Leading Provider of Transaction Management Solutions to the Communications Services Market. We offer what we believe to be the most advanced e-commerce customer transaction management solution to the communications market. Our industry leading position is built upon the strength of our platform and our extensive experience and expertise in identifying and addressing the complex needs of leading CSPs. | |
Well Positioned to Benefit from High Industry Growth Areas and E-Commerce. We believe we are positioned to capitalize on the development, proliferation and convergence of communications services, including wireless and VoIP and the adoption of e-commerce as a critical customer channel. Our ActivationNow® platform is designed to be flexible and scalable to meet the demanding requirements of the evolving communications services industry, allowing us to participate in the highest growth and most attractive industry segments. | |
Differentiated Approach to Non-Automated Processes. Due to a variety of factors, CSP systems frequently encounter customer transactions with insufficient information or other erroneous process elements. These so-called exceptions, which tend to be particularly common in the early phases of a service roll-out, require non-automated, often time-consuming handling. We believe our ability to address what we refer to as exception handling is one of our key differentiators. Our solution identifies, corrects and processes non-automated transactions and exceptions in real-time. Importantly, as exception handling matures within a service, an increasing number of transactions can become automated, which can result in increased operating leverage for our business. | |
Transaction-Based Model with High Revenue Visibility. We believe the characteristics of our business model enhance the predictability of our revenues. We are generally the exclusive provider of the services we offer to our customers and benefit from contracts of 12 to |
5
48 months. The majority of our revenues are transaction-based, allowing us to gauge future revenues against patterns of transaction volumes and growth. | |
Trusted Partner, Deeply Embedded with Major, Influential Customers. We provide our services to market-leading wireline, wireless, cable, broadband and VoIP service providers including Cingular Wireless, Vonage Holdings, Cablevision Systems, Level 3 Communications, Verizon Business, Clearwire, 360networks, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and AT&T. The high value-added nature of our services and our proven performance track record make us an attractive, valuable and important partner for our customers. Our transaction management solution is tightly integrated into our customers critical infrastructure and embedded into their workflows, enabling us to develop deep and collaborative relationships with them. | |
On-Demand Offering that Enables Rapid, Cost-Effective Implementations. We provide our e-commerce customer transaction management solutions through an on-demand business model, which enables us to deliver our proprietary technology over the Internet as a service. Our customers do not have to make large and risky upfront investments in software, additional hardware, extensive implementation services and additional IT staff at their sites. | |
Experienced Senior Management Team. Each member of our senior management team has over 12 years of relevant industry experience, including prior employment with companies in the CSP, communications software and communications infrastructure industries. |
Expand Customer Base and Target New and Converged Industry Segments. The ActivationNow® platform is designed to address service providers and business models across the range of the communications services market, a capability we intend to exploit by targeting new industry segments such as cable operators, or MSOs, wireless broadband/ WiMAX operators and online content providers. Due to our deep domain expertise and ability to integrate our services across a variety of CSP networks, we believe we are well positioned to provide services to converging technology markets, such as providers offering integrated packages of voice, video, data and/or wireless service. | |
Continue to Exploit VoIP Industry Opportunities. We believe that customer demand for our existing VoIP services will continue to grow. Continued rapid VoIP industry growth will expand the market and demand for our services. Being the trusted partner to VoIP industry leaders, including Vonage Holdings, positions us well to benefit from the evolving needs, requirements and opportunities of the VoIP industry. | |
Enhance Current Wireless Industry Leadership. We currently process hundreds of thousands of wireless transactions every month, which are driven by increasing wireless subscribers and wireless subscriber churn resulting from local number portability, or LNP, service provider competition and other factors. Beyond traditional wireless service providers, we believe the fast-growing mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO, marketplace presents us with attractive growth opportunities. | |
Further Penetrate our Existing Customer Base. We derive significant growth from our existing customers as they continue to expand into new distribution channels, require new service offerings and increase transaction volumes. As CSPs expand consumer, business and indirect distribution, they require new transaction management solutions which drive increasing amounts of transactions over our platform. Many customers purchase multiple services from us, and we believe we are well-positioned to cross-sell additional services to customers who do not currently purchase our full services portfolio. In addition, the increasing importance and |
6
expansion of Internet-based e-commerce has led to increased focus by CSPs on their e-channel distribution, thus providing another opportunity for us to further penetrate existing customers. | |
Expand Into New Geographic Markets. Our current customers operate primarily in North America. We intend to utilize our extensive experience and expertise in North America to penetrate new geographic markets. | |
Maintain Technology Leadership. We intend to build upon our technology leadership by continuing to invest in research and development to increase the automation of processes and workflows, thus driving increased interest in our solutions by making it more economical for CSPs to use us as a third-party solutions provider. |

Although our revenues and operating income for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 exceeded forecasts in our business
plan, we were uncertain whether the growth was a one-time effect
resulting from the migration of transactions from AT&T
Wireless to Cingular Wireless following the merger of the
companies, and consequently we maintained operating income
estimates in accordance with our original business plan;
We achieved our third consecutive quarter of profitability; and
The possibility of an initial public offering remained
consistent with our business plan and a relatively low
probability estimate (25%) for the IPO scenario was assumed
under the PWER (probability weighted expected returns) method.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues and net
income exceeded forecasts in our business plan, which caused us
to adjust our forecasts;
Discussions began with our investment bankers around the
possibility of an initial public offering earlier than
anticipated in our business plan; in light of these discussions,
a higher probability (60%) was assumed under the PWER method; and
We signed a leading VoIP provider as a new customer.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenues and
net income exceeded forecasts in our original business plan but
were consistent with our adjusted forecasts;
During the third quarter we initiated the process of an initial
public offering and began drafting a registration statement; as
a result we increased the probability used under the PWER method
to 75%; and
Anticipated renewal of a contract with a large customer for an
additional two years.

