Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the | ||
requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the | ||
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents | ||
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact | ||
required to be stated therein or necessary to make such statements, in the light of | ||
the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. | ||
Since November 30, 2006, the Company and each subsidiary have filed all | ||
material reports, registrations and statements, together with any required |
- 8 -
amendments thereto, that it was required to file with any applicable federal or | ||
state securities or banking authorities, except where the failure to file any such | ||
report, registration or statement, individually or in the aggregate, could not | ||
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of their respective | ||
dates, each of the foregoing reports complied with all applicable rules and | ||
regulations promulgated by applicable foreign, federal or state securities or | ||
banking authorities, as the case may be, except for any failure that, individually or | ||
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse | ||
Effect. | ||
The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and its | ||
subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including | ||
any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) | ||
that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the Company or the | ||
subsidiaries or their accountants (including all means of access thereto and | ||
therefrom). The Company (i) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls | ||
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) to ensure | ||
that material information relating to the Company, including its subsidiaries, is | ||
made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the | ||
Company by others within those entities, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most | ||
recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s outside auditors and | ||
the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (A) any significant | ||
deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal | ||
controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange | ||
Act) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to | ||
adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report | ||
financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves | ||
management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s | ||
internal controls over financial reporting. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge | ||
�� | of the Company, there is no reason that its outside auditors and its chief executive | |
officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and | ||
attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to | ||
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, without qualification, when next | ||
due. | ||
4.13. | Taxes. As of the Closing, the Company is not, nor has been, a U.S. real property | |

Company in the event of a 100% default, assuming zero recovery, over a period | ||
of time. | ||
4.15. | As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, | |
circumstance, event, change, effect or occurrence that, individually or in the |
- 9 -
aggregate with all other facts, circumstances, events, changes, effects or | ||||||
occurrences, has a material adverse effect on (i) the business, assets, liabilities, | ||||||
results of operation or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries | ||||||
taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions | ||||||
contemplated by this Agreement, other than, in each case, any adverse effect | ||||||
resulting from the announcement of the transactions contemplated by this | ||||||
Agreement. | ||||||

represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: | ||||||

to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by | ||||||
Rule 144 thereunder (if available), (iii) pursuant to an effective | ||||||
registration statement under the Securities Act, or (iv) to the Company or | ||||||
one of its subsidiaries, in each of cases (i) through (iv) in accordance with | ||||||
any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States, and that it | ||||||
will, and each subsequent holder is required to, notify any subsequent | ||||||
purchaser of Securities from it of the resale restrictions referred to above, | ||||||
as applicable, and will provide the Company and the transfer agent such | ||||||
certificates and other information as they may reasonably require to | ||||||
confirm that the transfer by it complies with the foregoing restrictions, if | ||||||
applicable. | ||||||
(3) | It understands that, unless sold pursuant to a registration statement that has | |||||
been declared effective under the Securities Act or in compliance with | ||||||
Rule 144, the Company may require that the Securities will bear a legend | ||||||

EXHIBIT A
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
OF THE
10% SERIES B NON-CUMULATIVE NON-VOTING PERPETUAL
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
($1,000 LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE PER SHARE)
OF
MORGAN STANLEY
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
MORGAN STANLEY, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), DOES | ||
HEREBY CERTIFY that, pursuant to resolutions of the Preferred Stock Financing Committee of | ||
the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted on September 28, 2008, the creation of Series | ||
B Non-Cumulative Non-Voting Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, | ||
liquidation preference $1,000 per share (“Series B”) of the Corporation was authorized and the | ||
designation, preferences, privileges, voting rights, and other special rights and qualifications, | ||
limitations and restrictions of the Series B, in addition to those set forth in the Certificate of | ||
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation, are fixed as follows: | ||
1. | Designation. The distinctive serial designation of such series of preferred | |
stock is “Series B Non-Cumulative Non-Voting Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock.” Each | ||
share of Series B shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series B, except as to | ||
the respective dates from which dividends thereon shall accrue, to the extent such dates may | ||
differ as permitted pursuant to Section 3 below. | ||
2. | Number of Shares.The authorized number of shares of Series B shall be | |
[l]. Shares of Series B that are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, or | ||
converted into Common Stock or another series of Preferred Stock, shall be cancelled and shall | ||
revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock provided that this Section 2 shall not | ||
apply to any purchase or other acquisition of shares of Series B by any Subsidiary of the | ||
Corporation. | ||
3. | Dividends. | |
(a) | Rate.Holders of shares of Series B shall be entitled to receive, only when, | |
as and if declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof out of funds | ||
of the Corporation legally available for payment, non-cumulative cash dividends on the | ||
liquidation preference of $1,000 per share at a rate per annum equal to 10%. Declared dividends | ||
on the Series B shall be payable from and including the date of initial issuance (in the case of the | ||
initial Dividend Period) or the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date (in the case of |
Dividend Periods other than the initial Dividend Period), and shall be payable quarterly, in | ||
arrears, on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, commencing on January 15, 2009 | ||
(each such date a “Dividend Payment Date”). If any date on which dividends would otherwise | ||
be payable shall not be a Business Day (as defined below), then the date of payment of dividends | ||
need not be made on such date, but such payment of dividends may be made on the next | ||
succeeding day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Dividend | ||
Payment Date, and no additional dividends shall be payable nor shall interest accrue on the | ||
amount payable from and after such Dividend Payment Date to the next succeeding Business | ||
Day. “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in New York | ||
City, is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or | ||
executive order to be closed. | ||
Dividends on the Series B shall not be cumulative; Holders of Series B shall not | ||
be entitled to receive any dividends not declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized | ||
committee thereof and no interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect | ||
of any dividend not so declared. Accordingly, if the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized | ||
committee thereof) does not declare a dividend on the Series B payable in respect of any | ||
Dividend Period before the related Dividend Payment Date, such dividend will not accrue and | ||
the Corporation will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that Dividend Period on that | ||
Dividend Payment Date or at any future time, whether or not dividends on the Series B are | ||
declared for any future Dividend Period. Declared and unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. | ||
Dividends that are payable on the Series B on any Dividend Payment Date will be | ||
payable to holders of record of Series B as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation | ||
on the applicable Dividend Record Date, which shall be the 15thcalendar day before such | ||
Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors or a duly | ||
authorized committee of the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days | ||
prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a | ||
Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business | ||
Day. | ||
The term “Dividend Period” means the period from and including each Dividend | ||
Payment Date to but excluding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date (other than the | ||
initial Dividend Period, which shall commence on and include the date of initial issuance of the | ||
Series B and shall end on but exclude the next Dividend Payment Date). Dividends payable on | ||
the Series B shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day | ||
months. | ||
(b) | Priority of Dividends. The Series B will rank (i) senior to the Common | |
Stock (as defined below) and any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock expressly | ||
stated to be junior to the Series B, (ii) junior to any class or series of the Corporation’s capital | ||
stock expressly stated to be senior to the Series B (issued with the requisite consent of the | ||
Holders of the Series B, if required) and (iii) at least equally with each other class or series of | ||
Preferred Stock (as defined below) that the Corporation may issue with respect to the payment of | ||
dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the |
-2-
Corporation. So long as any share of Series B remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution | ||
shall be paid or declared on Junior Stock, and no Junior Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or | ||
otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly, during a Dividend | ||
Period, unless the full dividend for the latest completed Dividend Period on all outstanding | ||
shares of Series B has been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment | ||
thereof has been set aside). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) repurchases, | ||
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of Junior Stock in connection with (1) any | ||
employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one | ||
or more employees, officers, directors or consultants or (2) a dividend reinvestment or | ||
stockholder stock purchase plan; (ii) an exchange, redemption, reclassification or conversion of | ||
any class or series of Junior Stock, or any junior stock of a Subsidiary of the Corporation, for any | ||
class or series of Junior Stock; (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Junior Stock | ||
under the conversion or exchange provisions of Junior Stock or the security being converted or | ||
exchanged; (iv) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any stockholders’ rights plan, | ||
or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any stockholders’ rights plan, or the | ||
redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to the plan; or (v) any dividend in the form of stock, | ||
warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of | ||
such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being | ||
