CAPITAL
(1) Classes and Number of Shares
The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation has authority to issue is two hundred forty million (240,000,000) shares, consisting of two hundred million (200,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), thirty-nine million (39,000,000) shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), two hundred thousand shares (200,000) shares of 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 per share (the “Cumulative Preferred Stock”), and eight hundred thousand (800,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, which shall have such designations as may be authorized by the Board of Directors from time to time (the “Preferred Stock”).
(2) Power and Rights of the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock
A. Voting Rights. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters. Except as described below, the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented for a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, voting as separate classes, must approve certain amendments affecting shares of such class. Specifically, if there is any proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that would increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, increase or decrease the par value of the shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of Common Stock or Class B Common Stock so as to affect them adversely, such an amendment must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected class, voting separately as a class. In addition, any merger or consolidation in which each share of Common Stock receives consideration that is not of the same type or is less than the amount of the consideration to be received by each share of Class B Common Stock, other than consideration payable in securities which provide each share of Class B Common Stock with the number of votes that is no more than ten times the number of votes provided each share of Common Stock, must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting separately as a class. Shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
B. Dividends. Each share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is entitled to dividends if, as and when dividends may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and paid. Dividends must be paid on both the Common Stock and the
2
Class B Common Stock at any time that dividends are paid on either. Any dividend so declared and payable in cash, capital stock of the Corporation (other than Common Stock or Class B Common Stock) or other property will be paid equally, share for share, on the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock. Dividends and distributions payable in shares of Class B Common Stock may be paid only on shares of Class B Common Stock, and dividends and distributions payable in shares of Common Stock may be paid only on shares of Common Stock. If a dividend or distribution payable on Common Stock is made on the Common Stock, the Corporation must also make a simultaneous dividend or distribution on the Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to any such dividend or distribution, each share of Class B Common Stock will receive a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock payable on each share of Common Stock.
C. Class B Common Stock Conversion. Each share of the Class B Common Stock may at any time be converted at the election of the holder thereof into one share of the Common Stock. Any holder of shares of Class B Common Stock may elect to convert any or all of such shares at one time or at various times in such holder’s discretion. Such right shall be exercised by the surrender of the certificate representing each share of Class B Common Stock to be converted to the Corporation at its principal executive offices, accompanied by a written notice of the election by the holder thereof to convert and (if so required by the Corporation) by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by such holder or his duly authorized attorney. The issuance of a certificate or certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be made without charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any such certificate or certificates is or are to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any such transfer, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Class B Common Stock and the payment of any tax as hereinabove provided, the Corporation will deliver to, or upon the written order of, the holder of such certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Class B Common Stock (or, if on such date the transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed, then immediately prior to the close of business on the first date thereafter that said books shall be open), and all rights of such holder arising from ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock shall cease at such time, and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates representing shares of Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock at such time and shall have and may exercise all the rights and powers appertaining thereto. No adjustments in respect of
3
past cash dividends shall be made upon the conversion of any share of Class B Common Stock; provided, that, if any shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted into shares of Common Stock subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on shares of Class B Common Stock but prior to such payment, the registered holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive on the payment date, with respect to the shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion, the dividend or other distribution which would have been payable had such shares of Common Stock been outstanding and held of record on such dividend record date by the registered holder on such dividend record date of the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted in lieu of the dividend otherwise payable on the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as may be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; provided, that, the Corporation may deliver shares of Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Corporation for shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted. If any share of Common Stock requires registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such share of Common Stock may be issued upon conversion, the Corporation will endeavor to cause such share to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Corporation will endeavor to list shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion prior to such delivery upon any national securities exchange or national market system on which the outstanding shares of Common Stock may be listed at the time of such delivery. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable. The aggregate amount of stated capital represented by shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be the same as the aggregate amount of stated capital represented by the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted.
D. Mandatory Conversion of Class B Common Stock. At any time when (i) the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as reflected on the stock transfer books of the Corporation falls below 15% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Corporation, (ii) the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock approve the conversion of all the shares of Class B Common Stock into Common Stock, or (iii) when the death of the holder of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock occurs, then, immediately upon the occurrence of any such event, without any act on anyone’s part, the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section C above. At any time when a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock sells or assigns such holder’s beneficial ownership of any shares of Class B Common Stock then, immediately upon the occurrence of any such event, without any act on anyone’s part, the specific shares of Class B Common Stock so sold or assigned shall be converted into shares of Common Stock in
4
accordance with Section C above. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the pledge or grant of a security interest in, or the formation or existence of any lien, encumbrance or similar right against, a share of Class B Common Stock shall not be deemed a sale or assignment of the beneficial ownership of that share of Class B Common Stock unless and until the beneficiary of such pledge, security interest, lien, encumbrance or similar right realizes or forecloses upon its interest therein and becomes the beneficial owner of such specific share of Class B Common Stock. In the event of any conversion described above, certificates formerly representing outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall thereupon and thereafter be deemed to represent the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible.
