TERMS OF THE SENIOR PREFERRED STOCK
Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 5
hereof.
Section 1. Dividends.
---------
1A. General Obligation. When and as declared by the Corporation's
board of directors and to the extent permitted under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, the Corporation shall pay preferential
dividends to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per
share (the "Senior Preferred Stock") as provided in this Section 1. Except
as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of the Senior
Preferred Stock (a "Share") shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of
12% per annum of the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all
accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon, from and including the date of
issuance of such Share to and including the date on which the Liquidation
Value of such Share (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends
thereon) is paid. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been
declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of
the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on
which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its
"date of issuance" regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share
is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and
regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence
such Share.
1B. Dividend Reference Dates. To the extent not paid on June 30
and December 31 of each year, beginning on December 31, 1999 (the "Dividend
Reference Dates"), all dividends which have accrued on each Share
outstanding during the six-month period (or other period in the case of the
initial Dividend Reference Date) ending upon each such Dividend Reference
Date shall be accumulated and shall remain accumulated dividends with
respect to such Share until paid.
1C. Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments. Except as
otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than
the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Senior
Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Senior Preferred Stock based upon the number of Shares held
by each such holder.
Section 2. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation, each holder of Senior Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any
Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation
Value (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends) of all Shares
held by such holder, and the holders of Senior Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation's assets to be
distributed among the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock are
insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount
which they are entitled to be paid, then the entire assets to be
distributed shall be distributed ratably among such holders based upon the
aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid
dividends) of the Senior Preferred Stock held by each such holder. Neither
the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other
entity or entities, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or
any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the
Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2.
Section 3. Redemptions.
-----------
3A. Redemption Payment. For each Share which is to be redeemed,
the Corporation shall be obligated to pay to the holder thereof upon
surrender by such holder at the Corporation's principal office of the
certificate representing such Share (the "Redemption Date") an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the Liquidation Value of such Share
(plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon). If the funds
of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any
Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be
redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be
used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares ratably among the
holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Liquidation
Value of such Shares (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends
thereon) held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional
funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of
Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the
Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any
Redemption Date but that it has not redeemed.
3B. Notice of Redemption. The Corporation shall mail written
notice of each redemption of any Senior Preferred Stock to each record
holder of Senior Preferred Stock not more than 30 nor less than 3 days
prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. In case fewer
than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are
redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares
shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within
three business days after surrender of the certificate representing the
redeemed Shares.
3C. Determination of the Number of Each Holder's Shares to be
Redeemed. The number of Shares of Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed
from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of
Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Shares of Senior
Preferred Stock to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the total number of Shares of Senior Preferred Stock then held by
such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of
Shares of Senior Preferred Stock then outstanding.
3D. Dividends After Redemption. No Share is entitled to any
dividends accruing after the date on which the Liquidation Value of such
Share (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid
in full to the holder thereof. On such date all rights of the holder of
such Share shall cease, and such Share shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
3E. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any Shares which are
redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and
shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
3F. Other Redemptions or Acquisitions. Neither the Corporation
nor any Subsidiary shall redeem or otherwise acquire any Senior Preferred
Stock, except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a purchase
offer made pro rata to all holders of Senior Preferred Stock on the basis
of the number of Shares of Senior Preferred Stock owned by each such
holder. So long as any shares of Senior Preferred Stock remain outstanding,
the Corporation shall not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any Junior
Securities; provided that, the Corporation may purchase Junior Securities
from present or former employees pursuant to written contracts with such
employees [parameters of such repurchases to be agreed between OSI
Acquisition, Inc. and X'Xxxxxxxx Industries Holdings, Inc.].
3G. Optional Redemptions. The Corporation may, at its option,
redeem at any time or from time to time, from any source of funds legally
available therefor, in whole or in part, the Senior Preferred Stock.
3H. Scheduled Redemptions. The Corporation shall redeem all
outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock on the 12th anniversary of the
date of issuance of such Shares at a price per Share equal to the
Liquidation Value thereof (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid
dividends thereon).
3I. Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation shall redeem all
outstanding Shares of Senior Preferred Stock upon the consummation of a
Change in Control at a price per Share equal to the Liquidation Value
thereof (plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon).
Section 4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the
Senior Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.