paid or ranks equal or junior to that stock. In addition, the foregoing limitation shall not restrict | ||
the ability of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, or any other affiliate of the Corporation, to | ||
engage in any market-making transactions in Junior Stock in the ordinary course of business. | ||
When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment | ||
thereof set aside) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend | ||
payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling | ||
within a related Dividend Period) in full upon the Series B and any shares of Parity Stock, all | ||
dividends declared on the Series B and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend | ||
Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the | ||
Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the related Dividend Period) | ||
shall be declaredpro rataso that the respective amounts of such dividends shall bear the same | ||
ratio to each other as all accrued but unpaid dividends per share on the Series B and all Parity | ||
Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend | ||
payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling | ||
within the related Dividend Period) bear to each other. | ||
Subject to the foregoing, dividends (payable in cash, securities or other property) | ||
may be determined by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of | ||
Directors and may be declared and paid on the Common Stock and any other stock ranking, as to | ||
dividends, equally with or junior to the Series B, from time to time out of any funds legally | ||
available for such payment, and the Series B shall not be entitled to participate in any such | ||
dividends. | ||
4. | Liquidation Rights. |
-3-
(a) | Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation.In the event of any voluntary or | |
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, Holders of | ||
Series B shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof | ||
available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, after satisfaction of all liabilities, if | ||
any, to creditors of the Corporation and subject to the rights of holders of any shares of capital | ||
stock of the Corporation then outstanding ranking senior to orpari passuwith the Series B in | ||
respect of distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and | ||
before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of | ||
Common Stock and any other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior | ||
to the Series B as to such distribution, a liquidating distribution in an amount equal to $1,000 per | ||
share, together with an amount equal to all dividends, if any, that have been declared but not paid | ||
prior to the date of payment of such distribution (but without any accumulation in respect of | ||
dividends that have not been declared prior to such payment date). Holders of the Series B will | ||
not be entitled to any other amounts from the Corporation after they have received their full | ||
liquidation preference. | ||
(b) | Partial Payment.If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above | |
the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay the Liquidation | ||
Preference (as defined below) in full to all Holders of Series B and all holders of any stock of the | ||
Corporation ranking equally with the Series B as to such distribution, the amounts paid to the | ||
Holders of Series B and to the holders of all such other stock shall be paidpro ratain accordance | ||
with the respective aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Holders of Series B and the holders | ||
of all such other stock. In any such distribution, the “Liquidation Preference” of any holder of | ||
stock of the Corporation shall mean the amount otherwise payable to such holder in such | ||
distribution (assuming no limitation on the assets of the Corporation available for such | ||
distribution), including an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends (and, in the case of | ||
any holder of stock other than Series B and on which dividends accrue on a cumulative basis, an | ||
amount equal to any unpaid, accrued, cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, as | ||
applicable). Holders of the Series B will not be entitled to any other amounts from the | ||
Corporation after they have received the full amounts provided for in this Section 4 and will have | ||
no right or claim to any of the Corporation’s remaining assets. | ||
(c) | Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference on the Series B and | |
any other shares of the Corporation’s stock ranking equally as to such liquidation distribution has | ||
been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive all | ||
remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and | ||
preferences. | ||
(d) | Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation.For | |
purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other | ||
corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the Holders of Series B | ||
receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, | ||
securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not | ||
constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. |
-4-
5. | Voting Rights. | |
(a) | General.The Holders of Series B shall not have any voting rights except | |
as set forth below and as determined by the Board of Directors or an authorized committee | ||
thereof or as otherwise from time to time required by law. | ||
(b) | Right to Elect Two Directors Upon Nonpayment Events. If and | |
whenever dividends on any shares of the Series B, or any other Voting Preferred Stock, shall | ||
have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more Dividend Periods, whether or | ||
not for consecutive Dividend Periods (a “Nonpayment”), the holders of such shares, voting | ||
together as a class with holders of any and all other series of Voting Preferred Stock then | ||
outstanding, will be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the | ||
Board of Directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”);providedthat the election of any such | ||
directors shall not cause the Corporation to violate the corporate governance requirements of the | ||
New York Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may be | ||
listed) that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors; andprovided further | ||
that the Board of Directors shall at no time include more than two Preferred Stock Directors. In | ||
that event, the number of directors on the Board of Directors shall automatically increase by two, | ||
and the new directors shall be elected at a special meeting called at the request of the holders of | ||
record of at least 20% of the Series B or of any other series of Voting Preferred Stock (unless | ||
such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special | ||
meeting of the stockholders, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or | ||
special meeting of stockholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting. Such request to call a | ||
special meeting for the initial election of the Preferred Stock Directors after a Nonpayment shall | ||
be made by written notice, signed by the requisite holders of Series B or other Voting Preferred | ||
Stock, and delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation in such manner as provided for in | ||
Section 16 below, or as may otherwise be required by law. The voting rights will continue until | ||
dividends on the shares of the Series B and any such series of Voting Preferred Stock shall have | ||
been fully paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of such dividends shall have | ||
been set aside for such payment) for at least four regular dividend periods following the | ||
Nonpayment. | ||
If and when dividends for at least four regular dividend periods following a | ||
Nonpayment have been fully paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for such payment shall have | ||
been set aside) on the Series B and any other class or series of Voting Preferred Stock, the | ||
holders of the Series B and all other holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall be divested of the | ||
foregoing voting rights (subject to revesting in the event of each subsequent Nonpayment), the | ||
term of office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate and the number of | ||
directors on the Board of Directors shall automatically decrease by two. In determining whether | ||
dividends have been paid for at least four regular dividend periods following a Nonpayment, the | ||
Corporation may take account of any dividend it elects to pay for any dividend period after the | ||
regular dividend date for that period has passed. | ||
Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time without cause by the | ||
holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series B together with all series |
-5-
of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class) to the extent such | ||||
holders have the voting rights described above. So long as a Nonpayment shall continue, any | ||||
vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director (other than prior to the initial election after a | ||||
Nonpayment) may be filled by the written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in | ||||
office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the | ||||
outstanding shares of Series B and all Voting Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights | ||||
described above (voting together as a single class);providedthat the filling of each vacancy shall | ||||
not cause the Corporation to violate the corporate governance requirements of the New York | ||||
Stock Exchange (or any other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed) that | ||||
listed companies must have a majority of independent directors. Any such vote to remove, or to | ||||
fill a vacancy in the office of, a Preferred Stock Director may be taken only at a special meeting | ||||
called at the request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the Series B or of any other series | ||||
of Voting Preferred Stock (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed | ||||
for the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders, in which event such election shall be | ||||
held at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders). The Preferred Stock Directors shall | ||||
each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter. | ||||
The term “Voting Preferred Stock” means any other class or series of Preferred | ||||
Stock of the Corporation ranking equally with the Series B as to payment of dividends and the | ||||
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and upon | ||||
which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. Voting Preferred Stock | ||||
includes the Corporation’s Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series | ||||
A”), if outstanding, and any class or series of Preferred Stock, whether or not cumulative, that the | ||||
Corporation may issue in the future, to the extent their like voting rights are exercisable at such | ||||
time. Whether a plurality, majority or other portion of the shares of Series B and any other | ||||
Voting Preferred Stock have been voted in favor of any matter shall be determined by reference | ||||
to the relative liquidation preferences of the shares voted. | ||||
(c) | Other Voting Rights. So long as any shares of Series B are outstanding, | |||
in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Certificate of | ||||
Incorporation, the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Series B | ||||
and any Voting Preferred Stock at the time outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, voting | ||||
together as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by | ||||
vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: | ||||
(i) | Authorization of Senior Stock. Any amendment or alteration of | |||
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of | ||||
Designations to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any | ||||
shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the | ||||
Series B with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets | ||||
upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; | ||||
(ii) | Amendment of Series B. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of | |||
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of | ||||
Designations, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to materially |
-6-
and adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers | ||||
of the Series B, taken as a whole; or | ||||
(iii) | Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and | |||
Consolidations. Any consummation of a binding share exchange or | ||||
