3.    This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted pursuant to a plan of reorganization confirmed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court on July 10, 2003 in accordance with Section 303 of Title 8 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

4.    This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) restates and integrates and further amends the Original Certificate of Incorporation, as heretofore amended or supplemented.

SECOND:    The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 9 East Loockerman Street, Suite 1B, Dover, Kent County, Delaware 19901. The name of the Corporation’s registered agent at such address is National Registered Agents, Inc.

 

THIRD:    The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which Corporations may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

FOURTH:    A description of each class and series of stock of the Corporation and the voting rights, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof is as follows:


1.    Capital Stock.    The Corporation shall have two classes of capital stock (the “Capital Stock”): Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

 

(a)    Number of Shares.    The total authorized number of shares of each class of Capital Stock is (i) 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 15,000 shares have been designated “Series A Preferred Stock”.

 

(b)    Preferred Stock.    The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”), to determine or alter the rights, preferences, powers, privileges and the restrictions, qualifications and limitations granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof; to increase or decrease the number of shares constituting any such series; 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 as are then issued and outstanding, and if any series shall be so decreased, the shares then 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.

 

(c)    Prohibition of Non-Voting Capital Stock.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not issue any nonvoting equity securities to the extent prohibited by Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that this subsection 1(c) of this Article FOURTH (i) will have no further force and effect beyond that required under Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) will have such force and effect, if any, only for so long as such section of the Bankruptcy Code is in effect and applicable to the Corporation, and (iii) in all events may be amended or eliminated in accordance with such applicable law as from time to time may be in effect.

 

2.    Dividends and Other Distributions.

 

(a)    Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(i)    Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available therefor, a dividend at the annual rate of 12% of the Base Amount (as hereinafter defined) of each share of Series A Preferred Stock from and including the date of issuance of such share to and including the day on which the Liquidation Value (as

 

2


hereinafter defined) of such share is paid. Such dividends shall accrue from day to day, whether or not earned or declared, on each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, and shall be cumulative. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any share of Series A Preferred Stock will be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such share is made on the stock records of the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such share, provided, however, that all shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued prior to the first Dividend Reference Date (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed, for purposes of this Subsection (a), to have been issued on March 27, 1998.

 

(ii)    If declared by the Board, dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be paid on each March 31, commencing March 31, 2004 (the “Dividend Reference Dates”), while such share is outstanding.

 

(iii)    Any dividends that accrue on any share of Series A Preferred Stock during the period ending upon such Dividend Reference Date that are not paid on such Dividend Reference Date and that have not previously been added to the Base Amount of such share shall automatically be added to the Base Amount of such share and will remain a part thereof until such dividends are paid, at which time the Base Amount shall be reduced by such payment.

 

(iv)    The “Base Amount” of any share of Series A Preferred Stock as of a particular date shall be an amount equal to the sum of $1,000.00 plus any unpaid dividends on such share added to the Base Amount of such share as provided above and not thereafter paid.

 

(b)    Dividends on Common Stock.    The holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends ratably as may from time to time be declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor.

 

3.    Voting Rights.

 

Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, at every meeting of the stockholders (or for actions by written consent of stockholders), except as otherwise required by law, on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)    Voting as a Single Class.    Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters presented to the stockholders.

 

3


(b)    Voting by Series A Preferred Stock.    In any matter to be voted on by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have one tenth of one vote for each such share held by such holder.

4.    Liquidation.

 

(a)    Series A Preferred Stock.    Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made upon any shares of Common Stock, to be paid in cash, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, an amount equal to the Base Amount of such share on such date, plus all unpaid dividends accrued on such share from the previous Dividend Reference Date through the close of business on the date of payment (the “Liquidation Value”). If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets to be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to the holders thereof of such amounts, then all of the assets of the Corporation then remaining and legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(b)    Common Stock.    Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment in full of the Liquidation Value of the Series A Preferred Stock and the liquidation value of any other series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably all remaining assets of the Corporation to be distributed among them, based upon the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.

 

5.    Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(a)    Redemption Upon Initial Public Offering.

 

(i)    Promptly after the closing of an underwritten, initial public offering of the Corporation’s Common Stock for cash pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Corporation shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock by paying in cash to the holders thereof an amount equal to the Liquidation Value thereof. Such payment shall be made to the record holders of the Series A Preferred

Such redemption shall be made by paying such amount to the record holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and shall be accompanied by written notice specifying the number of shares that are being redeemed from each holder.
