CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND
RIGHTS OF SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
of
CBI INDUSTRIES, INC.
Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware
We, William A. Pogue, Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer, and Donald H. Craigmile, Secretary, of
CBI Industries, Inc.. a corporation organized and existing under
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
"Corporation"), in accordance with the provisions of Section 103
thereof, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:
That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of
Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation,
the Board of Directors on March 4, 1986, adopted the following
resolution creating a series of six hundred thousand (600,000)
shares of Preferred Stock designated as Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board
of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions
of its Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock
of the Corporation be and it hereby is created, and that the
designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of
the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof are as follows:
Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such
series shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock" and the number of shares constituting such
series shall be 600,000.
Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.
(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders
of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and
superior to the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out
of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends
payable in cash on the last day of March, June, September and
December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as
a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a
share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest
cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the
aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times
the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash
dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in
shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on
the Common Stock, $2.50 par value per share, of the Corporation
(the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or
fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or
pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding
sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares
a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in
the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on
the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on
such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the
date of issue of such shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior
to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from
the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is
a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record
date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a
quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to
accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest.
Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be
allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such
shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a
record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive
payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which
record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed
for the payment thereof.
Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following
voting rights:
(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of
Common Stock; or effect a subdivision or combination of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to
which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event
shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the
holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote
together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders of the Corporation.
(C) (i) If at any time dividends on any Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount
equal to six (6) quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of
such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein
called a "default period") which shall extend until such time
when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly
dividend periods and for the current quarterly dividend period on
all shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for
payment. During each default period, the holders of Preferred
Stock, voting as a class, irrespective of Series, shall have the
right to elect two (2)Directors.
(ii) During any default period, such voting right of
the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may
be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to
subparagraph (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting
of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of
stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the
right of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock, if
any, to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of
Directors shall be exercised unless the holders of ten percent
(10%) in number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding shall be
present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the
holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the
holders of Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting
at which the holders of Preferred Stock shall exercise such
voting right initially during an existing default period, they
shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect Directors to
fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may
then exist up to two (2) Directors or, if such right is exercised
at an annual meeting to elect two (2) Directors. If the number
which may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to
the required number, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall
have the right, subject to the limitation on number of directors
set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation,
to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be
necessary to permit the election by them of the required number.
After the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have exercised
their right to elect Directors in any default period and during
the continuance of such period, the number of Directors shall not
be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders of
Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of
any equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
(iii) Unless the holders of Preferred Stock shall,
during an existing default period, have previously exercised
their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order,
or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not
less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of
Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of series, may request,
the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Preferred
Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the Chairman of
the Board, the Vice Chairman of the Board, the President, a
Vice-President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of
such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph
(C)(iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Preferred
Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address
as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such
meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and
not later than 60 days after such order or request; or in default
of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or
request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any
stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than
10% of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (C)(iii), no
such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60
days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual
meeting of the stockholders.
(iv) In any default period the holders of Common
Stock, and other classes of stock of the Corporation if
applicable, shall continue to be entitled to elect the whole
number of Directors until the holders of Preferred Stock shall
have exercised their right to elect two (2) Directors voting as a
class, after the exercise of which right (x) the Directors so
elected by the holders of Preferred Stock shall continue in
office until their successors shall have been elected by such
holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y)
any vacancy in the Board of Directors may (except as provided in
paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3) be filled by vote of a
majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the
holders of the class of stock which elected the Director whose
office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph
(C) to Directors elected by the holders of a particular class of
Stock shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill
vacancies as provided in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence.
(v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default
period, (x) the right of the holders of Preferred Stock as a
class to elect Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any
Directors elected by the holders of Preferred Stock as a class
shall terminate, and (z) the number of Directors shall be such
number as may be provided for in the certificate of incorporation
or by-laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph (C)(ii)of this Section 3 (such number
being subject, however, to change thereafter in any manner
provided by law or in the certificate of incorporation or
by-laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by
the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence
may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors.
(D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights
and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent
they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set
forth herein) for taking any corporate action.
Section 4. Certain Restrictions.
(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears,
thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been
paid in full, the Corporation shall not
(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other
distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other
distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except
dividends paid ratably on the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are
payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which
the holders of all such shares are then entitled;
(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as
to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with
the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that
the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of
any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock; or
(iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or
any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a
purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined
by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon
such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the
respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and
preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine
in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among
the respective series or classes.
(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation
could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or
otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be
retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.
All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized
but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as
part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by
resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to
the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.
Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon
any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of
shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders
of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
have received $75 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and
unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not
declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders
of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to
the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100
times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders
of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of stock ranking on a
parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in
proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding
up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or
pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were
entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in
clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event.
Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the
Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger,
combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common
Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case
the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount
per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter
set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as
the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common
Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a
dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser
number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the
exchange or change of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
Section 8. Ranking. The Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the
Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and
the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series
shall provide otherwise.
Section 9. Amendment. The Certificate of Incorporation of
the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would
materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special
rights of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as
to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the
holders of two thirds or more of the outstanding shares of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a
class.
Section 10. Fractional Shares. Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a
share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such
holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive
dividends, participate in liquidating distributions and to have
the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have executed and subscribed this
Certificate and do affirm the foregoing as true under the
penalties of perjury this 5th day of March, 1986.

_________________________
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
_________________________
The undersigned, Chairman of the Board of Directors,
President and Chief Executive Officer of CBI Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), DOES
HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution has been duly
adopted by a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors
of the Corporation:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly
granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the
Corporation (the "Board of Directors") by the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, there hereby is
created, out of the 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the
Corporation authorized in Article Fourth of its Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Preferred Stock"), a series of Preferred
Stock of the Corporation consisting of 1,725,000 shares, which
series shall have the following powers, designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the
following qualifications, limitations and restrictions (in
addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions, set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation which are applicable to the
Preferred Stock):
1. Designation; Number of Shares; Par Value.
The designation of said shares of the Preferred Stock shall
be $3.50 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series B (the
"Series B Preferred Stock"). The number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be limited to 1,725,000. The par value of
the Series B Preferred Stock shall be $1.00 per share.
2. Dividends.
(a) The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof (an "Authorized
Board Committee"), out of funds legally available for the payment
of dividends, cumulative cash dividends in the amount of $3.50
per share per annum, and no more. Dividends shall accumulate and
be payable quarterly on the thirtieth day of January, April, July
and October in each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date" or
collectively, "Dividend Payment Dates"), commencing January 30,
1987, except that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a business
day in New York City, then such quarterly dividend shall be
payable on the next succeeding business day and such next
succeeding business day shall be the Dividend Payment Date.
Dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall accrue
and be cumulative from the date of their original issue and will
be payable to stockholders of record on the record date, which
shall be not more than 45 days nor less than 10 days preceding
such Dividend Payment Date, fixed for such purpose by the Board
of Directors or an Authorized Board Committee in advance of each
particular Dividend Payment Date. The amount of dividends
payable on shares of Series B Preferred Stock for each full
quarterly dividend period shall be computed by dividing by four
the amount per share per annum set forth in this paragraph 2.
Dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Stock for the initial
dividend period and for any period less than a full quarterly
period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. Dividends paid on shares of Series B Preferred
Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends
at the time accumulated and payable on such shares shall be
allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such
shares at the time outstanding.
(b) So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are
outstanding, unless all accumulated dividends on all outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been paid or
contemporaneously are declared and paid through the last Dividend
Payment Date and full quarterly dividends on the Series B
Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and
set apart for payment through the next succeeding Dividend
Payment Date, no dividends shall be paid or declared and set
apart for payment or any other distribution made upon the Common
Stock or Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock or any
other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B
Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends (other than dividends
paid or other distributions made in stock of the Corporation
ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of
dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up), nor
shall any Common Stock, Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the
Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends be redeemed,
purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any
moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the
redemption of any shares of such stock) by the Corporation
(except by conversion of such junior stock into or exchange of
such junior stock for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up).
(c) Except as hereinafter provided, no dividends shall be
paid or declared and set apart for payment or any other
distribution made (other then dividends paid or other
distributions made in stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) on the Preferred Stock of
any other series ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred
Stock as to payment of dividends for any period unless all
accumulated dividends on all outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and set apart for
payment or contemporaneously are paid or declared and set apart
for payment through the last Dividend Payment Date and no
dividends shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment or
any other distribution made (other then dividends paid or other
distributions made in stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) on the Series B Preferred
Stock unless all accumulated dividends on all outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock of all other series ranking on a parity with
the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends have been
paid or declared and set apart for payment or contemporaneously
are paid or declared and set apart for payment to the last date
to which such dividends are payable. Whenever all accumulated
dividends are not paid in full upon the Series B Preferred Stock
or any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with
the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, all
dividends declared or other distributions made upon shares of
Series B Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock
ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends shall be declared or made pro rata so that
the amount of dividends declared or other distributions made per
share on the Series B Preferred Stock and such other series of
Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same
ratio that accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and such other series of
Preferred Stock bear to each other. Any dividend paid upon the
Series B Preferred Stock at a time when any accumulated dividends
for any prior period are delinquent shall be expressly declared
as a dividend in whole or partial payment of the accumulated
dividend for the earliest period for which dividends are then
delinquent, and shall be so designated to each stockholder to
whom payment is made.
(d) Whenever all accumulated dividends are not paid in full
upon the Series B Preferred Stock, no stock of the Corporation
ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends may be redeemed (pursuant to a sinking fund
or otherwise), purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration by the Corporation except (i) by means of a
redemption pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the Series
B Preferred Stock and all Preferred Stock of the Corporation
ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends are redeemed or pursuant to which a pro rata
redemption is made from all holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock and all Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking on a
parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of
dividends, the amount allocable to each series of such stock
being determined on the basis of the aggregate liquidation
preference of the outstanding shares of each series and the
shares of each series being redeemed only on a pro rata basis, or
(ii) by conversion of such parity Preferred Stock into, or
exchange of such parity Preferred Stock for, stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up.
(e) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation
could, under paragraphs (a)-(d) of this Section 2, and paragraph
(c) of Section 3, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at
such time and in such manner.
3. Optional Redemptions.
(a) The Corporation may, at its option, at any time, redeem
all, or any number less than all, of the outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock. Any redemption of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be effected at the prices set forth below:
If Redeemed During the Redemption Price
Twelve Month Period Beginning Per Share
October 30, 1986 $53.50
October 30, 1987 $53.15
October 30, 1988 $52.80
October 30, 1989 $52.45

October 30, 1993 $51.05
October 30, 1994 $50.70
October 30, 1995 $50.35
and thereafter at $50.00 per share plus, in each case, an amount
equal to all dividends (whether or not declared or due) accrued
and unpaid on such share of Series B Preferred Stock to the date
fixed for redemption.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series B Preferred
Stock may not be redeemed prior to October 30, 1989 unless the
Closing Price (as hereinafter defined) of the Corporation's
Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share (the "Common Stock"), has
equaled or exceeded 150% of the then effective Conversion Price
(as defined in Section 4 below), for at least 20 trading days
within 30 consecutive trading days ending within five trading
days prior to the date upon which notice of redemption is first
issued. The "Closing Price" for each day shall be the reported
last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid
and asked prices regular way, in either case as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape, or, if at any time the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such
Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System, or, if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-
counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member
firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors or an
Authorized Board Committee for such purpose.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3, and subject to the provisions of Section 2 hereof,
whenever all accumulated dividends are not paid in full upon the
Series B Preferred Stock, no shares of the Series B Preferred
Stock may be redeemed (pursuant to a sinking fund or otherwise),
purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration by the
Corporation, except (i) by means of a redemption pursuant to
which all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are
simultaneously redeemed or pursuant to which the outstanding
shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are redeemed on a pro rata
basis or (ii) by conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
into, or exchange of such shares for, Common Stock or any other
stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred
Stock as to payment of dividends and upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up.
(d) Notice of any proposed redemption of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be given by the Corporation by mailing a
copy of such notice no less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for such redemption to holders of record
of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their
respective addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation.
Said notice shall specify (i) the shares called for redemption,
(ii) the redemption price, (iii) the place at which and the date
on which the shares called for redemption will, upon presentation
and surrender of the certificates of stock evidencing such
shares, be redeemed and the redemption price therefor paid and
(iv) the then effective Conversion Price (as defined in Section 4
below) and that the right of holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock being redeemed to exercise their conversion right
shall terminate as to such shares at the close of business on the
date fixed for redemption (provided that no default by the
Corporation in the payment of the redemption price (including any
accrued and unpaid dividends) shall have occurred and be
continuing). Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3(c) hereof,
in the case of the redemption of less than all the outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will select
by lot the shares to be redeemed among all then outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock in such manner as may be
prescribed by the Board of Directors or an Authorized Board
Committee. From and after the date fixed in any such notice as
the date of redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
unless default shall be made by the Corporation in providing
monies at the time and place specified for the payment of the
redemption price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends)
pursuant to such notice, all dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock thereby called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to
be outstanding and all rights of the holders thereof as
stockholders of the Corporation, except the right to receive the
redemption price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends),
shall cease and terminate.