reclassification involving the Series B, or of a merger or consolidation of the | ||||
Corporation with another entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Series B | ||||
remain outstanding or are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of | ||||
the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares | ||||
remaining outstanding as securities of the Corporation or such other entity as | ||||
permitted by clause (x) or such preference securities, as the case may be, have | ||||
such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and | ||||
restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the | ||||
holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the | ||||
Series B, taken as a whole; | ||||
provided,however, that for all purposes of this Section 5(c), neither the issuance of any Series B | ||||
in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below) as in | ||||
effect on the date hereof nor the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued | ||||
amount, of any other class or series of Preferred Stock ranking equally with the Series B with | ||||
respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) | ||||
and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation will | ||||
be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of, and neither | ||||
will require the affirmative vote or consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of Series B. In | ||||
addition, any conversion of the Series B pursuant hereto shall not be deemed to adversely affect | ||||
the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series B. For purposes of | ||||
clarification, no Holder of Series B shall have any voting rights with respect to any binding share | ||||
exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation which complies with the provisions of clause | ||||
(iii)(x) and (y) hereof. | ||||
If any amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or | ||||
consolidation specified in this Section 5(c) for which a vote is otherwise required would | ||||
adversely affect one or more but not all other series of Voting Preferred Stock (including the | ||||
Series B for this purpose), then only such series of Preferred Stock as are adversely affected by | ||||
and otherwise entitled to vote on the matter shall vote on the matter together as a class in lieu of | ||||
all other series of Preferred Stock. If all series of a class of Preferred Stock that are otherwise | ||||
entitled to vote on the matter are not equally affected by the proposed amendment, alteration, | ||||
repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation described above, there shall be | ||||
required a two-thirds approval of the class and a two-thirds approval of each series that will have | ||||
a diminished status and that is otherwise entitled to vote thereon. | ||||
(d) | Changes for Clarification. Without the consent of the holders of the | |||
Series B, so long as such action does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges and | ||||
voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series B, the Corporation may | ||||
amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Series B: |
-7-
(i) | to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct or supplement any | |||
provision contained in this Certificate of Designations that may be defective or | ||||
inconsistent; or | ||||
(ii) | to make any provision with respect to matters or questions arising | |||
with respect to the Series B that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this | ||||
Certificate of Designations. | ||||
(e) | Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for | |||
calling and conducting any meeting of the holders of Series B (including, without limitation, the | ||||
fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a | ||||
meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a | ||||
meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors or a duly | ||||
authorized committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, | ||||
which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, | ||||
the Bylaws, applicable law and any national securities exchange or other trading facility on | ||||
which the Series B is listed or traded at the time. Whether the vote or consent of the holders of a | ||||
plurality, majority or other portion of the shares of Series B and any Voting Preferred Stock has | ||||
been cast or given on any matter on which the holders of shares of Series B are entitled to vote | ||||
shall be determined by the Corporation by reference to the specified liquidation amounts of the | ||||
shares voted or covered by the consent. | ||||
6. | Redemption.The shares of Series B shall not be redeemable. | |||
7. | Rank.Any stock of any class or classes or series of the Corporation shall | |||
be deemed to rank: | ||||
(a) | prior to shares of the Series B, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, | |||
dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes or series shall | ||||
be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon | ||||
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the | ||||
Holders of shares of the Series B; | ||||
(b) | on a parity with shares of the Series B, either as to dividends or upon | |||
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend | ||||
payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of | ||||
the Series B, if the holders of stock of such class or classes or series shall be entitled by the terms | ||||
thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or | ||||
winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation | ||||
prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock | ||||
and the Holders of shares of Series B (the term “Parity Preferred Stock” being used to refer to | ||||
any stock on a parity with the shares of Series B, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, | ||||
dissolution or winding up, or both, as the content may require); and | ||||
(c) | junior to shares of the Series B, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, | |||
dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class or classes or series shall be common stock or if |
-8-
the Holders of the Series B shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts | ||
distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or | ||
priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes or series. | ||

winding up, on a parity with the Series A and any Parity Preferred Stock issued hereafter. | ||

10. | Conversion. | |||
(a) | Mandatory Conversion on Mandatory Conversion Date. | |||
(i) | On the Partial Mandatory Conversion Date, one half of the | |||
outstanding shares of Series B held by each Holder thereof will mandatorily convert into shares | ||||
of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate;providedthat to the extent such | ||||
conversion would result in the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the | ||||

Common Stock beneficially owned by the Initial Holder and its affiliates equal the Ownership | ||||
Limit; andprovided further, that to the extent that there are Excess Shares and shares of | ||||
Common Stock are issued upon settlement of the equity units sold pursuant to the Securities | ||||
Purchase Agreement after the Partial Mandatory Conversion Date and prior to the Full | ||||
Mandatory Conversion Date, outstanding shares of Series B held by the Initial Holder will | ||||
mandatorily convert into shares of Common Stock (but not greater than the number of Excess | ||||
Shares) at the then applicable Conversion Rate provided that the number of shares of Series B of | ||||
the Initial Holder so converted shall be limited to the number of shares of Series B such that after | ||||

upon mandatory conversion of Series B will be treated as the record Holder(s) of such shares of | ||||
Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Partial Mandatory Conversion Date. Except | ||||
as provided under Section 11(a)(xv), prior to the Close of Business on the Partial Mandatory | ||||
Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B will not |
-14-
be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose and Holders shall have no rights with respect to | ||||||
such shares of Common Stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers and | ||||||
rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding | ||||||
the Series B. | ||||||
(ii) | On the Full Mandatory Conversion Date, all of the outstanding | |||||
shares of Series B will mandatorily convert into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable | ||||||
Conversion Rate. No action shall be required by the Holder thereof. The person or persons | ||||||
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon mandatory conversion of Series B | ||||||
will be treated as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of | ||||||
Business on the Full Mandatory Conversion Date. Except as provided under Section 11(a)(xv), | ||||||
prior to the Close of Business on the Full Mandatory Conversion Date, the shares of Common | ||||||
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B will not be deemed to be outstanding for any | ||||||
purpose and Holders shall have no rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock, | ||||||
including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers and rights to receive any dividends or | ||||||
other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding the Series B. | ||||||
(iii) | In addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable | |||||
pursuant to this Section 10(a), if applicable, the Holders on a Mandatory Conversion Date shall | ||||||
have the right to receive an amount equal to any declared and unpaid dividends on the Series B | ||||||
for the most recent Dividend Period ending on a Mandatory Conversion Date to the extent such | ||||||
Holders were the Holders of record as of the Dividend Record Date for such dividend. | ||||||
(b) | Conversion Procedures for a Non-Mandatory Conversion Date.To effect | |||||
conversion on a Non-Mandatory Conversion Date, a Holder who: | ||||||
(i) | holds a beneficial interest in a global certificate representing the | |||||
Series B must deliver to DTC the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to DTC’s | ||||||
conversion program and, if required, pay funds equal to the dividend payable on the next | ||||||
Dividend Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled by virtue of Section 10(e) and, if | ||||||
required, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any; or | ||||||
(ii) | holds shares of Series B in certificated form must: | |||||
(A) | complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the | |||||
back of the Series B certificate or a facsimile of the conversion notice; | ||||||
(B) | deliver the completed conversion notice and the certificated | |||||
shares of Series B to be converted to the Conversion Agent; | ||||||
(C) | if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer | |||||
documents; | ||||||
(D) | if required, pay funds equal to the dividend payable on the | |||||
next Dividend Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled by virtue of | ||||||
Section 10(e); and |
-15-
(E) | if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any. | |||
The conversion will be effective on the date on which a Holder has satisfied all of | ||||
the foregoing requirements, to the extent applicable, which shall be the applicable Non- | ||||
Mandatory Conversion Date. A Holder will not be required to pay any transfer or similar taxes | ||||
or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Common Stock if such Holder exercises its | ||||
conversion rights, but such Holder will be required to pay any transfer or similar tax or duty that | ||||
may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Common Stock in | ||||
a name other than the name of such Holder. A certificate representing Common Stock will be | ||||
issued and delivered only after all applicable taxes and duties, if any, payable by the Holder have | ||||
been paid in full. | ||||
The person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon | ||||
conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder(s) of such shares of Common | ||||
Stock as of the Close of Business on the applicable Non-Mandatory Conversion Date. No | ||||
allowance or adjustment, except as set forth in Section 11(a), shall be made in respect of | ||||
dividends payable to Holders of Common Stock of record as of any date prior to such applicable | ||||
Non-Mandatory Conversion Date. Prior to such applicable Non-Mandatory Conversion Date, | ||||
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series B shall not be deemed | ||||
outstanding for any purpose, and Holders shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock | ||||
