Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited

Organization and Purpose

LightPath Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on June 15, 1992 as the successor to LightPath Technologies Limited Partnership formed in 1989, and its predecessor, Integrated Solar Technologies Corporation formed on August 23, 1985. The Company is engaged in the production of GRADIUM(R) glass lenses and the research and development of additional GRADIUM applications. During the period from August 23, 1985 to June 30, 1996 the Company was a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 "Development Stage Enterprises". Planned principal operations commenced during fiscal year 1997 and, accordingly, the Company is no longer considered a development stage company.

GRADIUM glass is an optical quality glass material with varying refractive indices, capable of reducing optical aberrations inherent in conventional lenses and performing with a single lens, or fewer lenses, tasks performed by multi-element conventional lens systems.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Matters

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes included in the Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 1997.

The information furnished, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the year as a whole.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in the bank and temporary investments with maturities of ninety days or less when purchased.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets from three to seven years.

Intangible assets consisting of patents and trademarks, are recorded at cost. Upon issuance of the patent or trademark, these assets are being amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets from ten to seventeen years. The recoverability of carrying values of these assets is evaluated on a recurring basis.

Investment consists of the Company's 51% ownership interest in LightChip Inc., which is accounted for under the equity method as the Company anticipates their equity position to fall below 50% during the current fiscal year.

Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

LightPath Technologies, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited

Revenue recognition occurs upon shipment of products or as earned under product development agreements.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock based employee compensation is accounted for under the provision of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which requires no recognition of compensation expense when the exercise price of the employees stock option equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

Pro forma information required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, has been presented under the fair value method using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Per share data is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Restricted Class E common shares and stock options for the purchase of Class E common shares are considered contingently issuable and, accordingly, are excluded from the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings (loss) per share and to restate all prior periods. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of earnings (loss) per share is not expected to be material.

Management uses estimates and makes assumptions during the preparation of the Company's financial statements that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which in turn could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Financial instruments of the Company are valued as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable to stockholder approximate fair value.

Impairment of long-lived assets was adopted for the fiscal year 1997 by the Company as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of intangible or other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

2. Inventories

The components of inventories include the following:

                                   September 30,

3. Stockholders' Equity

Authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock; no par value. In June 1997 the Board of Directors designated 250 shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; $.01 par value. The Company entered into a private placement transaction which provided proceeds on the sale of 180 shares of Series A Preferred Stock totaling $1,800,000, less issuance costs of approximately $203,711, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1,596,289 by the final closing date, July 25, 1997. In September 1997 the Board of Directors designated 300 shares as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; $.01 par value. The Company entered into a private placement transaction which provided proceeds on the sale of 230 shares of Series B Preferred Stock totaling $2,300,000, less issuance costs of approximately $232,000 resulted in net proceeds of approximately $2,068,000 by the final closing date, October 2, 1997.

The Series A and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $10,000 per share, plus an 8% per annum premium. The holders of the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote or to receive dividends. Each share of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Class A common stock at the option of the holder, with volume limitations during the first 9 months after the final closing date, based on its stated value at the conversion date divided by a conversion price. The conversion price is defined as the lesser of $5.625 and $7.2375 for the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, or 85% of the average closing bid price of the Company's Class A common stock for the five days preceding the conversion date. The discount provision in both the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is recognized as an imputed deemed dividend in the amount of $318,200 and $406,700, respectively, reducing income available to common shareholders on a pro rata basis from the date of issuance to the first date that conversion can occur.

Designations, rights, and preferences related to the remaining preferred shares may be determined by the Board of Directors. The terms of any series of preferred stock may include priority claims to assets and dividends and voting or other rights.

Warrants

Class E and Class F warrants were issued in connection with the private placement of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which was completed by October 2, 1997. A total of 317,788 Class E warrants were granted to the preferred stockholders which entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.24 until September 2000. A total of 47,668 Class F warrants were granted to the placement agent which entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price defined as the lesser of $7.24 or the average closing bid price for the Company's Class A common stock for the five day period preceding the conversion date, until September 2002. The Company is required to register the Class A common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and the Class E and Class F warrants within 120 days of the closing.

4. Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares, consisting of options, warrants and convertible preferred stock for all periods, were not included in the computation as their effect was antidilutive. However, the eight percent premium earned by the preferred shareholders in the period was added to the net loss for computation purposes increasing the net loss per common share by $.01. In addition, net loss applicable to common shareholders was increased by an imputed deemed dividend in the amount of $238,650 or $.08 per share. The imputed deemed dividend resulted from a discount provision included in the Series A Preferred Stock issued on July 25, 1997. The unamortized imputed deemed dividend on Series A and the imputed deemed dividend included in the Series B Preferred Stock issued on October 2, 1997, will be recognized in subsequent quarters.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations

Results of Operations

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("the Act") provides a safe harbor for forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures, growth, product development, sales, business strategy and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company's early state of development, the need for additional financing, and intense competition in various aspects of its business. In light of these risks and uncertainties, all of the forward-looking statements made are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized.

Three months ended September 30, 1997, "1998" compared with three months ended September 30,1996, "1997"

Revenues totaled $166,119 for the first quarter of 1998, an increase of approximately $43,000 or 34% over 1997. The increase was attributable to an increase of $136,000 in lens sales which was offset by a decrease of $93,000 in product development/ license fees. The Company's increase in lens sales is primarily due to sales for lasers, distributors and wafer chip inspection markets. The Company's efforts in targeting laser applications, an area where GRADIUM's lenses ability to increase the quality of YAG laser beams and reduce the focal spot size, has received increasing market acceptance. The Company filled a production order from Karl Storz for 500 lenses in July 1997 and anticipates more significant production orders in 1998 after they have evaluated their product. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company received a production order for $80,000 in catalog lenses from a U.S. distributor for their international catalog. The Company provided The Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd ("Fuji"), which is a subsidiary of Fuji Photo Film Co., GRADIUM profiles under the terms of an exclusive agreement whereby Fuji will evaluate the lenses for eight months. As we near the end of the evaluation period, Fuji will have the right to engage in a long-term license and purchase agreement or negotiate an extension with LightPath. Revenues for government funded subcontracts in the area of solar energy totaled $18,000 for 1998 versus $111,000 in l997. The Company had completed the two government sub-contracts during 1997 however, the Company received an amendment to the original solar project during the first quarter of 1998 which requires an additional $68,000 in services to be provided during 1998. At September 30, 1997, a backlog of $160,000 existed for lens sales. The Company's backlog on its current government projects is approximately $50,000.

