Section 2. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, distributions to the shareholders of the Corporation shall be made in the following manner:
(i) Each series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share as may be fixed for such series (the "Preferential Amount"). The Preferential Amount shall be $1.00 for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, $2.20 for each share of Series B Preferred Stock and $3.75 for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, adjusted for any stock split, combination, consolidation, or stock distributions or stock dividends with respect to such shares, plus an amount equal to all declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as provided in Section 1 above. If the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid Preferential Amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distributions hall be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the respective Preferential Amounts which each such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i).
(ii) After payment has been made to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock of the full amounts to which they shall be entitled as set forth in Section 2(a)(i) above, then the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to (as such amount shall be adjusted to reflect subdivisions and combinations of shares and stock dividends), $0.10 with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock, plus an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends with respect to such share. If the assets and funds legally available for distribution among the holders of Common Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amount, then such assets and funds shall be distributed rat ably among the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the total preferential amount which each such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2(a)(ii).
(iii) Any assets remaining after the distributions pursuant to Sections 2(a)(i) and (ii) shall be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock based on the number of shares (assuming conversion of each holder's shares of Preferred Stock into the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Preferred Stock is then convertible, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4 hereof) then held by each holder of Common Stock and Preferred Stock.
(b) (i) If the Corporation should sell all or substantially all of its assets, or should consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation or corporations (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation), or should engage in a transaction or series of related transactions after the Series A Original Issue Date, as hereinafter defined, in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed, then such sale, merger or other transaction shall be treated as a liquidation subject to this Section 2.
(ii) In any of such events, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other than cash or indebtedness, its value will be deemed to be its fair market value. In the case of securities, fair market value shall be determined as follows:
(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability:
(I) If traded on a securities exchange, or over-the-counter as a NASDAQ National Market System security, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or NASDAQ National Market System over the 30-dayperiod ending three (3) days prior to the closing;
(II) If actively traded over-the-counter (but not on the National Market System), the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(III) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the unanimous consent or vote of the Board of Directors and such determination shall be binding upon the holders of the Preferred Stock; and
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subparagraphs (A) (I), (II) or (III) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined by the unanimous consent or vote of the Board of Directors and such determination shall be binding upon the shareholders.
(c) The liquidation preference of holders of Preferred Stock provided herein shall not be deemed to be impaired by distributions made by the Corporation in connection with the repurchase of Reserved Shares, as hereinafter defined, from former employees or consultants upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to stock restriction agreements between the Corporation and such persons approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors, and such holders shall be deemed to have consented to such repurchases.

In addition, if less than all of the shares represented by such certificates are surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 4 (a) (i), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a new certificate for the balance of the shares of Preferred Stock not so converted. Except as provided in Sections 4 (a) (ii), 4 (a) (iii) and 4 (a) (iv), such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the shares of such Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering such Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person (s) entitled to receive Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of such Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

(vi) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 4 (c), the consideration received by the Corporation forth e issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:
(1) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(C) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, by the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