(including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock and rights to | ||||
receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock) by virtue of holding shares of | ||||
Series B. | ||||
In the event that a conversion is effected with respect to shares of Series B | ||||
representing fewer than all the shares of Series B held by a Holder, upon such conversion the | ||||
Corporation shall execute and the Registrar shall countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, at | ||||
the expense of the Corporation, a certificate evidencing the shares of Series B as to which | ||||
conversion was not effected. | ||||
The Corporation shall deliver the shares of Common Stock to which the Holder | ||||
converting pursuant to Section 9(a) is entitled on or prior to the third Trading Day immediately | ||||
following the applicable Non-Mandatory Conversion Date. | ||||
(c) | Conversion Upon Make-Whole Acquisition. | |||
(i) | In the event of a Make-Whole Acquisition, each Holder shall have the | |||
option to convert its shares of Series B (a “Make-Whole Acquisition Conversion”) at the | ||||
then applicable Conversion Rate during the period (the “Make-Whole Acquisition | ||||
Conversion Period”) beginning on the effective date of the Make-Whole Acquisition (the | ||||
“Make-Whole Acquisition Effective Date”) and ending on the date that is 30 days after the | ||||
Make-Whole Acquisition Effective Date and receive an additional number of shares of | ||||
Common Stock in the form of Make-Whole Shares as set forth in this Section 10(c). The | ||||
date of such Make-Whole Acquisition Conversion is referred to herein as the “Make- | ||||
Whole Acquisition Conversion Date.” |
-16-
(ii) | The number of “Make-Whole Shares” shall be determined for the Series B | |
by reference to the table below for the applicable Make-Whole Acquisition Effective | ||
Date and the applicable Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Price: |

(A) | The exact Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Prices and Effective | |||
Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case: | ||||
(1) | if the Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Price is between two | |||
Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Price amounts in the table or the Make- | ||||
Whole Acquisition Effective Date is between two dates in the table, the | ||||
number of Make-Whole Shares will be determined by straight-line | ||||
interpolation between the number of Make-Whole Shares set forth for the | ||||
higher and lower Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Price amounts and the | ||||
two Make-Whole Acquisition Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a | ||||
365-day year; | ||||
(2) | if the Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Price is in excess of | |||
$100.00 per share (subject to adjustment pursuant hereto), no Make- | ||||
Whole Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Series B; and | ||||
(3) | if the Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Price is less than | |||
$25.25 per share (subject to adjustment pursuant hereto), no Make-Whole | ||||
Shares will be issued upon conversion of the Series B. | ||||
(B) | The Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Prices set forth in the table | |||
above (and the corresponding prices set forth in clauses (2) and (3) above) are | ||||
subject to adjustment pursuant hereto and shall be adjusted as of any date the |
-17-
Conversion Rate is adjusted. The adjusted Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Prices | ||||
(and corresponding prices set forth in clauses (2) and (3) above) shall equal the | ||||
Make-Whole Acquisition Stock Prices (and corresponding prices set forth in | ||||
clauses (2) and (3) above), respectively, applicable immediately prior to such | ||||
adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion | ||||
Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Make-Whole | ||||
Acquisition Stock Price adjustments and the denominator of which is the | ||||
Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Make-Whole Shares in the table | ||||
above shall also be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion | ||||
Rate pursuant to Section 11. | ||||
(iii) | On or before the twentieth day prior to the date on which the Corporation | |||
anticipates consummating the Make-Whole Acquisition (or, if later, within two Business | ||||
Days after the Corporation becomes aware of a Make-Whole Acquisition described in | ||||
the Corporation, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders as they appear in the | ||||
records of the Corporation. Such notice shall contain: | ||||
(A) | the date on which the Make-Whole Acquisition is anticipated to be effected; | |||
(B) | the date, which shall be 30 days after the Make-Whole Acquisition | |||
Effective Date, by which the Make-Whole Acquisition conversion option must be | ||||
exercised; | ||||
(C) | the amount of cash, securities and other consideration payable per | |||
share of Common Stock or Series B, respectively; and | ||||
(D) | the instructions a Holder must follow to exercise its conversion | |||
option in connection with such Make-Whole Acquisition. | ||||
(iv) | To exercise a Make-Whole Acquisition Conversion option, a Holder must, | |||
no later than the Close of Business on the date by which the Make-Whole Acquisition | ||||
Conversion option must be exercised as specified in the notice delivered under | ||||
Section 10(c)(iii), comply with the procedures set forth in Section 10(b). | ||||
(v) | If a Holder does not elect to exercise the Make-Whole Acquisition | |||
Conversion option pursuant to this Section 10(c), the shares of Series B or successor | ||||
securities held by it shall remain outstanding but shall not be eligible to receive Make- | ||||
Whole Shares. | ||||
(vi) | Upon a Make-Whole Acquisition Conversion, the Conversion Agent shall, | |||
except as otherwise provided in the instructions provided by the Holder thereof in the | ||||
written notice provided to the Corporation or its successor as set forth in Section 10(b), | ||||
deliver to the Holder such cash, securities or other property as are issuable with respect to | ||||
Make-Whole Shares in the Make-Whole Acquisition. |
-18-
(vii) | In the event that a Make-Whole Acquisition Conversion is effected with | |
respect to shares of Series B or successor securities representing fewer than all the shares | ||
of Series B or successor securities held by a Holder, upon such Make-Whole Acquisition | ||
Conversion, the Corporation or its successor shall execute and the Conversion Agent | ||
shall, unless otherwise instructed in writing, countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, | ||
at the expense of the Corporation or its successors, a certificate evidencing the shares of | ||
Series B or such successor securities held by the Holder as to which a Make-Whole | ||
Acquisition Conversion was not effected. | ||
(viii) | If a Holder elects to convert its shares of Series B in connection with a | |
Make-Whole Acquisition, such Holder shall not be entitled to an adjusted conversion | ||
price pursuant to Section 10(g) to the extent such Make-Whole Acquisition also | ||
constitutes a Fundamental Change. | ||
(d) | Registration of Common Stock. In the event that a Holder shall not by | |
written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon | ||
conversion of such Series B should be registered or the address to which the certificate or | ||
certificates representing such shares of Common Stock should be sent, the Corporation shall be | ||
entitled to register such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder as shown on | ||
the records of the Corporation and to send the certificate or certificates representing such shares | ||
of Common Stock to the address of such Holder shown on the records of the Corporation. | ||
(e) | Dividends. If a Non-Mandatory Conversion Date on which a Holder | |
elects to convert Series B is prior to the Close of Business on the Dividend Record Date relating | ||
to any declared dividend for the Dividend Period in which such Holder is electing to convert, | ||
such Holder will not have the right to receive any declared dividends for that Dividend Period. If | ||
a Non-Mandatory Conversion Date on which a Holder elects to convert Series B is after the | ||
Close of Business on the Dividend Record Date for any declared dividend and prior to the | ||
Dividend Payment Date, such Holder shall receive that dividend on the relevant Dividend | ||
Payment Date if such Holder was the Holder of record at the Close of Business on the Dividend | ||
Record Date for that dividend. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Non-Mandatory | ||
Conversion Date is after the Close of Business on the Dividend Record Date and prior to the | ||
Open of Business on the Dividend Payment Date, whether or not such Holder was the Holder of | ||
record at the Close of Business on the Dividend Record Date, the Holder must pay to the | ||
Conversion Agent upon conversion of the shares of Series B an amount in cash equal to the | ||
dividend payable on the Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Dividend Period on the | ||
shares of Series B being converted. | ||
(f) | Outstanding Shares of Series B. Shares of Series B shall cease to be | |
outstanding on the applicable Conversion Date, subject to the right of Holders of such shares to | ||
receive shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series B. | ||
(g) | Conversion Upon Fundamental Change. | |
(i) | If the Reference Price in connection with a Fundamental Change is less | |
than the then applicable Conversion Price, a Holder may convert each share of Series B |
-19-
during the period beginning on the effective date of the Fundamental Change and ending | ||||
on the date that is 30 days after the effective date of such Fundamental Change at an | ||||
adjusted conversion price equal to the greater of (1) the Reference Price and (2) $12.625, | ||||
subject to adjustment as described herein (the “Base Price”). The date of such | ||||
conversion upon a Fundamental Change is referred to herein as the “Fundamental | ||||
Change Conversion Date.” | ||||
(ii) | The Base Price shall be adjusted as of any date the Conversion Rate of the | |||
Series B is adjusted pursuant hereto. The adjusted Base Price shall equal the Base Price | ||||
applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator | ||||
of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the | ||||
Base Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so | ||||
adjusted. If the Reference Price is less than the Base Price, Holders shall receive a | ||||
maximum of 79.2079 shares of Common Stock per share of Series B (subject to | ||||
adjustment in a manner inverse to the adjustments to the Base Price). | ||||
(iii) | On or before the 20thday prior to the date on which the Corporation | |||
anticipates consummating the Fundamental Change (or, if later, within two Business | ||||
Days after the Corporation becomes aware of a Fundamental Change described in clause | ||||
(i) of the definition of such term), a written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the | ||||
Corporation, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders as they appear in the | ||||
records of the Corporation. Such notice shall contain: | ||||
(A) | the date on which the Fundamental Change is anticipated to be | |||
effected; and | ||||
(B) | the date, which shall be 30 days after the effective date of a | |||
Fundamental Change, by which the Fundamental Change conversion option must | ||||
be exercised. | ||||
(iv) | On the effective date of a Fundamental Change, another written notice | |||
shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to | ||||
the Holders as they appear in the records of the Corporation. Such notice shall contain: | ||||
(A) | the date that shall be 30 days after the effective date of the | |||
Fundamental Change; | ||||
(B) | the adjusted conversion price following the Fundamental Change; | |||
(C) | the amount of cash, securities and other consideration payable per | |||
share of Common Stock or Series B, respectively; and | ||||
(D) | the instructions a Holder must follow to exercise its conversion | |||
option in connection with such Fundamental Change. |
-20-
(v) | To exercise its conversion option upon a Fundamental Change, a Holder | |||
must, no later than the Close of Business on the date by which the conversion option | ||||
upon the Fundamental Change must be exercised as specified in the notice delivered | ||||
under Section 10(g)(iv), comply with the procedures set forth in Section 10(b). | ||||
(vi) | If a Holder does not elect to exercise its conversion option upon a | |||
Fundamental Change pursuant to this Section 10(g), the shares of Series B or successor | ||||
