(Pursuant to Section 151 of the

--------------
Magellan Health Services, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), hereby
certifies that the following resolutions were adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") pursuant to authority of the Board
of Directors as required by Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board
of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of the
Corporation's previously authorized preferred stock, without par value (the
"Preferred Stock"), and hereby states the designation and number thereof, and
fixes the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and
other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereof, as follows:
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock:
I. Designation and Amount
The designation of this series of shares shall be "Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock"); the stated value
per share shall be $1,000 (the "Stated Value"); and the number of shares
constituting such series shall be [_________]. The number of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock may be decreased from time to time by a resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such number shall
not be decreased below the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock then outstanding.
II. Rank
A. With respect to dividend rights, the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank
(i) junior to each other class or series of Preferred Stock which by its terms
ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, (ii) on
a parity with each other class or series of Preferred Stock which by its terms
ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends,
including the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value
(the "Series B Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation, and (iii) prior to the
Corporation's Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share (the "Common Stock"), and,
except as specified above, all other classes and series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereafter issued by the Corporation. With respect to dividends, all
equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks
senior, including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the
"Junior Dividend Securities"; all equity securities of the Corporation with
which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks on a parity, including the Series B
Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the "Parity Dividend
Securities"; and all equity securities of the Corporation (other than
convertible debt securities) to which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior,
with respect to dividends, are collectively referred to herein as the "Senior
Dividend Securities."
B. With respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A
Preferred Stock shall rank (i) junior to each other class or series of Preferred
Stock which by its terms ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (ii) on a
parity with each other class or series of Preferred Stock which by its terms
ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution of assets
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, including the
Series B Preferred Stock, and (iii) prior to the Common Stock, and, except as
specified above, all other classes and series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereinafter issued by the Corporation. With respect to the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, all equity securities of the
Corporation to which the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior, including the
Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as "Junior Liquidation
Securities" (and together with the Junior Dividend Securities are referred to
herein as the "Junior Securities"); all equity securities of the Corporation
(other than convertible debt securities) to which the Series A Preferred Stock
ranks on parity, including the Series B Preferred Stock, are collectively
referred to herein as "Parity Liquidation Securities" (and together with the
Parity Dividend Securities are referred to herein as the "Parity Securities");
and all equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series A Preferred
Stock ranks junior are collectively referred to herein as "Senior Liquidation
Securities" (and together with the Senior Dividend Securities are referred to
herein as the "Senior Securities").
III. Dividends
A. Dividends. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall accumulate dividends
at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payment of which shall be made in cash except as
otherwise provided in this Article III. Dividends shall be paid in four equal
quarterly installments on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the Business Day next
preceding such day (each such date, regardless of whether any dividends have
been paid or declared and set aside for payment on such date, a "Dividend
Payment Date"), to holders of record (the "Registered Holders") as they appear
on the stock record books of the Corporation on the fifteenth day prior to the
relevant Dividend Payment Date; provided, however, that the Corporation may
elect not to make any dividend payment due hereunder on any Dividend Payment
Date (other than as required in connection with any redemption of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock or any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation), and any such amount then due in respect of dividends shall
constitute an Arrearage (as defined below). Dividends shall be paid only when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds at the time legally
available for the payment of dividends. Dividends shall begin to accumulate on
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and
shall be deemed to accumulate from day to day whether or not earned or declared
until paid. Dividends shall accumulate on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months (four 90-day quarters) and the actual number of days
elapsed in the period for which payable.
B. Accumulation. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
cumulative, and from and after any Dividend Payment Date on which any dividend
that has accumulated or been deemed to have accumulated through such date has
not been paid in full or any payment date set for a redemption on which such
redemption payment has not been paid in full, additional dividends shall
accumulate in respect of the amount of such unpaid dividends or unpaid
redemption payment (such amount, the "Arrearage") at the annual rate then in
effect as provided in Section A of this Article III (or such lesser rate as may
be the maximum rate that is then permitted by applicable law). Such additional
dividends in respect of any Arrearage shall be deemed to accumulate from day to
day whether or not earned or declared until the Arrearage is paid, shall be
calculated as of such successive Dividend Payment Date and shall constitute an
additional Arrearage from and after any Dividend Payment Date to the extent not
paid on such Dividend Payment Date. References in any Article herein to
dividends that have accumulated or that have been deemed to have accumulated
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock shall include the amount, if any,
of any Arrearage together with any dividends accumulated or deemed to have
accumulated on such Arrearage pursuant to the immediately preceding two
sentences. Additional dividends in respect of any Arrearage may be declared and
paid at any time, in whole or in part, without reference to any regular Dividend
Payment Date, to Registered Holders as they appear on the stock record books of
the Corporation on such record date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors
(which record date shall be no less than 10 days prior to the corresponding
payment date).
C. Payment in Common Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section A of
this Article III, (i) any dividend payment (such payment, a "Non-Arrearage
Payment") made in full on the first Dividend Payment Date on which such payment
is due (without taking into account the proviso to the second sentence of
Section A of this Article III in determining the first Dividend Payment Date on
which such payment is due) and (ii) any payment (such payment, an "Arrearage
Payment") made at any time prior to the second anniversary of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any Arrearage, may be
made in the form of shares of Common Stock; provided that:
(i) the Common Stock is then validly listed for trading on the NYSE or
other national securities exchange or quoted on a nationally recognized
quotation system;
(ii) such shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and when
issued in connection with such payment, will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable;
(iii) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of
such payment does not: (a) violate any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Bylaws; (b) give rise to any preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal or other similar rights on behalf of any Person under any
applicable Law or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws or any agreement or instrument applicable to the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries; (c) conflict with, contravene or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
(with or without notice or the passage of time) under, or result in or give
rise to a right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or modification
of any right or obligation under, or give rise to a right to put or to
compel a tender offer for outstanding securities of the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries under, or require any consent, waiver or approval
under, any note, bond, debt instrument, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
lease, loan agreement, joint venture agreement, Regulatory Approval,
contract or any other agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Corporation
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (assuming for the purpose of this
clause (c) that all conditions precedent to the conversion of Series A
Preferred Stock have been satisfied and that all outstanding shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock have been converted into Common Stock); (d) result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any assets or properties of
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or (e) violate any Law
applicable to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iv) (a) no default or event of default, or event that with notice or
the passage of time would constitute a default or event of default, has
occurred and is continuing (or will occur as a result of the issuance of
shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of such payment), under any
contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument
evidencing Indebtedness of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than inter-company Indebtedness between the Corporation and any of
its Subsidiaries or between Subsidiaries of the Corporation) the
outstanding principal amount of which is in excess of $10,000,000 and as a
result of such default, event of default or event the holders thereof have
accelerated or have the right to accelerate (or would have the right to
accelerate with notice or the passage of time) the maturity thereof, and
(b) the Corporation has not been notified that a breach of the Investment
Agreement or the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock has occurred and is continuing;
(v) (a) with respect to any Non-Arrearage Payment, the Trailing
Average Value (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the product of
(A) 0.40, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Price, and (b) with respect to
any Arrearage Payment, the Trailing Average Value (as defined below) is
equal to or greater than the product of (A) 0.60, multiplied by (B) the
Conversion Price;
(vi) (a) with respect to any Non-Arrearage Payment, the average daily
trading volume in the Common Stock during the period used to calculate the
Trailing Average Value is at least 50% of the average daily trading volume
in the Common Stock for the 180-day period ending on the date of the
Investment Agreement, and (b) with respect to any Arrearage Payment, the
average daily trading volume in the Common Stock during the period used to
calculate the Trailing Average Value is at least 67% of the average daily
trading volume in the Common Stock for the 180-day period ending on the
date of the Investment Agreement;
(vii) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of
such payment does not require the approval or affirmative vote of the
holders of any class or series of the Corporation's Equity Securities; and
(viii) as of the relevant Dividend Payment Date, the Shelf
Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) is effective under the Securities Act and is available for use
in connection with the offer and sale of such shares of Common Stock by
those holders of Series A Preferred Stock that have such right under the
Registration Rights Agreement (it being understood that if a Shelf
Suspension (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
is in effect, the Shelf Registration Statement shall not be deemed
effective or available for use); provided, however, that in the case of any
Non-Arrearage Payment (and only in the case of a Non-Arrearage Payment),
this clause (viii) shall not prohibit the issuance of shares of Common
Stock in satisfaction of such payment if the Shelf Registration Statement
is not effective or not available for use in accordance with Section 2.1(c)
of the Registration Rights Agreement.
For the purpose of this Section C, the value of a share of Common Stock used to
pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall equal (the "Trailing Average
Value") the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the
twenty consecutive Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day prior to the
relevant Dividend Payment Date ; provided, however, that in the event that an
adjustment to the Conversion Price takes effect pursuant to Section B of Article
IX hereof during the period used to compute such average, the Closing Prices
used to compute such average for all Trading Days ended prior to the time such
adjustment takes effect shall be similarly adjusted. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Section C, Common Stock may not be used to make any
payment in respect of any Arrearage.
D. Method of Payment. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time
accumulated and payable on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares then
outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section C of this Article III,
any such partial payment shall be made in cash. Dividends that are declared and
paid in an amount less than the full amount of dividends accumulated on the
Series A Preferred Stock (and on any Arrearage) shall be applied first to the
earliest dividend which has not theretofore been paid. All cash payments of
dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be made in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.
IV. Liquidation Preference
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of then-outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any
nature, an amount per share equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) the
Stated Value thereof and (ii) the dividends, if any, accumulated or deemed to
have accumulated thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders,
whether or not such dividends are declared, and (B) the amount that would be
payable to such holders if the holders had converted all outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and shall, after the holders of Common
Stock have received an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the amount paid
per share of Series A Preferred Stock, be entitled to participate on a pro rata
basis with the holders of Common Stock. After any such payment in full, the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not, as such, be entitled to any
further participation in any distribution of assets of the Corporation. All the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders after the
liquidation preferences of any Senior Liquidation Securities shall be
distributed ratably (in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which
holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Liquidation Securities, if any,
are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up)
among the holders of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
Parity Liquidation Securities, if any, when such assets are not sufficient to
pay in full the aggregate amounts payable thereon.
Neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
Person or Persons, nor a sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of all or
part of the Corporation's assets for cash, securities or other property to a
Person or Persons shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation for purposes of this Article IV, but the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be entitled from and after any such
consolidation, merger or sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of all or
part of the Corporation's assets to the rights provided by this Article IV
following any such transaction. Notice of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment
date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable to
each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in such circumstances shall be
payable, shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less
than 45 days prior to any payment date stated therein, to holders of record as
they appear on the stock record books of the Corporation as of the date such
notices are first mailed.
V. Mandatory Conversion and Redemption
A. Mandatory Conversion. (a) If the 180-Day Average Price and the related
Two-Week Average Price for any 180-Day Reference Period (which Reference Period
shall have ended no earlier than the first anniversary of the original issuance
of the Series A Preferred Stock and no later than the second anniversary of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock), both exceed 200% of the
Conversion Price, then the Corporation shall have the right, at its option and
election, to exchange the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part,
for shares of Common Stock, as if such shares of Series A Preferred Stock had
been converted by the holders thereof pursuant to Article IX hereof on the date
of such exchange.
(b) If the 45-Trading Day Average Price and the related Two-Week Average
Price for any 45-Trading Day Reference Period (which Reference Period shall have
ended no earlier than the second anniversary of the original issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock), both exceed 200% of the Conversion Price, then the
Corporation shall have the right, at its option and election, to exchange the
Series A Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part, for shares of Common Stock,
as if such shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted by the holders
thereof pursuant to Article IX hereof on the date of such exchange.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section A to the contrary, the
Corporation shall not have the right to exchange the Series A Preferred Stock
for Common Stock pursuant to this Section A unless (i) the Common Stock shall
have been validly listed for trading on the NYSE or other national securities
exchange or quoted on a nationally recognized quotation system on each day in
the relevant Reference Period and as of the date of such exchange, (ii) the
average daily trading volume in the Common Stock during the relevant Reference
Period and during the two-week calendar period ending on the last day of the
relevant Reference Period is at least 50% of the average daily trading volume in
the Common Stock for the 180-day period ending on the date of the Investment
Agreement, (iii) the Corporation shall have obtained the Shareholder Approval,
(iv) as of the date of such exchange, the Shelf Registration Statement (as such
term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is effective under the
Securities Act and is available for use in connection with the offer and sale of
such shares of Common Stock by those holders that have such right under the
Registration Rights Agreement (it being understood that if a Shelf Suspension
(as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is in effect, the
Shelf Registration Statement shall not be deemed effective or available for
use), and (v) the Corporation simultaneously exchanges the Series B Preferred
Stock pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of Section A of Article V of the
Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation
may not effect any such exchange if such exchange would: (a) violate any
provision of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation;
(b) conflict with, contravene or result in a breach or violation of any of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or the
passage of time) under, or result in or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation, acceleration or modification of any right or obligation under, or
give rise to a right to put or to compel a tender offer for outstanding
securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries under, or require any
consent, waiver or approval under, any note, bond, debt instrument, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, loan agreement, joint venture agreement,
Regulatory Approval, contract or any other agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries is bound; (c) result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any assets or properties of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries; or (d) violate any Law applicable to the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries.
