ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
(A) AMENDMENT TO REGISTRANT'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Company Board of Directors by unanimous written consent of board of
directors and statement of majority consent of shareholders effective the 25th
day of October, 1996, adopted a resolution to amend the Articles of
Incorporation as follows:
Article I is hereby amended to read as follows:
The name of this Corporation is Superior Wireless Communications,
Inc.
Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation is hereby amended to read as
follows:
The aggregate number of shares of all classes of capital stock which
the Corporation has authority to issue is 65,000,000 of which 50,000,000 are
to be shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, and of which
15,000,000 are to be shares of serial preferred stock, $.001 par value per
share. The shares may be issued by the Corporation from time to time as
approved by the board of directors of the Corporation without the approval of
the stockholders except as otherwise provided in this Article V or the rules
of a national securities exchange if applicable. The consideration for the
issuance of the shares shall be paid to or received by the Corporation in full
before their issuance and shall not be less than the par value per share. The
consideration for the issuance of the shares shall be cash, services rendered,
personal property (tangible or intangible), real property, leases of real
property or any combination of the foregoing. In the absence of actual fraud
in the transaction, the judgment of the board of directors as to the value of
such consideration shall be conclusive. Upon payment of such consideration
such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. In the case
of a stock dividend, the part of the surplus of the Corporation which is
transferred to stated capital upon the issuance of shares as a stock dividend
shall be deemed to be the consideration for their issuance.
A description of the different classes and series (if any) of the
Corporation's capital stock, and a statement of the relative powers,
designations, preferences and rights of the shares of each class and series
(if any) of capital stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, are as follows:
A. Common Stock. Except as provided in this Certificate, the
holders of the common stock shall exclusively posses all voting power.
Subject to the provisions of this Certificate, each holder of shares of common
stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holders.
Whenever there shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for
payment, to the holders of the outstanding shares of any class or series of
stock having preference over the common stock as to the payment of dividends,
the full amount of dividends and sinking fund or retirement fund or other
retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively entitled
in preference to the common stock, then dividends may be paid on the common
stock, and on any class or series of stock entitled to participate therewith
as to dividends, out of any assets legally available for the payment of
dividends, but only when and as declared by the board of directors of the
Corporation.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, after there shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for
payment, to the holders of the outstanding shares of any class having
preference over the common stock in any such event, the full preferential
amounts to which they are respectively entitled, the holders of the common
stock and of any class or series of stock entitled to participate therewith,
in whole or in part, as to distribution of assets shall be entitled, after
payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the
Corporation, to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for
distribution, in cash or in kind.
Each share of common stock shall have the same relative powers,
preferences and rights as, and shall be identical in all respects with, all
the other shares of common stock of the Corporation.
B. Serial Preferred Stock. Except as provided in this Certificate,
the board of directors of the Corporation is authorized, by resolution or
resolutions from time to time adopted, to provide for the issuance of serial
preferred stock in series and to fix and state the powers, designations,
preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of
the shares of each such series, and the qualifications, limitation or
restrictions thereof, including, but not limited to determination of any of
the following:
(1) the distinctive serial designation and the number of shares
constituting such series;
(2) the rights in respect of dividends, if any, to be paid on
the shares of such series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so,
from which date or dates, the payment or date or dates for dividends, and the
participating or other special rights, if any, with respect to dividends;
(3) the voting powers, full or limited, if any, of the shares of
such series;
(4) whether the shares of such series shall be redeemable and,
if so, the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions upon which
such shares may be redeemed;
(5) the amount or amounts payable upon the shares of such series
in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Corporation;
(6) whether the shares of such series shall be entitled to the
benefits of a sinking or retirement fund to be applied to the purchase or
redemption of such shares, and, if so entitled, the amount of such fund and
the manner of its application, including the price or prices at which such
shares may be redeemed or purchased through the application of such funds;
(7) whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into,
or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series
of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation and, if
so convertible or exchangeable, the conversion price or prices, or the rate or
rates of exchange, and the adjustments thereof, if any, at which such
conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of such
conversion or exchange;
(8) the subscription or purchase price and form of consideration
for which the shares of such series shall be issued; and
(9) whether the shares of such series which are redeemed or
converted shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of serial
preferred stock and whether such shares may be reissued as shares of the same
or any other series of serial preferred stock.
Each share of each series of serial preferred stock shall have the same
relative powers, preferences and rights as, and shall be identical in all
respects with, all the other shares of the Corporation of the same series,
except the times from which dividends on shares which may be issued from time
to time of any such series may begin to accrue.
(B) EXCHANGE OF PREFERRED STOCK FOR COMMON STOCK
The Company Board of Directors by unanimous written consent of board of
directors and statement of majority consent of shareholders effective the 25th
day of October, 1996, adopted a resolution authorizing the exchange of Series
A Preferred Stock for Common Stock as follows:
Each of the 6,004,836 shares of presently issued and outstanding common
stock of the Corporation be exchanged for one share of preferred stock
designated as Class A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Class A
Preferred Stock"), par value of $.001 per share, with the following rights and
preferences:
1. Record Date. All common stockholders of record at the close
of business in New York, NY on the 17th day of October, 1996 ("the Record
Date") will exchange each share of common stock held for one share of Class A
Preferred Stock.
