              CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE POWERS, PREFERENCES
            AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL AND OTHER SPECIAL
                 RIGHTS OF PREFERRED STOCK AND QUALIFICATIONS,
                      LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS THEREOF
                                       OF
                      SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
                                       OF
                            GLOBALOPTIONS GROUP, INC.

         GLOBALOPTIONS  GROUP, INC., a Nevada  corporation (the  "CORPORATION"),
pursuant  to the  provisions  of  Sections  78.195 and  78.1955 of Chapter 78 of
Nevada Revised  Statutes,  does hereby make this  Certificate of Designation and
does hereby state and certify that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in
the Board of  Directors  of the  Corporation  (the  "BOARD") by the  Articles of
Incorporation of the  Corporation,  as amended to date (the  "ARTICLES"),  which
authorizes  the issuance of  15,000,000  shares of preferred  stock,  $0.001 par
value per share,  in one or more series,  the Board duly  adopted the  following
resolutions,  which  resolutions  remain in full force and effect as of the date
hereof:

         RESOLVED,  that,  pursuant  to Article IV, of the  Articles,  the Board
hereby authorizes the issuance of, and fixes the designation and preferences and
relative, participating,  optional and other special rights, and qualifications,
limitations and restrictions,  of a series of preferred stock of the Corporation
consisting  of 60,000  shares,  par value  $0.001  per share,  to be  designated
"Series B Convertible  Preferred  Stock"  (hereinafter,  the "SERIES B PREFERRED
STOCK"); and be it

         RESOLVED,  that  each  share of Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall  rank
equally  in all  respects  and  shall be  subject  to the  following  terms  and
provisions:

         1.  DIVIDENDS.  The  holders of the Series B  Preferred  Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when, if and as declared by the Board, out of funds legally
available therefor, and as set forth below,  cumulative dividends payable as set
forth in this Section 1.

             (a) Dividends  on the Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall  accrue and
shall be  cumulative  from  the date  that is 18  months  following  the date of
original  issuance  of any shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock  (the  "DIVIDEND
COMMENCEMENT DATE"), whether or not declared by the Board. Until paid, the right
to receive dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall accumulate, and shall
be payable,  to the extent not  prohibited by applicable  law,  quarterly at the
option of the applicable  holder of the Series B Preferred  Stock in either cash
or in shares of the  Corporation's  Common  Stock (the "COMMON  STOCK"),  as set
forth below, in arrears,  on March 31, June 30,  September 30 and December 31 of
each year (each, a "DIVIDEND  PAYMENT  DATE"),  commencing on the first Dividend
Payment Date  following the Dividend  Commencement  Date (the "INITIAL  DIVIDEND
PAYMENT DATE") except that if such Dividend  Payment Date is not a business day,
then the Dividend Payment Date will be the immediately  preceding  business day.
The dividend  due on any  Dividend  Payment Date shall be paid to each holder of
Series B Preferred  Stock in cash  unless such holder  shall elect in writing to
receive  such  dividend in shares of Common  Stock as set forth in Section  1(e)




below. If a holder of Series B Preferred Stock elects to receive the dividend in
shares of Common Stock, the Corporation  shall set aside a sufficient  number of
shares of Common  Stock for the  payment of such  declared  dividends  and shall
deliver certificates  representing such shares of Common Stock to the applicable
holders of shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock as of the  record  date for such
dividend in payment of such declared  dividends  within five business days after
such  Dividend  Payment Date.  Each such  dividend  declared by the Board on the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid to the holders of record of shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation
on the record date which  shall be the  business  day next  preceding a Dividend
Payment Date (each, a "RECORD DATE"). Dividends in arrears for any past dividend
period may be declared by the Board and paid on shares of the Series B Preferred
Stock on any date fixed by the Board,  whether or not a regular Dividend Payment
Date,  to holders of record of shares of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock as they
appear on the  Corporation's  stock  register on the Record  Date.  Any dividend
payment  made on shares of the Series B Preferred  Stock shall first be credited
against the dividends  accumulated with respect to the earliest  dividend period
for which dividends have not been paid. If a dividend is to be paid in shares of
Common  Stock,  the Common  Stock shall be valued at the Common  Stock  Dividend
Price (as defined below). In furtherance  thereof, the Corporation shall reserve
out of the authorized but unissued  shares of Common Stock,  solely for issuance
in respect of the payment of dividends as herein described,  a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock to pay such dividends, when, if and as declared by the
Board of the Corporation.  If any dividends are not paid on any Dividend Payment
Date because such payment is prohibited by applicable law, the Corporation shall
pay such dividends  promptly following such time as such payment would no longer
be prohibited by applicable law.

             (b) DIVIDEND PERIODS; DIVIDEND RATE; CALCULATION OF DIVIDENDS.

                 (i)   DIVIDEND PERIODS. The dividend periods (each, a "DIVIDEND
         PERIOD") shall be as follows:  The initial  Dividend Period shall begin
         on the  Dividend  Commencement  Date  and end on the  Initial  Dividend
         Payment Date, and each Dividend Period thereafter shall commence on the
         day following the last day of the preceding  Dividend  Period and shall
         end on the next Dividend Payment Date.

                 (ii)  DIVIDEND  RATE. The dividend rate on each share of Series
         B Preferred  Stock (the "DIVIDEND  RATE"),  to be paid per annum on the
         Liquidation Preference (as defined below) shall be as follows:

                       (A)  From the Dividend  Commencement  Date until the date
             that is twelve  (12) months  following  the  Dividend  Commencement
             Date, the Dividend Rate shall be 6%; and

                       (B)  From and after the date that is twelve  (12)  months
             following the Dividend  Commencement  Date, the Dividend Rate shall
             be 8%.

                 (iii) CALCULATION OF DIVIDENDS.

                       (A)  The  amount  of  dividends  per  share  of  Series B
             Preferred  Stock payable for each  Dividend  Period or part thereof
             shall be computed by multiplying the Liquidation  Preference by the


                                       2


             Dividend  Factors  (as  defined  below) for all  Dividend  Rates in
             effect during the Dividend Period or part thereof.

                       (B)  The  "Dividend  Factor"  for each  Dividend  Rate in
             effect from time to time shall be that Dividend Rate  multiplied by
             a  fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the number of days in the
             applicable  Dividend  Period or part  thereof on which both (1) the
             share of  Series B  Preferred  Stock  was  outstanding  and (2) the
             Dividend Rate was in effect, and the denominator of which is 365.