securities held by it will remain outstanding but shall not thereafter be entitled to convert | ||||
in accordance with Section 10(g). | ||||
(vii) | Upon a conversion upon a Fundamental Change, the Conversion Agent | |||
shall, except as otherwise provided in the instructions provided by the Holder thereof in | ||||
the written notice provided to the Corporation or its successor as set forth in | ||||
Section 10(b), deliver to the Holder such cash, securities or other property as are issuable | ||||
with respect to the adjusted conversion price following the Fundamental Change. | ||||
(viii) | In the event that a conversion upon a Fundamental Change is effected with | |||
respect to shares of Series B or successor securities representing fewer than all the shares | ||||
of Series B or successor securities held by a Holder, upon such conversion the | ||||
Corporation or its successor shall execute and the Conversion Agent shall, unless | ||||
otherwise instructed in writing, countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the | ||||
expense of the Corporation, a certificate evidencing the shares of Series B or such | ||||
successor securities held by the Holder as to which a conversion upon a Fundamental | ||||
Change was not effected. | ||||
(ix) | If a Holder elects to convert its shares of Series B in connection with a | |||
Fundamental Change, such Holder shall not be entitled to Make-Whole Shares pursuant | ||||
to Section 10(c) to the extent such Fundamental Change also constitutes a Make-Whole | ||||
Acquisition. | ||||
(h) | A Holder cannot effect both a Make-Whole Acquisition Conversion and a | |||
Fundamental Change Conversion with respect to a share of Series B. | ||||
(i) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of | |||
Designations, a Holder of shares of Series B shall not, for a period of 35 calendar days after any | ||||
Conversion Date, sell any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities it receives upon | ||||
conversion of the shares it converted on such Conversion Date. | ||||
11. | Anti-Dilution Adjustments. | |||
(a) | The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the | |||
Corporation as follows: | ||||
(i) | If the Corporation, at any time or from time to time while any of | |||
the Series B is outstanding, issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on | ||||
shares of Common Stock, or if the Corporation effects a share split or share combination in |
-21-
respect of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following |
formula: |
CR'=CR0 | X | OS' | ||
OS0 |
where | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or | ||||
distribution, or the Close of Business on the effective date | ||||
of such share split or combination, as applicable; | ||||
CR' | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or | ||||
distribution, or the Close of Business on the effective date | ||||
of such share split or share combination, as applicable; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding | ||
immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record | ||||
Date for such dividend or distribution, or the Close of | ||||
Business on the effective date of such share split or share | ||||
combination, as applicable; and | ||||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding | ||
immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the | ||||
Close of Business on the effective date of such share split | ||||
or share combination, as applicable. |
The Corporation will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of | ||
Common Stock held in treasury by the Corporation. | ||
(ii) | Except as otherwise provided for by Section 11(a)(iv) below, if the | |
Corporation, at any time or from time to time while any of the Series B is outstanding, distributes | ||
to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any rights or | ||
warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 45 calendar days from the Record Date of | ||
such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less | ||
than the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the | ||
Record Date of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following | ||
formula: |
CR'=CR0 | X | OS0+X | ||
OS0+Y | ||||
-22-
where | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such | ||||
distribution; | ||||
CR' | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such | ||||
distribution; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding | ||
immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record | ||||
Date for such distribution; | ||||
X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable | ||
pursuant to such rights or warrants; and | ||||
Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the | ||
aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants | ||||
divided by the average of the Closing Prices of the | ||||
Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day | ||||
period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding | ||||
the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such | ||
rights or warrants upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion | ||
Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the | ||
adjustments made upon the distribution of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the | ||
delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. | ||
In determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, | ||
there shall be taken into account any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such | ||
consideration, if other than Cash, to be determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of | ||
Directors. | ||
(iii) | If the Corporation, at any time or from time to time while any of | |
the Series B is outstanding, shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all | ||
holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Corporation (other than | ||
Common Stock as covered by Section 11(a)(i) above), evidences of its indebtedness, assets, | ||
property or rights or warrants to acquire the Corporation’s Capital Stock or other securities, but | ||
excluding (i) dividends or distributions as to which an adjustment under Section 11(a)(i), Section | ||
11(a)(ii) or Section 11(a)(iv) hereof shall apply, (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in | ||
Cash and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provision set forth below in this Section 11(a)(iii) shall | ||
apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, assets, property or rights or warrants to | ||
acquire the Corporation’s Common Stock or other securities, hereinafter in this Section 11(a)(iii) |
-23-
called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted |
based on the following formula: |
CR'= CR0 X | SP0 | |||||
SP-FMV | ||||||
Where | ||||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such | ||||||
distribution; | ||||||
CR' | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the | ||||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such | ||||||
distribution; | ||||||
SP0 | = | the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock | ||||
over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the | ||||||
Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date | ||||||
for such distribution; and | ||||||
FMV | = | the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the | ||||
Corporation’s Board of Directors) of the portion of | ||||||
Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share | ||||||
of Common Stock on the Record Date for such | ||||||
distribution. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the then fair market value (as so determined) of |
the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is |
equal to or greater than SP0as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the |
Corporation shall distribute to each Holder on the date the Distributed Property is distributed to |
holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such Holder to convert its shares of Series B, |
the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a |
number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date fixed for |
determination for stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If the Board of Directors |
determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii) by |
reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so |
consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the |
Closing Prices of the Common Stock for purposes of calculating SP0in the formula in this |
Section 11(a)(iii). |
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii) where there has |
been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting of shares of |
Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or |
other business unit of the Corporation (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately |
-24-
before the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the |
effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula: |
CR'=CR | X | FMV+MP0 | ||
MP0 | ||||
where | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||
Close of Business on the 10thTrading Day immediately | ||||
following, and including, the effective date of the Spin- | ||||
Off; | ||||
CR' | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect from and after the Close | ||
of Business on the 10thTrading Day immediately | ||||
following, and including, the effective date of the Spin- | ||||
Off; | ||||
FMV | = | the average of the Closing Prices of the Capital Stock or | ||
similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common | ||||
Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the | ||||
10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, | ||||
and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and | ||||
MP0 | = | the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over | ||
the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately | ||||
following, and including, the effective date of the Spin- | ||||
Off. |
Such adjustment shall occur on the 10thTrading Day immediately following, and |
including, the effective date of the Spin-Off (it being agreed that notwithstanding Section 9(a), |
the Holder of the Series B shall not be entitled to convert the Series B pursuant to an Early |
Conversion prior to such 10thTrading Day). |
For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) |
hereof, any dividend or distribution to which this Section 11(a)(iii) is applicable that also |
includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of |
Common Stock to which Section 11(a)(i) or 11(a)(ii) hereof applies (or both), shall be deemed |
instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of |
Capital Stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section |
11(a)(i) or 11(a)(ii) hereof applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section |
11 (a)(iii) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed |
by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants to |
which Section 11(a)(i) or 11(a)(ii) hereof applies (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment |
required by Section 11(a)(i) and 11(a)(ii) hereof with respect to such dividend or distribution |
-25-
shall then be made), except (A) the Close of Business on the Record Date of such dividend or | ||
distribution shall be substituted for “the Close of Business on the Record Date,” “the Close of | ||
Business on the Record Date or the Close of Business on the effective date,” “after the Close of | ||
Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or the Close of Business on the | ||
effective date of such share split or share combination” and “the Close of Business on the Record | ||
Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof | ||
and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be | ||
deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date or the Close | ||
of Business on the effective date” within the meaning of Section 11(a)(i) hereof. | ||
(iv) | If the Corporation, at any time or from time to time while any of | |
the Series B is outstanding, distributes rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock | ||
entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or convert into shares of the Corporation’s | ||
Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the | ||
occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (x) are deemed to be transferred | ||
with such shares of Common Stock; (y) are not exercisable; and (z) are also issued in respect of | ||
future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of | ||
Section 11(a)(iii) above, (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 11(a)(iii) | ||
above will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event and a distribution or | ||
deemed distribution under the terms of such rights or warrants at which time an appropriate | ||
adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made in the same manner as | ||
provided for under Section 11(a)(iii) above. If any such rights or warrants are subject to events, | ||
upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different | ||
securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and | ||
each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to | ||
new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or | ||
warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any | ||
distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants (of the type described in the preceding | ||
sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount | ||
for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11(a)(iv) was made, (1) in the | ||
case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without | ||
exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final | ||
redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, | ||
as though it were a Cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price | ||
received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants | ||
(assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common | ||
Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or | ||
warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the | ||
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights or warrants had not been issued. | ||
(v) | (1) If the Corporation, at any time or from time to time while any | |
of the Series B is outstanding, makes a regular, quarterly Cash dividend or distribution to all or | ||
substantially all holders of Common Stock during any quarterly fiscal period that exceeds $0.27 | ||
(the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following | ||
formula: |
-26-
CR1 | =CR0 | X | SP0 | |||||
SP0-C |
where | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or | ||||
distribution; | ||||
CR1 | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or | ||||
distribution; | ||||
SP0 | = | the average Closing Price of the Common Stock over the | ||
ten consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day | ||||
immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such | ||||
dividend or distribution; | ||||
C | = | the amount in Cash per share the Corporation distributes or | ||
dividends to holders of Common Stock in excess of the | ||||
Initial Dividend Threshold. |
The Initial Dividend Threshold shall be adjusted in a manner inversely proportional to |
adjustments to the Conversion Rate;providedthat no adjustment shall be made to the Initial |
Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to clauses (1) or |
(2) of this Section 11(a)(v). |
(2) If the Corporation pays any cash dividend or distribution that |
is not a regular, quarterly cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of |
Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: |
CR1 | =CR0 | X | SP0 | |||||
SP0-C |
where | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or | ||||
distribution; |
-27-
CR1 | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the | ||
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or | ||||
distribution; | ||||
SP0 | = | the average Closing Price of the Common Stock over the | ||
ten consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day | ||||
immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such | ||||
dividend or distribution; | ||||
C | = | the amount in Cash per share the Corporation distributes or | ||
dividends to holders of Common Stock |
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the portion of the Cash so distributed | ||
applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0as set forth above, in | ||
lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Corporation shall distribute to each Holder on the date the | ||
Cash dividend or distribution is paid to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such | ||
Holder to convert its shares of Series B, the amount of Cash such Holder would have received | ||
had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on | ||
the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid | ||
or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then | ||
be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. | ||
(4) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 11(a)(v), in the event | ||
of any reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Series B becomes | ||
convertible into more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate | ||
is required pursuant to this Section 11(a)(v), references in this Section to one share of Common | ||
Stock or Closing Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the | ||
price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the | ||
Series B is then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one | ||
share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall | ||
similarly apply to successive reclassifications. | ||
(vi) | If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment of | |
Cash or other consideration in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of | ||
the Common Stock, where such Cash and the value of any such other consideration included in | ||
the payment per share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged exceeds the Closing | ||
Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “expiration | ||
date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as | ||
it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: |
CR'=CR0 | x AC+(SP' xOS') | |
OS0 xSP' | ||
-28-
Where | ||||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the | ||
Close of Business on the expiration date; | ||||
CR' | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the | ||
Close of Business on the expiration date; | ||||
AC | = | the aggregate value of all Cash and any other consideration | ||
(as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of | ||||
Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased in such | ||||
tender or exchange offer; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding | ||
immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer | ||||
expires; | ||||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding | ||
immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer | ||||
expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or | ||||
exchange offer); and | ||||
SP' | = | the average Closing Price of Common Stock over the ten | ||
consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day next | ||||
succeeding the expiration date. | ||||
If the Corporation or a Subsidiary is obligated to purchase shares of Common | ||||
Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Corporation or such Subsidiary is | ||||
permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all or any portion | ||||
of such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the | ||||
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made | ||||
or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected. Except as set forth in | ||||
the preceding sentence, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11(a)(vi) | ||||
with respect to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion | ||||
Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section | ||||
11(a)(vi). | ||||
(vii) | For purposes of this Section 11(a) the term “Record Date” shall | |||
mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the | ||||
holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any Cash, securities or other property or in | ||||
which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any | ||||
combination of Cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of | ||||
shareholders entitled to receive such Cash, securities or other property (whether such date is | ||||
fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise). |
-29-
(viii) | If application of the formulas provided in Sections 11(a)(i), | |
11(a)(ii), 11(a)(iii), 11(a)(iv), 11(a)(v) or 11(a)(vi) above would result in a decrease in the | ||
Conversion Rate, no adjustment (other than a readjustment as described in such sections) to the | ||
Conversion Rate shall be made except in the case of a share split or combination of the Common | ||
Stock. | ||
(ix) | If one or more events occur requiring an adjustment be made to the | |
Conversion Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be determined | ||
by the Corporation’s Board of Directors to reflect the combined impact of such Conversion Rate | ||
adjustments, as set out in this Section 11(a), during such period. | ||
(x) | Notwithstanding any of the foregoing clauses in this Section 11, no | |
adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a | ||
change in the Conversion Rate of at least 1.00%;provided, however, that any adjustment which | ||
by reason of this Section 11(a)(x) is not required to be made shall be carried forward and the | ||
Corporation shall make such adjustment, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less | ||
than 1.00%, within one year of the first such adjustment carried forward or in connection with | ||
any conversion of Series B. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest | ||
one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, | ||
as the case may be. | ||
No adjustment in the Conversion Rate need be made (i) for issuances of Common | ||
Stock pursuant to any present or future plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on | ||
the Corporation’s securities or the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of | ||
Common Stock under any plan, (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options | ||
or rights to purchase shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant | ||
benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) upon | ||
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, | ||
exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Series B was first issued, (iv) | ||
for a change in the par value of the Common Stock, (v) for repurchases of shares of Common | ||
Stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, or (vi) for accumulated | ||
and unpaid dividends, other than as expressly contemplated by Section 11(a)(i). | ||
No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) | ||
through (ix) above for a transaction if Holders are permitted to participate in the transaction | ||
without conversion, concurrently with the holders of Common Stock, on a basis and with notice | ||
that the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines in good faith to be fair and appropriate | ||
in light of the basis and notice to holders of Common Stock participating in the transaction. | ||
Whenever a provision of this Certificate of Designations requires the calculation | ||
of an average of the Closing Price over a span of multiple days, the Corporation will make | ||
appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes | ||
effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or | ||
any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the | ||
event occurs, at any time during the period from which the average is to be calculated. |
-30-
(xi) | Upon conversion of the Series B, the Holders shall receive, in | |
addition to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, any associated rights | ||
issued under any shareholder rights agreement of the Corporation that provides that each share of | ||
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series B at any time prior to the distribution of | ||
separate certificates representing such rights will be entitled to receive such rights unless, prior to | ||
conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, expired, terminated or been | ||
redeemed or exchanged in accordance with such rights plan, and no adjustment shall be made to | ||
the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11(a)(iv) hereof. If, prior to any conversion, the rights | ||
have separated from the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of | ||
separation as if the Corporation distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of Capital | ||
Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property or rights or warrants as described in Section | ||
11(a)(iv) hereof, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption | ||
of such rights. | ||
(xii) | Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, | |
the Corporation shall be entitled to increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of | ||
at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the | ||
best interests in the Corporation;providedthe Corporation has given to the Conversion Agent | ||
and DTC at least 15 days’ prior notice of any such increase in the Conversion Rate and the | ||
period during which it will be in effect. Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing | ||
