Such dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue on each share from day to day, commencing on the date of issuance of such share, whether or not earned or declared. Subject to paragraphs 1E, 1F, 1G and 1J below, accrued dividends shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each, a “Quarterly Dividend Reference Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Reference Date following June 30, 1999, and shall be payable in cash (except as provided in part 5), when, and if, paid.

1.B. Subject to paragraphs 1E, 1F and 1J below, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends at the rate of $0.08 per share (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares) per annum, payable out of funds legally available therefor.

Subject to paragraphs 1E, 1F and 1J below, accrued dividends shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, on each Quarterly Dividend Reference Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Reference Date following June 30, 1999, and shall be payable in cash (except as provided in part 5), when, and if, paid.

1.C. Subject to paragraphs 1E and 1J below, the holders of Series C Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each share of Series C Stock held by such person at the Applicable Series C Dividend Rate Per Share (as defined in part 8) (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares), payable out of funds legally available therefor. Such dividends shall accrue during each year at the Applicable Series C Dividend Rate Per Share on a daily basis from and including the date of issuance of such share of Series C Stock to and including the date on which the Series C Liquidation Value and/or Series C-1 Liquidation Value, as the case may be, of such share is paid. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the corporation legally available for the payment of dividends; provided, however, in the event that (i) all accrued but unpaid dividends in respect of the Series C Preferred Stock are paid in accordance with paragraphs 1K or 5L of these Articles of Incorporation and (ii) the Series C-1 Preferred Stock is redeemed in accordance with paragraph 3E of these Articles of Incorporation, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each share of Series C Stock held by such person at the Applicable Revised Series C Dividend Rate Per Share (as defined in part 8) (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares) and the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to the Applicable Revised Series C Dividend Rate Per Share as if it were the Applicable Series C Dividend Rate for the purposes thereof.

payment before any dividend, distribution or payment may be made with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any other series or class of capital stock of the corporation (other than the Series D Preferred Stock). The Series D-1 Original Issue Date shall be deemed to be the “date of issuance” of each share of Series C Stock regardless of the number of times transfer of each such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence each such share. Subject to paragraphs 1E and 1J below, accrued dividends shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, on each Quarterly Dividend Reference Date, commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Reference Date following June 30, 2001, and shall be payable in cash, when, and if, paid.

1.D. Subject to paragraph 1J below, dividends on each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 13.5% per annum of the sum of the Series D Liquidation Price (as defined in paragraph 2A(i)) plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, from and including the date of issuance of such share of Series D Preferred Stock to and including the date on which the Series D Liquidation Value (as defined in paragraph 2A(i)) of such share is paid or, in the case of each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, the date on which such share is converted into Series D-2 Preferred Stock and Class A Common Stock. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. Such dividends shall be cumulative such that all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully paid or declared with funds irrevocably set apart for payment before any dividend, distribution or payment may be made with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Common Stock or any other series or class of capital stock of the corporation. The date on which the corporation initially issues any shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the “date of issuance” of (i) such share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock and (ii) the share of Series D-2 Preferred Stock into which such share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock is converted hereunder in order that, without duplication, the accumulated and/or accrued and unpaid dividends on any share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock that is converted into a share of Series D-2 Preferred Stock will be deemed to be accumulated and/or accrued on such share of Series D-2 Preferred Stock, in each case regardless of the number of times transfer of each such share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence each such share. To the extent not paid on each April 30 and October 31 (each, a “Semi-Annual Dividend Reference Date”), commencing on the first Semi-Annual Dividend Reference Date following May 1, 2001, all dividends which have accrued on each share of Series D Preferred Stock during the six-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Semi-Annual Dividend Reference Date after the date of issuance of such share) ending upon each such Semi-Annual Dividend Reference Date shall be accumulated and shall remain accumulated and accrued dividends with respect to such share of Series D Preferred Stock until paid. Dividends accruing on the Series D Preferred Stock shall be payable solely in cash and not in kind, when, and if, paid.