E. Liquidation Rights. In the event the Corporation shall be liquidated, dissolved or wound up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after there shall have been paid or set aside for the holders of all shares of the Preferred Stock and Cumulative Preferred Stock then outstanding the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled under the terms of such Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock, the net assets of the Corporation remaining thereafter shall be divided among the holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in such a manner that the amount of such net assets distributed to each share of Common Stock shall be equal to the amount of such assets distributed to each share of Class B Common Stock.
F. Restrictions on the Issuance of Additional Class B Common Stock. Additional shares of Class B Common Stock may only be issued upon stock splits of, or stock dividends on, the existing Class B Common Stock. No stockholder of the Corporation shall have preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional shares of the Corporation.
G. Merger, Consolidation, Sale of Assets. Subject to the prior and superior rights of the Preferred Stock and the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if any, in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation in which the Corporation shall not survive, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another entity, or a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation shall be the surviving entity but its Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is exchanged for stock, securities or property of another entity, the holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all cash, securities and other property received by the Corporation.
H. Residual Rights. All rights accruing to the outstanding shares of the Corporation not expressly provided for to the contrary in this Certificate of Incorporation, as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented, shall be vested in the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
5
(3) Power and Rights of the 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock.
A. 10.5 % Cumulative Preferred Stock
1. Dividend Rights. (a) The holders (“Cumulative Preferred Holder(s)”) of issued and outstanding shares of 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Cumulative Preferred Stock”) shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, a cumulative cash dividend at an annual rate of $1.05 per share, payable on the first day of May of each year (or if such date is not a regular business day, then the next business day thereafter), commencing on May 1, 1996. Dividends on the issued and outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be preferred and cumulative and shall accrue from day to day from the date on which such shares are originally issued by the Corporation (“Original Issue Date”). The initial Cumulative Preferred Holders shall also be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, a cash dividend on each share equal to the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, to which such holders were entitled on the Original Issue Date as a result of their ownership of a share of 10.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock of McKelvey Enterprises, Inc., a New York corporation (the “McKelvey Enterprises Preferred Stock”), that was converted into a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Holders shall not be entitled to participate in any other or additional earnings or profits of the Corporation beyond the foregoing dividend rights by reason of owning Cumulative Preferred Stock.
(b) Unless the full amount of cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock up to and including the most current dividend payment date shall have been paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, or in the event the Corporation is in default in its redemption obligations under Section A3(a) below, the Corporation shall not at any time (i) set aside or apply any sum for the purchase or redemption of any outstanding Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation, except the Cumulative Preferred Stock, or (ii) declare any dividend (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock of the Corporation) or distribution on, or set aside or apply any sum for the payment of any dividend or other distribution on, the Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation, except the Cumulative Preferred Stock.
2. Voting Rights. Except as may otherwise be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and as set forth below in Section A5, the Cumulative Preferred Holders shall not be entitled to vote their shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock on any matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation or at any meeting of such shareholders.
6
3. Redemption Rights.
(a) Optional Redemption By Cumulative Preferred Holders (“Put”).
(i) At any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, any Cumulative Preferred Holder may give the Corporation notice of intention to require the Corporation to redeem (“Put”) all or any portion of such Cumulative Preferred Holder’s Cumulative Preferred Stock (collectively, “Put Shares”); and the Corporation shall redeem the Put Shares, all subject to the limitations described below.
(ii) Notwithstanding the Put right provided to Cumulative Preferred Holders under Section A3(a)(i) above, the Corporation shall not be required to redeem Put Shares in any single twelve-month period commencing on and continuing after the original issue date of the McKelvey Enterprises Preferred Stock in excess of the number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock equal to (A) 20% of the aggregate number of shares of the McKelvey Enterprises Preferred Stock originally issued, multiplied by the number of twelve-month periods after the original issue date of the McKelvey Enterprises Preferred Stock (with the first twelve-month period immediately following the original issue date of the McKelvey Enterprises Preferred Stock being considered “one,” the twelve-month period thereafter being considered “two” and so on), less (B) the sum of the number of Put Shares previously redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to the exercise by Cumulative Preferred Holders of Put rights and the number of put shares previously redeemed by McKelvey Enterprises, Inc. pursuant to the exercise by holders of McKelvey Enterprises Preferred Stock of their put rights. In addition, in the event required distributions or loan obligations to participants under the Corporation’s profit sharing plan at any time exceeds the limitations set forth above, the Cumulative Preferred Holders may require the Corporation to redeem that number of additional shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock needed to permit the Cumulative Preferred Holders to make such distributions or loans to participants and the proceeds shall be applied solely for such purposes.
