OF
MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING, INC.
a California corporation
Andrew Wrobel and Denis Trafecanty certify that:
1. They are the President and the Secretary, respectively, of
MICROELECTRONIC PACKAGING, INC., a California corporation.
2. Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of this
corporation is amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE III
-----------
This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be
designated respectively "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The number of
shares of Common Stock this corporation is authorized to issue is Fifty Million
(50,000,000), without par value. The number of shares of Preferred Stock this
corporation is authorized to issue is 9,362,777, without par value, all of which
are designated as "Series A Preferred Stock."
1. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Common Stock.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on
this corporation's Common Stock are as follows:
A. Dividend Rights. Subject to any rights, preferences and
---------------
privileges that have been granted to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders
of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors, out of any assets of the corporation legally available
therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of
Directors.
B. Liquidation Rights. Subject to any rights, preferences and
------------------
privileges that have been granted to the Series A Preferred Stock, in the event
of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, the holders of shares of the Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive all of the assets of the corporation available for distribution to its
shareholders, ratable in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock
held by them.
C. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.
----------
D. Voting Rights. Subject to any rights, preferences and
-------------
privileges that have been granted to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders
of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters at all
meetings of the shareholders of the corporation and shall be entitled to one
vote for each share of Common Stock entitled to vote at such meeting.
2. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A
------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Stock. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to
- ---------------
and imposed on this corporation's Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:
A. Dividends.
---------
1. Fixed Amount. Out of any assets legally available
------------
therefor, the Board shall have discretion (but shall not be required) to declare
a dividend on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the fixed rate of
Three Point Five Seven Cents ($0.0357) per share per annum (subject to
adjustment to equitably account for any stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, recapitalizations or the like, and not compounded from one year to
the next) ("Fixed Amount Dividends"). Fixed Amount Dividends shall be payable
only when, as, and if declared by the Board. Fixed Amount Dividends payable to
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto, whether or not declared
by the Board, shall at all times be cumulative until paid in full, and shall be
paid in preference and priority to any Common Equivalent Dividends (as that term
is defined in Section A(2) below), and any dividend or other distribution being
paid or distributed to the holders of Common Stock.
2. Common Equivalent. Subject to the priority of the Fixed
-----------------
Amount Dividends, in the event the Board declares a dividend on or other
distribution with respect to the corporation's outstanding common stock ("Common
Stock"), which is payable other than in Common Stock and/or other securities or
rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or
indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, then out of any assets legally
available therefor, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall concurrently
receive dividends or other distributions in an amount equal to (a) the amount of
the dividend or other distribution payable on one share of Common Stock;
multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Common Stock, rounded to the nearest
whole number (with one half being rounded upward), into which the total number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted on
the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock are entitled to
receive the dividend or other distribution in question ("Common Equivalent
Dividends"). Common Equivalent Dividends payable to the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock pursuant hereto shall at all times be cumulative until paid in
full, and shall be paid in preference and priority to any dividend or other
distribution being paid or distributed to the holders of Common Stock.
3. Treatment Upon Conversion. Upon any conversion of the
-------------------------
Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section D hereof entitled
Conversion ("Triggering Conversion"), any Fixed Amount Dividends and/or Common
- ----------
Equivalent Dividends payable with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock being converted (collectively "Conversion Dividends"), shall concurrently
be converted into that number of shares of this corporation's fully paid and
nonassessable Common Stock determined by dividing the dollar amount of the
Conversion Dividends by the Conversion Price applicable to the Triggering
Conversion ("Dividend Conversion Shares"). Otherwise, the provisions of Section
D hereof entitled Conversion shall be applicable to the Dividend Conversion
----------
Shares in the same manner as
2
such provisions are applicable to any other shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to the Triggering Conversion.
3
4. Waiver. Pursuant to the affirmative vote, written
------
consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock ("Approving Preferred Majority"), the Approving Preferred
Majority shall be entitled on behalf of all holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
to waive any dividend such holders would otherwise be entitled to receive,
including without limitation, any Fixed Amount Dividends and/or Common
Equivalent Dividends (collectively the "Preferred Dividends").
B. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation,
----------------------
dissolution or winding up of this corporation, either voluntary or involuntary:
1. Priority Distribution. The holders of Series A
---------------------
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any
distribution of any of the assets or funds of this corporation to the holders of
Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to
the sum of (a) One Dollar and Two Cents ($1.02) for each outstanding share of
Series A Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment to equitably account for any
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like)
("Original Series A Issue Price"), plus (b) an amount equal to any declared but
unpaid dividends on such share, including without limitation, any accumulated
balance of Preferred Dividends ("Priority Distribution"). If the assets and
funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the full amount of the
Priority Distribution, then the entire assets and funds of this corporation
legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such
stock owned by each such holder.
