If the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the Start Date, the Series A Preferred Shares will not be converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary of the Start Date.

9


 

                         (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Shares has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the Start Date, each outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date.

                         (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date equal or exceed $50,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will follow the following procedures:

          Deposits: For the purpose of making the Deposit Goal calculations, “deposits” means the book balances of all accounts which are insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts and certificates of deposit), including the balances in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided, however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 or more shall be included in the total amount of deposits only to the extent such certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total deposits.

          Credit for Deposits: The specific banking office at which a deposit account is opened receives the credit for the account; provided, however, that if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept deposits or has not yet opened for business, a deposit account may be established at another banking office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated as such. The Bank’s accounting system tracks and accounts for all depository accounts on a daily basis.

10


 

          Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

          All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive for all purposes.

          (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.27.4(b) above, the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares 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 to any holder certificates evidencing the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the Series A Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.27.4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of Section 5.27.4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 5.27.4(b) hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.27.4(b), the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares on the applicable Conversion Date.

          (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof

11


 

shall be increased to the next higher number of whole shares.

          (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on the Conversion Date), such Series A Preferred Shares shall be deemed not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as provided in Section 5.27.4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the respective certificates evidencing such Series A Preferred Shares. Upon presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as provided in this Section 5.27.4.

          (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series A Preferred Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares pursuant to this Section 5.27.4 shall, after such conversion become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

          (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at all times so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares.

          (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

                    5.27.5 Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares shall be converted

12


 

pursuant to Section 5.27.4 (the “Conversion Ratios”) and the securities or other property deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

          (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series A Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series A Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

          (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series A Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series A Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

          (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the holders of its Common Shares, each Series A Preferred Share shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be convertible into the number of shares or

13


 

other securities or property to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares.

          (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5.27.5 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 5.27.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

          (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 5.27.5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series A Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate

14


 

instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

          (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5.27.5, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation’s records.

          (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or property upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities in the name other than that of the holder of Series A Preferred Shares in respect of which such shares are being issued.

                     5.27.6 Voting. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have no right or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one ote for each Series A Preferred Share held.

               5.27.7 Liquidation Rights.

          (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All outstanding shares of any other series of

15


 

preferred shares shall rank at parity with the Series A Preferred Shares. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a “dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation” within the meaning of this Section 5.27.7(a).

          (b) After the payment to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series A Preferred Shares, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

          (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.27.7(a), no distribution shall be made on account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, if any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the Series A Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

                     5.27.8 Reports to Holders of Series A Preferred Shares. For so long as there shall remain outstanding any Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Shares (i) all reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

                    5.27.9 Certain Covenants. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any provisions of this Resolution Establishing Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series A Preferred Shares.

     (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series B Preferred Share shall be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation or the holders of Series B Preferred Shares, into fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified below:

     (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from

19


 

the Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the Start Date, and (B) each Series B Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the Start Date, the Series B Preferred Shares will not be converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary of the Start Date.

     (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares into Common Shares has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the Start Date, each outstanding Series B Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date.

     (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date equal or exceed $25,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will follow the following procedures:

          Deposits: For the purpose of making the Deposit Goal calculations, “deposits” means the book balances of all accounts which are insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts and certificates of deposit), including the balances in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided, however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 or more shall be included in the total amount of deposits only to the extent such certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total deposits.

20


 

          Credit for Deposits: The specific banking office at which a deposit account is opened receives the credit for the account; provided, however, that if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept deposits or has not yet opened for business, a deposit account may be established at another banking office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated as such. The Bank’s accounting system tracks and accounts for all depository accounts on a daily basis.

          Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

     All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive for all purposes.

     (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.28.4(b) above, the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares 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 to any holder certificates evidencing the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the Series B Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.28.4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of Section 5.28.4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares to which such holder is entitled

21


 

as provided in Section 5.28.4(b) hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.28.4(b), the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares on the applicable Conversion Date.

     (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of Series B Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Shares, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next higher number of whole shares.

     (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares on the Conversion Date), such Series B Preferred Shares shall be deemed not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as provided in Section 5.28.4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the respective certificates evidencing such Series B Preferred Shares. Upon presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any certificate evidencing Series B Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as provided in this Section 5.28.4.

     (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series B Preferred Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares pursuant to this Section 5.28.4 shall, after such conversion become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

     (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at all times so long as any Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares.

22


 

     (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

     5.28.5 Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which the Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 5.28.4 (the “Conversion Ratios”) and the securities or other property deliverable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

     (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series B Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series B Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

     (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series B Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series B Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

     (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in

23


 

case of the consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the holders of its Common Shares, each Series B Preferred Share shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series B Preferred Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares.

     (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5.28.5 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 5.28.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

     (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 5.28.5 shall require that an adjustment shall become

24


 

effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series B Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

     (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5.28.5, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of Series B Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation’s records.

