OTHER EVENTS. As previously reported on Registrant's Report on Form 8-K dated March 13, 2001, Registrant secured a commitment for $15.4 million in funding from UBS Capital Americas III, L.P. and UBS Capital LLC (collectively, the "Purchasers"), to be used for working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of March 13, 2001, by and among Registrant and the Purchasers, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 7, 2001, the Purchasers purchased 3,994,127 shares of Registrant's Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 424,135 shares of Registrant's Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on May 7, 2001. All of the shares were purchased at $3.50 per share. The Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has full voting rights and is convertible into one share of the Registrant's common stock. The Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the same rights as the Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock except that it may not vote for the Board of Directors and is not convertible into Common Stock. Rather, at the election of Purchasers, each share of the Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible after one year into one share of Class I Convertible Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Registrant has been increased to eight directors from seven directors. The Purchasers are entitled to select three directors. Further, the Casty Grantor Subtrust ("Casty") is entitled to appoint one director and International Technology Investments, LC ("ITI") is entitled to appoint one director. ITI and Casty are entitled to jointly select an additional director. Also, ITI, Casty and the Purchasers are jointly entitled to select two additional directors who qualify as "independent directors" in accordance with Nasdaq rules. Effective with the purchase of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Zalman Lekach resigned as a director of the Registrant and Charles Delaney and Patrick Delhougne were appointed as directors.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall have the terms and provisions herein set forth on Annex A attached to this resolution. Name: /s/ Joel Eidelstein Title: President ATTEST: /s/ Jose Leiman - --------------- Name: Jose Leiman Title: Chief Financial Officer ANNEX A SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of IFX Corporation (the "Corporation") are as follows: 1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. This series of preferred stock shall be designated as "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" and shall be divided into two classes: Class I Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class I Preferred") and Class II Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class II Preferred," and together with the Class I Preferred, the "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock"). The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have $1.00 par value per share. The number of authorized shares constituting the Class I Preferred shall be 1,210,398 shares. The number of authorized shares constituting the Class II Preferred shall be 820,471 shares. Shares of the Class I Preferred have a stated value of Twelve and 31/100 Dollars ($12.31) per share and pursuant to the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Series A Stock Purchase Agreement") dated June 15, 2000 among the Company, UBS Capital Americas III, L.P. and UBS Capital LLC (together "UBS") the stated value of the shares of the Class II Preferred has been determined and shall hereinafter be Twelve and 31/100 Dollars ($12.31) (as applicable to the Class I Preferred or the Class II Preferred, as the case may be, the "Stated Value"). The Corporation has also authorized 4,418,262 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock") having the number, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights as set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the date of the filing hereof (the "Series B Certificate"). 2. DIVIDENDS. (a) Right to Receive Dividends. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"). (b) Participation with Common Stock. In the event the Board of Directors shall elect to pay or declare and set apart for payment any dividend on any shares of common stock, par value $.02 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") in cash out of funds legally available therefor or in stock or other consideration, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any dividend shall be declared and paid or set aside for the Common Stock, dividends payable in the form and in an amount per share equal to the per share amount that would have been payable to such holders had such holders converted their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 below. (c) Dividend Preference. Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be payable before any dividends or distributions or other payments shall be paid or set aside for payment upon the Common Stock or any other stock ranking on liquidation or as to -2- dividends or distributions junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (any such stock, together with the Common Stock, being referred to hereinafter as "Junior Stock"). If there shall be outstanding shares of any class or series of capital stock which is entitled to share ratably with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends or distributions or upon liquidation ("Parity Securities"), no full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any such securities unless dividends have been or contemporaneously are ratably declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 3. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the time thereof shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock or other Junior Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the sum of (x) the applicable Stated Value plus any declared and unpaid dividends to the date of liquidation, plus (y) 10% of such Stated Value per annum, calculated from the date of issuance of such share through date of payment of the liquidation preference as set forth in this Section 3 (the "Liquidation Preference"). After the payment of the full Liquidation Preference on account of all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as set forth in this Section 3 and any preferential amounts to which the holders of Parity Securities are entitled, the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock. If the assets and funds legally available for distribution among the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the assets and funds shall be distributed ratably among holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by each holder. If the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders upon any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to permit the payment to holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount and amounts payable to holders of outstanding Parity Securities, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of such other Parity Securities shall share ratably (and ratably as to cash, in-kind or other distributions) in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. (b) Except as described in the following sentence, a merger, recapitalization, reorganization, sale of voting control to a single buyer or a group of related buyers in one or a series of related transactions, or other business combination transaction involving the Corporation in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation or the Corporation (as applicable) immediately following the consummation of such transaction or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (collectively, a "Liquidation Event") shall be deemed to be a liquidation of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation Event: (i) a merger, recapitalization, sale of voting control or other business -3- combination transaction with an Affiliate (as such term is defined in Section 12b-2 of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of UBS, or (ii) a merger of the Corporation with a public company (A) in which the merger consideration to be received by the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is fully registered marketable securities (the "Merger Shares") which are not subject to any restrictions on transfer, (B) in which the value of such merger consideration for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at the average closing price of the Merger Shares for the 30 days prior to the consummation of the merger, or such lesser period which follows the public announcement of the merger, is greater than 110% of the Liquidation Preference per share as of the date of consummation of the merger, and (C) with aggregate trading volume for the 30 calendar days prior to the merger date of at least 10 times the aggregate number of Merger Shares received by all holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. (c) In any Liquidation Event, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any securities shall be valued as follows: (i) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by subsection (ii) below: (A) If traded on a securities exchange or through The Nasdaq National Market or Small Cap Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such quotation system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; (B) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and (C) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. (ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subsections (i)(A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 4. VOTING RIGHTS. In addition to any voting rights provided elsewhere herein or in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended or restated from time to time (the "Certificate -4- of Incorporation"), and any voting rights provided by law, the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: (a) Election of Directors.

Subject to Section 4(a)(v), a Series A Preferred Director so elected shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year following the election of such director.