standards, the Corporation shall be entitled to increase the Conversion Rate, in addition to the | ||
events requiring an increase in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11 hereof, as it in its | ||
discretion shall determine to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any tax to shareholders in | ||
connection with any stock dividends, subdivisions of shares, distributions of rights to purchase | ||
stock or securities or distributions of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock | ||
hereafter made by the Corporation to its shareholders or other events. | ||
(xiii) | Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the | |
Corporation will issue a notice to the Conversion Agent and DTC containing the relevant | ||
information and make this information available on the Corporation’s website. In addition, the | ||
Corporation shall provide upon the request of a Holder of Series B, to the extent not posted on | ||
the Corporation website, a brief statement setting forth in reasonable detail how the adjustment | ||
to the Conversion Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate. | ||
(xiv) | For purposes of this Section 11, 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. | ||
(xv) | If the record date for a dividend or distribution on Common Stock | |
occurs prior to a Mandatory Conversion Date and the payment date for a dividend or distribution | ||
on Common Stock occurs after a Mandatory Conversion Date, and such dividend or distribution | ||
would have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate if such dividend or distribution | ||
does not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate but were paid prior to such Mandatory | ||
Conversion Date, then without duplication the Corporation shall deem the Holders to be holders |
-31-
of record of Common Stock for purposes of that dividend or distribution. In that case, the | ||||
Holders will receive the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the applicable | ||||
Mandatory Conversion Date together with the dividend or distribution on such shares of | ||||
Common Stock so converted. | ||||
12. | Reorganization Events. | |||
(a) | In the event of: | |||
(i) | any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into | |||
another Person or of another Person with or into the Corporation; | ||||
(ii) | any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of the | |||
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; | ||||
(iii) | any statutory share exchange of the Corporation with another | |||
Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition); or | ||||
(iv) | any liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Corporation; | |||
in each case in which holders of Common Stock would be entitled to receive cash, securities or | ||||
other property for their shares of Common Stock (any such event specified in this Section 12(a), | ||||
a “Reorganization Event”), each share of Series B outstanding immediately prior to such | ||||
Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of Holders, become convertible into the kind of | ||||
cash, securities and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by a holder of one | ||||
share of Common Stock that was not the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an affiliate | ||||
of such other party (such cash, securities and other property, the “Exchange Property”). | ||||
(b) | In the event that holders of the shares of the Common Stock have the | |||
opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the “Exchange | ||||
Property” that Holders of the Series B will be entitled to receive shall be deemed to be the | ||||
weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common | ||||
Stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none make an election). The | ||||
number of units of Exchange Property for each share of Series B converted following the | ||||
effective date of such Reorganization Event shall be determined based on the Conversion Rate | ||||
then in effect on the applicable Conversion Date, determined as if the references to a “share of | ||||
Common Stock” in this Certificate of Designations were to “unit of Exchange Property.” | ||||
(c) | After a Reorganization Event, for purposes of determining whether a | |||
Mandatory Conversion Date has occurred, the term “Closing Price” shall be deemed to refer to | ||||
the closing sale price, last quoted bid price or mid-point of the last bid and ask prices, as the case | ||||
may be, of any publicly traded securities that comprise all or part of the Exchange Property. For | ||||
purposes of this Section 12, references to Common Stock in the definition of “Trading Day” | ||||
shall be replaced by references to any publicly traded securities that comprise all or part of the | ||||
Exchange Property. |
-32-
(d) | The above provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive | |||
Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 11 shall apply to any shares of capital stock | ||||
of the Corporation (or any successor) received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such | ||||
Reorganization Event. | ||||
(e) | The Corporation (or any successor) shall, within 20 days of the occurrence | |||
of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such | ||||
event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the | ||||
Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this | ||||
Section 12 or the validity of any Reorganization Event. | ||||
13. | Fractional Shares. | |||
(a) | No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of any | |||
conversion of shares of Series B. | ||||
(b) | In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in | |||
respect of any mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 10(a) or a conversion at the option of | ||||
the Holder pursuant to Section 9(a), Section 10(c) or Section 10(g), the Corporation shall pay an | ||||
amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of: | ||||
(i) | in the case of a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 10(a), a | |||
Make Whole Acquisition conversion pursuant to Section 10(c) or a Conversion Upon | ||||
Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 10(g), the average of the Closing Prices over the five | ||||
consecutive Trading Day period preceding the Trading Day immediately preceding the | ||||
applicable Conversion Date; or | ||||
(ii) | in the case of an Early Conversion pursuant to Section 9(a), the | |||
Closing Price of the Common Stock on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Early | ||||
Conversion Date. | ||||
(c) | If more than one share of the Series B is surrendered for conversion at one | |||
time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon | ||||
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the | ||||
Series B so surrendered. | ||||
14. | Reservation of Common Stock. | |||
(a) | The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its | |||
authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares held in the treasury by the Corporation, solely | ||||
for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series B as provided in this Certificate of | ||||
Designations, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of | ||||
Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of | ||||
Series B then outstanding. For purposes of this Section 14(a), the number of shares of Common | ||||
Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B shall be |
-33-
computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single | ||
Holder. | ||
(b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to deliver | |
upon conversion of shares of Series B, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock acquired by | ||
the Corporation (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock), so | ||
long as any such acquired shares are free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests or | ||
encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by | ||
the Holders). | ||
(c) | All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series B | |
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, | ||
claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests | ||
and other encumbrances created by the Holders). | ||
(d) | Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be | |
obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series B, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best | ||
efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the | ||
registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any | ||
governmental authority. | ||
(e) | The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the | |
Common Stock shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities | ||
exchange or automated quotation system, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such | ||
exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall | ||
be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable | ||
upon conversion of the Series B;provided,however, that if the rules of such exchange or | ||
automated quotation system permit the Corporation to defer the listing of such Common Stock | ||
until the first conversion of Series B into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions | ||
hereof, the Corporation covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the | ||
Series B in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at | ||
such time. | ||
15. | Record Holders.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the | |
Corporation and the transfer agent for the Series B may deem and treat the record holder of any | ||
share of Series B as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the | ||
Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. | ||

(a) The Investor shall not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”) any of the Securities or Hedge its direct or indirect exposure to the Common Stock (including the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, following (i) a notice of a Make-Whole Acquisition pursuant to Section 10(c)(iii) of the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock or (ii) a notice of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 10(g)(iii) of the Certificate of Design ations for the Preferred Stock, the Investor may Transfer any of the Preferred Stock. On or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Investor shall not, within any period of three months, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer Securities or Hedge its direct or indirect exposure to Common Stock (including the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock), in one transaction or a series of transactions involving Securities, having an aggregate value exceeding $2.5 billion, in each case, other than (i) to a Controlled Affiliate that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if it were the Investor hereunder, (ii) as may be required by order or decree of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Investor or in the reasonable discretion of the Investor to comply with any applicable statute, rule or regulation, or (iii) following a notice of a Make-Whole Acquisition pursuant to Section 10(c)(iii) of the Certif icate of Designations for the Preferred Stock or a notice of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 10(g)(iii) of the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock. In the event that prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, any Person who was a transferee pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence ceases to be a Controlled Affiliate of Investor, then any prior Transfer to such Person pursuant to clause (i) shall become null and void and ownership and title to any such securities so Transferred shall revert to Investor. The Investor shall immediately notify the Company if it engages in any of the transactions referred to in this Section 4.1.
(b) At any time during which Investor is permitted to Transfer any Securities Investor shall not, without prior approval of the Board, knowingly Transfer such Securities to any one Person (or group of related Persons) if such Transfer would result in such Person (or
-8-
group of related Persons) Beneficially Owning in excess of 5% the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. The foregoing shall not apply to Transfers (i) consisting only of block trades executed at prevailing market prices obtainable at the time of such transfer through brokers in transactions on the NYSE, provided that the transferor does not know or have reason to believe that such Transfer would result in such Person (or group of related Persons) Beneficially Owning in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (ii) effected through widely distributed public offerings.