The Company continues to work with a number of OEM's towards the completion of projects which may result in production orders for LightPath. The Company added to its staff, hiring Vice President of Marketing and Sales. The position's goal is to expand the Company's presence in traditional optics and develop emerging markets such as optoelectronics, photonics and solar. The Company formalized relationships with four additional foreign distributors in 1998 bringing its total to eight industrial, optoelectronic and medical component distributors based around the globe. The Company believes these distributors may create new markets for GRADIUM in their countries primarily in the area of sales into the YAG laser market.

Cost of sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998 was 56% of product sales, a significant decrease from the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 when cost of sales equaled product sales. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in outside finishing expenses and more efficient production techniques. It is anticipated that with increased volume and the increased utilization of off-shore lens finishers, the cost of production could be decreased further. Administrative costs increased $187,049, or 28% from 1997, primarily due to the addition of personnel in sales and marketing, administration and operations along with increased overhead in these areas. The Company's public awareness campaign, through print advertising, web site and trade shows continues to generate inquiries. Research and development costs decreased $93,303 in 1998 versus 1997. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company spent approximately $120,000 on a benchmarking and prediction analysis of technologies related to the Company's proprietary processes in the manufacturing of GRADIUM glass. These costs were not recurring. The research department staff has increased to approximately 6 full time equivalents. The focus of the development efforts has been to expand GRADIUM product lines to the areas of multiplexers and interconnects for the telecommunications field, the addition of the crown glass product line to supplement its existing flint products, development of acrylic axial gradient material to extend the product range, and upgrade the proprietary material design software and optical design tools to facilitate product design.

LightPath Technologies, Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations

Investment income decreased approximately $23,000 in 1998 due to the decrease in interest earned on temporary investments as cash levels declined. Interest expense was not significant in 1998 or 1997. The Company funded its portion of LightChip, Inc. ("LightChip") during 1998 and announced the hiring of LightChip's CEO. The Company has accounted for the investment in LightChip under the equity method and recognized a loss of $9,680 in 1998.

Net loss of $912,599 in 1998 was an increase of $155,470 from 1997 due to reduced gross margin of $28,106, increases in selling, general and administrative costs of $187,049 and the decrease in other income(expense) of $33,618 which are offset by lower research and development costs of $93,303. Net loss per share of $.42 was a decrease of $.14 of which $.09 was due to the imputed deemed dividend and the 8% preferred stock premium on the Series A Preferred Stock and the remaining $.05 decrease was due to reduced gross margin of $.01, increase in selling, general and administrative costs of $.07 and the decrease in other income of $.01 offset by research and development expenses of $.04.

Financial Resources and Liquidity

LightPath had financed its operations through private placements of equity, or debt until February 1996 when the IPO generated net proceeds of approximately $7,200,000. In July 1997 the Company completed a preferred stock private placement which generated net proceeds of approximately $1,600,000. The same group of investors entered into a second private placement in September 1997 which generated net proceeds of approximately $2,100,000 when completed on October 2, 1997. The Company intends to continue to explore additional funding opportunities in fiscal year 1998. The Company expects to continue to incur losses until such time, if ever, as it obtains market acceptance for its products at sale prices and volumes which provide adequate gross revenues to offset its operating costs. The Company has budgeted operating and research cash requirements for fiscal 1998 at $3,000,000 which is comparable to the actual results for fiscal year 1997. Included in the cash requirements is $700,000 to continue its research and development efforts in fiscal year 1998. For the first quarter 1998, the Company exceeded the quarterly budget by approximately $150,000 of which $25,000 was attributable to overages in research and development expenditures. During fiscal 1998, the Company projects approximately $500,000 will be expended for capital equipment and patent protection. During the first quarter actual expenditures were $113,000. The majority of the capital expenditures during the quarter were for additional computers and equipment to expand its manufacturing facilities. The Company purchased its 51% share in LightChip for $23,720. LightChip continues to work towards completion of bridge financing and a significant equity investment in LightChip.

The Company believes that projected product sales and proceeds from the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock private placements will be sufficient to cover the fiscal 1998 operating and capital budget. The Company's capital requirements after such period will be satisfied by revenues generated from product sales. Such sales will depend on the extent that GRADIUM glass becomes commercially accepted and the success of the Company's sales program in generating sales sufficient to sustain its operations. Although lens sales for the first quarter 1998 have increased ten times 1997 first quarter levels, there can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to fund its future operations and growth strategies. In addition, the Company may be required to seek additional financing or alter its business plan in the event of delays for commercial production orders or unanticipated expenses. The Company currently has no credit facility with a bank or other financial institution. There also can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available if needed, or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event necessary financing is not obtained, the Company will be materially adversely affected and have to cease or substantially reduce its operations. Any commercial financing obtained by the Company in the future is likely to impose certain financial and other restrictive covenants upon the Company and result in additional interest expense. Further, any issuance of additional equity or debt securities could result in further dilution to the existing investors.