(i) In order to convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) (or, in the case of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 5(b), to receive a certificate for such holder's shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such conversion), the holder shall surrender the certificate or -9- certificates therefore, duly endorsed for transfer, at any time during normal business hours, to the Corporation at its principal or at such other office or agency then maintained by it for such purpose (the "Payment Office"), accompanied, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 5(a), by written notice to the Corporation of such holder's election to convert and (if so required by the Corporation or any conversion agent) by an instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and to any conversion agent, duly executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney, and any taxes required pursuant to Section 5(e)(iii). As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of any share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the manner provided in the preceding sentence, and the payment in cash of any amount required by the provisions of Section 5(e)(iii), but in any event within five Trading Days of such surrender for payment, the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered at the Payment Office to or upon the written order of the holder of such shares, certificates representing the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares in proper order for conversion, and all rights of the holder of such shares as a holder of such shares shall cease at such time and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares of Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders thereof at such time; provided, however, that any such surrender and payment on any date when the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares of Common Stock are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes immediately prior to the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are opened and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such succeeding day. For purposes hereof, "Trading Day" shall mean (i) any day on which stock is traded on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, (ii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange but is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, any day on which stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, any day on which stock is traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). (ii) The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. At the Corporation's discretion, in the event the Corporation determines not to issue fractional shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of conversion. (iii) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion shall be made without charge for any issue, stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of record of the shares converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any -10- transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (f) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. Subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5(f), the Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 7,142,857 shares of Common Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock without regard to whether the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are then entitled to convert, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, taking appropriate board action, recommending such an increase to the holders of Common Stock, holding shareholders meetings, soliciting votes and proxies in favor of such increase to obtain the requisite stockholder approval and upon such approval, the Corporation shall reserve and keep available such additional shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. (g) Merger, Etc. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in case of any merger or other business combination transaction involving the Corporation which does not constitute a Liquidation Event, then, concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, provision shall be made so that each share of Series A Convertible 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 Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled assuming conversion immediately prior to the closing of the transaction. (ii) In case of any merger or other business combination transaction involving the Corporation which does not constitute a Liquidation Event, in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity, and the Corporation or the holders do not otherwise convert all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for and shall become shares of the surviving corporation having, in respect of the surviving corporation, substantially the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction. 6.

No adjustment shall be made under this Section 6(c) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights or pursuant to the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights or upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6(d) or Section 6(e).

Except with respect to Permitted Issuances, if at any time the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such distribution, issue or sale, then the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(c)(i) or (ii), as applicable, on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding, (ii) the price per share for such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share at which such Additional Shares of Common Stock are issuable to such holders, and (iii) the Corporation shall have received all of the consideration, if any, payable for such warrants or other rights as of the date of the actual issuance thereof. No further adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (e) Issuance of Convertible Securities. Except with respect to Permitted Issuances, if at any time the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the applicable Conversion Price -14- shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(c)(i) or (ii), as applicable, on the basis that (i) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding, (ii) the price per share of such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the lowest possible price in any range of prices at which such Additional Shares of Common Stock are available to such holders, and (iii) the Corporation shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of actual issuance of such Convertible Securities.

No further adjustments of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and, if any issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any warrant or other right to subscribe for or to purchase or any warrant or other right to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments thereof have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 6, no further adjustments shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. (f) Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(d) or 6(e) as the result of any issuance of warrants, rights or Convertible Securities, and either (i) such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Convertible Securities, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights, or such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased or decreased by virtue of provisions therein contained, then such previous adjustment 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. Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such rights or options or other Convertible Securities on the applicable Conversion Price, on the basis of (iii) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and -15- (iv) treating any such warrants or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase or decrease of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Convertible Securities. (g) Subject Transactions Adjustment. If the Corporation issues a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the Share Allowance in connection with the Subject Transactions, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a dollar amount resulting from the following: $40,464,918 ------------------------------------------ 1.010948(12,919,702 + Overage) - 1,500,000 Notwithstanding the foregoing, an adjustment under this subsection (g) shall only be made to the extent such adjustment results in a reduction of the then current Conversion Price. (h) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under This Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments provided for in this Section 6: (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Corporation therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Corporation therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are offered by the Corporation for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends, but not subtracting any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Corporation for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Corporation issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board of Directors in good faith shall determine to be attributable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or other rights, as the case may -16- be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Corporation for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Corporation in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Corporation shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. (ii) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 6 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. 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. (iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. (iv) Escrow of Common Stock. If after any property becomes distributable as a result of the provisions of this Section 6 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 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock exercises its conversion rights pursuant to Section 5, any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable and other property distributable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be held in escrow for such holder by the Corporation to be issued to such holder 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. -17- (v) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of Directors shall be required to make a determination in good faith of the fair value of any item under this Section 6, such determination may be challenged in good faith by a holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and any dispute shall be resolved by an investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the Corporation and acceptable to such holder. (i) 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 any action described in this Section 6 for which a specific adjustment is provided, then, unless such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible and/or the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances. (j) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the applicable Conversion Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock. (k) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible or whenever the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Corporation setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors determined the fair value of any consideration referred to in Section 6(h)(i)), specifying any change in the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 5(g)(i) or 6(h)) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property into which shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, and any change in the applicable Conversion Price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Corporation shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall keep at the Payment Office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or any prospective purchaser of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock designated by such holders. 7. TRIGGERING EVENTS. Any of the following actions or events shall constitute a "Triggering Event" for purposes hereof: (a) Failure to Pay Dividends. The Corporation shall fail to pay any dividend on any Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which it is required to pay in accordance with Section 2 for any reason, including but not limited to, that such payment is prohibited by -18- applicable law or the Board of Directors elect not to pay such dividend, or shall otherwise violate any term of Section 2 and such failure shall not be cured within a period of 30 days after such violation (which cure shall be effected in a manner ensuring the holders the same yield as if such violation had not occurred). (b) Failure of Voting Rights. The Corporation shall enter into any transaction or take any action required to be approved by holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock without obtaining the requisite approval of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. (c) Failure to Convert. The Corporation shall fail for any reason to issue Common Stock as required under Section 5 upon the request of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as provided in Section 5 or shall fail for any reason to comply in any material respect with any term of Section 5(f) or any other term of Section 5 hereof. (d) Registration Rights Agreement. The Corporation shall fail in any material respect to comply with the rights of the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May__, 2001, among the Corporation, UBS and other stockholders of the Corporation, and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after notice from any such holder. (e) Series A Stock Purchase Agreement. The Corporation shall fail to comply with Section 3, 6(e) or 6(g) of the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after notice from the Purchasers or the representations made under Section 4(c) or 4(u) of the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made pursuant thereto or any other material representation made under the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any substantial material respect when made. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series A Preferred Directors affirmatively vote in favor of a transaction or other action by the Corporation which would constitute a Triggering Event under Section 7(b) or 7(d), such action or event shall not be considered a Triggering Event. 8. REMEDIES. (a) In the event that a Triggering Event described in Section 7 shall occur and be continuing, each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive all cash and other dividends, distributions and other payments which would be paid or payable to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible at such time (without regard to the number of shares of Common Stock which are authorized or reserved for issuance at such time). (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, the size of the Board of Directors shall immediately be increased by the minimum number of directors which, if all of such additional directors were deemed "Series A Preferred Directors," would result in Series A Preferred Directors constituting a majority of the Board of Directors and -19- the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to appoint such newly created directors; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event which is also a "Triggering Event" as defined in the Series B Certificate, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of the Class I Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to appoint, by voting together as a single class, a majority of the Board of Directors with each of such holders having one vote for each full share of Common Stock into which their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Class I Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, are convertible on the record date for the vote. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, any holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at its election, may, by notice to the Corporation (the "Put Notice"), demand repurchase of all or any portion of such holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price in an amount per share equal to the Liquidation Preference. The Corporation shall, on the date (not less than 10 business days after the date of the Put Notice) designated in such Put Notice, repurchase from the Holder such holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock specified in the Notice. On the date of any repurchase of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8(c), the holder thereof shall surrender for redemption a certificate for the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed, without any representation or warranty (other than that the holder has good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of liens, encumbrances and restrictions of any kind), against payment therefor of the repurchase price by, at the option of the holder, (i) wire transfer to an account designated by the holder for such purpose or (ii) a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the holder. If less than all of the holder's shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a single certificate are being redeemed, the Corporation shall cancel such certificate and issue in the name of, and deliver to, the holder a new certificate for the portion not being redeemed. At any time following delivery of a Put Notice but prior to the date of repurchase, any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, by notice to the Corporation, withdraw the repurchase demand contained in the Put Notice. (d) The Corporation stipulates that the remedies at law of each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the event of any Triggering Event or threatened Triggering Event or otherwise or other failure in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms hereof are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise without requiring any holder to post a bond or other security except to the extent required by applicable law. (e) Any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by such holder in connection with any Triggering Event or enforcement by such holder of any obligation of the Corporation hereunder. (f) No failure or delay on the part of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such -20- right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or otherwise. 9. PREEMPTIVE RIGHT. (a) Each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, shall have a right of first refusal (the "Preemptive Right") to purchase its pro rata share, based on such holder's percentage ownership interest in the Corporation, of New Securities (as defined below) which the Corporation, from time to time, proposes to sell and issue (subject to such requirements and restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and state securities laws and to the actual issuance of the New Securities). The pro rata shares of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, for purposes of this Preemptive Right, shall be the ratio of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned, of record or beneficially, by such holder (including all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the exercise or conversion of any other option, warrant or convertible security held by such holder) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities, to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities, determined on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the exercise in full of then outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of all securities convertible into shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that if any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock does not elect to purchase its entire pro rata share of such New Securities, then each other holder that has elected to purchase its entire pro rata share shall have the right to purchase up to a number of such unpurchased portion, in addition to its own, in the proportion that (1) the number of shares of Common Stock owned, of record or beneficially, by such holder (including all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the exercise or conversion of any other option, warrant or convertible security held by such holder) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities bears to (2) the number of shares of Common Stock owned, of record or beneficially, by all holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (including all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the exercise or conversion of any other option, warrant or convertible security held by such holders) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities. The overallotment mechanism set forth in this paragraph shall be repeatedly applied until all New Securities available for purchase by holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been purchased or no holders remain who have indicated a desire to purchase any unsubscribed for portion in their notice to the Corporation. (b) "New Securities" shall mean (a) any capital stock of the Corporation, rights, options or warrants to purchase capital stock and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock and (b) so-called "high yield" bonds, debt instruments with equity like features or other similar debt instruments, which bear a rating lower than investment-grade or are unrated, issued by the Corporation; provided, however, that the term "New Securities" does not include (i) the issuance of up to 4,243,037 -21- shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to options to purchase Common Stock under the Stock Option Plan, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, (iii) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) shares of Class I Series B Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of Class II Series B Preferred Stock, (v) securities issued as consideration for any acquisition approved by a majority of the Board of Directors (including the affirmative vote of the Series A Preferred Directors ), (vi) the Spinway Warrant, (vii) 210,000 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Spinway Warrant, (viii) shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of Tutopia Stock upon a change-in-control of the Corporation pursuant to the Tutopia Stockholders Agreement, or (ix) any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, rights, options or warrants to purchase capital stock and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock after first receiving the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. (c) In the event the Corporation proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and the price and the terms upon which the Corporation proposes to issue the same. Each such holder shall have twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Corporation and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

To the extent the Corporation does not sell all the New Securities offered within said ninety (90) day period, the Corporation shall not thereafter issue or sell such New Securities without first again offering such securities to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the manner provided above. (e) The rights granted under this Section 9 to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a Qualified Public Offering and (ii) such time as there is no longer outstanding at least 50% of the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (including, for this purpose, Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) issued pursuant to the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement (as adjusted in connection with the events described in Section 6) determined after the Subsequent Closing (as defined in the Series A Stock Purchase Agreement). 10.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that there is hereby authorized a series of preferred stock on the terms and with the provisions herein set forth on Annex A attached to this resolution. Name: /s/ Joel Eidelstein Title: President ATTEST: /s/ Jose Leiman - --------------- Name: Jose Leiman Title: Chief Financial Officer ANNEX A SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of IFX Corporation (the "Corporation") are as follows: 1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. This series of preferred stock shall be designated as "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" and shall be divided into two classes: Class I Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class I Preferred Stock") and Class II Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Class II Preferred Stock", and together with the Class I Preferred Stock, the "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock"). The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have $1.00 par value per share. The number of authorized shares of the Class I Preferred Stock shall be 4,418,262 shares. The number of authorized shares of the Class II Preferred Stock shall be 424,135 shares. Shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of Three and 50/100 Dollars ($3.50) per share (the "Stated Value"). The Corporation has previously authorized and issued 2,030,869 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock") having the number, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights as set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the date of the filing hereof (the "Series A Certificate"). 2. DIVIDENDS. (a) Right to Receive Dividends. Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"). (b) Participation with Common Stock. In the event the Board of Directors shall elect to pay or declare and set apart for payment any dividend on any shares of common stock, par value $.02 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") in cash out of funds legally available therefor or in stock or other consideration, the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any dividend shall be declared and paid or set aside for the Common Stock, dividends payable in the form and in an amount per share equal to the per share amount that would have been payable to such holders had such holders converted their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 below. (c) Dividend Preference. Dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be payable before any dividends or distributions or other payments shall be paid or set aside for payment upon the Common Stock or any other stock ranking on liquidation or as to dividends or distributions junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (any such stock, together with the Common Stock, being referred to hereinafter as "Junior Stock"). If there shall be outstanding shares of any class or series of capital stock which is entitled to share ratably with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends or distributions or upon -2- liquidation ("Parity Securities"), no full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any such securities unless dividends have been or contemporaneously are ratably declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. 3. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the time thereof shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock or other Junior Stock by reason of their ownership of such stock, an amount per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the sum of (x) the applicable Stated Value plus any declared and unpaid dividends to the date of liquidation, plus (y) 10% of such Stated Value per annum, calculated from the date of issuance of such share through date of payment of the liquidation preference as set forth in this Section 3 (the "Liquidation Preference"). For purposes of the foregoing, shares of Class I Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of the Class II Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such shares of Class II Preferred Stock were issued. After the payment of the full Liquidation Preference on account of all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as set forth in this Section 3 and any preferential amounts to which the holders of Parity Securities are entitled, the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock. If the assets and funds legally available for distribution among the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount, then the assets and funds shall be distributed ratably among holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock owned by each holder. If the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders upon any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to permit the payment to holders of the full aforesaid preferential amount and amounts payable to holders of outstanding Parity Securities, the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of such other Parity Securities shall share ratably (and ratably as to cash, in-kind or other distributions) in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. (b) Except as described in the following sentence, a merger, recapitalization, reorganization, sale of voting control to a single buyer or a group of related buyers in one or a series of related transactions, or other business combination transaction involving the Corporation in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving corporation or the Corporation (as applicable) immediately following the consummation of such transaction or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (collectively, a "Liquidation Event") shall be deemed to be a liquidation of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation Event: (i) a merger, recapitalization, sale of voting control or other business combination transaction with an Affiliate (as such term is defined in Section 12b-2 of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of UBS Capital -3- Americas III, L.P. or UBS Capital LLC (together with any such Affiliate, "UBS"), or (ii) a merger of the Corporation with a public company (A) in which the merger consideration to be received by the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is fully registered marketable securities (the "Merger Shares") which are not subject to any restrictions on transfer, (B) in which the value of such merger consideration for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at the average closing price of the Merger Shares for the 30 days prior to the consummation of the merger, or such lesser period which follows the public announcement of the merger, is greater than 110% of the Liquidation Preference per share as of the date of consummation of the merger, and (C) with aggregate trading volume for the 30 calendar days prior to the merger date of at least 10 times the aggregate number of Merger Shares received by all holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. (c) In any Liquidation Event, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any securities shall be valued as follows: (i) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by subsection (ii) below: (A) If traded on a securities exchange or through The Nasdaq National Market or Small Cap Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such quotation system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; (B) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and (C) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. (ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subsections (i)(A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. 4.

Upon expiration of the initial term of such Series B Preferred Director, so long as the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect a Series B Preferred Director to replace such director in the same manner described above in Section 4(a)(i). Subject to Section 4(a)(v), a Series B Preferred Director so elected shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year following the election of such director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 4(a)(v), a Series B Preferred Director elected under Section 4(a)(i) shall serve until such Series B Preferred Director's successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director's earlier removal as provided in Section 4(a)(iii) or death or resignation and, in the event a vacancy occurs, a replacement Series B Preferred Director shall be selected as provided in Section 4(a)(i).

CONVERSION. -8- Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5. (a) Optional Conversion. (i) At any time and from time to time, each holder of shares of Class I Preferred Stock may, upon 30 days' notice to the Corporation, convert all or any portion of such shares held by such holder into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (x) the applicable Stated Value multiplied by the number of shares surrendered for conversion plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, by (y) the Conversion Price on the date of conversion determined in accordance with Section 5(c). (ii) References in this Section 5 to "Common Stock" shall include all stock or other securities or property (including cash) into which Common Stock is converted following any merger, reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation. (b) Mandatory Conversion. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (x) the applicable Stated Value multiplied by the number of shares surrendered for conversion plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, by (y) the Conversion Price on the date of conversion determined in accordance with Section 5(c), without further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, upon the closing of an underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock for which the Corporation has obtained a firm commitment from one or more underwriter(s) for at least $60 million of Common Stock and in which the Corporation receives gross proceeds from the sale of Common Stock to the public of at least $45 million (before deduction of underwriter's discounts and commissions), and which values the equity of the Corporation at no less than $200 million pre-offering (a "Qualified Public Offering"). Except for the purposes of the calculation in the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of a Qualified Public Offering, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock until the closing of such offering. (c) Conversion Price. The Conversion Price per share for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be Three and 50/100 Dollars ($3.50), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6 hereof. (d) Common Stock. The Common Stock to be issued upon conversion hereunder shall be fully paid and nonassessable. (e) Procedures for Conversion. (i) In order to convert shares of Class I Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) (or, in the case of an automatic conversion of Class I Preferred Stock and Class II Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5(b), to receive a certificate for such holder's shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of such conversion), the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed for transfer, at -9- any time during normal business hours, to the Corporation at its principal or at such other office or agency then maintained by it for such purpose (the "Payment Office"), accompanied, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 5(a), by written notice to the Corporation of such holder's election to convert and (if so required by the Corporation or any conversion agent) by an instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and to any conversion agent, duly executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney, and any taxes required pursuant to Section 5(e)(iii). As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of any share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the manner provided in the preceding sentence, and the payment in cash of any amount required by the provisions of Section 5(e)(iii), but in any event within five Trading Days of such surrender for payment, the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered at the Payment Office to or upon the written order of the holder of such shares, certificates representing the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares in proper order for conversion, and all rights of the holder of such shares as a holder of such shares shall cease at such time and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares of Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders thereof at such time; provided, however, that any such surrender and payment on any date when the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares of Common Stock are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes immediately prior to the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are opened and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such succeeding day. For purposes hereof, "Trading Day" shall mean (i) any day on which stock is traded on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, (ii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange but is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, any day on which stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not then traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, any day on which stock is traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices). (ii) The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. At the Corporation's discretion, in the event the Corporation determines not to issue fractional shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of conversion. (iii) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion shall be made without charge for any issue, stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of record of the shares converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any -10- transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (f) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. Subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5(f), the Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 4,418,262 shares of Common Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock without regard to whether the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are then entitled to convert, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, taking appropriate board action, recommending such an increase to the holders of Common Stock, holding shareholders meetings, soliciting votes and proxies in favor of such increase to obtain the requisite stockholder approval and upon such approval, the Corporation shall reserve and keep available such additional shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. (g) Merger, Etc. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in case of any merger or other business combination transaction involving the Corporation which does not constitute a Liquidation Event, then, concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, provision shall be made so that each share of Series B Convertible 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 B Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled assuming conversion immediately prior to the closing of the transaction. (ii) In case of any merger or other business combination transaction involving the Corporation which does not constitute a Liquidation Event, in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity, and the Corporation or the holders do not otherwise convert all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for and shall become shares of the surviving corporation having, in respect of the surviving corporation, substantially the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, that the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction. (h) Conversion of Class II Preferred Stock. (i) Beginning on the first anniversary of the date of filing of this Certificate, each holder of shares of Class II Preferred Stock may at any time convert all or any portion of such shares held by such holder into one share of Class I Preferred Stock for each share of Class II Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion. The holder of each share of Class II Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, -11- duly endorsed for transfer, at any time during normal business hours, to Payment Office, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation of such holder's election to convert. Within 5 Trading Days of such surrender the Corporation will deliver or cause to be delivered at the Payment Office, certificates representing the number of shares of Class I Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares. (ii) The Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class I Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class II Preferred Stock, 424,135 shares of Class I Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class I Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Class II Preferred Stock without regard to whether the holders of Class II Preferred Stock are then entitled to convert, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class I Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, taking appropriate board action, recommending such an increase to the stockholders, holding stockholders meetings, soliciting votes and proxies in favor of such increase to obtain the requisite stockholder approval and upon such approval, the Corporation shall reserve and keep available such additional shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class II Preferred Stock. 6.

