(the "Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements fairly present the

for the periods, indicated therein. Except as set forth in the Financial

filed all tax returns and reports as required by law. These returns and reports
are true and correct in all material respects. The Company has paid all taxes

elections that relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation or
amortization) that would have a material effect on the Company's business,
properties or financial condition. The Company has never had any tax deficiency
proposed or assessed against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute
of limitations on the assessment or collection of any tax or governmental
charge. None of the Company's federal income tax returns and none of its state
income or franchise tax or sales or use tax returns has ever been audited by
governmental authorities. Since the date of the Financial Statements, the
Company has made adequate provisions on its books of account for all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges with respect to its business, properties
and operations for such period. The Company has withheld or collected from each
payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all taxes (including, but
not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes
and Federal Unemployment Tax Act taxes) required to be withheld or collected
therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper tax receiving officers or
authorized depositaries.

with any such existing statute, law or regulation.
2.28 Disclosure. The Company has provided the Investor with
all the information reasonably available to it without undue expense that the
Investor has requested for deciding whether to purchase the Shares and all
information that the Company believes is reasonably necessary to enable the
Investor to make such decision. Neither this Agreement, the Ancillary
Agreements, nor any other written statements or certificates made or delivered
in connection herewith, when taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company Applicable to
Milestone Investment Closings.
The Company represents and warrants to the Investor as of the date of
the Closing of each Milestone Investment at which the Company receives Investor
Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.1(c), as follows:
3.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Company hereby
agrees that the Investor Common Stock will be acquired for investment for the
Company's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Company further agrees that
it has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
-10-
otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Company
further represents that the Company does not have any contract, undertaking,
agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant
participations to the person or to any third person with respect to any of the
Investor Common Stock.
3.2 Reliance upon Company's Representations. The Company
understands that the Investor Common Stock is not registered under the
Securities Act on the ground that the sale provided for in this Agreement and
the issuance of the Investor Common Stock hereunder is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that the
Investor's reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Company's
representations set forth herein.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. The Company believes it has
received all the information the Company considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to purchase the Investor Common Stock. The Company has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Investor regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Investor Common Stock and the
Investor's business, properties, prospects and financial condition and to obtain
additional information (to the extent the Investor possessed such information or
could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the
accuracy of any information furnished to the Company or to which the Company had
access.
3.4 Investment Experience; Economic Risk. The Company
understands that an investment in the Investor involves substantial risks. The
Company is experienced in evaluating and investing in private placement
transactions of securities of companies in a similar stage of development to
that of the Investor and acknowledges that the Company is able to fend for
itself. The Company has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that the Company is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment in the Investor Common Stock. The Company can bear the economic risk
of the Company's investment and is able, without impairing the Company's
financial condition, to hold the Investor Common Stock for an indefinite period
of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Company's investment.
3.5 Residency. The state of the Company's principal place of
business is Missouri.
3.6 Restricted Securities. The Company understands that the
Investor Common Stock is characterized as "restricted securities" under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Investor in
a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such federal
securities laws and applicable regulations such Investor Common Stock may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, the Company represents that it is aware of
the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit
limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence
of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public
information about the Investor, the resale occurring not less than one year
after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being
effected through a "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a
"market maker"
-11-
and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations.
3.7 Brokers or Finders. The Investor has not, and will not,
incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Company,
any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or any
similar charges in connection with this Agreement.
3.8 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
limiting the representations set forth above, the Company further agrees not to
make any disposition of all or any portion of the Investor Common Stock unless
and until (X) there is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made
in accordance with such registration statement or (Y) the Company shall have
notified the Investor of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the
Investor with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall have
furnished the Investor with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to
the Investor, that such disposition will be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such registration statement or
opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Investor to any
person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Investor; provided,
however, that, in such case, the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to
the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were the Company
hereunder.
3.9 Legends. The Company understands and agrees that the
certificates evidencing the Investor Common Stock shall bear the following
legend (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities
laws):
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY

UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND/OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES

prospects and financial condition 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 to the Investor or to which the Investor had access. The
foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties
of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to
rely thereon.
4.5 Investment Experience; Economic Risk. The Investor
understands that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and
that an investment in the Company involves substantial risks. The Investor is

and acknowledges that the Investor is able to fend for himself, herself or
itself. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
investment in the Shares. The Investor can bear the economic risk of the
Investor's investment and is able, without impairing the Investor's financial
condition, to hold the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion

limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to
make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares and the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion thereof unless and until (X) there is then in effect a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed
disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration
statement or (Y) the Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed

EXHIBIT A
Form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
E-1
VIRRX, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
-----------
VirRx, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies as follows:
A. The name of the Corporation is VirRx, Inc. The Corporation filed its
original Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on
May 8, 2001.
B. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Restated Certificate") was duly adopted by the Corporation's directors and
stockholders in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 228, 242
and 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").
C. This Restated Certificate restates, integrates and amends the
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation, as
heretofore amended.
D. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation, as heretofore amended,
is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
ARTICLE I
The name of this Corporation is VirRx, Inc.
ARTICLE II
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or
activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL.
ARTICLE III
The address of the Corporation's registered office in the State of
Delaware is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle.
The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust
Company.
ARTICLE IV
This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be
designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number
of shares of capital stock that this Corporation shall have authority to issue
is 25,300,000. The total number of shares of Common Stock this Corporation shall
have authority to issue is 15,300,000 with a par value of $0.01 per share. The
total number of shares of Preferred Stock this Corporation shall have authority
to issue is 8,700,000 with a par value of $0.01 per share, of which 10,000,000
shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and
restrictions granted to or imposed on the respective classes and series of the
shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as follows:
4.1 Dividends. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Corporation's
Board of Directors, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in
preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in
Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the
holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents")) on the Corporation's Common Stock at the
rate of $0.07 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split,
combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar
event with respect to such share) per annum. The right to receive dividends on
shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative, and no right to
such dividends shall accrue to holders of any series of Preferred Stock by
reason of the fact that dividends on such shares are not declared or paid in any
year. Upon conversion of any share of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to
subsection (A) or (B) of Section 4.3, all dividends declared but unpaid on such
share shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at the then fair market value
thereof, as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors. No
dividends shall be paid or declared, and no distribution shall be made, on any
shares of Common Stock (payable other than in Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents) unless (x) all dividends declared but unpaid on any series of
Preferred Stock have been paid or set apart for payment and (y) a dividend
(including the amount of any dividend paid pursuant to the first sentence of
this Section 4.1) is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock in an amount for each such share of Series A Preferred Stock
equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of such dividends for all shares
of Common Stock into which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock could
then be converted.
4.2 Liquidation Preference.
(A) Preferred Stock Preference. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary,
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior
and in preference to any distribution of any of the Corporation's assets or
surplus funds to the holders of the Corporation's Common Stock by reason of
their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $0.70 per share (as adjusted for any
stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or other similar event with respect to such share) plus an
additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on each such share.
If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets and funds
distributed are insufficient to permit the payment to each holder of Series A
Preferred Stock the full aforesaid preferential amounts, the entire assets and
funds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably to such
holders in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise
entitled to receive.
(B) Remaining Assets. Upon the completion of the distribution
required by subsection (A) of this Section 4.2, the Corporation's remaining
assets or funds available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed
ratably to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock based on the
number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder (assuming full
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) until, with respect to the holders
of
-2-
Series A Preferred Stock, such holders shall have received an aggregate of $2.10
per share (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event with
respect to such share and including amounts paid pursuant to subsection (A) of
this Section 4.2); thereafter, if assets or funds remain in this Corporation,
all of such remaining assets or funds shall be distributed ratably to the
holders of Common Stock based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by
each such holder.
(C) (1) Unless otherwise determined by the holders of at least a
majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, for the purposes of this
Section 4.2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall
be deemed to include (X) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by
means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, any merger, consolidation or other form of reorganization in which
outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other
consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring entity or its
subsidiary, but excluding any transaction effected primarily for the purpose of
changing the Corporation's jurisdiction of incorporation) that results in the
transfer or acquisition of at least a majority of the Corporation's voting power
or (Y) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.
(2) If any assets of the Corporation distributed to
stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be
their fair market value as mutually determined by the Corporation's Board of
Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock
(3) In the event the requirements of this subsection (C) are
not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either:
(a) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as
the requirements of this Section 4.2 have been complied with, or
(b) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of the holders of the Preferred Stock
shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred
to in subsection (C)(4).
(4) The Corporation shall give each holder of record of
Preferred Stock written notice of a transaction described in subsection (C)(1)
not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders' meeting called to
approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such
transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing
of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall
describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the
provisions of this Section 4.2, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such
holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event
take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the
first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the
Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein;
provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon
-3-
the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of
Preferred Stock then outstanding.
4.3 Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have conversion
rights as follows:
(A) Right to Convert. Each share of each series of Preferred Stock
shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the
date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer
agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Value for
