EXHIBIT 4.2
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE POWERS,
PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING,
OPTIONAL AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF 8.0%
SENIOR CUMULATIVE
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES A, AND
QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS THEREOF
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
Brightstar Corp. (the "Corporation"), a corporation organized and
existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby
certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the board of directors of the
Corporation (the "Board of Directors") by its Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and
pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the DGCL, said Board of Directors,
by unanimous written consent dated December 29, 2003, duly approved and adopted
the following resolution (the "Resolution"):
RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of
Directors by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors does hereby create, authorize and provide for the issuance of
8.0% Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, par value
$0.0001 per share, with an initial stated value of $8.00 per share,
consisting of 3,750,000 shares, having the designations, preferences,
relative, participating, optional and other special rights and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof that are set forth in
the Certificate of Incorporation and in this Resolution as follows:
(a) Designation. There is hereby created out of the authorized and
unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation a class of Preferred Stock
designated as the "8.0% Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series
A." The number of shares constituting such class shall be 3,750,000 and are
referred to herein as the "Convertible Preferred Stock." The liquidation
preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be $8.00 per share as
adjusted for each stock combination, split or recapitalization with respect to
such share (the "Liquidation Amount").
(b) Rank. The Convertible Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend
distributions and distributions upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution of
the Corporation, rank (i) senior to all classes of Common Stock and to each
other class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or series of Preferred Stock of
the Corporation existing or hereafter created the terms of which do not
expressly provide that it ranks senior to, or on a parity with, the Convertible
-2-
Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon liquidation,
winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation (collectively referred to,
together with all classes of Common Stock of the Corporation, as "Junior
Securities"); (ii) on a parity with any class of Capital Stock of the
Corporation or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation hereafter created
the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series will rank on a
parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and
distributions upon liquidation, winding-up and dissolution (collectively
referred to as "Parity Securities"), provided that any such Parity Securities
that were not approved by the Holders in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii)
hereof shall be deemed to be Junior Securities and not Parity Securities; and
(iii) junior to each other class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or series
of Preferred Stock of the Corporation hereafter created the terms of which
expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior to the Convertible
Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon liquidation,
winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation (collectively referred to as
"Senior Securities"), provided that any such Senior Securities that were not
approved by the Holders in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii) hereof shall be
deemed to be Junior Securities and not Senior Securities.
(c) Dividends.
(i) From the Issue Date thereof, (A) the Holders of the outstanding
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor,
dividends on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal
to, except as set forth below, 8.0% of the Liquidation Amount per share of the
Convertible Preferred Stock and (B) in the event that the Corporation shall
declare a dividend or make any other distribution (including, without
limitation, in cash, in Capital Stock (which shall include, without limitation,
any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to acquire Capital
Stock of the Corporation, whether or not pursuant to a shareholder rights plan,
"poison pill" or similar arrangement) or other property or assets) on or with
respect to shares of any class of Common Stock of the Corporation, then the
Board of Directors shall declare, and the Holder of each share of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in respect of each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock, a dividend or distribution in an amount equal to
the amount of such dividend or distribution received by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock for which such share of Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible on the date of the payment of such dividend to holders of Common
Stock. All dividends provided for in clause (A) above shall be cumulative,
whether or not earned or declared, accruing on a daily basis from the Issue Date
of such shares; provided that not less than one-half (1/2) of the amount of such
dividends shall be payable (provided that such cash payment is not then
prohibited under the DGCL, any other applicable law, or the terms of any Covered
Indebtedness) in cash quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date,
commencing on March 31,2004; provided, further, that (x) if as of any Dividend
Payment Date the Corporation shall have failed to pay in cash at least one-half
(1/2) of the dividends due and payable on such date, including, without
limitation, if such
-3-
dividends have not been declared by the Board of Directors or if funds therefor
are not legally available or are not permitted by applicable law or any Covered
Indebtedness (a "Payment Default"), then the dividend rate on each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall increase to a rate per annum equal to 10.0% of
the Liquidation Amount per share of the Convertible Preferred Stock effective as
of the first day of the Dividend Period for such Dividend Payment Date to which
such Payment Default relates, (y) if any Protective Default shall have occurred,
the per annum dividend rate shall increase to a rate per annum equal to 10.0% of
the Liquidation Amount per share of the Convertible Preferred Stock effective on
the date of such Protective Default and continuing during the continuance of
such Protective Default and (z) if any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall remain outstanding (an "Outside Date Default") on September 30, 2009 (the
"Outside Date"), the dividend rate on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall increase by 1.0% per annum on the Outside Date and shall increase by an
additional 1.0% per annum on each 30th calendar day thereafter up to a maximum
dividend rate of 15.0% per annum until such time as no shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding. After the date on which such Payment
Default, in the case of clause (x) above, and/or Protective Default, in the case
of clause (y) above, as the case may be, ceases to exist, the dividend rate will
revert to the rate originally borne by the Convertible Preferred Stock on the
First Issue Date. The increase in the dividend rate provided for above (i) shall
be the exclusive remedy of the Holders in the case of a Payment Default and (ii)
shall not be the exclusive remedy at law or in equity of the Holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock for any Protective Default or Outside Date Default
and shall in no way be deemed a waiver of such Protective Default or Outside
Date Default or be deemed to validate any action underlying any such Protective
Default or Outside Date Default.
