Section 3(b), the Company will
not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or participate in any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or take any other voluntary action for the purpose of
avoiding
-13-
or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good
faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the
Series K Preferred Stock against dilution or other impairment.

2.12. American Telemedicine International/ Massachusetts General Hospital.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ACCESS received a letter dated June 19, 1996 from counsel to American
Telemedicine International ("ATI"), written on behalf of ATI and Massachusetts
General Hospital ("MGH"). This letter states that ATI is "associated...through
merger" with RSTAR, Inc. ("RSTAR"), which is a former employer of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx,
an executive of ACCESS. The June 19th letter asserts that U.S. Patent No.
5,469,353, issued to Xx. Xxxxxx and others and assigned to ACCESS, is derived
from proprietary information and trade secrets of MGH and RSTAR, has been
improperly assigned, and is currently unenforceable due to incorrect ownership.
The letter demands assignment of the patent to ATI and the addition of a current
ATI employee as an inventor. The June 19th letter asserts that Xx. Xxxxxx had
misappropriated proprietary information and trade secrets relevant to the patent
which were provided to him while working for RSTAR. Counsel to ATI also made
claims against Xx. Xxxxxx in a separate letter addressed to Xx. Xxxxxx
personally. ACCESS has agreed to indemnify Xx. Xxxxxx against claims made
against him in connection with this dispute.
-2-
The June 19th letter contained an offer to make documentation supporting
the claims of RSTAR and MGH available to ACCESS. In a responsive letter dated
July 3, 1996, patent counsel to ACCESS (Lahive & Xxxxxxxxx) stated that a
preliminary investigation indicated that the assertions of the June 19th letter
were incorrect, and requested copies of the offered documentation. In a
subsequent letter dated July 31, counsel to ATI stated that delivery of such
documentation would be conditioned on execution by ACCESS of an enclosed
"Confidential Disclosure Agreement", the terms of which are unacceptable to
ACCESS. The July 31 letter also requested that ATI receive documentation
relevant to the patent from ACCESS. In a further response dated August 21,
counsel to ACCESS stated that the agreement proposed by ATI was not acceptable,
that in any event no confidentiality agreement should be required for disclosure
of material now included in an issued patent, and that ACCESS was not prepared
to deliver any material to ATI prior to receiving some substantiation of ATI's
claims. The August 21 letter further stated the belief of ACCESS that the claims
of ATI and MGH are without merit.
Subsequent to August 21, 1996, counsel to ACCESS and counsel to ATI
exchanged further letters and telephone calls regarding the terms on which ATI
would be willing to make material supporting ATI's claims available to ACCESS.
No resolution to this matter was reached, and ATI and its counsel have not
communicated with ACCESS or its counsel since December 19, 1996, the date of the
last letter that counsel to ACCESS sent to counsel to ATI on this matter.
ACCESS believes that the claims of ATI and MGH are without merit and
intends to contest them vigorously.
2.16. Reference is made to the matters disclosed in items 2.7 and 2.12.
2.17(a). The Company is currently experiencing losses on a cash basis of
approximately $300,000 per month. Reference is made to all other matters
disclosed in response to Section 2.17.
2.17(c). GE Medical Systems is a business unit of General Electric that
succeeded through an asset purchase to the business of Lockheed Xxxxxx Medical
Imaging ("LMMIS") and the Purchase Agreement between ACCESS and LMMIS. GE
Medical Systems has informed ACCESS that, as a matter of policy, GE Medical
Systems will not honor certain provisions of the LMMIS contract calling for
rebates of discounts granted by ACCESS if volume purchase targets are not met.
ACCESS and GE Medical Systems are in the process of amending the LMMIS contract
to, among other things, eliminate these rebates.
2.17(e). The Fleet loan was renewed and amended as of April 10, 1998.
ACCESS has amended its software agreement ISG Technologies since March 31.
ACCESS is in the process of renegotiating its agreement for sales of services
and equipment to TeleQuest, Inc., a customer undergoing financial stress, and
has agreed to modify or cancel some of TeleQuest's purchase obligations
2.17(f). ACCESS finalized a new bonus plan for senior executives in May of
1998.

2.17(j). ACCESS repurchased 100,000 shares of Common Stock from Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx for $50,000 in April of 1998.

commercially available software from vendors (for example, Microsoft) under
standard terms of such vendors.
2.19. Reference is made to Items 2.7 and 2.17(f).

returns. ACCESS does not believe that this will have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has audited ACCESS's Massachusetts sales tax
returns through 1997 and has assessed additional sales tax as a result of this
audit. ACCESS is contesting the amount of this assessment.