The Company has not been significantly impacted by inflation due to the nature of its product components and in prior years the Company was principally engaged in basic research and development. The Company does not believe that seasonality will have a significant impact on its business.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There have been no material developments in any other legal actions since the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1997. LightPath is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, none of which are considered material to the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

The issuance of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively the "Preferred Stock") by the Company limits the rights of the Company's Common Stock in the following manner. Each share of Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $10,000, plus an 8% per annum premium. The holders of the Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote or to receive dividends. In the event of liquidation of the Company or a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive distributions prior to any distribution to holders of the Company's Common Stock. Conversion of the Preferred Stock could potentially have a material dilutive effect upon shares of Common stock outstanding at the time of such conversion. A full description of the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock is set forth in Exhibit 3.2 to this Form 10-QSB.

The Company completed the private placement which began June 30, 1996 for an aggregate of 180 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Stock") and 320,000 attached Class C warrants on July 25, 1997. Each share of Series A Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock at the option of holder, with volume limitations during the first 9 months, based on its stated value at the conversion date divided by a conversion price. The conversion price is defined as the lesser of $5.625 or 85% of the average closing bid price of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the five days preceding the conversion date. Each Class C Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at $5.63 per share at any time through July 2000. The gross amount received for the private placement of Series A Stock was $1,800,000, less placement fees and related expenses resulting in net proceeds of $1,586,454. In addition, the placement agent was granted 64,000 Class D warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $5.63 per share at any time through July 2002.

The Company completed a private placement for an aggregate of 230 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") and 317,788 attached Class E warrants on October 2, 1997. Each share of Series B Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock at the option of holder, with volume limitations during the first 9 months, based on its stated value at the conversion date divided by a conversion price. The conversion price is defined as the lesser of $7.2375 or 85% of the average closing bid price of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the five days preceding the conversion date. Each Class E Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at $7.24 per share at any time through September 2000. The gross amount received for the private placement of Series A Stock was $2,300,000, less placement fees and related expenses resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2,068,000. In addition, the placement agent was granted 47,668 Class F warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $7.24 per share at any time through September 2002.

All of the Preferred Stock, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Warrants were issued to accredited investors in private placements pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Restrictions have been imposed on the resale of such securities, including the placement of legends thereon noting such restrictions, and written disclosure of such restrictions were made prior to issuance of the securities.

Exhibit 3.2

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
OF LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES, INC. FILED OCTOBER 2, 1997

It is hereby certified that:

1. The name of the Company (hereinafter called the "Company") is LightPath Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

2. The certificate of incorporation of the Company authorizes the issuance of five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share, and expressly vests in the Board of Directors of the Company the authority provided therein to issue any or all of said shares in one (1) or more Series B and by resolution or resolutions to establish the designation and number and to fix the relative rights and preferences of each series to be issued.

3. The Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the following resolutions creating a Series B issue of Preferred Stock:

RESOLVED, that three hundred (300) of the five million (5,000,000) authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the Company shall be designated Series B Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share, and shall possess the rights and preferences set forth below:

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall have a par value of $.01 per share and shall be designated as Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series B Preferred Stock shall be three hundred (300). The Series B Preferred Stock shall be offered at a purchase price of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per share (the "Original Series B Issue Price"), with an eight percent (8%) per annum accretion rate as set forth herein.

Section 2. Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank: (i) junior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Senior Securities"); (ii) prior to all of the Company's Class A, Class E-1, Class E-2, and Class E-3 Common Stock, all at a $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"); (iii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with any Series B Preferred Stock of whatever subdivision (collectively, with the Common Stock, "Junior Securities"); and (iv) on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and with any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock ("Parity Securities") in each case as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (all such distributions being referred to collectively as "Distributions").

Section 3. Dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock will bear no dividends, and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock ("Holders") shall not be entitled to receive dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.

Section 4. Liquidation Preference.

(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company ("Liquidation Event"), either voluntary or involuntary, the then Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, immediately after any distributions to Senior Securities required by the Company's Certificate of

1

Incorporation or any certificate of designation, and prior in preference to any distribution to Junior Securities but in parity with any distribution to Parity Securities, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) the Original Series B Issue Price for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the Original Series B Issue Price, per annum, accruing daily, for the period that has passed since the date that, in connection with the consummation of the purchase by Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the Company, the escrow agent first had in its possession funds representing full payment for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (such amount being referred to herein as the "Premium"). If upon the occurrence of such event, and after payment in full of the preferential amounts with respect to the Senior Securities, the assets and funds available to be distributed among the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the full preferential amounts due to the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Parity Securities, respectively, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed among the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Parity Securities, pro rata, based on the respective liquidation amounts to which each such series of stock is entitled by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and any certificate(s) of designation relating thereto.

(b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsection 4(a), if assets remain in this Company, they shall be distributed to holders of Junior Securities in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation including any duly adopted certificate(s) of designation.

(c) At each Holder's option, a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event as defined in Section 4(a); provided further that (i) a consolidation, merger, acquisition, or other business combination of the Company with or into any other publicly traded company or companies shall not be treated as a Liquidation Event as defined in Section 4(a) but instead shall be treated pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof, and (ii) a consolidation, merger, acquisition, or other business combination of the Company with or into any other non-publicly traded company or companies shall be treated as a Liquidation Event as defined in Section 4(a). The Company shall not effect any transaction described in subsection 4(c)(ii) unless it first gives thirty (30) business days prior notice of such transaction during which time the Holder shall be entitled to immediately convert any or all of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price, as defined below, then in effect, which conversion shall not be subject to the conversion restrictions set forth in Section 5(a).

(d) In the event that, immediately prior to the closing of a transaction described in Section 4(c) which would constitute a Liquidation Event, the cash distributions required by Section 4(a) or Section 6 have not been made, the Company shall either: (i) cause such closing to be reasonably postponed until such cash distributions have been made, (ii) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights of the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be the same as existing immediately prior to such proposed transaction or (iii) agree, and shall require that any successor company resulting from a Liquidation Event agrees, to make such distributions as quickly after the closing of such Liquidation Event as reasonably practicable, upon the same terms and in the same amounts as the Company would have made if such distribution was made immediately prior to the closing of such transaction.

