See accompanying notes. 5 COMPUSA INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CompUSA Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the applicable interim periods. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete interim financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 1997. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. EQUITY The Company adopted the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" in the preparation of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, the Company is required to report both "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share and to restate previously reported earnings per share amounts to conform to the provisions of SFAS 128. Basic earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") outstanding for each period presented. The dilutive effect of stock options and other common stock equivalents is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method. For the periods presented, the diluted earnings per share amounts are the same as the earnings per share amounts previously reported by the Company. In September 1997, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $60 million of Common Stock. As of December 27, 1998, the Company had purchased 935,000 shares of Common Stock, to be held as treasury stock, for approximately $30.9 million (approximately $33.01 per share), pursuant to the September 1997 authorization. In December 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $30 million of Common Stock. On May 24, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors rescinded the December 1995 authorization to purchase Common Stock. 6 COMPUSA INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (unaudited) 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a defendant from time to time in lawsuits incidental to its business. Based on currently available information, the Company believes that resolution of all known contingencies would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements. However, there can be no assurances that future costs would not be material to the results of operations of the Company for a particular future period. In addition, the Company's estimates of future costs are subject to change as circumstances change and additional information becomes available during the course of litigation. 4. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES The Company's 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2000 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") are guaranteed on a full, unconditional, and joint and several basis by all of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries, each of which is wholly owned. The combined summarized information of these subsidiaries is as follows:

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT The Company has an unsecured revolving credit agreement expiring in December 1999 (the "Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks that provides for borrowings and letters of credit up to a maximum of $150 million, with letters of credit not to exceed $75 million in the aggregate. The funds available under the Credit Agreement may be used for any corporate purpose, including purchasing or redeeming the Senior Subordinated Notes in part or in full. At December 27, 1997, the Company had approximately $149 million available for future borrowings after reduction for outstanding letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at either a prime rate (8.5% per annum as of December 27, 1997) or a rate based on the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) of 5.9% as of December 27, 1997, plus a specified margin, currently 0.75%. The Company also pays certain commitment and agent fees. The Company has the annual option to extend the Credit Agreement for an additional year with the banks' approval. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios and a minimum tangible net worth. The Credit Agreement, as amended, also imposes limitations on mergers and consolidations and prohibits the purchase of Common Stock in excess of $130 million and the payment of dividends (other than stock dividends). The Credit Agreement allows the Company to securitize up to $100 million of certain assets. The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed on a full, unconditional, and joint and several basis by all subsidiaries of the Company. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition, and prospects of the Company. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation changes in product demand, the availability of products, changes in competition, the ability of the Company to open new stores in accordance with its plans, economic conditions, real estate market fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, dependence on manufacturers' product development, various inventory risks due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax and other governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Company, and other risks indicated in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company's recent entry into the build-to-order market with its CompUSA PC(TM) brand personal computers involves significant additional risks, including without limitation failure to achieve customer acceptance of the new products and substantial dependence on third parties for product quality and reliability and timely fulfillment of customer orders. All of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases, the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects," "anticipates," and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. GENERAL All references herein to "fiscal 1998" relate to the fifty-two weeks ending June 27, 1998, and references to "fiscal 1997" relate to the fifty-two weeks ended June 28, 1997. In addition, all references herein to "second quarter of fiscal 1998" and "first six months of fiscal 1998" relate to the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks, respectively, ended December 27, 1997, and all references to "second quarter of fiscal 1997" and "first six months of fiscal 1997" relate to the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks, respectively, ended December 28, 1996. The following table sets forth certain operating data for the Company:
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- DECEMBER 27, DECEMBER 28, DECEMBER 27, DECEMBER 28, 1997 1996 1997 1996 --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Stores open at end of period........ 148 122 148 122 Stores opened during the period..... 14 14 19 17 Stores relocated during the period.. 1 -- 2 -- Average net sales per gross square foot(1)(3)......................... $ 363 $ 360 $ 680 $ 681 Comparable store sales increase(2)(3)..................... 8.8% 1.5% 7.6% 4.1%
