ARTICLE 4

PROVISIONS RELATING TO CAPITAL STOCK

(1)    Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. To the extent not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Article 4, the Board of Directors is authorized to establish and designate the different series, and to fix and determine the variations and the relative rights and preferences among the different series, provided that all shares of Preferred Stock shall be identical except for variations so fixed and determined among the different series to the extent permitted by Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 156B, Section 26, and any successor to that Section.

(2)    The preferences, voting powers, qualifications, special or relative rights or privileges of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock are as follows:

(a)    Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after provision for the payment of creditors, the holders of each series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made upon any shares of Common Stock, to be paid the amount fixed by the Board of Directors in establishing such series plus (except as otherwise provided for any series of Preferred Stock) an amount equal to dividends accrued to the date of payment, and to no further payment. Except as otherwise fixed by the Board of Directors in establishing any series of Preferred Stock, in the event that the assets of this Corporation available for distribution to holders of Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment to such holders of such amounts, all the assets of the Corporation then remaining shall be distributed among the series of Preferred Stock ratably on the basis of the relative aggregate liquidation preferences of each series and, within each such series, ratably among the holders of the shares of such series. The aggregate amount of payments to be made to holders of Preferred Stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Corporation may be fixed by the Board of Directors in establishing any series at any amount and by any method up to the full amount legally available for distribution to stockholders. After payment in full has been made to all holders of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of this Corporation may be distributed to the holders of Common Stock. The holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in any such distribution to holders of Common Stock to the extent, if any, fixed for such series by the Board of Directors in establishing such series. Except as otherwise fixed by the Board of Directors in establishing any series of Preferred Stock, neither the purchase or redemption by this Corporation of shares of any class or series of its capital stock in any manner permitted by the Articles of Organization, nor the merger or consolidation of this Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by this Corporation of all or any part of its assets, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Corporation for the purposes of this Article 4.

(b)    Dividend Preference. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the purpose, dividends at such annual rate or rates, and no more, as are fixed for each series of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors in establishing such series, payable in cash or in property or in shares of any series of Preferred Stock, or in shares of Common Stock, or in any combination thereof. Holders of Preferred Stock may receive in the aggregate dividends equal to the full amount of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.


Except as otherwise provided for any series of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors in establishing such series, until all accrued dividends, if any, on all shares of Preferred Stock shall have been declared and set apart for payment, no dividend or distribution shall be made to holders of Common Stock, other than a dividend payable in Common Stock of this Corporation, nor shall any shares of Common Stock be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired. The holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in any dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock to the extent, if any, provided for such series by the Board of Directors in establishing such series.

(c)    Voting Powers and Qualifications. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters presented to stockholders. The holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class, or in combination with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, to the extent (if any), and in regard to such matters and transactions (if any), as the Board of Directors may fix in establishing any such series or as may be otherwise required by law. Maters and transactions as to which the Board of Directors, in establishing any series, may fix a separate class vote of holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof may include, without limitation, the election of a specified number or percentage of the directors, changes in this Corporation’s authorized capital stock, amendments to this Corporation’s Articles of Organization or Bylaws, mergers, a sale of substantially all of the assets of this Corporation, and dissolution of this Corporation. The Board of Directors may fix in establishing any series of Preferred Stock the percentage of votes required to approve any matter or transaction requiring a separate vote of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof. As to matters and transactions as to which the Preferred Stock is entitled to vote in combination with holders of Common Stock as a single class, the Board of Directors, in establishing any such series, may specify that the voting power of each share of such series may be greater or less than the voting power of each share of Common Stock, provided that Preferred Stock shall have no more than ten votes per share, or such greater number as is equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock are convertible.

(d)    Additional Special or Relative Rights or Privileges. Holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall enjoy such additional special or relative rights or privileges vis-à-vis the holders of Common Stock as the Board of Directors (subject to the limitations imposed by this Article 4) may fix in establishing such series, including, without limitation, rights of redemption, sinking or purchase fund provisions and conversion rights.

acquisition of outstanding shares of Voting Stock, or the issue or sale by this Corporation of shares of Voting Stock, that caused the Related Person to become a Related Person and (2) in advance of such acquisition or issue or sale, have expressly determined that the 80 percent voting requirement of Part 1 of this Section A shall not be applicable to Business Combinations with such Related Person.