Section 5. Conversion. Subject to Section 4(c) herein, the record Holders of this Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

(a) Right to Convert. The record Holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert, subject to the Company's right of redemption set forth in Section 6(a) and the conversion restrictions herein below, any or all the aggregate principal amount of the Series B Preferred Stock on or after the date that is four (4) months after the Last Closing Date, as defined below, at the office of the Company or its designated

2

transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"), into that number of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock calculated in accordance with the following formula (the "Conversion Rate"):

Number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of one
(1) share of Series B Preferred Stock =

(.08) (N/365) (10,000) + 10,000

Conversion Price

where,

o N= the number of days between (i) the date that, in connection with the consummation of the initial purchase by Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the Company, the escrow agent first had in its possession funds representing full payment for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which conversion is being elected, and (ii) the applicable Date of Conversion (as defined in Section 5(b)(iv) below) for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which conversion is being elected, and

o Conversion Price = the lesser of (x) 100% of the average Closing Bid Price, as that term is defined below, of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the five (5) trading days ending on September 24, 1997, which is $7.2375 (the "Fixed Conversion Price"), or (y) 85% of the average Closing Bid Price, as that term is defined below, of the Company's Class A Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Date of Conversion, as defined below (the "Variable Conversion Price"),

provided, however, that, unless otherwise indicated herein, beginning on the date that is four (4) months following the Last Closing Date, as defined below, the right of the Holder to convert into Class A Common Stock using the Variable Conversion Price initially shall be limited to a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to such Holder, and for each one (1) month period which expires thereafter, the Holder shall accrue the right to convert into Class A Common Stock an additional twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to such Holder, (the number of shares that may be converted at any given time using the Variable Conversion Price, in the aggregate, is referred to hereinafter as the "Conversion Quota"); and provided, further, in the event that the Holder elects not to convert its full Conversion Quota during any one (1) month period, the unconverted amount shall be carried forward and added to the Conversion Quota, and thereafter the Holder may, from time to time, convert any portion of the Conversion Quota at the Variable Conversion Price; and provided, further, that subsequent to the date that is nine (9) months following the Last Closing Date, there shall be no restrictions on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that may be converted into Class A Common Stock using the Variable Conversion Price; and provided, further, that a Holder can convert one hundred percent (100%) of the Series B Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, into Class A Common Stock using the Fixed Conversion Price on or after the date that is four (4) months after the Last Closing Date whether or not the Fixed Conversion Price is less than the Variable Conversion Price.

As used herein, "Last Closing Date" shall mean the date of the last closing of a purchase and sale of the Series B Preferred Stock that occurs pursuant to the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock by the Company.

For purposes hereof, any Holder which acquires shares of Series B Preferred Stock from another Holder (the "Transferor") and not upon original issuance from the Company shall be entitled to exercise its conversion right as to the percentages of such shares specified under Section 5(a) in such amounts and at such times such that the number of shares eligible for conversion by such Holder at any time shall be in the same proportion that

3

the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired by such Holder from its Transferor bears to the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock originally issued by the Company to such Transferor (or its predecessor Transferor).

For purposes hereof, the term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean the closing bid price of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, or if no longer traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the closing bid price on the principal national securities exchange or the over-the-counter on which the Class A Common Stock is so traded and if not available, the mean of the high and low prices on the principal national securities exchange or the over-the-counter system on which the Class A Common Stock is so traded.

(b) Mechanics of Conversion. In order to convert Series B Preferred Stock into full shares of Class A Common Stock, the Holder shall (i) send via facsimile, on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time (the "Conversion Notice Deadline") on the Date of Conversion, a copy of the fully executed notice of conversion ("Notice of Conversion") to the Company at the office of the Company and to its designated transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") for the Series B Preferred Stock stating that the Holder elects to convert, which notice shall specify the Date of Conversion, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, the applicable Conversion Price and a calculation of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (together with a copy of the front page of each certificate to be converted) and (ii) surrender to a common courier for delivery to the office of the Company or the Transfer Agent, the original certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock being converted (the "Preferred Stock Certificates"), duly endorsed for transfer; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless either the Preferred Stock Certificates are delivered to the Company or its Transfer Agent as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company or its Transfer Agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed (subject to the requirements of subparagraph (i) below). Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion, the Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of the Notice of Conversion to Holder which shall specify that the Notice of Conversion has been received and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company whom the Holder should contact regarding information related to the Conversion. In the case of a dispute as to the calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Shares that are not disputed and shall submit the disputed calculations to its outside accountant via facsimile within three (3) days of receipt of Holder's Notice of Conversion. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the calculations and notify the Company and Holder of the results no later than two business days from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Accountant's calculation shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver new Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue such lost or stolen Preferred Stock Certificates if Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Series B Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock.

(ii) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. The Company shall or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, no later than the close of business on the second (2nd) business day (the "Deadline") after receipt by the Company or the Transfer Agent of a facsimile copy of a Notice of Conversion and receipt by Company or the Transfer Agent of all necessary documentation duly executed and in proper form required for conversion, including the original Preferred Stock Certificates to be converted (or after provision for security or indemnification in the case of lost or destroyed certificates, if required), issue and surrender to a common courier for either overnight or (if delivery is outside the United States) two (2) day delivery to the Holder at the address of

4

the Holder as shown on the stock records of the Company a certificate for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid.

(iii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock would create a fractional share of Class A Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Class A Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion, in the aggregate, shall be the next higher number of shares.

(iv) Date of Conversion. The date on which conversion occurs (the "Date of Conversion") shall be deemed to be the date set forth in such Notice of Conversion, provided (i) that the advance copy of the Notice of Conversion is sent via facsimile to the Company before 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Date of Conversion, and (ii) that the original Preferred Stock Certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted are surrendered by depositing such certificates with a common courier, for delivery to the Company or the Transfer Agent as provided above, as soon as practicable after the Date of Conversion. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock on the Date of Conversion.