If, at any time after any adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(d) or 6(e) as the result of any issuance of warrants, rights or Convertible Securities, and either (i) such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Convertible Securities, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights, or such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased or decreased by virtue of provisions therein contained, then such previous adjustment 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. Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such rights or options or other Convertible Securities on the applicable Conversion Price, on the basis of (iii) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (iv) treating any such warrants or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase or decrease of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Convertible Securities. (g) Subject Transactions Adjustment. If the Corporation issues a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the Share Allowance in connection with the Subject Transactions, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a dollar resulting from the following: $40,464,918 ------------------------------------------ 1.010948(12,919,702 + Overage) - 1,500,000 Notwithstanding the foregoing, an adjustment under this subsection (g) shall only be made to the extent such adjustment results in a reduction of the then current Conversion Price. (h) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under This Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments provided for in this Section 6: -16- (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Corporation therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Corporation therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are offered by the Corporation for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends, but not subtracting any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Corporation for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In case any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Corporation issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as the Board of Directors in good faith shall determine to be attributable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or other rights, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Corporation for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Corporation in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities. In case of the issuance at any time of any Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Corporation shall be deemed to have received for such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. (ii) When Adjustments to Be Made; Class II Preferred Stock Adjustments. The adjustments required by this Section 6 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the -17- purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Class I Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of Class II Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the same adjustments to the Conversion Price, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or otherwise under this Section 6, as if such shares of Class I Preferred Stock had been issued at the time such shares of Class II Preferred Stock were issued. (iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. (iv) Escrow of Common Stock. If after any property becomes distributable as a result of the provisions of this Section 6 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 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock exercises its conversion rights pursuant to Section 5, any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable and other property distributable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be held in escrow for such holder by the Corporation to be issued to such holder 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. (v) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of Directors shall be required to make a determination in good faith of the fair value of any item under this Section 6, such determination may be challenged in good faith by a holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and any dispute shall be resolved by an investment banking firm of recognized national standing selected by the Corporation and acceptable to such holder. (i) 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 any action described in this Section 6 for which a specific adjustment is provided, then, unless such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible and/or the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances. (j) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, -18- would cause the applicable Conversion Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock. (k) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible or whenever the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Corporation setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors determined the fair value of any consideration referred to in Section 6(h)(i)), specifying any change in the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 5(g)(i) or 6(h)) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property into which shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, and any change in the applicable Conversion Price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Corporation shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall keep at the Payment Office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or any prospective purchaser of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock designated by such holders. 7. TRIGGERING EVENTS. Any of the following actions or events shall constitute a "Triggering Event" for purposes hereof: (a) Failure to Pay Dividends. The Corporation shall fail to pay any dividend on any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which it is required to pay in accordance with Section 2 for any reason, including but not limited to, that such payment is prohibited by applicable law or the Board of Directors elect not to pay such dividend, or shall otherwise violate any term of Section 2 and such failure shall not be cured within a period of 30 days after such violation (which cure shall be effected in a manner ensuring the holders the same yield as if such violation had not occurred). (b) Failure of Voting Rights. The Corporation shall enter into any transaction or take any action required to be approved by holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock without obtaining the requisite approval of the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. (c) Failure to Convert. The Corporation shall fail for any reason to issue Common Stock or Class I Preferred Stock, as applicable, as required under Section 5 upon the request of any holder of Class I Preferred Stock or Class II Preferred Stock, as the case may be, as provided in Section 5 or shall fail for any reason to comply in any material respect with any term of Section 5(f) or any other term of Section 5 hereof. -19- (d) Registration Rights Agreement. The Corporation shall fail in any material respect to comply with the rights of the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May __, 2001, among the Corporation, UBS and other stockholders of the Corporation, and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after notice from any such holder. (e) Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. The Corporation shall fail to comply with Section 6(e) or 6(g) of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after notice from the Purchasers or the representations made under Section 4(c) or 4(u) of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made pursuant thereto or any other material representation made under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any substantial material respect when made. (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series B Director affirmatively votes in favor of a transaction or other action by the Corporation which would constitute a Triggering Event under Section 7(b) or 7(d), such action or event shall not be considered a Triggering Event. 8. REMEDIES. (a) In the event that a Triggering Event described in Section 7 shall occur and be continuing, each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive all cash and other dividends, distributions and other payments which would be paid or payable to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible at such time (without regard to the number of shares of Common Stock which are authorized or reserved for issuance at such time and without regard to whether such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are then currently convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder). (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, the size of the Board of Directors shall immediately be increased by the minimum number of directors which, if all of such additional directors were deemed "Series B Preferred Directors," would result in Series B Preferred Directors constituting a majority of the Board of Directors and the holders of Class I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to appoint such newly created directors; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event which is also a "Triggering Event" as defined in the Series A Certificate, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of the Class I Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to appoint, by voting together as a single class, a majority of the Board of Directors with each of such holders having one vote for each full share of Common Stock into which their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and/or Class I Preferred Stock, as the case may be, are convertible on the record date for the vote. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Triggering Event, any holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, at its election, may, by notice to the Corporation (the "Put Notice"), demand repurchase of all or any portion of such holder's shares -20- of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price in an amount per share equal to the Liquidation Preference. The Corporation shall, on the date (not less than 10 business days after the date of the Put Notice) designated in such Put Notice, repurchase from the Holder such holder's shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock specified in the Notice. On the date of any repurchase of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8(c), the holder thereof shall surrender for redemption a certificate for the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed, without any representation or warranty (other than that the holder has good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of liens, encumbrances and restrictions of any kind), against payment therefor of the repurchase price by, at the option of the holder, (i) wire transfer to an account designated by the holder for such purpose or (ii) a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the holder. If less than all of the holder's shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a single certificate are being redeemed, the Corporation shall cancel such certificate and issue in the name of, and deliver to, the holder a new certificate for the portion not being redeemed. At any time following delivery of a Put Notice but prior to the date of repurchase, any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may, by notice to the Corporation, withdraw the repurchase demand contained in the Put Notice. (d) The Corporation stipulates that the remedies at law of each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the event of any Triggering Event or threatened Triggering Event or otherwise or other failure in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms hereof are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise without requiring any holder to post a bond or other security except to the extent required by applicable law. (e) Any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation the reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by such holder in connection with any Triggering Event or enforcement by such holder of any obligation of the Corporation hereunder. (f) No failure or delay on the part of any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or otherwise. 9. PREEMPTIVE RIGHT. (a) Each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, shall have a right of first refusal (the "Preemptive Right") to purchase its pro rata share, based on such holder's percentage ownership interest in the Corporation, of New Securities (as defined below) which the Corporation, from time to time, proposes to sell and issue (subject to such requirements and restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and state securities laws and to -21- the actual issuance of the New Securities). The pro rata shares of any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, for purposes of this Preemptive Right, shall be the ratio of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned, of record or beneficially, by such holder (including all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not then currently convertible, or the exercise or conversion of any other option, warrant or convertible security held by such holder) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities, to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities, determined on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the exercise in full of then outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of all securities convertible into shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that if any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not elect to purchase its entire pro rata share of such New Securities, then each other holder that has elected to purchase its entire pro rata share shall have the right to purchase up to a number of such unpurchased portion, in addition to its own, in the proportion that (1) the number of shares of Common Stock owned, of record or beneficially, by such holder (including all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not then currently convertible, or the exercise or conversion of any other option, warrant or convertible security held by such holder) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities bears to (2) the number of shares of Common Stock owned, of record or beneficially, by all holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (including all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not then currently convertible, or the exercise or conversion of any other option, warrant or convertible security held by such holders) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities. The overallotment mechanism set forth in this paragraph shall be repeatedly applied until all New Securities available for purchase by holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have been purchased or no holders remain who have indicated a desire to purchase any unsubscribed for portion in their notice to the Corporation. (b) "New Securities" shall mean (a) any capital stock of the Corporation, rights, options or warrants to purchase capital stock and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock and (b) so-called "high yield" bonds, debt instruments with equity like features or other similar debt instruments, which bear a rating lower than investment-grade or are unrated, issued by the Corporation; provided, however, that the term "New Securities" does not include (i) the issuance of up to 4,243,037 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to options to purchase Common Stock under the Stock Option Plan, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, (iii) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) shares of Class I Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of Class II Preferred Stock, (v) securities issued as consideration for any acquisition approved by a majority of the Board of Directors (including the affirmative vote of the Series B Preferred Director), (vi) the Spinway Warrant, (vii) 210,000 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Spinway Warrant, (viii) shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of Tutopia Stock upon a change-in-control of the Corporation pursuant to the Tutopia Stockholders Agreement, or (ix) any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, -22- rights, options or warrants to purchase capital stock and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock after first receiving the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. (c) In the event the Corporation proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and the price and the terms upon which the Corporation proposes to issue the same. Each such holder shall have twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Corporation and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

(a) If at any time a Stockholder or any of his/its Affiliates, other than the Company, desires to Transfer all or any part of their Equity Securities (other than pursuant to Permitted Sales) to any Person (the "Proposed Transferee"), such Stockholder (the "Seller") shall, except as provided below, submit a written offer (the "Offer") to sell such Equity Securities (the "Offered Shares"), first to the Company, and second to the Holders, on the same terms and conditions on which the Seller proposes to sell such Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee. The parties acknowledge and agree that any Transfer described in the last sentence of Sections 3.3(a) and 3.4(a) shall not be subject to the terms of this Section. The Offer shall disclose the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the terms and conditions, including price, of the proposed sale, and any other material facts relating to the proposed sale. The Offer shall further state that the Company and the Holders may acquire, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, all or any portion of the Offered Shares for the price and upon the other terms and conditions, including deferred payment (if applicable), set forth therein. 10 (b) Upon receipt of the Offer, if the Company desires to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares, the Company shall communicate in writing its election to purchase to the Seller, which communication shall state the number of Offered Shares the Company desires to purchase and shall be given to the Seller in accordance with Section 5.4 below within thirty (30) days of the date the Offer was made. Such notice shall, when taken in conjunction with the Offer, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale to, and purchase by, the Company of the number of Offered Shares specified by the Company in such notice and on the terms of the Offer. Sales of the Offered Shares to be sold to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) shall be made at the offices of the Company on the 45th day following the date the Offer was made (or if such 45th day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day).

(c) Each Holder shall, subject to the prior purchase right of the Company, have the absolute right to purchase that number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company as shall be equal to the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (determined on an as converted basis) then owned by such Holder and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (determined on an as converted basis) then owned by all of the Holders. The amount of Offered Shares that each Holder is entitled to purchase under this Section 3.5(c) shall be referred to as its "Pro Rata Fraction."

