adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect,

(vi) that the rights of holders
to convert shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock being redeemed

Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price.
Upon mailing any such Redemption Notice, the Company
shall become obligated to redeem at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date
all shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock therein specified; provided,
however, any redemption contemplated by any Redemption Notice may be
conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more transactions or other events and
the Redemption Date in such Redemption Notice may be the date on which such
transaction is consummated or such other event occurs.
(c) Mechanics of Redemption.
(i) The Company shall pay the
Redemption Price on the Redemption Date upon surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Class A Series 2
Preferred Stock to be redeemed (endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Board
shall so require and is so stated in the notice sent by the Company); provided
that if such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, the Board may require
such holder to indemnify the Company for such lost, stolen or destroyed
certificate, in a reasonable amount and in a reasonable manner, prior to paying
such Redemption Price. In case fewer
than all of the shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock
represented by any such certificate are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall
be issued representing the unredeemed Redemption Securities without cost to the
holder thereof, except as set forth in the following sentence. The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp
or similar issue or transfer tax due upon the issuance of a new certificate for
any shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock not redeemed in the
name of the redeeming holder, except that the Company shall not be obligated to
pay any such tax due because a certificate for shares of Class A Series 2
Preferred Stock is issued in a name other than the name of the redeeming holder
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person
requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or
has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has
been or will be paid.
(ii) From and after the
Redemption Date, Dividends on the shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred
Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date will cease to accrue; said shares
of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock will no longer be deemed to be
outstanding; and all rights of the holder thereof as a holder of shares of Class A
Series 2 Preferred Stock (except the right to receive from the Company the
Redemption Price) shall cease and terminate with respect to said shares of Class A
Series 2 Preferred Stock; provided that in the event that any
shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock are not redeemed within
five (5) Business Days due to a default in payment by the Company or
because the Company is otherwise unable to pay the Redemption Price, such
shares of Class A Series 2 Preferred Stock will remain outstanding
and will be entitled to all of the rights provided herein. Any shares of Class A Series 2
Preferred Stock that have been