(c) Automatic Conversion or Redemption. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding on the date which is three (3) years after the Last Closing Date or, if not a business day, the first business day thereafter ("Termination Date") automatically shall, at the option of the Company, either
(i) be converted ("Automatic Conversion") into Class A Common Stock on such date at the Conversion Rate then in effect (calculated in accordance with the formula in Section 5(a) above), and the Termination Date shall be deemed the Date of Conversion with respect to such conversion for purposes of this Certificate of Designation, or (ii) be redeemed ("Automatic Redemption") by the Company for cash in an amount equal to the Stated Value (as defined in Section 6(b)(i) below) of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed. If the Company elects to redeem, on the Termination Date, the Company shall send to the Holders of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock notice (the "Automatic Redemption Notice") via facsimile of its intent to effect an Automatic Redemption of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. If the Company does not send such notice to Holder on such date, an Automatic Conversion shall be deemed to have occurred. If an Automatic Conversion occurs, the Company and the Holders shall follow the applicable conversion procedures set forth in this Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that the Holders are not required to send the Notice of Conversion contemplated by Section 5(b). If the Company elects to redeem, each Holder of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock shall send their certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock to the Company within five (5) days of the date of receipt of the Automatic Redemption Notice from the Company, and the Company shall pay the applicable redemption price to each respective Holder within five (5) days of the receipt of such certificates. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver the redemption price unless the certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock are delivered to the Company, or, in the event one or more certificates have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, unless the Holder has complied with Section 5(b)(i). If the Company elects to redeem under this Section 5(c) and the Company fails to pay the Holders the redemption price within five (5) days of its receipt of the certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed as required by this Section 5(c), then an Automatic Conversion shall be deemed to have occurred and, upon receipt of the Preferred Stock certificates, the Company shall immediately deliver to the Holders the certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which the Holders would have been entitled upon Automatic Conversion.

(d) Adjustment to Conversion Rate.

(i) Adjustment to Fixed Conversion Price Due to Stock Split, Stock Dividend, Etc. If, prior to the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be

5

proportionately reduced, or if the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.

(ii) Adjustment to Variable Conversion Price. If, at any time when any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar event, which event shall have taken place during the reference period for determination of the Conversion Price for any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, then the Variable Conversion Price shall be calculated giving appropriate effect to the stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event for all five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Date of Conversion.

(iii) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, prior to the conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity or there is a sale of all or substantially all the Company's assets or there is a change of control transaction not deemed to be a liquidation pursuant to Section 4(c), then the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Class A Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities and/or other assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had the Series B Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such transaction, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect any transaction described in this subsection 5(d)(iii) unless (a) it first gives at least thirty (30) days prior notice of such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert its shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designation including this subsection 5(d)(iii).

(iv) No Fractional Shares. If any adjustment under this Section 5(d) would create a fractional share of Class A Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Class A Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be the next higher number of shares.

Section 6. Redemption by Company.

(a) Company's Right to Redeem Upon Receipt of Notice of Conversion. If the Variable Conversion Price of the Company's Class A Common Stock is less than the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5(a)), at the time of receipt of a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 5(b), the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem in whole or in part any Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion at the Redemption Rate (as defined below), immediately prior to and in lieu of conversion ("Redemption Upon Receipt of Notice of Conversion"). If the Company elects to redeem some, but not all, of the Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion, the Company shall redeem from among the Series B Preferred Stock submitted by the various shareholders for conversion on the applicable date, a pro-rata amount from each such Holder so submitting Series B Preferred Stock for conversion.

6

(i) Redemption Price Upon Receipt of a Notice of Conversion. The redemption price of Series B Preferred Stock under this Section 6(a) shall be calculated as follows ("Redemption Rate"): 120% of the Stated Value, where Stated Value shall have the same meaning as defined in Section 6(b)(i) below.

(ii) Mechanics of Redemption Upon Receipt of Notice of Conversion. The Company shall effect each such redemption by giving notice of its election to redeem, by facsimile, by 5:00 p.m. New York City time the next business day following receipt of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, and the Company shall provide a copy of such redemption notice by overnight or two (2) day courier, to (A) the Holder of the Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion at the address and facsimile number of such Holder appearing in the Company's register for the Series B Preferred Stock and (B) the Company's Transfer Agent. Such redemption notice shall indicate whether the Company will redeem all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion and the applicable redemption price.

(iii) Redemption Buy-In. If (i) subsequent to the tender of a Notice of Conversion, but prior to its receipt of a Notice of Redemption Upon Notice of Conversion, the Holder sells shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Redemption Sold Shares") which such Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion, (ii) the Company effects a Redemption Upon Receipt of Notice of Conversion with respect to such conversion, and (iii) the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction), no later than the close of trading on the trading day following its receipt of the Notice of Redemption Upon Notice of Conversion, shares of Class A Common Stock to make delivery upon the sale of the Redemption Sold Shares (a "Redemption Buy-In"), the Company shall pay such Holder (in addition to the applicable Redemption Rate) the amount by which (x) such Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commission, if any) for the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in the Redemption Buy-In exceeds
(y) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Redemption Sold Shares. For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Class A Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Redemption Buy-In with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock sold for $10,000, the Company will be required to pay such Holder $1,000. A Holder shall provide the Company written notification (and trading records, if reasonably requested by the Company) indicating any amounts payable to Holder pursuant to this Section.

(b) Company's Right to Redeem at its Election. At any time, commencing twelve (12) months and one (1) day after the Last Closing Date, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to redeem ("Redemption at Company's Election"), from time to time, any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided (i) the Company shall first provide thirty (30) days advance written notice as provided in subparagraph 6(b)(ii) below (which can be given beginning thirty (30) days prior to the date which is twelve (12) months and one
(1) day after the Last Closing Date), and (ii) that the Company shall only be entitled to redeem Series B Preferred Stock having an aggregate Stated Value (as defined below) of at least Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($375,000). If the Company elects to redeem some, but not all, of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem a pro-rata amount from each Holder of the Series B Preferred Stock.