             "CURRENT  MARKET  PRICE"  means,  in respect of any share of Common
Stock on any date herein specified:

                 (1)   if  there  shall  not then be a  public  market  for the
             Common Stock,  the higher of (a) the book value per share of Common
             Stock at such  date,  and (b) the fair  market  value  per share of
             Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board, or

                 (2)   if there  shall  then be a public  market for the Common
             Stock, (i) the closing bid price on such day on the principal stock
             exchange  (including  Nasdaq)  on which such  Common  Stock is then
             listed or admitted to trading, or quoted, as applicable, (ii) if no
             sale  takes  place  on such  day on any  such  exchange,  the  last
             reported closing bid price on such day as officially  quoted on any
             such exchange (including Nasdaq),  (iii) if the Common Stock is not
             then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange,  the last
             reported  closing  bid  price on such  day in the  over-the-counter
             market,  as  furnished by the National  Association  of  Securities
             Dealers Automatic Quotation System or the Pink Sheets LLC (formerly
             the  National  Quotation  Bureau,   Inc.),  (iv)  if  neither  such
             corporation  at the time is engaged in the  business  of  reporting
             such prices,  as furnished by any similar firm then engaged in such
             business,  or (v) if there is no such  firm,  as  furnished  by any
             member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
             "NASD") selected  mutually by holders of a majority of the Series B
             Preferred  Stock and the  Corporation or, if they cannot agree upon
             such selection, as selected by two such members of the NASD, one of
             which  shall be  selected  by holders of a majority of the Series B
             Preferred  Stock  and  one  of  which  shall  be  selected  by  the
             Corporation.

             "COMMON  STOCK  DIVIDEND  PRICE"  means the  average of the Current
Market Prices pursuant to paragraph 2 of the definition  thereof,  over a period
beginning  on the trading day that is twenty (20) trading days prior to the date
of a Dividend  Election Notice (as defined below) and ending on the date of such
Dividend Election Notice.

             (c) No dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment
on the shares of Common  Stock or any other class or series of capital  stock of
the Corporation that is not expressly senior to or pari passu in dividend rights
with the Series B Preferred Stock for any dividend period unless full cumulative
dividends have been or  contemporaneously  are declared and paid on the Series B
Preferred Stock through the most recent Dividend Payment Date.


                                       3


Without prejudice to the foregoing,  if full cumulative  dividends have not been
paid on  shares  of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock  and any  class or series of
capital stock of the Corporation that is expressly pari passu in dividend rights
to the Series B Preferred Stock ("PARI PASSU STOCK"),  all dividends declared on
shares of the Series B  Preferred  Stock and the Pari Passu  Stock shall be paid
pro rata to the holders of  outstanding  shares of the Series B Preferred  Stock
and  outstanding  shares of such Pari  Passu  Stock.  The  Series A  Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company (the "SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK") is junior in all
respects to the Series B Preferred Stock.

             (d) The holders of the Series B  Preferred  Stock shall be entitled
to receive any dividends or other  distributions  from the Corporation  that are
declared on the Common Stock,  in which case holders of Series B Preferred Stock
shall each be entitled to receive,  on an As-Converted  Basis (as defined below,
but without  regard to the  Beneficial  Ownership Cap  limitations  set forth in
Section 5(g)  hereof),  any  dividends or  distributions  (other than  dividends
payable solely in additional Common Stock) declared by the Board and paid to the
holders of Common Stock,  out of any assets  legally  available  therefor,  pari
passu with the amount of such  dividends  to be  distributed  to the  holders of
Common  Stock   immediately  prior  to  the  declaration  of  such  dividend  or
distribution. "AS-CONVERTED BASIS" means, as of the time of determination, that,
solely  for the  purpose  of  determining  the  applicable  right  (and  without
limitation  to any  rights  of the  Series  B  Preferred  Stock),  the  Series B
Preferred  Stock shall be treated as if such  Series B Preferred  Stock had been
converted  into that number of shares of Common Stock which a holder of Series B
Preferred  Stock  would hold if all shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock held by
such holder were  converted  into shares of Common  Stock  pursuant to Section 5
hereof at the then applicable Conversion Value (as defined below).

             (e) If a holder  of Series B  Preferred  Stock  elects  to  receive
payment of the  dividends  payable on any  Dividend  Payment Date in the form of
Common Stock, then such holder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice
of such election (a "DIVIDEND  ELECTION  NOTICE") no later than the date that is
thirty (30) days prior to the  applicable  Dividend  Payment Date. It shall be a
condition  of the payment of such  dividends in shares of Common Stock that such
Dividend Election Notice shall contain a representation by such holder that such
holder has not traded in the Common Stock  during the period that begins  twenty
(20) trading days prior to the date of the Dividend  Election Notice and ends on
the date of the Dividend Election Notice.

         2.  VOTING RIGHTS.

             (a) Except as otherwise  provided herein or as provided by law, the
holders of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall  have full  voting  rights and
powers,  subject to the Beneficial  Ownership Cap as defined in Section 5(g), if
applicable, equal to the voting rights and powers of holders of Common Stock and
shall be entitled to notice of any  stockholders  meeting in accordance with the
Bylaws of the  Corporation,  and shall be entitled to vote,  with respect to any
question  upon which  holders of Common Stock are  entitled to vote,  including,
without  limitation,  the right to vote for the  election of  directors,  voting
together with the holders of Common Stock as one class. Each holder of shares of
Series B Preferred  Stock shall be  entitled to vote on an  As-Converted  Basis,
determined  on the  record  date  for  the  taking  of a  vote,  subject  to the
applicable  Beneficial  Ownership Cap limitations set forth in Section 5(g), or,
if no  record  date is  established,  at the day  prior to the date such vote is
taken or any written consent of stockholders is first executed. Fractional votes
shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from


                                       4


the above formula  (after  aggregating  all shares into which shares of Series B
Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted)  shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

             (b) In the event that the holders of the Series B  Preferred  Stock
are  required to vote as a class,  the  affirmative  vote of holders of not less
than a majority of the  outstanding  shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
required  to approve  each such  matter to be voted  upon,  and if any matter is
approved by such  requisite  percentage of holders of Series B Preferred  Stock,
such matter shall bind all holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