Wireless The wireless communications
industry has grown rapidly over the past decade due to the
increasing demand from businesses and consumers for mobile and
high-speed or broadband wireless voice and data
systems. The expanding subscriber base and the corresponding
growth in industry revenues have been driven by improved service
quality, greater national and international roaming coverage,
lower prices and the introduction of new messaging, data and
content services. Wireless carriers face increasing competition
and costs to acquire and retain subscribers. For CSPs to remain
competitive and minimize customer churn, transactions such as
activations, number porting, technology migrations, service plan
changes, new feature requests and many others must be made
available seamlessly, conveniently and cost-effectively.
Voice over Internet Protocol VoIP is
realizing dramatic growth as a leading alternative to
traditional voice services. VoIP enables voice information to be
sent in digital form in discrete packets rather than in the
traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched
telephone network, or PSTN. VoIP offers numerous benefits to
both enterprises and consumers, including lower cost than
traditional voice services, a common transmission medium for
voice and data (e.g. via broadband subscription to the home) and
integrated applications such as unified messaging. The rapid
growth in VoIP has attracted numerous CSP participants,
including both next-generation service providers with
packet-based networks and existing telecom service providers
with circuit-switched networks. This combination of traditional
switched and packet-based network technologies is driving the
development of hybrid and converged networks that create new
operational challenges. VoIP service providers are faced with a
highly competitive environment for customer acquisition and
challenges associated with provisioning new services efficiently
and cost-effectively.
51
New account setup and activations including credit
checks, address validation and equipment availability;
Feature requests adding new functionality to
existing services;
Contract renewals for consumers and enterprises;
Number port requests local number portability;
Customer migration between technologies and
networks; and
Equipment orders wireless handsets, accessories, etc.
Automated: We designed our
ActivationNow®
platform to eliminate manual processes and to automate otherwise
labor-intensive tasks, thus improving operating efficiencies and
52
reducing costs. By tracking every order and identifying those
that are not provisioned properly, we substantially reduce the
need for manual intervention. Our technology automatically
guides a customers request for service through the entire
series of required steps.
Reliable: We are committed to providing
high-quality, dependable services to our customers. To ensure
reliability, system uptime and other service offerings are
guaranteed through our commitment to service level agreements,
or SLAs. Our product is a complete customer management solution,
including exception handling, which we believe is one of the
main factors that differentiates us from our competitors. In
performing exception handling, our software platform recognizes
and isolates transaction orders that are not configured to
specifications, processes them in a timely manner and
communicates these orders back to our customers, thereby
improving efficiency and reducing backlog. If manual
intervention is required, our exception handling is outsourced
to centers located in India, Canada and the United States. In
addition, our database design preserves data integrity while
ensuring fast, efficient, transaction-oriented data retrieval
methods. As a demonstration of resilience, the database design
has remained constant during the life and evolution of other
components of the software platform. This stability provides
reusability of the business functionality as new, updated
graphical user interfaces are developed.
Seamless: Our
ActivationNow®
platform integrates information across the service
providers entire operation, including customer
information, order information, product and service information,
network inventory and workflow information. We have built our
ActivationNow®
platform using an open design with fully-documented software
interfaces, commonly referred to as application programming
interfaces, or APIs. Our APIs make it easier for our customers,
partners and other third parties to integrate the
ActivationNow®
platform with other software applications and to build Web-based
applications incorporating third-party or CSP designed
capabilities. Through our open design and alliance program, we
provide our customers with superior solutions that combine
best-of-breed
applications with the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of
commercial, packaged interfaces.
Scalable: Our
ActivationNow®
platform is designed to process expanding transaction volumes
reliably and cost-effectively. Transaction volume has increased
rapidly since our inception. For 2005, we managed
5.3 million transactions, compared to 1.6 million for
the same period in 2004. We anticipate substantial future growth
in transaction volumes and believe our platform is capable of
scaling its output commensurately, requiring principally routine
computer hardware and software updates. In addition, our
platform enables service providers to offer a variety of
services more quickly and to package and price their services
cost-effectively by integrating them with available network
capacity and resources.
Value-added: Our
ActivationNow®
platform attributes are tightly integrated into the critical
workflows of our customers. The
ActivationNow®
platform has analytical reporting capabilities that provide
real-time information for every step of the relevant transaction
processes. In addition to improving end-user customer
satisfaction, these capabilities provide our customers with
value-added insights into historical and current transaction
trends. We also offer mobile reporting capabilities for key
users to receive critical data about their
e-commerce transactions
on their mobile devices.

Growth in wireless services. Wireless subscribers
and services have grown rapidly in recent years. As an indicator
of the overall health of the wireless services market,
In-Stat/MDR reports that the global wireless market is expected
to add an average of 186 million new subscribers each year,
resulting in a total wireless population of more than
2 billion by 2007. Not only are more people using wireless
phones, but there are entirely new kinds of wireless service
providers entering the market, such as mobile virtual network
operators (MVNO). An MVNO is a mobile operator that does not own
its own spectrum and usually does not have its own network
infrastructure, instead relying on business arrangements with
traditional mobile operators. We believe that the
next-generation of wireless services and the emerging MVNO
marketplace present us with excellent growth opportunities in
the United States and new geographic markets into which we may
expand. According to the Yankee Group, by 2010 the MVNO market
will comprise more than 10 million subscribers with
$10.7 billion in service provider revenues.
Adoption of VoIP. Internet Protocol-based network
technologies are transforming the communications marketplace and
VoIP applications are just starting to be deployed. The total
number of residential US VoIP customers is expected to grow from
3 million in 2005 to 27 million in 2009, representing
a compound annual growth rate of 173% according to IDC. This
forecast is further supported by Gartner, who predicts that
consumer VoIP services spending in the United States will jump
from $1.9 billion in 2005 to $9.5 billion in 2008. Our
strong 2005 market capture across new entrants, cable companies
and traditional communications providers positions us well to
leverage our existing base and maximize capture of new
transaction types.