(d) Notice of an exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Section A (a "Notice of Exchange") shall be sent to the holders of record
of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid,
at each such holder's address as it appears on the stock record books of the
Corporation, not more than 45 nor fewer than 15 days prior to the last day of
the relevant Reference Period. The Notice of Exchange shall set forth the date
fixed for the exchange (the "Exchange Date") and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the calculations and supporting data used by the Corporation in its
determination that it had the right to effect such exchange. From and after the
Exchange Date, all dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease
to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series A
Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, except if the Corporation shall
default in its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock and cash in lieu of
fractional shares to holders on the Exchange Date, in which case all such rights
shall continue unless and until such shares are exchanged (or redeemed or
converted) in accordance with the terms hereof. Prior to the Exchange Date, each
holder shall provide a written notice to the Corporation specifying the name or
names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of
Common Stock to be issued. If no such notice is delivered, such shares of Common
Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, shall be delivered to such
holder. In case such notice shall specify a name or names other than that of
such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes
payable upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in such name or names. Other
than such taxes, the Corporation will pay any and all issue and other taxes
(other than taxes based on income) that may be payable in respect of any issue
or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exchange of Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section A. On or after the Exchange Date, each holder of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate evidencing shares of
Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation at the place designated in the
Notice of Exchange. As promptly as practical, and in any event within three
Business Days after the Exchange Date, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to
be delivered as directed by the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
being exchanged (i) certificates representing the number of validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which such holder
shall be entitled and (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, to which
such holder shall be entitled. Except as otherwise specified in this Article V,
for the purposes hereof, such exchange shall be deemed a conversion effected
pursuant to Article IX and the terms and procedures set forth in Article IX
shall apply. For such purpose, the applicable Conversion Date shall be the
Exchange Date.
(e) In the event the Corporation delivers a Notice of Exchange, the
Corporation shall be obligated to effect the exchange described therein,
provided that each of the conditions to such exchange set forth in subsections
(a), (b) and (c) above is (i) satisfied or (ii) waived by the holders of a
majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Registration Rights
Agreement, in the event the Corporation effects an exchange pursuant to this
Section A, the Corporation shall not exercise its right to declare a Shelf
Suspension (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement during the
period beginning on the Exchange Date and ending 90 days after the Exchange
Date.
B. Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation shall not have any right to redeem
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date
(as defined below). On the tenth anniversary of the original issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Mandatory Redemption Date"), the Corporation
shall redeem (the "Mandatory Redemption") all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock by paying the redemption price therefor in cash out of funds
legally available for such purpose. The redemption price for each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall equal the sum of (i) the amount, if any, of all
unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to the date of actual payment of the
Redemption Price, whether or not such dividends have been declared, and (ii) the
Stated Value thereof ("Redemption Price").
C. Notice and Redemption Procedures. Notice of the redemption of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section B of this Article V (a "Notice of
Redemption") shall be sent to the holders of record of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be redeemed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at each
such holder's address as it appears on the stock record books of the
Corporation, not more than 100 nor fewer than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption, which date shall be set forth in such notice (the "Redemption
Date"); provided, however, that failure to give such Notice of Redemption to any
holder, or any defect in such Notice of Redemption to any holder shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock held by any other holder. In order to facilitate the
redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may fix
a record date for the determination of the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be redeemed, in each case, not more than 10 days prior to the
date the Notice of Redemption is mailed. On or after the Redemption Date, except
with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock for which the Conversion Date
has occurred on or prior to such Redemption Date, each holder of the shares
called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to
the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be
entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price. From and after the
Redemption Date, all dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease
to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series A
Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, except if the Corporation shall
default in payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date in which case
all such rights shall continue unless and until such shares are redeemed and
such price is paid in accordance with the terms hereof.
D. Change of Control. In the event there occurs a Change of Control, any
holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section E of this Article V, may require the Corporation
to redeem any or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such
holder in an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) the amount, if any, of all
unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to the date of actual payment thereof,
whether or not such dividends have been declared, and (ii) 101% of Stated Value
(the "Change of Control Price"). By accepting a share of Series A Preferred
Stock the holder thereof shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that
(a) such holder's right, to receive payment of the Change in Control Price is
subject and subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full and
discharge of all amounts of principal, interest and fees (however denominated)
then outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Notes
and (b) until payment in full of all such amounts (however denominated) under
the Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Notes has been made in cash, no
payment, whether directly or indirectly, by exercise of any right of set off or
otherwise in respect of the Change of Control Price shall be made by the
Corporation, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section F of this
Article V, no deposit in respect of the Change of Control Price shall be made
pursuant to Section F of this Article V. In the event that any payment by, or
distribution of the assets of, the Corporation of any kind or character (whether
in cash, property or securities, whether directly or indirectly, by exercise of
any right of set-off or otherwise and whether as a result of a bankruptcy
proceeding with respect to the Corporation or otherwise) shall be received by a
holder of Series A Preferred Stock at any time when such payment is prohibited
by this paragraph, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over to, the lenders under the Credit Agreement or the holders of
Senior Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, as their interests may appear.
The preceding two sentences address the relative rights of holders of Series A
Preferred Stock or Debentures, on the one hand, and the lenders under the Credit
Agreement or the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, on
the other hand, and nothing in this Certificate of Designations shall impair, as
between the Corporation and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock or
Debentures, the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay amounts due in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock and
Debentures in accordance with their terms. Upon a Change of Control, the
Corporation shall pay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the
Indenture to the extent necessary in order to permit the payment of the Change
of Control Price hereunder.
E. Change of Control Notice and Redemption Procedures. Notice of any Change
of Control shall be sent to the holders of record of the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock not more than five days following a Change of Control,
which notice (a "Change of Control Notice") shall describe the transaction or
transactions constituting such Change of Control and set forth each holder's
right to require the Corporation to redeem any or all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by him or her out of funds legally available therefor, the
redemption date, which date shall be not less than 30 nor more than 45 days from
the date of such Change of Control Notice, (the "Change of Control Redemption
Date") and the procedures to be followed by such holders in exercising his or
her right to cause such redemption; provided, however, that if shares of Series
A Preferred Stock are owned by more than 50 holders or groups of Affiliated
holders and if the Series A Preferred Stock is listed on any national securities
exchange or quoted on any national quotation system, the Corporation shall give
such Change of Control Notice by publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, within 30 days
following such Change of Control and, in any case, a similar notice shall be
mailed concurrently to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Failure by the Corporation to give the Change of Control Notice as prescribed by
the preceding sentence, or the formal insufficiency of any such Change of
Control Notice, shall not prejudice the rights of any holder of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock to cause the Corporation to redeem any such shares held by him
or her. In the event a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall elect
to require the Corporation to redeem any or all such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section D hereof, such holder shall deliver, prior
to the Change of Control Redemption Date as set forth in the Change of Control
Notice, or, if the Change of Control Notice is not given as required by this
Section E, at any time following the last day the Corporation was required to
give the Change of Control Notice in accordance with this Section E (in which
case the Change of Control Redemption Date shall be the date which is the later
of (x) 45 days following the last day the Corporation was required to give the
Change of Control Notice in accordance with this Section E and (y) 30 days
following the delivery of such election by such holder), a written notice, in
the form specified by the Corporation (if the Corporation did in fact give the
notice required by this Section E), to the Corporation so stating, and
specifying the number of shares to be redeemed pursuant to Section D of this
Article V; provided, however, that if all of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock are owned by 50 or fewer holders or groups of affiliated
holders, such holders or groups may deliver a notice or an election to redeem at
any time within 90 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control without
awaiting receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the expiration of the time
allowed for the delivery of a Change of Control Notice hereunder. The
Corporation shall redeem the number of shares so specified on the Change of
Control Redemption Date fixed by the Corporation or as provided in the preceding
sentence. The Corporation shall comply with the requirements of Rules 13e-4 and
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a result of a
Change of Control. From and after the time the Change of Control Redemption
Price is paid in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to any share of
Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends on such share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the holder thereof as a holder
of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate.
F. Deposit of Funds. The Corporation shall, no later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on any Redemption Date or Change of Control Redemption Date
pursuant to this Article V, deposit with its transfer agent or other redemption
agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York having a capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000, as a trust fund for the benefit of the holders
of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, cash that is
sufficient in amount to redeem the shares to be redeemed in accordance with the
Notice of Redemption or Change of Control Notice, with irrevocable instructions
and authority to such transfer agent or other redemption agent to pay to the
respective holders of such shares, as evidenced by a list of such holders
certified by an officer of the Corporation, the Redemption Price or Change of
Control Redemption Price, as the case may be, upon surrender of their respective
share certificates. Such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of
such shares to the holders, and from and after the date of such deposit, all
rights of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are to be
redeemed as stockholders of the Corporation with respect to such shares, except
the right to receive the Redemption Price upon the surrender of their respective
certificates and all rights under Articles IX and XI hereof, shall cease and
terminate. In case holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for
redemption shall not, within two years after such deposit, claim the cash
deposited for redemption thereof, such transfer agent or other redemption agent
shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation the balance so deposited.
Thereupon, such transfer agent or other redemption agent shall be relieved of
all responsibility to the holders thereof and the sole right of such holders,
with respect to shares to be redeemed, shall be to receive the Redemption Price
as general creditors of the Corporation. Any interest accrued on any funds so
deposited shall belong to the Corporation, and shall be paid to it from time to
time on demand.
VI. Exchange of Series A Preferred Stock for Debentures
A. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable, at any time, at the
option of the Corporation and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the
terms of the instruments governing the Corporation's then-outstanding
Indebtedness, in whole but not in part, on any Dividend Payment Date for
unsecured Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures (issued pursuant to an
indenture (the "Series A Indenture") prepared in accordance with the Investment
Agreement), in principal amount of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock
(a "Debenture" and, collectively, the "Debentures"), in accordance with this
Article VI:
(i) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable at
the offices of the Corporation and at such other place or places, if any,
as the Board of Directors may designate. Except with the prior written
consent of the holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, the Corporation may not exchange any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock if (a) full cumulative dividends through the date of exchange, have
not been paid, accrued or set aside for payment on all outstanding shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) the Corporation has failed to amend
its Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with Delaware law to confer
the power to vote upon holders of the Debentures as shall be contemplated
by the Series A Indenture or (c) such exchange could result in any adverse
tax consequence to any such holder.
(ii) Prior to giving notice of its intention to exchange, the
Corporation shall execute and deliver to a bank or trust company and, if
required by applicable law, qualify under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
as amended, the Series A Indenture.
(iii) The Corporation shall mail written notice of its intention to
exchange Series A Preferred Stock for Debentures (the "Exchange Notice") to
each holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not less than
60 nor more than 100 days prior to the date fixed for exchange. The
Exchange Notice shall notify holders of their right to deliver an Objection
Notice (as defined below) pursuant to Section B of this Article VI.
(iv) Prior to effecting any exchange provided above, the Corporation
shall deliver to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock an
opinion of nationally recognized legal counsel to the effect that: (a) each
of the Series A Indenture and the Debentures have been duly authorized and
executed by the Corporation and, when delivered by the Corporation in
exchange for shares of Series A Preferred Stock, will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Corporation enforceable against the
Corporation in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and to general principles of equity; (b) the exchange of the
Debentures for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not violate the
provisions of this Article VI or of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
including Section 221 thereof; and (c) the exchange of the Debentures for
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or that the exchange of such Debentures
has been duly registered under the Securities Act.
(v) The Corporation may not effect any exchange provided above if such
exchange would: (a) violate any provision of the certificate of
incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation; (b) conflict with,
contravene or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or the
passage of time) under, or result in or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation, acceleration or modification of any right or
obligation under, or give rise to a right to put or to compel a tender
offer for outstanding securities of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries under, or require any consent, waiver or approval that has not
been obtained or granted under, any note, bond, debt instrument, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, loan agreement, joint venture agreement,
Regulatory Approval, contract or any other agreement, instrument or
obligation to which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
or by which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; (c) result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any assets or properties of the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or (d) violate any Law applicable
to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries;
(vi) Upon the exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for
Debentures, the rights of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
as stockholders of the Corporation shall terminate and such shares shall no
longer be deemed outstanding; and
(vii) Before any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive Debentures, such holder shall surrender the certificate
or certificates therefor, at the office of the Corporation or at such other
place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors shall have designated,
and shall state in writing the name or names (with addresses) in which he
or she wishes the certificate or certificates for the Debentures to be
issued. The Corporation will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver at said office or place to such holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, or to his or her nominee or nominees, certificates for the
Debentures to which he or she shall be entitled as aforesaid. Shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been exchanged as of the
close of business on the date fixed for exchange as provided above, and the
Person or Persons entitled to receive the Debentures issuable upon such
exchange shall be treated for all purposes (including the accrual and
payment of interest) as the record holder or holders of such Debentures as
of the close of business on such date.
B. For purposes of clause (c) of paragraph (i) of Section A of this Article
VI, an exchange of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be an
exchange that could result in a tax consequence to any holder which is
materially adverse only if such holder shall have delivered to the Corporation a
written notice to such effect on or before the fifteenth day after its receipt
of the Exchange Notice (an "Objection Notice"), which Objection Notice shall
specify in reasonable detail the nature of such tax consequence which could
result from the exchange. If the Corporation receives an Objection Notice, then
the Corporation shall not exchange the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
the Corporation shall, within 15 days after its receipt of the Objection Notice
mail written notice to the effect that it is canceling the proposed exchange of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to each holder of record of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock to which it mailed the Exchange Notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Corporation, based on the advice of nationally recognized tax
counsel, believes that the tax consequences described in an Objection Notice are
incorrect, the Corporation may contact the holder who delivered such notice to
discuss the tax consequences described therein. If such holder withdraws such
notice within 15 days of its delivery, the Corporation shall be permitted to
consummate the proposed exchange.
