This Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been adopted by the Board of Directors in the manner and by the vote prescribed by Section 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and is as follows:
ARTICLE I
     The name of this Corporation is JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. (the “Corporation”).

     The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

     This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, the “Preferred Stock” and the “Common Stock.” The total number of shares of capital stock which this Corporation is authorized to issue is Fifty-Two Million (52,000,000) shares. Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares shall be common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the

“Common Stock”), and Two Million (2,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
     The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, and the liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of them, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
ARTICLE V
     The rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Common Stock are as follows:
     1. Dividends. If the Board of Directors shall elect to declare dividends out of funds legally available therefor, such dividends shall be declared in equal amounts per share on all shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis), subject to Article VI.
     2. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, and after the payment of any preferential liquidating distribution, if any, to the holders of the Preferred Stock as provided in Article VI, any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of this Corporation’s Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis).
     3. Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share as determined on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders and shall vote together with the holders of the Preferred Stock upon any items submitted to a vote of stockholders and those matters required by law to be submitted to a class vote.
ARTICLE VI
     Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares of the Preferred Stock are hereby designated “Series A Preferred Stock” $1.00 par value per share, with the rights, preferences and privileges specified herein.
     The rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

2


 

     1. Dividends and Distributions.
          (A) The dividend rate on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be for each quarterly dividend (hereinafter referred to as a “quarterly dividend period”) which quarterly dividend periods shall commence on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”) (or in the case of original issuance, from the date of original issuance) and shall end on and include the day next preceding the first date of the next quarterly dividend period, at a rate per quarterly dividend period (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $250.00 or (b) subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, plus 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in cash, based upon the fair market value at the time the non-cash dividend or other distribution is declared as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared (but not withdrawn) on the Common Stock during the immediately preceding quarterly dividend period, or, with respect to the first quarterly dividend period, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event this Company shall at any time after October 2, 1998 (the “Rights Declaration Date”) (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b)of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
          (B) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 45 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

3


 

     2. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
          (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event
          (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.
          (C) Except as set forth herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation and in the Bylaws, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.
     3. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.
     4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the greater of (a) $10,000.00 per share, plus accrued dividends to the date of distribution, whether or not earned or declared, or (b) an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the

4


 

number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     5. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event
     6. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.
     7. Fractional Shares. Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock. All payments made with respect to fractional shares hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent.
     8. Certain Restrictions.
          (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Article VI, Section 1, are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:
          (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;
          (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

5


 

          (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or
          (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.
          (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 8, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
     9. Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be junior to all other Series of the Corporation’s preferred stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any series shall provide otherwise.
     10. Amendment. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE VII
     The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:
     1. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.
     2. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

6


 

     3. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
     4. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only (1) by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by at least one-third of the total number of directors then in office or (2) by the Corporation’s President or Chief Executive Officer.
ARTICLE VIII
     1. The number of directors shall be set at four (4) and, thereafter, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption). The directors shall be divided into three classes with the term of office of the first class (Class I) to expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the closing of the first sale of the Corporation’s Common Stock, pursuant to a firmly underwritten registered public offering (the “IPO”); the term of office of the second class (Class II) to expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders held following the IPO; the term of office of the third class (Class III) to expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders; and thereafter for each such term to expire at each third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after such election. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected, and until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of the death, resignation, or removal of any director.
     2. Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation or other cause (other than removal from office by a vote of the stockholders) may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires, and until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of the death, resignation, or removal of any director. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
     3. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any directors, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from such removal may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum. Directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires, and until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of the death, resignation, or removal of any director.

7


 

ARTICLE IX
     The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any resolution providing for adoption, amendment or repeal is presented to the Board). The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders shall require, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

     A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
     If the Delaware General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
     Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article X by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE XI
     The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of this Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal this Article XI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX or Article X.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
of
RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS
of
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
of
JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC.
The undersigned officer of JDA Software Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGC-L”), does hereby certify the following.
A.   The Corporation has authorized 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, none of which has been issued
 
B.   Pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by its Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board has duly adopted recitals and resolutions in accordance with the powers granted it by the Certificate of Incorporation, which resolutions remains in full force and effect on the date hereof, as follows:
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation provides for a class of stock designated “Preferred Stock”, issuable from time to time in one or more series;
WHEREAS, the Board is authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Certificate of Incorporation, to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, and the liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of them; and,
WHEREAS, the Board desires, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to designate a series of Preferred Stock as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” and to fix and determine the number of shares constituting such series and the rights preferences, privileges and restrictions of such series.