         3.  RIGHTS ON LIQUIDATION.

             (a) In the  event  of any  voluntary  or  involuntary  liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation  (any such event being  hereinafter
referred  to as a  "LIQUIDATION"),  the  holders  of record of the shares of the
Series B Preferred  Stock shall be  entitled to receive,  immediately  after any
distributions  required by the  Corporation's  Articles of Incorporation and any
certificate(s) of designation,  powers, preferences and rights in respect of any
securities of the Corporation  having priority over the Series B Preferred Stock
with  respect  to  the  distribution  of the  assets  of  the  Corporation  upon
Liquidation,  and before and in  preference  to any  distribution  or payment of
assets of the Corporation or the proceeds  thereof may be made or set apart with
respect  to the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  and any  other  securities  of the
Corporation over which the Series B Preferred Stock has priority with respect to
the  distribution of the assets of the  Corporation  upon  Liquidation  ("JUNIOR
SECURITIES"), an amount in cash with respect to each share of Series B Preferred
Stock held by such holders,  equal to $1,000 per share (subject to adjustment in
the event of stock splits,  combinations  or similar  events with respect to the
Series  B  Preferred  Stock)  (the  "LIQUIDATION  PREFERENCE").  If,  upon  such
Liquidation,  the assets of the  Corporation  available for  distribution to the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock and any securities of the Corporation having
equal  priority  with  the  Series  B  Preferred   Stock  with  respect  to  the
distribution  of  the  assets  of  the  Corporation  upon  Liquidation  ("PARITY
SECURITIES")  shall be  insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of
the Series B Preferred Stock and Parity  Securities,  then the entire assets and
funds of the Corporation  legally  available for distribution to such holders of
the Series B Preferred  Stock and Parity  Securities then  outstanding  shall be
distributed  ratably  among such  holders  based upon the  proportion  the total
amount  distributable  on each share  upon  liquidation  bears to the  aggregate
amount  available for distribution on all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock
and of such Parity Securities, if any.

             (b) Upon the completion of the distributions  required by paragraph
(a) of this  Section  3, if assets  remain  in the  Corporation,  they  shall be
distributed  to holders  of Series B  Preferred  Stock pro rata with  holders of
Junior Securities,  based on the number of shares of Common Stock into which the
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the then effective  Conversion  Value
(as defined below).

             (c) A Change of Control (as defined below) of the Corporation shall
not be deemed a  Liquidation,  but shall  instead  be  governed  by the terms of
Section 7 below.

         4.  ACTIONS  REQUIRING  THE  CONSENT OF  HOLDERS OF SERIES B  PREFERRED
STOCK.  As long as at least 25% of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued
on the date of original  issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the
"DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUE") remain  outstanding,  the consent of the holders of at


                                       5


least a  majority  of the  shares  of  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  at the  time
outstanding,  given in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation  and Bylaws
of the Corporation,  as amended,  shall be necessary for effecting or validating
any of the following  transactions or acts, whether by merger,  consolidation or
otherwise:

             (a) Any  amendment,   alteration  or  repeal  (whether  by  merger,
consolidation  or otherwise) of any of the  provisions  of this  Certificate  of
Designation, including any increase in the number of authorized shares of Series
B Preferred Stock;

             (b) Any  amendment,   alteration  or  repeal  (whether  by  merger,
consolidation  or  otherwise)  of (i) the  Articles  or (ii) the  Bylaws  of the
Corporation  that will adversely  affect the rights or privileges of the holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock;

             (c) The  authorization  or creation by the  Corporation  of, or the
increase in the number of authorized  shares of, any stock of any class,  or any
security  convertible into stock of any class, or the  authorization or creation
of any new class of preferred stock (or any action which would result in another
series of  preferred  stock),  in each  case,  ranking  in terms of  liquidation
preference,  redemption rights or dividend rights, pari passu with or senior to,
the Series B Preferred  Stock in any manner (any such securities pari passu with
the  Series  B  Preferred  Stock,  the  "PARI  PASSU  SECURITIES"  and any  such
securities senior to the Series B Preferred Stock, the "SENIOR SECURITIES");

             (d) The issuance of any securities  ranking in terms of liquidation
preference,  redemption rights or dividend rights, pari passu with or senior to,
the Series B Preferred Stock in any manner;

             (e) The  redemption,  purchase  or other  acquisition,  directly or
indirectly,  of any shares of  capital  stock of the  Corporation  or any of its
subsidiaries  or any  option,  warrant or other right to purchase or acquire any
such shares,  or any other such security,  other than pursuant to the repurchase
rights of the Corporation under options or restricted stock grants to directors,
employees or consultants of the Corporation,  in each case, granted under equity
incentive plans approved by the Board and other than Senior Securities  pursuant
to rights expressly set forth in reasonable  detail (with specific details as to
the terms of such redemption, puchase or other acquisition) in the terms of such
Senior  Securities  as approved  by the holders of the Series B Preferred  Stock
pursuant to Section 4(c);

             (f) The   declaration   or  payment  of  any   dividend   or  other
distribution (whether in cash, stock or other property, but excluding a split or
reverse  split with  respect to the Common  Stock)  with  respect to the capital
stock of the Corporation or any  subsidiary,  except for such dividends or other
distributions  on the Series B Preferred  Stock and except for such dividends or
other  distributions as are expressly set forth in reasonable detail (specifying
the nature, amounts and timing of payment of such dividends) in the terms of any
Pari Passu Securities or Senior Securities approved by the holders of the Series
B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(c); and

             (g) any  act or  thing  not  authorized  or  contemplated  by  this
Certificate  of  Designations  which would  result in taxation of the holders of
shares of the Series B Preferred Stock under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (or any  comparable  provision of the Internal  Revenue
Code as hereafter from time to time amended).


                                       6


         5.  CONVERSION.

             (a) RIGHT TO  CONVERT.  Subject  to the  limitations  set  forth in
Section  5(g)  hereof,  the holder of any share or shares of Series B  Preferred
Stock shall have the right at any time, at such holder's option,  to convert all
or any lesser portion of such holder's  shares of Series B Preferred  Stock into
such  number of fully  paid and  non-assessable  shares  of  Common  Stock as is
determined by dividing (i) the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the shares of
Series B Preferred  Stock to be  converted  plus  accrued  and unpaid  dividends
thereon and declared and unpaid  dividends  thereon by (ii) the Conversion Value
(as  defined  below)  then in  effect  for such  Series B  Preferred  Stock.  No
fractional shares or scrip  representing  fractional shares shall be issued upon
the conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock.  With respect to any fraction of
a share of Common Stock called for upon any conversion,  the  Corporation  shall
pay to the holder an amount in cash  equal to such  fraction  multiplied  by the
Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock.