VII. Restrictions on Dividends
So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Board of Directors shall not declare, and the Corporation shall not pay or set
apart for payment any dividend on any Junior Securities or Parity Securities or
make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or
other similar fund for, the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of, any
Junior Securities or Parity Securities or any warrants, rights or options
exercisable for or convertible into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities
(other than the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of debentures or
other debt securities that are convertible or exchangeable into any Junior
Securities or Parity Securities), or make any distribution in respect of the
Junior Securities or Parity Securities, either directly or indirectly, and
whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other property
(other than distributions or dividends in Junior Securities to the holders of
Junior Securities), and shall not permit any Person directly or indirectly
controlled by the Corporation to purchase or redeem any Junior Securities or
Parity Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or
convertible into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities (other than the
repurchase, redemption or other retirement of debentures or other debt
securities that are convertible or exchangeable into any Junior Securities or
Parity Securities) unless prior to or concurrently with such declaration,
payment, setting apart for payment, repurchase, redemption or other retirement
or distribution, as the case may be, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock not paid on the dates provided for in
Section A of Article III hereof (including Arrearages and accumulated dividends
thereon and regardless of whether the Corporation shall have had the right to
elect to defer such payments as provided for in Article III hereof) shall have
been paid, except that when dividends are not paid in full as aforesaid upon the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared on the Series A
Preferred Stock and any series of Parity Dividend Securities shall be declared
and paid pro rata so that the amount of dividends so declared and paid on Series
A Preferred Stock and such series of Parity Dividend Securities shall in all
cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated dividends (including
interest accrued on or additional dividends accumulated in respect of such
accumulated dividends) on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity
Dividend Securities bear to each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
paragraph shall not prohibit (i) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange,
conversion, redemption or other retirement for value of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock or any Parity Dividend Security by the Corporation in accordance
with the terms of such securities or (ii) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange,
conversion, redemption or other retirement for value by the Corporation of any
Junior Dividend Securities by the Corporation in accordance with obligations in
existence at the time of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
VIII. Voting Rights
A. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting
rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by
law.
B. So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding,
each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to vote
on all matters voted on by holders of Common Stock, and the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall vote together with shares of Common Stock (and any shares
of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to vote) as a single class. With respect to
any such vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle its holder
to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of the record
date with respect to such vote (assuming all conditions precedent to such
conversion have been satisfied and that such conversion had occurred as of the
record date for such vote). Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote with the holders of
Common Stock on any proposal related to the approval of the issuance of shares
of Common Stock in payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock or upon
the issuance of Common Stock with respect to Arrearages upon the conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.
C. If on any date (i) dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock or
Series B Preferred Stock shall not have been paid in full when required pursuant
to the terms hereof or (ii) the Corporation shall have failed to satisfy its
obligation to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred
Stock pursuant to the terms of the relevant Certificate of Designations
(provided, that for the purpose of this Section C, any obligation of the
Corporation to repurchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock or make a
Make-Whole Payment pursuant to Section G of Article V of the Certificate of
Designations with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, shall not be
considered an obligation to redeem such shares), then the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall, without further action, be increased
by two, or if the requisite increase in the number of directors constituting the
Board of Directors would require the approval of the Corporation's stockholders
or is prohibited by the Investment Agreement, then the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased to the extent the
approval of the Corporation's stockholders is not required and the Investment
Agreement would not be breached and a number of directors (other than Investor
Nominees) shall resign from the Board of Directors so that the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and, if then entitled to vote with respect to such
matters, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a
single class without regard to series, may elect two directors to the Board of
Directors, and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and any shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to vote with
respect to such matters, voting together as a single class without regard to
series, shall have, in addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, the
exclusive right to elect two directors (the "Additional Directors") of the
Corporation to fill such newly-created or vacated directorships. Additional
Directors shall continue as directors and such additional voting right shall
continue until such time as (a) all dividends accumulated on the Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full as
required pursuant to the terms hereof or (b) any redemption obligation with
respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock that has
become due shall have been satisfied or all necessary funds shall have been set
aside for payment, as the case may be, at which time such Additional Directors
shall cease to be directors and such additional voting right of the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall terminate
subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent event of the
character indicated above.
D. So long as members of the Investor Group Beneficially Own a majority of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock,
if any default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under any
contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument
evidencing Indebtedness of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (other
than inter-company Indebtedness between the Corporation and any of its
Subsidiaries or between Subsidiaries of the Corporation) the outstanding
principal amount of which is in excess of $10,000,000, and as a result of such
default or event of default the holders thereof have accelerated or have the
right to accelerate the maturity thereof, and such default, event of default or
event is not cured or waived within 75 days of the occurrence thereof, then the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall, upon the request
of members of the Investor Group who Beneficially Own a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock then
Beneficially Owned by members of the Investor Group delivered to the Corporation
in writing, be increased by that number that is necessary to enable the Investor
Group to designate a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
(including the Investor Nominees), or if such requisite increase in the number
of directors constituting the Board of Directors would require the approval of
the Corporation's stockholders or is prohibited by the Investment Agreement,
then the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be
increased to the extent the approval of the Corporation's stockholders is not
required and the Investment Agreement would not be breached and a number of
directors (other than Investor Nominees) shall resign from the Board of
Directors so as to enable the Investor Group to designate a majority of the
Board of Directors (including the Investor Nominees), and the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by the
Investor Group and any shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to vote with
respect to such matters then held by the Investor Group, voting together as a
single class without regard to series, shall have, in addition to the other
voting rights set forth herein, the exclusive right, voting separately as a
class, to elect that number of directors (the "Majority Directors") of the
Corporation necessary to fill such newly-created or vacated directorships.
Majority Directors shall continue as directors and such additional voting right
shall continue until such time as such default, event of default or event is
cured, at which time such Majority Directors shall cease to be directors and
such additional voting right of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock shall terminate subject to revesting in the event of each and
every subsequent event of the character indicated above.
E. So long as the Investor or any of its Affiliates Beneficially Owns any
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in the event that one or more of the
Investor Nominees required to be designated for election to the Board of
Directors pursuant to the Investment Agreement are not so designated or are not
elected to the Board of Directors, then the number of directors constituting the
Board of Directors shall, without further action, be increased by the number of
such Investor Nominees not elected to the Board of Directors pursuant to the
Investment Agreement, or if such requisite increase in the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors would require the approval of the
Corporation's stockholders or is prohibited by the Investment Agreement, then
the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased
to the extent the approval of the Corporation's stockholders is not required and
the Investment Agreement would not be breached and a number of directors (other
than Investment Nominees) shall resign from the Board of Directors, so as to
enable the Investor and its Affiliates to designate as directors the number of
Investor Nominees not elected to the Board of Directors pursuant to the
Investment Agreement, and the Investor and its Affiliates shall have, in
addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, the exclusive right,
voting separately as a single class, to elect a number of directors to the Board
of Directors equal to the number of such Investor Nominees not elected to the
Board of Directors. Directors elected pursuant to this Section E shall continue
as directors and such additional voting right shall continue until such time as
the requisite number of Investor Nominees are elected to the Board of Directors
pursuant to the Investment Agreement, at which time the directors elected by the
Investor and its Affiliates pursuant to this Section E shall cease to be
directors (unless elected as Investor Nominees), and such additional voting
rights shall terminate subject to revesting in the event of each and every
subsequent event of the character indicated above.
F. (a) The foregoing rights of holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to take any action as provided in this Article VIII may be exercised at
any annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting of stockholders held
for such purpose as hereinafter provided or at any adjournment thereof, or by
the written consent, delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, of the
holders of the minimum number of shares required to take such action. So long as
such right to vote continues (and unless such right has been exercised by
written consent of the minimum number of shares required to take such action),
the Chairman of the Board of Directors may call, and upon the written request of
holders of record of 25% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal office of the
Corporation, shall call, a special meeting of the holders of shares entitled to
vote as provided herein. Such meeting shall be held as soon as reasonably
practicable after delivery of such request to the Secretary, at the place and
upon the notice provided by law and in the Bylaws for the holding of meetings of
stockholders.
(b) Each director elected pursuant to Section C, D or E hereof shall serve
until the next annual meeting or until his or her successor shall be elected and
shall qualify, unless the director's term of office shall have terminated
pursuant to the provisions of Section C, D or E hereof, as the case may be. In
case any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected pursuant to Section C,
D or E hereof, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired portion of the
term by vote of the remaining director or directors theretofore elected pursuant
to the same Section (or such director's or directors' successor in office), if
any. If any such vacancy is not so filled within 20 days after the creation
thereof or if all of the directors so elected shall cease to serve as directors
before their term shall expire, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote for such director pursuant to the
provisions of Section C, D or E hereof, as the case may be, may elect successors
to hold office for the unexpired terms of any vacant directorships, by written
consent as provided herein, or at a special meeting of such holders called as
provided herein. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote for
directors pursuant to Section C, D or E hereof, as the case may be, shall have
the right to remove with or without cause at any time and replace any directors
such holders have elected pursuant to such section, by written consent as herein
provided, or at a special meeting of such holders called as provided herein.
G. Without the consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least
sixty-seven percent (67%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
voting separately as a class, the Corporation shall not: (i) authorize, create
or issue, or increase the authorized amount of, (a) any Senior Securities or (b)
any class or series of capital stock or any security convertible into or
exercisable for any class or series of capital stock, that is redeemable
mandatorily or redeemable at the option of the holder thereof at any time on or
prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date (whether or not only upon the occurrence
of a specified event); (ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, if the amendment, alteration or
repeal alters or changes the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series
A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely; or (iii) authorize or take any
other action if such action alters or changes any of the rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock in any respect or otherwise would be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Certificate of Designations and the holders of any class or
series of the capital stock of the Corporation is entitled to vote thereon.
H. Other Securities. The Corporation shall not, from and after the date of
the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, enter into any agreement,
amend or modify any existing agreement or obligation, or issue any security that
prohibits, conflicts or is inconsistent with, or would be breached by, the
Corporation's performance of its obligations hereunder.
IX. Conversion
A. Conversion. (a) At the option and election of the holder thereof, each
share of Series A Preferred Stock, including all unpaid dividends accumulated
thereon to the Conversion Date (as defined below), whether or not such dividends
have been declared, may be converted in the manner provided herein at any time
into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. As of the Conversion
Date with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to subsections
(d) and (e) of this Section A, such share shall be converted into that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of (A) the Stated
Value plus (B) all unpaid dividends accumulated on such share of Series A
Preferred Stock to the Conversion Date whether or not such dividends have been
declared, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.
(b) Conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be effected by
any holder thereof upon the surrender to the Corporation at the principal office
of the Corporation or at the office of any agent or agents of the Corporation,
as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and identified
to the holders in writing upon such designation, of the certificate for such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted accompanied by a written
notice stating that such holder elects to convert all or a specified whole
number of shares represented by such certificate in accordance with the
provisions of this Section A and specifying the name or names in which such
holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be
issued. In case such notice shall specify a name or names other than that of
such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes
payable upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in such name or names. Other
than such taxes, the Corporation will pay any and all issue and other taxes
(other than taxes based on income) that may be payable in respect of any issue
or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant hereto. As promptly as practical, and in any event within three
Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall deliver or cause
to be delivered as directed by the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
being converted (i) certificates representing the number of validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which such holder
shall be entitled to, (ii) any cash that is required to be paid pursuant to
subsections (d) and (e) of this Section A, (iii) certificates representing any
shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are required to be delivered pursuant to
subsection (e) of this Section A, and (iv) if less than the full number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock evidenced by the surrendered certificate or
certificates is being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like
tenor, for the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock evidenced by such
surrendered certificate or certificates less the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have
occurred at the close of business on the date (the "Conversion Date") of the
giving of such notice by the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock to be
converted and of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted so that as of such time
the rights of the holder thereof as to the shares being converted shall cease
except for the right to receive shares of Common Stock, shares of Series B
Preferred Stock and/or cash in accordance herewith, and the person entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock and/or shares of Series B Preferred Stock
issued as a result of such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as
having become the holder of such shares of Common Stock and/or shares of Series
B Preferred Stock at such time.
(c) In the event that the Series A Preferred Stock is to be redeemed
pursuant to Article V hereof, from and after the Redemption Date, the right of a
holder to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section A
shall cease and terminate, except if the Corporation shall default in payment of
the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date in which case all such rights shall
continue unless and until such shares are redeemed and such price is paid in
full in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the
foregoing to the contrary, if the Conversion Date shall occur with respect to
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock on or prior to any Redemption Date, such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted by the Corporation into
Common Stock in the manner provided in this Section A.