Continued growth of
e-commerce.
Internet-based commerce provides CSPs with the opportunity to
cost-effectively gain new customers, provide service and
interact more effectively. Forrester Research projects
e-commerce sales in the United States to grow from $172 billion
in 2005 to $329 billion in 2010. With the dramatic increase in
Internet usage and desire to directly connect with end-users
over the course of the customer lifecycle, CSPs are increasingly
54
focusing on e-commerce
as a channel for customer acquisition and delivery of ongoing
services.
Growth in on-demand software delivery model. Our
on-demand business model enables delivery of proprietary
software solutions over the Internet as a service. Customers do
not have to make large and risky upfront investments in
software, additional hardware, extensive implementation services
and additional IT staff. Because we implement all upgrades to
software on our servers, they automatically become part of our
service and available to benefit all customers immediately.
According to International Data Corporation, or IDC, the
on-demand software market in the United States is expected to
grow from $3 billion in 2003 to $9 billion by 2008, a
compound annual rate of 25%.
Pressure on CSPs to improve efficiency. Increased
competition and excess network capacity have placed significant
pressure on CSPs to reduce costs and increase revenues. At the
same time, due to deregulation, the emergence of new network
technologies and the proliferation of services, the complexity
of back-office operations has increased significantly. As a
result, CSPs are looking for ways to offer new communications
services more rapidly and efficiently to existing and new
customers. CSPs are increasingly turning to transaction-based,
cost-effective, scalable and automated third-party solutions
that can offer guaranteed levels of service delivery.

ActivationNow®
platform is designed to be flexible and scalable to meet the
demanding requirements of the evolving communications services
industry, allowing us to participate in the highest growth and
most attractive industry segments. We intend to leverage the
flexibility and scalability of the platform and our track record
of serving existing customers to extend our services in pursuit
of opportunities arising from additional technologies and
business models, including cable operators (MSOs), WiMAX
operators, MVNOs and online content providers.
Differentiated Approach to Non-Automated
Processes. Due to a variety of factors, CSP systems
frequently encounter customer transactions with insufficient
information or other erroneous process elements. These so-called
exceptions, which tend to be particularly common in the early
phases of a service roll-out, require non-automated, often time
consuming handling. We believe our ability to address what we
refer to as exception handling is one of our key
differentiators. Our solution identifies, corrects and processes
non-automated transactions and exceptions in real-time. Our
exception handling service is designed to consistently meet SLAs
for transactions that are not fully automated. Critical
functions provided by our exception
55
handling service center include streamlining operations by
reducing the number of transactions processed with human
interaction. Importantly, as exception handling matures within a
service, an increasing number of transactions can become
automated, which can result in increased operating leverage for
our business.
Transaction-Based Model with High Revenue
Visibility. We believe the characteristics of our
business model enhance the predictability of our revenues. We
are generally the exclusive provider of the services we offer to
our customers and benefit from contracts of 12 to
48 months. All of our significant customers may terminate
their contracts for convenience upon written notice and payment
of contractual penalties. The majority of our revenues is
transaction-based, allowing us to gauge future revenues against
patterns of transaction volumes and growth. In addition, our
customers provide us monthly rolling transaction forecasts and
our contracts guarantee us the higher of (i) a percentage
ranging from 75%-90% of these forecasts and (ii) certain
specified monthly minimum revenue levels. We have also grown our
revenues rapidly, at a 76% compound annual growth rate from
2001-2005. Our platform and systems are designed to accommodate
further substantial increases in transaction volumes and
transaction types. Our ability to leverage our technology to
serve additional customers and develop new product offerings has
enabled us to reduce costs and increase operating margins, a
trend which we expect to continue.
Trusted Partner, Deeply Embedded with Major, Influential
Customers. We provide our services to market-leading
wireline, wireless, cable, broadband and VoIP service providers
including Cingular Wireless, Vonage Holdings, Cablevision
Systems, Level 3 Communications, Verizon Business,
Clearwire, 360networks, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and AT&T.
The high value-added nature of our services and our proven
performance track record make us an attractive, valuable and
important partner for our customers. Our transaction management
solution is tightly integrated into our customers critical
infrastructure and embedded into their workflows, enabling us to
develop deep and collaborative relationships with them. We
believe this leads to higher reliability and more tailored
product offerings with reduced development times and decreases
the risk of our customers defecting to competing platforms. We
work to deepen our customer relationships through ongoing
consultation, including quarterly customer advisory councils or
discussion groups. This helps us to deliver higher quality
services to our existing customers and anticipate the evolving
requirements of the industry as a whole.
On-Demand Offering that Enables Rapid, Cost-Effective
Implementations. We provide our
e-commerce customer
transaction management solutions through an on-demand business
model, which enables us to deliver our proprietary technology
over the Internet as a service. Our customers do not have to
make large and risky upfront investments in software, additional
hardware, extensive implementation services and additional IT
staff at the their sites. This increases the attractiveness of
our transaction management solution to CSPs. Our expertise in
the CSP marketplace coupled with our open, scalable and secure
multi-tenant application architecture enables rapid
implementations and allows us to serve customers
cost-effectively. In addition, because all upgrades to our
software technology are implemented by us on our servers, they
automatically become part of our service and therefore benefit
all of our customers immediately. This typically results in a
lower total cost of ownership and increased return on investment
for our customers, as well as an infrastructure that can easily
be manipulated to provide our customers a rapid time to market
with new services by leveraging our interfaces to a plethora of
operational support systems (OSS) and business support systems
(BSS) of CSPs. An operational support system is a suite of
programs that enables an enterprise to monitor, analyze and
manage a network system. A business support system is a suite of
programs that manages the customer experience, including product
management and billing.