             (b) MANDATORY  CONVERSION.  If a  Conversion  Triggering  Event (as
defined below) shall occur and within 5 business days following such occurrence,
the  Corporation  shall have  delivered  a written  notice to the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock (the "NOTICE") that the Corporation  intends to convert
all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, then, subject
to the  limitations  set forth in Section  5(g)  hereof,  as of the date that is
thirty  days  following  the date that  such  Notice  is given  (the  "MANDATORY
CONVERSION  DATE"),  the Series B Preferred  Stock shall be converted  into such
number of fully paid and non-assessable  shares of Common Stock as is determined
by dividing (i) the aggregate  Liquidation  Preference of the shares of Series B
Preferred  Stock to be converted plus accrued and unpaid  dividends  thereon and
declared and unpaid  dividends  thereon by (ii) the applicable  Conversion Value
(as  hereinafter  defined) then in effect for such Series B Preferred Stock (the
"MANDATORY  CONVERSION").  Nothing in this Section 5(b) shall be construed so as
to limit the right of a holder of Series B Preferred  Stock to convert  pursuant
to Section 5(a) at any time.

             "CONVERSION  TRIGGERING EVENT" shall mean, at any time after twelve
months after the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement),  such time
as:

                 (i)   the Current  Market Price (as determined by paragraph (2)
         of such  definition)  is  greater  than  $4.50 (as  adjusted  for stock
         splits,  reverse  splits,  stock  dividends  and the like)  for  twenty
         consecutive trading days;

                 (ii)  the trading  volume of the Common Stock on the applicable
         exchange  or market  for at least  fifteen  of the  twenty  consecutive
         trading  days  provided  in clause  (i) above is not less than  100,000
         shares per such  trading day (as  adjusted  for stock  splits,  reverse
         splits, stock dividends and the like); and

                 (iii) the  Registration   Statement  (as  hereinafter  defined)
         covering  all of the  shares of Common  Stock  into  which the Series B
         Preferred  Stock is  convertible  is  effective  and  sales may be made
         pursuant  thereto (or all of the shares of Common  Stock into which the
         Series B Preferred Stock is convertible may be sold without restriction
         pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated by the Securities


                                       7


         and Exchange  Commission  under the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended
         (the "SECURITIES ACT")).

             "REGISTRATION  STATEMENT" shall have the meaning established in the
Investor Rights  Agreement dated on or about the filing date of this Certificate
of Designation  (the "FILING DATE"),  by and among the Corporation and the other
parties signatory thereto.

             (c) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.

                 (i)   Such   right  of   conversion   (other   than   mandatory
         conversion)  shall be  exercised  by the  holder  of shares of Series B
         Preferred Stock by delivering to the Corporation a conversion notice in
         the form  attached  hereto  as  EXHIBIT  A (the  "CONVERSION  NOTICE"),
         appropriately  completed and duly signed and  specifying  the number of
         shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock that the holder  elects to convert
         (the "CONVERTING SHARES") into shares of Common Stock, and by surrender
         not later than two (2) business days  thereafter of the  certificate or
         certificates representing such Converting Shares. The Conversion Notice
         shall also contain a statement of the name or names (with addresses and
         tax identification or social security numbers) in which the certificate
         or  certificates  for Common  Stock shall be issued,  if other than the
         name in which the Converting Shares are registered.  Promptly after the
         receipt of the  Conversion  Notice,  the  Corporation  shall  issue and
         deliver,  or cause to be  delivered,  to the  holder of the  Converting
         Shares or such holder's nominee,  a certificate or certificates for the
         number of shares of Common Stock  issuable upon the  conversion of such
         Converting  Shares.  Such  conversion  shall  be  deemed  to have  been
         effected  as of the close of  business  on the date of  receipt  by the
         Corporation of the Conversion Notice (the "CONVERSION  DATE"),  and the
         person or  persons  entitled  to  receive  the  shares of Common  Stock
         issuable  upon  conversion  shall be treated  for all  purposes  as the
         holder or  holders of record of such  shares of Common  Stock as of the
         close of business on the Conversion Date.

                 (ii)  The Corporation shall issue certificates representing the
         shares of Common Stock to be received  upon  conversion of the Series B
         Preferred  Stock  (the  "CONVERSION   SHARES")  (and  certificates  for
         unconverted Series B Preferred Stock) within three (3) business days of
         the Conversion Date and shall transmit the certificates by messenger or
         reputable overnight delivery service to reach the address designated by
         such holder  within  three (3)  business  days after the receipt by the
         Corporation of such Conversion  Notice. If certificates  evidencing the
         Conversion  Shares  are not  received  by the  holder  within  five (5)
         business  days  of the  Conversion  Notice,  then  the  holder  will be
         entitled to revoke and withdraw its Conversion  Notice,  in whole or in
         part, at any time prior to its receipt of those  certificates.  In lieu
         of delivering physical certificates  representing the Conversion Shares
         or in  payment  of  dividends  hereunder,  provided  the  Corporation's
         transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
         Fast Automated  Securities  Transfer ("FAST") program,  upon request of
         the holder,  the  Corporation  shall use its reasonable best efforts to
         cause its transfer  agent to  electronically  transmit the Common Stock
         issuable  upon  conversion  or  dividend  payment  to  the  holder,  by
         crediting the account of the holder's prime broker with DTC through its
         Deposit  Withdrawal Agent Commission  ("DWAC") system. The time periods
         for  delivery  described  above,  and for  delivery of Common  Stock in
         payment of dividends hereunder, shall apply to the


                                       8


         electronic  transmittals  through the DWAC system. The parties agree to
         coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective. The person or persons
         entitled  to receive the Common  Stock  issuable  upon such  conversion
         shall be treated for all  purposes  as the record  holder or holders of
         such Common Shares at the close of business on the Conversion  Date. If
         the conversion has not been rescinded in accordance with this paragraph
         and the Corporation  intentionally or willfully fails to deliver to the
         holder  such  certificate  or  certificates  (or  shares  through  DTC)
         pursuant  to this  Section 5 (free of any  restrictions  on transfer or
         legends,  if such shares have been registered) in accordance  herewith,
         prior to the seventh  trading day after the  Conversion  Date (assuming
         timely  surrender of the Series B Preferred  Stock  certificates),  the
         Corporation  shall pay to such holder, in cash, on a per diem basis, an
         amount  equal  to 2% of the  Liquidation  Preference  of all  Series  B
         Preferred Stock held by such holder per month until such delivery takes
         place.