(i) Redemption Price At Company's Election. The "Redemption Price At Company's Election" shall be calculated as a percentage of Stated Value, as that term is defined below, of the Series B Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 6(b), which percentage shall vary depending on the date of Redemption at Company's Election (as defined below), and shall be determined as follows:

Date of Notice of Redemption at Company's Election        % of Stated Value
--------------------------------------------------        -----------------

12 months and 1 day to 18 months following Last Closing Date     130%
18 months and 1 day to 24 months following Last Closing Date     125%
24 months and 1 day to 30 months following Last Closing Date     120%
                                  7

30 months and 1 day to 36 months following Last Closing Date     115%

For purposes hereof, "Stated Value" shall mean the Original Series B Issue Price (as defined in Section 1)) of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being redeemed pursuant to this Section 6(b), together with the accreted but unpaid Premium (as defined in Section 4(a)).

(ii) Mechanics of Redemption at Company's Election. The Company shall effect each such redemption by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice ("Notice of Redemption At Company's Election") to (A) the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock selected for redemption, at the address and facsimile number of such Holder appearing in the Company's Series B Preferred Stock register and (B) the Transfer Agent, which Notice of Redemption At Company's Election shall be deemed to have been delivered three (3) business days after the Company's mailing (by overnight or two (2) day courier, with a copy by facsimile) of such Notice of Redemption At Company's Election. Such Notice of Redemption At Company's Election shall indicate (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have been selected for redemption, (ii) the date which such redemption is to become effective (the "Date of Redemption At Company's Election") and (iii) the applicable Redemption Price At Company's Election, as defined in subsection (b)(i) above. Notwithstanding the above, Holder may convert into Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 5, prior to the close of business on the Date of Redemption at Company's Election, any Series B Preferred Stock which it is otherwise entitled to convert, including Series B Preferred Stock that has been selected for redemption at the Company's election pursuant to this subsection 6(b); provided, however, that the Company shall still be entitled to exercise its right to redeem upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(a).

(c) Company Must Have Immediately Available Funds or Credit Facilities. The Company shall not be entitled to send any Redemption Notice and begin the redemption procedure under Sections 6(a) and 6(b) unless it has:

(i) the full amount of the redemption price in cash, available in a demand or other immediately available account in a bank or similar financial institution; or

(ii) immediately available credit facilities, in the full amount of the redemption price with a bank or similar financial institution; or

(iii) an agreement with a standby underwriter willing to purchase from the Company a sufficient number of shares of stock to provide proceeds necessary to redeem any stock that is not converted prior to redemption; or

(iv) a combination of the items set forth in (i),
(ii) and (iii) above, aggregating the full amount of the redemption price.

If the foregoing conditions of this Section 6(c) are satisfied and the Company complies with Section 6(d) hereof, then any shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for by a Redemption at Company's Election shall cease to be outstanding for all purposes hereunder (including the right to convert or to accrete additional Premium or to exercise any other right or privilege hereunder) on the Date of Redemption at Company's Election and shall instead represent the right to receive the Redemption Price at Company's Election without interest from and after the Date of Redemption at Company's Election.

(d) Payment of Redemption Price.

(i) Each Holder submitting Preferred Stock being redeemed under this Section 6 shall send their Series B Preferred Stock Certificates so redeemed to the Company or its Transfer Agent, and the

8

Company shall pay the applicable redemption price to that Holder within five (5) business days of the Date of Redemption at Company's Election. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver the redemption price unless the Preferred Stock Certificates so redeemed are delivered to the Company or its Transfer Agent, or, in the event one (1) or more certificates have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, unless the Holder has complied with Section 5(b)(i).

(ii) If the Company elects to redeem pursuant to
Section 6(a) hereof, and the Company fails to pay Holder the redemption price within the time frame as required by this Section 6(d), then the Company shall issue shares of Class A Common Stock to any such Holder who has submitted a Notice of Conversion in compliance with Section 5(b) hereof. The shares to be issued to Holder pursuant to this provision shall be the number of shares determined using a Conversion Price (as defined in Section 5 hereof) that equals the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price on the date Holder sends its Notice of Conversion to Company or Transfer Agent via facsimile or (ii) the Conversion Price on the date the Transfer Agent issues Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6(d)(ii).

(e) Blackout Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not either send out a redemption notice or effect a redemption pursuant to Section 6(b) above during a Blackout Period (defined as a period during which the Company's officers or directors would be prohibited from buying or selling stock pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because of their holding of material non-public information), unless the Company shall first disclose the non-public information that resulted in the Blackout Period; provided, however, that no redemption shall be effected until at least ten (10) days after the Company shall have given the Holder written notice that the Blackout Period has been lifted.

Section 7. Voting Rights. The Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting power whatsoever, except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Law"), and no Holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote or otherwise participate in any proceeding in which actions shall be taken by the Company or the shareholders thereof or be entitled to notification as to any meeting of the shareholders.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall provide Holder with notification of any meeting of the shareholders regarding any major corporate events affecting the Company. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of its shareholders for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any share of any class or any other securities or property (including by way of merger, consolidation or reorganization), or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining shareholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail a notice to Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein, of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.

To the extent that under Delaware Law the vote of the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under Delaware Law) shall constitute the approval of such action by the class. To the extent that under Delaware Law the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Class A Common Stock, voting together as one (1) class, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which it is then convertible using the record date for the taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of

9

which the Conversion Price is calculated. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also shall be entitled to notice of all shareholder meetings or written consents with respect to which they would be entitled to vote, which notice would be provided pursuant to the Company's by-laws and applicable statutes.