(A)    the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees and with appropriate adjustments for recapitalizations and for stock splits, stock dividends and like distributions, such distributions to be valued as of the distribution date) paid by the Related Person for any share of Common Stock acquired by it (1) within the six-month period immediately prior to the earlier of the Business Combination or the first public announcement of either (a) the proposal of the Business Combination, or (b) a tender or exchange offer which, if successful, would result in a Person together with its Affiliates and Associates owning 50% or more of the Voting Stock (the “Announcement Date”) or (2) in the transaction in which it became a Related Person; or

(B)    the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Announcement Date or on the date (the “Determination Date”) on which the Related Person became a Related person, whichever is higher; or

(C)    the price per share equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock determined pursuant to subparagraph (i)(B) above, multiplied by the ration of (1) the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees and with appropriate adjustments for recapitalizations and for stock splits, stock dividends and like distributions, such distributions to be valued as of the distribution date) paid by the Related Person for any shares of Common Stock acquired by it within the six-month period immediately prior to the earlier of the Business Combination or the Announcement Date to (2) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the first day in such six-month period on which the Related Person acquired any shares of Common Stock.

(ii)    The aggregate Fair Market Value, as of the date of consummation of the Business Combination, of the consideration to be received per share by holders of shares of any class or series of Voting Stock other than Common Stock is at least equal to the highest amount determined under subclauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) below (it being intended that the requirements of this paragraph shall be required to be met with respect to every such class or series of Voting Stock, whether or not the Related Person has previously acquired any shares or a particular class or series of Voting Stock):

(A)    the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees and with appropriate adjustments for recapitalizations and for stock splits, stock dividends and like distributions, such distributions to be valued as of the distribution date) paid by the Related Person for any shares of such class or series of Voting Stock required by it (1) within the six-month period immediately prior to the earlier of the Business Combination or the Announcement date and (2) in the transaction in which it became a Related Person; or

(B)    the highest preferential amount per share to which the holders of shares of such class or series of Voting Stock would be entitled in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of this Corporation regardless of whether the Business Combination to be consummated constitutes such an event; or


(C)    the Fair Market Value per share of such class or series of Voting Stock on the Announcement Date or on the Determination Date, whichever is higher, or

(D)    the price per share equal to the Fair Market Value per share of such class or series of Voting Stock determined pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii)(C) above, multiplied by the ratio of (1) the highest per share price (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and soliciting dealers’ fees and with appropriate adjustments for recapitalizations and for stock splits, stock dividends and like distributions, such distributions to be valued as of the distribution date) paid by the Related Person for any shares of such class or series of Voting Stock acquired by it within the six-month period immediately prior to the earlier of the Business Combination or the Announcement Date to (2) the Fair Market Value per share of such class or series of Voting Stock on the first day in such six-month period upon which the Related Person acquired any shares of such class or series of Voting Stock.

(iii)    The consideration to be received by holders of a particular class or series of Voting Stock (including Common Stock) shall be in cash or in the same form as the Related Person has previously paid for shares of such class or series of Voting Stock. If the Related Person has paid for shares of any class or series of Voting Stock with varying forms of consideration, the form of consideration for such class or series of Voting Stock shall be either cash or the form used to acquire the largest number of shares of such class or series of Voting Stock previously acquired by the Related Person.

(iv)    After such Related Person has become a Related Person and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination: (A) except as approved by two-thirds of the Continuing Directors, there shall have been no failure to declare and pay in full at the regular date therefor any dividends (whether or not cumulative) on any outstanding Preferred Stock: (B) there shall have been (1) no reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Stock (except as necessary to reflect any subdivision of the Common Stock), except as approved by two-thirds of the Continuing Directors, and (2) an increase in such annual rate of dividends as necessary to reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock split), recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction which has the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, unless the failure so to increase such annual rate is approved in advance by two-thirds of the Continuing Directors holding office at the time of such approval; and (C) such Related Person shall not have become the “owner” (as that term is defined below) of any additional shares of Voting Stock except as part of the transaction which results in such Related Person becoming a Related Person.