                 (iii) The  Corporation's  obligation to issue Common Stock upon
         conversion  of  Series  B  Preferred   Stock  shall  be  absolute,   is
         independent of any covenant of any holder of Series B Preferred  Stock,
         and shall not be  subject  to: (A) any  offset or  defense;  or (B) any
         claims against the holders of Series B Preferred Stock whether pursuant
         to this  Certificate  of  Designation,  the  Convertible  Note Purchase
         Agreement dated on or about the Filing Date (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
         the Investor Rights Agreement, the Warrants or otherwise.

                 (iv)  Subject to the  provisions  of Section 5(g), in the event
         that a Conversion Triggering Event has occurred and the Corporation has
         given the Notice as required by Section 5(b),  all the shares of Series
         B Preferred  Stock shall be converted on the Mandatory  Conversion Date
         as if the  holders  thereof  had  delivered  a  Conversion  Notice with
         respect to such shares on such date. Promptly  thereafter,  the holders
         of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall  deliver  their  certificates
         evidencing the Series B Preferred  Stock to the Corporation or its duly
         authorized  transfer agent, and upon receipt  thereof,  the Corporation
         shall  issue or cause  its  transfer  agent to issue  and  deliver  the
         certificates evidencing the Common Stock into which the shares Series B
         Preferred   Stock  have  been  converted  in  accordance  with  Section
         5(c)(ii).

             (d) BENEFICIAL  OWNERSHIP  CAP.  To the  extent  that any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are not automatically  converted upon the occurrence of
a Mandatory  Conversion  on account of the  application  of Section  5(g),  such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed converted automatically under
this  Section 5 at the first  moment  thereafter  when  Section  5(g)  would not
prevent  such  conversion.  Notwithstanding  the  preceding  sentence,  upon the
occurrence  of the  Mandatory  Conversion,  the  right to:  (a) the  Liquidation
Preference of the Series B Preferred Stock, including,  without limitation,  the
right to be treated as  holders  of Series B  Preferred  Stock in the event of a
merger or consolidation;  (b) the veto rights described in Section 4 hereof; and
(c) the right to receive  dividends  pursuant  to Section 1 hereof  (other  than
unpaid  dividends  accrued  as of the  date  of  such  Mantatory  Conversion  or
dividends payable pursuant to Section 1(d)) shall cease immediately.

             (e) CONVERSION VALUE. The initial conversion value for the Series B
Preferred  Stock  shall be $2.00,  such  value to be subject  to  adjustment  in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 5. Such conversion value in


                                       9


effect from time to time, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, is referred to
herein as a "CONVERSION VALUE." All of the remaining  provisions of this Section
5 shall apply  separately to each  Conversion  Value in effect from time to time
with respect to Series B Preferred Stock.

             (f) STOCK DIVIDENDS,  SUBDIVISIONS AND COMBINATIONS. If at any time
prior to the Date of  Original  Issue or while the Series B  Preferred  Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall:

                 (i)   cause the  holders of its Common  Stock to be entitled to
         receive a dividend  payable in, or other  distribution  of,  additional
         shares of Common Stock,

                 (ii)  subdivide its  outstanding  shares of Common Stock into a
         larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

                 (iii) combine  its  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock into a
         smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then in each such case the Conversion Value shall be multiplied by a fraction of
which the  numerator  shall be the number of shares of Common  Stock  (excluding
treasury shares, if any) outstanding  immediately before such event and of which
the  denominator  shall be the  number of shares  of  Common  Stock  outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this
Paragraph 5(f) shall become effective  immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution,
and any  adjustment  pursuant to clauses  (ii) or (iii) of this  Paragraph  5(f)
shall become effective  immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs
during the period that a  Conversion  Value is  calculated  hereunder,  then the
calculation of such Conversion Value shall be adjusted  appropriately to reflect
such event.

             (g) BLOCKING PROVISION.

                 (i)   Except as provided otherwise in this Section 5(g)(i), the
         number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by any holder, and the
         number of shares of Series B Preferred  Stock that shall be entitled to
         voting rights under Section 2(a) hereof, shall be limited to the extent
         necessary  to  insure  that,   following  such  conversion  (or  deemed
         conversion for voting  purposes),  the number of shares of Common Stock
         then beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates and any other
         persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be
         aggregated  with the  holder's  for  purposes  of Section  13(d) of the
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") (including shares
         held by any "group" of which the holder is a member, but, for avoidance
         of doubt,  excluding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
         exercise  of  securities  or rights  to  acquire  securities  that have
         limitations  on the right to convert,  exercise or purchase  similar to
         the  limitation  set forth  herein)  does not exceed 4.99% of the total
         number of shares of Common  Stock of the  Corporation  then  issued and
         outstanding  (the  "BENEFICIAL  OWNERSHIP  CAP").  For purposes hereof,
         "group" has the meaning set forth in Section  13(d) of the Exchange Act
         and applicable regulations of the Securities


                                       10


         and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be
         determined in a manner  consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d)
         of the Exchange  Act. As used herein,  the term  "AFFILIATE"  means any
         person or entity  that,  directly  or  indirectly  through  one or more
         intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control
         with a person or entity,  as such terms are used in and construed under
         Rule 144 under the Securities Act. With respect to a holder of Series B
         Preferred Stock, any investment fund or managed account that is managed
         on a discretionary  basis by the same investment manager as such holder
         will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such  holder.  Each  delivery of a
         Conversion  Notice  by a  holder  of  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  will
         constitute a  representation  by such Holder that it has  evaluated the
         limitation set forth in this paragraph and  determined,  subject to the
         accuracy of information filed under the Securities Act and the Exchange
         Act by the Corporation with respect to the outstanding  Common Stock of
         the  Corporation,  that the  issuance  of the full  number of shares of
         Common Stock  requested in such  Conversion  Notice is permitted  under
         this paragraph.  This paragraph shall be construed and  administered in
         such  manner  as  shall be  consistent  with the  intent  of the  first
         sentence of this paragraph.  Any provision hereof which would require a
         result that is not consistent  with such intent shall be deemed severed
         herefrom  and of no force or  effect  with  respect  to the  conversion
         contemplated by a particular Conversion Notice.