(iii) The cash redemption price to be paid for each Put Share redeemed pursuant to this Section A3(a) shall be an amount equal to the par value thereof, plus the amount of any unpaid cumulative dividends accrued thereon through the date of redemption (collectively, “Put Price”).
(iv) A Cumulative Preferred Holder may exercise a Put by mailing to the Corporation written notice of exercise of the Put (“Put Notice”), first class postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the proposed redemption date. Such Put Notice shall be accompanied by the certificate or certificates evidencing all the Put Shares, together with executed stock transfer instruments sufficient to effect the transfer of all the Put Shares to the Corporation. Such Put Notice shall specify the number of Put Shares subject to such Put and shall become effective three business days after mailing to the Corporation (accompanied by certificates and appropriate
7
stock transfer instruments) in the manner provided above. Certificates accompanying the Put Notice shall represent Put Shares which are free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every nature and kind whatsoever, except any restrictions imposed by the federal and any applicable state securities laws and except as provided in Section A6 hereof. The closing of the Put shall take place on the date specified by the Cumulative Preferred Holder in its Put Notice, which date shall not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the effective date of the Put Notice. At the closing, the Cumulative Preferred Holder shall receive from the Corporation a wire transfer or certified check in an amount equal to the total Put Price for all Put Shares redeemed thereby.
(v) If a Cumulative Preferred Holder exercises a Put, and if the Corporation shall not have sufficient surplus to permit it to lawfully purchase all of the Put Shares subject to any Put under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation shall purchase all of such Put Shares as soon thereafter as it may lawfully do so.
(vi) In the event that the Corporation shall default in the redemption of the full amount of Put Shares subject to an exercised Put, until such default shall be cured in full (A) no dividends shall be declared, paid or set aside for payment on the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock of the Corporation) or any other capital stock of the Corporation (other than a dividend payable in Class B Common Stock of the Corporation), except the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (B) no other distribution shall be declared, made or set aside for distribution upon the shares of Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation, except the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (C) no shares of Common Stock, or any other capital stock of the Corporation, except the Cumulative Preferred Stock, shall be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration by the Corporation; and (D) cumulative dividends on such unredeemed Put Shares shall continue to accrue through the ultimate redemption date and be added to the Put Price.
(vii) In case less than all of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock represented by any surrendered certificate are not subject to redemption pursuant to the exercise of a Put right, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(viii) All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to the exercise of a Put as hereinabove provided, shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no shares shall be issued in lieu thereof or in exchange therefor.
(b) Optional Redemption By Corporation (“Call”).
(i) At any time or from time to time on and after May 1, 1996, the Corporation shall have the right and option, exercisable by a resolution of its Board of Directors, to redeem the entire amount or any part of the shares of issued and outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock (collectively, “Called Shares”) out of funds legally available
8
therefore, upon not less than 60 days’ written notice (“Call Notice”) to the Cumulative Preferred Holders thereof specifying the date (“Call Date”) and the place for surrender of the certificates evidencing the Called Shares, by paying to each such Cumulative Preferred Holder the following amount for each Called Share (depending upon the Call Date), together with the amount of any unpaid cumulative dividends accrued on the Called Shares through the Call Date (collectively, “Call Price”):
Call Date | | Call Price (plus unpaid dividends) | |
May 1, 1996 - April 30, 1997 | | $ | 10.525 | |
May 1, 1997 - April 30, 1998 | | 10.420 | |
May 1, 1998 - April 30, 1999 | | 10.315 | |
May 1, 1999 - April 30, 2000 | | 10.210 | |
May 1, 2000 - April 30, 2001 | | 10.105 | |
May 1, 2001 and thereafter | | 10.000 | |
| | | | |
(ii) (A) A Call Notice shall be given by the Corporation by mailing to the Cumulative Preferred Holders a written notice of such Call, first class postage prepaid, certified, return receipt requested, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Call Date, at each of such Cumulative Preferred Holders’ last address as shall appear upon the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Any Call Notice which is mailed in the manner provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given three business days after such mailing; and any nonmaterial defect in such Call Notice to any Cumulative Preferred Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the Call of any Called Shares.