     (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or property upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities in the name other than that of the holder of Series B Preferred Shares in respect of which such shares are being issued.

     5.28.6 Voting. The holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall have no right or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series B Preferred Share held.

25


 

     5.28.7 Liquidation Rights.

     (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All outstanding shares of any other series of preferred shares shall rank at parity with the Series B Preferred Shares. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a “dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation” within the meaning of this Section 5.28.7(a).

     (b) After the payment to the holders of Series B Preferred Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series B Preferred Shares, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.28.7(a), no distribution shall be made on account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Shares, if any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the Series B Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

     5.28.8 Reports to Holders of Series B Preferred Shares. For so long as there shall remain outstanding any Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Shares (i) all reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth the average monthly deposits on behalf of the

26


 

Banking Office.

     5.28.9 Certain Covenants. So long as any Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any provisions of this Resolution Establishing Series B Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series B Preferred Shares.

     5.28.10 Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 5.28.4 or Section 5.28.5 herein, then the Corporation’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Ratios for the Series B Preferred Shares to protect the rights of the holders thereof.

     5.28.11 Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those specifically set forth herein.

If the Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the Start Date, and (B) each Series C Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares. If the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the Start Date, the Series C Preferred Shares will not be converted into Common Shares until after the third anniversary of the Start Date.

     (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares into Common Shares has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the Start Date, each outstanding Series C Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date.

     (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date equal or exceed $50,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will follow the following procedures:

30


 

     Deposits: For the purpose of making the Deposit Goal calculations, “deposits” means the book balances of all accounts which are insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts and certificates of deposit), including the balances in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided, however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 or more shall be included in the total amount of deposits only to the extent such certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total deposits.

     Credit for Deposits: The specific banking office at which a deposit account is opened receives the credit for the account; provided, however, that if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept deposits or has not yet opened for business, a deposit account may be established at another banking office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated as such. The Bank’s accounting system tracks and accounts for all depository accounts on a daily basis.

     Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

     All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive for all purposes.

     (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.29.4(b) above, the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares 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 to any holder

31


 

certificates evidencing the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the Series C Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.29.4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of Section 5.29.4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series C Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 5.29.4(b) hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.29.4(b), the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares on the applicable Conversion Date.

     (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next higher number of whole shares.

     (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares on the Conversion Date), such Series C Preferred Shares shall be deemed not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as Shareholders of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as provided in Section 5.29.4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the respective certificates evidencing such Series C Preferred Shares. Upon presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any certificate evidencing Series C Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as provided in this Section 5.29.4.

     (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series C Preferred Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares pursuant to this Section 5.29.4 shall, after such conversion become authorized but unissued Preferred Shares of the Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

     (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at all times so long as any Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all outstanding Series C Preferred Shares.

     (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

     5.29.5 Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which the Series C Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 5.29.4 (the “Conversion Ratios”) and the securities or other property deliverable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

     (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common Shares, then immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series C Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series C Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

     (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the

33


 

Series C Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series C Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series C Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

     (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the holders of its Common Shares, each Series C Preferred Share shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series C Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series C Preferred Shares would otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares.

     (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5.29.5 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be.

34


 

Any provision of this Section 5.29.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

     (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 5.29.5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series C Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

     (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5.29.5, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of Series C Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation’s records.

     (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or property upon conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be

35


 

required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities in the name other than that of the holder of Series C Preferred Shares in respect of which such shares are being issued.

     5.29.6 Voting. The holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall have no right or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which the holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series C Preferred Share held.

     5.29.7 Liquidation Rights.

     (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Shares upon liquidation. All outstanding shares of any other series of preferred shares shall rank at parity with the Series C Preferred Shares. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a “dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation” within the meaning of this Section 5.29.7(a).

     (b) After the payment to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series C Preferred Shares, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.29.7(a), no distribution shall be made on account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares,

36


 

if any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the Series C Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

     5.29.8 Reports to Holders of Series C Preferred Shares. For so long as there shall remain outstanding any Series C Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series C Preferred Shares (i) all reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

     5.29.9 Certain Covenants. So long as any Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any provisions of this resolution establishing Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series C Preferred Shares.

     5.29.10 Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 5.29.4 or Section 5.29.5 herein, then the Corporation’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Ratios for the Series C Preferred Shares to protect the rights of the holders thereof.

     5.29.11 Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those specifically set forth herein.

     (b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series D Preferred Share shall be automatically converted, without any further act of the Corporation or the holders of Series D Preferred Shares, into fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares in the manner and at the times specified below:

     (i) Second Anniversary after Start Date. If the Deposit Goal is met prior to twenty-four (24) months from the Start Date, (A) the date of the automatic conversion into Common Shares shall be twenty-seven (27) months after the Start Date, and (B) each Series D Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into 1.25 Common Shares.