such series of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price for such series of
Preferred Stock, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of
the conversion (the "Conversion Rate"). The "Conversion Value" per share for the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.70. The initial "Conversion Price" per
share for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be $0.70. Such initial Conversion
Price for each series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as
provided in subsection (D) of this Section 4.3.
(B) Automatic Conversion. Each share of each series of Preferred
Stock shall automatically be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock at its then effective Conversion Rate upon the earlier of (i)
immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public
offering pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), covering the offer and sale
of Common Stock to the public for the account of the Corporation in which the
public offering price (prior to underwriter's discounts or commissions and
offering expenses) exceeds $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock
dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or other similar event) and the aggregate gross proceeds raised
equals or exceeds $15,000,000 (a "Qualified IPO") or (ii) the date specified by
written consent or agreement of the holders of at least a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
(C) Mechanics of Conversion.
(1) Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the
certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the
Corporation or of any transfer agent for such Preferred Stock, and shall give
written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to
convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder
wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.
The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at
such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as
aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Preferred
Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date;
provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion in connection
with a Qualified IPO, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall 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 Corporation or its transfer agent; provided further, however, that the
-4-
Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates
evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the
Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above.
(2) If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten
offering of securities pursuant to the 1933 Act, the conversion may, at the
option of any holder tendering shares of Preferred Stock for conversion, be
conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities
pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the
Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have
converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such
sale of securities.
(D) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price for each
series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(1) (a) If the Corporation shall issue, after the date of
filing of this Restated Certificate, any Additional Stock (as defined in
subsection (D)(2)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less
than the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price
for such series in effect immediately prior to each such issuance of Additional
Stock shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (D)) be
adjusted to a price equal to the price paid per share for such Additional Stock.
(b) No adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of
Preferred Stock need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the
Conversion Price of less than $0.01. Any adjustment of less than $0.01 which is
not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment that, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an
adjustment of $0.01 or more in the Conversion Price. Except to the limited
extent provided for in subsections (D)(1)(e)(iii) or (iv), no adjustment of the
Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection
(D)(1) shall have the effect of increasing any such Conversion Price above the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(c) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash,
the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before
deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred
by the Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the
issuance and sale thereof.
(d) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than
cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by
the Corporation's Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(e) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or
after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate) of (i) options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, (ii) securities by their terms
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or (iii) options to purchase
or rights to subscribe for securities by their terms convertible into or
-5-
exchangeable for Common Stock, the following provisions shall apply for all
purposes of subsections (D)(1) and (2):
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been
issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration
equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections
(D)(1)(c) and (D)(1)(d)), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance
of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such
options or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution
adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction
of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including without
limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential
antidilution adjustments) for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or
upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such
convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange
thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were
issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to
the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any such securities
and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued
interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if
any, to be received by the Corporation (without taking into account potential
antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to
be determined in the manner provided in subsections (D)(1)(c) and (D)(1)(d)).
(iii) In the event of any change in the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this
Corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or
exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not
limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the
Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way
affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for
the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon
the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such
securities.
(iv) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights,
the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of
any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities,
the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock, to the extent in any
way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or option
or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the
issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise
of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.
-6-
(v) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued
and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections (D)(1)(e)(i)
and (ii) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or
expiration of the type described in either subsection (D)(1)(e)(iii) or (iv).
(2) "Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock
issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection (D)(1)(e) of this
Section 4.3) by this Corporation after the date of filing of this Restated
Certificate other than:
(a) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an event or
transaction described in subsection (D)(3) of this Section 4.3;
(b) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
conversion of the any series of Preferred Stock;
(c) up to 1,000,000 shares (net of any cancellations,
expirations or repurchases) of Common Stock, warrants, options or other rights
to purchase Common Stock or other securities issued to the Corporation's
employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors or service providers
pursuant to any plan, agreement or similar arrangement, provided such plan,