(d) In connection with the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu
thereof the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fractional interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by
the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, if the Conversion Date is
not a Trading Day). If more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
surrendered for conversion by the same holder on the same Conversion Date, the
number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
so surrendered.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in the event
that a Conversion Date with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock
occurs prior to the date on which the Shareholder Approval is obtained, as of
such Conversion Date, subject to subsection (d) of this Section A, such share
shall be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
quotient of (i) the Stated Amount thereof, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price
in effect on the Conversion Date, and upon delivery of such shares in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Corporation shall pay in cash all accrued and unpaid
dividends on such share as directed by the holder thereof; provided, however,
that if, as of such Conversion Date, the Corporation is prohibited by the terms
of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date of the Investment Agreement or
any Credit Agreement containing restrictions regarding such payments that are no
more restrictive that those in effect on the date of the Investment Agreement)
or the Indenture (as in effect on the date of the Investment Agreement or any
Indenture containing restrictions regarding such payments that are no more
restrictive that those in effect on the date of the Investment Agreement) from
paying such accrued and unpaid dividends in cash as required pursuant to this
sentence, in satisfaction of such accrued and unpaid dividends and in lieu of
such cash payment, the Corporation may deliver shares of Series B Preferred
Stock having an aggregate stated value equal to the aggregate amount of such
accrued and unpaid dividends. Until the Shareholder Approval is obtained, the
Corporation shall not (A) utilize amounts available under Section 6.06(a)(ii) of
the Credit Agreement (or any comparable provision of the Credit Agreement) for
any purpose except to pay dividends in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock
in cash as required pursuant to this subsection (e) or to make payments with
respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, or (B) amend the Credit Agreement in
any manner so as to reduce the amounts available to pay dividends in respect of
the Series A Preferred Stock in cash under Section 6.06(a)(ii) of the Credit
Agreement (or any comparable provision of the Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this paragraph shall not prohibit (i) the acquisition,
repurchase, exchange, conversion, redemption or other retirement for value of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any Parity Dividend Security by the
Corporation in accordance with the terms of such securities, (ii) purchases of
Equity Securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries from executives
and other management-level employees of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with customary employment and severance arrangements,
or (iii) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange, conversion, redemption or other
retirement for value by the Corporation of any Junior Dividend Securities by the
Corporation in accordance with obligations in existence at the time of original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(f) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for
issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with
the terms hereof, such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and shall take all action
required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if
necessary to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.
B. Adjustment of Conversion Price. Except in connection with an Organic
Change, which shall be subject to Section C below, the Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. In case the Corporation after the date of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall pay a dividend or make a
distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
then in any such case the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business
on the day following the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price
obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on such record date and (y) the denominator shall be the sum of such
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and the total number of shares of
Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution, such reduction to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
such record date. For purposes of this subsection (a), the number of shares of
Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the
treasury of the Corporation but shall include shares issuable in respect of
scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The
Corporation will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of
Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation.
(b) Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In case after the date of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
reduced, and, conversely, in case after the original issuance of the Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination
becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or
increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(c) Issuances Below Market. In case the Corporation after the date of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall issue rights or warrants
to holders of shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Price per
share on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening
of business on the day following such record date shall be adjusted to a price
obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock that
the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so to be offered
would purchase at such Closing Price and (y) the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record
date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock so to be offered for
subscription or purchase, such adjustment to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made if the Corporation issues or
distributes to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock the rights or warrants
that each such holder would have been entitled to receive had the Series A
Preferred Stock held by such holder been converted prior to such record date.
For purposes of this subsection (c), the number of shares of Common Stock at any
time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the
Corporation but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates
issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall not
issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury of the Corporation. Rights or warrants issued by the Corporation to all
holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or
purchase Equity Securities, which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be
transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii)
are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, including shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in
each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event
or events (a "Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of this subsection (c) not be
deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event.
(d) Special Dividends. In case the Corporation after the date of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall distribute to all
holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(excluding any regular periodic cash dividend but including any extraordinary
cash dividend), Equity Securities (other than Common Stock) or rights to
subscribe (excluding those referred to in subsection (c) above) for Equity
Securities other than Common Stock, in each such case the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be
adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction
of which (x) the numerator shall be the Closing Price per share of Common Stock
on such record date, less the then-current fair market value as of such record
date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment) of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness or Equity Securities or
subscription rights so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(y) the denominator shall be such Closing Price, such adjustment to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such
record date; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made (1) if the
Corporation issues or distributes to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock the
subscription rights referred to above that each such holder would have been
entitled to receive had the Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder been
converted prior to such record date or (2) if the Corporation grants to each
such holder the right to receive, upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock held by such holder at any time after the distribution of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets or Equity Securities referred to above, the evidences of
indebtedness or assets or Equity Securities that such holder would have been
entitled to receive had such Series A Preferred Stock been converted prior to
such record date. The Corporation shall provide any holder of Series A Preferred
Stock, upon receipt of a written request therefor, with any indenture or other
instrument defining the rights of the holders of any indebtedness, assets,
subscription rights or Equity Securities referred to in this subsection (d).
Rights or warrants issued by the Corporation to all holders of Common Stock
entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Equity Securities,
which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of
future issuances of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case in clauses (i)
through (iii) until the occurrence of a Trigger Event, shall for purposes of
this subsection (d) not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest
Trigger Event.
(e) Tender or Exchange Offer. In case a tender or exchange offer made by
the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any portion of
the Common Stock shall be consummated and such tender offer shall involve an
aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board
of Directors in its good faith judgment) at the last time (the "Offer Time")
tenders may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended) that, together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment), as
of the Offer Time, of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange
offer by the Corporation or any such subsidiary for all or any portion of the
Common Stock consummated preceding the Offer Time and in respect of which no
Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made,
exceeds 5% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock at the Offer
Time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including
any tendered shares) at the Offer Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Time by a fraction of which (x)
the numerator shall be (i) the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock
at the Offer Time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered shares) at the Offer Time minus (ii) the fair market
value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to
stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms
of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered and not
withdrawn as of the Offer Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such
maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the denominator
shall be the product of (i) such Closing Price at the Offer Time multiplied by
(ii) such number of outstanding shares at the Offer Time minus the number of
Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Offer Time. For purposes of this
subsection (e), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding
shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Corporation but shall
include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(f) Closing Price Determination. For the purpose of any computation under
subsections (c) and (d) of this Section B, the Closing Price of Common Stock on
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for the five
consecutive Trading Days ending on the day in question (or if such day is not a
Trading Day, the next preceding Trading Day), provided, however, that (i) if the
"ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such
computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section occurs on or after the 20th Trading Day prior to the day in
question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring
such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date
for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
same fraction which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a
result of such other event, (ii) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the
issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment
to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section occurs on or after the "ex"
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and on or prior
to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so
required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (iii) if the "ex"
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is on or prior
to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required
pursuant to clause (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day
on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the fair market
value on the day in question (as determined by the Board of Directors in a
manner consistent with any determination of such value for the purposes of
subsection (d) of this Section B) of the assets, evidences of indebtedness,
Equity Securities or subscription rights being distributed applicable to one
share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such "ex"
date. For the purposes of any computation under subsection (e) of this Section
B, the Closing Price on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days ending at the Offer Time;
provided, however, that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the tender or
exchange offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to this Section occurs on or after the date of
commencement of such tender or exchange offer and prior to the Offer Time for
such tender or exchange offer, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to
the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this subsection (f),
the term "ex" date, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution,
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the NYSE or
on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price
was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii)
when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common
Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the
NYSE or such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision
or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender
or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
way on the NYSE or such exchange or in such market after the Offer Time of such
tender or exchange offer.
(g) The Corporation may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this
Section B, as it considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax
to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any
dividend or distribution of stock or from any event treated as such for income
tax purposes. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Corporation shall mail to the holders of then-outstanding shares
of Series A Preferred Stock a notice of the reduction at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice
shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect.
(h) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in
the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
this subsection (h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section B, no adjustment to
the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below $0.25, and any such
purported adjustment shall instead reduce the Conversion Price to $0.25. The
Corporation hereby covenants not to take any action that would or does result in
any adjustment in the Conversion Price that, if made without giving effect to
the previous sentence, would cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.25.
(j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, a notice
stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the
adjusted Conversion Price shall promptly be mailed by the Corporation to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
C. Organic Change.
(a) Corporation Survives. Upon the consummation of an Organic Change (other
than a transaction in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity), then
lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby
the terms hereof shall be modified, without payment of any additional
consideration by any holder, so as to provide that upon the conversion of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock following the consummation of such Organic Change,
the holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to acquire and
receive (in lieu of or in addition to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and
receivable prior to the Organic Change), without payment of additional
consideration therefor, such securities, cash and other property as such holder
would have received if such holder had converted such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change.
Lawful provision also shall be made as part of the terms of the Organic Change
so that all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect following
such an Organic Change. The provisions of this subsection (a) shall similarly
apply to successive Organic Changes of the character described in this
subsection (a).
(b) Corporation Does Not Survive. The Corporation shall not enter into an
Organic Change that is a transaction in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity unless lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of
such transaction whereby the surviving entity shall issue new securities to each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock, without payment of any additional
consideration by such holder, with terms that provide that upon the conversion
of such securities, the holder of such securities shall have the right to
acquire and receive (in lieu of or in addition to the shares of Common Stock
acquirable and receivable prior to the Organic Change), without payment of
additional consideration therefor, such securities, cash and other property (the
"New Securities") as such holder would have received if such holder had
converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately
prior to such Organic Change. The certificate or articles of incorporation or
other constituent document of the surviving entity shall provide for such
adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be
equivalent to the adjustments provided for in Section B of this Article IX. All
other terms of such New Securities shall be substantially equivalent to the
terms provided herein. The provisions of this subsection (b) shall similarly
apply to successive Organic Changes of the character described in of this
subsection (b).
D. Certain Events. If any event similar to or of the type contemplated by
the provisions of Section B or Section C of this Article IX, but not expressly
provided for by such provisions, occurs, then the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, will make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the Conversion
Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock;
provided, that no such adjustment will decrease the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
E. Notice of Approval Date. When and if the Approval Date shall occur, the
Corporation shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such
occurrence to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock.

of set-off or otherwise and whether as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding with
respect to the Corporation or otherwise) shall be received by a holder of Series
A Preferred Stock at any time when such payment is prohibited by this paragraph,
such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over
to, the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes as their interests may appear. The
preceding two sentences address the relative rights of holders of Series A
Preferred Stock or Debentures, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior
Subordinated Notes, on the other hand, and nothing in this Certificate of
Designations shall impair, as between the Corporation and the holders of Series
A Preferred Stock or Debentures, the obligation of the Corporation, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay amounts due in respect of the Series A
Preferred Stock and Debentures in accordance with their terms. This Section G
shall not be construed to limit in any manner the subordination provisions set
forth in Section D of Article V hereof.

(Pursuant to Section 151 of the

Magellan Health Services, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), hereby
certifies that the following resolutions were adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") pursuant to authority of the Board
of Directors as required by Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board
of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of the
Corporation's previously authorized preferred stock, without par value (the
"Preferred Stock"), and hereby states the designation and number thereof, and
fixes the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and
other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions

Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock:
I. Designation and Amount
The designation of this series of shares shall be "Series B Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred Stock"); the stated value
per share shall be $1,000 (the "Stated Value"); and the number of shares
constituting such series shall be [_________]. The number of shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock may be decreased from time to time by a resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such number shall
not be decreased below the aggregate number of shares of the Series B Preferred
Stock then outstanding.
II. Rank
A. With respect to dividend rights, the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank
(i) junior to each other class or series of Preferred Stock which by its terms
ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, (ii) on
a parity with each other class or series of Preferred Stock which by its terms
ranks on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends,
including the Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, without par value
(the "Series A Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and (iii) prior to the
Corporation's Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share (the "Common Stock"), and,
except as specified above, all other classes and series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereafter issued by the Corporation. With respect to dividends, all
equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks
senior, including the Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the
"Junior Dividend Securities"; all equity securities of the Corporation with
which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks on a parity, including the Series A
Preferred Stock, are collectively referred to herein as the "Parity Dividend
Securities"; and all equity securities of the Corporation (other than
convertible debt securities) to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior,
with respect to dividends, are collectively referred to herein as the "Senior
Dividend Securities."
B. With respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series B
Preferred Stock shall rank (i) junior to each other class or series of Preferred
Stock which by its terms ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (ii) on a
parity with each other class or series of Preferred Stock which by its terms
ranks on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distribution of assets
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, including the
Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) prior to the Common Stock, and, except as
specified above, all other classes and series of capital stock of the
Corporation hereinafter issued by the Corporation. With respect to the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, all equity securities of the
Corporation to which the Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior, including the
Common Stock, are collectively referred to herein as "Junior Liquidation
Securities" (and together with the Junior Dividend Securities are referred to
herein as the "Junior Securities"); all equity securities of the Corporation
(other than convertible debt securities) to which the Series B Preferred Stock
ranks on parity, including the Series A Preferred Stock, are collectively
referred to herein as "Parity Liquidation Securities" (and together with the
Parity Dividend Securities are referred to herein as the "Parity Securities");
and all equity securities of the Corporation to which the Series B Preferred
Stock ranks junior are collectively referred to herein as "Senior Liquidation
Securities" (and together with the Senior Dividend Securities are referred to
herein as the "Senior Securities").