(B) The Call Notice to each Cumulative Preferred Holder shall specify (I) the Call Date; (II) the number of Called Shares and, if fewer than all of the then issued and outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be called, the number of such Called Shares to be called from such Cumulative Preferred Holder; (III) the total Call Price per Called Share; and (IV) where payment of the Call Price is to be made by the Corporation upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such Called Shares. The Call Notice shall also state that any unpaid cumulative dividends accrued thereon through the Call Date will be paid as specified therein as part of the Call Price and that from and after the Call Date dividends thereon will cease to accrue.
(C) If any Call Notice shall have been duly given, then from and after the Call Date set forth therein (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of the Call
9
Price), notwithstanding that any certificate for Called Shares shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, all such Called Shares so called shall no longer be deemed outstanding on and after the Call Date, and the right to receive dividends thereon and all other rights (including Put rights) with respect to such Called Shares shall cease and terminate on such Call Date; except only the right of the Cumulative Preferred Holders thereof to receive the Call Price, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such Called Shares.
(iii) If less than all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be called, the particular shares to be called shall be conclusively selected or determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by lot or such other equitable manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall designate and prescribe by resolution.
(iv) In case less than all of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock represented by any surrendered certificate are called, a new certificate shall be issued representing the uncalled shares.
(v) All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock called as hereinabove provided or otherwise shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no shares shall be issued in lieu thereof or in exchange therefor.
4. Liquidation Rights. In the event of a partial or complete liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (hereinafter referred to as “liquidation”), before any assets of the Corporation shall be paid to, set aside for or distributed to holders of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock ranking subordinate to the Cumulative Preferred Stock, each Cumulative Preferred Holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or the proceeds thereof, a preferential payment in an amount equal to the par value for each share of Cumulative Preferred Stock held of record thereby, plus an amount equal to all unpaid cumulative dividends accrued thereon, but without interest. Except as provided herein, the Cumulative Preferred Holders shall not be entitled to participate in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation or otherwise by reason of owning Cumulative Preferred Stock. If the assets distributable upon a liquidation shall be insufficient to permit the distribution to the Cumulative Preferred Holders of the full preferential amounts to which such Cumulative Preferred Holders shall be entitled, then such amounts shall be distributed ratably among the Cumulative Preferred Holders in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be distributed to such Cumulative Preferred Holders if such distribution was made in full. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets or stock, shall be deemed to be a liquidation of the Corporation for purposes of this Section A4.
10
5. Priority Of Cumulative Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not at any time (either directly or through merger or consolidation with another corporation), except with the affirmative vote of the Cumulative Preferred Holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a single and separate class with one vote per share, (i) authorize any class of capital stock ranking equal or prior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock either as to rights on liquidation or redemption, or as to dividends; (ii) amend the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation so as to affect adversely or prejudice the relative rights, preferences or limitations of the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (iii) merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, or otherwise dispose of all, or substantially all, of the property and assets of the Corporation. No vote or consent of the Cumulative Preferred Holders, as a class, shall be required in connection with the authorization of, or the increase of the total number of authorized shares of, the Common Stock or any other class of stock ranking subordinate to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights on liquidation and redemption, and as to dividends.
6. Transfer Rights.
(a) In the event a Cumulative Preferred Holder should decide to sell, pledge, assign, exchange, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer or dispose of in any manner, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (hereinafter collectively referred to as “transfer”), any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, such Cumulative Preferred Holder (hereinafter referred to as a “Transferring Holder”) shall first deliver written notice thereof (“Notice of Transfer”) to the principal business office of the Corporation to the attention of its Secretary. Such Notice of Transfer shall specify (i) the number of shares proposed to be transferred (“Offered Shares”); (ii) the date of the proposed transfer (“Transfer Date”), which Transfer Date shall not be less than 30 days after actual receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Transfer; (iii) the identity, including the complete name, address and telephone number, of the proposed transferee of the Offered Shares (“Proposed Transferee”); and (iv) the proposed consideration to be received and terms of payment for the Offered Shares (collectively, “Offering Price”). The Notice of Transfer shall constitute an offer to transfer all of the Offered Shares to the Corporation and the date of such offer (“Offer Date”) shall be the date of actual receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Transfer. The Notice of Transfer shall be delivered to the Corporation accompanied by the certificate or certificates for the Offered Shares, together with executed stock transfer instruments sufficient to effect the transfer of all of the Offered Shares to the Corporation or the Proposed Transferee, if and when any purchase thereof is effected by the Corporation or by the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section A6, which shall be held in trust for delivery by the Corporation for the account of the Transferring Holder, if and when any purchase thereof is effected by the Corporation or by the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section A6. Such certificates when delivered shall represent Offered Shares which are free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every nature or kind whatsoever (other than the contingent purchase
11
right of the Proposed Transferee and any restrictions imposed by the federal and any applicable state securities laws).