2. Dividends. The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock
("Holders") shall be entitled to cumulative preferential dividends, when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors quarter annually on November 15,
February 15, May 15 and August 15 each year in an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) per annum of the liquidation preference per share of $1.50. In the
event the Corporation has not filed a registration statement relating to the
Conversion Shares (as hereinafter defined) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"), after the Record Date for the exchange of the Class A
Preferred Stock by the Corporation and such registration statement is not
effective under the Act on the Conversion Date, the cumulative preferential
dividend rate shall be increased to twelve (12%) per annum of the liquidation
preference per share of $1.50. Dividends may be paid (to the extent
permissible under the Nevada Revised Statutes) to the Holders in cash or, at
the option of the Company, in shares (the "Dividend Shares") of common stock
of the Corporation, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") (based upon
the average last sale price of a share of Common Stock for the five (5)
trading days preceding the record date for a particular dividend) provided
that such Dividend Shares are covered by a current registration statement
which has been declared effective under the Act.
3. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, each
share of Class A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $1.50 per share.
4. Voting Rights. The Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each
five shares held upon any matters to which holders of common stock are
entitled to vote at the same time and in the same manner as the common
stockholders.
5. Redemption. The Class A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the
Corporation.
6. Conversion Into Common Stock. (a) Upon the earlier of: (i) 24
months after the Record Date for the exchange of Class A Preferred Stock for
common stock or (ii) 14 months after the effective date of a registration
statement under the Act covering a primary offering of not less than
$10,000,000 of common stock of the Corporation (the "Conversion Date") and
with no other action required by the Corporation or the Holder, the shares of
Class A Preferred Stock held by each Holder shall be converted into the next
highest number of whole shares of the Corporation's Common Stock (the
"Conversion Shares") as shall equal $1.50 plus all accrued and unpaid
dividends per share divided by 90% of the average daily closing prices for the
30 consecutive trading days commencing with the 35th trading day before the
Conversion Date (the "Conversion Price") subject to adjustment as set forth
below.
(b) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(i) In the event that the Corporation shall issue or sell shares of
its Common Stock (except for shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of
securities outstanding or issuable by the Company as of the date hereof) at a
price per share less that the then current Conversion Price (the "New Issue
Price"), the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the greater of the New Issue
Price or $1.25 per share; and
(ii) In the event that the Corporation's registration statement under
the Act registering the Conversion Shares is not effective on the Conversion
Date, the Conversion Price shall be subject to an additional reduction of 10%
for each 90-day delay in the effective date of such registration statement,
provided however that in no event shall the Conversion Price be less than
$1.25 per share.
(d) Promptly after the receipt of certificates representing Class A
Preferred Stock and surrender of Class A Preferred Stock, the Corporation
shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Holder a
certificate or certificates for the number of next highest number of whole
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Class A Preferred
Stock. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Class A
Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. To the extent permitted by law,
the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of
business on the Conversion Date (or on the next preceding business day if the
Conversion Date is not a business day) and at that time the rights of the
Holder, as such Holder, shall cease, and the holder shall become the Holder of
record of Conversion Shares.
(e) Upon any liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the right
of conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock shall terminate at the close of
business on the last full business day before the date fixed for payment of
the amount distributable in liquidation of the Class A Preferred Stock.
7. Registration Rights. Unless sooner registered, the Corporation
shall file a registration statement registering the Conversion Shares issuable
to the Holders of Class A Preferred Stock. In the event that the registration
statement is not effective on the Conversion Date, the Conversion Price will
be reduced as provided by Subsection 6(b) hereof, and dividends payable on the
Class A Preferred Stock will be increased as provided by Subsection 2 hereof.
8. Rank. With respect to the payment of dividends and upon
liquidation, the shares of the Class A Preferred Stock shall rank junior to
any other shares of Preferred Stock and senior to the shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation.
(C) INCENTIVE WARRANTS
The Company Board of Directors by unanimous written consent of board of
directors and statement of majority consent of shareholders effective the 25th
day of October, 1996, adopted a resolution authorizing the Corporation to
issue up to a total of 2,000,000 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock
for a price of $1.50 each.
The Directors, by appropriate resolution duly adopted, shall designate
the persons to whom the Warrants are to be issued and the price to be paid
therefor.

The Company Board of Directors by unanimous written consent and the
Company shareholders by majority written consent effective the 25th day of
October, 1996, adopted a resolution to amend the Micro-Lite Television, Inc.
Stock Option Plan as follows:
Section II of the Micro-Lite Television, Inc. Stock Option Plan effective
the 1st day of January, 1993 shall be amended so that subparagraph H reads as
follows:
"Plan" shall mean the Superior Wireless Communications, Inc. Stock Option
Plan.
The Micro-Lite Television, Inc. Stock Option Plan shall be amended by
deleting therefrom the following section:
VIII. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Except as provided in Article IX below, if a Participant ceases to
be employed by the Company, his Options shall terminate immediately;
provided, however, that if a Participant's cessation of employment with the
Company is due to his retirement with the consent of the Company, the
Participant may, at any time within three (3) months after such cessation of
employment, exercise his Options to the extent that he was entitled to
exercise them on the date of cessation of employment, but in no event shall
any Option be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date it was
granted. The Committee may cancel an Option during the three (3) month period
referred to in this paragraph, if the Participant engages in employment or
activities contrary, in the opinion of the Committee, to the best interests of
the Company. The Committee shall determine in each case whether a termination
of employment shall be considered a retirement with the consent of the
Company, and, subject to applicable law, whether a leave of absence shall
constitute a termination of employment. Any such determination of the
Committee shall be final and conclusive, unless overruled by the Board.