(e) The holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock
redeemed upon any exercise of the Corporation's redemption right
shall not be entitled to receive payment of the redemption price
for such shares until such holder shall cause to be delivered to
the place specified in the notice given with respect to such
redemption (i) the certificates representing such shares of
Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) transfer instrument(s)
satisfactory to the Corporation and sufficient to transfer such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation free of any
adverse interest. No interest shall accrue on the redemption
price of any share of Series B Preferred Stock after the date
fixed for its redemption.
(f) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall at
any time have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have
the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock,
without designation as to series, and the number of shares of
Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to
issue shall not be decreased by the redemption of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock.
4. Conversion Rights.
(a) Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be
convertible at the option of the holder thereof at any time
(except that if any such share shall have been called for
redemption or exchange, then, as to such share, such right shall
terminate at the close of business on the date fixed for such
redemption or exchange, unless default shall be made by the
Corporation in making the payment due upon redemption or in
issuing the debentures due in exchange) into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of each share of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be equal to $50 divided by the Conversion
Price then in effect. The Conversion Price initially shall be
$34.00; provided, however, that the Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in certain instances as
hereinafter provided.
(b) The Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of Series
B Preferred Stock shall be Common Stock of the Corporation, par
value $2.50 per share, as constituted at the date of this
certificate, except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (i)
and (vii) of paragraph (4)(e), and in paragraph 4(f).
(c) In order for any holder of Series B Preferred Stock to
convert the same into Common Stock, such holder shall surrender
the certificate or certificates for such Series B Preferred Stock
at the office of the Transfer Agent for the Series B Preferred
Stock during usual business hours, which certificate or
certificates, if the Corporation shall so request, shall be duly
endorsed to the Corporation or in blank, or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer to the Corporation or in blank, and shall
give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he
elects so to convert such Series B Preferred Stock, and state in
writing therein the name or names in which he wishes the
certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued.
Shares of Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion
during the period from the close of business on any record date
for the payment of dividends next preceding any Dividend Payment
Date to the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date
shall (except in the case of shares which have been called for
redemption on a redemption date within such period) be
accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other
funds acceptable to the Corporation of an amount equal to the
dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date on the shares
being surrendered for conversion.
(d) The Corporation will, as soon as practicable after such
deposit of certificates for Series B Preferred Stock accompanied
by the written notice and the statement above prescribed and the
payment of any amount required by the provisions of paragraph
(4)(c), deliver at said office to the person for whose account
such Series B Preferred Stock was so surrendered, or to his
nominee or nominees, certificates for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid, together
with any cash adjustment of any fraction of a share as
hereinafter provided. Subject to the following provisions of
this paragraph, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such
surrender of the Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, and
the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock
shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders
of such Common Stock on such date. The Corporation shall not be
required to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock while
the stock transfer books of the Corporation are closed for any
purpose; but the surrender of Series B Preferred Stock for
conversion during any period while such books are so closed shall
become effective for conversion upon reopening of such books, as
if the surrender had been made immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of such reopening, and conversion shall be
at the Conversion Price in effect at such date. Except as
provided in the last sentence of paragraph (4)(c), no adjustments
in respect of, or payments of dividends on, shares surrendered
for conversion or any dividend on the Common Stock issued upon
conversion, shall be made upon the conversion of any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if any shares
shall be converted subsequent to the close of business on the
record date next preceding a Dividend Payment Date (except shares
called for redemption between such record date and Dividend
Payment Date) the registered holder of such shares at the close
of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the
dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend Payment Date
notwithstanding the conversion thereof or the Corporation's
default on payment of the dividend due on such Dividend Payment
Date.
(e) The Conversion Price shall he subject to adjustment as
follows:
(i) In case the Corporation shall (A) pay a dividend
on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
at the time of the record date of such dividend, or the effective
date of such subdivision or combination, as the case may be,
shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any
Series B Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such
time shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares
which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive had
such Series B Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to
such time. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever
any event listed above shall occur and shall become effective
retroactively to immediately after the record date of such
dividend or immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination.
(ii) Unless the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be permitted to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock on the same basis as if theretofore
converted into Common Stock, in case the Corporation shall issue
rights (other than those rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to
that certain Rights Agreement dated as of March 4, 1986, between
the Corporation and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as
Rights Agent) or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current
Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on such
record date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted to equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase pursuant to such rights or warrants and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total
number of shares so offered pursuant to such rights or warrants
would purchase at such Current Market Price. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are
issued, and shall become effective retroactively to immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however,
in the event that all the shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of
such rights or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights or
warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the
numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the
resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of
Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights
or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase. For the purposes of this
subparagraph (ii), 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.
(iii) In case the Corporation shall distribute to all
holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other
than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or assets of the
Corporation (excluding dividends paid in, or distributions of,
cash from the retained earnings of the Corporation) or
subscription rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
securities of the Corporation (excluding those referred to in
subparagraph (ii) above and excluding the Rights as defined in
subparagraph (ii) above), then in each such case the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by dividing
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such
record date and of which the denominator shall be such Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock less the fair market value
(as determined by the Board of Directors or an Authorized Board
Committee thereof, whose determination shall be conclusive) of
the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness,
assets or subscription rights or warrants distributed applicable
to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any such distribution is made, and shall
become effective retroactively to immediately after such record
date.
(iv) For the purpose of any computation under
subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above, the "Current Market Price"
per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the
average of the daily Closing Prices (as defined in paragraph
3(b)) for the thirty consecutive trading days commencing
forty-five business days before such date.
(v) In any case in which this paragraph 4(e) shall
require that an adjustment as a result of any event becomes
effective retroactively to immediately after a record date or
effective date for such event, the Corporation may elect to defer
until after the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the
holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted after
such record date and before the occurrence of such event the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to
adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in cash in
lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to paragraph
4(g) below; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which and
the cash the payment of which is so deferred, the Corporation
shall issue or cause its Transfer Agent to issue due bills or
other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares
and such cash.
(vi) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided,
however, that the Corporation may make any such adjustment at its
election; and provided further, however, that any adjustments
which by reason of this subparagraph (vi) are not made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph 4(e) shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a
share, as the case may be. Anything in this paragraph 4(e)
notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such
decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required
by this paragraph 4(e), as it in its discretion shall determine
to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision or
combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to
purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities
convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the
Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
(vii) In the event that any of the Rights (as defined
in subparagraph 4(e)(ii)) are at any time exercised by the
holders thereof and such exercise equitably requires an
adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the kind of securities
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, such
adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors. In such
case, the determination of the Board of Directors as to whether
an adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the kind of
securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock is required, the amount and nature of any such adjustment,
and the effective date of any such adjustment shall be
conclusive.
