(ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in subsections (i)(A), (i)(B) or (i)(C) of this Section 3(d) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by a majority of the Board, which majority shall include at least two Series A Preferred Stock Representatives, the Series B Preferred Stock Representative, one of the Series C Preferred Stock Representatives, the Series E Preferred Stock Representative and the Series F Preferred Stock Representative, if any.

(e) Notice of Transaction. The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of any proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation (including without limitation any Change of Control) not later than 10 days prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation is to be held for the purpose of considering and voting upon such action or transaction and (ii) the date on which the right of such holder to receive any assets, securities or other property (including cash) in connection therewith will be fixed. Such notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of the proposed action or transaction, and the Corporation shall thereafter give such holder prompt notice of any material changes to such terms and conditions. The action or transaction shall in no event be effected sooner than 10 days after the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than 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 written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, voting as separate classes.

4. Conversion. The holders of Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of any series of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price applicable to such series of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such series of Preferred Stock in effect at the time of conversion. The "Conversion Price" applicable to each series of Preferred Stock as of the Filing Date is as follows: $1.00 in the case of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, $1.563 in the case of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, $3.12 in the case of Series B Preferred Stock, $5.9377 in the case of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, $10.3603 in the case of Series C-2 Preferred Stock, $12.3667 in the case of Series D-2 Preferred Stock, $12.3667 in the case of Series D-3 Preferred Stock, $7.3668 in the case of the Series E Preferred Stock, and $3.9643 in the case of the Series F Preferred Stock, each such Conversion Price subject to adjustment (including upon the issuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock) as provided below. The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of any series of Preferred Stock is convertible is hereinafter referred to as the "Conversion Rate" applicable to such series of Preferred Stock.

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of each series of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the Original Issue Price applicable to such series of Preferred Stock by (ii) the Conversion Price applicable to such series of Preferred Stock at the time (after giving effect to the adjustments in Section 4(e), if applicable), immediately upon the earlier of (A) the date specified by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting separately by class on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis (B) the consummation of the Corporation's sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, underwritten by an investment bank of national standing approved by a majority of the Board, which majority shall include at least two Series A Preferred Stock Representatives, the Series B Preferred Stock Representative, one of the Series C Preferred Stock Representatives, the Series E Preferred Stock Representative and the Series F Preferred Stock Representative, if any, pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the public offering price of which per share is not less than $10.00 (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar event) and which results in aggregate cash proceeds to the Corporation of at least $80,000,000 (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) (a "Qualified IPO").

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; and provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion, on the date specified in the stockholder vote or consent or on the closing of the Qualified IPO, as the case may be, 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.

(d) Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder of any series of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled upon conversion, the Corporation shall pay cash to such holder equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock as determined by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Prices applicable to any series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows.

(i) If the Corporation at any time on or after the Filing Date shall issue (or, pursuant to Section 4(e)(i)(E) below, shall be deemed to have issued) any Common Stock other than Excluded Stock (as defined below) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price applicable to any series of Preferred Stock (or, in the case of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, for a consideration per share less than the Anti-Dilution Hurdle in connection with the first adjustment, if any, to the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock under this provision) including for purposes of the adjustments contemplated by Sections 4(e)(i)(A) and 4(e)(i)(B) below, the Corporation's first issuance of Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act (an "IPO") if such IPO is not a Qualified IPO, in effect immediately prior to the

issuance of such Common Stock (excluding stock dividends, subdivisions, split-ups, combinations, dividends or recapitalizations which are covered by Sections 4(e)(iii), 4(e)(iv), 4(e)(v) and 4(e)(vi)) ("Additional Shares of Common Stock"), the Conversion Price applicable to such series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue (or, with respect to an IPO, immediately prior to the conversion of the Preferred Stock in connection therewith if such conversion occurs prior to such issue), to a price (calculated to the nearest one-one-hundredth (1/100) of a cent) determined:

(A) In the case of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (C) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities (other than the Preferred Stock), options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to such issue (other than the Lender Series F Warrant, unless such warrant is then exercisable), and (D) 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 Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (C) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities (other than the Preferred Stock), options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to such issue (other than the Lender Series F Warrant, unless such warrant is then exercisable), and (D) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.

(B) In the case of the Series E Preferred Stock, (1) at any time prior to or including December 15, 2009, by reducing Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock to an amount equal to the consideration per share at which the Corporation issued (or, pursuant to Section 4(e)(i)(E), shall be deemed to have issued) such Additional Shares of Common Stock and (2) at any time after December 15, 2009, by:

Multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (C) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities (other than the Preferred Stock), options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to such issue (other than the Lender Series F Warrant, unless such warrant is then exercisable), and (D) 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 Conversion Price in effect on the date of and

immediately prior to such issue; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue, (C) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities (other than the Preferred Stock), options, and warrants outstanding immediately prior to such issue (other than the Lender Series F Warrant, unless such warrant is then exercisable), and (D) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.

