SCHEDULE I
 
RESOLVED, that a series of authorized preferred shares of the Corporation is hereby created, having the designation, par value, voting, participation and other rights and restriction set out below.
 
Section 1.  Designation and Amount.
 
The shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share, are designated as the “Series A—8% Cumulative Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred) and the number of shares of Series A Preferred is 1,000. Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 8.
 
Section 2.  Dividends.
 
2A.  General Obligation.    When and as declared by the Corporation’s board of directors and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series A Preferred as provided in this Section 2. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of the Series A Preferred (a “Share”) shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 8% per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share.
 
2B.  Dividend Reference Dates.    To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each September, December, March and June of each year, beginning on September 15, 1997 (the “Dividend Reference Dates”), all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the four-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Dividend Reference Date) ending upon each such Dividend Reference Date shall be accumulated and shall be added to and become part of the Liquidation Value of such Share until paid.
 
2C.  Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments.    Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series A Preferred, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the holders of such class based upon the number of Shares held by each such holder.

5


 
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any of the Corporations Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of all Shares held by such holder, and the holders of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid, then the entire assets to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Series A Preferred held by each such holder. Prior to the time of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred. The Corporation shall mail written notice of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series A Preferred. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other entity or entities, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3.
 
Section 4.  Priority of Preferred Stock.
 
So long as any Series A Preferred remains outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution upon any Junior Securities, if at the time of or immediately after any such redemption, purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution the Corporation has failed to pay the full amount of dividends accrued on the Series A Preferred or the Corporation has failed to make any redemption of the Series A Preferred required hereunder.
 
Section 5.  Redemptions.
 
5A.  Optional Redemptions.    The Corporation may at any time after July 1, 1999 redeem all or any portion of Series A Preferred then outstanding. On any such redemption, the Corporation shall pay a price per Share equal to the Redemption Value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
 
5B.  Redemption Payment.    For each Share which is to be redeemed, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay the amount due to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation’s principal office of the certificate representing such Share) in immediately available funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares ratably among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Redemption Value of such Shares (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. Prior to the time of any redemption of Series A Preferred, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Shares which are to be redeemed.

6


 
5C.  Notice of Redemption.    The Corporation shall mail written notice of each redemption of any Series A Preferred to each record holder of such class not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Upon mailing any notice of redemption which relates to a redemption at the Corporation’s option, the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem the total number of Shares specified in such notice at the time of redemption specified therein. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within three business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Shares.
 
5D.  Determination of the Number of Each Holder’s Shares to be Redeemed.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Shares of Series A Preferred to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the total number of Shares to be redeemed multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares then outstanding.
 
5E.  Dividends After Redemption.    No Share is entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Redemption Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder thereof. On such date all rights of the holder of such Share shall cease, and such Share shall cease to be outstanding.
 
5F.  Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares.    Any Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
 
5G.  No Other Redemptions or Acquisitions.    Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall redeem or otherwise acquire any Series A Preferred, except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a purchase offer made pro-rata to all holders of Series A Preferred on the basis of the number of Shares held by each such holder.
 
Section 6.  Voting Rights.
 
Except as otherwise provided herein and as otherwise required by law, the Series A Preferred shall have no voting rights; provided that each holder of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting.

RESOLVED, that a series of authorized preferred shares of the Corporation is hereby created, having the designation, par value, voting, participation and other rights and restriction set out below.

Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation

The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share.
 
2B.  Dividend Reference Dates.    To the extent not paid on the 15th day of each September, December, March and June of each year, beginning on September 15, 1997 (the “Dividend Reference Dates”), all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the four-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Dividend Reference Date) ending upon each such Dividend Reference Date shall be accumulated and shall be added to and become part of the Liquidation Value of such Share until paid.

Section 3.  Liquidation.
 
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any of the Corporations Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of all Shares held by such holder, and the holders of Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid, then the entire assets to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Series A Preferred held by each such holder.

Section 5.  Redemptions.
 
5A.  Optional Redemptions.    The Corporation may at any time after July 1, 1999 redeem all or any portion of Series A Preferred then outstanding.

5B.  Redemption Payment.    For each Share which is to be redeemed, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay the amount due to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation’s principal office of the certificate representing such Share) in immediately available funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares ratably among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Redemption Value of such Shares (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. Prior to the time of any redemption of Series A Preferred, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Shares which are to be redeemed.
 
5C.  Notice of Redemption.    The Corporation shall mail written notice of each redemption of any Series A Preferred to each record holder of such class not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made.

SCHEDULE II
 
EXHIBIT A
TO
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
S.C. JOHNSON COMMERCIAL MARKETS, INC.
 
CERTIFICATE OF
DESIGNATION OF SERIES B—8% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK
 
S.C. Johnson Commercial Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) certifies that pursuant to Article Fourth of its Amended Certificate of Incorporation as filed on June 11, 1998 and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, its Board of Directors has adopted the following resolution creating a series of its preferred shares.
 
RESOLVED, that a series of authorized preferred shares of the Corporation is hereby created, having the designation, par value, voting, participation and other rights and restriction set out below.
 
Section 1.  Designation and Amount.
 
The shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share, are designated as the “Series B—8% Cumulative Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred”) and the number of shares of Series B Preferred is 1,000. Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 8.
 
Section 2.  Dividends.
 
2A.  General Obligation.    When and as declared by the Corporation’s board of directors and to the extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Corporation shall pay preferential dividends to the holders of the Series B Preferred as provided in this Section 2. Except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on each share of the Series B Preferred (a “Share”) shall accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 8% per annum of the Liquidation Value thereof from and including the date of issuance of such Share to and including the date on which the Liquidation Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid. Such dividends shall accrue whether or not they have been declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation

20


 
legally available for the payment of dividends. The date on which the Corporation initially issues any Share shall be deemed to be its “date of issuance” regardless of the number of times transfer of such Share is made on the stock records maintained by or for the Corporation and regardless of the number of certificates which may be issued to evidence such Share.
 
2B.  Dividend Reference Dates.    To the extent not paid on the last day of each September, December, March and June of each year, beginning on September 30, 1998 (the “Dividend Reference Dates”), all dividends which have accrued on each Share outstanding during the four-month period (or other period in the case of the initial Dividend Reference Date) ending upon each such Dividend Reference Date shall be accumulated and shall be added to and become part of the Liquidation Value of such Share until paid.
 
2C.  Distribution of Partial Dividend Payments.    Except as otherwise provided herein if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the holders of such class based upon the number of Shares held by each such holder.
 
Section 3.  Liquidation.
 
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made upon any of the Corporations Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of all Shares held by such holder, and the holders of Series B Preferred shall not be entitled to any further payment. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation’s assets to be distributed among the holders of the Series B Preferred are insufficient to permit payment to such holders of the aggregate amount which they are entitled to be paid, then the entire assets to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among such holders based upon the aggregate Liquidation Value (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends) of the Series B Preferred held by each such holder. Prior to the time of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Series B Preferred. The Corporation shall mail written notice of such liquidation dissolution or winding up, not less than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series B Preferred. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with any other entity or entities, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 3.
 
Section 4.  Priority of Preferred Stock.
 
So long as any Series B Preferred remains outstanding, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Junior Securities, nor shall the Corporation directly or indirectly pay or declare any dividend or

21


 
make any distribution upon any Junior Securities, if at the time of or immediately after any such redemption, purchase, acquisition, dividend or distribution the Corporation has failed to pay the full amount of dividends accrued on the Series B Preferred or the Corporation has failed to make any redemption of the Series B Preferred required hereunder.
 
Section 5.  Redemptions.
 
5A.  Optional Redemptions.    The Corporation may at any time after July 1, 2019 redeem all or any portion of Series B Preferred then outstanding. On any such redemption, the Corporation shall pay a price per Share equal to the Redemption Value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.
 
5B.  Redemption Payment.    For each Share which is to be redeemed, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay the amount due to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation’s principal office of the certificate representing such Share) in immediately available funds. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares ratably among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Redemption Value of such Shares (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed. Prior to the time of any redemption of Series B Preferred, the Corporation shall declare for payment all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Shares which are to be redeemed.
 
5C.  Notice of Redemption.    The Corporation shall mail written notice of each redemption of any Series B Preferred to each record holder of such class not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Upon mailing any notice of redemption which relates to a redemption at the Corporation’s option, the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem the total number of Shares specified in such notice at the time of redemption specified therein. In case fewer than the total number of Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the number of unredeemed Shares shall be issued to the holder thereof without cost to such holder within three business days after surrender of the certificate representing the redeemed Shares.
 
5D.  Determination of the Number of Each Holder’s Shares to be Redeemed.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the number of Shares of Series B Preferred to be redeemed from each holder thereof in redemptions hereunder shall be the total number of Shares to be redeemed multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares then held by such holder and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares then outstanding.

22


 
5E.  Dividends After Redemption.    No Share is entitled to any dividends accruing after the date on which the Redemption Value of such Share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) is paid to the holder thereof. On such date all rights of the holder of such Share shall cease, and such Share shall cease to be outstanding.
 
5F.  Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares.    Any Shares which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
 
5G.  No Other Redemptions or Acquisitions.    Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall redeem or otherwise acquire any Series B Preferred, except as expressly authorized herein or pursuant to a purchase offer made pro-rata to all holders of Series B Preferred on the basis of the number of Shares held by each such holder.
 
Section 6.  Voting Rights.
 
Except as otherwise provided herein and as otherwise required by law, the Series B Preferred shall have no voting rights; provided that each holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. With respect to any issue required to be voted on and approved by holders of Series B Preferred, the holder of Series B Preferred will vote as a single class.
