                          "4.  Liquidation.

             (a)         Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, in which all or substantially all of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation or its stockholders is in cash, the holders of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) $100 per share (the "Redemption Payment") and (ii) the amount that the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would receive if they were to convert each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up (such amount payable with respect to one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being sometimes referred to as the "Liquidation Payment" and with respect to all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being sometimes referred to as the "Liquidation Payments").

             (b)        Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, in which all or substantially all of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation or its stockholders is in securities, the Corporation shall have the option, at its election, of paying such Liquidation Payments to the holders of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in cash or in a preferred security of the successor entity having terms substantially similar to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

             (c)         If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Liquidation Payments, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be so distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full the Liquidation Payments respectively, to which they shall be entitled, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be automatically canceled and the remaining net assets of the Corporation may be distributed to the holders of stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

             (f)         The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, with respect to distribution of assets and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank on a parity with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which expressly provides that it ranks on a parity with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to distribution of          assets and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.  The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, with respect to distribution of assets and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank senior to (i) the Corporation's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share, and (ii) each class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which does not expressly provide that it ranks on a parity with or senior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to distribution of assets and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.";

             (2)  Amend paragraph 9(b) thereof by replacing the phrase "Series C Convertible Preferred Stock" that appears therein with the phrase "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock".