Such right of oversubscription may be exercised by a Holder by accepting the Offer as to more than its Pro Rata Fraction. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscriptions exceed the total number of Offered Shares available in respect of such oversubscription privilege, the oversubscribing Holders shall be cut back with respect to their oversubscriptions on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Fractions or as they may otherwise agree among themselves. If a Holder desires to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares, said Holder shall communicate in writing its election to purchase to the Seller and the Company, which communication shall state the number of Offered Shares said Holder desires to purchase and shall be given to the Seller in accordance with Section 5.4 below within thirty (30) days of the date the Offer was made. Such communication shall, when taken in conjunction with the Offer, be deemed to constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of such Offered Shares (subject to the aforesaid limitations as to a Holder's right to purchase more than its Pro Rata Fraction) and on the terms of the Offer. Sales of the Offered Shares to be sold to purchasing Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) shall be made at the offices of the Company on the later of (i) the 45th day following the date the Offer was made (or if such later of (i) the 45th day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) and (ii) the third Business Day following receipt of all material governmental or other consents in connection with such sale. Such sales shall be effected by the Seller's 11 delivery to each purchasing Holder of a certificate or certificates evidencing the Offered Shares to be purchased by it, duly endorsed for transfer to such purchasing Holder, against payment to the Seller of the purchase price therefor by such purchasing Holder. (d) If the Holders and the Company do not purchase in the aggregate all of the Offered Shares, the Offered Shares not so purchased may be sold by the Seller at any time within 90 days after the date the Offer was made, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 hereof. Any such sale shall be to the Proposed Transferee, at the price and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Any Offered Shares not sold within such 90-day period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of a prior offer pursuant to this Section 3.5. If Offered Shares are sold pursuant to this Section 3.5 to any purchaser who is not a party to this Agreement, the Offered Shares so sold shall no longer be subject to this Agreement. (e) The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) a Qualified Public Offering and (ii) the time at which the Investor Stockholders and the other Holders own less than 20% of the Common Stock (on an as converted basis) that the Investor Stockholders owned as of the Closing.

Removal of Legend. Each certificate for Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Common Shares transferred shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2, except that such certificate shall not bear such legend if (i) such transfer is in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144 (or any other rule permitting public sale without registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company (it being agreed that either of Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg or Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, LLP shall be satisfactory) the transferee and any subsequent transferee would be entitled to transfer such securities in a public sale without registration under the Securities Act. 4. Required Registration. (a) At any time after the earlier of (i) 180 days following the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) and (ii) June 15, 2001, the Investor Stockholders holding Restricted Stock constituting at least 66 2/3% of the total shares of Restricted Stock held by Investor Stockholders then outstanding, ITI or Casty may request the Company to register under the Securities Act all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holder or holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice, provided that the shares of Restricted Stock for which registration has been requested shall have a reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public which is at least $15,000,000 (the "Minimum Offering Price"); provided further that neither ITI nor Casty shall request such registration prior to a Qualified Public Offering without the consent of UBS. The only securities which the Company shall be required to register pursuant hereto shall be shares of Common Stock, provided, however, that, in any underwritten public offering contemplated by this Section 4 or Sections 5 and 6, the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to sell such Preferred Shares to the underwriters for conversion and sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to file any registration statement under this Section 4, within such period of time after the effective date of any earlier registration statement relating to an underwritten public offering (other than a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor thereto relating to the resale of securities of the Company acquired in connection with an acquisition or similar transaction (each, an "Acquisition Registration Statement")) as shall be determined in good faith by the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering, provided that such time period shall not exceed 180 days. (b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 4, the Company shall immediately notify all holders of Restricted Stock from whom notice has not been received and shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice from requesting holders, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice (and in all notices received by the Company from other holders within 30 days after the giving of such notice by the Company). If such method of disposition shall be an underwritten public offering, the Company shall designate the underwriter(s) of such offering, subject to the approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Restricted Stock proposed to be sold in such offering, including the approval of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of Restricted Stock proposed to be sold by Investor Stockholders, to be sold in such offering (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or 3 delayed). If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in such underwriter's good faith determination the marketing factors require a limitation of the amount of Restricted Stock to be underwritten in such registration, the Company shall (to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that such securities can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect upon the marketing of such offering) register in such registration (i) first, the Restricted Stock proposed to be sold by the parties participating in the demand registration of Restricted Stock under this Section 4, pro rata based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock proposed to be sold by such holders; and (ii) second securities held by the Company. The Company shall be obligated to register Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 4, in the case of registrations requested by each of the Investor Stockholders, ITI and Casty on three occasions only, provided, however, that such obligation shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering all shares of Restricted Stock specified in demand notices delivered pursuant to Section 4(a), for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders, shall have become effective and, if such method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering, all such shares designated in the notice shall have been sold pursuant thereto. (c) The Company shall, subject to Section 4(b), be entitled to include in any registration statement referred to in this Section 4 for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders, shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account. 5. Incidental Registration. If the Company at any time (other than pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6) proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such time it will give written notice to all holders of outstanding Restricted Stock of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such holder, received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of its Restricted Stock, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder of such Restricted Stock so registered. In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that in such underwriter's good faith determination the marketing factors require a limitation of the amount of Restricted Stock to be underwritten in such registration then (a) if such registration is a primary registration on behalf of the Company, the Company shall (to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that such securities can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect upon the marketing of such offering) register in such registration (i) first, the Company securities which the Company proposes to sell in such registration, (ii) second, the Restricted Stock held by Investor Stockholders which they propose to sell in such registration on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holders, (iii) third, Restricted Stock held by ITI and Casty which they propose to sell in such registration on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holders and (iv) fourth, securities held by other parties eligible for inclusion in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based upon the amount of securities held by them, and (b) if such registration is a secondary registration, the 4 Company shall (to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that such securities can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect upon the marketing of such offering) register in such registration (i) first, the Restricted Stock held by Investor Stockholders which they propose to sell in such registration on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holders, (ii) second, the Restricted Stock held by ITI and Casty which they propose to sell in such registration on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holders and (iii) third, the securities held by other parties eligible for inclusion in such registration on a pro rata basis based upon the amount of securities held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 5, without thereby incurring any liability to the holders of Restricted Stock other than for the payment of Registration Expenses in accordance with Section 8. 