III. Dividends
A. Dividends. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall accumulate dividends
at a rate of 6.50% per annum; provided, that in the event that the Shareholder
Approval has not been obtained by the Corporation on or prior to April 5, 2000,
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall accumulate dividends at a rate of
12.00% per annum from and after April 5, 2000 through the Approval Date. After
the Approval Date, shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall accumulate dividends
at a rate of 6.50% per annum. Payment of dividends shall be made in cash except
as otherwise provided in this Article III. Dividends shall be paid in four equal
quarterly installments on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the Business Day next
preceding such day (each such date, regardless of whether any dividends have
been paid or declared and set aside for payment on such date, a "Dividend
Payment Date"), to holders of record (the "Registered Holders") as they appear
on the stock record books of the Corporation on the fifteenth day prior to the
relevant Dividend Payment Date; provided, however, that the Corporation may
elect not to make any dividend payment due hereunder on any Dividend Payment
Date (other than as required in connection with any redemption or repurchase of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation), and any such amount then due in respect of dividends shall
constitute an Arrearage (as defined below). Dividends shall be paid only when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds at the time legally
available for the payment of dividends. Dividends shall begin to accumulate on
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and
shall be deemed to accumulate from day to day whether or not earned or declared
until paid; provided that dividends shall be deemed to have accumulated on
shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued on the date of the original issuance
of the Series B Preferred Stock from and after the date of the original issuance
of the Series A Preferred Stock (such dividends, the "Pre-Issuance Dividends"),
and when such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued by the Corporation
such dividends shall be considered obligations of the Corporation with respect
to such shares of Series B Preferred Stock identical in all respects to
dividends that accumulate from and after the issuance of such shares of Series B
Preferred Stock. Pre-Issuance Dividends shall be deemed to accrue at the
dividend rate that would have been in effect pursuant to this Section A had the
original issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock occurred at the time of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends shall accumulate on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (four 90-day
quarters) and the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which payable.
Dividends payable at more than one annual rate for any dividend period or
partial dividend period shall be pro rated on the basis of the number of days in
such dividend period or partial dividend period, calculated as aforesaid, and
the actual number of days elapsed for which dividends are payable at each such
annual rate. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the
Dividend Payment Date with respect to any Pre-Issuance Dividend shall be deemed
to be the Dividend Payment Date that would have been applicable had the original
issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock occurred at the time of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, and if such Dividend Payment Date is
before the date of the original issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have elected not to pay such dividend in
accordance with the proviso to the fourth sentence of this Section A.
B. Accumulation. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be
cumulative, and from and after any Dividend Payment Date on which any dividend
that has accumulated or been deemed to have accumulated through such date has
not been paid in full or any payment date set for a redemption or repurchase on
which such redemption or repurchase payment has not been paid in full,
additional dividends shall accumulate in respect of the amount of such unpaid
dividends or unpaid redemption or repurchase payment (such amount, the
"Arrearage") at the annual rate then in effect as provided in Section A of this
Article III (or such lesser rate as may be the maximum rate that is then
permitted by applicable law). Such additional dividends in respect of any
Arrearage shall be deemed to accumulate from day to day whether or not earned or
declared until the Arrearage is paid, shall be calculated as of such successive
Dividend Payment Date and shall constitute an additional Arrearage from and
after any Dividend Payment Date to the extent not paid on such Dividend Payment
Date. References in any Article herein to dividends that have accumulated or
that have been deemed to have accumulated with respect to the Series B Preferred
Stock shall include the amount, if any, of any Arrearage together with any
dividends accumulated or deemed to have accumulated on such Arrearage pursuant
to the immediately preceding two sentences. Additional dividends in respect of
any Arrearage may be declared and paid at any time, in whole or in part, without
reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to Registered Holders as they
appear on the stock record books of the Corporation on such record date as may
be fixed by the Board of Directors (which record date shall be no less than 10
days prior to the corresponding payment date).
C. Payment in Common Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section A of
this Article III, (i) any dividend payment (such payment, a "Non-Arrearage
Payment") made in full on the first Dividend Payment Date on which such payment
is due (without taking into account the proviso to the fourth sentence of
Section A of this Article III but taking into account the last sentence of
Section A of this Article III in determining the first Dividend Payment Date on
which such payment is due) and (ii) any payment (such payment, an "Arrearage
Payment") made at any time prior to the second anniversary of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any Arrearage, may be
made in the form of shares of Common Stock; provided that:
(i) the Common Stock is then validly listed for trading on the NYSE or
other national securities exchange or quoted on a nationally recognized
quotation system;
(ii) such shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and when
issued in connection with such payment, will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable;
(iii) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of
such payment does not: (a) violate any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or the Bylaws; (b) give rise to any preemptive rights, rights
of first refusal or other similar rights on behalf of any Person under any
applicable Law or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the
Bylaws or any agreement or instrument applicable to the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries; (c) conflict with, contravene or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
(with or without notice or the passage of time) under, or result in or give
rise to a right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or modification
of any right or obligation under, or give rise to a right to put or to
compel a tender offer for outstanding securities of the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries under, or require any consent, waiver or approval
under, any note, bond, debt instrument, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
lease, loan agreement, joint venture agreement, Regulatory Approval,
contract or any other agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Corporation
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (assuming for the purpose of this
clause (c) that all conditions precedent to the conversion of Series B
Preferred Stock have been satisfied and that all outstanding shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock have been converted into Common Stock); (d) result
in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any assets or properties of
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or (e) violate any Law
applicable to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iv) (a) no default or event of default, or event that with notice or
the passage of time would constitute a default or event of default, has
occurred and is continuing (or will occur as a result of the issuance of
shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of such payment), under any
contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage, note, lease or other instrument
evidencing Indebtedness of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries
(other than inter-company Indebtedness between the Corporation and any of
its Subsidiaries or between Subsidiaries of the Corporation) the
outstanding principal amount of which is in excess of $10,000,000 and as a
result of such default, event of default or event the holders thereof have
accelerated or have the right to accelerate (or would have the right to
accelerate with notice or the passage of time) the maturity thereof, and
(b) the Corporation has not been notified that a breach of the Investment
Agreement or the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock has occurred and is continuing;
(v) (a) with respect to any Non-Arrearage Payment, the Trailing
Average Value (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the product of
(A) 0.40, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Price, and (b) with respect to
any Arrearage Payment, the Trailing Average Value (as defined below) is
equal to or greater than the product of (A) 0.60, multiplied by (B) the
Conversion Price;
(vi) (a) with respect to any Non-Arrearage Payment, the average daily
trading volume in the Common Stock during the period used to calculate the
Trailing Average Value is at least 50% of the average daily trading volume
in the Common Stock for the 180-day period ending on the date of the
Investment Agreement, and (b) with respect to any Arrearage Payment, the
average daily trading volume in the Common Stock during the period used to
calculate the Trailing Average Value is at least 67% of the average daily
trading volume in the Common Stock for the 180-day period ending on the
date of the Investment Agreement;
(vii) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of
such payment does not require the approval or affirmative vote of the
holders of any class or series of the Corporation's Equity Securities; and
(viii) as of the relevant Dividend Payment Date, the Shelf
Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) is effective under the Securities Act and is available for use
in connection with the offer and sale of such shares of Common Stock by
those holders of Series B Preferred Stock that have such right under the
Registration Rights Agreement (it being understood that if a Shelf
Suspension (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
is in effect, the Shelf Registration Statement shall not be deemed
effective or available for use); provided, however, that in the case of any
Non-Arrearage Payment (and only in the case of a Non-Arrearage Payment),
this clause (viii) shall not prohibit the issuance of shares of Common
Stock in satisfaction of such payment if the Shelf Registration Statement
is not effective or not available for use in accordance with Section 2.1(c)
of the Registration Rights Agreement.
For the purpose of this Section C, the value of a share of Common Stock used to
pay dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall equal (the "Trailing Average
Value") the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the
twenty consecutive Trading Days ending on the second Trading Day prior to the
relevant Dividend Payment Date; provided, however, that in the event that an
adjustment to the Conversion Price takes effect pursuant to Section B of Article
IX hereof during the period used to compute such average, the Closing Prices
used to compute such average for all Trading Days ended prior to the time such
adjustment takes effect shall be similarly adjusted. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Section C, Common Stock may not be used to make any
payment in respect of any Arrearage.
D. Method of Payment. Dividends paid on the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time
accumulated and payable on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares then
outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section C of this Article III,
any such partial payment shall be made in cash. Dividends that are declared and
paid in an amount less than the full amount of dividends accumulated on the
Series B Preferred Stock (and on any Arrearage) shall be applied first to the
earliest dividend which has not theretofore been paid. All cash payments of
dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be made in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.
IV. Liquidation Preference
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of then-outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any
nature, an amount per share equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (i) the
Stated Value thereof and (ii) the dividends, if any, accumulated or deemed to
have accumulated thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders,
whether or not such dividends are declared, and (B) the amount that would be
payable to such holders if the holders had converted all outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and shall, after the holders of Common
Stock have received an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the amount paid
per share of Series B Preferred Stock, be entitled to participate on a pro rata
basis with the holders of Common Stock. After any such payment in full, the
holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not, as such, be entitled to any
further participation in any distribution of assets of the Corporation. All the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders after the
liquidation preferences of any Senior Liquidation Securities shall be
distributed ratably (in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which
holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Liquidation Securities, if any,
are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up)
among the holders of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and
Parity Liquidation Securities, if any, when such assets are not sufficient to
pay in full the aggregate amounts payable thereon.
Neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
Person or Persons, nor a sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of all or
part of the Corporation's assets for cash, securities or other property to a
Person or Persons shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Corporation for purposes of this Article IV, but the holders of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be entitled from and after any such
consolidation, merger or sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of all or
part of the Corporation's assets to the rights provided by this Article IV
following any such transaction. Notice of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment
date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable to
each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in such circumstances shall be
payable, shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less
than 45 days prior to any payment date stated therein, to holders of record as
they appear on the stock record books of the Corporation as of the date such
notices are first mailed.
V. Mandatory Conversion, Redemption and Repurchase
A. Mandatory Conversion. (a) If the 180-Day Average Price and the related
Two-Week Average Price for any 180-Day Reference Period (which Reference Period
shall have ended no earlier than the first anniversary of the original issuance
of the Series A Preferred Stock and no later than the second anniversary of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock), both exceed 200% of the
Conversion Price, then the Corporation shall have the right, at its option and
election, to exchange the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part,
for shares of Common Stock, as if such shares of Series B Preferred Stock had
been converted by the holders thereof pursuant to Article IX hereof on the date
of such exchange.
(b) If the 45-Trading Day Average Price and the related Two-Week Average
Price for any 45-Trading Day Reference Period (which Reference Period shall have
ended no earlier than the second anniversary of the original issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock), both exceed 200% of the Conversion Price, then the
Corporation shall have the right, at its option and election, to exchange the
Series B Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part, for shares of Common Stock,
as if such shares of Series B Preferred Stock had been converted by the holders
thereof pursuant to Article IX hereof on the date of such exchange.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section A to the contrary, the
Corporation shall not have the right to exchange the Series B Preferred Stock
for Common Stock pursuant to this Section A unless (i) the Common Stock shall
have been validly listed for trading on the NYSE or other national securities
exchange or quoted on a nationally recognized quotation system on each day in
the relevant Reference Period and as of the date of such exchange, (ii) the
average daily trading volume in the Common Stock during the relevant Reference
Period and during the two-week calendar period ending on the last day of the
relevant Reference Period is at least 50% of the average daily trading volume in
the Common Stock for the 180-day period ending on the date of the Investment
Agreement, (iii) the Corporation shall have obtained the Shareholder Approval,
(iv) as of the date of such exchange, the Shelf Registration Statement (as such
term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is effective under the
Securities Act and is available for use in connection with the offer and sale of
such shares of Common Stock by those holders that have such right under the
Registration Rights Agreement (it being understood that if a Shelf Suspension
(as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is in effect, the
Shelf Registration Statement shall not be deemed effective or available for
use), and (v) the Corporation simultaneously exchanges the Series A Preferred
Stock pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of Section A of Article V of the
Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation
may not effect any such exchange if such exchange would: (a) violate any
provision of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation;
(b) conflict with, contravene or result in a breach or violation of any of the
terms or provisions of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or the
passage of time) under, or result in or give rise to a right of termination,
cancellation, acceleration or modification of any right or obligation under, or
give rise to a right to put or to compel a tender offer for outstanding
securities of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries under, or require any
consent, waiver or approval under, any note, bond, debt instrument, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, loan agreement, joint venture agreement,
Regulatory Approval, contract or any other agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries is bound; (c) result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien upon any assets or properties of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries; or (d) violate any Law applicable to the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries.
(d) Notice of an exchange of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Section A (a "Notice of Exchange") shall be sent to the holders of record
of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid,
at each such holder's address as it appears on the stock record books of the
Corporation, not more than 45 nor fewer than 15 days prior to the last day of
the relevant Reference Period. The Notice of Exchange shall set forth the date
fixed for the exchange (the "Exchange Date") and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the calculations and supporting data used by the Corporation in its
determination that it had the right to effect such exchange. From and after the
Exchange Date, all dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease
to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series B
Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, except if the Corporation shall
default in its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock and cash in lieu of
fractional shares to holders on the Exchange Date, in which case all such rights
shall continue unless and until such shares are exchanged (or redeemed,
repurchased or converted) in accordance with the terms hereof. Prior to the
Exchange Date, each holder shall provide a written notice to the Corporation
specifying the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If no such notice is
delivered, such shares of Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if
any, shall be delivered to such holder. In case such notice shall specify a name
or names other than that of such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by
payment of all transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of shares of Common
Stock in such name or names. Other than such taxes, the Corporation will pay any
and all issue and other taxes (other than taxes based on income) that may be
payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on
exchange of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section A. On or after the
Exchange Date, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender
the certificate evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation
at the place designated in the Notice of Exchange. As promptly as practical, and
in any event within three Business Days after the Exchange Date, the Corporation
shall deliver or cause to be delivered as directed by the holder of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock being exchanged (i) certificates representing the
number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common
Stock to which such holder shall be entitled and (ii) cash in lieu of fractional
shares, if any, to which such holder shall be entitled. Except as otherwise
specified in this Article V, for the purposes hereof, such exchange shall be
deemed a conversion effected pursuant to Article IX and the terms and procedures
set forth in Article IX shall apply. For such purpose, the applicable Conversion
Date shall be the Exchange Date.