(v)    After such Related Person has become a Related Person, such Related Person shall not have received the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by this Corporation or a Subsidiary, whether in anticipation of or in connection with such Business Combination or otherwise.

(vi)    A proxy or information statement describing the proposed Business Combination and complying with the disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder (or any subsequent provisions replacing the 1934 Act or such rules or regulations, and provided that no such proxy or information statement need be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other administrative agency enforcing the 1934 Act unless otherwise required by law) shall be mailed to stockholders of this Corporation at least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination (whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be mailed pursuant to the 1934 Act or subsequent provisions).

6B. EXCULPATION

A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as in effect at the time of such breach. No amendment or repeal of this Article 6B shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

6C. INDEMNIFICATION

The Corporation shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each of its directors and officers (including persons who serve at its request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization, or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan) against all liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties and counsel fees, incurred by such person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which such person may be involved or with which such person may be threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of such person’s being or having been such a director or officer, except with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of this Corporation (any person serving another organization in one or more of the indicated capacities at the request of this Corporation who shall have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of such other organization to be deemed as having acted in such manner with respect to this Corporation) or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, in the best interest of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan; provided, however, no indemnification shall be provided if a majority of the disinterested directors of this Corporation then in office, after having received a written opinion of independent legal counsel, shall determine that such director or officer did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of this Corporation. Expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by any director or officer in connection with the defense or disposition of any such action, suit or other proceeding shall be paid from time to time by this Corporation in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay the amounts so paid to this Corporation if it is ultimately determined that indemnification for such expenses is not authorized under this section. The foregoing shall not require this Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding initiated by or on behalf of such person.

The right of indemnification hereby provided shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any director or officer may be entitled. As used in this section, the terms “director” and “officer” include the relevant individual’s heirs, executors and administrators, and an “interested” director or officer is one against whom


in such capacity the proceedings in question or another proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then pending. Nothing contained in this section shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

 

6D. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

(1)    This Corporation may carry on any business, operation or activity referred to in Article 2 to the same extent as might an individual, whether as principal, agent, contractor or otherwise, and either alone or in conjunction or a joint venture or other arrangement with any corporation, association, trust, firm or individual.

(2)    This Corporation may carry on any business, operation or activity through a wholly or partly owned subsidiary.

(3)    This Corporation may be a partner in any business enterprise which it would have power to conduct by itself.

(4)    The directors may make, amend or repeal the bylaws in whole or in part, except with respect to any provision thereof which by law or the bylaws requires action by the stockholders.

(5)    Meetings of the stockholders may be held anywhere in the United States.

(6)    Except as otherwise provided by law, no stockholder shall have any right to examine any property or any books, accounts or other writings of this Corporation if there is reasonable ground for belief that such examination will for any reason be adverse to the interests of this Corporation, and a vote of the directors refusing permission to make such examination and setting forth that in the opinion of the directors such examination would be adverse to the interests of this Corporation shall be prima facie evidence that such examination would be adverse to the interests of this Corporation. Every such examination shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the directors may establish in regard thereto.

(7)    The directors may specify the manner in which the accounts of this Corporation shall be kept and may determine what constitutes net earnings, profits and surplus, what amounts, if any, shall be reserved for any corporate purpose, and what amounts, if any, shall be declared as dividends. Unless the board of directors otherwise specifies, the excess of the consideration for any share of its capital stock with par value issued by it over such par value shall be surplus. The board of directors may allocate to capital stock less than all of the consideration for any share of its capital stock without par value issued by it, in which case the balance of such consideration shall be surplus. All surplus shall be available for any corporate purpose, including the payment of dividends.

(8)    The purchase of other acquisition or retention by this Corporation of shares of its own capital stock shall not be deemed a reduction of its capital stock. Upon any reduction of capital or capital stock, no stockholder shall have any right to demand any distribution from this Corporation, except as and to the extent that the stockholders shall have provided at the time of authorizing such reduction.

