ARTICLE SIX The Corporation is to have perpetual existence. ARTICLE SEVEN The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. ARTICLE EIGHT No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such person as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article Eight shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment. ARTICLE NINE Section 1. Nature of Indemnity. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he (or a person of which he is the legal representative) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such Indemnification shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in - 2 -

Section 2 of this Article Nine, the Corporation shall not indemnify any such person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person unless such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. Section 2. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation under Section 1 of this Article Nine or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article Nine shall be made promptly and, in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the director of officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article Nine is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article Nine shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to Indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior 10 the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because such person met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (Including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Section 3. Nonexclusivity of Article Nine. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred In this Article Nine shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 4. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or was serving at the request of the - 3 -

Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and Incurred by such person In any such capacity, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article Nine. Sections 5. Expenses. Unless the Board of Directors shall have determined that a person described in Section 1 of this Article Nine has failed to meet the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification under the Delaware General Corporation Law, expenses Incurred by such person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. Section 6. Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article Nine and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors. Section 7. Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article Nine shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article Nine and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article Nine or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. Section 8. Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article Nine, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article Nine with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. - 4 -

ARTICLE TEN The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provisions contained in this Certificate of Incorporation from time to time and at any time in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights conferred upon stockholders and directors are granted subject to such reservation. ARTICLE ELEVEN The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Corporation’s Bylaws, except as may be otherwise be provided in the Bylaws. I, the undersigned, being the sole incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation in pursuance of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, do make and file this Certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly have hereunto sat by hand this 30th day of May 1996.

If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities. c. Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (i) (A) With respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, if at any time or from time to time after July 12, 1996 (the “Series E Purchase Date”) this corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this subsection 3(c)(i) to have issued or sold, any Additional Stock (as defined below) for consideration per share which is less than both the fair market value of such Additional Stock as of the date of issuance and the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then in each such case, the then existing Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall be forthwith reduced to the per share price received or deemed received by this corporation upon such issuance or sale, or deemed issuance or sale, of such Additional Stock. Any adjustment to the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and/or Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to me preceding sentence shall be effective as of the opening of business on the date of the issuance or sale, or deemed issuance or sale, of such Additional Stock by this corporation. Whenever this corporation issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, any Additional Stock, the per share fair market value of the Additional Stock as of the date of such issuance or sale, or deemed issuance or sale, shall be determined in good faith by a majority of the disinterested directors on this corporation’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that in the event any issuance or sale, or deemed issuance or sale, of Additional Stock represents fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Common Stock outstanding immediately following such 16677 v2/BD CV9021.DOC 071196 7.

actual or deemed issuance or sale, then the per share fair market value of such Additional Stock shall be determined by an independent third party appraiser to be mutually selected by a majority of disinterested directors and the Investor Representatives (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement). (B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to this subsection 3(c)(i) shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to 3 years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of 3 years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 3(c)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. (C) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. (D) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment. (E) Solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of any adjustment which is required, in the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (which are not excluded from the definition of Additional Stock), the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this subsection 3(c)(i) and subsection 3(c)(ii): (1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections 3(c)(i)(C) and (c)(i)(D)), if any, received by the corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby. (2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or 16677 v2/BD CV9021.DOC 071196 8.

exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 3(c)(i)(C) and (c)(i)(D)). (3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the applicable Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities. (4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the applicable Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities which remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities. (5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections 3(c)(i)(E)(l) and (2) shall be approximately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection 3(c)(i)(E)(3) or (4). (ii) “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 3(c)(i)(E)) by this corporation after the Series E Purchase Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued or issuable: (a) upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock; 16677 v2/BD CV9021.DOC 071196 9.

(b) pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 3(c)(iii) or (iv) hereof; (c) to employees, consultants, officers or directors of this corporation pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock option plan or other stock or employee incentive plan approved by a majority of the Investor Representatives (as defined below); provided that the total number of shares of Common Stock so issuable or issued (and not repurchased at cost by this corporation in connection with termination of employment) does not exceed the number of Permitted Options (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (as adjusted for any stock splits); (d) pursuant to a merger or acquisition approved by a majority of the Investor Representatives. (iii) In the event the corporation should at any time or from time to time after the Series E Purchase Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents with the number of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in subsection 3(c)(i)(E). (iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Series E Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the applicable Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares. d. Other Distributions. In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 3(c)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 16677 v2/BD CV9021.DOC 071196 10.