In the event that the Corporation shall not have funds legally
available for, or is otherwise prohibited by either (A) the DGCL or any other
applicable law, or (B) the terms of any Covered Indebtedness to pay any amounts
under this paragraph, the obligation to pay such amounts shall be carried
forward and fulfilled when such funds are legally available and the Corporation
is permitted to do so under the DGCL and any other applicable law and the terms
of any Covered Indebtedness. All unpaid dividends will compound on a quarterly
basis on each Dividend Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the then
applicable dividend rate.
Each dividend shall be payable to the Holders of record as they
appear on the stock books of the Corporation on the Dividend Record Date
immediately preceding the related Dividend Payment Date; provided that any
dividend or distribution payable pursuant to clause (B) above of the first
paragraph of this paragraph (c)(i) shall be paid to the Holders of shares of
record as they appear on the stock books and the Corporation on the record date
applicable to holders of Common Stock and shall be paid to the Holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock at the same time such dividend or distribution is
made to holders of Common Stock, provided that such cash payment to all holders
of Common Stock is not then prohibited under the DGCL, any other applicable law,
or the terms of any Covered Indebtedness.
-4-
(ii) All dividends paid with respect to shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) shall be paid pro rata to the
Holders entitled thereto.
(iii) (A) No full dividends shall be declared by the Board of
Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation on any Parity
Securities for any period unless (1) full cumulative dividends have been or
contemporaneously are declared and paid in full, or declared and a sum in cash
set apart sufficient for such payment, on the Convertible Preferred Stock for
all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such full
dividends on such Parity Securities and (2) such payment is in compliance with
paragraph (m)(i) hereof. If any dividends are not so paid, all dividends
declared upon shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Parity
Securities shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared
per share on the Convertible Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities shall in
all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on
the Convertible Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities bear to each other.
(B) So long as any share of the Convertible Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any
dividend on any of the Junior Securities, or make any payment on account of, or
set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the
purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any of the Junior Securities or
any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any
of the Junior Securities whether in cash, obligations or shares of the
Corporation or other property, and shall not permit any corporation or other
entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Corporation to purchase or
redeem any of the Junior Securities or any such warrants, rights, calls or
options (other than in exchange for Junior Securities) unless (1) full
cumulative dividends determined in accordance herewith on the Convertible
Preferred Stock have been paid in full for all full quarterly dividend periods
ended prior to the date of such payment and (2) such payment is in compliance
with paragraph (m)(i) hereof.
(C) So long as any share of the Convertible Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Corporation shall not (except with respect to dividends as
permitted by paragraph (c)(iii)(A)) make any payment on account of, or set
apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the purchase,
redemption or other retirement of, any of the Parity Securities or any warrants,
rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any of the Parity
Securities whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Corporation or other
property, and shall not permit any corporation or other entity directly or
indirectly controlled by the Corporation to purchase or redeem any of the Parity
Securities or any such warrants, rights, calls or options unless (1) full
cumulative dividends determined in accordance herewith on the Convertible
Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are paid in full for all full
quarterly dividend periods ending prior to the date of such payment and (2) such
payment is in compliance with paragraph (m)(i) hereof.