1.E. No dividends or other distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends paid on shares of Common Stock and consisting solely of shares of Common Stock of the same class) shall be paid on or declared and set apart for

1.F. Subject to paragraph 1E above, no dividends or other distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends paid on shares of Common Stock and consisting solely of shares of Common Stock of the same class) shall be paid on or declared and set apart for any Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or any other series or class of capital stock of the corporation (other than the Series D Preferred Stock) on any Quarterly Dividend Reference Date until dividends in the total amount due on such date to holders of the Series C Stock, including any dividends that have accumulated but remain unpaid, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment on or prior to such Quarterly Dividend Reference Date.

1.G. Subject to paragraphs 1E and 1F above, no dividends or other distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends paid on shares of Common Stock and consisting solely of shares of Common Stock of the same class) shall be paid on or declared and set apart for any Series A Preferred Stock on any Quarterly Dividend Reference Date until dividends in the total amount due on such date to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, including any dividends that have accumulated but remain unpaid, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment on or prior to such Quarterly Dividend Reference Date.

1.H. Subject to paragraphs 1E, 1F and 1G above, no dividends or other distributions (other than dividends paid on shares of Common Stock and consisting solely of shares of Common Stock of the same class) shall be paid on or declared and set apart for any Common Stock or any other class or series of stock of the corporation during any fiscal year of the corporation until dividends in the total amount of $0.08 per share (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series A Preferred Stock, $0.08 per share (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares) on the Series B Preferred Stock, in respect of each share of Series C Stock, the Applicable Series C Dividend Rate Per Share or Applicable Revised Series C Dividend Rate Per Share, as the case may be (each as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares), and, in respect of each share of Series D Preferred Stock, 13.5% per annum of the sum of the Series D Liquidation Price, plus in each case all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment during that fiscal year and any prior year in which dividends have accumulated but remain unpaid, and no dividends shall be paid on any share of Common Stock (other than dividends paid on shares of Common Stock and consisting solely of shares of Common Stock of the same class) unless a dividend (including the amount of any dividends paid pursuant to the above provisions of this paragraph 1H, in the case of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Stock only) or other distribution is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock in an amount for each such share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as the case may be, equal to or greater than the aggregate amount of such dividends or other distributions for the number of shares of Common Stock into which each outstanding share of Series A

Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock could then be converted.

1.I. Subject to paragraph 1E above, in the event the corporation shall declare a distribution (other than any distribution described in paragraphs 1A through 1D and 1F through 1H) payable in securities of the corporation or other Persons (other than dividends paid on shares of Common Stock and consisting solely of shares of Common Stock of the same class), evidences of indebtedness issued by the corporation or other Persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness, and at such time, there are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends then owed in respect of any share of Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock could be converted as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

1.J. No dividends shall be paid or declared under paragraphs 1A, 1B, 1C or 1D (i) if a Default or Event of Default is then continuing under the Credit Agreement, Indenture or the Subordinated Note Agreement, or (ii) to the extent the payment of dividends pursuant to paragraph 1A, 1B, 1C or 1D would cause a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, Indenture or Subordinated Note Agreement to occur; provided, that if the corporation is not permitted to pay dividends under this paragraph 1J, dividends shall continue to accrue pursuant to this part 1 and may be paid out of funds legally available therefor immediately after no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, or would result, under the Credit Agreement, Indenture or Subordinated Note Agreement, and to the extent the corporation may pay such dividends without causing a Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, Indenture or Subordinated Note Agreement. A Default or Event of Default will not be “continuing” if it has been waived.

1.K. Subject to paragraphs 1E and 1J above, immediately prior to, or concurrently with, the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the corporation shall declare and pay a dividend to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all declared or accrued but unpaid dividends in respect of the Series C Preferred Stock.

If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of such full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the Series D Liquidation Value of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then held by them.

(ii) After payment to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock of the full amount to which they are entitled under subparagraph (i) above, the holders of the Series C Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any other capital stock of the corporation by reason of their ownership thereof (the “Series C Liquidation Preference”), (a) an amount for each share of Series C Preferred Stock then held by them equal to the greater of (i) $19.689579 (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares) plus declared or accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series C Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount each share of Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled pro rata, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and any other securities entitled to participate with the Common

If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series C Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of such full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series C Stock in proportion to the Series C Preferred Liquidation Value or Series C-1 Liquidation Value, as the case may be, of the shares of Series C Stock then held by them.