(e) In the event the Corporation delivers a Notice of Exchange, the
Corporation shall be obligated to effect the exchange described therein,
provided that each of the conditions to such exchange set forth in subsections
(a), (b) and (c) above is (i) satisfied or (ii) waived by the holders of a
majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Registration Rights
Agreement, in the event the Corporation effects an exchange pursuant to this
Section A, the Corporation shall not exercise its right to declare a Shelf
Suspension (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)
pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement during the
period beginning on the Exchange Date and ending 90 days after the Exchange
Date.
B. Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation shall not have any right to redeem
any shares of Series B Preferred Stock prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date
(as defined below). On the tenth anniversary of the original issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Mandatory Redemption Date"), the Corporation
shall redeem (the "Mandatory Redemption") all outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock by paying the redemption price therefor in cash out of funds
legally available for such purpose. The redemption price for each share of
Series B Preferred Stock shall equal the sum of (i) the amount, if any, of all
unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to the date of actual payment of the
Redemption Price, whether or not such dividends have been declared, and (ii) the
Stated Value thereof ("Redemption Price").
C. Notice and Redemption Procedures. Notice of the redemption of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section B of this Article V (a "Notice of
Redemption") shall be sent to the holders of record of the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock to be redeemed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at each
such holder's address as it appears on the stock record books of the
Corporation, not more than 100 nor fewer than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for redemption, which date shall be set forth in such notice (the "Redemption
Date"); provided, however, that failure to give such Notice of Redemption to any
holder, or any defect in such Notice of Redemption to any holder shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock held by any other holder. In order to facilitate the
redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may fix
a record date for the determination of the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock to be redeemed, in each case, not more than 10 days prior to the
date the Notice of Redemption is mailed. On or after the Redemption Date, except
with respect to shares of Series B Preferred Stock for which the Conversion Date
has occurred on or prior to such Redemption Date, each holder of the shares
called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to
the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be
entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price. From and after the
Redemption Date, all dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease
to accumulate and all rights of the holders thereof as holders of Series B
Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, except if the Corporation shall
default in payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date in which case
all such rights shall continue unless and until such shares are redeemed and
such price is paid in accordance with the terms hereof.
D. Change of Control. In the event there occurs a Change of Control, any
holder of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section E of this Article V, may require the Corporation
to redeem any or all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such
holder in an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) the amount, if any, of all
unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to the date of actual payment thereof,
whether or not such dividends have been declared, and (ii) 101% of Stated Value
(the "Change of Control Price"). By accepting a share of Series B Preferred
Stock the holder thereof shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that
(a) such holder's right, to receive payment of the Change in Control Price is
subject and subordinated in right of payment to the payment in full and
discharge of all amounts of principal, interest and fees (however denominated)
then outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Notes
and (b) until payment in full of all such amounts (however denominated) under
the Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated Notes has been made in cash, no
payment, whether directly or indirectly, by exercise of any right of set off or
otherwise in respect of the Change of Control Price shall be made by the
Corporation, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section F of this
Article V, no deposit in respect of the Change of Control Price shall be made
pursuant to Section F of this Article V. In the event that any payment by, or
distribution of the assets of, the Corporation of any kind or character (whether
in cash, property or securities, whether directly or indirectly, by exercise of
any right of set-off or otherwise and whether as a result of a bankruptcy
proceeding with respect to the Corporation or otherwise) shall be received by a
holder of Series B Preferred Stock at any time when such payment is prohibited
by this paragraph, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over to, the lenders under the Credit Agreement or the holders of
Senior Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, as their interests may appear.
The preceding two sentences address the relative rights of holders of Series B
Preferred Stock or Debentures, on the one hand, and the lenders under the Credit
Agreement or the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, on
the other hand, and nothing in this Certificate of Designations shall impair, as
between the Corporation and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock or
Debentures, the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay amounts due in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock and
Debentures in accordance with their terms. Upon a Change of Control, the
Corporation shall pay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the
Indenture to the extent necessary in order to permit the payment of the Change
of Control Price hereunder.
E. Change of Control Notice and Redemption Procedures. Notice of any Change
of Control shall be sent to the holders of record of the outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock not more than five days following a Change of Control,
which notice (a "Change of Control Notice") shall describe the transaction or
transactions constituting such Change of Control and set forth each holder's
right to require the Corporation to redeem any or all shares of Series B
Preferred Stock held by him or her out of funds legally available therefor, the
redemption date, which date shall be not less than 30 nor more than 45 days from
the date of such Change of Control Notice, (the "Change of Control Redemption
Date") and the procedures to be followed by such holders in exercising his or
her right to cause such redemption; provided, however, that if shares of Series
B Preferred Stock are owned by more than 50 holders or groups of Affiliated
holders and if the Series B Preferred Stock is listed on any national securities
exchange or quoted on any national quotation system, the Corporation shall give
such Change of Control Notice by publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, within 30 days
following such Change of Control and, in any case, a similar notice shall be
mailed concurrently to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
Failure by the Corporation to give the Change of Control Notice as prescribed by
the preceding sentence, or the formal insufficiency of any such Change of
Control Notice, shall not prejudice the rights of any holder of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock to cause the Corporation to redeem any such shares held by him
or her. In the event a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall elect
to require the Corporation to redeem any or all such shares of Series B
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section D hereof, such holder shall deliver, prior
to the Change of Control Redemption Date as set forth in the Change of Control
Notice, or, if the Change of Control Notice is not given as required by this
Section E, at any time following the last day the Corporation was required to
give the Change of Control Notice in accordance with this Section E (in which
case the Change of Control Redemption Date shall be the date which is the later
of (x) 45 days following the last day the Corporation was required to give the
Change of Control Notice in accordance with this Section E and (y) 30 days
following the delivery of such election by such holder), a written notice, in
the form specified by the Corporation (if the Corporation did in fact give the
notice required by this Section E), to the Corporation so stating, and
specifying the number of shares to be redeemed pursuant to Section D of this
Article V; provided, however, that if all of the shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock are owned by 50 or fewer holders or groups of affiliated
holders, such holders or groups may deliver a notice or an election to redeem at
any time within 90 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control without
awaiting receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the expiration of the time
allowed for the delivery of a Change of Control Notice hereunder. The
Corporation shall redeem the number of shares so specified on the Change of
Control Redemption Date fixed by the Corporation or as provided in the preceding
sentence. The Corporation shall comply with the requirements of Rules 13e-4 and
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection
with the repurchase of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock as a result of a
Change of Control. From and after the time the Change of Control Redemption
Price is paid in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to any share of
Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends on such share of Series B Preferred
Stock shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the holder thereof as a holder
of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate.
F. Deposit of Funds. The Corporation shall, no later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on any Redemption Date or Change of Control Redemption Date
pursuant to this Article V, deposit with its transfer agent or other redemption
agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York having a capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000, as a trust fund for the benefit of the holders
of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, cash that is
sufficient in amount to redeem the shares to be redeemed in accordance with the
Notice of Redemption or Change of Control Notice, with irrevocable instructions
and authority to such transfer agent or other redemption agent to pay to the
respective holders of such shares, as evidenced by a list of such holders
certified by an officer of the Corporation, the Redemption Price or Change of
Control Redemption Price, as the case may be, upon surrender of their respective
share certificates. Such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of
such shares to the holders, and from and after the date of such deposit, all
rights of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are to be
redeemed as stockholders of the Corporation with respect to such shares, except
the right to receive the Redemption Price upon the surrender of their respective
certificates and all rights under Articles IX and XI hereof, shall cease and
terminate. In case holders of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for
redemption shall not, within two years after such deposit, claim the cash
deposited for redemption thereof, such transfer agent or other redemption agent
shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation the balance so deposited.
Thereupon, such transfer agent or other redemption agent shall be relieved of
all responsibility to the holders thereof and the sole right of such holders,
with respect to shares to be redeemed, shall be to receive the Redemption Price
as general creditors of the Corporation. Any interest accrued on any funds so
deposited shall belong to the Corporation, and shall be paid to it from time to
time on demand.
G. Certain Repurchases. (a) If, at any time after April 5, 2002, one or
more members of the Investor Group (collectively, the "Selling Investors") sell
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Common Shares, in a transaction or
series of related transactions (such sale, an "Investor Sale"), to any Person
other than a member of the Investor Group, the Corporation shall, if the Selling
Investors so elect, repurchase (a "Corporation Repurchase") from the Selling
Investors, for cash, shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing a number of
Conversion Shares equal to the Sale Number less the number of Make-Whole
Conversion Shares with respect to such Investor Sale. The price paid by the
Corporation in any Corporation Repurchase shall equal the Investor Sale Price
per Conversion Share represented by the securities purchased in such Corporation
Repurchase. Subject to subsection (b) of this Section G, in the event that the
Selling Investors include shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an Investor
Sale, the Corporation shall pay the Selling Investors, with respect to the
Make-Whole Conversion Shares, an amount per Make-Whole Conversion Share equal to
the Investor Sale Price less the amount per Make-Whole Conversion Share paid in
such Investor Sale (such payment, the "Make-Whole Payment"). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Corporation shall have no obligation to effect a Corporation
Repurchase or make a Make-Whole Payment unless the Selling Investors afford the
Corporation a reasonable opportunity to include in the Investor Sale up to that
number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to permit the
Corporation to satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section G, and the
Corporation shall have no obligation to effect a Corporation Repurchase or make
a Make-Whole Payment with respect to any Investor Sale that is consummated after
the Approval Date. Each Corporation Repurchase and Make-Whole Payment shall be
completed by the Corporation within 15 days of the consummation of the related
Investor Sale.
(b) Prior to any sale by the Selling Investors of any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock in an Investor Sale, the Selling Investors shall give written
notice to the Corporation of the Selling Investors' desire to sell such shares,
which notice shall identify the number of such shares the Selling Investors
desire to sell (such notice, a "Series B Sale Notice"). The Series B Sale Notice
shall be given at least 10 Business Days prior to the consummation of the
related Investor Sale. The Selling Investors shall not include such shares in
such Investor Sale if, within 5 Business Days of the delivery of the Series B
Sale Notice, the Corporation delivers a written notice to the Selling Investors
to the effect that it will effect a Corporation Repurchase with respect to such
shares following the completion of such Investor Sale.
(c) Prior to the Approval Date, the Corporation shall not effect any direct
or indirect redemption or repurchase of Common Stock unless it has complied with
the procedures set forth in this subsection (c). In the event the Corporation
intends to effect any direct or indirect redemption or repurchase of Common
Stock, the Corporation shall first offer (a "Repurchase Offer") to repurchase
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Junior Preferred Stock at the Repurchase
Price (as defined below) per Conversion Share represented by the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock and Junior Preferred Stock to be repurchased. The
Corporation shall give written notice (a "Proposed Repurchase Notice") of such
offer to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock and each holder of Junior
Preferred Stock which notice shall specify (i) the aggregate number (the
"Repurchase Number") of Conversion Shares represented by shares of Series B
Preferred Stock and Junior Preferred Stock that the Corporation is willing to
repurchase, and (ii) the proposed repurchase price for each such Conversion
Share (the "Repurchase Price"). The date on which such Proposed Repurchase
Notice is given is referred to herein as the "Notice Date." To accept a
Repurchase Offer a holder must, within 20 days of the Notice Date, notify the
Corporation in writing of its acceptance of the Repurchase Offer and the number
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and number of shares of Junior Preferred
Stock it wishes to have repurchased by the Corporation. If a holder does not
provide such notice to the Corporation within such 20-day period, then such
holder shall be deemed to have rejected the Repurchase Offer. Within 5 days
following the end of such 20-day period, the Corporation shall repurchase the
securities specified by each accepting holder at the Repurchase Price per
Conversion Share represented by such securities. The date on which such
repurchases are effected is referred to herein as the "Repurchase Date." If the
aggregate number of Conversion Shares represented by the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock and Junior Preferred Stock with respect to which holders have
accepted the Repurchase Offer exceeds the Repurchase Number, the Corporation
shall repurchase such securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of
Conversion Shares with respect to which each such holder accepted the Repurchase
Offer. During the period commencing on the Repurchase Date and ending on the
120th day after the Notice Date, the Corporation may repurchase and redeem, at a
price not in excess of the Repurchase Price per share, up to an aggregate number
of shares of its Common Stock equal to the Repurchase Number less the number of
Conversion Shares represented by the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and
Junior Preferred Stock repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. After such
120th day, in order to directly or indirectly repurchase or redeem shares of
Common Stock, the Corporation must again comply with the procedures set forth in
this subsection (c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not
prohibit (i) purchases of Equity Securities of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries from executives and other management-level employees of the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with customary employment
and severance arrangements, or (ii) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange,
conversion, redemption or other retirement for value by the Corporation of any
Junior Dividend Securities by the Corporation in accordance with obligations in
existence at the time of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(d) Until the Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Corporation shall not
(A) utilize amounts available under Section 6.06(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement
(or any comparable provision of any Credit Agreement) for any purpose except to
effect repurchases or make payments in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock
as required pursuant to this Section G or to make payments with respect to the
Series A Preferred Stock, or (B) amend the Credit Agreement in any manner so as
to reduce the amounts available to effect repurchases or make payments in
respect of the Series B Preferred Stock as required pursuant to this Section G
under Section 6.06(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement (or any comparable provision
of any Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall
not prohibit (i) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange, conversion, redemption
or other retirement for value of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any
Parity Dividend Security by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of such
securities, (ii) purchases of Equity Securities of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries from executives and other management-level employees of the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with customary employment
and severance arrangements, or (iii) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange,
conversion, redemption or other retirement for value by the Corporation of any
Junior Dividend Securities by the Corporation in accordance with obligations in
existence at the time of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(e) If a Make-Whole Payment would result in an event of default under the
Credit Agreement or the Indenture, the Corporation shall not be obligated to
make such Make-Whole Payment until such time as the Make-Whole Payment would not
result in an event of default under the Credit Agreement or the Indenture, as
the case may be; provided that if the Make-Whole Payment would not result in
such an event of default if made from the proceeds of the sale of Equity
Securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to effect a sale of Equity Securities to permit it to make the
Make-Whole Payment and avoid such an event of default. In the event (i) the
Corporation defaults with respect to its obligation to make a Make-Whole Payment
or (ii) a Make-Whole Payment is delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, a
late-payment charge shall accrue with respect to the Make-Whole Payment at a per
annum rate equal to the dividend rate then in effect pursuant to Section A of
Article III hereof from (A) the time of such default in the case of clause (i)
above or (B) from the time such Make-Whole Payment would have been due except
for the operation of the preceding sentence in the case of clause (ii) above,
and shall accrue until such amount and such charge is paid.