2. Acquisition or Sale. For purposes of this Section B
-------------------
entitled Liquidation Preference, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
----------------------
this corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (unless an
Approving Preferred Majority shall determine otherwise), (a) the acquisition of
this corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of
related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger
or consolidation) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of
the outstanding voting power of this corporation; or (b) a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of this corporation (collectively "Acquisition
or Sale"). In the event of any Acquisition or Sale, if the consideration
received by this corporation or its shareholders is other than cash, the value
of the non-cash consideration will be deemed to be equal to its fair market
value, except that the value of any securities received in any Acquisition or
Sale shall be determined as follows:
(a) For securities not subject to an investment
letter or other similar restriction on free marketability covered by Section
B(2)(b) below:
(i) If traded on a securities exchange or
through the Nasdaq National Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average
of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the
thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing of the
Acquisition or Sale;
(ii) If actively traded over-the-counter,
the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices
(whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days
prior to the closing of the Acquisition or Sale; or
(iii) If there is no active public market,
the value
4
shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board and
an Approving Preferred Majority.
(b) The method of valuation of securities subject
to an investment letter or other restriction on free marketability (other than
restrictions arising solely by virtue of a shareholder's status as an affiliate
or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market
value determined above in Section B(2)(a), to reflect the approximate fair
market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Board and an Approving
Preferred Majority.
(c) In the event the requirements of this Section
B(2)(c) are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either: (i)
cause the closing of the Acquisition or Sale to be postponed until the time such
requirements have been complied with; or (ii) cancel the Acquisition or Sale, in
which event the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the holders
of Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions existing immediately prior to the date
the first Transaction Notice (as hereafter defined) is given. This corporation
shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of
any impending Acquisition or Sale not later than (i) twenty (20) days prior to
the shareholders' meeting called to approve such Acquisition or Sale, or (ii)
twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such Acquisition or Sale, whichever is
earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of
such Acquisition or Sale (any of the foregoing a "Transaction Notice"). The
first Transaction Notice to be given shall describe the material terms and
conditions of the impending Acquisition or Sale, and this corporation shall
thereafter give holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock prompt notice
of any material changes in such material terms and conditions ("Material Change
Notice"). The Acquisition or Sale shall in no event take place sooner than
twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first Transaction Notice,
or sooner than ten (10) days after this corporation has given any Material
Change Notice; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened by an
Approving Preferred Majority.
C. Redemption. To the extent it may otherwise lawfully do so,
----------
this corporation shall be entitled, in the sole discretion of the Board, to
redeem all or any part of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in
accordance and compliance with the following provisions:
1. Notice. Not less than twenty (20) and not more than
------
thirty (30) days prior to the date as of which the Board intends to give effect
to a redemption of some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
("Redemption Date"), a written notice shall be mailed, first class postage
prepaid, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day
next preceding the day on which notice is mailed) of the Series A Preferred
Stock to be redeemed, at the address last shown on the records of this
corporation for such holder, notifying such holder of the redemption to be
effected on the applicable Redemption Date, specifying each of the following:
(a) the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder ("Redemption Shares");
(b) the Redemption Date; (c) the Series A Redemption Price (as that term is
hereafter defined); (d) the then applicable Conversion Price (as that term is
hereafter defined); (e) the date of termination of the right to convert the
Redemption Shares into shares of Common Stock, which date shall not be earlier
than five (5) days prior to the Redemption Date ("Conversion Termination Date");
and (e) the place at which payment may be obtained; and shall call upon such
holder to surrender to this corporation, in the manner and at the place
designated, his, her or
5
its certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed
("Redemption Notice").
2. Partial Redemptions to be Pro-Rata. In the event a
----------------------------------
Redemption Notice specifies that less than all of the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, then the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be allocated pro-rata among all of the
holders thereof, based on the proportionate number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by each such holder.
3. Conversion Prior to Redemption. Upon receiving a
------------------------------
Redemption Notice, at any time prior the to Conversion Termination Date stated
therein, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert
some or all of the Redemption Shares into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
provisions of Section D(1) below. Any such conversion shall be deemed to take
place on the Redemption Date. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not
converted to shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto shall remain subject to
redemption pursuant to the provisions of this Section C entitled Redemption, and
----------
as set forth in the Redemption Notice. If this corporation fails to carry out
the redemption of any Redemption Shares that are not converted to shares of
Common Stock pursuant to this Section C(3), then in such event, the redemption
described in the Redemption Notice shall be deemed null and void, and any
conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock
pursuant hereto, shall also be deemed null and void.