-5-
(iv) Dividends payable on the Convertible Preferred Stock for any
period less than a year shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months and, for periods not involving a full calendar month, the
actual number of days elapsed (not to exceed 30 days).
(d) Liquidation Preference.
(i) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (a "Liquidation
Event"), the Holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to be paid (provided that such cash payment is not then prohibited under the
DGCL, any other applicable law, or the terms of any Covered Indebtedness) out of
the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an
amount in cash equal to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) the Liquidation Amount
for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding or (y) the amount they
would be entitled to receive as if all of the shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock had been converted into Common Stock as of the date immediately prior to
the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive a
distribution in such Liquidation Event, plus (B) an amount in cash equal to
accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation,
dissolution, winding up, merger, consolidation, reorganization, sale,
assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition, as the case may be
(including an amount equal to a prorated dividend for the period from the last
Dividend Payment Date to such date) before any distribution shall be made or any
assets distributed in respect of Junior Securities to the holders of any Junior
Securities including, without limitation, Common Stock of the Corporation (the
"Liquidation Payment").
(ii) If upon any Liquidation Event, the amounts payable with respect
to the Convertible Preferred Stock under paragraph (d)(i) above are not paid in
full, the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and Parity Securities will
share equally and ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation first
in proportion to the full liquidation preference to which each is entitled until
such preferences are paid in full, and then in proportion to their respective
amounts of accumulated but unpaid dividends.
(iii) (A) For the purposes of this paragraph (d), neither the sale,
conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other
consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the
Corporation, nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one
or more entities shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the affairs of the Corporation.
(e) [Reserved].
-6-
(f) Conversion and Anti-Dilution Provisions.
(i) Holders' Right to Convert. The Holder of any share of
Convertible Preferred Stock may at any time and from time to time convert such
share into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as
determined by dividing the Liquidation Amount by the Conversion Price. Such
conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender of the shares to be
converted to the Corporation, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation
of such Holder's election to convert.
(ii) Corporation's Right to Convert. The Corporation may convert the
outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock in whole but not in part with each share
of Convertible Preferred Stock converting into such number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing the Liquidation
Amount by the Conversion Price then in effect:
(A) if the Corporation consummates an underwritten initial public
offering of the Common Stock of the Corporation (1) pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed with the Commission in accordance
with the Securities Act (whether alone or in conjunction with a secondary
public offering), resulting in gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000 and
(2)(a) if such offering occurs prior to the first anniversary of the First
Issue Date, the shares of Common Stock sold in such offering are sold at a
price to the public of at least 150% of the Conversion Price then in
effect; provided that prior to or simultaneous with such conversion, the
Holders and Noteholders receive in the aggregate on a pro rata basis at
least $30,000,000 in cash in consideration for Conversion Shares (valued
at the price to the public referred to in this clause (2)(a)) or (b) the
shares of Common Stock sold in such offering are sold at a price to the
public of at least 200% of the Conversion Price then in effect (either
event described under (2)(a) and (2)(b) above a "Qualifying IPO"), or
(B) upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, so long as the value
of the cash consideration to be paid to the Holders in respect of their
Conversion Shares is at least equal to 200% of the Liquidation Amount of
the Convertible Preferred Stock plus accumulated and unpaid dividends
thereon.
(iii) (A) To convert a share of Convertible Preferred Stock into
shares of Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (i), the Holder of such share
of Convertible Preferred Stock must surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer
agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock, and give written notice to the
Corporation at its principal corporate office of the election to convert such
shares, and, if desired, the name of such Holder's nominee in which the
certificates for Common Stock issued upon such conversion are to be issued;
provided, however, that if a Holder delivers a notice of conversion after the
Outside Date then such Holder may make its conversion contingent upon the
consummation of one or more events and such Holder's shares of
-7-
Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be converted until
immediately prior to the consummation of such event(s) (but solely for purposes
of determining any record date for the stockholders of the Corporation entitled
to participate in such event(s), such conversion shall be deemed to have
occurred immediately prior to such record date). The Corporation shall, as soon
as practicable after such surrender (and following the effectiveness of such
conversion, in the case of a conditional conversion), issue and deliver at such
office to such Holder of Convertible Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or
nominees of such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares
of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled as a result of such conversion.