VI. Exchange of Series B Preferred Stock for Debentures
A. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable, at any time, at the
option of the Corporation and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the
terms of the instruments governing the Corporation's then-outstanding
Indebtedness, in whole but not in part, on any Dividend Payment Date for
unsecured Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures (issued pursuant to an
indenture (the "Series B Indenture") prepared in accordance with the Investment
Agreement), in principal amount of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock
(a "Debenture" and, collectively, the "Debentures"), in accordance with this
Article VI:
(i) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be exchangeable at
the offices of the Corporation and at such other place or places, if any,
as the Board of Directors may designate. Except with the prior written
consent of the holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, the Corporation may not exchange any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock if (a) full cumulative dividends through the date of exchange, have
not been paid, accrued or set aside for payment on all outstanding shares
of the Series B Preferred Stock, (b) the Corporation has failed to amend
its Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with Delaware law to confer
the power to vote upon holders of the Debentures as shall be contemplated
by the Series B Indenture or (c) such exchange could result in any adverse
tax consequence to any such holder.
(ii) Prior to giving notice of its intention to exchange, the
Corporation shall execute and deliver to a bank or trust company and, if
required by applicable law, qualify under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
as amended, the Series B Indenture.
(iii) The Corporation shall mail written notice of its intention to
exchange Series B Preferred Stock for Debentures (the "Exchange Notice") to
each holder of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock not less than
60 nor more than 100 days prior to the date fixed for exchange. The
Exchange Notice shall notify holders of their right to deliver an Objection
Notice (as defined below) pursuant to Section B of this Article VI.
(iv) Prior to effecting any exchange provided above, the Corporation
shall deliver to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock an
opinion of nationally recognized legal counsel to the effect that: (a) each
of the Series B Indenture and the Debentures have been duly authorized and
executed by the Corporation and, when delivered by the Corporation in
exchange for shares of Series B Preferred Stock, will constitute valid and
legally binding obligations of the Corporation enforceable against the
Corporation in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and to general principles of equity; (b) the exchange of the
Debentures for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not violate the
provisions of this Article VI or of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
including Section 221 thereof; and (c) the exchange of the Debentures for
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or that the exchange of such Debentures
has been duly registered under the Securities Act.
(v) The Corporation may not effect any exchange provided above if such
exchange would: (a) violate any provision of the certificate of
incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation; (b) conflict with,
contravene or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default (with or without notice or the
passage of time) under, or result in or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation, acceleration or modification of any right or
obligation under, or give rise to a right to put or to compel a tender
offer for outstanding securities of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries under, or require any consent, waiver or approval that has not
been obtained or granted under, any note, bond, debt instrument, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, loan agreement, joint venture agreement,
Regulatory Approval, contract or any other agreement, instrument or
obligation to which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
or by which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any property of
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; (c) result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon any assets or properties of the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or (d) violate any Law applicable
to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.
(vi) Upon the exchange of shares of Series B Preferred Stock for
Debentures, the rights of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
as stockholders of the Corporation shall terminate and such shares shall no
longer be deemed outstanding.
(vii) Before any holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive Debentures, such holder shall surrender the certificate
or certificates therefor, at the office of the Corporation or at such other
place or places, if any, as the Board of Directors shall have designated,
and shall state in writing the name or names (with addresses) in which he
or she wishes the certificate or certificates for the Debentures to be
issued. The Corporation will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver at said office or place to such holder of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, or to his or her nominee or nominees, certificates for the
Debentures to which he or she shall be entitled as aforesaid. Shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been exchanged as of the
close of business on the date fixed for exchange as provided above, and the
Person or Persons entitled to receive the Debentures issuable upon such
exchange shall be treated for all purposes (including the accrual and
payment of interest) as the record holder or holders of such Debentures as
of the close of business on such date.
B. For purposes of clause (c) of paragraph (i) of Section A of this Article
VI, an exchange of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be an
exchange that could result in a tax consequence to any holder which is
materially adverse only if such holder shall have delivered to the Corporation a
written notice to such effect on or before the fifteenth day after its receipt
of the Exchange Notice (an "Objection Notice"), which Objection Notice shall
specify in reasonable detail the nature of such tax consequence which could
result from the exchange. If the Corporation receives an Objection Notice, then
the Corporation shall not exchange the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and
the Corporation shall, within 15 days after its receipt of the Objection Notice
mail written notice to the effect that it is canceling the proposed exchange of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to each holder of record of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock to which it mailed the Exchange Notice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Corporation, based on the advice of nationally recognized tax
counsel, believes that the tax consequences described in an Objection Notice are
incorrect, the Corporation may contact the holder who delivered such notice to
discuss the tax consequences described therein. If such holder withdraws such
notice within 15 days of its delivery, the Corporation shall be permitted to
consummate the proposed exchange.
VII. Restrictions on Dividends
So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Board of Directors shall not declare, and the Corporation shall not pay or set
apart for payment any dividend on any Junior Securities or Parity Securities or
make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or
other similar fund for, the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of, any
Junior Securities or Parity Securities or any warrants, rights or options
exercisable for or convertible into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities
(other than the repurchase, redemption or other retirement of debentures or
other debt securities that are convertible or exchangeable into any Junior
Securities or Parity Securities), or make any distribution in respect of the
Junior Securities or Parity Securities, either directly or indirectly, and
whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other property
(other than distributions or dividends in Junior Securities to the holders of
Junior Securities), and shall not permit any Person directly or indirectly
controlled by the Corporation to purchase or redeem any Junior Securities or
Parity Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or
convertible into any Junior Securities or Parity Securities (other than the
repurchase, redemption or other retirement of debentures or other debt
securities that are convertible or exchangeable into any Junior Securities or
Parity Securities) unless prior to or concurrently with such declaration,
payment, setting apart for payment, repurchase, redemption or other retirement
or distribution, as the case may be, all accumulated and unpaid dividends on
shares of the Series B Preferred Stock not paid on the dates provided for in
Section A of Article III hereof (including Arrearages and accumulated dividends
thereon and regardless of whether the Corporation shall have had the right to
elect to defer such payments as provided for in Article III hereof) shall have
been paid, except that when dividends are not paid in full as aforesaid upon the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends declared on the Series B
Preferred Stock and any series of Parity Dividend Securities shall be declared
and paid pro rata so that the amount of dividends so declared and paid on Series
B Preferred Stock and such series of Parity Dividend Securities shall in all
cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated dividends (including
interest accrued on or additional dividends accumulated in respect of such
accumulated dividends) on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and such Parity
Dividend Securities bear to each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
paragraph shall not prohibit (i) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange,
conversion, redemption or other retirement for value of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock or any Parity Dividend Security by the Corporation in accordance
with the terms of such securities or (ii) the acquisition, repurchase, exchange,
conversion, redemption or other retirement for value by the Corporation of any
Junior Dividend Securities by the Corporation in accordance with obligations in
existence at the time of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
VIII. Voting Rights
A. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting
rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by
law.
B. Through the Approval Date, shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have
no voting rights. After the Approval Date, so long as any shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock are outstanding, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall
entitle the holder thereof to vote on all matters voted on by holders of Common
Stock, and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with
shares of Common Stock (and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to
vote) as a single class. With respect to any such vote, each share of Series B
Preferred Stock shall entitle its holder to a number of votes equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred
Stock is convertible at the time of the record date with respect to such vote
(assuming all conditions precedent to such conversion have been satisfied and
that such conversion had occurred as of the record date for such vote).
C. If on any date after the Approval Date (i) dividends payable on the
Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall not have been paid in
full when required pursuant to the terms hereof or (ii) the Corporation shall
have failed to satisfy its obligation to redeem shares of Series A Preferred
Stock or Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the relevant
Certificate of Designations (provided, that for the purpose of this Section C,
any obligation of the Corporation to repurchase shares of Series B Preferred
Stock pursuant to Section G of Article V of this Certificate of Designations
shall not be considered an obligation to redeem such shares), then the number of
directors constituting the Board of Directors shall, without further action, be
increased by two, or if the requisite increase in the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors would require the approval of the
Corporation's stockholders or is prohibited by the Investment Agreement, then
the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased
to the extent the approval of the Corporation's stockholders is not required and
the Investment Agreement would not be breached and a number of directors (other
than Investor Nominees) shall resign from the Board of Directors so that the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class without regard to series, may elect two
directors to the Board of Directors, and the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class without regard to series, shall have, in
addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, the exclusive right to
elect two directors (the "Additional Directors") of the Corporation to fill such
newly-created or vacated directorships. Additional Directors shall continue as
directors and such additional voting right shall continue until such time as (a)
all dividends accumulated on the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock shall have been paid in full as required pursuant to the terms hereof or
(b) any redemption obligation with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or
Series B Preferred Stock that has become due shall have been satisfied or all
necessary funds shall have been set aside for payment, as the case may be, at
which time such Additional Directors shall cease to be directors and such
additional voting right of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall terminate subject to revesting in the event of
each and every subsequent event of the character indicated above.
D. After the Approval Date, so long as members of the Investor Group
Beneficially Own a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, if any default or event of default has
occurred and is continuing under any contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage,
note, lease or other instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Corporation or
any of its Subsidiaries (other than inter-company Indebtedness between the
Corporation and any of its Subsidiaries or between Subsidiaries of the
Corporation) the outstanding principal amount of which is in excess of
$10,000,000, and as a result of such default, event of default or event the
holders thereof have accelerated or have the right to accelerate the maturity
thereof, and such default or event of default is not cured or waived within 75
days of the occurrence thereof, then the number of directors constituting the
Board of Directors shall, upon the request of members of the Investor Group who
Beneficially Own a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and Series B Preferred Stock then Beneficially Owned by members of the
Investor Group delivered to the Corporation in writing, be increased by that
number that is necessary to enable the Investor Group to designate a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors (including the Investor Nominees), or if
such requisite increase in the number of directors constituting the Board of
Directors would require the approval of the Corporation's stockholders or is
prohibited by the Investment Agreement, then the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased to the extent the
approval of the Corporation's stockholders is not required and the Investment
Agreement would not be breached and a number of directors (other than Investor
Nominees) shall resign from the Board of Directors so as to enable the Investor
Group to designate a majority of the Board of Directors (including the Investor
Nominees), and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock then held by the Investor Group,
voting together as a single class without regard to series, shall have, in
addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, the exclusive right,
voting separately as a class, to elect that number of directors (the "Majority
Directors") of the Corporation necessary to fill such newly-created or vacated
directorships. Majority Directors shall continue as directors and such
additional voting right shall continue until such time as such default, event of
default or event is cured, at which time such Majority Directors shall cease to
be directors and such additional voting right of the Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock shall terminate subject to revesting in the event
of each and every subsequent event of the character indicated above.
E. Reserved.
F. (a) The foregoing rights of holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to take any action as provided in this Article VIII may be exercised at
any annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting of stockholders held
for such purpose as hereinafter provided or at any adjournment thereof, or by
the written consent, delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, of the
holders of the minimum number of shares required to take such action. So long as
such right to vote continues (and unless such right has been exercised by
written consent of the minimum number of shares required to take such action),
the Chairman of the Board of Directors may call, and upon the written request of
holders of record of 25% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal office of the
Corporation, shall call, a special meeting of the holders of shares entitled to
vote as provided herein. Such meeting shall be held as soon as reasonably
practicable after delivery of such request to the Secretary, at the place and
upon the notice provided by law and in the Bylaws for the holding of meetings of
stockholders.
(b) Each director elected pursuant to Section C, D or E hereof shall serve
until the next annual meeting or until his or her successor shall be elected and
shall qualify, unless the director's term of office shall have terminated
pursuant to the provisions of Section C, D or E hereof, as the case may be. In
case any vacancy shall occur among the directors elected pursuant to Section C,
D or E hereof, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired portion of the
term by vote of the remaining director or directors theretofore elected pursuant
to the same Section (or such director's or directors' successor in office), if
any. If any such vacancy is not so filled within 20 days after the creation
thereof or if all of the directors so elected shall cease to serve as directors
before their term shall expire, the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote for such director pursuant to the
provisions of Section C, D or E hereof, as the case may be, may elect successors
to hold office for the unexpired terms of any vacant directorships, by written
consent as provided herein, or at a special meeting of such holders called as
provided herein. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote for
directors pursuant to Section C, D or E hereof, as the case may be, shall have
the right to remove with or without cause at any time and replace any directors
such holders have elected pursuant to such section, by written consent as herein
provided, or at a special meeting of such holders called as provided herein.