                 (ii)  In the event the  Corporation is prohibited  from issuing
         shares of Common Stock as a result of any  restrictions or prohibitions
         under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange,
         interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization, the
         Corporation  shall  as  soon  as  possible  seek  the  approval  of its
         stockholders  and take such other action to  authorize  the issuance of
         the full  number  of  shares of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon the full
         conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

                 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5(g),
         any holder of Series B  Preferred  Stock  shall have the right prior to
         the Closing  Date (as defined in the Purchase  Agreement)  upon written
         notice to the Corporation, or after the Closing Date (as defined in the
         Purchase  Agreement)  upon  (x) 61 days  prior  written  notice  to the
         Corporation  or (y) upon a Change of Control the terms of which require
         the  conversion of the Series B Preferred  Stock into Common Stock,  to
         choose not to be  governed by the  Beneficial  Ownership  Cap  provided
         herein.

             (h) COMMON  STOCK  RESERVED.  The  Corporation  shall at all  times
reserve and keep  available  out of its  authorized  but unissued  Common Stock,
solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as
herein  provided,  such  number of shares of Common  Stock as shall from time to
time be  issuable  upon the  conversion  of all the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at the time  outstanding  (without  regard  to any  ownership  limitations
provided in Section 5(g)).

             (i) ADJUSTMENT UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

                 (i)   ADJUSTMENT TO CONVERSION  VALUE.  If at any time prior to
         the Date of  Original  Issue or while any Series B  Preferred  Stock is
         outstanding the Corporation  shall issue or sell any additional  shares


                                       11


         of  Common   Stock   ("ADDITIONAL   COMMON   STOCK")  in  exchange  for
         consideration  in an amount per share of  Additional  Common Stock less
         than the Conversion  Value at the time the shares of Additional  Common
         Stock are issued or sold,  then,  subject to Section 5(i)(v) below, the
         Conversion  Value  immediately  prior to such  issue  or sale  shall be
         reduced to a price determined by dividing:

                       (1)  an  amount  equal  to the sum of (a) the  number  of
             shares of Common Stock outstanding  immediately prior to such issue
             or sale multiplied by the then existing  Conversion Value, plus (b)
             the  consideration,  if any,  received by the Corporation upon such
             issue or sale; by

                       (2)  the  total   number   of  shares  of  Common   Stock
             outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.

                 (ii)  ISSUANCE  OF  COMMON  STOCK  EQUIVALENTS.  If at any time
         prior to the Date of  Original  Issue or while the  Series B  Preferred
         Stock is outstanding the  Corporation  shall issue or sell any warrants
         or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any  additional  shares of
         Common Stock  (regardless  of the number of shares of Common Stock that
         the  Corporation  is  then  authorized  to  issue)  or  any  securities
         convertible,  directly  or  indirectly,  into  shares of  Common  Stock
         (collectively,  "COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS"),  whether or not the rights
         to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable,  and the
         effective  price per share for which Common Stock is issuable  upon the
         exercise,  exchange or conversion of such Common Stock Equivalents (the
         "COMMON  STOCK  EQUIVALENT  PRICE")  shall  be less  than  the  current
         Conversion Value in effect  immediately prior to the time of such issue
         or sale,  then the  current  Conversion  Value  shall  be  adjusted  as
         provided in Section 5(i)(i) on the basis that the additional  shares of
         Common Stock  issuable  pursuant to all such Common  Stock  Equivalents
         shall be deemed to have been  issued  at the  Common  Stock  Equivalent
         Price,  as of the date of the  actual  issuance  of such  Common  Stock
         Equivalents.  No further  adjustments to the current  Conversion  Value
         shall be made under  this  Section  5(i) upon the actual  issue of such
         Common Stock upon the  exercise,  conversion or exchange of such Common
         Stock Equivalents.

                 (iii) CERTAIN   ISSUES   OF  COMMON   STOCK  OR  COMMON   STOCK
         EQUIVALENTS EXCEPTED.  The provisions of Paragraph 5(j) shall not apply
         to any issuance of  Additional  Common Stock for which an adjustment is
         provided under Paragraph 5(f). The Corporation shall not be required to
         make any adjustment of the Conversion  Value pursuant to Paragraph 5(j)
         in the case of the issuance (each, an "EXEMPT  ISSUANCE") of (A) shares
         of Common  Stock  issued as  dividends  with  respect  to the  Series B
         Preferred  Stock,  (B) shares of Common Stock  issued or issuable  upon
         conversion of any convertible  securities outstanding as of the Closing
         Date in  accordance  with the terms  thereof on the Closing  Date,  (C)
         shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in connection
         with any stock-based  compensation plans of the Corporation approved by
         the  stockholders of the Corporation and the Board including all (which
         shall be at least three) independent directors,  which shall not in the
         aggregate exceed 20% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common
         Stock, (D) shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock purchase
         warrants (the  "WARRANTS")  issuable  upon  conversion of the Notes (as


                                       12


         defined in the Purchase Agreement) and conversion of the Existing Notes
         (as  defined  in the  Purchase  Agreement)  or shares  of Common  Stock
         issuable  upon  conversion  of the  Series  B  Preferred  Stock or upon
         exercise  of  the  Warrants,   (E)  securities  or  rights  to  acquire
         securities   issued  to  financial   institutions  in  connection  with
         commercial   credit   arrangements,   equipment   financings,   service
         agreements  or  similar  transactions  approved  by the  Board  and the
         primary  purpose of which is not equity  financing or (F) securities or
         rights to  acquire  securities  issued  in  connection  with  strategic
         collaborations,  development  agreements,  joint  ventures or licensing
         transactions, the terms of which are approved by the Board.

                 (iv)  SUPERSEDING  ADJUSTMENT.   If,  at  any  time  after  any
         adjustment  to the  current  Conversion  Value  shall  have  been  made
         pursuant to Section  5(i) as the result of any issuance of Common Stock
         Equivalents,  (x) the right to exercise, exchange or convert all of the
         Common  Stock  Equivalents  shall  expire   unexercised,   or  (y)  the
         conversion rate or  consideration  per share for which shares of Common
         Stock are issuable  pursuant to such Common Stock  Equivalents shall be
         increased  solely by  virtue of  provisions  therein  contained  for an
         automatic  increase in such conversion rate or consideration per share,
         as the case may be, upon the  occurrence of a specified  date or event,
         then,  unless any of such Common Stock Equivalents have previously been
         converted  or  exercised  at the  original  price,  any  such  previous
         adjustments to the Conversion Value shall be rescinded and annulled and
         the  additional  shares of Common  Stock which were deemed to have been
         issued  by  virtue  of the  computation  made in  connection  with  the
         adjustment so rescinded and annulled  shall no longer be deemed to have
         been issued by virtue of such  computation.  Upon the  occurrence of an
         event  set  forth in this  Section  5(i)(iv)  above,  there  shall be a
         recomputation  made of the effect of such Common Stock  Equivalents  on
         the basis of treating  any such  Common  Stock  Equivalents  which then
         remain  outstanding as having been granted or issued  immediately after
         the time of such increase of the conversion rate or  consideration  per
         share for which shares of Common  Stock or other  property are issuable
         under such Common Stock Equivalents;  whereupon a new adjustment to the
         current  Conversion  Value shall be made,  which new  adjustment  shall
         supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