(b)(i) For a period of 30 days after the Offer Date (“Option Period”), the Corporation shall have the option and right to purchase the Offered Shares at the price (“Exercise Price”) equal to the Offering Price.
(ii) In the event the Corporation shall exercise its option and right to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to clause (i) hereof, as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Corporation shall signify such exercise within the Option Period by mailing to the Transferring Holder a written notice of such exercise (“Notice of Exercise”), first class postage prepaid to the Transferring Holder’s last address as shall appear upon the stock transfer records of the Corporation. The Notice of Exercise shall specify that (A) the Corporation is exercising its option and right to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to clause (i) hereof; (B) the total Exercise Price for all of the Offered Shares being purchased by the Corporation; and (C) a business day and hour within 15 days after the date of mailing the Notice of Exercise for the closing of the purchase (“Purchase Date”). Any Notice of Exercise which is mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given when mailed.
(iii) If the Corporation does not duly give the Notice of Exercise within the Option Period, the offer to the Corporation shall thereupon lapse and the Transferring Holder may transfer the Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee within a period of 30 days thereafter without restriction, but only in strict compliance with the terms of transfer set forth in the Notice of Transfer, including, without limitation, the Offering Price. In the event the proposed transfer of the Offered Shares to the Proposed Transferee is not consummated within such 30 day period in accordance with the provisions of this clause (iii), the restrictions of this Section A6 shall again apply. The Offered Shares so transferred to the Proposed Transferee, and the Proposed Transferee upon such transfer, shall continue to be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Article V, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section A6.
(c) All certificates for shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall bear an appropriate legend thereon reflecting the restrictions on the transfer of such shares otherwise than pursuant to the provisions of this Section A6.
(d)(i) In the event a proposed transfer of the Offered Shares to a Proposed Transferee or the Corporation shall not be consummated for whatever reason whatsoever, the holder thereof, and the Offered Shares not transferred, shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Section A6.
(ii) Notwithstanding the transfer of any Offered Shares pursuant to this Section A6, the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock not transferred to the Proposed
12
Transferee or the Corporation shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Section A6.
(iii) The provisions of this Section A6 shall apply to any and all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock acquired by a Cumulative Preferred Holder, whether by purchase, stock dividend, stock split or otherwise.
(e) In the event a Cumulative Preferred Holder shall attempt to transfer such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock without complying with the provisions of this Section A6, including, without limitation, any transfer by operation of law, or otherwise fails to comply with such Cumulative Preferred Holder’s respective obligations hereunder, the Corporation shall have the right and option to cancel all of the certificates evidencing the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock attempted to be transferred and to reissue stock certificates representing such shares in the name of the Corporation upon the payment to the Cumulative Preferred Holder thereof of the aggregate par value for such shares; and the Cumulative Preferred Holder thereof shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless from and against all costs, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses as a result of such attempted transfer.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section A6 to the contrary, any transfer of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock by a Cumulative Preferred Holder may be made only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state blue sky statutes, or exemptions therefrom.
B. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, subject to the provisions contained in this Article V, to issue the Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series, which Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Common Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets of the Corporation on dissolution, as hereinafter provided, and shall have such distinctive designations as may be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors. In such resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of a particular series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized and empowered to fix the number of shares constituting such series and to fix the relative rights and preferences of the shares of the series so established to the full extent allowable by law except insofar as such rights and preferences are fixed herein. Such authorization in the Board of Directors shall expressly include the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of such shares in all respects including, without limitation, the following:
1. the rate of dividend;
2. whether shares can be redeemed or called and, if so, the redemption or call price and terms and conditions of redemption or call;
13
3. the amount payable upon shares in the event of dissolution, voluntary and involuntary liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;
4. purchase, retirement or sinking fund provisions, if any, for the call, redemption or purchase of shares;
5. the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares may be converted into Common Stock or any other securities;
6. whether or not shares have voting rights, and the extent of such voting rights, if any; and
7. whether shares shall be cumulative, noncumulative, or partially cumulative as to dividends and the date from which any cumulative dividends are to accumulate.