Experienced Senior Management Team. Each member of
our senior management team has over 12 years of relevant
industry experience, including prior employment with
56
companies in the CSP, communications software and communications
infrastructure industries. This experience has enabled us to
develop strong relationships with our customers. Our senior
management team has been working together for the last three to
seven years, with Messrs. Waldis, Berry and Garcia having
worked together at Vertek Corporation prior to joining
Synchronoss. The collective experience of the Synchronoss
management team has also resulted in the receipt of various
awards, the most recent of which include the New Jersey
Technology Council 2005 Software/ Information Technology Company
of the Year and the naming of Synchronoss as one of the 50
fastest growing companies in New Jersey for 2005 by NJBiz. In
addition, Mr. Waldis was named as the Ernst &Young
Entrepreneur of the Year in 2004 in Pennsylvania.
Expand Customer Base and Target New and Converged Industry
Segments. The
ActivationNow®
platform is designed to address service providers and business
models across the range of the communications services market, a
capability we intend to exploit by targeting new industry
segments such as cable operators (MSOs), wireless broadband/
WiMAX operators and online content providers. Due to our deep
domain expertise and ability to integrate our services across a
variety of CSP networks, we believe we are well positioned to
provide services to converging technology markets, such as
providers offering integrated packages of voice, video, data
and/or wireless service.
Continue to Exploit VoIP Industry Opportunities.
Continued rapid VoIP industry growth will expand the market and
demand for our services. Being the trusted partner to VoIP
industry leaders, including Vonage Holdings, Time Warner Cable
and Cablevision, positions us well to benefit from the evolving
needs, requirements and opportunities of the VoIP industry.
TeleGeographys VoIP 2005 Second Quarter Market Update
reported that the number of voice-over-broadband subscribers
increased 40% in the second quarter of 2005, from
1.9 million to 2.7 million. Voice-over-Broadband, or
VoB, is a relatively new service offering based on VoIP
technology. According to the same source, VoB subscribers have
grown 600% since the second quarter of 2004, when only 440,000
VoIP lines were in service. Quarterly voice-over-broadband
revenues grew from $151 million in the first quarter of
2005 to $220 million in the second quarter of 2005 and
revenues have grown 655% since the second quarter of 2004, when
voice-over-broadband subscribers generated just
$33 million. This information is consistent with the
Infonetics Research projection of VoIP subscribers in the North
American market growing to over 24 million subscribers in
2008.
Enhance Current Wireless Industry Leadership.
Spending in the global wireless industry has grown significantly
in recent years. A Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
report states that spending in the US wireless market grew at a
double-digit growth rate in 2004. By 2008, the sector is
expected to have revenues of $212.5 billion, representing a
10 percent compound annual growth rate from 2005 to 2008.
The up-tick in spending is happening because myriad advanced
applications are being offered, including wireless Internet
access, multimedia messaging, games and Wi-Fi. These
applications translate into new transaction types that we can
meld into our workflow management system.
We currently process hundreds of thousands of wireless
transactions every month, which are driven by increasing
wireless subscribers and wireless subscriber churn resulting
from local number portability, service provider competition and
other factors. Beyond traditional wireless service providers, we
believe the fast-growing mobile virtual network operator, or
MVNO, marketplace presents us with attractive growth
opportunities. We believe that our ability to
57
enable rapid
time-to-market through
deep domain expertise sets us apart from our competition in
attracting potential MVNO customers.
Further Penetrate our Existing Customer Base. We
derive significant growth from our existing customers as they
continue to expand into new distribution channels, require new
service offerings and increase transaction volumes. As CSPs
expand consumer, business and indirect distribution, they
require new transaction management solutions which drive
increasing amounts of transactions over our platform. Many
customers purchase multiple services from us, and we believe we
are well-positioned to cross-sell additional services to
customers who do not currently purchase our full services
portfolio. In addition, the increasing importance and expansion
of Internet-based
e-commerce has led to
increased focus by CSPs on their
e-channel distribution,
thus providing another opportunity for us to further penetrate
existing customers.
Expand Into New Geographic Markets. Our current
customers operate primarily in North America. We believe there
is an opportunity for us to obtain new customers outside of
North America. We currently intend to take our business global
by penetrating new geographic markets within the next two years,
particularly Europe, Asia/ Pacific and Latin America, as these
markets experience similar trends to those that have driven
growth in North America.
Maintain Technology Leadership. Our proprietary
technology allows CSPs to bring together disparate systems and
manage the ordering, activation and provisioning of
communications services, allowing them to lower the cost of new
customer acquisition and product lifecycle management. We intend
to build upon our technology leadership by continuing to invest
in research and development to increase the automation of
processes and workflows, thus driving increased interest in our
solutions by making it more economical for CSPs to use us as a
third-party solutions provider. In addition, we believe our
close relationships with our tier-one CSPs will continue to
provide us with valuable insights into the challenges that are
creating demand for next-generation solutions.

Each non-employee director will receive an initial option for
25,000 shares. The initial grant of this option will occur
when the director takes office. The option will vest in three
equal annual installments.
Each January beginning with January of 2007, each non-employee
director who will continue to be a director will automatically
be granted an option for 10,000 shares of our common stock.
However, a new non-employee director who is receiving the
initial option will not receive this option in the same calendar
year. The option will vest in equal monthly installments over
the one year period following the option grant.
A non-employee directors option granted under this program
will become fully vested upon a change in control of Synchronoss.
The exercise price of each non-employee directors option
will be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on
the option grant date. A director may pay the exercise price by
using cash, shares of common stock that the director already
owns, or an immediate sale of the option shares through a broker
designated by us. The non-employee directors options have
a 10 year term, except that they expire one year after the
director leaves the board of directors.