     (ii) Third Anniversary after Start Date. If the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares into Common Shares has not previously taken place within thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, then, thirty-nine (39) months after the Start Date, each outstanding Series D Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into (A) 1.10 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start Date, and (B) 1.02 Common Shares if the Deposit Goal has not been met prior to the end of thirty-six (36) months after the Start

40


 

Date.

     (iii) Determination of Whether Deposit Goal Has Been Met. The Deposit Goal shall have been met prior to a specified date if the average deposits at the Bank on behalf of the Banking Office for any calendar quarter prior to such date equal or exceed $25,000,000. For the purposes of determining whether the Deposit Goal has been met, the Corporation will follow the following procedures:

     Deposits: For the purpose of making the Deposit Goal calculations, “deposits” means the book balances of all accounts which are insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (such as demand, savings, time, money market and NOW accounts and certificates of deposit), including the balances in such accounts in excess of $100,000; provided, however, that certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 or more shall be included in the total amount of deposits only to the extent such certificates of deposit do not exceed 10% of total deposits.

     Credit for Deposits: The specific banking office at which a deposit account is opened receives the credit for the account; provided, however, that if the Banking Office is not authorized to accept deposits or has not yet opened for business, a deposit account may be established at another banking office on behalf of the Banking Office if designated as such. The Bank’s accounting system tracks and accounts for all depository accounts on a daily basis.

     Calendar Quarter Average: After a calendar quarter has expired, the Bank will calculate the calendar quarter average of deposits for accounts designated as gathered on behalf of the Banking Office by adding the sum of the daily general ledger balance for such deposits and then dividing this sum by the number of days in the calendar quarter.

41


 

     All determinations regarding whether the Deposit Goal has been met as of any date shall be made by the Corporation. Such determinations in this regard shall be final and conclusive for all purposes.

     (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Upon the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.30.4(b) above, the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares 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 to any holder certificates evidencing the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the Series D Preferred Shares are delivered either to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date of the occurrence of the dates specified in Section 5.30.4(b) above, as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” Subject to the provisions of Section 5.30.4(b) above, as promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the Series D Preferred Shares to the Corporation or any transfer agent designated by the Corporation), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares to which such holder is entitled as provided in Section 5.30.4(b) hereof. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.30.4(b), the person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Shares on the applicable Conversion Date.

     (d) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of Series D Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Series D Preferred Shares, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be increased to the next higher number of whole shares.

     (e) Rights After Conversion Date. From and after the Conversion Date (unless the Corporation defaults in issuing Common Shares in conversion for the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares on the Conversion Date), such Series D Preferred Shares shall be deemed not to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares as Shareholders of the Corporation by

42


 

reason of the ownership of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive Common Shares as provided in Section 5.30.4(b) herein on presentation and surrender of the respective certificates evidencing such Series D Preferred Shares. Upon presentation and surrender, on or after the Conversion Date, of any certificate evidencing Series D Preferred Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require), such shares shall be converted by the Corporation for Common Shares as provided in this Section 5.30.4.

     (f) Authorized, But Unissued Shares. Any Series D Preferred Shares that shall at any time have been converted into Common Shares pursuant to this Section 5.30.4 shall, after such conversion, become authorized but unissued (and undesignated) preferred shares of the Corporation, and the certificates evidencing such shares shall be canceled.

     (g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at all times so long as any Series D Preferred Shares remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury shares or its authorized but unissued Common Shares, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares, sufficient Common Shares to provide for the conversion of all outstanding Series D Preferred Shares.

     (h) Fully Paid and Nonassessable Shares. All Common Shares or other securities which may be issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and the Corporation shall take no action which would cause a contrary result.

     5.30.5 Conversion Ratio Adjustments. The number of Common Shares into which the Series D Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 5.30.4 (the “Conversion Ratios”) and the securities or other property deliverable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

     (a) Share Subdivisions or Split-Ups. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series D Preferred Shares is increased by a subdivision or split-up of Common Shares, then immediately after the record date

43


 

fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the Conversion Ratios shall be appropriately increased so that the holder of any Series D Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series D Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

     (b) Combinations of Shares. If the number of Common Shares outstanding at any time after the date of issuance of the Series D Preferred Shares is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Shares, then, immediately after the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Ratios applicable thereto shall be appropriately decreased so that the holder of any Series D Preferred Shares thereafter converted shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares of the Corporation which the holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Series D Preferred Shares been converted immediately prior thereto.

     (c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Sale of All Assets, etc. In case of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, or of any reclassification of the Common Shares, or in case of the consolidation of the Corporation with or the merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or of the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to any other Person, or in the case of any distribution of cash or other assets or of notes or other indebtedness of the Corporation or any other securities of the Corporation (except Common Shares) to the holders of its Common Shares, each Series D Preferred Share shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution, be convertible into the number of shares or other securities or property to which the Common Shares issuable (at the time of such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution) upon conversion of such Series D Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other transfer or such distribution in place of (or in addition to, in the case of any such event after which Common Shares remain outstanding) the Common Shares into which such Series D Preferred Shares would

44


 

otherwise have been convertible; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares.