6. Registration on Form S-3. (a) Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.3 and 3.4 of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), if at any time (i) one or more Investor Stockholders, ITI or Casty requests that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor thereto for a public offering of all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holder or holders, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which would exceed $2,500,000, provided that the Restricted Stock for which registration has been requested constitutes at least 10% of the total shares of Restricted Stock then outstanding held by Investor Stockholders, if such registration is requested by one or more Investor Stockholders, or at least 10% of the total shares of Restricted Stock then outstanding held by ITI or Casty, as the case may be, if such registration is requested by ITI or Casty, and (ii) the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such shares, then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any successor thereto, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice, the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice. Whenever the Company is required by this Section 6(a) to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of Restricted Stock, each of the procedures and requirements of Section 4 (including but not limited to the requirement that the Company notify all holders of Restricted Stock from whom notice has not been received and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the offering) shall apply to such registration, provided, however, that each of the Investor Stockholders (considered as a group), ITI and Casty may only request and obtain two registrations on Form S-3 under this Section in any calendar year, provided, further, that no request may be made by a party under this Section 6(a) within 180 days after the effective date of any other registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to this Section on behalf of such party. (b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a) above, Casty may request, by written notice, that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor thereto for a public offering of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock held by Casty (or any Affiliate thereof) and eligible for transfer pursuant to the restrictions on transfer contained in the first sentence of Section 3.4 of the Stockholders Agreement (the "Eligible Shares") and if the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 or any successor thereto to register such shares, then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or any successor thereto, for public sale the number of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such written notice to the Company (not to exceed the number of Eligible Shares); provided, however, that (i) any registration under this Section 6(b) shall be a non-underwritten offering; (ii) Casty 5 shall only be entitled to request two registrations under this Section 6(b); (iii) the Company shall only be obligated to effect one such registration during any calendar year (which shall count as one of the two permitted in such calendar year pursuant to Section 6(a)); and (iv) the Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any such registration statement for more than 60 days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to file any registration statement under this Section 6(b): (x) within such period of time after the effective date of any earlier registration statement relating to an underwritten public offering (other than an Acquisition Registration Statement) as shall be determined in good faith by the managing underwriter of an underwritten public offering, provided that such time period shall not exceed 180 days or (y) if the Company shall furnish to Casty a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration to be effected at such time due to any pending material financing, acquisition or corporate reorganization or other material corporate development involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 7. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any shares of Restricted Stock under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (which, other than in the case of an underwritten public offering pursuant to Section 4, may be on Form S-3 or any successor thereto if the Company is a registrant entitled to use such Form) with respect to such securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided); (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement in accordance with the sellers' intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period; (c) furnish to each seller of Restricted Stock and to each underwriter such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement; (d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Restricted Stock or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably shall request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 6 (e) list the Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed; (f) immediately notify each seller of Restricted Stock and each underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; (g) as soon as practicable upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 7(f), prepare and file a supplement or post-effective amendment to such registration statement or the prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the shares of Restricted Stock covered thereby, the prospectus contained in such registration statement will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the obligation to prepare and file any such supplement, post-effective amendment or other document shall be suspended (a "Suspension") if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration to be effected at such time due to any pending material financing, acquisition or corporate reorganization or other material corporate development involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided further, that the Company shall only be permitted to effectuate one (1) Suspension in any twelve (12) month period and any such suspension will be lifted by the Company as soon as practicable and will not, in any event, extend for more than 60 days with respect to any such specified event; (h) if the offering is underwritten and at the request of any seller of Restricted Stock, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish on the date that Restricted Stock is delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act and that (A) to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act, (B) the registration statement, the related prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereof comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act (except that such counsel need not express any opinion as to financial statements contained therein) and (C) to such other effects as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters or by such seller or its counsel and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters and to such seller, stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five business days 7 prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such underwriters reasonably may request; and (i) make available for inspection by each seller of Restricted Stock, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(f), each seller of Restricted Stock (x) promptly will discontinue disposition of any shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to such registration statement until such seller of Restricted Stock has received copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7(g) (it being understood that such discontinuance shall be deemed a Suspension subject to the limitations on Suspensions set forth in Section 7(g)), (y) thereafter, will utilize and distribute only such supplemented or amended prospectus, and (z) if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company all copies of the prospectus covering such shares of Restricted Stock in such party's possession at the time of receipt of such suspension notice. For purposes of Section 7(a) and 7(b), the period of distribution of Restricted Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution of Restricted Stock in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until the earlier of the sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby and 180 days following effectiveness of registration. In connection with each registration hereunder, each seller of Restricted Stock will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws, and will notify the Company promptly upon the happening of any event during the period any registration statement is effective that makes any statement regarding such seller made in a registration statement or the prospectus contained therein untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in a registration statement or the prospectus contained therein in order to make the statements therein regarding such seller, in light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. In connection with each registration pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6 covering an underwritten public offering, the Company and each seller agree to enter into a written agreement with the managing underwriter selected in the manner herein provided in such form and containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment stature. 8. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Sections 4, 5 and 6, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees 8 of transfer agents and registrars, costs of insurance and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the sellers of Restricted Stock, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are called "Registration Expenses". If ITI and/or Casty are the only parties (other than the Company) selling Restricted Stock pursuant to a registration statement described herein, "Registration Expenses" shall not include the fees and disbursements of counsel for such sellers of Restricted Stock. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Restricted Stock are called "Selling Expenses". The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration statement under Sections 4, 5 or 6. 9. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of such Restricted Stock thereunder, each underwriter of such Restricted Stock thereunder and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or other person, if any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such seller, any such underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus and, provided further, however, that the Company will not be liable to any such person or entity with respect to any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus that is corrected in the final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act (or any amendment or supplement to such prospectus) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased securities but was not given a copy of the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such person in any case where such delivery of the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) is required by the Securities Act, unless such failure to deliver the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of the Company's failure to provide such prospectus (as amended or supplemented). (b) In the event of a registration of any of the Restricted Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, each seller of such Restricted Stock thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the 9 registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Restricted Stock was registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 9 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 9 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate 10 counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified party although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and each holder of Restricted Stock exercising rights under this Agreement shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and such holder, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such holder on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault of, but also the relative benefits to, the Company on the one hand and such holder on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits to the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the gross proceeds received by the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the offering to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(d), each holder of Restricted Stock exercising rights under this Agreement shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the gross proceeds to such holder from sales of the Restricted Stock of such holder under a registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9(d), each person, if any, who controls a holder of Restricted Stock within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 10. Changes in Common Stock or Preferred Shares. If, and as often as, there is any change in the Common Stock or the Preferred Shares by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Common Stock or the Preferred Shares as so changed. 11 11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (b) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to each holder of Restricted Stock forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Restricted Stock without registration. 12. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor Stockholders, ITI and Casty as follows: (a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on its part and will not violate any provision of law, any order of any court or other agency of government, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws each, as amended, of the Company or any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it or any or its properties or assets is bound, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, except where the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 12 (b) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