(iv) After payment to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series C Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock of the full amount to which they are entitled under subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the corporation by reason of their ownership thereof (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”), an amount for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them equal to $1.00 (as adjusted for any combinations or splits with respect to such shares) plus accrued

or declared but unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Liquidation Value” of such share).

(v) Subject to the payment in full of the Series D Liquidation Preference, the Series C Liquidation Preference, the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Series A Liquidation Preference as provided in subparagraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, all remaining assets and surplus funds of the corporation shall be distributed among holders of Common Stock and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then held by them and the shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock then held by them could be converted.

3.K. If all Series D-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Underlying Common Stock that the corporation is then required to redeem has been redeemed and the funds of the corporation legally available for redemption of Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1 Preferred Stock, as the case may be, on the Series C Mandatory Redemption Date and/or the Series C-1 Public Offering Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series C-1 Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to be redeemed on the Series C Mandatory Redemption Date and/or Series C-1 Public Offering Redemption Date, those funds that are legally available will be applied to the shares of Series C Stock to be redeemed as follows: (i) if applicable, ratably among the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock based upon the aggregate Series C Redemption Price and the aggregate Series C-1 Redemption Price, then (ii) with respect to each of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed, ratably among the holders of shares of each of the Series C Preferred Stock and Series C-1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed based upon (a) in the case of the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the aggregate Series C Redemption Price of such shares held by each holder and (b) in the case of the holders of shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the aggregate Series C-1 Redemption Price of such shares held by each holder.

At any time and from time to time thereafter when additional funds of the corporation are legally available for redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such funds immediately will be applied to redeem the balance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed and such funds will not be used for any other purpose, including to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that the corporation is obligated to redeem.

If all Series D-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Underlying Common Stock, Series C Stock and Series B Preferred Stock that the corporation is then required to redeem have been redeemed and the funds of the corporation legally available for redemption of Series A Preferred Stock on the Series A Mandatory Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Series A Mandatory Redemption Date, those funds that are legally available will be applied to the Series A Preferred Stock ratably among the holders of the shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Series A Redemption Price of such shares held by each such holder.

3.N. No share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Underlying Common Stock is entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Series A Redemption Price, the Series B Redemption Price, the Series C Redemption Price, the Series C-1 Redemption Price, the Series D-2 Redemption Price or the Qualified Public Offering Price Per Share, respectively, with respect to such share is paid. On such date, all rights of the holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Underlying Common Stock will cease, and such share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Underlying Common Stock will not be deemed to be outstanding.

3.O. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock or Series D Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the corporation will be cancelled and will not be reissued, sold or transferred. If fewer than the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock or Series D Stock represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock or Series D Stock will be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within three business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed shares.

3.R. Notwithstanding any other provision of this part 3, (i) no holder of Preferred Stock will deliver a Redemption Notice to the corporation pursuant to this part 3 and (ii) neither the corporation nor any Subsidiary will redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock or any other series or class of capital stock of the corporation (other than Series D Stock) at any time (a) during each period (each, a “Non-Redemption Period”) beginning on the date of the receipt by the corporation of a Sale Notice (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) and ending on the date that the corporation elects, pursuant to Paragraph 3C(b) of the Shareholders Agreement, to suspend all efforts to consummate the Sale of the Company initiated by such Sale Notice or (b) if any Series D-2 Preferred Stock or Series D Underlying Common Stock that is required at such time to be redeemed pursuant to paragraph 3F of these Articles of Incorporation by the corporation has not been redeemed. Any Redemption Notice delivered during a Non-Redemption Period shall have no force or effect, and any Redemption Notice delivered to the corporation at any time other than during a Non-Redemption Period shall be deemed rescinded and such Redemption Notice shall have no further force or effect if, prior to the consummation of the redemption contemplated by such Redemption Notice, the corporation receives a Sale Notice.

5.B. Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the then effective Series A Conversion Price immediately upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the then effective Series C Conversion Price immediately upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into (i) one fully paid and nonassessable share of Series D-2 Preferred Stock and (ii) a quantity of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Series D-1 Conversion Amount in effect at the time of conversion immediately upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock.