Section 8. Protective Provision. So long as shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by Delaware Law) of the Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding Holders:

(a) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock or any securities so as to affect adversely the Series B Preferred Stock;

(b) create any new class or series of stock having a preference over or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to Distributions (as defined in Section 2 above) or increase the size of the authorized number of Series B Preferred; or

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

In the event Holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the then outstanding Holders agree to allow the Company to alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to subsection (a) above, so as to affect the Series B Preferred Stock, then the Company will deliver notice of such approved change to the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock that did not agree to such alteration or change (the "Dissenting Holders") and Dissenting Holders shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) business days to convert pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation as they exist prior to such alteration or change (notwithstanding the holding requirements set forth in Section 5(a) hereof), or continue to hold their shares of Series B Preferred Stock, as amended.

Section 9. Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In the event any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted or redeemed pursuant to
Section 5 or Section 6 hereof, the shares so converted or redeemed shall be canceled, shall return to the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated series, and shall not be issuable by the Company as Series B Preferred Stock.

Section 10. Preference Rights. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from issuing one (1) or more series of Preferred Stock with dividend and/or liquidation preferences junior to the dividend and liquidation preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Section 11. Authorization and Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.

(a) Authorized and Reserved Amount. The Company shall have authorized and reserved and keep available for issuance one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Reserved Amount") solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and exercise of the warrants to acquire Class A Common Stock (the "Common Warrants") issued or to be issued to the Holders. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock to provide for the full conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, and issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock in

10

connection therewith and the full exercise of the Common Warrants and issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock in connection therewith.

(b) Increases to Reserved Amount. Without limiting any other provision of this Section 11, if the Reserved Amount for any three (3) consecutive trading days (the last of such three (3) trading days being the "Reservation Trigger Date") shall be less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock, and exercise of the Common Warrants on such trading days (a "Share Authorization Failure"), the Company shall immediately notify all Holders of such occurrence and shall take action as soon as possible, but in any event within sixty (60) days after a Reservation Trigger Date (including, if necessary, seeking shareholder approval to authorize the issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock) to increase the Reserved Amount to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and exercise of the Common Warrants.

(c) Reduction of Reserved Amount Under Certain Circumstances. Prior to complete conversion of all Series B Preferred Stock the Company shall not reduce the number of shares required to be reserved for issuance under this
Section 11 without the written consent of all Holders except for a reduction proportionate to a reverse stock split effected for a business purpose other than affecting the obligations of Holder under this Section 11, which reverse stock split affects all shares of Class A Common Stock equally. Following complete conversion of all the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company may, with fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Holder, reduce the Reserved Amount to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of the Common Warrants; provided, however, that the Reserved Amount shall continue to be subject to increase pursuant to
Section 11 hereof.

(d) Allocation of Reserved Amount. Each increase to the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Series B Preferred Stock, and Common Warrants held by each Holder at the time of the establishment of or increase in the Reserved Amount. In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Series B Preferred Stock, or Common Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such transferor's Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved Amount which remains allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Series B Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining Holders, pro rata based on the number of Series B Preferred Stock, and Common Warrants then held by such Holders.

Section 12. Failure to Satisfy Conversions.

(a) Conversion Failure Payments. If, at any time, (x) a Holder submits a Notice of Conversion (or is deemed to submit such notice pursuant to
Section 5(d) hereof), and the Company fails for any reason to deliver, on or prior to the expiration of the Deadline ("Delivery Period") for such conversion, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such Converting Holder is entitled upon such conversion, or (y) the Company provides notice to Holder at any time of its intention not to issue shares of Class A Common Stock upon exercise by Holder of its conversion rights in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation (each of (x) and (y) being a "Conversion Failure"), then the Company shall pay to such Holder damages in an amount equal to the lower of:

(i) "Damages Amount" X "D" X .005, and
(ii) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law, where:

"D" means the number of days beginning the date of the Conversion Failure through and including the Cure Date with respect to such Conversion Failure;

11

"Damages Amount" means the Original Series B Issue Price for each share of Series B Preferred Stock subject to conversion plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the first day of the Conversion Failure.

"Cure Date" means (i) with respect to a Conversion Failure described in clause (x) of its definition, the date the Company effects the conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion and (ii) with respect to a Conversion Failure described in clause (y) of its definition, the date the Company undertakes in writing to issue Class A Common Stock in satisfaction of all conversions of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation.

The payments to which a Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this
Section are referred to herein as "Conversion Failure Payments." The parties agree that the damages caused by a breach hereof would be difficult or impossible to estimate accurately. A Holder may elect to receive accrued Conversion Failure Payments in cash or to convert all or any portion of such accrued Conversion Failure Payments, at any time, into Class A Common Stock at the lowest Conversion Price in effect during the period beginning on the date of the Conversion Failure through the Cure Date for such Conversion Failure. In the event a Holder elects to receive any Conversion Failure Payments in cash, it shall so notify the Company in writing no later than three (3) business days after the Deadline and failure to so notify the Company, shall entitle the Company, in its sole discretion, to elect to make such Conversion Failure Payments in cash, Class A Common Stock or some combination of the two. In the event a Holder elects to convert all or any portion of the Conversion Failure Payments, such Holder shall indicate on a Notice of Conversion such portion of the Conversion Failure Payments which such Holder elects to so convert in accordance with this Section 12(a) and such conversion shall otherwise be effected in accordance with provisions of Section 5.

(b) Buy-In Cure. Unless a Conversion Failure described in clause (y) of Section 12(a) hereof has occurred with respect to such a Holder, if (i) the Company fails for any reason to deliver during the Delivery Period shares of Class A Common Stock to a Holder upon a conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) after the applicable Delivery Period with respect to such conversion, a Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Class A Common Stock to make delivery upon a sale by a Holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Sold Shares") which such Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), the Company shall pay such Holder
(in addition to any other remedies available to Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commission, if any) for the shares of Class A Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Class A Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock sold for $10,000, the Company will be required to pay such Holder $1,000. A Holder shall provide the Company written notification indicating any amounts payable to Holder pursuant to this Section 12.

