the Determination Date (as defined below). During the period prior to the Determination Date, the
Class E Common Stock itself (in addition to the Class E Distribution Proceeds) shall remain subject

earnings of the cash, new securities or other property held in such trust shall be added to the
corpus thereof, all of which shall be distributed promptly after the Determination Date, to the
holders of Class E Common Stock as of the Determination Date, in proportion to their holdings of
Class E Common Stock, except that if none of the Escrow Conditions (as defined below) shall have
been satisfied on or before the Determination Date, then such corpus shall revert to the
Corporation.

charges to income that may result from the release of any securities of the Corporation from an
escrow and the conversion of the Class E Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, as stated in the
Corporations financial statements for such fiscal year upon which independent auditors have given
a report. For purposes of determining whether the above criteria are met at any Determination Date,
the Income amounts set forth above shall be increased at any Determination Date by multiplying such
Income amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the average weighted number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding over the fiscal year for which the Escrow Condition is satisfied
(including Class A and Class E Common Stock, and treating as outstanding common stock of any class
issuable upon conversion of securities that are outstanding at the Determination Date and which are
convertible into common stock without the payment of additional consideration (Conversion
Shares)) and the denominator of which is the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
(Class A, Class E and Conversion Shares) which are outstanding (or, with respect to the Conversion
Shares, treated as outstanding as set forth above) at the Effective Date, plus (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock sold under the Registration Statement, as defined below.

Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which is the first registration statement
so filed by the Corporation with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

effective within the meaning of Section 8 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(d) Market price shall mean, in order of preferences, (i) the last reported sales price on a
consolidated transaction reporting system, if the Class A Common Stock is listed on a national
securities exchange or is listed on the Nasdaq National Market, (ii) the high closing bid price if
such stock is otherwise quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (iii) otherwise, a bid price for such
stock determined by such means as the Corporations Board of Directors finds to be reasonable.
(6) Conversion.
(a) If on the Determination Date, any of the Escrow Conditions shall have been satisfied, then
each share of Class E Common Stock shall be converted into one share of Class A Common Stock, and
if on the Determination Date none of the Escrow Conditions shall have been satisfied, then the
Class E Common Stock remaining in escrow shall be redeemed by the Corporation at a price per share
of $.0001 and canceled without further obligation to the holder thereof. From and after the
Determination Date, the rights of the holders of Class E Common Stock shall be limited to the
following: (i) in the event that any of the Escrow Conditions were satisfied at the Determination
Date, the right to receive a certificate representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
into which such Class E Common Stock was converted, and otherwise to the rights of a holder of such
shares of Class A Common Stock; or (ii) in the event that none of the Escrow Conditions were
satisfied at the Determination Date, no further right with respect to the Class E Common Stock, which is thereby
canceled, or with respect to any other property or securities previously issued with respect
thereto.
(b) Solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Class E Common Stock as herein
provided, the Corporation shall, at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Class A Common Stock such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as are then
issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class E Common Stock.
5
(7) No Transfer. No person holding shares of Class E Common Stock of record may
transfer such shares, except by testamentary disposition or by operation of law, and any purported
transfer other than as permitted by the preceding clause shall be ineffective, null and void.
(8) Registration. Shares of Class E Common Stock shall be registered in the names of
the beneficial owners thereof and not in street or nominee name. For this purpose, a
beneficial owner of any shares of Class E Common Stock shall mean a person who, or any entity
which, possesses the power, either singly or jointly, to direct the voting or disposition of such
shares. The Corporation shall note on the certificates for shares of Class E Common Stock the
restrictions on transfer and registration.
III. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, subject
to any limitation prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock
in series, including, without limitation, Series A Preferred Stock (as defined in Paragraph (A) of
this Section III), and any other series designated by the Board of Directors pursuant to Paragraph
(B) of this Section III.
A. Convertible Preferred Stock.
1. Designation of the 9% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The
Corporation shall have authority to issue out of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock a series of Preferred Stock to be designated the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
Series A Preferred Stock). The number of shares, powers, relative, participating, optional and
other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, of the Series A