(a) no further adjustments in the Series A Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, then the Series A Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock);

(1) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the corporation upon such conversion or exchange, and

(2) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options and the consideration received by the corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the corporation (determined pursuant to paragraph 5D(ix)) upon the issue of the

Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(d) no adjustment of the conversion rate for the Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred Stock shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (1) the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (2) the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price that would have resulted from any actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;

(e) no adjustment of the Series D Dilution Factor shall have the effect of decreasing the Series D Dilution Factor to an amount which is lower than the higher of (1) the Series D Dilution Factor on the original adjustment date or (2) the Series D Dilution Factor that would have resulted from any actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock and the operation of any other provision of this part 5 between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;

(f) in the case of any Options that expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor shall be made, except as to shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock converted during such period, until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (c) above; and

(g) if any such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed thereof, the adjustment previously made in the Series A Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor that became effective on such record date shall be cancelled as of the close of business on such record date, and shall instead be made on the actual date of issuance, if any.

(v) Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. Subject to subparagraph 5D(viii), in the event the corporation, at any time after the Series D-1 Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price (calculated to the nearest $0.0001) obtained by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or

sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Series A Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (b) the consideration received (or deemed to be received hereunder) by the corporation upon such issue or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (c) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (d) the Series A Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than $0.0001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to $0.0001 per share or more. Upon each adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible, at the Series A Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Series A Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

(vi) Adjustment of Series C Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. Subject to subparagraph 5D(viii), in the event the corporation, after the Series D-1 Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series C Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price (calculated to the nearest $0.0001) obtained by multiplying the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Series C Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (b) the consideration received (or deemed to be received hereunder) by the corporation upon such issue or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (c) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (d) the Series C Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than $0.0001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to $0.0001 per share or more. Upon each adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible, at the Series C

Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Series C Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

(vii) Adjustment of Series D Dilution Factor Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the corporation, at any time after the date of the expiration of the Additional Financing Period, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Market Price of Class A Common Stock determined as of immediately prior to such issue, then immediately upon such issue the Series D Dilution Factor shall be increased, concurrently with such issue, to the amount (calculated to the nearest 0.00001) obtained by multiplying the Series D Dilution Factor in effect immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product derived by multiplying the Market Price of Class A Common Stock determined as of immediately prior to such issue by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately after such issue and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately prior to such issue multiplied by the Market Price of Class A Common Stock determined immediately prior to such issue, plus (2) the consideration, if any, received by the corporation upon such issue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Series D Dilution Factor shall be made in an amount less than 0.00001, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 0.00001 or more. Upon each adjustment of the Series D Dilution Factor, each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into one share of Series D-2 Preferred Stock and a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Series D-1 Conversion Amount resulting from such adjustment.

(viii) Effect of the Issuance of Series D-1 Preferred Stock and Changes in the Series D-1 Conversion Amount. The Series A Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of Series D-1 Preferred Stock by the corporation or any change in the Adjusted Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount, the Series D Dilution Factor or any component of either of them. For purposes of adjusting the Series C Conversion Price only, (a) on the Series D-1 Original Issue Date, the corporation will be deemed to have issued 2,033,381 Additional Shares of Common Stock, which amount is equal to the Initial Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount on the Series D-1 Original Issue Date, at the price of $0.01 per share and, concurrently with such deemed issuance, the Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced to $15.989766 in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 5D(iv) (as if the Series D-1 Preferred Stock was a

Convertible Security) and 5D(vi); (b) in the event the corporation, after the Series D-1 Original Issue Date, shall issue Option Shares, then the corporation will be deemed to have issued a number of Additional Shares of Common Stock equal to the amount by which the Initial Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount, as calculated on the date of such issuance immediately following the issuance of such Option Shares and after giving effect to the resulting reduction of the Series C Conversion Price, exceeds the Initial Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount, as calculated on the date of such issuance immediately prior to such issuance of Option Shares and without giving effect to such reduction in the Series C Conversion Price, at the price of $0.01 per share and, concurrently with such issuance, the Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 5D(iv) (as if the Series D-1 Preferred Stock was a Convertible Security) and 5D(vi); and (c) in the event, after the Series D-1 Original Issue Date, the Additional Financing Amount increases (other than by reason of the issuance of Option Shares), then a number of Additional Shares of Common Stock equal to the amount by which the Initial Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount, as calculated on the date of such increase immediately prior to such increase in the Additional Financing Amount and without giving effect to the resulting increase of the Series C Conversion Price, exceeds the Initial Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount, as calculated on the date of such increase immediately after such increase in the Additional Financing Amount and giving effect to such increase in the Series C Conversion Price, shall be Additional Shares of Common Stock which were never deemed to have been issued as described in clause (a) above and, concurrently with such increase in the Additional Financing Amount, the Series C Conversion Price shall be increased to reflect such decrease in the Initial Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 5D(iv) (as if the Series D-1 Preferred Stock was a Convertible Security) and 5D(vi). Except as specifically provided by this paragraph 5D(viii), the Series C Conversion Price shall not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of Series D-1 Preferred Stock by the corporation or any change in the Adjusted Series D Underlying Common Stock Amount, the Series D Dilution Factor or any component of either of them.