- ---------------------- (1) Calculated using net sales divided by gross square footage of stores open at the end of the period, weighted by the number of months open during the period. (2) Comparable store sales are net sales for stores open the same number of months in both the indicated and previous period, including stores that were relocated or expanded during either period. (3) Net sales for purposes of the above calculations are comprised of net sales generated from the Company's Computer Superstores(sm), as well as the Company's national accounts group, but exclude mail order sales. 9 The Company believes the opening of additional Computer Superstores in existing markets has resulted in some reductions in the rate of comparable store sales growth. CompUSA has opened additional stores in existing markets largely to increase market penetration and to provide customers with more convenience and better service. The Company plans to continue its strategy of opening additional Computer Superstores in existing markets. The resulting diversion of sales from existing stores may adversely affect the Company's comparable store sales. However, the Company believes that this strategy should increase its awareness with local consumers, enhance its competitive position in such markets and create efficiencies in advertising and management and is therefore, in the Company's long-term best interest. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As a result of the expansion of the Company's store base, period-to-period comparisons of financial results may not be meaningful and the results of operations for historical periods may not be indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. In addition, the Company expects that its quarterly results of operations will fluctuate depending on the timing of the opening of, and the amount of net sales contributed by, new stores and the timing of costs associated with the selection, leasing, construction, and opening of new stores, as well as seasonal factors, product introductions, and changes in product mix. See "-Quarterly Data and Seasonality." The following table sets forth certain items expressed as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:

SECOND QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1997, COMPARED WITH THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1996 Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased 21.5% to $1.46 billion from $1.20 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the additional sales volume attributable to the new stores opened subsequent to the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and an increase in comparable store sales of 8.8%. The Company believes the increase in comparable store sales was primarily due to the maturation of the Company's store base, increased customer demand, and increased growth in the Company's service businesses. 10 Gross profit was $215 million, or 14.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, compared with $167 million, or 13.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to higher product margin and an increase in the ratio of service revenues to total revenues. Service revenues typically have higher gross margins than merchandise sales. The foregoing factors were partially offset by an increase in occupancy costs related to the 26 Computer Superstores opened since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Operating expenses were $125.7 million, or 8.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, compared with $102.3 million, or 8.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. In the second quarter of fiscal 1998, net advertising expense decreased as a percentage of net sales and other operating expenses increased as a percentage of net sales, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease in net advertising expense as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from increased vendor participation. The increase in other operating expenses as a percentage of net sales is due partially to the increase in the ratio of service revenues to total revenues. The increase in the ratio of service revenues to total revenues had the effect of increasing operating expenses as a percentage of net sales because operating expenses are generally higher for service revenues than for merchandise sales. Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses incurred prior to a store's opening and promotional costs associated with the opening. The Company's policy is to expense all pre-opening expenses in the month of the store's grand opening. In the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company incurred $4.0 million in pre-opening expenses in connection with the opening of 14 Computer Superstores and the relocation of one store, compared with $3.6 million in pre-opening expenses incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 in connection with the opening of 14 stores. General and administrative expenses were $28.8 million, or 2.0% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, compared with $20.7 million, or 1.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense and increased costs associated with the Company's efforts to expand certain of its current businesses as well as develop new business opportunities. Interest expense and other income, net, of $875,000, or 0.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, remained relatively constant as a percentage of net sales compared with $1.6 million, or 0.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease in interest expense and other income, net, is primarily due to increased investment income caused by higher invested cash levels. See "-Liquidity and Capital Resources." The Company's effective tax rate was 38.5% for both the second quarter of fiscal 1998 and the second quarter of fiscal 1997. As a result of the above, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was $34.1 million, or diluted earnings per share of $.36, compared with net income of $23.7 million, or $.25 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1997, COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1996 Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1998 increased 21.0% to $2.65 billion from $2.19 billion for the first six months of fiscal 1997. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the additional sales volume attributable to the new stores opened subsequent to the first six months of fiscal 1997 and an increase in comparable store sales of 7.6%. The Company believes the increase in comparable store sales was primarily due to the maturation of the Company's store base, increased customer demand, and increased growth in the Company's service businesses. 11 Gross profit was $390 million, or 14.7% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1998, compared with $304 million, or 13.9% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1997. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to higher product margin and an increase in the ratio of service revenues to total revenues. Service revenues typically have higher gross margins than merchandise sales. The foregoing factors were partially offset by an increase in occupancy costs related to the 26 Computer Superstores opened since the second quarter of fiscal 1997. Operating expenses of $234.9 million, or 8.9% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1998, remained relatively constant as a percentage of net sales compared with $192.8 million, or 8.8% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1997. In the first six months of fiscal 1998, net advertising expense decreased as a percentage of net sales and other operating expenses increased as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in net advertising expense as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from increased vendor participation. The increase in other operating expenses as a percentage of net sales is due partially to the increase in the ratio of service revenues to total revenues. The increase in the ratio of service revenues to total revenues had the effect of increasing operating expenses as a percentage of net sales because operating expenses are generally higher for service revenues than for merchandise sales. Pre-opening expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses incurred prior to a store's opening and promotional costs associated with the opening. In the first six months of fiscal 1998, the Company incurred $5.5 million in pre- opening expenses in connection with the opening of 19 Computer Superstores and the relocation of two stores, compared with $4.5 million in pre-opening expenses incurred in the first six months of fiscal 1997 in connection with the opening of 17 new stores. General and administrative expenses were $54.4 million, or 2.1% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1998, compared with $41.8 million, or 1.9% of net sales, for the first six months of fiscal 1997. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense and increased costs associated with Company's efforts to expand certain of its current businesses as well as develop new business opportunities. Interest expense and other income, net, of $2.0 million, or 0.1% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1998, remained relatively constant as a percentage of net sales compared with $2.4 million, or 0.2% of net sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1997. See "-Liquidity and Capital Resources." The Company's effective tax rate was 38.5% for both the first six months of fiscal 1998 and the first six months of fiscal 1997. As a result of the above, net income for the first six months of fiscal 1998 was $57.5 million, or diluted earnings per share of $.60, compared with net income of $38.3 million, or $.40 per share, for the first six months of fiscal 1997. QUARTERLY DATA AND SEASONALITY The Company expects that its quarterly results of operations will fluctuate depending on the timing of the opening of, and the amount of net sales contributed by, new stores and the timing of costs associated with the selection, leasing, construction, and opening of new stores, as well as seasonal factors, product introductions, and changes in product mix. Based upon its past operating history, the Company believes that its business is seasonal. Excluding the effects of new store openings, net sales and earnings are generally lower during the first and fourth fiscal quarters than in the second and third fiscal quarters. 12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 27, 1997, total assets were $1.43 billion, $1.22 billion of which were current assets, including $292 million of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 1998 was $161 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $115 million for the first six months of fiscal 1997. Approximately three-fourths of the Company's net sales during the second quarter of both fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 were sales for which the Company received payment at the time of sale either in cash, by check, or by third-party credit card. The remaining net sales were primarily sales for which the Company provided credit terms to corporate, government, and education customers. Merchandise inventories increased to $680 million at December 27, 1997, from $501 million at June 28, 1997. The increase in merchandise inventories is primarily attributable to inventories at the 19 Computer Superstores opened in the first six months of fiscal 1998 and higher inventories at the Company's distribution and configuration facilities. Capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 1998 were $49.7 million, of which $16.6 million were for fiscal 1998 new stores and $6.9 million were for existing stores, compared with $41.3 million of capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 1997, of which $14.9 million were for fiscal 1997 new stores and $6.1 million were for existing stores. In addition to these capital expenditures incurred in connection with new stores, the Company also incurred capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 related to improvements made in information systems and additions to property and equipment at the Company's corporate facilities. Excluding the effects of new store openings, the Company's greatest short-term capital requirements occur during the second fiscal quarter to support a higher level of sales in that quarter. During fiscal 1998, the Company plans to open approximately 30 to 35 new Computer Superstores and anticipates total capital expenditures of approximately $100 to $120 million. The Company believes its available cash and cash equivalents and vendor and bank financing are sufficient to satisfy its short-term capital requirements. The Company has an unsecured $150 million credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a consortium of banks that expires in December 1999. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios and a minimum tangible net worth and restricts, among other things, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. However, the Credit Agreement allows the Company to securitize up to $100 million of certain assets. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 27, 1997, the Company had approximately $149 million available for future borrowings after reduction for outstanding letters of credit. The Company also finances certain fixture and equipment acquisitions through equipment lessors. Lease financing is available from numerous sources and the Company evaluates equipment leasing as a supplemental source of financing on a continuing basis. The Company believes that its available cash and cash equivalents, funds generated by operations, currently available vendor and floor plan financing, lease financing, and funds available under the Credit Agreement should be sufficient to finance its continuing operations and expansion plans through the end of fiscal 1998 and to make all required payments of interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes. The level of future expansion will be contingent upon the availability of additional capital. INFLATION While inflation has not had, and the Company does not expect it to have, a material impact upon operating results, there can be no assurances that the Company's business will not be affected by inflation in the future. 13 YEAR 2000 ISSUES The Company has undertaken various initiatives intended to ensure that the computer equipment and software used by the Company will function properly with respect to the dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. Based upon its assessments to date, the Company believes that certain of the computer equipment and software it currently uses will require replacement or modification. In addition, in the ordinary course of replacing computer systems, the Company attempts to utilize replacement systems that are Year 2000 compliant. Utilizing both internal and external resources to identify needs for Year 2000 modifications, the Company currently anticipates that the modification and conversion efforts will be completed in various stages from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999 and that such modifications will be completed prior to any currently anticipated impact on its systems. The Company is also in the process of initiating communications with its significant suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which system interfaces with such entities are vulnerable to Year 2000 issues and whether the products purchased by or from such entities are Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that the costs to modify its systems to be Year 2000 compliant, as well as the currently anticipated costs with respect to Year 2000 issues of third parties, will not exceed $5.0 million, which expenditures will be funded from operating cash flows. The Company presently believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company. However, if modifications and conversions are not made as they are identified, or are not completed timely, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or adversely affect the Company's relationships with customers, suppliers, or others. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 issues of such entities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's systems or business. The costs of the efforts to be expended by the Company and the date on which the Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based upon management's best estimates, which are derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. However, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated. 14 PART II ITEM 1.