     (d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5.30.5 shall be made to the nearest one hundredth (1/100th) of a Common Share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 5.30.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Conversion Ratios shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one hundredth of a Common Share, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one hundredth of a Common Share or more.

     (e) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Shares upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 5.30.5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the holder of any Series D Preferred Shares converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares or other property issuable or deliverable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation upon request shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares or other property, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

     (f) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratios shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 5.30.5, the Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Series D Preferred Shares and at the principal office of the Corporation a statement showing in detail the facts

45


 

requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Ratios that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each holder of Series D Preferred Shares at its address appearing on the Corporation’s records.

     (g) Cost. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of Common Shares of the Corporation or other securities or property upon conversion of any Series D Preferred Shares; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares or securities in the name other than that of the holder of Series D Preferred Shares in respect of which such shares are being issued.

     5.30.6 Voting. The holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall have no right or power to vote on any matter except as required by law. In any matter on which the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall, as a matter of law, be entitled to vote, the holders shall be entitled to one vote for each Series D Preferred Share held.

     5.30.7 Liquidation Rights.

     (a) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to equity holders, an amount per share in cash equal to the Purchase Price before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Shares or on any other class of capital shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series D Preferred Shares upon liquidation. The Series D Preferred Shares shall rank at parity with all outstanding shares of any other series of preferred shares. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation, or a sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety, shall not be regarded as a “dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation” within the meaning of this Section 5.30.7(a).

     (b) After the payment to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares of the full preferential amounts fixed hereby for Series D

46


 

Preferred Shares, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

     (c) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation are insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.30.7(a), no distribution shall be made on account of any shares of a class or series of capital shares of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Shares, if any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the Series D Preferred Shares, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

     5.30.8 Reports to Holders of Series D Preferred Shares. For so long as there shall remain outstanding any Series D Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series D Preferred Shares (i) all reports or other correspondence sent by the Corporation to holders of record of the Common Shares of the Corporation, and (ii) a quarterly report setting forth the average monthly deposits on behalf of the Banking Office.

     5.30.9 Certain Covenants. So long as any Series D Preferred Shares are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal any provisions of this resolution establishing Series D Convertible Preferred Shares, or otherwise amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation so as to affect adversely the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series D Preferred Shares.

     5.30.10 Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated but not expressly provided for by the provisions of Section 5.30.4 or Section 5.30.5 herein, then the Corporation’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Ratios for the Series D Preferred Shares to protect the rights of the holders thereof.

47


 

     5.30.11 Exclusion of Other Rights. Unless otherwise required by law, the Series D Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights other than those specifically set forth herein.

     5.31 By resolution adopted on March 1, 2001, the Board of Directors of Irwin Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”), has established and designated a series of Preferred shares to be called the Junior Participating Series A Preferred Stock, to consist of 400,000 shares having the following terms:

     5.31.1 Designation and Amount. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation which shall be designated as “Junior Participating Series A Preferred Stock” without par value (hereinafter called “Junior Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 400,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors and by the filing of an amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation pursuant to the provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law stating that such increase or reduction has been so authorized; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than that of the shares then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.

     5.31.2 Dividends and Distributions.

     (a) The holders of shares of Junior 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, quarterly dividends payable in cash to holders of record on the first business 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 Junior Preferred 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 hereinafter set forth, one hundred times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and one hundred 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 (hereinafter defined) or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, no par value 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

48


 

Junior Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying each such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     (b) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (a) above at the time it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock).

     (c) No dividend or distribution (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock) shall be paid or payable to the holders of shares of Common Stock unless, at the same time as such payment is made with respect to the Common Stock or prior thereto, all accrued but unpaid dividends to the date of such dividend or distribution shall have been paid to the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock.

     (d) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Junior Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Junior Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

                         (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 Junior Preferred Stock;

                         (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Junior Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Junior Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

                         (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 Junior Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Junior Preferred Stock; or

                         (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Junior Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

50


 

          (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, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

          (a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, 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 Junior Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of Junior Participating Series A Preferred Stock shall have received for each whole share the greater of (i) $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, or (ii) one hundred times the aggregate per share amount received by holders of Common Stock (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”).

          (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 Junior Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.

     5.31.6 Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, share exchange, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or converted in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to one hundred 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 converted or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or conversion of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     5.31.7 Redemption. The shares of a Junior Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation. The preceding sentence shall not limit the ability of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise deal in such shares of stock to the extent permitted by law.

     5.31.8 Fractional Shares.