Such conversion shall be deemed to have been immediately prior to the close of
business on the date notice of conversion is received by the Corporation if the
conversion is made pursuant to subparagraph (f)(i), or immediately prior to the
close of business on the date notice of conversion is received by the Holders if
the conversion is made pursuant to subparagraph (f)(ii), and upon the
effectiveness of such conversion on such date, all rights of the Holder of such
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock as a Holder of such shares shall cease at
such time, and the Person(s) in whose name(s) the certificates for such shares
of Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having
become the record holders) thereof at such time; provided, however, that if a
Holder delivers a notice of conversion pursuant to paragraph (f)(i) after the
Outside Date then, if such Holder shall have elected to make its conversion
contingent upon the consummation of one or more events, such conversion shall
not be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such event(s)
(but solely for purposes of determining any record date for the stockholders of
the Corporation entitled to participate in such event(s), such conversion shall
be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to such record date), it being
understood that if such event(s) is/are not consummated in accordance with the
terms of such conditional conversion then such conversion shall not be effective
unless consented to in writing by such Holder.
(B) In the event of a conversion pursuant to subparagraph (f)(ii),
upon the date of receipt of notice by each Holder from the Corporation of its
election to convert all of the outstanding Shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock, the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted
automatically without any further action by the Holders of such shares or any
other Person and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are
surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that
the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates
evidencing such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are either delivered to
the Corporation or its transfer agent, as provided below, or the Holder notifies
the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost,
stolen, or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation
to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with
such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such conversion of Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall surrender the
certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any
transfer agent for Convertible Preferred Stock or provide an indemnity agreement
as described above. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such
Holder
-8-
promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate
or certificates (or as contemplated by such indemnity agreement), a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which
such conversion occurred, and any declared and unpaid dividends shall be paid in
accordance with the provisions of clause (iv) below.
(iv) Dividends on Converted Stock. The Holder of any share of
Convertible Preferred Stock that is converted at a time that there are
accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares shall continue to be entitled to
receive such dividends notwithstanding the conversion thereof (but such shares
shall not accumulated dividends after the date of conversion), the payment of
which dividends shall be subject to the same preference and priority as would
apply if the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock on which such dividends
accrued were outstanding; provided that if on the date of such conversion, the
Corporation shall be entitled to pay dividends on such converted shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the DGCL then the Corporation
shall declare and pay (provided that such cash payment is not then prohibited
under the terms of any Covered Indebtedness) such dividends on such converted
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to the maximum extent permitted by the
DGCL (and such Covered Indebtedness) no later than five Business Days following
the date of the conversion of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
(v) Adjustments to Number of Shares. The number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(A) If, after the First Issue Date, the Corporation (I) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its
Capital Stock, (II) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, (III) combines its outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (IV) issues by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock
of the Corporation (including any reclassification in connection with a
merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving
corporation), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be adjusted
so that the holder of any share of the Convertible Preferred Stock
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the
number and kind of shares of Capital Stock that such holder would have
owned immediately following such action had such share been converted
immediately prior thereto and the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this
subparagraph (f)(v)(A) shall become effective immediately after the record
in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination, or reclassification.
-9-
(B) If, after the First Issue Date, the Corporation issues or sells
any shares of Common Stock or is deemed to have issued or sold any shares
of its Common Stock (including Common Stock deemed to have been issued or
sold pursuant to sub-paragraph (f)(v)(E)(III)) as a result of the
issuance of any options, warrants or convertible securities for
consideration of less than the Current Market Price, then the Conversion
Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined
by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
date by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date plus the number of shares
which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common
Stock so issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) (or the aggregate
conversion price or exercise price of the warrants, options or convertible
securities so issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold)) would purchase at
the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such date, and of
which (y) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of
Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) (or into which the
warrants, options or convertible securities so issued or sold (or deemed
issued or sold) are convertible).
(C) If, after the First Issue Date, the Corporation declares a
distribution payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other Persons, or assets
(excluding cash dividends), then in each such case the Conversion Price
shall be adjusted to the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per
share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below (which will
be prior to the distribution) less the then Fair Market Value of the
portion of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, or assets so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the
denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution.