3. Redemption. The Corporation will retire the Series A preferred Stock by mandatory
redemption (sinking fund) as to 41,666 shares of July 30, 1994, 41,666 shares as of July 30, 1995
and 41,667 shares as of July 30, 1996 through the operation of a sinking fund calculated to retire
the Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Original Series A Issue Price (as
defined in Paragraph (A)(4)) plus accrued dividends at the rate of 9% per annum. The amount of any
sinking fund payment in any year shall be automatically reduced to the extent shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are converted into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph
(A)(6) prior to the close of business on the sinking fund redemption date.
On and after the sinking fund redemption date, unless default shall be made by the Corporation
in making provisions for payment of the redemption price, all rights to participate in the affairs
of the Corporation as stockholders, except the right to receive the redemption price, without
interest, shall cease.
4. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the
Corporation (collectively, a Liquidation), whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment
of cash or distribution of other property shall be made to the holders of Common Stock, the holders
of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation
legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share equal to (as such
amount shall be adjusted to reflect subdivisions and combinations of shares and stock dividends),
with respect to each outstanding share of Series A preferred Stock, $1.00 (the Original Series A
Issue Price), together with all declared but unpaid dividends with respect to each such
share (the Liquidation Amount). If the assets and funds legally available for distribution among
the holders of Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the
full preferential amount, then such assets and funds shall be distributed ratably among the holders
of Preferred Stock in proportion to the total preferential amount which each such holder is
entitled to receive.
6
(b) Any assets remaining after the distributions pursuant to Paragraph (A)(4)(a) shall be
distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of Common Stock.
(c) For purposes of this Paragraph (A)(4), a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation shall not be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, the Corporations sale of all
or substantially all of its assets or the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into
any other corporation or corporations, or the effecting by the Corporation of a transaction or
series of related transactions after the Original Issue Date, as hereinafter defined, in which more
than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation is disposed.
5. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by law or this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote on any matter to
be voted on by the Stockholders of the Corporation (including any election or removal of directors
of the Corporation). The holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive notice, together with the holders of each share of Common Stock, of all stockholder
meetings.
6. Conversion. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as
follows (the Conversion Rights):
(a) Right to Convert.
(i) Optional
Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the
option of the holder thereof at any time after the date of issuance of such shares, at the office
of the Corporation or any transfer agent for Series A Preferred Stock, into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock at the rate of $1.24975 per share. The initial
Conversion Price for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $1.24975; provided, however, that
the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below.
(ii) Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Class A Common Stock so issued shall
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Corporation.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and the number of shares issuable upon such
conversion shall be calculated to the nearest whole share. Except as provided in Paragraph
(A)(6)(a)(ii), before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same
into full shares of Class A Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A
Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporation at its
principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same. The Corporation shall, not later
than 45 days thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A preferred
Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which he
shall be entitled as aforesaid (after aggregating all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to
such holder of Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at the time being converted) and a check in an amount equal to accrued but unpaid
dividends as to this date with respect to such shares converted. In addition, if less than all of
the shares represented by such certificates are surrendered for conversion pursuant to Paragraph
(A)(6)(a)(i), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a new certificate for the
balance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not so converted. Except as provided in Paragraph
(A)(6)(a)(ii), such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of the surrender of the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock to be
converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date.
7
(c) Adjustments to Conversion Price.
(i) Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event the
Corporation shall issue additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to a stock dividend, stock
distribution or subdivision, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such stock
dividend, stock distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with such stock dividend, stock
distribution or subdivision, be proportionately decreased.
(ii) Adjustments for Combinations or Consolidations. In the event the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a
lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or
consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(iii) Adjustments for Issuances of Shares at Less than Conversion Price. In the event
the Corporation shall sell additional shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less
than the Conversion Price on the date of the sale, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to such sale shall be changed to a price determined by dividing (i) the sum of (a) the total number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such sale, multiplied by the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such sale, and (b) the consideration, if any, received by the
Corporation upon such sale by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such sale.
(d) No impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue 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 the
Corporation, but will, at all times in good faith, assist the carrying out of all the provisions of
this Paragraph (A)(6) 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.
(e) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall, at all
times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock
solely for the purposes of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of
its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take
such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares of as shall be
sufficient for such purposes.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Paragraph (A)(6), the Corporation at its
expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof
and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment
or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A
Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(i) all such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and
(iii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which at the time would be received upon the
conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock.
(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Corporation shall propose at any
time:
(i) to declare any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, whether in cash, property,
stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of
earnings or earned surplus; or
(ii) to offer for subscription to the holders of any class or series of its capital stock any
additional shares of stock of any class or series or any other rights; or
8
(iii) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization; or
(iv) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, to sell, lease or convey all
