 -2- 

 

 

4.2                Participating Dividends. If the Corporation declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, whether such dividend or distribution is payable in cash, securities or other property, but excluding any dividend or distribution payable on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock in the same amount per Share as is paid per share of Common Stock (adjusted for any stock splits or stock dividends subsequent to the date of this Certificate of Designation).

 

5.             Liquidation.

 

5.1                Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”), subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the holders of Shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per Share held by such holder equal to the sum of (i) $20.08 (adjusted for any stock splits or stock dividends subsequent to the date of this Certificate of Designation) plus (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to such Share (the “Liquidation Value”).

 

5.2                Partial Distributions. If, upon any such Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation to be distributed in respect of the Series B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock are insufficient to permit payment in respect thereof of the aggregate amount to which they are entitled under this Certificate of Designation upon such Liquidation, then the entire assets of the Corporation available to be distributed to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock shall be distributed pro rata among such holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Stock based upon the aggregate amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled upon such Liquidation with respect to such Series B Preferred Stock or Parity Stock, as applicable.

 

5.3                Participation on Liquidation if no Common Stock Outstanding. If no shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding, in addition to and after payment in full of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock upon a Liquidation under this Section 5, the holders of Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to participate with the holders of any other shares of Preferred Stock entitled to participate in the residual value of the Corporation then outstanding (if any), pro rata on a share-for-share basis as a single class, in the distribution of all the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.

 

6.              Voting.

 

6.1                Voting Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by applicable law, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on any matter submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for vote, consent or approval, and the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be included in determining the number of shares voting or entitled to vote on such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no shares of Common Stock and no shares of any series of Preferred Stock holding voting rights equivalent to the voting rights of shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding, each Share shall be entitled to one vote with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration (whether at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, by written action of stockholders in lieu of a meeting or otherwise).

 

 -3- 

 

 

6.2                Action by Written Consent. Whenever holders of Series B Preferred Stock are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting by written consent, setting forth the action so taken and signed by the holders of at least such number of Shares as would be sufficient to take such action at a meeting of stockholders.

 

7.             Redemption.

 

7.1                Redemption. The Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, elect to redeem, pursuant to this Section 7, all, but not less than all, of the Shares then outstanding at the Liquidation Value per Share upon written notice to the holders thereof. The Corporation may exercise such redemption right by delivering written notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, which notice shall include the information required pursuant to Section 7.2.

 

7.2                Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Redemption Notice shall be given to the holders of record of the Shares to be redeemed not more than fifteen (15) days nor less than one (1) day prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made (such date, the “Redemption Date”). Such Redemption Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (a) the Redemption Date, (b) a calculation specifying the Liquidation Value owed to such holder by the Corporation in respect of each Share called for redemption and held by such holder as of the Redemption Date and (c) the place or places where, and manner in which, certificates for such Shares are to be surrendered. Any notice given as provided in this Section 7.2 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure to give such notice as provided in this Section 7.2, or any defect in such notice, to any holder of Shares designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Shares.

 

7.3                Effectiveness of Redemption. If a Redemption Notice has been duly given and if, on or before the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice, all funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust or escrow for the pro rata benefit of the holders of Shares called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor (subject to applicable escheat laws), or deposited by the Corporation with a bank or trust company in trust or escrow for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the Shares called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any Shares so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the Redemption Date, all Shares so called for redemption shall be cancelled and shall cease to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such Shares shall forthwith on such Redemption Date cease and terminate without further liability to, or obligation of, the Corporation, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the Liquidation Value without interest.