(D) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this subparagraph
(f)(v), no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price as a result of
any of the following:
(I) the grant of options, warrants, or rights to purchase
Common Stock to employees, officers or directors of the Corporation
under option plans and agreements approved by the Corporation's
Board of Directors with an exercise price per share of not less than
the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date such
option, warrant or other right is issued;
-10-
(II) without duplication of clause (I) above, the issuance of
securities upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants, rights
or other securities that are outstanding on the First Issue Date;
and
(III) the issuance of securities for which an adjustment is
made under another provision of this subparagraph (f)(v).
(E) The following rules shall apply for purposes of this
subparagraph (f)(v):
(I) In the case of the issuance or sale of Common Stock for
cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts,
commissions, or other expenses allowed, paid, or incurred by the
Corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the
issuance and sale thereof.
(II) In the case of the issuance or sale of Common Stock for a
consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
other than cash shall be valued at the Fair Market Value thereof.
(III) In the case of the issuance or sale of options or
warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock,
securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock, or options or warrants to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the
following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this
subparagraph (f)(v):
(a) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of
any conditions to exercisability, including without
limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into
account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options or
warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock
shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options,
warrants, or rights were issued and for consideration equal to
the consideration (determined in the manner provided in this
subparagraph (f)(v)(E)), if any, received by the Corporation
upon the issuance of such options, warrants, or rights plus
the minimum exercise price provided in such options, warrants,
or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution
adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(b) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange (assuming
the satisfaction
-11-
of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability,
including, without limitation, the passage of time, but
without taking into account potential antidilution
adjustments) for any such convertible or exchangeable
securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange
thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
securities were issued or such options, warrants, or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the
consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for any
such securities or options, warrants, or rights, plus the
minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by
the Corporation (without taking into account potential
antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of
such securities or upon the exercise of such options,
warrants, or rights and subsequent conversion or exchange of
the underlying convertible or exchangeable securities, as
appropriate (the consideration in each case to be determined
in the manner provided in this subparagraph (f)(v)(E)).
(c) In the event of any change in the number of shares
of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to
the Corporation upon exercise of such options, warrants, or
rights with respect to either Common Stock or such convertible
or exchangeable securities or upon conversion of or in
exchange for such convertible or exchange able securities,
including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price, to the
extent in any way affected by or computed using such options,
warrants, rights, or securities, shall be recomputed to
reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made
for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such
consideration upon the exercise of any such options, warrants,
or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(d) Upon the expiration of any such options, warrants,
or rights with respect to either Common Stock or such
convertible or exchangeable securities or the termination of
any such rights to convert or exchange, the Conversion Price,
to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such
options, warrants, rights, or securities shall be recomputed
to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Com
mon Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options,
warrants, or rights with respect to Common Stock, upon the
conversion or exchange of such securities, or the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of
the convertible or exchangeable
-12-
securities that were actually issued upon exercise of
options, warrants or rights related to such securities.
(e) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued
and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to
subparagraphs (f)(v)(E)(III)(a) and (b) shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any change, termination, or expiration of
the type described in either sub-paragraph (f)(v)(E)(III)(c)
or (d).
(f) No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made
in an amount less than l/100th of one cent per share; provided
that any adjustments that are not required to be made by
reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be
taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made.
(vi) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall
be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock but instead, upon conversion, at the option of the exercising Holder
either (i) fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and
the exercising Holder shall pay to the Corporation the portion of the Conversion
Price per share represented by such fractional share or (ii) the Corporation
shall pay to the exercising Holder the portion of the Current Market Price per
share represented by such fractional share. If more than one such share of
Convertible Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at the same time by
the same holder, the number of full shares that are issuable upon the conversion
thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares so
surrendered.
(vii) Mergers; Etc. If there is (i) any consolidation, merger, or
conversion to which the Corporation is a party, other than a consolidation or a
merger that does not result in any reclassification or exchange of, or change
in, outstanding shares of the Common Stock, (ii) any sale or conveyance to
another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or
(iii) any other event that causes the holders of Common Stock to receive a
different or additional kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or
other property (other than an event for which an adjustment in the kind and
amount of shares of stock or other securities or other property for which the
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible is otherwise made pursuant to this
paragraph (f)), then the holder of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall have the right upon conversion pursuant to the terms
hereof to receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities
and property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, or
other event by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such share immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance, or other event, subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
-13-
paragraph (f). The provisions of this subparagraph (f)(vii) shall similarly
apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conversions, sales, conveyances,
and other events.