(3)(d), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the corporation entitled to receive such distribution. e. Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C .Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. f. No Impairment. This corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock against impairment. g.

STATE OF DELAWARE SECRETARY OF STATE DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS FILED 12:00 PM 05/20/1998 981193793 - 2629180 CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK OF WILD OATS MARKETS, INC. Pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the undersigned authorized officer of Wild Oats Markets, Inc., certifies that the Board of Directors of Wild Oats Markets, Inc., adopted the following resolution at a meeting duly called and held on May 4, 1998: “BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted by the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby creates and authorizes the issuance of a series of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share of the Corporation, and hereby fixes the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows: Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series (the “Series A Stock”) shall be designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 20,000. Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the Series A Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for such purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September, and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) the product of the Adjustment Number (defined below) multiplied by the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number multiplied by the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of common stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of common stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Stock. As used herein, the “Adjustment Number” shall initially be 100, but if the Corporation at any time after May 4, 1998 (the “Declaration Date”) (i) declares any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combines the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment

Number immediately after such event shall equal the Adjustment Number immediately before such event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before such event. (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, if the total dividends declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date is less than $.01 per share, a dividend equal $1.00 per share on the Series A Stock, minus an amount per share equal to the dividends already paid on the Series A Stock during such period, shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the Series A Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of the Series A Stock shall have the following voting rights: (A) Each share of Series A Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. (B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of Series A Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. (C) If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors a default in preference dividends on the shares of the Series A Stock shall exist, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by two, and the holders of Series A Stock (whether or not the holders of the Series A Stock would be entitled to vote for the election of Directors if such default in preference dividends did not exist), shall have the right at such meeting, 2

voting together as a single class, to the exclusion of the holders of Common Stock, to elect two directors of the Company to fill such newly created directorships. Such right shall continue until there are no dividends in arrears upon the Series A Stock. Each director elected by the holders of shares of Series A Stock (herein called a “Preferred Director’’) shall continue to serve as such director for the full term for which he shall have been elected, notwithstanding that prior to the end of such term a default in preference dividends shall cease to exist. Any Preferred Director may be removed by, and shall not be removed except by, the vote of the holders of record of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, voting together as a single class, at a meeting of the stockholders, or of the holders of shares of Series A Stock, called for that purpose. So long as a default in any preference dividends on the Series A Stock shall exist, (i) any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled (except as provided in the following clause (ii)) by an instrument in writing signed by the remaining Preferred Director and filed with the corporation and (ii) in the case of the removal of any Preferred Director, the vacancy may be filled by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, voting together as a single class, at the same meeting at which such removal shall be voted. Bach director appointed as aforesaid by the remaining Preferred Director shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof, to be a Preferred Director. Whenever the term of office of the Preferred Directors shall end and a default in preference dividends shall no longer exist, the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be reduced by two. FOR the purposes hereof, a “default in preference dividends on the Series A Stock” shall be deemed to have occurred whenever the amount of accrued dividends upon the Series A Stock shall be equivalent to six full quarter-yearly dividends or more, and, having so occurred such default shall be deemed to exist thereafter until, but only until, all accrued dividends on all shares of Series A Stock shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for payment, to the end of the last preceding quarterly dividend. (D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. Section 4. Certain Restrictions. (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Stock outstanding have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Stock; (ii) declare or pay dividends or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; 3

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Stock; (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Stock except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. Section 5. Re-acquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner shall be retired and canceled promptly after such acquisition. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series A Stock have received, for each such share, a number of dollars equal to the Adjustment Number, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of Series A Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) the Adjustment Number. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Stock and holders of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed to them in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively. 4

(B) If there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in fall of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series A Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. If thereafter there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock (subject to the rights of any Preferred Stock other than the Series A Stock). Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. If the Corporation enters into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then In each such case the Series A Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number multiplied by the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. Section 8. No Redemption. The Series A Stock shall not be redeemable. Section 9. Ranking. The Series A Stock shall rank junior to all other series of tie Corporation’s Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series provide otherwise. Section 10. Amendment. Whenever any Series A Stock is outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner that would materially adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Stock without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock, voting separately as a class. Section 11. Fractional Shares. Series A Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Stock.