(9)    The directors shall have the power to fix from time to time their compensation. No person shall be disqualified from holding any office by reason of any interest. In the absence of fraud, any director, officer or stockholder of this Corporation individually, or any individual having any interest in any concern which is a stockholder of this Corporation, or any concern in which any of such directors, officers, stockholders or individuals has any interest, may be a party to, or may be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in, any contract, transaction or other act of this Corporation, and

(a)    such contract, transaction or act shall not be in any way invalidated or otherwise affected by that fact;

(b)    no such director, officer, stockholder or individual shall be liable to account to this Corporation for any profit or benefit realized through any such contract, transaction or act; and


(c)    any such director of this Corporation may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the directors or of any committee thereof which shall authorize any such contract, transaction or act, and may vote to authorize the same;

provided, however, that any contract, transaction or act in which any director or officer of this Corporation is so interested individually or as a director, officer, trustee or member of any concern which is not a subsidiary or affiliate of this Corporation, or in which any directors or officers are so interested as holders, collectively, of a majority of shares of capital stock or other beneficial interest at the time outstanding in any concern which is not a subsidiary or affiliate of this Corporation, shall be duly authorized or ratified by a majority of the directors who are not so interested, to whom the nature of such interest has been disclosed and who have made any findings required by law;

the term “interest” including personal interest and interest as a director, officer, stockholder, shareholder, trustee, member or beneficiary of any concern;

John R.D. McClintock, Clerk of

DYNAMICS RESEARCH CORPORATION

(Name of Corporation)

located at 60 Concord Street, Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887 do hereby certify that at a meeting of the directors of the corporation held on July 14, 1988, the following vote establishing and designating a series of a class of stock and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof was duly adopted:

See Rider A


RIDER A

VOTED: That pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Articles of Organization, as amended, a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation be and it hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Participating Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Stock”) and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 1,500,000.

Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.

(A)    Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash to holders of record on the 15th day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $.25 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof, 10 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 10 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) 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 on the Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Stock.

(B)    The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 2 immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of or subdivision with respect to Common Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $.25 per share on the Series A Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(C)    Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A 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 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 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 Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.


Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof, each share of Series A Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 10 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(B)    Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Articles of Organization, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A 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)

(i)    If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors a default in preferred dividends (as hereinafter defined) shall exist, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class without regard to series (with each share of Preferred Stock being entitled to that number of votes to which it is entitled on matters submitted to stockholders generally, or, if it is not entitled to vote with respect to such matters, to one vote), shall have the right to elect two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote in the election of the two directors so to be elected by the holders of shares of Preferred Stock. Any director elected by the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, shall continue to serve as such director for the full term for which he shall have been elected notwithstanding that prior to the end of such term a default in preferred dividends shall cease to exist. If, prior to the end of the term of any director elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, a vacancy in the office of such director shall occur by reason of death, resignation, removal or disability, or for any other cause, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term in the manner provided in the By-laws of the Corporation, provided that, if the By-laws provide that such vacancy shall be filled by election by the stockholders at a meeting thereof, the right to fill such vacancy shall be vested in the holders of Preferred Stock, voting as a class as aforesaid, unless, in any such case, no default in preferred dividends shall exist at the time of such election.

(ii)    For the purposes of paragraph (C)(i) of this Section 3, a default in preferred dividends shall be deemed to have occurred whenever the amount of dividends in arrears upon any series of Preferred Stock shall be equivalent to six full quarterly dividends or more and, having so occurred, such default in preferred dividends shall be deemed to exist thereafter until all accrued dividends on all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid to the end of the last preceding quarterly dividend period. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prevent an amendment of the By-laws of the Corporation, in the manner therein provided, which shall increase the number of directors so as to provide as additional places on the Board of Directors either or both the directorships to be filled by the two directors so to be elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock or to prevent any other change in the number of directors of the Corporation.

(D)    Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A 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.

Section 4. Certain Restrictions

(A)    Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A 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 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 Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A 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;

(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 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 Stock; or

(iv)    purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A 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 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled 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.

Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(A)    Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Stock shall have received $10.00 per share plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock (which term shall include, for the purposes only of this Section 6, any series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 10 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in Section 8 hereof to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock; such number in clause (ii), the “Adjustment Number”). In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Series A Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.


(B)    In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series A Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.

Section 7. 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 Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof) equal to 10 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.