(viii) Reserves. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times
reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion
of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common
Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares,
provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the
Corporation from satisfying its obligations in respect of the conversion of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock by delivery of shares of Common Stock that
are held in the treasury of the Corporation.
(ix) Preferred Conversion Shares. The shares of Common Stock and
other securities issued upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock and any
other securities into which the Common Stock or other such securities are
changed, reclassified, split, combined, or converted or for which they are
exchanged by amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by consolidation,
merger, or otherwise, and any securities paid as a dividend thereon are
collectively called the "Preferred Conversion Shares." Appropriate adjustment
shall be made to this Certificate of Designation, including the term "Common
Stock;" to give effect to each such change, reclassification, split,
combination, conversion, exchange, or dividend.
(x) Transfer Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all
documentary, stamp, issue or transfer taxes, and any other similar taxes payable
in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that
the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made
unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the
Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(xi) No Adjustment Less than Par Value. No adjustment in the
Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value of
the Common Stock.
(xii) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price or
conversion privilege is adjusted, the Corporation shall promptly mail to Holders
a notice of the adjustment briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment
and the manner of computing it.
(xiii) Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that:
(A) the Corporation takes any action which would require an
adjustment in the Conversion Price;
-14-
(B) the Corporation proposes to consolidate or merge with, or
transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to, another
Person and shareholders of the Corporation must approve the transaction;
or
(C) there is a proposed Liquidation Event with respect to the
Corporation,
the Corporation shall mail to the Holders a notice stating the proposed record
or effective date, as the case may be. The Corporation shall mail the notice at
least ten days before such record or effective date, whichever is first.
(g) Voting Rights.
(i) Generally. The Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have
the right to receive notice of any meeting of holders of Common Stock or
Convertible Preferred Stock and to vote upon any matter submitted to a vote of
the holders of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
(including the Certificate of Designation of which this Certificate of
Designation will form a part and all other Certificates of Designation with
respect to other classes or series of securities), the holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall vote on each matter submitted to them with the holders of
all other classes and series of Capital Stock entitled to vote on such matter,
taken together as a single class.
(ii) Special Matters. For so long as at least 66 2/3% of the shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock issued under this Certificate of Designation
remain outstanding, the Corporation may not effect any of the following without
the consent and approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting or consenting, as the case may be, as one
class, separately from the holders of each other class and series of securities
of the Corporation, in person or by proxy, either in writing or by resolution
adopted at an annual or special meeting:
(1) the authorization or issuance of (or reclassification of
any Junior Securities to) any class of (or the amendment of any
terms of) Parity Securities;
(2) the authorization or issuance of (or reclassification of
any Junior Securities or Parity Securities to) any class of (or the
amendment of any terms of) Senior Securities;
(3) the amendment or waiver of any of the terms of its
Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation so
as to affect (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) the
specified rights, powers, preferences, or voting rights of the
Convertible Preferred Stock, including any action to increase
-15-
or decrease the number of authorized shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock;
(4) the authorization of any Liquidation Event or Change of
Control if after giving effect to such Liquidation Event or Change
of Control the Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive in respect of their Conversion Shares less than
the sum of (x)(I) 150% of the Conversion Price per share if such
Liquidation Event or Change of Control is consummated on or prior to
the first anniversary of the First Issue Date or (II) 200% of the
Conversion Price per share if such Liquidation Event or Change of
Control is consummated on or prior to the third anniversary of the
First Issue Date, and (y) accumulated but unpaid dividends to the
payment date for such Liquidation Event or Change of Control;
provided, however, that in the case of any Liquidation Event or
Change of Control that satisfies the requirements of clause (x)(I)
above (but not clause (x)(II)), then prior to or simultaneous with
such Liquidation Event or Change of Control, the Holders and
Noteholders shall have received in the aggregate on a pro rata basis
at least $30,000,000 in cash in consideration for Conversion Shares
(valued at the same valuation as the Common Stock in such
Liquidation Event or Change of Control);
(5) the authorization of any Restricted Junior Payment; and
(6) the commencement of any voluntary liquidation, winding-up
or dissolution of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder of
Convertible Preferred Stock, no such amendment or waiver of the Certificate of
Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation (whether by merger,
consolidation or otherwise) may (i) subject any Holder to any additional
obligation, (ii) reduce the Liquidation Amount of or dividend rate on the
Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of
the Liquidation Amount, or any dividends or other payments in respect of the