(c) Adjustment to Conversion Price. If a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Class A Common Stock within five (5) business days following the expiration of the Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of any portion of any of such Holder's Series B Preferred Stock for any reason, then the Conversion Price for the affected Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be the lesser of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price on the Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion which resulted in the Conversion Failure and (ii) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during the period beginning on, and including, such Conversion Date through and including the Cure Date. If there shall occur a Conversion Failure of the type described in clause (y) of Section 12(a), then the Fixed Conversion Price with respect to any conversion thereafter shall be the lowest Conversion Price in effect at any time during the period beginning on, and including, the date of the occurrence of such Conversion Failure through and including the Cure Date. The Conversion Price shall thereafter be subject to further adjustment for any events described in Section 5(d).

Section 13. Events of Default.

12

(a) Holder's Option to Demand Prepayment. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as herein defined), each Holder shall have the right to elect at any time and from time to time prior to the cure by Borrower of such Event of Default to have all or any portion of such Holder's then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock prepaid by the Company for an amount equal to the Holder Demand Prepayment Amount (as herein defined).

(i) The right of a Holder to elect prepayment shall be exercisable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by such Holder in its sole discretion by delivery of a Demand Prepayment Notice (as herein defined) in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13. Notwithstanding the exercise of such right, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available under the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and at law or in equity.

(ii) A Holder shall effect each demand for prepayment under this Section 13 by giving at least two (2) business days prior to written notice (the "Demand Prepayment Notice") of the date which such prepayment is to become effective (the "Effective Date of Demand of Prepayment"), the Series B Preferred Stock selected for prepayment and the Holder Demand Prepayment Amount to the Borrower at the address and facsimile number provided in the stock records of the Company, which Demand Prepayment Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered on the business day after the date of transmission of Holder's facsimile (with a copy sent by overnight courier to the Borrower) of such notice.

(iii) The Holder Demand Prepayment Amount shall be paid to a Holder whose Series B Preferred Stock are being prepaid within one (1) business day following the Effective Date of Demand of Prepayment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver any portion of the Holder Demand Prepayment Amount until one (1) business day following either the date on which the Series B Preferred Stock being prepaid are delivered to the office of the Borrower or the Transfer Agent, or the date on which the Holder notifies the Borrower or the Transfer Agent that such Series B Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed and delivers the documentation required in accordance with Section 5(b)(i) hereof.

(b) Holder Demand Prepayment Amount. The "Holder Demand Prepayment Amount" means the greater of: (a) 1.3 times the Stated Value of the Series B Preferred Stock for which demand is being made, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid Conversion Failure Payments (if any) through the date of prepayment and (b) the product of (1) the highest price at which the Class A Common Stock is traded on the date of the Event of Default (or the most recent highest closing bid price if the Class A Common Stock is not traded on such date) divided by the Conversion Price in effect as of the date of the Event of Default, and (2) the sum of the Stated Value and all accrued and unpaid Conversion Failure Payments (if any) through the date of prepayment.

(c) Events of Default. An "Event of Default" means any one of the following:

(i) a Conversion Failure described in Section 12(a) hereof;

(ii) a Share Authorization Failure described in
Section 11(b) hereof, if such Share Authorization Failure continues uncured for ninety (90) days after the Reservation Trigger Date;

(iii) the Company fails, and such failure continues uncured for three (3) business days after the Company has been notified thereof in writing by a Holder, to satisfy the share reservation requirements of Section 11 hereof;

13

(iv) the Company fails to maintain an effective registration statement as required by Section 2, Section 3 and Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement, between the Company and the Holder(s) (the "Registration Rights Agreement") except where such failure lasts no longer than three (3) consecutive trading days and is caused solely by failure of the Securities and Exchange Commission to timely review the customary submission of or respond to the customary requests of the Company;

(v) for three (3) consecutive trading days or for an aggregate of ten (10) trading days in any nine (9) month period, the Class A Common Stock (including any of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and exercise of the Common Warrants) is (i) suspended from trading on any of NASDAQ SmallCap, NMS, NYSE, AMEX or the OTC Bulletin Board, or (ii) is not qualified for trading on at least one of NASDAQ SmallCap, NMS, NYSE, AMEX or the OTC Bulletin Board;

(vi) the Company fails, and such failure continues uncured for three (3) business days after the Company has been notified thereof in writing by a Holder, to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate for any shares of Class A Common Stock issued to a Holder upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock, or exercise of any Common Warrant as and when required by this Certificate of Designation, the Common Warrants, the Subscription Agreement, between the Company and the Holder(s) (the "Subscription Agreement") or the Registration Rights Agreement;

(vii) the Company breaches, and such breach continues uncured for three (3) business days after the Company has been notified thereof in writing by a Holder, any significant covenant or other material term or condition of this Certificate of Designation, the Subscription Agreement, the Common Warrants or the Registration Rights Agreement;

(viii) any representation or warranty of the Company made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Subscription Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made;

(ix) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed; or

(x) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (and such proceedings shall continue unstayed for thirty (30) days).

(d) Failure to Pay Damages Amount. If the Company fails to pay the Holder Demand Prepayment Amount within five (5) business days of its receipt of a Demand Prepayment Notice, then such Holder shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the payment of the Holder Demand Prepayment Amount, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately convert (in accordance with the terms of Section 5) all or any portion of the Holder Demand Prepayment Amount, into shares of Class A Common Stock at the then current Conversion Price, provided that if the Company has not delivered the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within five (5) business days after the Company receives written notice of such conversion, the Conversion Price with respect to such Holder Demand Prepayment Amount shall thereafter be deemed to be the at the lowest Conversion Price in effect during the period beginning on the date of the Event of Default through the date on which the Company delivers to the Holder the full number of freely tradable shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

14

In the event the Company is not able to pay all amounts due and payable with respect to all Series B Preferred Stock subject to Holder Demand Prepayment Notices, the Company shall pay the Holders such amounts pro rata, based on the total amounts payable to such Holder relative to the total amounts payable to all Holders.