4. Redemption Price. The price per share required to be
----------------
paid by the corporation upon the redemption of any share of Series A Preferred
Stock pursuant hereto shall be equal to the sum of (a) the Original Series A
Issue Price (subject to adjustment to equitably account for any stock splits,
stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like), plus (b) an
amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, including
without limitation, any accumulated balance of Preferred Dividends ("Series A
Redemption Price").
5. Certificates. On or after the Redemption Date, each
------------
holder of Redemption Shares that have not been converted into shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section C(3) hereof, shall surrender to this corporation the
certificate or certificates representing such Redemption Shares ("Redemption
Certificates"), in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption
Notice, and thereupon the applicable Series A Redemption Price shall be payable
to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or
certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be
canceled. In the event less than all the shares represented by any such
certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the
unredeemed shares. If on the Redemption Date the funds necessary for the
redemption of the Redemption Shares shall be available therefor, then any
Redemption Shares so called for redemption for which Redemption Certificates are
not surrendered, shall nevertheless be considered redeemed, and all rights of
the holders thereof shall be terminated, except for only the right to receive
the Redemption Price without interest upon the surrender of the Redemption
Certificates.
6. Payment. Concurrently with receiving the Redemption
-------
Certificates, this corporation shall pay the Series A Redemption Price to the
person whose name appears on the Redemption Certificates, in cash in one lump
sum.
7. No Previous Redemption of Common Stock. At all times
--------------------------------------
while
6
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this corporation shall
not redeem any shares of Common Stock, unless such redemption has been
authorized by an Approving Preferred Majority.
8. Good Faith Modification. Regardless of any of the
-----------------------
provisions of this Section C entitled Redemption, the holders of the outstanding
----------
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall consider in good faith any request of
the Board to modify the rights, preferences and privileges of such holders
pursuant to this Section C entitled Redemption, if the Board deems such
----------
modification reasonably necessary to permit this corporation to obtain financing
or credit from a financial institution.
D. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
----------
have conversion rights as follows ("Conversion Rights"):
1. Voluntary Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred
--------------------
Stock shall be convertible, (i) at the sole option of the holder thereof, at any
time after the date of issuance of such share, or (ii) at the sole option of the
holder thereof, on or prior to the fifth (5th) day prior to the Redemption Date,
if any, as may have been fixed in any Redemption Notice with respect to such
share of the Series A Preferred Stock, at the office of this corporation or any
transfer agent for such stock and in the manner provided in Section 2(D)(3)
hereof ("Voluntary Conversion"), into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original
Series A Issue Price by the Conversion Price applicable to such share,
determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is
surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be Fifty One Cents ($0.51); provided, however,
that the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section D(4) below.
2. Automatic Conversion. In addition to the right of
--------------------
Voluntary Conversion provided in Section 2(D)(1) hereof, each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at
the Conversion Price in effect at that time for the Series A Preferred Stock,
immediately upon this corporation's receipt of the written consent of the
Approving Preferred Majority to the conversion of all then outstanding Series A
Preferred Stock under this Section D.
3. Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series A
-----------------------
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common
Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the
Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at
its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall
state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, within two (2)
days after receipt of such written notice, issue and deliver at such office to
such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such
holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock
to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date
of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date.
7
Regardless of any of the foregoing provisions, this
corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted are either delivered to the
corporation or any transfer agent as provided herein, or the holder notifies the
corporation or any transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen,
or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
corporation to indemnify the corporation from any loss reasonably incurred by it
in connection therewith.
4. Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for
---------------------------------------------------
Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the
- ---------------------------------------------------
Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows:
(a) If this corporation shall issue, after the date
upon which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock were first issued ("Purchase
Date"), any Additional Stock (as hereafter defined) without consideration or for
a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for the Series A
Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock in effect
immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise
provided in this Section D(4)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying
such Conversion Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance
of the Additional Stock in question (including shares of Common Stock deemed to
be issued pursuant to Section D(4)(f)(i) or (ii) hereof, but not including
shares excluded from the definition of Additional Stock by Section D(4)(g)(ii)
hereof), plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at
such Conversion Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including
shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section D(4)(f)(i) or
(ii) hereof, but not including shares excluded from the definition of Additional
Stock by Section D(4)(g)(ii) hereof), plus the number of shares of Additional
Stock in question.