(viii) If the Corporation makes any distribution,
dividend, issuance of rights or warrants or subdivision,
combination or reclassification of or on the Common Stock, or any
security to which the conversion right addressed in this Section
4 then applies, which is not covered by any of the preceding
provisions of this paragraph (e) and which equitably requires an
adjustment in the Conversion Price, such adjustment shall be made
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In
such case, the determination of the Board of Directors as to
whether an adjustment in the Conversion Price is required, the
amount of any such adjustment, and the effective date of any such
adjustment shall be conclusive.
(f) In case of any consolidation of the Corporation into,
or merger of the Corporation with or into, any other corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is
the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common
Stock), or in case of any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or in case of
any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination, but including any reclassification of
the Common Stock into two or more classes), or in case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation
(including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a
third corporation into the Corporation), the holder of each share
of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
reclassification, change or statutory exchange by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which
such share of Series B Preferred Stock might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
reclassification, change or statutory exchange (assuming that the
holder of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, as a holder of
Common Stock prior to such transaction, would not have exercised
any rights of election as a holder of Common Stock as to the kind
or amount of shares of stock and other securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, reclassification, change or statutory exchange;
provided, that if the kind or amount of shares of stock and other
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, reclassification, change
or statutory exchange is not the same for each non-electing share
of Common Stock, then the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities, cash and other property receivable shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable by a plurality of
the non-electing shares). In any such event, effective provision
shall be made, in the articles or certificate of incorporation of
the resulting or surviving corporation or other corporation
issuing or delivering such shares, other securities, cash or
other property or otherwise, so that the provisions set forth
herein for the protection of the conversion rights of the Series
B Preferred Stock shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
reasonably may be, to any such other shares of stock and other
securities, cash and other property deliverable upon conversion
of the Series B Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or other
convertible stock or securities received by the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock in place thereof; and any such resulting
or surviving corporation or other corporation issuing or
delivering such shares, other securities, cash and other property
shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver, upon the
exercise of the conversion privilege, such shares, securities,
cash and other property as the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock remaining outstanding, or other convertible stock or
securities received by the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock in place thereof, shall be entitled to receive, pursuant to
the provisions hereof, and to make provision for the protection
of the conversion right as above provided. In case shares of
stock, securities, cash or other property other than Common Stock
shall be issuable or deliverable upon conversion as aforesaid,
then all references to Common Stock in this paragraph 4 shall be
deemed to apply, so far as provided and as nearly as is
reasonable, to any such shares, other securities, cash or other
property. The above provisions shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers,
reclassifications, changes or statutory exchanges.
(g) No fractional interests in Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. If more
than one share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be surrendered
for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full
shares of Common Stock issuable by the Corporation upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock
which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any share of
Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation will pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount
equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price (as defined in
paragraph 3(b)) per share of Common Stock determined as of the
business day preceding the date of conversion.
(h) Whenever any adjustment is required in the Conversion
Price or the number or type of shares of stock or other
securities, cash or other property into which each share of
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, the Corporation shall
forthwith (A) file with the Transfer Agent for the Series B
Preferred Stock a statement describing in reasonable detail the
adjustment in the Conversion Price or conversion right, the date
on which the adjustment became effective and the facts requiring
such adjustment and (B) cause a copy of such statement to be
mailed to the holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(i) Upon any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, the shares so converted shall have the status of
authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without
designation as to series, and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall
not be decreased by the conversion of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and
keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized and unissued stock or stock held as treasury stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series
B Preferred Stock, such number of shares of its Common Stock, and
such number of Rights, as shall from time to time be sufficient
to effect the conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at such time outstanding. For the purpose of this
paragraph 4(i), the full number of shares of Common Stock, and
the full number of Rights, issuable upon the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be computed
as if at the time of computation of such number of shares of
Common Stock and such number of Rights all outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock were held by a single holder. The
Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware, increase the authorized number of
shares of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number
of shares of its Common Stock not outstanding shall not be
sufficient to permit the conversion of all the then outstanding
Series B Preferred Stock.
(j) The Corporation will pay any and all issue or other
taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series B Preferred Stock
pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required
to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue or delivery of Common Stock in a name other
than that in which the Series B Preferred Stock so converted was
registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless
and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Corporation the amount of such tax, or has established, to the
satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(k) Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value
of the Common Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in
order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully
paid and non assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion
Price as so adjusted.
(1) In case: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution) on its Common Stock (other than cash
dividends paid out of the retained earnings of the Corporation
and dividends payable in Common Stock); or (ii) the Corporation
shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock
of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
stock of any class or of any other rights or warrants; or (iii)
of any reclassification or change of the Common Stock of the
Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of its
outstanding Common Stock (but including any reclassification of
the Common Stock into two or more classes), or a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the
Corporation is a party or of any statutory exchange of securities
with another corporation and for which approval of any
stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation; or (iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such
case, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series B
Preferred Stock at least fifteen days prior to the applicable
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights or warrants or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or
warrants are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
statutory exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is
expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, statutory exchange,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, affect the
legality or validity of any action described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph 4(1).
5. Exchange.
(a) The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are
exchangeable, in whole but not in part, at the option of the
Corporation, on any Dividend Payment Date at any time on or after
October 30, 1988, to and including October 30, 2011, for the
Corporation's 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due October
30, 2011 (the "Debentures"); provided that on or prior to the
date of exchange the Corporation shall have paid to or set aside
for payment to the holders of outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock all accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of
exchange. Holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive $50.00 principal amount of
Debentures in exchange for each share of Series B Preferred Stock
held by them at the time of exchange. The Corporation will mail
to each holder of record of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at the address shown on the books of the Corporation
written notice of its intention to exchange no less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the exchange (the
"Exchange Date"). Each such notice shall state: (i) the
Exchange Date, (ii) the place or places where certificates for
such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for
exchange into Debentures and (iii) that dividends on the shares
of Series B Preferred Stock to be exchanged will cease to accrue
on such Exchange Date. Prior to giving notice of intention to
exchange, the Corporation shall execute and deliver with a bank
or trust company selected by the Corporation, an Indenture in
substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the Series B Preferred Stock with such
changes as may be required by law or usage. The Corporation will
cause the Debentures to be authenticated on the Exchange Date,
and the Corporation will pay interest on the Debentures at the
rate and on the dates specified in such Indenture from the
Exchange Date.