 


 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board hereby designates such new series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series as follows:
I.   Designation of Series. The Corporation shall have a series of Preferred Stock designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred”).
 
II.   Designation of Number of Shares of Series B Preferred. The number of shares constituting the Series B Preferred shall be 50,000 shares.
 
III.   Rank of Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to all classes of common stock of the Corporation (including Common Stock (as hereinafter defined)) and senior to any other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock, unless the issuance of capital stock being on parity with or senior to the Series B Preferred shall be in compliance with this Certificate of Designation.
 
IV.   Fixing the Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of the Series B Preferred. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions hereby granted to and imposed upon the Series B Preferred are as follows:
* * * *
Section 1. Dividends.
          The Series B Preferred shall not bear a fixed yield or dividend. However, in the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property) other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation also shall declare and pay to the holders of the Series B Preferred, at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred had all of the outstanding Series B Preferred been converted immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or, if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.
Section 2. Liquidation.
          2A. Liquidation Events. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (whether voluntary or involuntary) (a “Liquidation Event”), each holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to be paid out of cash legally available for distribution to stockholders, before any distribution or payment is made upon any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of the Series B Preferred (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) held by such holder plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the aggregate amount that would be paid in connection with such Liquidation Event with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Shares held by such holder had all of the outstanding Series B Preferred been converted immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, and the holders of Series B Preferred shall not be

- 2 -


 

entitled to any further payment. If upon any such Liquidation Event the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid under this Section 2A, then the entire assets available to be distributed to the Corporation’s stockholders shall be distributed pro rata among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Series B Preferred held by each such holder.
          2B. Notice. Not less than 40 days and not more than 90 days prior to the payment date stated therein, the Corporation shall deliver written notice of any such Liquidation Event, and not less than 40 days and not more than 90 days prior to consummating any transaction deemed a Liquidation Event as described in Section 2C below, the Corporation shall deliver written notice of such transaction, in each case to each record holder of Series B Preferred, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of proceeds to be paid with respect to each Share and each share of Common Stock in connection with such Liquidation Event or the terms of such transaction described in Section 2C (including the amount to be paid with respect to each Share and each share of Common Stock in connection therewith), as the case may be.
          2C. Deemed Liquidation Events. Upon the election of the Majority Holders delivered to the Corporation within 15 days after receipt of the Corporation’s notice to the holders of Series B Preferred under Section 2B, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another entity or entities (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity) or any sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or substantially all of its assets (determined either for the Corporation alone or with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) or any sale, transfer or issuance or series of sales, transfers and/or issuances of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock by the Corporation or the beneficial or record holders thereof as a result of which such holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors immediately prior to such sale or issuance cease to own the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event for purposes of this Section 2, and, to the extent permitted by the Senior Debt, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive a payment from the Corporation equal to the amounts payable with respect to the Series B Preferred upon a Liquidation Event under this Section 2 (the “Liquidation Payment Amount”) in cancellation of their Shares upon the consummation of any such transaction; provided that the foregoing provision shall not apply to any merger in which (i) the Corporation is the surviving entity, (ii) the terms of the Series B Preferred are not changed and the Series B Preferred is not exchanged for any cash, securities or other property, (iii) the beneficial holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock immediately prior to the merger shall continue to own shares of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock possessing the voting power (under ordinary circumstances) to elect a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and (iv) no Person or group of Persons (as the term “group” is used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than the holders of Series B Preferred as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, has “beneficial ownership” (as that term is used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 25% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of any such election of the Majority Holders to all other holders of Series B Preferred within five days after the receipt thereof, and each such holder shall have until the fifth business