                 (v)   If an adjustment to the Conversion  Value pursuant to the
         formula set forth in Section 5(i)(i) above would result in a Conversion
         Value of less  than  $0.765  (as  adjusted  for stock  splits,  reverse
         splits,  stock dividends and the like), then the Conversion value shall
         be  $0.765  (as  adjusted  for  stock  splits,  reverse  splits,  stock
         dividends and the like).

         6.  OTHER   PROVISIONS   APPLICABLE  TO   ADJUSTMENTS.   The  following
provisions  shall be  applicable to the making of  adjustments  of the number of
shares of Common  Stock into which the Series B Preferred  Stock is  convertible
and the current Conversion Value provided for in Section 5:

             (a) WHEN  ADJUSTMENTS  TO BE  MADE.  The  adjustments  required  by
Section 5 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified  event  requiring
an adjustment  shall occur,  except that any adjustment to the Conversion  Value
that would  otherwise  be  required  may be  postponed  (except in the case of a


                                       13


subdivision  or  combination  of shares of the Common Stock,  as provided for in
Section  5(f)) up to,  but not  beyond the  Conversion  Date if such  adjustment
either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts
less than 1% of the shares of Common  Stock  into  which the Series B  Preferred
Stock is convertible  immediately  prior to the making of such  adjustment.  Any
adjustment  representing  a change of less than such minimum  amount  (except as
aforesaid)  which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such
adjustment,  together  with  other  adjustments  required  by  Section 5 and not
previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the Conversion Date.
For the purpose of any  adjustment,  any specified event shall be deemed to have
occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

             (b) FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. In computing adjustments under Section 5,
fractional  interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest
1/100th of a share.

             (c) ESCROW OF STOCK.  If after any property  becomes  distributable
pursuant  to Section 5 by reason of the  taking of any record of the  holders of
Common Stock,  but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is
taken,  a holder of the Series B Preferred  Stock  either  converts the Series B
Preferred  Stock or there is a Mandatory  Conversion  during such period or such
holder is unable to convert  shares  pursuant  to Section  5(g),  such holder of
Series B Preferred  Stock shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of
Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  under  Section  5 by  reason  of such
adjustment (as if such Series B Preferred Stock were not yet converted) and such
shares or other  property shall be held in escrow for the holder of the Series B
Preferred  Stock by the  Corporation  to be issued  to  holder  of the  Series B
Preferred  Stock upon and to the extent  that the event  actually  takes  place.
Notwithstanding  any other  provision to the contrary  herein,  if the event for
which such record was taken fails to occur or is  rescinded,  then such escrowed
shares shall be canceled by the  Corporation and escrowed  property  returned to
the Corporation.

         7.  MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

             (a) If,  after  the  Closing  Date  (as  defined  in  the  Purchase
Agreement)  and  while any  share or  shares  of  Series B  Preferred  Stock are
outstanding,  there  occurs,  other  than as a result of the sale of  securities
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement: (i) an acquisition by an individual or legal
entity or group (as set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of more than
50% of the voting rights or equity interests in the Corporation,  whether in one
transaction  or in a  series  of  related  transactions  or  (ii)  a  merger  or
consolidation of the Corporation or a sale, transfer or other disposition of all
or substantially all the Corporation's  property,  assets or business to another
corporation  where the holders of the  Corporation's  voting securities prior to
such  transaction  fail to continue to hold at least 50% of the voting  power of
the Corporation  and such  transaction is approved by the Board (each, a "CHANGE
OF CONTROL"),  and,  pursuant to the terms of such Change of Control,  shares of
common stock of the successor or acquiring  corporation,  or any cash, shares of
stock or other  securities  or  property  of any  nature  whatsoever  (including
warrants or other  subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("MERGER CONSIDERATION"),
are to be  received  by or  distributed  to the  holders of Common  Stock of the
Corporation  then the  successor  or  acquiring  corporation  (if other than the
Corporation)  shall assume the Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(b)
below  unless the  Corporation  provides  for all of the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock to receive the Merger  Consideration on an As-Converted Basis in


                                       14


exchange  for  such  holders'  shares  of  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  upon the
consummation  of such  Change of  Control  transaction;  PROVIDED  THAT any such
exchange may only be effected by the  Corporation  in such a manner that it does
not cause any holder of the Series B Preferred  Stock and its Affiliates and any
other persons or entities whose  beneficial  ownership  would be aggregated with
the holder's for purposes of Section  13(d) of the Exchange Act to hold a higher
percentage  of any  class  or  series  of a  company's  capital  stock  that  is
registered  pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act than such holder would be
permitted to hold of the Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(g) hereof.

             (b) Unless  all of the  shares  of  Series B  Preferred  Stock  are
exchanged for the Merger  Consideration  as set forth in Section 7(a) above,  in
case of any such Change of Control,  the successor or acquiring  corporation (if
other  than  the  Corporation)  shall  expressly  assume  the due  and  punctual
observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of contained
in  this  Certificate  of  Designation  to be  performed  and  observed  by  the
Corporation and all the obligations and liabilities  hereunder,  subject to such
modifications  as may be deemed  appropriate (as determined by resolution of the
Board) in order to provide for  adjustments  of shares of the Common  Stock into
which the  Series B  Preferred  Stock is  convertible  which  shall be as nearly
equivalent  as  practicable  to the  adjustments  provided for in Section 5. For
purposes of Section 5, common stock of the  successor  or acquiring  corporation
shall include stock of such  corporation  of any class which is not preferred as
to  dividends  or assets on  liquidation  over any other  class of stock of such
corporation  and which is not subject to  redemption  and shall also include any
evidences  of  indebtedness,  shares  of  stock or other  securities  which  are
convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock,  either immediately or upon
the arrival of a specified  date or the  happening of a specified  event and any
warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.