Section 8. Certain Adjustments. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the amounts set forth in Sections 2(A), 3(A), 6(A) and 7 hereof with respect to the multiple of (i) cash and non-cash dividends, (ii) votes, (iii) the Series A Liquidation Preference and (iv) an aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or other property referred to in Section 7 hereof, 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.

Section 9. Ranking. The Series A Stock shall rank pari passu with (or if determined by the Board of Directors in any vote establishing any other series of Preferred Stock, either senior and preferred to or junior and subordinate to as the case may be) each other Series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation with respect to dividends and/or preference upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 10. Redemption. The shares of Series A Stock may be redeemed by the Corporation at such times and on such terms as may be agreed to between the Corporation and the redeeming stockholder, subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law or the Articles of Organization, as amended, of the Corporation.

Section 11. Amendment. The Articles of Organization, as amended, 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 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 Stock, voting together as a single class.

Section 12. Fractional Shares. Series A 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 to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Stock.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF AND UNDER THE PENALTIES OF PERJURY, we have hereto signed our names this 14th day of July in the year 1988.

Section 6. Liquidation. Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a)    Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior (upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Stock shall have received $10.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such distribution (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock (which term shall include, for the purposes only of this Section 6, any series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Series B Liquidation Preference by 10 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in Section 8 hereof to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock; such number in this clause (ii), as the same may be adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment Number”.

(b)    In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series B Stock, then any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series B Stock and the holders of such parity stock in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.

(c)    None of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other entity, the sale of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation or the distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation of all or substantially all of the consideration for such sale, unless such consideration (apart from the assumption of liabilities) or the net proceeds thereof consists substantially entirely of cash, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 6.

(d)    Each share of Series B Stock shall stand on a parity with each other share of Series B Stock or any other series of the same class of preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or distribution of assets or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the outstanding 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 outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof) equal to 10 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.


Section 8. Certain Adjustments. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the amounts set forth in Sections 2(a) and (b), 3(a), 6(a) and 7 hereof with respect to the multiple of cash and non-cash dividends, votes, the Series B Liquidation Preference and an aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or other property referred to in Section 7 hereof, 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.

Section 10. Redemption. The shares of Series B Stock may be purchased by the Corporation at such times and on such terms as may be agreed to between the Corporation and the redeeming stockholder, subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law or the Restated Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended.

(General Laws, Chapter 156B, Section 26)

We, Albert Rand, President, and David Proctor, Assistant Clerk, of DYNAMICS RESEARCH CORPORATION, located at 60 Frontage Road, Andover, MA 01810-5498, do hereby certify that at a meeting of the directors of the corporation held on February 17, 1998, the following vote establishing and designating a class or series of stock and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof was duly adopted:

Please see the attached Exhibit A


DYNAMICS RESEARCH CORPORATION

Certificate of Vote of Directors Establishing A Class or Series of Stock

EXHIBIT A

VOTED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, a series of preferred stock of the Corporation be and it hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and’ relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series. And the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows:

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series B Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Stock”) and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 3,000,000. The number of shares of Series B Stock may be increased or decreased by a vote duly adopted by the Board of Directors, but may not be decreased below the number of shares of Series B Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon conversion of any outstanding securities convertible into Series B Stock.

Section 2. Dividends and Distribution.

(a)    Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of preferred stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series B Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series B Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof, 10 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 10 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series B Stock.

 

2a


(b)    The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series B Stock as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of or a subdivision with respect to Common Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series B Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(c)    Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series B Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series B 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 B 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 B 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 B Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series B Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(a)    Subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof, each share of Series B Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(b)    Except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Series B 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 or required by applicable law, holders of Series B 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.

 

2b


Section 4. Certain Restrictions

(a)    Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B 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 B 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 B Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series B 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;

(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 B Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock (A) 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 B Stock or (B) in accordance with subparagraph (iv) of this Section 4(a); or

(iv)     redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series B Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B 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 the outstanding shares of such stock 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 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

 

2c


Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Stock redeemed, 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 vote or votes of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a)    Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior (upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Stock shall have received $10.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such distribution (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock (which term shall include, for the purposes only of this Section 6, any series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Series B Liquidation Preference by 10 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in Section 8 hereof to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock; such number in this clause (ii), as the same may be adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment Number”. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series B Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of shares of Series B Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of any remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Series B Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(b)    In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series B Stock, then any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series B Stock and the holders of such parity stock in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences,

 

2d


(c)    None of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other entity, the sale of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation or the distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation of all or substantially all of the consideration for such sale, unless such consideration (apart from the assumption of liabilities) or the net proceeds thereof consists substantially entirely of cash, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 6.

