Ex. A-3


  “Converted Stock Equivalent Amount.” The Corporation shall not declare a dividend or distribution to the holders of the Common Stock unless a dividend or distribution (as described above) is also made to the Holders in accordance with this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 3(a). Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 3(a), if any dividend or distribution is payable in rights or warrants to subscribe for Common Stock or purchase Common Stock pursuant to a conversion feature in a debt or equity security, the corresponding dividend or distribution payable on the Series B Preferred Stock shall consist of an identical right or warrant except that such right or warrant shall be a right or warrant to subscribe for a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be subject to such right or warrant. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have no fixed dividend rate. Each declared dividend or distribution shall be payable to the holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock at the same time as dividends or distributions are payable to the holders of record of Common Stock. The Corporation shall not declare or pay a dividend or distribution to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock other than as expressly provided in this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 3(a).

 

  (b) Priority of Dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior with regard to dividends to the Senior Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock shall have the same priority, with regard to dividends, as the Common Stock.

 

4. Liquidation Rights.

 

  (a) Liquidation. In the event of a Liquidation Event, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and after any payment of the prior preferences and other rights of any Senior Stock shall have been made or irrevocably set apart for payment, the assets of the Corporation legally remaining available for distribution to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among (i) the holders of Common Stock, (ii) the Holders (with each such Holder being treated for this purpose as holding the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the Converted Stock Equivalent Amount and the number of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, excluding any fractional shares resulting from such computation), and (iii) the holders of any other securities of the Corporation having the right to participate in such distributions upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

Ex. A-4


5. Conversion.

 

  (a) Conversion Upon Permitted Transfer or Approval by the Board of Directors. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall convert into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted and the Converted Stock Equivalent (i) automatically in the hands of a transferee immediately upon the consummation of a Permitted Transfer or (ii) if the Board of Directors acting in its sole and absolute discretion has approved such conversion and such conversion would not result in the holder of such shares beneficially owning, together with its Affiliates, more than 4.9% (or, in the case of Castle Creek Holder or GCP Holder only, 9.9%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, excluding for the purpose of this calculation any reduction in ownership resulting from Transfers by such holder and its affiliates of Common Stock (clauses (i) and (ii) together, the “Conversion Conditions). Each certificate representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock in respect of which a conversion as occurred in accordance with this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a) shall be deemed to represent the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock have converted. Upon a conversion pursuant to this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a), each converted share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be cancelled and constitute an authorized but unissued share of preferred stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series.

 

  (b)

Transfer Procedures. Upon the physical surrender of the certificate representing a share of Series B Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a) to the Corporation, together with a written certification to the effect that such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are being Transferred in accordance with Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a) hereof (a “Transfer Certification”), the Corporation will, or will cause the Transfer Agent to, issue and deliver a new certificate, registered as the Holder making the Transfer may request, representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being Transferred pursuant to Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a) and represented by such certificate (provided that, if the transfer agent for the Common Stock is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the transferee is eligible to receive shares through DTC, the Transfer Agent shall instead credit such number of full shares of Common Stock to such transferee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system). The failure of any Holder making the Transfer of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to deliver to the Corporation a Transfer Certification in accordance with this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(b) shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be a certification by such transferor Holder that such proposed Transfer shall not be made in accordance with Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a). In the event that

 

Ex. A-5


  less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are Transferred pursuant to Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a), the Corporation shall promptly issue a new certificate registered in the name of the transferor Holder representing such remaining shares of Series B Preferred Stock not subject to such Transfer.

 

  (c) No Responsibility of the Corporation. In connection with any Transfer or conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to or as permitted by Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a):

 

  (i) The Corporation shall be under no obligation to make any investigation of facts.

 

  (ii) Except as otherwise required by law, neither the Corporation nor any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation shall be liable in any manner for any action taken or omitted in good faith in connection with the registration of any such Transfer or the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with any such conversion.

 

  (d) Legend. Every certificate representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall bear a legend on the face thereof providing as follows:

“The shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by this certificate are subject to provisions with respect to, including requirements for, sale, assignment or other transfer set forth in Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5 of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, including a provision providing for automatic conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock upon sale, assignment or other transfer pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (as defined therein).”

 

  (e) No Effect on Other Obligations. Nothing contained in this Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5 shall be deemed to eliminate or otherwise modify any other requirements applicable to Transfers under this Paragraph F or applicable law.

 

  (f) Conversion Date. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on any applicable Conversion Date, dividends shall no longer be declared on any such converted shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall represent only the right to receive shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares; provided that Holders shall have the right to receive any declared and unpaid dividends as of the Conversion Date on such shares and any other payments to which they are otherwise entitled pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

  (g)

Record Holder as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock or other

 

Ex. A-6


  property issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock on any applicable Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock immediately upon a Transfer made in accordance with Article II, Paragraph F, Section 5(a).

 

6. Voting Rights.

 

  (a) General. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all shareholder meetings at which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote; provided that notwithstanding any such notice, except as required by applicable law or as expressly set forth herein, the Holders shall not be entitled to vote on any matter presented to the shareholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration.

 

  (b) Approval Rights. In addition to any approval rights that may be required by applicable law, the consent of the Holders representing a majority of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible (assuming for this purpose that each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Converted Stock Equivalent Amount), given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote, at a special or annual meeting, voting or consenting as a separate class, shall be necessary to: (A) increase the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; (B) enter any agreement, contract or understanding or otherwise incur any obligation which by its terms would violate or be in conflict in any material respect with, or significantly and adversely affect, the powers, rights or preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock designated hereunder; (C) amend the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, if such amendment would significantly and adversely alter, change or affect the powers, preferences or rights of the Holders; or (D) amend or waive any provision of this Article II, Paragraph F applicable to the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

  (c) Action by Written Consent. Any action, including any vote required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation, that requires a separate vote of the Holders voting as a single class, may be adopted or taken by the Holders without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so adopted or taken, are signed by the Holders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be required to adopt or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation at its principal executive office.

8. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In the event an Organic Change occurs, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated the same as each share of Common Stock, taking into account any adjustment of the Converted Stock Equivalent Amount. In the event that holders of shares of Common Stock have the option to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Organic Change, Holders shall have the same election privileges as the holders of Common Stock. In all cases, if any of the securities otherwise receivable pursuant to an Organic Change are “voting securities” for bank regulatory purposes, each Holder shall have the right to elect to receive non-“voting securities” in lieu thereof.

 

9. Unissued or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have been issued and converted, redeemed or otherwise purchased or acquired by the Corporation shall be retired upon their acquisition, shall not be reissued as shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and, upon the taking of any action required by law, shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation without designation as to series.

Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with any federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.

 

  (d) Listing. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other national securities exchange, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange, all the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if the rules of such exchange require the Corporation to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Corporation covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the requirements of such exchange at such time.

 

Ex. A-8


12. Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent. The duly appointed Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent and paying agent for the Series B Preferred Stock shall initially be the Corporation.

The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any Holder required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock hereunder (including, without limitation, making any governmental filings required to be made by the Corporation), but the Corporation shall not be obligated to reimburse any Holder for expenses incurred in connection therewith.