(b) If notice has been mailed as aforesaid, from and after
the Exchange Date (unless default shall be made by the
Corporation in issuing Debentures in exchange for, or making the
final dividend payment on, the outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock on the Exchange Date), dividends on the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue, and said shares
shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding, and all
rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation
(except the right to receive from the Corporation the Debentures
and the right to receive accrued and unpaid dividends on such
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Exchange Date) shall
cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said
notice of the certificates for any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock so exchanged (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer,
if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so
state), such shares shall be exchanged by the Corporation into
Debentures as aforesaid.
(c) All shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall at
any time have been exchanged for Debentures shall, after such
exchange, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of
Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, and the number
of shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall have
authority to issue shall not be decreased by the exchange of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock for Debentures.
6. Liquidation Rights.
Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
stockholders, the amount of $50.00 per share plus an amount equal
to all dividends (whether or not declared or due) on such shares
accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution,
before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common
Stock, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock or on
any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Series B
Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. For purposes of this Section 6, the
merger or consolidation of the Corporation or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets shall not be deemed
to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation. In the event the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to the holders of shares of the Series
B Preferred Stock upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full all
amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to this
Section 6, no such distributions shall be made upon account of
any shares of any other class or series of stock of the
Corporation ranking on a parity with the shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up
unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on
account of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, ratably,
in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which holders
of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. After the payment to the
holders of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the full
preferential amounts provided for in this Section 6, the holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or
claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
7. Voting Rights.
(a) Except as indicated in this Section 7 and in Section 8
and in accordance with applicable law, the holders of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.
(b) If at any time dividends payable on the Series B
Preferred Stock, or on any one or more other series of Preferred
Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive cumulative preferred
dividends, are in arrears and unpaid in an amount equal to or
exceeding the amount of dividends payable thereon for six
quarterly dividend periods, the number of members of the Board of
Directors shall increase by two, and the holders of the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will have the exclusive
right, voting separately as a class, to elect such two directors
of the Corporation at the next regular or special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation. Such voting right will continue
for the Preferred Stock until all dividends on the Series B
Preferred Stock and on such other series have been paid in full,
at which time such voting right of the holders of Preferred Stock
will terminate, subject to re-vesting in the event of a
subsequent arrearage. Upon any termination of the aforesaid
voting right, the term of office of all the directors elected by
holders of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class will
terminate and the number of members of the Board of Directors
shall decrease by two.
(c) In exercising the voting rights set forth herein or
when otherwise granted voting rights by operation of law, each
share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote.
8. Amendment.
This Certificate of Designations may be amended, altered or
repealed by the unilateral action of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation without the consent or vote of stockholders.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation (including this Certificate of
Designations) shall not be amended, altered or repealed in any
manner which would adversely alter or change the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock
without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of
two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series; provided, that
any increase in the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation
and issuance of any other class or series of Preferred Stock
ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred
Stock as to payment of dividends and upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up or any decrease in the number of shares
which constitute the Series B Preferred Stock (but not below the
number of shares thereof then outstanding) shall not be deemed to

______________________
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
______________________
The undersigned, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial
Officer of CBI Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(hereinafter called the "Corporation"), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that
the following resolution has been duly adopted by a duly
authorized special committee of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation (with Sections 6 and 7 of said resolution having been
previously determined and authorized by resolution of the Board
of Directors):
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted
to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
"Board of Directors") by the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, there hereby is created, out of
the 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Corporation
authorized in Article Fourth of its Certificate of Incorporation
(the "Preferred Stock"), a series of Preferred Stock of the
Corporation consisting of 3,945,000 shares, which series shall
have the following powers, designations, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the
following qualifications, limitations and restrictions (in
addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions, set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation which are applicable to the
Preferred Stock):
1. Designation; Number of Shares; Par Value; Rank.
The shares of such series shall be designated as
"Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, Series C" (the "Series C
Preferred Stock"). The number of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock shall be limited to 3,945,000. The par value of the Series
C Preferred Stock shall be $1.00 per share. The Series C
Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Common Stock and the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Corporation
(the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and shall rank on a parity with
the $3.50 Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series B of
the Corporation (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), in each case as
to payment of dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution and
winding up.
2. Dividends.
(a) The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof (an "Authorized
Board Committee"), out of funds legally available for the payment
of dividends, cumulative cash dividends in the amount of $2.27
per share per annum, and no more. Dividends shall accumulate and
be payable semiannually on the first day of March and September
in each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date" or collectively,
"Dividend Payment Dates"), commencing September 1, 1988, except
that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a business day in
Chicago, Illinois, then such semiannual dividend shall be payable
on the next succeeding business day and such next succeeding
business day shall be the Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on
the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall accrue and be
cumulative from the date of their original issue and will be
payable on each Dividend Payment Date to stockholders of record
on the record date, which shall be not more than 45 days nor less
than 10 days preceding such Dividend Payment Date, fixed for such
purpose by the Board of Directors or an Authorized Board
Committee in advance of such Dividend Payment Date. The amount
of dividends payable on shares of Series C Preferred Stock for
each full semiannual dividend period shall be computed by
dividing $2.27 by two. Dividends payable on the Series C
Preferred Stock for the initial dividend period and for any
period less than a full semiannual period shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Dividends
paid on shares of Series C Preferred Stock in an amount less than
the total amount of such dividends at the time accumulated and
payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a
share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time
outstanding.
(b) So long as any share of Series C Preferred Stock is
outstanding, unless all accumulated dividends on all outstanding
shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been paid or
contemporaneously are declared and paid through the last Dividend
Payment Date, no dividends shall be paid or declared and set
apart for payment or any other distribution made upon the Common
Stock or the Series A Preferred Stock or any other stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends (other than dividends paid or other
distributions made in stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up), nor shall any Common
Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or any other stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired
for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available
for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such
stock) by the Corporation (except by conversion of such junior
stock into or exchange of such junior stock for stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up).
(c) Except as hereinafter provided, no dividends shall be
paid or declared and set apart for payment or any other
distribution made (other then dividends paid or other
distributions made in stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) on the Preferred Stock of
any other series ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred
Stock as to payment of dividends for any period unless all
accumulated dividends on all outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and set apart for
payment or contemporaneously are paid or declared and set apart
for payment through the last Dividend Payment Date and no
dividends shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment or
any other distribution made (other then dividends paid or other
distributions made in stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) on the Series C Preferred
Stock unless all accumulated dividends on all outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock of all other series ranking on a parity with
the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends have been
paid or declared and set apart for payment or contemporaneously
are paid or declared and set apart for payment to the last date
to which such dividends are payable. Whenever all accumulated
dividends are not paid in full upon the Series C Preferred Stock
or any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with
the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends, all
dividends declared or other distributions made upon shares of
Series C Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock
ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends shall be declared or made pro rata so that
the amount of dividends declared or other distributions made per
share on the Series C Preferred Stock and such other series of
Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same
ratio that accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the
shares of Series C Preferred Stock and such other series of
Preferred Stock bear to each other. Any dividend paid upon the
Series C Preferred Stock at a time when any accumulated dividends
for any prior period are delinquent shall be expressly declared
as a dividend in whole or partial payment of the accumulated
dividend for the earliest period for which dividends are then
delinquent, and shall be so designated to each stockholder to
whom payment is made.