(ix) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this paragraph 5D, the consideration received by the corporation for the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(a) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends after deducting all commissions and expenses paid and concessions and discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue;

(2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and

(3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Option for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; by

(2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

5.E. Adjustments for Dividends, Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock. In the event that the corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series D-1 Original Issue Date shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, the Series A Conversion Price and Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate, and the Series D Dilution Factor shall be proportionately increased or decreased, as appropriate.

5.F. Other Adjustments. In case of any reorganization or any reclassification of the capital stock of the corporation, any consolidation, merger or share exchange of the corporation with or into another Person or Persons (other than a consolidation or merger deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation as provided in paragraph 2B above), each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon the record date of (or date of, if no record date is fixed) such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or share exchange; and, in any case appropriate adjustment (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) shall be made in the application of the provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as is practicable, in relation to any shares of stock or the securities or property (including cash) thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

5.G. No Impairment. The corporation will not, by amendment of these Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid 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 part 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion right of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D-1 Preferred Stock against impairment.

5.H. Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor pursuant to this part 5, the corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock, as the case may be, 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 the written request at any time of any holder of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Series A Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Dilution Factor, as the case may be, at the time in effect, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

5.I. Issue Taxes. The corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.

5.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 Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock, the corporation will take such corporate action as in the opinion of its counsel may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to these Articles of Incorporation. The corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Series D-2 Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Series D-2 Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Series D-2 Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock, the corporation will take such corporate action as in the opinion of its counsel may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Series D-2 Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to these Articles of Incorporation.

5.K. Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock. All shares of Class A Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series D-1 Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after such aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Class A Common Stock, the corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the corporation).

5.L. Payment of Accrued Dividends. Subject to paragraph 1E, (i) as soon as possible after shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, the corporation shall deliver to the holder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted payment in cash in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock converted, or if the conversion occurs in connection with a Qualified Public Offering or following the Initial Public Offering, and the corporation’s securities are then listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, at the option of the corporation, (a) in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is determined by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted concurrently with the closing of the Qualified Public Offering in question by the Qualified Public Offering Price Per Share or (b) following the Initial Public Offering, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is determined by dividing the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted at the time of conversion by the Market Price of a share of Class A Common Stock and (ii) as soon as possible after shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, including if the conversion occurs in connection with a Qualified Public Offering with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock or following the Initial Public Offering, the corporation shall deliver to the holder of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted payment in cash in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock converted. Shares of Class A Common Stock issued by the corporation in payment of accrued and unpaid dividends in lieu of cash shall, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable shares.

5.M. Notices. The corporation shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock written notice of each proposed underwritten public offering of Class A Common Stock that could reasonably be anticipated to be a Qualified Public Offering not later than 20 days prior to the anticipated date of closing of such public offering. Such notice shall set forth a summary of the proposed terms of such public offering, including the anticipated Initial Public Offering Price Per Share (which may be expressed as a range of anticipated prices) for the Class A Common Stock. Thereafter, the corporation shall give such holders prompt written notice of any material changes in the proposed terms of such public offering, including any change in the anticipated Initial Public Offering Price Per Share. If the public offering is a Qualified Public Offering, the corporation shall also give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock written notice to such effect, specifying the Qualified Public Offering Price Per Share, not later than the date of the closing of such Qualified Public Offering.

Part 6. Registration of Transfers. The corporation will keep at its principal office a register for the registration of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock at such place, the corporation will, at the request of the record holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the corporation’s expense)

a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and will be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and dividends will accrue on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Common Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate.