(1) | Per common share amounts for the quarters and full years have been calculated separately. Accordingly, quarterly amounts do not add to the annual amount because of differences in the weighted-average common shares outstanding during each period principally due to the effect of the Companys issuing shares of its common stock during the year. |
(2) | Includes the impact of a reduction of the Companys deferred tax valuation allowance of $4.6 million. |

The accompanying financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005 were restated to correct a mathematical
formula error that was discovered in the calculation of the
weighted average common shares outstanding after we initially
filed our year end financial statements in our
Form S-1. The
change was subsequently corrected in Amendment No. 2 to our
Form S-1. On a
quarterly basis, this change resulted in an increase to basic
earnings per share of $0.01, from $0.07 to $0.08 in the first
quarter 2005, an increase of $0.01, from $0.09 to $0.10 in the
second quarter 2005, an increase of $0.01, from $0.09 to $0.10
in the third quarter 2005 and a decrease of $0.03, from $0.32 to
$0.29 in the fourth quarter 2005. This change also impacted the
diluted earnings per common share as follows: an increase of
$0.01, from $0.06 to $0.07 in the first quarter 2005, an
increase of $0.01, from $0.08 to $0.09 in the second quarter
2005, an increase of $0.01, from $0.08 to $0.09 in the third
quarter 2005, and a decrease of $0.03, from $0.29 to $0.26 in
the fourth quarter 2005. This change was confined to 2005 only
and had no impact on net income; and no impact on the related
balance sheet accounts, statement of cash flows or the statement
of changes in stockholders deficiency.

(a) The Company and the Included Selling Stockholder, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any "issuer information" filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and the Included Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing -21-
Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and provided further that the liability of the Included Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (a) shall not exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by the Included Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of the Shares set forth in the Prospectus. (b) Each of the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and provided further that the liability of a Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of the Shares set forth in the Prospectus. (c) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder and each party who controls such Selling Stockholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such -22-
amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) ,(b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a),(b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall -23-
be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) the liability of a Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (e) shall not exceed the product of the number of Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder and the initial public offering price of the Shares set forth in the Prospectus. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. (f) The Company and the Selling Stockholders may agree, as among themselves and without limiting the rights of the Underwriters under this Agreement, as to the respective amounts of any liability under Section 9 and 12 hereof for which each shall be responsible, including, without limitation, allocating between the Company and the Selling Stockholders the liability resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Stockholders hereunder. (g) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and employee of, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker dealer affiliate of any Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act. -24-
10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, or the Company and the Selling Stockholders notify you that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to postpone a Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Shares. (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default. (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company and the Included Selling Stockholder to sell the Optional Shares) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default. 11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement -25-
or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. 12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Section 7 hereof with respect to the Company and Section 9 hereof with respect to the Company, the Included Selling Stockholder and the Selling Stockholders; but, if for any other reason any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Section 7 hereof with respect to the Company and Section 9 hereof with respect to the Company, the Included Selling Stockholder and the Selling Stockholders. 13. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly or by Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of you as the representatives; and in all dealings with any Selling Stockholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by any or all of the Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Stockholder. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives in care of Goldman, Sachs & Co., 85 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Registration Department; if to any Selling Stockholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to counsel for such Selling Stockholder at its address set forth in Schedule II hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by you on request; provided, however, that notices under subsection 5(e) shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives at Goldman, Sachs & Co., 85 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Control Room. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof. 14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, any Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, -26-
successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase. 15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term "business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office in Washington, D.C. is open for business. 16. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 17. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 18. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Stockholders are authorized, subject to applicable law, to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company and the Selling Stockholders relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, "tax structure" is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment. 19. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling Stockholders except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and the Selling Stockholders have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. Each of the he Company and the Selling Stockholders agrees not to claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Selling Stockholders, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, or any of them, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in -27-
any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation be and it hereby is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: ARTICLE I The name of this corporation is SynchronOSS Technologies, Inc. (the "Corporation"). ARTICLE II The duration of the corporation shall be perpetual. ARTICLE III The street address and the mailing address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801; and the name of the registered agent of the Corporation in the State of Delaware at such address is Corporation Trust Center. ARTICLE IV The purpose of the Corporation is to conduct any lawful business, to promote any lawful purpose, and to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.
ARTICLE V This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock". The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 35,620,690 shares, consisting solely of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,620,690 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated as "Series 1 Preferred Stock" (the "Series 1 Preferred Stock") and 8,620,690 shares of Preferred Stock are hereby designated as "Series A Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The relative powers, preferences, and rights, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, granted to or imposed on the respective classes and series of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as set forth below. 1. DIVIDENDS. In the event funds are available for the payment of dividends and the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property), the Corporation also shall declare and pay to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock had all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined. 2. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. (a) Rights on Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, sale, merger, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation Event"), the following order of priority shall apply: (i) first, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the sum of $5.80 per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such holder plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends on such share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations and splits with respect to such shares). If upon a Liquidation Event the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive on a pari passu basis; (ii) second, the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the 2
Corporation to the holders of Common Stock, an amount equal to the sum of $6.00 per share for each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock then held by such holder plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends on such share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations and splits with respect to such shares). If upon a Liquidation Event the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amount, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive on a pari passu basis. (b) Distribution of Remaining Assets. After payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series 1 Preferred Stock of the amounts set forth in Section 2(a) above, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Common Stock based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each. (c) Certain Other Transactions. (i) Unless otherwise agreed by the holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for purposes of this Section 2, a Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (A) any transaction or series of transactions which results in the disposition to a single person or group of affiliated persons of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation, (B) any acquisition of the Corporation effected by means of merger, consolidation, share exchange or other form of corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the Corporation are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the acquiring corporation or its affiliate, other than any such transaction undertaken solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Corporation in a different jurisdiction, or (C) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation. (ii) In any of such events, if the consideration received by the Corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows: (A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below: (1) if traded on a securities exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market (or a similar national quotation system), the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; (2) if actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and (3) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 3