(d) Whenever all accumulated dividends are not paid in full
upon the Series C Preferred Stock, no stock of the Corporation
ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends may be redeemed (pursuant to a sinking fund
or otherwise), purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration by the Corporation except (i) by means of a
redemption pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the Series
C Preferred Stock and all Preferred Stock of the Corporation
ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends are redeemed or pursuant to which a pro rata
redemption is made from all holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock and all Preferred Stock of the Corporation ranking on a
parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to payment of
dividends, the amount allocable to each series of such stock
being determined on the basis of the aggregate liquidation
preference of the outstanding shares of each series and the
shares of each series being redeemed only on a pro rata basis, or
(ii) by conversion of such parity Preferred Stock into, or
exchange of such parity Preferred Stock for, stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to
payment of dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up.
(e) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation
could, under paragraphs (a)-(d) of this Section 2, purchase or
otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
3. Optional Redemptions.
(a) The Corporation may, at its option, at any time and
from time to time on or after May 1, 1990, redeem all, or any
number less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock. Any redemption of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock shall be effected at the prices set forth below:
If Redeemed During the Redemption Price
Twelve Month Period Beginning Per Share
May 1, 1990 $34.02
May 1, 1991 $33.70
May 1, 1992 $33.37
May 1, 1993 $33.05
May 1, 1994 $32.72
and thereafter at $32.40 per share plus, in each case, an amount
equal to all dividends (whether or not declared or due) accrued
and unpaid on such share of Series C Preferred Stock to the date
fixed for redemption.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 3, and subject to the provisions of Section 2 hereof,
whenever all accumulated dividends are not paid in full upon the
Series C Preferred Stock, no shares of the Series C Preferred
Stock may be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration by the Corporation, except by means of a redemption
pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed or pursuant to which
the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock are
redeemed on a pro rata basis.
(c) Notice of any proposed redemption of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3 shall be given by the
Corporation by mailing a copy of such notice no less than 30 days
nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption
to holders of record of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to
be redeemed at their respective addresses appearing on the books
of the Corporation. Such notice shall specify (i) the shares
called for redemption, (ii) the redemption price and (iii) the
place at which and the date on which the shares called for
redemption will, upon presentation and surrender of the
certificates of stock evidencing such shares, be redeemed and the
redemption price therefor paid. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 3(b) hereof, in the case of the redemption of less than
all the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the
Corporation will select the shares to be redeemed among all then
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock in such manner as
may be prescribed by the Board of Directors or an Authorized
Board Committee. From and after the date fixed in any such
notice as the date of redemption of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, unless the Corporation shall default in providing monies
at the time and place specified for the payment of the redemption
price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends) pursuant to
such notice, all dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock
thereby called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such shares
of Series C Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders
of the Corporation, except the right to receive the redemption
price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends), shall cease
and terminate.
(d) The holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
redeemed pursuant to this Section 3 upon any exercise of the
Corporation's redemption right shall not be entitled to receive
payment of the redemption price for such shares until such holder
shall cause to be delivered to the place specified in the notice
given with respect to such redemption (i) the certificate or
certificates representing such shares of Series C Preferred Stock
and (ii) transfer instrument(s) satisfactory to the Corporation
and sufficient to transfer such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock to the Corporation free of any adverse interest. No
interest shall accrue on the redemption price of any share of
Series C Preferred Stock after the date fixed for its redemption.
(e) All shares of Series C Preferred Stock which shall at
any time have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have
the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock,
without designation as to series, and the number of shares of
Preferred Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to
issue shall not be decreased by the redemption of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock.
4. Conversion Rights.
(a) Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
convertible at the option of the holder thereof at any time
(except that if any such share shall have been called for
redemption, then, as to such share, such right shall terminate at
the close of business on the date two business days prior to the
date fixed for such redemption, unless default shall be made by
the Corporation in making the payment due upon redemption) into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number
of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of each share of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be equal to $32.40 divided by the
Conversion Price then in effect. The Conversion Price initially
shall be $32.40; provided, however, that the Conversion Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in certain
instances as hereinafter provided.
(b) The Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of Series
C Preferred Stock shall be Common Stock of the Corporation, par
value $2.50 per share, as constituted at the date of this
certificate, except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (i)
and (vii) of paragraph 4(e), and in paragraph 4(f).
(c) In order for any holder of Series C Preferred Stock to
convert the same into Common Stock, such holder shall surrender
the certificate or certificates for such Series C Preferred Stock
at the office of the Transfer Agent for the Series C Preferred
Stock during usual business hours, which certificate or
certificates, if the Corporation shall so request, shall be duly
endorsed to the Corporation or in blank, or accompanied by proper
instruments of transfer to the Corporation or in blank, and shall
give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he
elects so to convert such Series C Preferred Stock, and state in
writing therein the name or names in which he wishes the
certificate or certificates for Common Stock to be issued.
(d) The Corporation will, as soon as practicable after such
deposit of certificates for Series C Preferred Stock accompanied
by the written notice and the statement above prescribed, deliver
at said office, to the person for whose account such Series C
Preferred Stock was so surrendered, or to his nominee or
nominees, certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with any
cash adjustment of any fraction of a share as hereinafter
provided. Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph,
such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately
prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of
the Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or
persons entitled to receive the Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion of such Series C Preferred Stock shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock
on such date. The Corporation shall not be required to convert
any shares of Series C Preferred Stock while the stock transfer
books of the Corporation are closed for any purpose; but the
surrender of Series C Preferred Stock for conversion during any
period while such books are so closed shall become effective for
conversion upon reopening of such books, as if the surrender had
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date
of such reopening, and conversion shall be at the Conversion
Price in effect at such date.
(e) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(i) In case the Corporation shall (A) pay a dividend
on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
at the time of the record date of such dividend, or the effective
date of such subdivision or combination, as the case may be,
shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any
Series C Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such
time shall be entitled to receive the number and kind of shares
which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive had
such Series C Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to
such time. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever
any event listed above shall occur and shall become effective
retroactively to immediately after the record date of such
dividend or immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination.