G. Without the consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least
sixty-seven percent (67%) of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
voting separately as a class, the Corporation shall not: (i) authorize, create
or issue, or increase the authorized amount of, (a) any Senior Securities or (b)
any class or series of capital stock or any security convertible into or
exercisable for any class or series of capital stock, that is redeemable
mandatorily or redeemable at the option of the holder thereof at any time on or
prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date (whether or not only upon the occurrence
of a specified event); (ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, if the amendment, alteration or
repeal alters or changes the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series
B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely; or (iii) authorize or take any
other action if such action alters or changes any of the rights of the Series B
Preferred Stock in any respect or otherwise would be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Certificate of Designations and the holders of any class or
series of the capital stock of the Corporation is entitled to vote thereon.
H. Other Securities. The Corporation shall not, from and after the date of
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, enter into any agreement,
amend or modify any existing agreement or obligation, or issue any security that
prohibits, conflicts or is inconsistent with, or would be breached by, the
Corporation's performance of its obligations hereunder.
IX. Conversion
A. Conversion. (a) At the option and election of the holder thereof, each
share of Series B Preferred Stock, including all unpaid dividends accumulated
thereon to the Conversion Date (as defined below), whether or not such dividends
have been declared, may be converted in the manner provided herein, into (i)
fully paid, duly authorized and nonassessable shares of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, without par value, of the Corporation (the
"Junior Preferred Stock"), on any Conversion Date occurring prior to the
Approval Date, and (ii) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, on
any Conversion Date occurring on or after the Approval Date. As of the
Conversion Date with respect to a share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to
subsections (d) and (e) of this Section A, such share shall be converted into
that number of Conversion Shares (as defined below) equal to the quotient of (i)
the sum of (A) the Stated Value thereof plus (B) all unpaid dividends
accumulated on such share of Series B Preferred Stock to the Conversion Date
whether or not such dividends have been declared, divided by (ii) the Conversion
Price in effect on the Conversion Date.
(b) Conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock may be effected by
any holder thereof upon the surrender to the Corporation at the principal office
of the Corporation or at the office of any agent or agents of the Corporation,
as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and identified
to the holders in writing upon such designation, of the certificate for such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted accompanied by a written
notice stating that such holder elects to convert all or a specified whole
number of shares represented by such certificate in accordance with the
provisions of this Section A and specifying the name or names in which such
holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Conversion Shares to be
issued. In case such notice shall specify a name or names other than that of
such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes
payable upon the issuance of Conversion Shares in such name or names. Other than
such taxes, the Corporation will pay any and all issue and other taxes (other
than taxes based on income) that may be payable in respect of any issue or
delivery of Conversion Shares on conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant
hereto. As promptly as practical, and in any event within three Business Days
after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be
delivered as directed by the holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being
converted (i) certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable full Conversion Shares to which such holder shall be entitled
to, (ii) any cash that is required to be paid pursuant to subsections (d) and
(e) of this Section A, and (iii) if less than the full number of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock evidenced by the surrendered certificate or
certificates is being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like
tenor, for the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock evidenced by such
surrendered certificate or certificates less the number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock being converted. Such conversion shall be deemed to have
occurred at the close of business on the date (the "Conversion Date") of the
giving of such notice by the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock to be
converted and of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted so that as of such time
the rights of the holder thereof as to the shares being converted shall cease
except for the right to receive Conversion Shares and/or cash in accordance
herewith, and the person entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issued as a
result of such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the
holder of such Conversion Shares at such time.
(c) In the event that the Series B Preferred Stock is to be redeemed or
repurchased pursuant to Article V hereof, from and after the Redemption Date or
the applicable repurchase date, the right of a holder to convert shares of
Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section A shall cease and terminate,
except if the Corporation shall default in payment of the Redemption Price on
the Redemption Date or the repurchase price on the applicable repurchase date,
in which case all such rights shall continue unless and until such shares are
redeemed or repurchased and such redemption or repurchase price is paid in full
in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing
to the contrary, if the Conversion Date shall occur with respect to any shares
of Series B Preferred Stock on or prior to any Redemption Date or repurchase
date, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted by the
Corporation into Conversion Shares in the manner provided in this Section A.
(d) In connection with the conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, no fractions of Conversion Shares shall be issued, but in lieu thereof
the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional
interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by the
Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date (or on the
Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, if the Conversion Date is
not a Trading Day). If more than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
surrendered for conversion by the same holder on the same Conversion Date, the
number of full Conversion Shares issuable on conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
so surrendered.
(e) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for
issuance upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with
the terms hereof, such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Junior
Preferred Stock and Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to
permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and
shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of
Junior Preferred Stock or Common Stock if necessary to permit the conversion of
all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, except that from and after
the Approval Date no shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be required to be so
reserved.
B. Adjustment of Conversion Price. Except in connection with an Organic
Change, which shall be subject to Section C below, the Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. In case the Corporation after the date of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall pay a dividend or make a
distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
then in any such case the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business
on the day following the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be reduced to a price
obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on such record date and (y) the denominator shall be the sum of such
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and the total number of shares of
Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution, such reduction to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
such record date. For purposes of this subsection (a), the number of shares of
Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the
treasury of the Corporation but shall include shares issuable in respect of
scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The
Corporation will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of
Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation.
(b) Stock Splits and Reverse Splits. In case after the date of the original
issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
reduced, and, conversely, in case after the original issuance of the Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination
becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or
increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective.
(c) Issuances Below Market. In case the Corporation after the date of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall issue rights or warrants
to holders of shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Price per
share on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening
of business on the day following such record date shall be adjusted to a price
obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (x) the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock that
the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so to be offered
would purchase at such Closing Price and (y) the denominator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record
date plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock so to be offered for
subscription or purchase, such adjustment to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided,
however, that no adjustment shall be made if the Corporation issues or
distributes to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock the rights or warrants
that each such holder would have been entitled to receive had the Series B
Preferred Stock held by such holder been converted prior to such record date.
For purposes of this subsection (c), the number of shares of Common Stock at any
time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the
Corporation but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates
issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall not
issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury of the Corporation. Rights or warrants issued by the Corporation to all
holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or
purchase Equity Securities, which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be
transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii)
are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, including shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in
each case in clauses (i) through (iii) until the occurrence of a specified event
or events (a "Trigger Event"), shall for purposes of this subsection (c) not be
deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event.
(d) Special Dividends. In case the Corporation after the date of the
original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock shall distribute to all
holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(excluding any regular periodic cash dividend but including any extraordinary
cash dividend), Equity Securities (other than Common Stock) or rights to
subscribe (excluding those referred to in subsection (c) above) for Equity
Securities other than Common Stock, in each such case the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be
adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction
of which (x) the numerator shall be the Closing Price per share of Common Stock
on such record date, less the then-current fair market value as of such record
date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment) of the
portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness or Equity Securities or
subscription rights so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and
(y) the denominator shall be such Closing Price, such adjustment to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such
record date; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made (1) if the
Corporation issues or distributes to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock the
subscription rights referred to above that each such holder would have been
entitled to receive had the Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder been
converted prior to such record date or (2) if the Corporation grants to each
such holder the right to receive, upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock held by such holder at any time after the distribution of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets or Equity Securities referred to above, the evidences of
indebtedness or assets or Equity Securities that such holder would have been
entitled to receive had such Series B Preferred Stock been converted prior to
such record date. The Corporation shall provide any holder of Series B Preferred
Stock, upon receipt of a written request therefor, with any indenture or other
instrument defining the rights of the holders of any indebtedness, assets,
subscription rights or Equity Securities referred to in this subsection (d).
Rights or warrants issued by the Corporation to all holders of Common Stock
entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Equity Securities,
which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect of
future issuances of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in each case in clauses (i)
through (iii) until the occurrence of a Trigger Event, shall for purposes of
this subsection (d) not be deemed issued until the occurrence of the earliest
Trigger Event.
(e) Tender or Exchange Offer. In case a tender or exchange offer made by
the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation for all or any portion of
the Common Stock shall be consummated at any time after the original issuance of
the Series A Preferred Stock and such tender offer shall involve an aggregate
consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors in its good faith judgment) at the last time (the "Offer Time")
tenders may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended) that, together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment), as
of the Offer Time, of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange
offer by the Corporation or any such subsidiary for all or any portion of the
Common Stock consummated preceding the Offer Time and in respect of which no
Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made,
exceeds 5% of the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock at the Offer
Time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including
any tendered shares) at the Offer Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Time by a fraction of which (x)
the numerator shall be (i) the product of the Closing Price of the Common Stock
at the Offer Time multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered shares) at the Offer Time minus (ii) the fair market
value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to
stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms
of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered and not
withdrawn as of the Offer Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such
maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the denominator
shall be the product of (i) such Closing Price at the Offer Time multiplied by
(ii) such number of outstanding shares at the Offer Time minus the number of
Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Offer Time. For purposes of this
subsection (e), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding
shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Corporation but shall
include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(f) Closing Price Determination. For the purpose of any computation under
subsections (c) and (d) of this Section B, the Closing Price of Common Stock on
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Prices for the five
consecutive Trading Days ending on the day in question (or if such day is not a
Trading Day, the next preceding Trading Day), provided, however, that (i) if the
"ex" date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such
computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section occurs on or after the 20th Trading Day prior to the day in
question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution requiring
such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the "ex" date
for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
same fraction which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a
result of such other event, (ii) if the "ex" date for any event (other than the
issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment
to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section occurs on or after the "ex"
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and on or prior
to the day in question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so
required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (iii) if the "ex"
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is on or prior
to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required
pursuant to clause (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day
on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the fair market
value on the day in question (as determined by the Board of Directors in a
manner consistent with any determination of such value for the purposes of
subsection (d) of this Section B) of the assets, evidences of indebtedness,
Equity Securities or subscription rights being distributed applicable to one
share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such "ex"
date. For the purposes of any computation under subsection (e) of this Section
B, the Closing Price on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days ending at the Offer Time;
provided, however, that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the tender or
exchange offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the
Conversion Price pursuant to this Section occurs on or after the date of
commencement of such tender or exchange offer and prior to the Offer Time for
such tender or exchange offer, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to
the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this subsection (f),
the term "ex" date, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution,
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the NYSE or
on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Price
was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii)
when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common
Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the
NYSE or such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision
or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender
or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
way on the NYSE or such exchange or in such market after the Offer Time of such
tender or exchange offer.
(g) The Corporation may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this
Section B, as it considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax
to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any
dividend or distribution of stock or from any event treated as such for income
tax purposes. Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Corporation shall mail to the holders of then-outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock a notice of the reduction at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice
shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect.
(h) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in
the Conversion Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
this subsection (h) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section B, no adjustment to
the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below $0.25, and any such
purported adjustment shall instead reduce the Conversion Price to $0.25. The
Corporation hereby covenants not to take any action that would or does result in
any adjustment in the Conversion Price that, if made without giving effect to
the previous sentence, would cause the Conversion Price to be less than $0.25.
(j) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, a notice
stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the
adjusted Conversion Price shall promptly be mailed by the Corporation to the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.
C. Organic Change.
(a) Corporation Survives. Upon the consummation of an Organic Change (other
than a transaction in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity), then
lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby
the terms hereof shall be modified, without payment of any additional
consideration by any holder, so as to provide that upon the conversion of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock following the consummation of such Organic Change,
the holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to acquire and
receive (in lieu of or in addition to the Conversion Shares acquirable and
receivable prior to the Organic Change), without payment of additional
consideration therefor, such securities, cash and other property as such holder
would have received if such holder had converted such shares of Series B
Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change.
Lawful provision also shall be made as part of the terms of the Organic Change
so that all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect following
such an Organic Change. The provisions of this subsection (a) shall similarly
apply to successive Organic Changes of the character described in this
subsection (a).
(b) Corporation Does Not Survive. The Corporation shall not enter into an
Organic Change that is a transaction in which the Corporation is not the
surviving entity unless lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of
such transaction whereby the surviving entity shall issue new securities to each
holder of Series B Preferred Stock, without payment of any additional
consideration by such holder, with terms that provide that upon the conversion
of such securities, the holder of such securities shall have the right to
acquire and receive (in lieu of or in addition to the Conversion Shares
acquirable and receivable prior to the Organic Change), without payment of
additional consideration therefor, such securities, cash and other property (the
"New Securities") as such holder would have received if such holder had
converted such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately
prior to such Organic Change. The certificate or articles of incorporation or
other constituent document of the surviving entity shall provide for such
adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, shall be
equivalent to the adjustments provided for in Section B of this Article IX. All
other terms of such New Securities shall be substantially equivalent to the
terms provided herein. The provisions of this subsection (b) shall similarly
apply to successive Organic Changes of the character described in of this
subsection (b).
D. Certain Events. If any event similar to or of the type contemplated by
the provisions of Section B or Section C of this Article IX, but not expressly
provided for by such provisions, occurs, then the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, will make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the Conversion
Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock;