(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder's status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (iii) In the event the requirements of this subsection 2(c) are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either: (A) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with and/or such agreement has been reached; or (B) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in subsection 2(c)(iv) hereof. (iv) The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders' meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock that are entitled to such notice rights or similar notice rights and that represent at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 3. REDEMPTION. (a) Redemption. The Corporation shall, if it receives written notice at least thirty (30) days before the date which is five years after the first issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Initial Redemption Date") from the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, redeem from any source of funds legally available therefor, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Corporation's option by redeeming such shares of Series A Preferred Stock in three equal annual installments beginning on the Initial Redemption Date, and continuing thereafter on the first and second anniversaries of the Initial Redemption Date (the Initial Redemption Date and the first and second anniversaries thereof each being a "Redemption Date"). The Corporation shall effect the redemption under this Section 3(a) by paying in cash an amount per share equal to the original issue price for each such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. 4
(b) Number of Shares. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that the Corporation shall be required under this Section 3 to redeem on any one Redemption Date shall be equal to the amount determined by dividing (i) the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed outstanding immediately prior to such Redemption Date by (ii) the number of remaining Redemption Dates (including the Redemption Date to which such calculation applies). Any redemption effected pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made on a pro rata basis among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed based upon the total redemption price applicable to each holder's shares of such Preferred Stock. (c) Procedure. At least fifteen (15) but no more than thirty (30) days prior to each Redemption Date, written notice shall be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given) of Series A Preferred Stock irrespective of whether the holders of such shares have requested redemption. Such notice shall be sent to such holders at the address last shown on the records of the Corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be effected, specifying the total approximate funds that this Corporation has available to satisfy redemptions as of the date of such notice, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder, the applicable Redemption Date, the applicable redemption price, the place at which payment may be obtained and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, such holder's certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed (the "Redemption Notice"). Except as provided in Section 3(d), on or after the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender to the Corporation, the certificate or certificates representing such shares, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the applicable redemption price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. (d) Effect on Redemption; Insufficient Funds. From and after an applicable Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the redemption price, all rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock relating to such Redemption Date (except the right to receive the applicable redemption price upon surrender of their certificate or certificates) shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon the total redemption price applicable to each such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are subject to redemption on such Redemption Date. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Corporation has become obliged to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. The holder of any shares of Series A 5
Preferred Stock to be redeemed that remain unredeemed after the applicable Redemption Date pertaining to such shares shall be entitled to receive an additional dividend on such unredeemed shares at a rate that is equal to the higher of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum compounded annually or (ii) five percent (5%) over the applicable adjusted federal rate at the Redemption Date. 4. EVENT OF NONCOMPLIANCE. (a) Definition. An "Event of Noncompliance" shall be deemed to have occurred if the Corporation fails to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock which it is obligated to redeem hereunder, whether or not such payment is legally permissible or is prohibited by any agreement to which the Corporation is subject, and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from any holder of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such failure. (b) Election of Directors. Notwithstanding anything herein or pursuant to agreement or the Bylaws to the contrary, if at any time there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Noncompliance, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall have the exclusive and special right (in addition to any other voting rights), voting together as a single series on a pari passu basis, to elect, at any annual meeting of stockholders, at a special meeting held in place thereof, at a special meeting of the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock called as hereinafter provided, or by written consent, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors. (i) At any time after an Event of Noncompliance has occurred and is continuing, the secretary of the Corporation may and, upon written request of holders of record of at least 20% of the shares of each such shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to him at the principal executive offices of the corporation shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance for the purpose of electing such members of the Board of Directors, such meeting to be held at the registered office of the Corporation, or such other place as such request shall specify, as soon as practicable after the receipt of such request, upon the notice provided by law and the Bylaws of the Corporation for the holding of special meetings of stockholders. If such special meeting shall not be called by the secretary within 3 days after receipt of such request, then the holders of record of at least 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding may designate in writing one of their number to call such a meeting at the place designated by such holders and upon the notice above provided, and any person so designated for that purpose shall have access to the stock records of the Corporation for such purpose. (ii) Notwithstanding anything herein or pursuant to agreement or the Bylaws to the contrary, at any meeting at which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance shall be entitled to elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors as provided above, the holders of a majority of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the election of such directors, and the vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single series on a pari passu basis, so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to elect 6
such directors. The election of such directors shall automatically increase the number of members of the Board of Directors by the number of directors so elected. Therefore, the number of additional directors to be elected by such holders shall be equal to the total number of directors immediately prior to such election, plus one (e.g., if there were five directors, the number of additional directors would be six). The persons so elected as directors by such holders shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until there shall be no existing Event of Noncompliance. Upon there ceasing to be any existing Event of Noncompliance or at such time as there are no outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, any directors so elected by such holders shall forthwith cease to be directors of the Corporation, and the number of directorships shall automatically be reduced accordingly. If a vacancy occurs in a directorship elected by such holders, a successor may be appointed by the remaining directors or director so elected by such holders. (iii) At any meeting at which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance shall be entitled to elect the majority of the members of the Board of Directors as provided above, or any adjournment thereof, (1) the absence of a quorum of the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not prevent the election of directors other than those to be elected by the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (2) the absence of a quorum of the holders of classes or series of stock entitled to elect directors other than those to be elected by the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance shall not prevent the election of the directors to be elected by the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting separately as a series, (3) in the absence of a quorum of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance, the holders of shares representing a majority of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock present in person or by proxy shall have power to adjourn from time to time the meeting for the election of the directors which they are entitled to elect pursuant to this Section 4, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present, and (4) in the absence of a quorum of the holders of the classes or series of stock entitled to elect directors other than those elected by the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance, the holders of a majority of such classes or series present in person or by proxy shall have power to adjourn from time to time the meeting for the election of the directors which they are entitled to elect, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. (iv) At any time after the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock affected by the Event of Non-Compliance shall have become entitled to elect a majority of the Board of Directors pursuant to this Section 4, such holders may do so by a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken, and signed by the holders of shares representing a majority of the shares of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. (c) Other Rights. If an Event of Noncompliance exists, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall also have any other rights to which such holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law. 7