(ii) Unless the holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be permitted to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock on the same basis as if theretofore
converted into Common Stock, in case the Corporation shall issue
rights (other than those rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to
that certain Rights Agreement dated as of March 4, 1986, between
the Corporation and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as
Rights Agent) or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants) to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current
Market Price (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on such
record date, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted to equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or
purchase pursuant to such rights or warrants and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of
Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total
number of shares so offered pursuant to such rights or warrants
would purchase at such Current Market Price. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such rights or warrants are
issued, and shall become effective retroactively to immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however,
in the event that all the shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of
such rights or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights or
warrants the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the
numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the
resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of
Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights
or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of Common Stock
offered for subscription or purchase. For the purposes of this
subparagraph (ii), 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.
(iii) In case the Corporation shall distribute to all
holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other
than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or assets of the
Corporation (excluding dividends paid in, or distributions of,
cash from the retained earnings of the Corporation) or
subscription rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
securities of the Corporation (excluding those referred to in
subparagraph (ii) above and excluding the Rights as defined in
subparagraph (ii) above), then in each such case the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by dividing
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such
record date and of which the denominator shall be such Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock less the fair market value
(as determined by the Board of Directors or an Authorized Board
Committee thereof, whose determination shall be conclusive) of
the portion of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness,
assets or subscription rights or warrants distributed applicable
to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any such distribution is made, and shall
become effective retroactively to immediately after such record
date.
(iv) For the purpose of any computation under
subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above, the "Current Market Price"
per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the
average of the daily Closing Prices for the thirty consecutive
trading days commencing forty-five business days before such
date. The "Closing Price" for each day shall be the reported
last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid
and asked prices regular way, in either case as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape, or, if at any time the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such
Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which
the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System, or, if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-
the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange
member firm selected from time to time by the Board of Directors
or an Authorized Board Committee for such purpose.
(v) In any case in which this paragraph 4(e) shall
require that an adjustment as a result of any event becomes
effective retroactively to immediately after a record date or
effective date for such event, the Corporation may elect to defer
until after the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the
holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock converted after
such record date and before the occurrence of such event the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to
adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in cash in
lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to paragraph
4(g) below; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which and
the cash the payment of which is so deferred, the Corporation
will cause its Transfer Agent to issue due bills or other
appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares and such
cash.
(vi) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided,
however, that the Corporation may make any such adjustment at its
election; and provided further, however, that any adjustments
which by reason of this subparagraph (vi) are not made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph 4(e) shall be
made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a
share, as the case may be. Anything in this paragraph 4(e)
notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such
decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required
by this paragraph 4(e), as it in its discretion shall determine
to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision or
combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to
purchase stock or securities, or distribution of Securities
convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the
Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
(vii) In the event that any of the Rights (as defined
in subparagraph 4(e)(ii)) are at any time exercised by the
holders thereof and such exercise equitably requires an
adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the kind of securities
issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, such
adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors. In such
case, the determination of the Board of Directors as to whether
an adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the kind of
securities issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred
Stock is required, the amount and nature of any such adjustment,
and the effective date of any such adjustment shall be
conclusive.
(viii) If the Corporation makes any distribution,
dividend, issuance of rights or warrants or subdivision,
combination or reclassification of or on the Common Stock, or any
security to which the conversion right addressed in this Section
4 then applies, which is not covered by any of the preceding
provisions of this paragraph (e) and which equitably requires an
adjustment in the Conversion Price, such adjustment shall be made
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. In
such case, the determination of the Board of Directors as to
whether an adjustment in the Conversion Price is required, the
amount of any such adjustment, and the effective date of any such
adjustment shall be conclusive.
(f) In case of any consolidation of the Corporation into,
or merger of the Corporation with or into, any other corporation
(other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is
the continuing corporation and which does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common
Stock), or in case of any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or in case of
any reclassification or change of outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination, but including any reclassification of
the Common Stock into two or more classes), or in case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation
(including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a
third corporation into the Corporation), the holder of each share
of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
reclassification, change or statutory exchange by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which
such share of Series C Preferred Stock might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
reclassification, change or statutory exchange (assuming that the
holder of such share of Series C Preferred Stock, as a holder of
Common Stock prior to such transaction, would not have exercised
any rights of election as a holder of Common Stock as to the kind
or amount of shares of stock and other securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, reclassification, change or statutory exchange;
provided, that if the kind or amount of shares of stock and other
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, reclassification, change
or statutory exchange is not the same for each non-electing share
of Common Stock, then the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities, cash and other property receivable shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable by a plurality of
the non-electing shares). In any such event, effective provision
shall be made, in the articles or certificate of incorporation of
the resulting or surviving corporation or other corporation
issuing or delivering such shares, other securities, cash or
other property or otherwise, so that the provisions set forth
herein for the protection of the conversion rights of the Series
C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as
reasonably may be, to any such other shares of stock and other
securities, cash and other property deliverable upon conversion
of the Series C Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or other
convertible stock or securities received by the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock in place thereof; and any such resulting
or surviving corporation or other corporation issuing or
delivering such shares, other securities, cash and other property
shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver, upon the
exercise of the conversion privilege, such shares, securities,
cash and other property as the holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock remaining outstanding, or other convertible stock or
securities received by the holders of the Series C Preferred
Stock in place thereof, shall be entitled to receive, pursuant to
the provisions hereof, and to make provision for the protection
of the conversion right as above provided. In case shares of
stock, securities, cash or other property other than Common Stock
shall be issuable or deliverable upon conversion as aforesaid,
then all references to Common Stock in this paragraph 4 shall be
deemed to apply, so far as provided and as nearly as is
reasonable, to any such shares, other securities, cash or other
property. The above provisions shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers,
reclassifications, changes or statutory exchanges.
(g) No fractional interests in Common Stock shall be issued
upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. If more
than one share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be surrendered
for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full
shares of Common Stock issuable by the Corporation upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock
which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any share of
Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount
equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price per share of
Common Stock determined as of the business day preceding the date
of conversion.
(h) Whenever any adjustment is required in the Conversion
Price or the number or type of shares of stock or other
securities, cash or other property into which each share of
Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, the Corporation shall
forthwith (A) file with each of the Transfer Agent for the Series
C Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent for the Common Stock a
statement describing in reasonable detail the adjustment in the
Conversion Price or conversion right, the date on which the
adjustment became effective and the facts requiring such
adjustment and (B) cause a copy of such statement to be mailed to
the holders of record of the Series C Preferred Stock.