- 3 -


 

day prior to the date of consummation of such deemed Liquidation Event to demand payment from the Corporation of the Liquidation Payment Amount in cancellation of their Shares upon the consummation of any such transaction. The Majority Holders shall have the right to elect the benefits of either this Section 2 or Section 3G hereof in connection with any such merger, consolidation or sale of assets.
Section 3. Redemptions.
          3A. Scheduled Redemption. At any time after September 6, 2013, any holder of Series B Preferred may demand redemption of all or any part of the Shares of Series B Preferred then held by such holder. Holders may exercise such redemption right by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election not more than 60 days and not less than 15 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Upon such holders’ redemption election pursuant to this Section 3A, the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem such Shares on the date specified in such notice at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price.
          3B. Redemption Payments. For each Share which is to be redeemed hereunder, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation’s principal office of the certificate representing such Share) an amount in cash equal to the Cash Redemption Price. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares pro rata among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Cash Redemption Price of such Shares held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.
          3C. Upon Notice of Redemption. Upon mailing any redemption notice, the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem the total number of Shares specified in such notice at the time of redemption specified therein in accordance with the applicable paragraph of this Section 3. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed in any redemption hereunder, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within five business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Shares.
          3D. Dividends After Redemption Date. No Share shall be entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Cash Redemption Price specified herein is paid to the holder of such Share. On such date, all rights of the holder of such Share (other than as set forth in Section 3D) shall cease, and such Share shall no longer be deemed to be issued and outstanding.
          3E. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.

          3F. Other Redemptions or Acquisitions. The Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, redeem or otherwise acquire any Shares of Series B Preferred, except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a purchase offer made pro rata to all holders of Series B Preferred on the basis of the number of Shares owned by each such holder. Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Shares of Series B Preferred to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the number of Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Shares to be redeemed times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares then outstanding, but in no event more than the number of Shares of which such holder has accepted or requested redemption.
          3G. Special Redemptions.
          (i) If a Change in Ownership has occurred or the Corporation obtains knowledge that a Change in Ownership is proposed to occur, the Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such Change in Ownership describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each holder of Series B Preferred, but in any event such notice shall not be given later than five days after the occurrence of such Change in Ownership, and the Corporation shall give each holder of Series B Preferred prompt written notice of any material change in the terms or timing of such transaction. The Majority Holders may require, to the extent permitted by the Senior Debt, the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred owned by such holder or holders at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election prior to the later of (a) 15 days after receipt of the Corporation’s notice and (b) 15 days prior to the consummation of the Change in Ownership (the “Expiration Date”). The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of any such election to require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred to all other holders of Series B Preferred within five days after the receipt thereof, and each such holder shall have until the later of (a) the Expiration Date or (b) ten days after receipt of such second notice to request redemption hereunder (by giving written notice to the Corporation) of all or any portion of the Series B Preferred owned by such holder.
          Upon receipt of such election(s), the Corporation shall be obligated, to the extent permitted by the Senior Debt, to redeem the aggregate number of Shares specified therein on the later of (a) the occurrence of the Change in Ownership or (b) five days after the Corporation’s receipt of such election(s). If any proposed Change in Ownership does not occur, all requests for redemption in connection therewith shall be automatically rescinded, or if there has been a material change in the terms or the timing of the transaction, any holder of Series B Preferred may rescind such holder’s request for redemption by giving written notice of such rescission to the Corporation.
          (ii) If a Fundamental Change is proposed to occur, the Corporation shall give written notice of such Fundamental Change describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each holder of Series B Preferred not more than 45 days nor less than 20 days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change, and the Corporation shall give each holder of Series B Preferred prompt written notice of any material change in the terms or timing of such transaction. The Majority Holders may require, to the extent permitted by the

- 5 -


 

Senior Debt, the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred owned by such holder or holders at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election prior to the later of (a) fifteen days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change or (b) ten days after receipt of notice from the Corporation. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice of such election to all other holders of Series B Preferred (but in any event within five days prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change), and each such holder shall have until two days after the receipt of such notice to request redemption (by written notice given to the Corporation) of all or any portion of the Series B Preferred owned by such holder.
          Upon receipt of such election(s), the Corporation shall be obligated, to the extent permitted by the Senior Debt, to redeem the aggregate number of Shares specified therein upon the consummation of such Fundamental Change. If any proposed Fundamental Change does not occur, all requests for redemption in connection therewith shall be automatically rescinded, or if there has been a material change in the terms or the timing of the transaction, any holder of Series B Preferred may rescind such holder’s request for redemption by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation prior to the consummation of the transaction.