             (c) The  foregoing  provisions  of this  Section 7 shall  similarly
apply to successive Change of Control transactions.

         8.  OTHER ACTION  AFFECTING  COMMON STOCK.  In case at any time or from
time to time the  Corporation  shall  take any  action in  respect of its Common
Stock,  other than the payment of dividends  permitted by Section 5 or any other
action  described  in  Section  5,  then,  unless  such  action  will not have a
materially  adverse  effect  upon the rights of the holder of Series B Preferred
Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which the Series
B Preferred  Stock is  convertible  and/or the purchase  price  thereof shall be
adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances.

         9.  CERTAIN  LIMITATIONS.   Notwithstanding   anything  herein  to  the
contrary,  the Corporation  agrees not to enter into any transaction or take any
other  action  which,  by reason of any  adjustment  hereunder,  would cause the
current  Conversion  Value to be less  than the par  value  per  share of Common
Stock.


                                       15


         10. COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION.  The Corporation covenants and agrees
that,  so long as shares of Series B Preferred  Stock are  outstanding,  it will
perform the obligations set forth in this Section 10:

             (a) TAXES  AND  LEVIES.  The  Corporation  will  promptly  pay  and
discharge all taxes,  assessments,  and  governmental  charges or levies imposed
upon  the  Corporation  or upon  its  income  and  profits,  or upon  any of its
property,  before the same shall  become  delinquent,  as well as all claims for
labor,  materials and supplies which,  if unpaid,  might become a lien or charge
upon  such  properties  or  any  part  thereof;  provided,   however,  that  the
Corporation shall not be required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment,
charge, levy or claim so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good
faith by  appropriate  proceedings  and the  Corporation  shall set aside on its
books  adequate  reserves  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  ("GAAP") with respect to any such tax,  assessment,  charge, levy or
claim so contested;

             (b) MAINTENANCE OF EXISTENCE.  The Corporation  will do or cause to
be done all things  reasonably  necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate  existence,  rights and franchises and comply with all laws
applicable to the Corporation, except where the failure to comply would not have
a material adverse effect on the Corporation;

             (c) MAINTENANCE  OF  PROPERTY.  The  Corporation  will at all times
maintain,  preserve, protect and keep its property used or useful in the conduct
of its business in good repair,  working order and  condition,  and from time to
time  make  all  needful  and  proper  repairs,   renewals,   replacements   and
improvements  thereto  as shall be  reasonably  required  in the  conduct of its
business;

             (d) INSURANCE.  The Corporation  will, to the extent  necessary for
the operation of its business,  keep  adequately  insured by  financially  sound
reputable  insurers,  all  property  of a character  usually  insured by similar
corporations  and carry such other  insurance  as is usually  carried by similar
corporations;

             (e) BOOKS AND RECORDS.  The Corporation will at all times keep true
and correct books,  records and accounts  reflecting all of its business affairs
and transactions materially in accordance with GAAP; and

             (f) NOTICE OF CERTAIN  EVENTS.  The  Corporation  will give  prompt
written  notice  (with a  description  in  reasonable  detail) to the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock in the event the Corporation shall:

                 (i)   become  insolvent or generally fail or be unable to pay,
         or admit in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due;

                 (ii)  apply for,  consent to, or acquiesce in, the appointment
         of a  trustee,  receiver,  sequestrator  or  other  custodian  for  the
         Corporation  or any of its property,  or make a general  assignment for
         the benefit of creditors;


                                       16


                 (iii) in the absence of such application, consent or acquiesce
         in, permit or suffer to exist the  appointment of a trustee,  receiver,
         sequestrator  or other custodian for the Corporation or for any part of
         its property;

                 (iv)  permit  or  suffer  to  exist  the  commencement  of any
         bankruptcy,   reorganization,   debt   arrangement  or  other  case  or
         proceeding  under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution,
         winding up or liquidation  proceeding,  in respect of the  Corporation,
         and, if such case or proceeding is not commenced by the  Corporation or
         converted  to a  voluntary  case,  such  case or  proceeding  shall  be
         consented to or acquiesced in by the Corporation or shall result in the
         entry of an order for relief;

                 (v)   enter into any  agreement to merge or  consolidate  with
         any other person or sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of
         its assets to any other person; or

                 (vi)  declare any split of its  outstanding  shares of capital
         stock,  declare or make any  dividend or  distribution,  or  subdivide,
         reclassify or combine any of its outstanding shares of capital stock.

             (g) OTHER NOTICES.  The Corporation shall distribute to the holders
of the Series B Preferred  Stock all  communications  sent by the Corporation to
the holders of the Common Stock.

         11. CERTIFICATE  AS  TO  ADJUSTMENTS.   Upon  the  occurrence  of  each
adjustment or  readjustment of the Conversion  Value,  the  Corporation,  at its
expense,  shall promptly  compute such  adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the  terms  hereof  and  prepare  and  furnish  to each  holder of Series B
Preferred Stock a certificate  setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
The  Corporation  shall,  upon the written  request at any time of any holder of
Series B Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like
certificate  setting  forth (i) such  adjustments  and  readjustments,  (ii) the
Conversion  Value at the time in effect  for the  Series B  Preferred  Stock and
(iii) 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 Series B
Preferred   Stock  owned  by  such  holder  (without  regard  to  the  ownership
limitations set forth in Section 5(g)).

         12. NOTICES  OF  RECORD  DATE.  In  the  event  of  any  fixing  by the
Corporation  of a record date for the holders of any class of securities for the
purpose of  determining  the  holders  thereof  who are  entitled to receive any
dividend  (other  than a cash  dividend  or a  dividend  set forth in  Section 1
hereof) or other  distribution,  any shares of Common Stock or other securities,
or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire,  or any option for
the  purchase  of, any shares of stock of any class or any other  securities  or
property,  or to receive any other  right,  the  Corporation  shall mail to each
holder of Series B Preferred  Stock at least  twenty (20) days prior to the date
specified  therein,  a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to
be taken for the  purpose of such  dividend,  distribution  or  rights,  and the
amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.


                                       17

             (a) NO REDEMPTION.  The  Corporation may not redeem the outstanding

any time or under any circumstances, to require the Corporation to redeem any of
the Series B Preferred Stock.

             (b) STATUS OF AUTHORIZED, BUT UNISSUED SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED
STOCK.  Shares of Series B Preferred  Stock shall be issued only upon conversion

Stock other than in accordance with this Section 13(b) shall be null and void.
