ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Add the following to Item 3: On August 28, 2002, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, at which time the stockholders approved (i) the issuance to SDI of 362,663 shares of Company common stock at a purchase price of $1.585 per share, or an aggregate of $574,821; (ii) the granting to SDI of a warrant to purchase 975,000 additional shares of Company common stock; (iii) a right of first refusal pursuant to which SDI would be able to acquire additional equity securities of the Company, including stock purchase rights to protect SDI against dilution caused by the exercise of options, warrants and other common stock subscription or purchase rights outstanding on June 13, 2002, or granted after that date; and (iv) the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series D 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Stock"), as the payment of dividends thereon, and upon exercise of related warrants. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 13, 2002 among Safeguard, SDI and the Company, on August 28, 2002: 1. SDI purchased 362,663 shares of Company common stock at a purchase price of $1.585 per share, or an aggregate of $574,821; 2. The Company issued to SDI a Warrant to purchase up to 975,000 shares of Company common stock to protect Safeguard against dilution from the exercise of certain outstanding options and warrants held by others that are exercisable to purchase additional shares of Company common stock. Under the terms of the Warrant, SDI is entitled to purchase one share of Company common stock for every share of Company common stock as to which any such other option or warrant is exercised. The exercise price payable by SDI will be equal to the exercise price of any such other option or warrant. The Warrant must be exercised by SDI within nine months of receipt of notice from the Company that any such option or warrant has been exercised, which notices will be given quarterly. Following the expiration of the applicable exercise period, the number of shares subject to the SDI Warrant will be reduced by the number of shares SDI was entitled to purchase during the exercise period, whether or not the shares are so purchased. 3. SDI converted 11,230 shares of Series D Stock, plus accrued, unpaid dividends in the amount of $90,513.80, into 7,142,280 shares of Company common stock. 4. The Company granted SDI a right of first refusal to purchase its pro-rata share of all equity securities the Company proposes to sell and issue in the future (other than compensatory grants of stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants) in accordance with the terms described in Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by Safeguard on June 24, 2002. Page 6 of 12 The funds used in these transactions came from the general working capital of Safeguard. The Proxies and Voting Agreements described in Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by Safeguard on June 24, 2002 expired upon stockholder approval of the matters voted upon at the special meeting of stockholders held on August 28, 2002.