Section 5. Conversion.
          5A. Conversion at the Holder’s Option. At any time and from time to time, any holder of Series B Preferred may convert (without the payment of any additional consideration) all or any portion of the Series B Preferred (including any fraction of a Share) held by such holder into a number of shares of Conversion Stock computed by multiplying the number of Shares to be converted by $1,000 and dividing the result by the Conversion Price then in effect.
          5B. Conversion at the Corporation’s Option. The Corporation may, at any time that the Market Price per shares of the Underlying Common Stock is greater than or equal to a price that is 250% of the Conversion Price then in effect, force a conversion of all (but not less than all) of the Shares of Series B Preferred then outstanding. The Corporation may exercise such conversion right by giving written notice to the holders of Series B Preferred of such election not less than 30 calendar days prior to the date on which such conversion is to be made.
          5C. Conversion Procedure.
          (i) Except as otherwise provided herein, each conversion of Series B Preferred shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which

- 10 -


 

the applicable notice of conversion has been made in accordance with this Certificate of Designations. At the time any such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of the Shares converted as a holder of Series B Preferred shall cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Conversion Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Conversion Stock represented thereby.
          (ii) The conversion rights of any Share subject to redemption hereunder shall terminate on the Redemption Date for such Share unless the Corporation has failed to pay to the holder thereof the Cash Redemption Price for such Share.
          (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a conversion of Series B Preferred is to be made in connection with a Change in Ownership, a Fundamental Change or other transaction affecting the Corporation, the conversion of any Shares of Series B Preferred may, at the election of the holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such transaction has been consummated.
          (iv) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within three business days), the Corporation shall deliver to the converting holder:
          (a) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified;
          (b) payment in an amount equal to all accrued dividends with respect to each Share converted which have not been paid prior thereto; and
          (c) a certificate representing any Shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.
          (v) The Corporation shall declare the payment of all dividends payable under Section 5C(iv)(b) above. If the Corporation is not permitted under applicable law to pay any portion of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred being converted, the Corporation shall pay such dividends to the converting holder as soon thereafter as funds of the Corporation are legally available for such payment. At the request of any such converting holder, the Corporation shall provide such holder with written evidence of its obligation to such holder.
          (vi) The issuance of certificates for shares of Conversion Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred shall be made without charge to the holders of such Series B Preferred for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Conversion Stock. Upon conversion of each Share, the Corporation shall take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Conversion Stock issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued,

- 11 -


 

fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.
          (vii) The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of Series B Preferred or of Conversion Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Series B Preferred. The Corporation shall assist and cooperate with any holder of Shares required to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approval prior to or in connection with any conversion of Shares hereunder (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Corporation).
          (viii) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred, such number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred. All shares of Conversion Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Conversion Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Conversion Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred.
          5D. Conversion Price. The initial Conversion Price shall be $13.875. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 5, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to this Section 5D, Section 5E, Section 5F and Section 5G.
          5E. Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and if the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.
          5F. Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or other transaction, in each case which is effected in such a manner that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Corporation shall make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably

- 12 -


 

satisfactory to the Majority Holders) to insure that the Series B Preferred shall not be cancelled or retired as a result of such Organic Change and each of the holders of the Series B Preferred shall thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the shares of Conversion Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder’s Series B Preferred, such shares of stock, securities or assets as such holder would have received in connection with such Organic Change if such holder had converted its Series B Preferred immediately prior to such Organic Change. In each such case, the Corporation shall also make appropriate provisions (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders) to insure that the provisions of this Section 5 and Section 6 hereof shall thereafter be applicable to the Series B Preferred (including, in the case of any such consolidation, merger or sale in which the successor entity or purchasing entity is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment of the Conversion Price, and a corresponding immediate adjustment in the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of Series B Preferred, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price determined as of the date of such consolidation, merger or sale). The Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders), the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.
          5G. Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of Series B Preferred; provided that no such adjustment shall increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5 or decrease the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion of each Share of Series B Preferred.
          5H. Notices.
          (i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to all holders of Series B Preferred, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying the calculation of such adjustment.
          (ii) The Corporation shall give written notice to all holders of Series B Preferred at least 20 days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (a) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon Common Stock, (b) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (c) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation.
          (iii) The Corporation shall also give written notice to the holders of Series B Preferred at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change shall take place.

- 13 -


 

          5I. No Avoidance. If the Corporation shall enter into any transaction for the purpose of avoiding the application of the provisions of this Section 5, the benefits of such provisions shall nevertheless apply and be preserved.
Section 6. Purchase Rights.
          If at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Right”), then each holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Conversion Stock acquirable upon conversion of such holder’s Series B Preferred immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
Section 7. Events of Noncompliance.
          7A. Definition. An “Event of Noncompliance” shall have occurred if:
