     Section 2. Dividends and Distributions.
          (A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any other series of Preferred Stock of the corporation (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $0.50 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the corporation, and of any other junior 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 first 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 Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1000 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 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 Preferred Stock. In the event the corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the 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 amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
          (B) The corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided 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 $1 per share on the Series A Preferred 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 Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, 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 Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
     Section 3. Voting Rights. The holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
          (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the corporation. In the event the corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the 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 number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
          (B) Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Statement with Respect to Shares or other amendment of the Articles of Incorporation creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the corporation.

 


 

          (C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.
     Section 4. Certain Restrictions.
          (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred 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 Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the corporation shall not:
               (i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;
               (ii) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;
               (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the corporation may at any time redeem, purchase, or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation, or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or
               (iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.
          (B) The corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the corporation unless the corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

 


 

     Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of Incorporation, or in any other Articles of Amendment creating a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.50 per share, or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.
     Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution, or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holder of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have received out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders after payment or provision for payment of any securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, (A) $1000.00 plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared to the date of such payment or, (B) if greater than the amount specified in clause (1)(A) of this sentence, an amount equal to 1000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock, as the same may be adjusted as herein provided, or (2) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, unless simultaneously therewith distributions are made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up. In the event the corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the 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 aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the provision in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     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 each share of

 


 

Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision or adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash, and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the 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 amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
     Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

Dividends payable for each full Dividend Period will be computed by dividing the Dividend Rate by four and shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date (commencing February 15, 2008) for the Dividend Period ending immediately prior to such Dividend Payment Date, to the holders of record of Convertible Preferred Stock on the close of business on the Record Date applicable to such Dividend Payment Date; provided that the Company shall not declare any dividend payable on any Dividend Payment Date following the first calendar day in the month in which such Dividend Payment Date occurs.

          (c) Holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends.

          (a) All dividends (or any portion of any dividend) on the Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not for a current Dividend Period or any prior Dividend Period (including in connection with the payment of accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends to the extent required to be paid pursuant to Section 8, 9 or 10), may be paid, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion:
          (i) in cash;
          (ii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock; or
          (iii) through any combination of cash and Common Stock.
          (b) Common Stock issued in payment or partial payment of a dividend shall be valued for such purpose at 97% of the average of the Daily Closing Price per share of Common Stock on each of the five consecutive Trading Days during the applicable Dividend Reference Period.
          (c) Dividend payments on the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made in cash, except to the extent the Company elects to make all or any portion of such payment in Common Stock by giving notice to

 


 

Holders thereof of such election and the portion of such payment that shall be made in cash and the portion of such payment that shall be made in Common Stock no later than 10 Trading Days prior to the Dividend Payment Date for such dividend (or, in the case of any dividend paid pursuant to Section 8, 9 or 10 hereof, in compliance with the notification requirements set forth in such Sections).
          (d) In respect of any shares of Common Stock issued in payment or partial payment of a dividend to a Non-U.S. Holder, the Company may, in lieu of delivering all such shares of Common Stock to such Non-U.S. Holder, withhold and sell (or direct the Transfer Agent or any paying agent on behalf of the Company to withhold and sell) such number of shares of Common Stock as the Company deems necessary, to result in proceeds from such sale (after deduction of customary commissions, which shall be for the account of such Non-U.S. Holder) to pay all or any part of any U.S. withholding tax obligation that the Company has (as determined by it in its sole discretion) in respect of the payment or partial payment of such dividend of shares of Common Stock to such Non-U.S. Holder.
          (e) Subject to Section 13 hereof, no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to Holders in payment or partial payment of a dividend.
          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with any dividend payment exceed an amount equal to the total dividend payment divided by 9.00, subject to adjustment in the same manner (but on an inversely proportional basis pursuant to the methodology described in Section 14(c)(ii) hereof for adjustments to each Cash Acquisition Stock Price) as each Fixed Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14 hereof (the “Dividend Cap”). To the extent the Company delivers the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the Dividend Cap on the Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which the Company has notified the Holder that such dividends would be paid in shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(c) above, the Company shall be deemed to have paid in full such amount of accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends on such Convertible Preferred Stock. However, in the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may elect to pay any such deficiency resulting from the Dividend Cap in cash.
          (g) To the extent that the Company determines that a Shelf Registration Statement is required in connection with the issuance of, or for resales of, Common Stock issued as payment of a dividend, including dividends paid in connection with a conversion, the Company shall, to the extent such a Shelf Registration Statement is not currently filed and effective, use its reasonable best efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of such a Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of such time as all sales of Common Stock have been resold thereunder and such time as all such shares are freely tradeable without registration.

     (ii) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Junior Stock or pay or make any monies available for a sinking fund for such shares of Junior Stock, other than (A) upon conversion or exchange for other Junior Stock or (B) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of any Junior Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Junior Stock;
     (iii) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution of assets on any shares of Parity Stock, other than dividends or distributions in the form of Parity Stock or Junior Stock and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares in connection with any such dividend or distribution; or

 


 

     (iv) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Parity Stock, except upon conversion into or exchange for other Parity Stock or Junior Stock and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares in connection with any such conversion or exchange.
          (b) When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for all prior Dividend Periods, all dividends declared on the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock shall be paid either (i) pro rata so that the amount of dividends so declared on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio as cumulated dividends on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and such class or series of Parity Stock bear to each other or (ii) on another basis that is at least as favorable to each Holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to receive such dividends.
          Section 6. Voting Rights.
          (a) The Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise required by Pennsylvania law from time to time:

Upon the election of any such additional directors, the number of directors that comprise the Board of Directors shall be increased by such number of additional directors.
     (ii) Such voting rights may be exercised at a special meeting of the holders of the shares of the Voting Rights Class, called as hereinafter provided, or at any annual meeting of shareholders held for the purpose of electing directors, and thereafter at each such annual meeting until such time as all dividends in arrears on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full, at which time or times such voting rights and the term of the directors elected pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) shall terminate.
     (iii) At any time when voting rights pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) shall have vested and be continuing in Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, or if a vacancy shall exist in the office of any such additional director, the Board of Directors may call, and, upon written request of the Holders of record of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, addressed to the chairman of the Board of Directors, shall call a special meeting of the holders of shares of the Voting Rights Class (voting as a single class) for the purpose of electing the directors, that such holders are entitled to elect.

The affirmative vote of the holders of the Voting Rights Class constituting a majority of the Voting Rights Class present at such meeting, in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to elect any such director.
     (v) Any director elected pursuant to the voting rights created under this Section 6(a) shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders (unless such term has previously terminated pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii)) and any vacancy in respect of any such director shall be filled only by vote of the remaining director so elected by holders of the Voting Rights Class, or if there be no such remaining director, by the holders of shares of the Voting Rights Class at a special meeting called in accordance with

 


 

the procedures set forth in this Section 6(a), or, if no such special meeting is called, at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Upon any termination of such voting rights, the term of office of all directors elected pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall terminate.

          (b) Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of its business) nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 7.

     (i) pay the converting Holders in cash (A) an amount equal to any accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to such Cash Acquisition Conversion, whether or not declared and including the pro rata portion of the accrued dividend for the then current Dividend Period (other than previously declared dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock payable to Record Holders as of a prior date) and (B) the present value of all remaining dividend payments on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding through and including the Mandatory Conversion Date (excluding the pro rata portion of the accrued dividend for the then current Dividend Period) (the present value of the remaining future dividend payments shall be computed using a discount rate equal to 6.50%); provided that at such time the Company is then legally permitted to pay such dividends, or
     (ii) increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock by an amount equal to (A) the amount set forth in clause (i) above, divided by (B) the Cash Acquisition Stock Price; provided, that, (x) in no event shall the Company increase the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in excess of the amount equal to the amount set forth in clause (i) above

 


 

divided by $9.00, subject to adjustment in the same manner as each Fixed Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14 hereof (but on an inversely proportionate basis pursuant to the methodology described in Section 14(c)(ii) hereof for adjustments to each Cash Acquisition Stock Price) and (y) to the extent the Company delivers the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock required by this clause (ii), the Company will be deemed to have paid in full the amount required to be paid pursuant to this clause (c). However, in the Company’s sole discretion, it may elect to pay any such deficiency resulting from such cap in cash.
          (d) To exercise a Cash Acquisition Conversion right, a Holder shall deliver to the Transfer Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, no earlier than the effective date of the Cash Acquisition, and no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on or before the date by which the Cash Acquisition Conversion right must be exercised as specified in the notice, the certificate(s) (if such shares are held in certificated form) evidencing the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which the Cash Acquisition Conversion right is being exercised, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Company, or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto, or in blank, with a written notice to the Company stating the Holder’s intention to convert early in connection with the Cash Acquisition containing the information set forth in Section 9(b) and providing the Company with payment instructions.
          (e) If a Holder does not elect to exercise the Cash Acquisition Conversion right pursuant to this Section 10, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date or an Early Conversion Date, such cash, securities and other property as determined in accordance with Section 14(e) hereof.
          (f) Upon a Cash Acquisition Conversion, the Transfer Agent shall, in accordance with the instructions provided by the Holder thereof in the written notice provided to the Company as set forth above, deliver to the Holder such cash and securities issuable upon such Cash Acquisition Conversion, together with payment of cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 13. Such delivery shall take place upon, and only to the extent of, the consummation of such Cash Acquisition Conversion.
          (g) In the event that a Cash Acquisition Conversion is effected with respect to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by a Holder, upon such Cash Acquisition Conversion the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a certificate evidencing the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock as to which Cash Acquisition Conversion was not effected.
          Section 11. Conversion Procedures.
          (a) On the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Cash Acquisition Conversion Date or any Early Conversion Date (collectively, a “Conversion Date”), dividends on any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock converted to Common Stock shall cease to accrue and cumulate, and such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, in each case, subject to the right of Holders of such shares to receive shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible and any accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to which they are otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 8, 9 or 10 hereof, as applicable.
          (b) The person or persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon any such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date. No allowance or adjustment, except as set forth in Section 14, shall be made in respect of dividends payable to holders of Common Stock of record as of any date prior to such applicable Conversion Date. Prior to such applicable Conversion Date, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and Holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock) by virtue of holding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

 


 

          (c) Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance herewith, or otherwise reacquired by the Company, shall resume the status of authorized and unissued Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series and available for future issuance.
          (d) In the event that a Holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock should be registered or the address to which the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock should be sent, the Company shall be entitled to register such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder of such Convertible Preferred Stock as shown on the records of the Company and to send the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock to the address of such Holder shown on the records of the Company.
          Section 12. Reservation of Common Stock.
          (a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares held in the treasury of the Company, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding. For purposes of this Section 12(a), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder.
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock reacquired and held in the treasury of the Company (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock), so long as any such treasury shares are free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).
          (c) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders),
          (d) Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
          (e) The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company shall, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.
          Section 13. Fractional Shares.
          (a) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of any conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or as a result of any payment of dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock.

 


 

          (b) In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 8 hereof or a conversion at the option of the Holder pursuant to Section 9 or a cash acquisition conversion pursuant to Section 10 hereof or as a result of the election of the Company to pay any dividend in shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4A hereof, the Company shall at its option either (i) issue to such Holder a whole share of Common Stock or (ii) pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the average Daily Closing Price of the Common Stock for the applicable Dividend Reference Period.
          (c) If more than one share of the Convertible Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered. If the Company pays dividends in Common Stock on more than one share of the Convertible Preferred Stock held at any one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock payable in connection with such dividend shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock so held.
          Section 14. Anti-Dilution Adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Rates. (a) Each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
     (i) Stock Dividends and Distributions and Subdivisions, Splits and Combinations of the Common Stock. If the Company issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to all holders of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination of the Common Stock, each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
         
CR1
  =   CR0 × OS1 / OS0
     where:
         
CR0
  =   the Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
CR1
  =   the new Fixed Conversion Rate in effect taking such event into account
OS0
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event
OS1
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
     Any adjustment made pursuant to this subclause (i) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this subclause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each new Fixed Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (ii) Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights. If the Company issues to all holders of the Common Stock any rights, warrants, options or other securities entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, or if the Company issues to all holders of Common Stock securities convertible into Common Stock for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock or a conversion price per share of Common Stock less than the Daily Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
         
CR1
  =   CR0 × (OS0 + X) / (OS0 + Y)
     where:
         
CR0
  =   the Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
CR1
  =   the new Fixed Conversion Rate taking such event into account
OS0
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event

 


 

         
X
  =   the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities
Y
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and (B) the average of the closing prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days prior to the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities.
     For purposes of this subclause (ii), in determining whether any rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Stock at less than the Daily Closing Price of the Common Stock on the applicable date, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. If any right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security described in this subclause (ii) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Fixed Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant, option, other security or convertible security had not been so issued.
     Any adjustment made pursuant to this subclause (ii) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities.
     (iii) Debt or Asset Distribution.
     (A) If the Company distributes capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
     (x) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants, options, other securities or convertible securities referred to in subclause (i) or (ii) above,
     (y) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and
     (z) Spin-Offs described in subclause (iii)(B) below, then each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
         
CR1
  =   CR0 × SP0 / (SP0 - FMV)
     where:
         
CR0
  =   the Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
CR1
  =   the new Fixed Conversion Rate taking such event into account
SP0
  =   the Daily Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution
FMV
  =   the Fair Market Value of the capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
     An adjustment to each Fixed Conversion Rate made pursuant to this subclause (iii)(A) shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution for such distribution.
     If any such dividend or distribution described in this subclause (iii)(A) is declared but not paid or made, each new Fixed Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 


 

     (B) If the Company distributes to all holders of the Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), each Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution will be adjusted based on the following formula:
         
CR1
  =   CR0 × (FMV0 + MP0) / MP0
     where:
         
CR0
  =   the Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
CR1
  =   the new Fixed Conversion Rate taking such event into account
FMV0
  =   the average of the Daily Closing Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off

MP0
  =   the average of the Daily Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.
     An adjustment to each Fixed Conversion Rate made pursuant to this subclause (iii)(B) will occur on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days immediately following and including the date of the Spin-Off, references with respect to the Spin-Off to “10 Trading Days” shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the conversion date in determining the applicable Fixed Conversion Rate.
     If any such dividend or distribution described in this subclause (iii)(B) is declared but not paid or made, each new Fixed Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (iv) Cash Distributions. If the Company pays or makes any dividend or distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of Common Stock, each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
         
CR1
  =   CR0 × SP0 / (SP0 - C)
     where:
         
CR0
  =   the Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
CR1
  =   the new Fixed Conversion Rate taking such event into account
SP0
  =   the average of the Daily Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution
C
  =   the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock.
     An adjustment to each Fixed Conversion Rate made pursuant to this subclause (iv) shall become effective on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this subclause (iv) is declared but not so paid or made, each new Fixed Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (v) Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Daily Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or

 


 

exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
         
CR1
  =   CR0 × (AC + (SP1 × OS1)) / (SP1 × OS0)
     where:
         
CR0
  =   the Fixed Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment relating to such event
CR1
  =   the new Fixed Conversion Rate taking such event into account
AC
  =   the aggregate Fair Market Value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer
OS0
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires

OS1
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer)
SP1
  =   the average of the Daily Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding such expiration date, references to “10 consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed replaced with such number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and the conversion date.
     If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in a Fixed Conversion Rate, no adjustment to such Fixed Conversion Rate will be made. Any adjustment to a Fixed Conversion Rate made pursuant to this subclause (v) shall become effective on the date immediately following the determination of the average of the Daily Closing Prices of the Common Stock for purposes of SP1 above. If the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, each new Fixed Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Fixed Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
     (vi) Rights Plans. If the Company has in effect a rights plan while any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock will receive, upon a conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, in addition to Common Stock, rights under the Company’s shareholder rights agreement unless, prior to such conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the rights plan have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that holders of Convertible Preferred Stock would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the Common Stock, if any, that the Company is required to deliver upon conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to subclause (iii)(A) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.
          (b) Adjustment for Tax Reasons. The Company may make such increases in each Fixed Conversion Rate, in addition to any other increases required by this Section 14, if the Board of Directors deems it advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of the Company’s shares (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reasons; provided that the same proportionate adjustment must be made to each Fixed Conversion Rate.
          (c) Calculation of Adjustments; Adjustments to Threshold Appreciation Price, Initial Price and Cash Acquisition Stock Price.

 


 

     (i) No adjustment in any Fixed Conversion Rate will be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Fixed Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Fixed Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/10,000th of a share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made shall have effect with respect to any conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8, 9 or 10 hereof. If an adjustment is made to the Fixed Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 14(a)(i), 14(a)(ii), 14(a)(iii), l4(a)(iv), 14(a)(v) or 14(b), an inversely proportional adjustment shall also be made to the Threshold Appreciation Price and the Initial Price solely for purposes of determining which of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 8(b) shall apply on the Conversion Date. Such adjustment shall be made by dividing each of the Threshold Appreciation Price and the Initial Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be either Fixed Conversion Rate immediately after such adjustment pursuant to Section 14(a)(i), 14(a)(ii), 14(a)(iii), l4(a)(iv), 14(a)(v) or 14(b) and the denominator of which shall be such Fixed Conversion Rate immediately before such adjustment; provided that if such adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Rates is required to be made pursuant to the occurrence of any of the events contemplated by Section 14(a)(i), l4(a)(ii), 14(a)(iii), 14(a)(iv), 14(a)(v) or 14(b) during the period taken into consideration for determining the Applicable Market Value, appropriate and customary adjustments shall be made to the Fixed Conversion Rates.
     (ii) If an adjustment is made to the Minimum Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14(a)(i), 14(a)(ii), 14(a)(iii), 14(a)(iv), 14(a)(v) or 14(b), a proportional adjustment shall be made to each Cash Acquisition Stock Price column heading set forth in the table included in the definition of “Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate.” Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying each Cash Acquisition Stock Price included in such table by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Minimum Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Minimum Conversion Rate immediately after such adjustment.
     (iii) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made if Holders may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to such adjustment, so long as the distributed assets or securities the Holders would receive upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock—if such assets or securities are convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable—are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 45 days following conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The applicable Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
     (A) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in the Common Stock under any plan;
     (B) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company;
     (C) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date;
     (D) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock;
     (E) for cumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; or
     (F) as a result of a tender offer solely to holders of fewer than 100 shares of the Common Stock.
     (iv) The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity and its action in so doing, as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors, or a duly authorized committee thereof, shall be final and conclusive unless clearly inconsistent with the intent hereof.

 


 

          (d) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever a Fixed Conversion Rate or the Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable, is to be adjusted, the Company shall: (i) compute such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rate or the Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable, and prepare and transmit to the Transfer Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rate or the Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; (ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to a Fixed Conversion Rate or the Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event and (iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of a revised Fixed Conversion Rate or Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable, provide, or cause to be provided, to the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to such Fixed Conversion Rate or the Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable, was determined and setting forth such revised Fixed Conversion Rate or Cash Acquisition Conversion Rate, as applicable.
          (e) Reorganization Events. In the event of:
     (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation are not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person),
     (B) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, or
     (C) any reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including securities other than the Common Stock (any such event specified in paragraphs (A) through (C), a “Reorganization Event”), each share of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, after such Reorganization Event, be convertible into the kind of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event (without any interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distribution thereon which have a record date that is prior to the Conversion Date) per share of Common Stock (the “Exchange Property”) by a holder of Common Stock that exercised his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event and in respect of which such rights of election shall have been exercised (“Electing Share”), then, for the purpose of this Section 14(e) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event by each Electing Share shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kinds and amounts so receivable per share by the Electing Shares). The amount of Exchange Property receivable upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 8 or 9 hereof shall be determined based upon the Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date. The applicable Conversion Rate for purposes of such Sections 8 and 9 shall be (x) the Minimum Conversion Rate, in the case of an Early Conversion Date and (y) determined based upon the definition of Conversion Rate set forth in Section 8 and the Applicable Market Value at such time, in the case of the Mandatory Conversion Date.
     For purposes of this Section 14(e), “Applicable Market Value” shall be deemed to refer to the Applicable Market Value of the Exchange Property and such value shall be determined (A) with respect to any publicly traded securities that compose all or part of the Exchange Property, based on the Daily Closing Price of such securities, (B) in the case of any cash that composes all or part of the Exchange Property, based on the amount of such cash and (C) in the case of any other property that composes all or part of the Exchange Property, based on the value of such property, as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose.

 


 

     The above provisions of this Section 14(e) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 14 shall apply to any shares of capital stock of the Company (or any successor) received by the holders of Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.
     The Company (or any successor) shall, within 20 days of the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitute the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 14(e).
          (f) For purposes of this Section 14, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
          Section 15. Replacement Stock Certificates.
          (a) If physical certificates are issued, and any of the Convertible Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall, at the expense of the Holder, issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Convertible Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Convertible Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Convertible Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent.
          (b) The Company is not required to issue any certificates representing the Convertible Preferred Stock on or after the Mandatory Conversion Date. In lieu of the delivery of a replacement certificate following the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Transfer Agent, upon delivery of the evidence and indemnity described above, shall deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock formerly evidenced by the certificate.
          Section 16. Transfer Agent, Registrar, Redemption, Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent. The duly appointed Transfer Agent, Registrar, Redemption, Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be American Stock Transfer and Trust Company. The Company may, in its sole discretion, remove the Transfer Agent in accordance with the agreement between the Company and the Transfer Agent; provided that the Company shall appoint a successor transfer agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Company shall send notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
          Section 17. Form.
          (a) The Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent global shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in definitive, fully registered form with the global legend (the “Global Shares Legend”) as set forth on the form of Convertible Preferred Stock certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Global Preferred Share”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part hereof. The Global Preferred Shares may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). The Global Preferred Shares shall be deposited on behalf of the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby with the Registrar, at its New York office as custodian for DTC or a Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and countersigned and registered by the Registrar as hereinafter provided. The aggregate number of shares represented by each Global Preferred Share may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided. This Section 17(a) shall apply only to a Global Preferred Share deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The Company shall execute and the Registrar shall, in accordance with this Section 17, countersign and deliver initially one or

 


 

more Global Preferred Shares that (i) shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of the Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Registrar to Cede & Co. or pursuant to instructions received from Cede & Co. or held by the Registrar as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to an agreement between the Depositary and the Registrar. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Statement with Respect to Shares, with respect to any Global Preferred Share held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Registrar as the custodian of the Depositary, or under such Global Preferred Share, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Preferred Share for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Registrar or any agent of the Company or the Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Preferred Share. The Holder of the Convertible Preferred Shares may grant proxies or otherwise authorize any Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Shares, this Statement with Respect to Shares or the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Owners of beneficial interests in Global Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, unless (x) the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Preferred Shares and the Company does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within 90 days or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and the Company does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within 90 days. In any such case, the Global Preferred Shares shall be exchanged in whole for definitive shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in registered form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate Liquidation Preference. Definitive shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be registered in the name or names of the Person or Person specified by the Depositary in a written instrument to the Registrar.
          (b) An Officer shall sign the Global Preferred Shares for the Company, in accordance with the Company’s bylaws and applicable law, by manual or facsimile signature.
     (i) If an Officer whose signature is on a Global Preferred Share no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Global Preferred Share, the Global Preferred Share shall be valid nevertheless.
     (ii) A Global Preferred Share shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually countersigns such Global Preferred Share. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Preferred Share has been authenticated under this Statement with Respect to Shares. Each Global Preferred Share shall be dated the date of its authentication.
          Section 18. Miscellaneous.
          (a) All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms of this Statement with Respect to Shares) with postage prepaid, addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at 1500 Corporate Drive, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317, Attention: Chief Financial Officer or to the Transfer Agent at its Corporate Trust Office, or other agent of the Company designated as permitted by this Statement with Respect to Shares, or (ii) if to any Holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock or holder of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to such holder at the address of such holder as listed in the stock record books of the Company (which may include the records of any transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be), or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.
          (b) The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or

 


 

certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any person other than a payment to the Holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
          (c) The Liquidation Preference and the annual dividend rate set forth herein each shall be subject to equitable adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock split, combination, reclassification or other similar event involving the Convertible Preferred Stock. Such adjustments shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and submitted by the Board of Directors to the Transfer Agent.
          (d) The Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.
          (e) Any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company 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, par value $0.50 per share, and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.50 per share, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of Incorporation, or in any other Articles of Amendment creating a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.50 per share, or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.