(b) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one cent per
share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason
of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at
the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the
adjustment being carried forward.
(c) Except to the extent provided for in Section
D(4)(f)(iii) and (iv) hereof, and Section D(4)(i) hereof, no adjustment of the
Conversion Price pursuant to this Section D(4) shall have the effect of
increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment.
(d) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor
before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise
in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(e) In the case of the issuance of the Common Stock
for a
8
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration shall be
deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the
Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(f) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or
after the applicable Purchase Date) of options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms ultimately convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following
provisions shall apply for all purposes of Sections D(4)(a) through (g) hereof:
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any
conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time,
but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments), to the
extent then exercisable, of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or
rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in Section D(4)(d) and (e) hereof), if any,
received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus
the minimum exercise price provided for in such options or rights (without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange for (assuming the
satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including,
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments), to the extent then convertible or
exchangeable, any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the
exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities and the subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall
be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to (1) the
consideration, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and
related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued
interest or accrued dividends); plus (2) the minimum additional consideration,
if any, to be received by this corporation (without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such
securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration
in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections D(4)(d) and (e)
hereof).
(iii) In the event of any change in the number
of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this
corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in
exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not
limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, then
the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way
affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for
the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon
the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such
securities. However, in no event shall (1) the amount of any increase in the
Conversion Price that may result from any recomputation pursuant to this Section
2.D.4(f)(iii) of this Article III, as a proportion of the Conversion Price in
effect at the time such recomputation takes place ("Proportionate Increase"); be
greater than (2) the amount of any decrease in the Conversion Price that
occurred as a result of the issuance of the options, rights, or
9
convertible or exchangeable securities in question, as a proportion of the
Conversion Price in effect at the time such decrease took place ("Proportionate
Decrease").
(iv) Upon the expiration of any such options
or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable
securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent
in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or
options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the
issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise
of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or
upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities. However,
in no event shall (1) the amount of any increase in the Conversion Price that
may result from any recomputation pursuant to this Section 2.D.4(f)(iv) of this
Article III, as a proportion of the Conversion Price in effect at the time such
recomputation takes place ("Proportionate Increase"); be greater than (2) the
amount of any decrease in the Conversion Price that occurred as a result of the
issuance of the options, rights, or convertible or exchangeable securities in
question, as a proportion of the Conversion Price in effect at the time such
decrease took place ("Proportionate Decrease").
(v) The number of shares of Common Stock
deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Sections
D(4)(f)(i) and (ii) hereof, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any
change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Section
D(4)(f)(iii) and (iv) hereof.
(g) For purposes of this Section D(4), the term
"Additional Stock" shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to
have been issued pursuant to Section D(4)(f)) by this corporation after the
Purchase Date, except for any of the following:
(i) Common Stock issued pursuant to a
transaction described in Section D(4)(h) below; or
(ii) Common Stock issuable or issued to (1)
employees, consultants or directors of this corporation directly or pursuant to
a stock option plan or restricted stock plan, and such issuance has been
approved by the Board, or (2) vendors or joint venture partners of this
corporation, but only if such issuance is in a transaction with primarily a non-
financing purpose, and has been approved by the Board.
(h) In the event this corporation should at any time
or from time to time after the Purchase Date fix a record date for the
effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (collectively
referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration
by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock
Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of
such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed),
the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be appropriately
decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of
each share of such series shall be increased in
10
proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents
(with the number of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents
determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in
Section D(4)(f) hereof).
(i) If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such
combination, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on
conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such
decrease in outstanding shares.
5. Other Distributions. In the event this corporation
-------------------
shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences
of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding
cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Section D(4)(h) hereof,
then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section D(5), the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Series A Preferred Stock
are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders
of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
6. Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to
-----------------
time there shall be a recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock
(other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction
provided for elsewhere in this Section D entitled Conversion, or in Section B
----------
hereof entitled Liquidation Preference, provision shall be made so that the
----------------------
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder
of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such
recapitalization or reclassification. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section D entitled
Conversion, with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred
- ----------
Stock after the recapitalization or reclassification, to the end that the
provisions of this Section D entitled Conversion (including adjustment of the
----------
Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
7. No Impairment. This corporation will not, by
-------------
amendment or restatement of its Articles of Incorporation or through any
reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issuance or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section D
entitled Conversion, and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or
----------
appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.
8. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall
--------------------
be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to
the nearest whole share (with one half being
11
rounded upward). Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such
conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
conversion.