(e) shares of Common Stock, warrants, options or other

(3) Subdivision, etc. In the event this Corporation should at
any time or from time to time after the date of filing of this Restated
Certificate, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional
shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents without payment of any
consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the
Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or
the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date
is fixed), the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock shall be
appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on
conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such
increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those
issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
(4) Combination. If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate is
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, on
the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Price for each series of
Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(E) Other Distributions. In the event the Corporation shall declare
a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness
issued by this Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends)
or options or rights not referred to in subsection (D)(3) of this Section 4.3,
then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection (E), the holders of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation into which their respective shares of Preferred Stock
are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders
of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
(F) Recapitalizations. If, at any time or from time to time after
the date of filing of this Restated Certificate, there shall be a
recapitalization of the Corporation's Common Stock (other than (x) a subdivision
or combination provided for elsewhere in this Section 4.3 or (y) a merger or
sale of assets referred to in Section 4.2(C)) provision shall be made so that
the holders of each series of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to
receive upon conversion of each such series of Preferred Stock the number of
shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise,
to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such series of
Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such
case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions
of this Section 4.3 with respect to the rights of the holders of each series of
Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of
this Section 4.3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect
and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of each series of Preferred
Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as prior to
that event as may be practicable.
(G) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
-8-
the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4.3 and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
conversion rights of the holders of each series of Preferred Stock set forth in
this Section 4.3 against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the
Corporation's right to amend its Certificate of Incorporation with the requisite
stockholder consent.
(H) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustment.
(1) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of
any share of any series of Preferred Stock and, in lieu of any fractional shares
to which any holder of any series of Preferred Stock would otherwise be
entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the then effective Conversion Price for the applicable series of Preferred
Stock. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall
be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of the applicable
series of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common
Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
conversion.
(2) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
the Conversion Rate for any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section
4.3, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each
holder of such series of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon written request
at any time of any holder of any series of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to
be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) all such
adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time in effect,
and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other
property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder's
shares of Preferred Stock.
(I) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities or property or to receive any other right, the Corporation
shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to
such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount
and character of such dividend, distribution or right.
(J) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the
shares of Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall
from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take
such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to
increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such
-9-
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without
limitation, engaging its best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder
approval for any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate.
4.4 Voting.
(A) General. Each holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock
(i) shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock could be
converted at the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to
vote, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken
or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, (ii) shall have voting
rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock
(except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, voting together with
the Common Stock as a single class) and (iii) shall be entitled to notice of any
stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Corporation's Bylaws. Fractional
votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting resulting from
the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). Each holder of each
share of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote.
(B) Election of Directors.
(1) The Board of Directors shall consist of three members. The
holders of Common Stock, voting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect
one (1) member of the Corporation's Board of Directors at each meeting or
pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's stockholders for the election of
directors. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a single class,
shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporation's Board of
Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's
stockholders for the election of directors. The holders of Common Stock and
Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and on an
as-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect the remaining members of the
Corporation's Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of
the Corporation's stockholders for the election of directors.
(2) Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled by at
least a majority of the remaining directors originally elected by the class or
classes of stock or series thereof that elected the member who created the
vacancy (or the remaining director so elected if there is but one, or if there
is no such director remaining, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least a majority of the shares of that class or classes or series).
(3) Any director who was elected by a specified class or
classes of stock or series thereof may be removed during his or her term of
office, either for or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the class or classes of
stock or series thereof that initially elected such director.
4.5 Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. The Corporation shall
not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent) of the
holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding:
-10-
(A) take any action that would alter or change materially and
adversely the rights, preferences or privileges of any series of Preferred Stock
then outstanding;
(B) authorize or issue any new class or series of equity
securities having any preference or priority as to voting, dividends, or
distribution of assets upon liquidation, merger or otherwise which is superior
to or on a parity with any such preference or priority of any series of
Preferred Stock then outstanding;
(C) sell all or substantially all of its assets, or merge into
or consolidate with any other entity (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Corporation), or effect any transaction or series of related transactions in
which at least a majority of the Corporation's voting power is disposed of;
(D) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number
of authorized shares of any class or series of equity securities;
(E) effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of
shares of any class or series of Stock;
(F) increase the number of authorized directors of the
Corporation's Board of Directors to more than three (unless unanimously approved
by the Corporation's Board of Directors);
(G) pay or declare a dividend on any shares of Common Stock
(payable other than in Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents); or
(H) do any act which would result in taxation under Section 305
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall not limit or restrict any rights which
any holder of Preferred Stock may have under the DGCL.
4.6 Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of any
series of Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to Section 4.3, the Corporation
shall never again issue the shares so converted and all such shares so converted
shall, upon such conversion, cease to be a part of the Corporation's authorized
stock. The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation shall be appropriately
amended to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation's authorized
stock.
4.7 Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of Sections 4.2
or 4.3 to be given to the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock
shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally by hand or by courier,
mailed by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile
directed to each holder of record at such holder's address, facsimile number
appearing on the Corporation's books. Any such notice shall be deemed given upon
personal delivery, on the date of mailing, upon confirmation of facsimile
transfer.