(d) Delays or Omissions. No failure to exercise or delay in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon any Event of Noncompliance hereunder shall impair such right, power or remedy of such holder or shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Noncompliance, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar Event of Noncompliance thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any Event of Noncompliance theretofore or thereafter occurring. 5. VOTING RIGHTS. (a) Generally. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be voted equally with the shares of Common Stock (voting together with the shares of Common Stock as a single class) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or may act by written consent in the same manner as Common Stock, upon the following basis: each holder of one or more shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and to such number of votes for the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, held by such holder immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting, or on the effective date of such written consent, as shall be equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which all of his, her or its respective shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are convertible immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent. (b) Board of Directors. Subject to Section 4, the Board of Directors shall consist of no more than seven (7) members. As long as at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issued as of the Original Series A Issue Date (as defined in Section 6(d)(i)(3)) remain outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect three (3) members of the Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's stockholders for the election of directors. The holders of outstanding Common Stock and Series 1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class but without the vote of the Series A Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's stockholders for the election of directors. The holders of Common Stock and Series 1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class but without the vote of the Series A Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to nominate the remaining two member(s) of the Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Corporation's stockholders for the election of directors, such nomination being subject to the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. (c) Restrictions and Limitations. In addition to any other rights provided by law, and notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, so long as at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Original Series A Issue Date remain outstanding, the Corporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not: 8
(i) take any action that may alter or change the designations, powers, rights, preferences or privileges, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, make any new issuance of shares of authorized but unissued Series A Preferred Stock for consideration other than immediately available funds, or create or designate any other series of Preferred Stock; (iii) authorize, issue, or become obligated to issue shares of any class or series of stock having any preference, priority, or parity as to dividends, assets or other rights (including without limitation, conversion and redemption) superior to or on a parity with any such preference or priority of the Series A Preferred Stock, or authorize, issue, or become obligated to issue shares of stock of any class or any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or having option rights to purchase, any shares of stock of the Corporation having any preference, priority or parity as to dividends, assets or other rights (including without limitation, conversion and redemption) superior t o or on a parity with any such preference or priority of the Series A Preferred Stock; (iv) effect any sale, lease, assignment, transfer, or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or any consolidation, merger, share exchange or other combination involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, with any other entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Corporation would be disposed of or any reclassification or other change of any stock, or any recapitalization of the Corporation, other than any such transaction undertaken solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Corporation in a different jurisdiction; (v) consent to or enter into any agreement for any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (vi) pay any dividend on, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Common Stock or series of Preferred Stock junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (other than repurchase of Common Stock at cost in connection with termination of employment or service); (vii) amend or waive any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation relative to the Series A Preferred Stock in a manner which would adversely affect the Series A Preferred Stock; or (viii) change the authorized number of directors of the Corporation, subject to Section 4. 6. CONVERSION. The holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"): (a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock. 9
Each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock, and Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the "Conversion Value" per share in effect for the Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, at the time of conversion by the "Conversion Price" per share for the Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be. The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, is convertible is hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Conversion Rate." The initial Conversion Price per share of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be $6.00. The initial Conversion Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $2.90. The initial Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 6(d). The Conversion Value per share of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be $6.00. The Conversion Value per share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $2.90. Any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock may at the option of the Corporation be paid in cash or be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the accrued or declared but unpaid dividends divided by the Conversion Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock. (b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then-effective Conversion Rate, (i) on the date specified by vote or written consent or agreement of holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) immediately upon the closing of the sale of the Corporation's Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), at a per share offering price of not less than $8.70 (subject to adjustment for any stock dividends, combinations or splits), the aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation (before deduction for underwriters' discounts and expenses relating to the issuance) of which equal or exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (a "Qualified IPO"). (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A 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 on such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted 10
such Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. Notwithstanding that any certificate for Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock to be converted in a mandatory conversion shall not have been surrendered as of the date fixed for conversion, each holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such holder upon conversion. (d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below. (i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the following definitions apply: (1) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean, (A) with respect to any adjustments required for the Series A Preferred Stock, all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to Section 6(d)(iv), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Original Series A Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable: 1) upon conversion of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock; 2) shares of Common Stock to employees, consultants, officers or non-employee directors of the Corporation pursuant to stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plans or agreements or other stock incentive plans or arrangements, on terms approved by the Board of Directors, including directors elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock; 3) as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock; 4) upon the issuance or exercise of warrants to banks and other similar financial institutions, equipment lessors, or other persons in similar commercial situations with the Corporation if such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors, including the directors elected by the Series A Preferred Stock; 5) pursuant to the acquisition of another business entity or business segment of any such entity by the Corporation by merger, purchase of substantially all the assets or other reorganization or corporate partnering agreement if such issuance is 11
approved by the Board of Directors, including the directors elected by the Series A Preferred Stock; 6) in a Qualified IPO; or 7) for which adjustment of the Conversion Price is made pursuant to Section 6(e). (2) "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Common Stock and Preferred Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock. (3) "Original Series A Issue Date" shall mean November 14, 2000. (4) "Options" shall mean rights, options, or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either Common Stock or Convertible Securities. (ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Price for any share of Preferred Stock shall be made in respect of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6(d)(v) hereof) for an Additional Share of Common Stock issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is less than the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect on the date of, and immediately prior to, such issue. (iii) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation, after the Original Series A Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6(d)(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, for the Series A Preferred Stock, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance shall be calculated on a fully-diluted basis, as if all shares of Preferred Stock and all Convertible Securities had been fully converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance and any outstanding Options had been fully exercised immediately prior to such issuance (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date. 12
(iv) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation at any time, or from time to time, after the Original Series A Issue Date, shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issuance or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued: (1) no further adjustments in the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be made upon the subsequent issuance of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; (2) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or decrease or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities (provided, however, that no such adjustment of the Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock); (3) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if: (A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issuance of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issuance of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and (B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were 13
issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issuance of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Article II(C), Section 5(d)(v)) upon the issuance of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; (4) no readjustment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (b) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; (5) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issuance thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (3) above; and (6) if any such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be cancelled as of the close of business on such record date and shall instead be made on the actual date of issuance, if any. (v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: (1) Cash and property. Such consideration shall: (A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; (B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and (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, be 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. (2) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 6(d)(iv), relating to Options and Convertible Securities shall be determined by dividing: 14
(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (B) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. (e) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Stock Dividends and for Combinations or Subdivisions of Common Stock. In the event that the Corporation at any time, or from time to time, after the Original Series A Issue Date shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price for the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that this Corporation shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Corporation shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock. (f) Adjustments for Reclassification and Reorganization. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 6(e) above or a merger or other reorganization treated as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation under Section 2(c) above), the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock, or other securities or property, which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock immediately before that change. 15
(g) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 6 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock against impairment. (h) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock a certificate executed by the Corporation's President or Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price for the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (i) Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Corporation shall propose at any time: (i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock (other than by purchase of shares of Common Stock of employees, officers or directors of, or consultants to, the Corporation pursuant to the termination of such person's status as such or pursuant to the Corporation's exercise of rights of first refusal with respect to its shares), whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus; (ii) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or other rights; (iii) to effect any re-classification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or (iv) to merge, consolidate or effect a share exchange or other combination with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up; then, in connection with each such event, the Corporation shall send to the holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock: (1) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above; and (2) in the case of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event). 16
(j) Issue Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on mandatory conversion of Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion. (k) Reservation of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. (l) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors). (m) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 6 to be given to the holders of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, or if sent by facsimile or delivered personally by hand or nationally recognized courier and addressed to each holder of record at such holder's address or facsimile number appearing in the records of the Corporation. 7. INCREASING COMMON STOCK. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to allow for the conversion or exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities of the Corporation then outstanding) by an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting stock of the Corporation voting together as one class. 8. NO REISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK. No share or shares of Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued as Preferred Stock and all such shares of such series shall be canceled and retired and 17
returned to shares of undesignated Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue subject to the terms herein. 9. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. Except as set forth herein, any amendment, waiver or action required or permitted under this Article V with respect to the Preferred Stock shall become effective and binding upon all holders of Preferred Stock if the same is approved by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding; provided, however, that no amendment may be made to Article V Section 5 without the consent of the requisite holders of Preferred Stock as set forth therein. ARTICLE VI No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, provided that this Article VI shall not eliminate the liability of a director for any act or omission for which such elimination of liability is not permitted under the General Corporation Law. No amendment to the General Corporation Law that further limits the acts or omissions for which elimination of liability is permitted shall affect the liability of a director for any act or omission which occurs prior to the effective date of the amendment. ARTICLE VII The Corporation shall indemnity any current or former director or officer or related person or agent (an "Indemnified Person") of the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (including an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee, related person or agent of the Corporation or a fiduciary within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation, or serves or served at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, related person or agent, or as a fiduciary of an employee benefit plan, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Corporation may, at its sole discretion, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person in any such proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if the person sets forth in writing (i) the person's good faith belief that the person is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII and (ii) the person's agreement to repay all advances if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article VII. This Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other provisions for indemnification of or advancement of expenses to an Indemnified Person that may be included in any statute, bylaw, agreement, general or specific action of the Board of Directors, vote of stockholders or other document or arrangement. ARTICLE VIII Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless a stockholder demands election by written ballot before voting begins at a meeting of stockholders or unless the Bylaws of the corporation shall so provide. 18
ARTICLE IX The management of the business and conduct of the Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be no less than one (1) and, subject to Article V, Section 4, no more than seven (7), as shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. ARTICLE X In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, t he Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. ARTICLE XI Meetings of the stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside of the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the corporation has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by Stephen G.

If, during the term of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than 12 months following a Change in Control, the Company terminates the Executive's employment with the Company for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability (as such terms are defined below), then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to two times his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment plus two times the Executive's average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years. If, during the term of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than 12 months following a Change in Control, Executive resigns his Employment for Good Reason (as such term is defined below), then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to one and one-half times (i) his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment and (ii) his average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years. However, the amount of the severance payment under this Subsection (b) shall be reduced 3

The severance payments under this Subsection (b) shall in no event commence prior to the earliest date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The severance payments under this Subsection (c) shall in no event commence prior to the earliest date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. If the commencement of such severance payments must be delayed, as determined by the Company, then the deferred installments shall be paid in a lump sum on the earliest practicable date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code. (d) PARACHUTE TAXES. If amounts paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Total Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax and any such interest or penalties are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then the Total Payments shall be reduced to ensure that the Total Payments are not subject to Excise Tax. In determining whether to cap the Total Payments, compensation or other amounts that the Executive is entitled to receive other than pursuant to this Agreement shall be disregarded. All determinations and calculations required to be made under this provision will be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Executive from among the largest eight accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"). If the Accounting Firm determines that the Total Payments are to be reduced under the preceding sentences, then the Company will promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. Executive may then elect, in his sole discretion, which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election no Excise Tax will be payable), and Executive will advise the Company in writing of his election within 10 business days of receipt of notice. If Executive makes no such election within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election no Excise Tax will be payable), and it will notify Executive promptly of such election. The fees of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Company. 4

In determining whether to cap the Total Payments, compensation or other amounts that the Executive is entitled to receive other than pursuant to this Agreement shall be disregarded. All determinations and calculations required to be made under this provision will be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Executive from among the largest eight accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"). If the Accounting Firm determines that the Total Payments are to be reduced under the preceding sentences, then the Company will promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof.

If Executive makes no such election within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election no Excise Tax will be payable), and it will notify Executive promptly of such election.