(c) The Investor’s rights under this Agreement will not be transferable to any transferee of any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, other than a transferee that is and remains a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Investor (and has entered into an agreement with the Company as set forth in Section 4.1(a)).
(d) Any certificates for Securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or issued upon conversion of Securities or issued in respect of any transfer of Securities shall bear a legend or legends (and appropriate comparable notations or other arrangements will be made with respect to any uncertificated shares) referencing restrictions on transfer of such shares under the Securities Act and under this Agreement;provided, that the holder of any certificate(s) bearing any such legend shall be entitled to receive from the Company new certificates for a like number of Securities not bearing such legend upon the request of such holder and upon (x) such time as such restriction is no longer applicable, and (y) delivery of an opinion of counsel to such holder, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, that the restriction referenced in such legend is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
(e) Nothing in this Section 4.1 (other than Section 4.1(b)) shall restrict Investor from Transferring, and the Investor is hereby permitted to Transfer, any Securities in order to reduce the number of Securities owned by it below 24% of “a class of voting stock” of the Company, as calculated for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). If at any time the Company reduces the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding, it shall use reasonable best efforts to notify the Investor promptly if the Investor would own a number of Securities exceeding 24% of “a class of voting stock” of the Company, as calculated for purposes of the BHCA. For purposes of such calculation, the Company shall be permitted to rely on the number of shares of Com mon Stock reported as Beneficially Owned by the Investor in its most recent Schedule 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
(f) If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Investor and its Affiliates exceeds the Ownership Limit (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations governing the Preferred Stock ) as a result of any repurchase of Common Stock by the Company or any other action or transaction undertaken by the Company, then notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 4.1 (other than Section 4.1(b)), the Investor shall be permitted to Transfer shares of Common Stock in order to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock owned by it to a number that is less than the Ownership Limit, but 99% or more of the Ownership Limit.

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section 5.1 Preemptive Rights. (a) If the Company offers to sell Covered Securities in a Qualified Offering, the Investor shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, in the aggregate up to the amount of Covered Securities required to enable it to maintain its then-current Investor Percentage Interest, but only to the extent that its Economic Interest Percentage does not as a consequence exceed 20%. This Section 5.1 shall not apply to any Qualified Offering the gross proceeds of which, together with the aggregate gross pr oceeds of any other Qualified Offering of Covered Securities after the date hereof, do not exceed $500,000,000.
Section 5.2 Notice. (a) In the event the Company intends to make a Qualified Offering of Covered Securities that is an underwritten public offering or a private offering made to Qualified Institutional Buyers (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the Company shall give the Investor written notice of its intention (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent possible, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed in respect of such offering), describing, to the extent then known, the anticipate d amount of securities, price and other material terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the same. The Investor shall have 24 hours (which shall not include any hours during any day that is not a Business Day) from the date and time of receipt of any such notice to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise such preemptive purchase rights and as to the amount of Covered Securities the Investor desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 5.1 (the “Designated Securities”). Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of Investor to purchase the Designated Securities so specified at the range of prices and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure to respond during such 24-hour period shall constitute a waiver of preemptive rights in respect of such offering. To the extent the Company shall give the Investor notice of any such offer prior to the public announcement thereof, the Investor shall agree to confidentiality and restriction on trading terms reasonably acceptable to the Company. The failure of the Investor to agree to such terms within 24 hours (which shall not include any hours during any day that is not a Business Day) after the date and time of receipt of the Company’s notice as described in this clause shall constitute a waiver of the Investor’s preemptive rights in respect of such offering.
(b) If the Company proposes to make a Qualified Offering of Covered Securities that is not an underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering (a “Private Placement”), the Company shall give the Investor written notice of its intention, describing, to the extent then known, the anticipated amount of securities, price and other material terms upon which the Company proposes to offer the same. The Investor shall have 48 hours (which shall not include any hours during any day that is not a Business Day) from the date and time of receipt of the notice required by the immediately preceding sentence to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercis e such preemptive purchase rights and as to the amount of Designated Securities the Investor desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 5.1. Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of Investor to purchase the amount of Designated Securities so specified (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of Covered Securities to be offered in such Private Placement is
-10-
subsequently reduced) upon the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure of the Investor to respond during the 48-hour period (which shall not include any hours during any day that is not a Business Day) referred to in the second preceding sentence shall constitute a waiver of the preemptive rights in respect of such offering. To the extent the Company shall give the Investor notice of any such offer prior to the public announcement thereof, the Investor shall agree to confidentiality and restriction on trading terms reasonably acceptable to the Company. The failure of the Investor to agree to such terms within 48 hours (which shall not include any hours during any day that is not a Business Day) after the date and time of receipt of the Company’s notice as described in this clause shall constitute a waiver of the Investor’s preemptive rights in respect of such offering.
Section 5.3 Purchase Mechanism. (a) If the Investor exercises its preemptive purchase rights provided in Section 5.2(a), the Company shall offer the Investor, if such underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering is consummated, the Designated Securities (as adjusted to reflect the actual size of such offering when priced) at the same price as the Covered Securities are offered to the investors in such offering and shall provide written notice of such price to the Investor as soon as practicable prior to such consummation. Contemporaneously with the execution of any underwriting agreement or purchase agreement ent ered into between the Company and the underwriters or initial purchasers of such underwritten public offering or Rule 144A offering, the Investor shall, if it continues to wish to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to such offering, enter into an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company acknowledging the Investor’s binding obligation to purchase the Designated Securities to be acquired by it and containing representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor that are customary in private placement transactions and, in any event, no less favorable to the Investor than any underwriting or purchase agreement entered into by the Company in connection with such offering, and the failure to enter into such an instrument at or prior to such time shall constitute a waiver of preemptive rights in respect of such offering. Any offers and sales pursuant to this Article V in the context of a registered public offering shall be also conditioned on reasonably acceptable r epresentations and warranties of the Investor regarding its status as the type of offeree to whom a private sale can be made concurrently with a registered offering in compliance with applicable securities laws.
(b) If the Investor exercises its preemptive rights provided in Section 5.2(b), the closing of the purchase of the Covered Securities with respect to which such right has been exercised shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Private Placement giving rise to such preemptive purchase rights and shall take place simultaneously with the closing of the Private Placement or on such other date as the Company and the Investor shall agree in writing; provided that the actual amount of Covered Securities to be sold to the Investor pursuant to its exercise of preemptive rights hereunder shall be reduced if the aggregate amount of Covered Securities sold in the Private Placement is reduced and, at the option of the Investor (to be exercised by delivery of written notice to the Company within five busine ss days of receipt of notice of such increase), shall be increased if such aggregate amount of Covered Securities sold in the Private Placement is increased. In connection with its purchase of Designated Securities, Investor shall, if it continues to wish to exercise its preemptive rights with respect to such offering, execute an agreement containing representations, warranties and agreements of Investor that are
-11-
substantially similar in all material respects to the agreements executed by other purchasers in such Private Placement.
Section 5.4 Cooperation. The Company and the Investor shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Investor’s preemptive rights hereunder, including securing any required approvals or consents, in a manner that does not jeopardize the timing, marketing, pricing or execution of any offering of the Company’s securities. In the event that within 60 days of the date hereof the Company proposes to offer or sell securities in a single transaction or series of transactions for aggregate proceeds in excess of $500,000,000, the Company shall consult with Investor concerning such transaction or transactions prior to u ndertaking such transaction.
Section 5.5 Limitation of Rights. Notwithstanding the above, nothing set forth in this Article V shall confer upon the Investor the right to purchase any securities of the Company other than Designated Securities.
Section 5.6 Termination of Preemptive Rights. Anything to the contrary in this Article V notwithstanding, the preemptive right to purchase Covered Securities granted by this Article V shall not be available for any offering that commences at any time after the earlier of (i) the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date on which the Investor offers, sells, pledges or otherwise transfers any of the Securities that it acquired on the Closing Date or the Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Securities, or Hedges its exposure to the Common Stock, except as contemplated by clause (i) or (ii) of the second sentence of Se ction 4.1(a), Section 4.1(e) and Section 4.1(f) . The Investor shall immediately notify the Company if it engages in any of the transactions referred to in this Section 5.6.

fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 2.8(a).