Convertible Preferred Stock, (iv) change the percentage of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock the Holders of which shall be required to consent or
take any other action under this paragraph (g) or any other provision of this
Certificate of Designation, (v) adversely effect the conversion rights of the
Convertible Preferred Stock or (vi) adversely effect the ranking of the
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(iii) Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. Without the
affirmative vote or consent of the Required Holders, voting or consenting, as
the case may be, as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in
writing or by resolution adopted at an annual or special meeting, the
Corporation shall not, in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, assign, transfer,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets
(other than any such sale, assignment,
-16-
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition (collectively, a "Transfer")
occurring following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an "event of
default" under any item of Covered Indebtedness if (i) such Transfer is not to
an Affiliate of the Corporation or any stockholder thereof, (ii) the Corporation
receives proceeds at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets
Transferred and (iii) such proceeds consist of at least 80% cash or Cash
Equivalents) to, another Person unless: (I) at or prior to the consummation of
such transaction all of the then outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock are repurchased pursuant to paragraphs (f) or (1) or converted in
accordance with paragraph (f), or (II) (A) either (1) the Corporation is the
continuing Person or (2) the Person (if other than the Corporation) formed by
such consolidation or into which the Corporation is merged or to which the
properties and assets of the Corporation are sold, assigned, transferred,
leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed of shall be a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the
District of Columbia and shall expressly assume all of the obligations of the
Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the obligations hereunder
and thereunder shall remain in full force and effect; (B) if the Corporation is
not the surviving Person, the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted
into or exchanged for and shall become shares of such successor, transferee or
resulting Person, having in respect of such successor, transferee or resulting
Person the same powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereon, and ranking in relation to all other Capital Stock then outstanding,
that the Convertible Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction;
and (C) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (including any
Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with the
transaction), no Payment Default, Protective Default or Outside Date Default
have occurred or be continuing.
For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment,
sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of related transactions) of
all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries
of the Corporation, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be the
transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the
Corporation.
(iv) Number of Votes. In any case in which the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote pursuant to this
Certificate of Designation or pursuant to Delaware law, each holder of
Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to vote with respect to such matter shall
be entitled to vote, with respect to each share of such Convertible Preferred
Stock, the number of votes that equals the number of shares of Common Stock into
which such share of Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible.
(h) Conversion or Exchange. The Holders of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall not have any rights hereunder to convert such shares into or
exchange such shares
-17-
for shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of any class or
classes of Capital Stock of the Corporation other than as provided in this
Certificate of Designation.
(i) Reissuance of Convertible Preferred Stock. Shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including
shares purchased or redeemed or exchanged, shall (upon compliance with any
applicable provisions of the laws of Delaware) have the status of authorized and
unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series and may be
redesignated and reissued as part of any series of Preferred Stock; provided
that any issuance of such shares of Preferred Stock must be in compliance with
the terms hereof.
(j) Business Day. If any payment, redemption or exchange shall be required
by the terms hereof to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, such
payment, redemption or exchange shall be made on the immediately succeeding
Business Day.
(k) Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designation
or by applicable law, all notices, requests, demands, and other communications

address for purposes of this paragraph (k) by giving written notice of such
change to the Corporation in the manner herein above provided. Whenever any
notice is required to be given by law or by this Certificate of Designation, a
written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before
or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of
notice.
(l) Change of Control.
(i) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of such
occurrence being the "Change of Control Date"), the Corporation shall make an
offer to purchase (the "Change of Control Offer") the outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to 101% of the Liquidation
Amount thereof, plus, without duplication,

of Control Payment Date;
(e) that Holders accepting the offer to have their Convertible
Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer

and
-19-
(g) any other reasonable procedures that a Holder must follow
to accept a Change of Control Offer.
(iii) The Corporation will comply with the requirements of Rule
14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations

with the repurchase of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a
Change of Control Offer, To the extent that the provisions of any securities

(A) accept for payment the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock validly
tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (B) promptly mail to the
Holders of shares so accepted the Change of Control Purchase Price therefor in
