3. | For any and all purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation, nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any other transaction or series of transactions having the effect of a reorganization shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.

FIFTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any Court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this corporation under the

provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such a manner as the Court directs.

The termination of any action, upon a plea of nolo contendere or equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful.
SEVENTH: The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, alter or repeal the By-laws.

TENTH: The Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, shall be designated the following relative rights, preferences and limitations as follows:
Section 1. Designation and Amount; Rank
There is hereby established a series of preferred stock which is designated “Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock” (referred to herein as “Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock”). The number of shares which will constitute such series shall be Eight Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (825,000). The Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu with the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Section 2. Dividends.
So long as any shares of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon the Common Stock or upon any other stock ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless, in the case of Preferred Stock, the same dividend is declared, paid or set aside for payment on all outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock or in the case of Common Stock, ten times such dividend per share is declared, paid or set aside for payment on each outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Section 3. General, Class and Series Voting Rights.
Except as otherwise provided by law, each share of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall have the same voting rights as ten (10) shares of Common Stock and the holders of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and the Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters.

The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall have been converted into Common Stock or shall have been redeemed or sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
Section 4. Redemption.
(A) The shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are not redeemable prior to March 31, 2000. At any time on or after such date through June 30, 2000, the shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the “Special Director” of the corporation, at the redemption price per share of $.10, if the “Trigger Conditions” have not been met.
(B) For purposes of this paragraph, the “Trigger Condition” shall mean that:
(a) the closing bid prices of the Common Stock of the corporation as reported by Nasdaq (or otherwise as set forth below) is greater than $2.00 per share during a period of any ten (10) consecutive trading days and
(b) either:
(i) the corporation's net revenues for any fiscal quarter through the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000 are $1 million or more (as computed by the corporation's regular independent public accountants); or
(ii) the corporation has received net receipts of not less than $2.5 million from the sale of its Common Stock from the date hereof through March 31, 2000.
For the purpose of any computation under the foregoing paragraph, the closing price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be the reported last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange at such time, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock 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 the Common Stock is not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as reported by Nasdaq or, if bid prices for the Common Stock on each such day shall not have been reported through Nasdaq, the average of the bid prices for such date as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected from time to time by the Board of Directors of the corporation for such purpose or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by a New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Stock selected from time to time by the Board of Directors of the corporation for such purpose.
(C) For purposes of this paragraph, the “Special Director” mean James Fyfe or his successor as director of the corporation if such successor has been approved by Fyfe. So long as any shares of the Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding, through June 30, 2000, the corporation shall nominate to the Board of Directors Fyfe or, if Fyfe so determines, Fyfe's designee.
(D) In the event the corporation shall elect to redeem the shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock following the Trigger Condition, the corporation shall give notice to the holders of record of shares of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock being so redeemed, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at their addresses as shown on the stock registry books of the corporation, that said shares are being redeemed, provided that without limiting the obligation of the corporation hereunder to give the notice provided in this Section 4(D), the failure of the corporation to give such notice shall not invalidate any corporate action by the corporation. Each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) that all of the shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are to be redeemed; (iii) that the redemption price is $.10 per share; (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that such holder does not have the right to convert such shares into Common Stock.
(E) Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, from and after the applicable redemption date (unless default shall be made by the corporation in providing money for the payment of the redemption price), said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the corporation (except the right to receive from the corporation the redemption price) shall cease. Upon surrender of the certificates for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors of the corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the corporation at the redemption price aforesaid.

(F) Any shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock which shall at any time have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board of Directors of the corporation.
Section 5. Conversion.
(A) The holder of any share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option (but not if such share is called for redemption), exercisable on or after September 30, 2000, to convert such share into ten (10) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below.
(B) In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the holder of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares, accompanied by transfer instruments satisfactory to the corporation and sufficient to transfer the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock being converted to the corporation free of any adverse interest, at any of the offices or agencies maintained for such purpose by the corporation (“Conversion Agent”) and shall give written notice to the corporation at such Conversion Agent that the holder elects to convert such shares. Such notice shall also state the names, together with addresses, in which the certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of such shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such Conversion Agent to such holder, or on his written order, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with the provisions hereof. Balance certificates will be issued for the remaining shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in any case in which fewer than all of the shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted. Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall have been so surrendered and such notice received by the corporation as aforesaid, and the persons in whose names any certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holders of record of the Common Stock represented thereby at such time, unless the stock transfer books of the corporation shall be closed on the date on which shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are so surrendered for conversion, in which event such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, and such persons shall be deemed to have become such holders of record of the Common Stock at the close of business on such later day. In either circumstance, such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such share shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the corporation.
(C) In the case of any share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock which is converted after any record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date related to such record date, the dividend due on such Dividend Payment Date shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the holder of record of such share as of such preceding record date notwithstanding such conversion.
(D) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, the corporation shall pay to the holder of such share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward) equal to such fraction multiplied by the reported closing price (as defined above) of the Common Stock at the close of business on the day on which such share or shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are surrendered for conversion in the manner set forth above, or if such date is not a trading date, on the next succeeding trading date. If more than one certificate representing shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock represented by such certificates, or the specified portions thereof to be converted, so surrendered.
(E) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(i) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock and the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is not similarly subdivided, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock and the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is not similarly subdivided, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective

shall be proportionately decreased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(ii) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, (x) the corporation shall promptly file with any Conversion Agent a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment, and (y) a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall forthwith be given by the corporation to any Conversion Agent and mailed by the corporation to each holder of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at their last address as the same appears on the books of the corporation.
(F) In case of any consolidation of the corporation with, or merger of the corporation into, any other entity (other than a merger or consolidation in which the corporation is the continuing corporation) or any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of a statutory exchange of securities with another corporation, or any reclassification of shares, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted but each holder of a share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such share only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, exchange or reclassification had such share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, exchange or reclassification. Provision shall be made in any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, exchange or reclassification for adjustments in the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section (E). The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, conveyances, exchange or reclassification.
For purposes of this Section 5, “Common Stock” includes any stock of any class of the corporation which has no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation and which is not subject to redemption by the corporation. However, subject to the provisions of paragraph (F) above, shares issuable on conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall include only shares of the class designated as Common Stock of the corporation on the date of the initial issuance of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock by the corporation, or shares of any class or classes resulting from any reclassification or reclassifications thereof and which have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation and which are not subject to redemption by the corporation.
In case:
(i) the corporation shall declare a stocks split, stock dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock that would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of subparagraph (i) of Paragraph (E) above; or
(ii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the corporation is required, or of the sale or conveyance, of the property of the corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or
(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the corporation; then the corporation shall cause to be filed with any Conversion Agent, and shall cause to be mailed to all holders of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock at each such holder's last address as the same appears on the books of the corporation, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (i) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.
The corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversions of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the corporation, that such tax has been paid.
The corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversions of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock will upon delivery be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any pre-emptive rights. The corporation further covenants that, if necessary, it shall reduce the par value of the Common Stock so that all shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
The corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from pre-emptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common; Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversions of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock not theretofore converted. For purposes of this reservation of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were held by a single holder. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock is authorized in all respects.
Section 6. Liquidation.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the corporation (for the purposes of this Section 6, a “Liquidation”), after any distribution of assets is made to the holders of any other class or series of stock that ranks prior to the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in respect of distributions upon the Liquidation of the corporation, the holder of each share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount on a pari passu basis equal to ten times the amount per share distributed to the holders of the Common Stock.
The voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of the property of the corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or the merger or consolidation of the corporation into or with any other corporation, or the merger of any other corporation into the corporation, or any purchase or redemption of some or all of the shares of any class or series of stock of the corporation, shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation of the corporation for the purposes of the Section 6 (unless in connection therewith the Liquidation of the corporation is specifically approved).
The holder of any shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any payment owed for such shares under this Section 6 until such holder shall cause to be delivered to the corporation (i) the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and (ii) transfer instrument or instruments satisfactory to the corporation and sufficient to transfer such shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock to the corporation free of any adverse interest. As in the case of the redemption price, no interest shall accrue on any payment upon Liquidation after the due date thereof.
After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distribution to which they are entitled, the holders of shares of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the corporation.
Section 7. Payments.
The corporation may provide funds for any payment of the redemption price for any shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock or any amount distributable with respect to any Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock under Section 6 hereof by depositing such funds with a bank or trust company selected by the corporation having a net worth of at least $50,000,000 and organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, in trust for the benefit of the holder of such shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock under arrangements providing irrevocably for payment upon satisfaction of any conditions to such payment by the holder of such shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock which shall reasonably be required by the corporation. The corporation shall be entitled to make any deposit of funds contemplated by this section 7 under arrangements designated to permit such funds to generate interest or other income for the corporation, and the corporation shall be entitled to receive all interest and other income earned by any funds while they shall be deposited as

contemplated by this section 7, provided that the corporation shall maintain on deposit funds sufficient to satisfy all payments which the deposit arrangement shall have been established to satisfy if the conditions precedent to the disbursement of any funds deposited by the corporation pursuant to this Section 7 shall not have been satisfied within two years after the establishment of the trust for such funds, then (i) such funds shall be returned to the corporation upon its request; (ii) after such return, such funds shall be free of any trust which shall have been impressed upon them; (iii) the person entitled to the payment for which been originally intended shall have the right to look only to the corporation for such payment, subject to applicable escheat laws; and (iv) the trustee which shall have held such funds shall be relieved of any responsibility for such of such funds to the corporation.
Any payment which may be owed for the payment of the redemption price for any shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4 or the payment of any amount distributable with respect to the shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock under Section 6 shall be deemed to have been “paid or properly provided for” upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the date upon which funds sufficient to make such payment shall be deposited in a manner contemplated by the preceding paragraph or (ii) the date upon which a check payable to the person entitled to receive such payment shall be delivered to such person or mailed to such person at the address of such person then appearing on the books of the corporation.

ELEVENTH: For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and its Directors and stockholders:
A. The number of Directors constituting the Corporations' Board of Directors shall be determined by the Board of Directors, from time to time. The term of office of all Directors shall expire at the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. Commencing with the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, the Directors constituting the Corporation's Board of Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any classes or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors consistent with the terms of this Article ELEVENTH. At the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, one class shall be elected to a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, another class shall be elected to a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015, and another class shall be elected to a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016, with each class to hold office until its successor is elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation commencing with the election in 2014, the successors of the class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election.
B. Except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to provisions hereof relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect additional Directors under specified circumstances, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors and any vacancies

on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining Director. Any Director appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office and shall be elected for the remainder of the full term of the class of Directors in which a new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such Director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.