The total number of shares of capital stock the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 325,010,000 shares as follows:
Number Par Value Aggregate Class of Stock of Shares Per Share Amount -------------- --------- --------- ------ Preferred (the "Preferred Stock") 10,000 $.01 $ 100 Common (the "Common Stock") 325,000,000 $.01 $3,250,000
A. PREFERRED STOCK, $.01 PAR SECTION 1. DESIGNATION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to establish and designate the different series and to fix and determine the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in a resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors, which powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions need not be uniform among series. Any of the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any such series of stock may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors, provided that the manner in which such facts shall operate upon the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series of stock is clearly and expressly set forth in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors. Any resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the authority vested in them by this Article Fourth, Section A shall be set forth in a certificate of designation along with the number of shares of stock of such series as to which the resolution or resolutions shall apply and such certificate shall be executed, acknowledged, filed, recorded, and shall become effective, in accordance with (S)103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Unless otherwise provided in any such resolution or resolutions, the number of shares of stock of any such series -2- to which such resolution or resolutions apply may be increased (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by a certificate likewise executed, acknowledged, filed and recorded, setting forth a statement that a specified increase or decrease therein has been authorized and directed by a resolution or resolutions likewise adopted by the Board of Directors. In case the number of such shares shall be decreased, the number of shares so specified in the certificate shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the first resolution or resolutions. When no shares of any such class or series are outstanding, either because none were issued or because none remain outstanding, a certificate setting forth a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors that none of the authorized shares of such class or series are outstanding, and that none will be issued subject to the certificate of designations previously filed with respect to such class or series, may be executed, acknowledged, filed and recorded in the same manner as previously described and it shall have the effect of eliminating from the Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the certificate of designations with respect to such class or series of stock. If no shares of any such class or series established by a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors have been issued, the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, with the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, may be amended by a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. In the event of any such amendment, a certificate which (1) states that no shares of such class or series have been issued, (2) sets forth the copy of the amending resolution or resolutions and (3) if the designation of such class or series is being changed, indicates the original designation and the new designation, shall be executed, acknowledged, filed, recorded, and shall become effective, in accordance with (S)103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office (or at such other place as the Corporation reasonably designates) a register for the registration of Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and, if applicable with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, dividends shall accrue on the Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate. The issuance of new certificates to holders of surrendered certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax with respect therefor or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance. SECTION 3. REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing shares of any series of Preferred -3- Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such series represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and, if applicable with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, dividends shall accrue on the Preferred Stock represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. SECTION 4. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Section A shall be effective without the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock outstanding at the time such action is taken. B. COMMON STOCK Except as otherwise provided in this Section B or as otherwise required by applicable law, all shares of Common Stock shall be identical in all respects and shall entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section B or as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation. SECTION 2. DIVIDENDS. As and when dividends are declared or paid thereon, whether in cash, property or securities of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in such dividends ratably on a per share basis. The rights of the holders of Common Stock to receive dividends are subject to the provisions of the Preferred Stock. SECTION 3. LIQUIDATION. Subject to the provisions of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to participate ratably on a per share basis in all distributions to the holders of Common Stock in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. SECTION 4. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office (or such other place as the Corporation reasonably designates) a register for the registration of shares of Common Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of Common Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificate, and the Corporation forthwith shall cancel such surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of shares of Common Stock as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and will be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate. The issuance of new certificates to holders of surrendered -4- certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect therefor or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance. SECTION 5. REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder will be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing one or more shares of Common Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. SECTION 6. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Section B shall be effective without the prior approval of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock outstanding at the time such action is taken.

(e) No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken by written consent of stockholders, unless a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon and delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Article Fifth (e) to the Corporation, written consents signed by all of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
