1. Dividends.
The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, on a pan
passu basis, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration
or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights
convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation) on the Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock of the
Corporation, at the rate of (i) 6% of the Series A Original Issue Price (as adjusted for stock splits,

and Asset Sales.
2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Preferred Stock. In the event
of any Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or FF Preferred
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) one (1)
times the applicable Original Issue Price for such series, plus any dividends declared but unpaid
thereon, for each share of Preferred Stock then held by them, or (ii) such amount per share as
would have been payable had such share of Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock
pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, for each share of Preferred
Stock then held by them (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to
as the "Series A Liquidation Amount" with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the "Series
B Liquidation Amount" with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock and the "Series C
Liquidation Amount" with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock); for clarity, the
determination as to which of (i) or (ii) of the foregoing clause is greater shall be made at the time
of the decision to liquidate, dissolve, or wind up, or upon consummation of a Liquidation Event,
assuming any escrowed amounts will be paid out to the stockholders of the Corporation. If
upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Preferred Stock the full amount
to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock
shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the
respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon
such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with

other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock and "Series C Original
Issue Price" shall mean $16.58926, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series C
PreLied Stock.
2.2 Payments to Holders of Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock.

be paid to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of
Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each
such holder.

(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a
Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i) unless the agreement or plan of merger or

payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital

(b) In the event of a Liquidation Event referred to in
Subsection 2.3.1(aXii), 2.3.1(6) or 2.3.1(c), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the

then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Preferred Stock no later than
the 90th day after the Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the
requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (ii) to
require the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock, and (ii) if the holders of at least a
majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument
delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Liquidation Event, the
Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Liquidation Event
(net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted
by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the "Available Proceeds"), on the

price per share equal to (i) the Series A Liquidation Amount, with regard to each share of Series
A Preferred Stock then outstanding, (ii) the Series B Liquidation Amount, with regard to each
share of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding and (iii) the Series C Liquidation Amount,
with regard to each share of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available
Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall ratably redeem each holder's shares of Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such
Available Proceeds, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so
under Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. Prior to the distribution or
redemption provided for in this Subsection 2.3.2(6), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate
the consideration received for such Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in
connection with such Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.
2.3.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed
paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash

Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or
securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Liquidation Event pursuant to Subsection 2.3.1(aXi), if any portion of the consideration payable

available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such

EFTA01092560
Liquidation Event, and payable only upon certain conditions (the "Escrow Consideration"), the
Merger Agreement shall provide that the Escrow Consideration be included with the
consideration to be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance
with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 in connection with such Liquidation Event
3. Voting.
3.1 General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the
Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
(or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares
of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible
as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as
provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of
Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, with the
holders of Preferred Stock voting on as-converted to Common Stock basis.

(1) director of the Corporation (the "Series B Director"). The holders of record of the shares of

by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of capital stock entitled
to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly
called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. If the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, fail
to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect
directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class or series, as applicable, pursuant to the first
sentence of this Subsection 3.2, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such
time as the holders of the A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the
case may be, elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a
meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by
the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship,
voting exclusively and as a separate class or series, as applicable. The holders of record of the
shares of Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Preferred
Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class on an as-converted to Common Stock

At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such
director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. Except as otherwise
provided in this Subsection 3.2, a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or
series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such
class or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or
series pursuant to this Subsection 3.2.
3.2.2 Voting of Directors. At meetings of the Board of
Directors, the directors of the Corporation then in office shall be entitled to the following votes:

entitled to cast four (4) votes in the aggregate, unless increased to an aggregate of five (5) votes
pursuant to Section 3.2.2(e) below (the "Common Director Votes").

Director shall be entitled to cast three (3) of the Common Director Votes and the remaining
Common Director shall be entitled to cast two (2) of the Common Director Votes, and (y) if
neither of the then-serving Common Directors is the CEO Director, then each of the then-serving
Common Directors shall be entitled to cast two and one half (2.5) of the Common Director
Votes.
(d) Each of the Preferred Directors and any Additional
Directors shall be entitled to cast only one (1) vote per director.
(e) Should a seat reserved for an Additional Director be
vacant, then the number of Common Director Votes shall be increased from four (4) to five (5).
(f) Every reference in this Certificate of Incorporation
and the Bylaws of the Corporation, in each case as the same may be amended or restated from
time to time, to a majority or other proportion of the directors of the Corporation shall refer to a
majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors. The voting rules set forth in this
Section 3.2.2 shall apply to any vote taken at any meeting of a committee or sub-committee of
the Board of Directors, such that, at any meeting of a committee or sub-committee of the Board
of Directors, each director shall be entitled to cast the number of votes he or she would be
entitled to cast if the vote were being taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors.

of directors (or similar governing body) to take any action without the approval of the
Corporation's board of directors.
4. Optional Conversion.
The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the
"Conversion Rights"):
4.1 Right to Convert.
4.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without
the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof into such number of fully paid and
nonacsessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue
Price, Series B Original Issue Price or Series C Original Issue Price, as applicable, by the Series
A Conversion Price (as defined below), Series B Conversion Price (as defined below) or Series C
Conversion Price (as defined below), as applicable, in effect at the time of conversion. The
"Series A Conversion Price" shall initially be equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, the
"Series B Conversion Price" shall initially be equal to the Series B Original Issue Price and the
"Series C Conversion Price" shall initially be equal to the Series C Original Issue Price. Such
initial Conversion Prices, and the rate at which shams of Preferred Stock may be converted into
shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
4.12 Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a
Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full
day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to
the holders of Preferred Stock.

4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the
holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable
upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred
Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
4.3 Mechanics of Conversion.
4.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred
Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such
registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate
affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation
against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft
or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at
the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent),
together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of
the Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on
which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder's name or the names of
the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall
be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney
duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or
by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost
certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the "Conversion
Time"), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by
such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation
shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such holder of
Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of MI
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions
hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by
the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such
amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock
otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the
shares of Preferred Stock converted.
4.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times
when the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock,
such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such

corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without
limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Series A. Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C
Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock,
as applicable, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A Conversion Price, Series B
Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as applicable.
4.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which
shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at
the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common
Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise
issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 4.2 and to receive payment of any
dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be
retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may
thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be
necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.
4.3.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no
adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series C Conversion
Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the
Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
4.3.5 Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and
other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The
Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other
than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such
issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance
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.

4.4.1 Special Definitions. For purposes of this Article Fourth,