(i) Upon any conversion of shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, the shares so converted shall have the status of
authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without
designation as to series, and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue shall
not be decreased by the conversion of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and
keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized and unissued stock or stock held as treasury stock,
solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series
C Preferred Stock, such number of shares of its Common Stock, and
such number of Rights, as shall from time to time be sufficient
to effect the conversion of all shares of Series C Preferred
Stock at such time outstanding. For the purpose of this
paragraph 4(i), the full number of shares of Common Stock, and
the full number of Rights, issuable upon the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be computed
as if at the time of computation of such number of shares of
Common Stock and such number of Rights all outstanding shares of
Series C Preferred Stock were held by a single holder. The
Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware, increase the authorized number of
shares of its Common Stock if at any time the authorized number
of shares of its Common Stock not outstanding shall not be
sufficient to permit the conversion of all the then outstanding
Series C Preferred Stock.
(j) The Corporation will pay any and all issue or other
taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant hereto. The Corporation shall not, however, be required
to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue or delivery of Common Stock in a name other
than that in which the Series C Preferred Stock so converted was
registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless
and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Corporation the amount of such tax, or has established, to the
satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(k) Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value
of the Common Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate
action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in
order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion
Price as so adjusted.
(1) In case: (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution) on its Common Stock (other than cash
dividends paid out of the retained earnings of the Corporation
and dividends payable in Common Stock); or (ii) the Corporation
shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock
of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of
stock of any class or of any other rights or warrants; or (iii)
of any reclassification or change of the Common Stock of the
Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of its
outstanding Common Stock (but including any reclassification of
the Common Stock into two or more classes), or a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the
Corporation is a party or of any statutory exchange of securities
with another corporation and for which approval of any
stockholders of the Corporation is required, or of the sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation; or (iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; then, in each such
case, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series C
Preferred Stock at least fifteen days prior to the applicable
date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution of rights or warrants or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record
to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or
warrants are to be determined, or (B) the date on which such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
statutory exchange, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is
expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled
to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, statutory exchange,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, affect the
legality or validity of any action described in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) of this paragraph 4(1).
(m) Immediately upon the Trustee (or any successor) of the
CBI Salaried Employee Stock Ownership Trust (1987) (the
"Trustee") ceasing to be the holder of record of any share of
Series C Preferred Stock (except in the case of the redemption or
repurchase of shares by the Corporation), such share of Series C
Preferred Stock will automatically, without any act or deed on
the part of the Corporation or any other person, be converted
into the number of shares of Common Stock (or, if by virtue of
subparagraphs 4(e)(i) or 4(e)(vii), or paragraph 4(f), such share
of Series C Preferred Stock is then convertible into securities
or assets other than Common Stock, then the number or amount of
such other securities or assets), together with any cash
adjustment required by paragraph 4(g), into which it would then
be convertible if such share were voluntarily presented for
conversion in accordance with the other provisions of this
Section 4. To the extent applicable, the other provisions of
this Section 4 shall govern any automatic conversion pursuant to
this paragraph 4(m), subject to the following:
(i) any share surrendered for transfer by the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been surrendered for conversion by the
transferee prior to the close of business on the day such share
is transferred into the transferee's name on the books of the
Corporation;
(ii) no notice of conversion need be submitted by
either the Trustee or its transferee in order to effect the
automatic conversion provided for hereby;
(iii) notwithstanding any provision of paragraph 4(a),
each share of Series C Preferred Stock is subject to automatic
conversion pursuant to this paragraph 4(m) at any time prior to
such share having been redeemed or otherwise purchased by the
Corporation; and
(iv) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4(j),
the Corporation shall be responsible for the payment of any tax
payable in connection with any transfer of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock which results in the automatic conversion of such
shares pursuant to this paragraph 4(m).
5. Liquidation Rights.
Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the
Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
stockholders, an amount per share equal to, $32.40, plus in each
case an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not declared or
due) on such shares accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of
final distribution, before any payment or distribution shall be
made on the Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock or on any
other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Series C
Preferred Stock with respect to distributions upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. For purposes of this Section 5, the
merger or consolidation of the Corporation or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets shall not be deemed
to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation. In the event the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to the holders of shares of the Series
C Preferred Stock upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full all
amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to this
Section 5, no such distributions shall be made upon account of
any shares of Series C Preferred Stock or of any other class or
series of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the
shares of the Series C Preferred Stock upon such dissolution,
liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive
amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of the Series C
Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable
amounts to which holders of all such parity shares are
respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or
winding up. After the payment to the holders of the shares of
the Series C Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts
provided for in this Section 5, the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of
the remaining assets of the Corporation.
6. Voting Rights.
(a) In addition to any voting rights provided by applicable
law or elsewhere in this Section 6, the holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote upon all
matters upon which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to
vote and shall vote together with the holders of shares of Common
Stock (and of any other class or series which may similarly be
entitled to vote with the shares of Common Stock, if any) as a
single class. For the purpose of any vote contemplated by this
paragraph 6(a), each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which such share of Series C Preferred Stock
could then be converted (including for such purpose any
fractional share into which it could then be converted were it
not for the provisions of paragraph 4(g)) pursuant to the
provisions of Section 4 hereof on the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matters.
(b) If at any time dividends payable on the Series
C Preferred Stock, or on any one or more other series of
Preferred Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive cumulative
preferred dividends, are in arrears and unpaid in an amount equal
to or exceeding the amount of dividends payable thereon for six
quarterly dividend periods (assuming for this purpose only that
dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are paid quarterly
rather than semiannually), the number of members of the Board of
Directors shall increase by two, and the holders of the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will have the exclusive
right, voting separately as a class, to elect such two directors
of the Corporation at the next regular or special meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation. Such voting right will continue
for the Preferred Stock until all dividends on the Series C
Preferred Stock and on such other series have been paid in full,
at which time such voting right of the holders of Preferred Stock
will terminate, subject to re-vesting in the event of a
subsequent arrearage. Upon any termination of the aforesaid
voting right, the term of office of all the directors elected by
holders of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class will
terminate and the number of members of the Board of Directors
shall decrease by two.
7. Amendment.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
(including this Certificate of Designations) shall not be
amended, altered or repealed in any manner which would adversely
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the
Series C Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series
C Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series; provided, that
any increase in the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation
and issuance of any other class or series of Preferred Stock
ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred
Stock as to payment of dividends and upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up or any decrease in the number of shares
which constitute the Series C Preferred Stock (but not below the
number of shares thereof then outstanding) shall not be deemed to
adversely alter or change such powers, preferences or special
rights.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this
Certificate of Designations to be duly executed on its behalf by
its undersigned Executive Vice President & Chief Financial
Officer and attested to by its Secretary this 18th day of April,
1988.