(d)    Each share of Series B Stock shall stand on a parity with each other share of Series B Stock or any other series of the same class of preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or distribution of assets or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the outstanding 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 outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof) equal to 10 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.

Section 8. Certain Adjustments. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the amounts set forth in Sections 2(a) and (b), 3(a), 6(a) and 7 hereof with respect to the multiple of cash and non-cash dividends, votes, the Series B Liquidation Preference and an aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or other property referred to in Section 7 hereof, 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.

Section 9. Ranking. The Series B Stock shall rank pari passu) with (or if determined by the Board of Directors in any vote establishing any other series of preferred stock, either senior and prior in preference to, or junior and subordinate to, as the case may be) each other series of preferred stock with respect to dividends and/or preference upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 10. Redemption. The shares of Series B Stock may be purchased by the Corporation at such times and on such terms as may be agreed to between the Corporation and the redeeming stockholder, subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law or the Restated Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended.

 

2e


Section 11. Amendment. The Restated Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended, shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B 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 B Stock, voting together as a single class.

Section 12. Fractional Shares. Series B 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 to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series B Stock.

(a)    Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any Series of preferred stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series B Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series B Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series B Stock.

(b)    The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series B Stock as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of or a subdivision with respect to Common Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series B Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date


(c)    Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series B Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series B 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 B 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 B 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 B Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

Section 3.    Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series B Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(a)    Each share of Series B Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one-hundred votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(b)    Except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Series B 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 or required by applicable law, holders of Series B 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.

Section 4.    Certain Restrictions.

(a)    Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B 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 B Stock;

(ii)    declare or pay dividends on or snake 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 B Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series B 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;

(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 B Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stack (A) 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 B Stock or (B) in accordance with subparagraph (iv) of this Section 4(a); or


(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series B Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B 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 the outstanding shares of such stock 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 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

Section 5.    Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Stock redeemed, 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 vote or votes of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

Section 6.    Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a)    Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior (upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Stock shall have received $100.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such distribution (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock (which term shall include, for the purposes only of this Section 6, any Series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall have received an amount per share (the “Common Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series B Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in Section 8 hereof to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock; such number in this clause (ii), as the same may be adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment Number”. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series B Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of shares of Series B Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of any remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Series B Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(b)    In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other Series of preferred stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series B Stock, then any remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series B Stock and the holders of such parity stock in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.


(c)    None of the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other entity, the sale of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation or the distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation of all or substantially all of the consideration for such sale, unless such consideration (apart front the assumption of liabilities) or the net proceeds thereof consists substantially entirely of cash, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this Section 6.

(d)    Each share of Series B Stack shall stand on a parity with each share of Series B Stock or any other Series of the same class of preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or distribution of assets or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 7.    Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the outstanding 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 outstanding shares of Series B Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment set forth in Section 8 hereof) 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.

Section 8.    Certain Adjustments. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such case, the amounts set forth in Sections 2(a) and (b), 6(a) and 7 hereof with respect to the multiple of cash and non-cash dividends, the Series B Liquidation Preference and an aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or other property referred to in Section 7 hereof, 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.

Section 9.    Ranking. The Series B Stock shall rank pari passu with (or if determined by the Board of Directors in any vote establishing any other series of preferred stock, either senior and prior in preference to, or junior and subordinate to, as the ease may be) each other Series of preferred stock with respect to dividends and/or preference upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 10.    Redemption. The shares of Series B Stock may be purchased by the Corporation at such times and on such terms as may be agreed to between the Corporation and the redeeming stockholder, subject to any limitations which may be imposed by law or the Restated Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended.

Section 11.    Amendment. The Restated Articles of Organization of the Corporation, as amended, shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B 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 B Stock, voting together as a single class.

Section 12.    Fractional Shares. Series B 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 to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series B Stock.