For the purposes of any adjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable:

(C) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, including, if applicable, in an IPO, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by the Corporation in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(D) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board, in accordance with generally accepted accounting treatment.

(E) In the case of the issuance of (i) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock (other than Excluded Stock), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than Excluded Stock), or (iii) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (other than Excluded Stock):

(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;

(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights;

(3) 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 increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, such Conversion Price computed upon the original issue 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 such Conversion Price shall affect Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of any Preferred Stock); and

(4) on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, such Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be.

(ii) "Excluded Stock" shall mean:

All outstanding shares of Excluded Stock (including shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes of the computations of Section 4(e)(i).

(iii) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Conversion Price applicable to each series of Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares.

(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, on the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Price applicable to each series of Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

The provisions of this clause (vi) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassification, consolidations, mergers, sales or other dispositions.

(f) Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment in a Conversion Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in such Conversion Price of less than $0.0001. Any adjustment of less than $0.0001 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.0001 or more in a Conversion Price.

(g) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price applicable to any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each affected holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) all such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Prices applicable to each series of 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 such holder's shares of Preferred Stock.

(h) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution (other than a cash dividend), any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or, if a record is not to be taken, a notice specifying (i) the date as of which the holders of record of Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined or the date on which such dividend, granting of rights, reclassification, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to

become effective, and (ii) the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such dividend, granting of rights, reclassification, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, liquidation, merger, sale, lease, exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

(i) Reservation of 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 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 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 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.

(j) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to any holder of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at such holder's address appearing on the Corporation's books.

(k) Waiver of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class; provided, however, that in the case of the Series C-2 Preferred Stock, any such waiver shall require the approval (by vote or written consent) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series C-2 Preferred Stock. Any such waiver shall bind all current and future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.

(l) Reissuance of Converted Shares. No shares of Preferred Stock which have been converted into Common Stock after the original issuance thereof shall ever again be reissued and all such shares so converted shall upon such conversion cease to be a part of the authorized shares of the Corporation.

5. Voting Rights. The holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together as a single class except as otherwise required herein or by law.

(a) General. In addition to the special voting rights set forth herein or provided under applicable law, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be (i) entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, (ii) entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, and (iii) entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Preferred Stock could then be converted. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting

rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

(b) Election of Directors. The members constituting the Board shall be nominated and elected as follows: (i) the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to nominate and elect two directors to the Board, (ii) the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis, shall have the right to nominate and elect three directors to the Board (the directors so nominated and elected as of any given time, the "Series A Preferred Stock Representatives"), (iii) the holders of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to nominate and elect one director (the "Series B Preferred Stock Representative"), (iv) the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to nominate and elect two directors (the "Series C Preferred Stock Representatives), (v) the holders of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to nominate and elect one director (the "Series E Preferred Stock Representative"), (vi) if the Closing occurs, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to nominate and elect one director (the "Series F Preferred Stock Representative," and together with the Series A Preferred Stock Representatives, Series B Preferred Stock Representative, Series C Preferred Stock Representatives and the Series E Preferred Stock Representatives, the "Preferred Stock Representatives"), and (vii) the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis, shall have the right to nominate and elect all other directors. The election of directors as provided above shall occur at the annual meeting or any special meeting called for such purpose or by written consent of the stockholders entitled to vote. In the event of a vacancy of a directorship, such vacancy shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director. Any director elected by the holders of a particular class or series of stock may be removed during such director's term of office, either with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the directors of the Corporation then in office may fill the newly created directorship resulting from the increase in the size of the Board from eleven (11) to twelve (12) directors contemplated by the Series F Purchase Agreement, which newly created directorship will be newly created immediately prior to the Closing and will be filled by the Series F Preferred Stock Representative upon the Closing.

1. Dividend Rights. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board in its sole discretion, subject to provisions of law, any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation and the relative rights and preferences of any shares of Preferred Stock authorized and issued hereunder, provided that any dividend declared or paid shall be declared and paid in an equal amount on each share of the Common Stock.

2. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, subject to the rights and preferences of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock authorized and issued hereunder, to share ratably, in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them, in the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding or reserved for issuance) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote (as determined viewing the Preferred Stock on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis) and without a separate class vote of the Common Stock, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.
