the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, restriction, claim, or
encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the
Company.

proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the best of the Company's knowledge,

and subsisting agreement without any default of the Company thereunder and, to
the best of the Company's knowledge, without any default thereunder of any other
party thereto. No event has occurred and is continuing which, with due notice or

comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Company will forthwith take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.
SECTION 7.
AMENDMENT TO STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT
7.1 Acknowledgement. All of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
the preemptive rights accorded to the Stockholders (as defined in the
Stockholders Agreement) pursuant to Section 4 of the Stockholders Agreement are
not applicable to the sale of Series A Shares or the issuance of Class A Common
Stock of the Company upon conversion thereof, inasmuch as the minimum conversion
price under the Series A Shares is greater than $66.227 per share.
[Nevertheless, it is hereby acknowledged that Series A Shares have been
initially offered to the Stockholders in proportion to their respective
percentage equity interest in the Company.]
7.2 Amendments. The Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Each of the Series A Shares purchased or to be purchased
pursuant hereto is hereby made subject to all of the
-11-
options and restrictions set forth in Section 1 of the Stockholders Agreement.
[(b) In the event any option referred to in Section 1 of the
Stockholders Agreement shall become exercisable with respect to any Series A
Shares, the price payable by the Company or the purchasing Stockholders, as the
case may be, for such Series A Shares shall be $100.00 plus accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon and the amount of the cumulative liquidation preference to the
date of payment; and such price is expressly agreed to be applicable even in the
case of a proposed third-party sale as described in Section 1(a)(ii) of the
Stockholders Agreement. Because there is no need to determine the option price
of a Series A Share by appraisal, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the
periods for exercise of the options provided in Section 1 of the Stockholders
Agreement in the case of Series A Shares shall be 30 days for the Company's
initial repurchase option, followed by an additional 30 days for the options of
the other Stockholders, if applicable. All such periods shall begin on their
respective dates as provided in the Stockholders Agreement, and, in the case of
a Purchaser's death, shall be subject to tolling as provided in the Stockholders
Agreement pending the appointment of the deceased Purchaser's personal
representative.]
(c) Once any option described in Section 1 of the Stockholders
Agreement becomes applicable to any Series A Shares, the holder's right to
convert such Series A Shares shall be suspended until either the option has been
exercised and the Series A Shares have been purchased thereunder, or all option
periods described in the Stockholders Agreement have expired without exercise of
any applicable option. Upon the exercise of such an option and the purchase of
such Series A Shares, or upon the expiration of all applicable option periods,
any conversion rights then applicable to such Series A Shares shall again be
exercisable by the then holder of such Series A Shares.
(d) In addition to the restrictions and conditions set forth in the
Stockholders Agreement, it is further agreed that a Purchaser may transfer any
Series A Shares (or any Conversion Shares) to a third party if and only if,
prior to the consummation of any such transfer, in addition to complying with
any applicable warranties contained in Section 3 hereof, the transferring
Purchaser shall obtain the written agreement of such transferee that the
transferee will be bound by, and the Series A Shares or Conversion Shares
transferred will be subject to, this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement.
Such written agreement shall be attached as an addendum to this Agreement and
the Stockholders Agreement and shall thereby be incorporated as a part of this
Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, whereupon
-12-
such transferee shall have adopted this Agreement and the Stockholders
Agreement, and thereafter shall be a party hereto and thereto, and the term
"Stockholder" as used in the Stockholders Agreement shall thereafter mean and
include such transferee. The Company shall not give effect on its books to any
transfer or purported transfer of Series A Shares or Conversion Shares held or
owned by a Purchaser to any person unless each and all of the conditions hereof
affecting such transfer shall have been satisfied.
SECTION 8.
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Expenses. Each party hereto will pay its own expenses in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions
shall be consummated.
8.2 Survival of Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations,
and warranties made herein or in any certificate or instrument delivered to the
Purchasers pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the Closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
8.3 Finder's Fees.
(a) The Company (i) represents and warrants that it has retained no
finder or broker, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Purchasers harmless of
and from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a
finder's fee to any broker or other person or firm (and the costs and expenses
of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the
Company, or any of its employees or representatives, is responsible.

FORM OF
ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF
SATELLINK PAGING INC.
1. The name of the corporation is Satellink Paging Inc.
2. The date of incorporation was June 2, 1988.
3. Effective upon the filing hereof with the Secretary of State of
Georgia, the Articles of Incorporation of Satellink Paging Inc. shall be amended
by deleting Article V thereof in its entirety and in lieu thereof inserting the
following:
V
A. Authorized Capitalization. The total number of shares of capital
stock that the corporation shall be authorized to issue is One
Hundred Thousand (100,000) divided into three classes as follows:
(a) Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of Class A common stock, $.01 par
value ("Class A Common Stock"), (b) Twenty Thousand (20,000) shares
of Class B common stock, $.0l par value ("Class B Common Stock"),
and (c) Thirty Thousand (30,000) shares of preferred stock, $.01 par
value ("Preferred Stock").
B. Common Stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock shall have
unlimited voting rights. The holders of shares of Class A Common
Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share in all proceedings in
which action may be or is required to be taken by the shareholders
of the corporation. The shares of Class A Common Stock and the Class
B Common Stock (together, "Common Stock") shall be identical in all
respects and for all purposes except that the holders of shares of
Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote except with
respect to those matters as to which the Georgia Business
Corporation Code expressly
Exhibit A
A-1
confers voting rights upon non-voting shares. Each share of Common
Stock shall be entitled to participate equally in all dividends
payable with respect to the Common Stock as, if, and when declared
by the Board of Directors of the corporation, subject to any
dividend preferences of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, and
share ratably in all assets of the corporation in the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of
the affairs of the corporation or upon any distribution of the
assets of the corporation, subject to any liquidation preferences of
the Preferred Stock then outstanding.
C. Preferred Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation and to the provisions of the Georgia Business
Corporation Code, as it exists now or as hereafter may be amended,
the Board of Directors of the corporation may determine the
preferences, limitations, and relative rights of any series of
Preferred Stock and may designate the number of shares within that
series prior to the issuance of any shares of that series.
D. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The authorized shares of
Preferred Stock of the corporation shall include a series designated
as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred
Stock") which shall consist of Seven Thousand Five Hundred (7,500)
shares. The rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions
granted to and imposed upon the Series A Preferred Stock are:
(1) Voting. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote
of the shareholders of the corporation, voting together with
the holders of Class A Common Stock as one class. Each share
of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of
votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock could be
converted on the record date for determining the shareholders
entitled to vote, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a vote;
it being understood that whenever the Conversion Price (as
hereinafter defined) is adjusted as provided in paragraph (5)
of this Article V.D., the voting rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall also be similarly adjusted.
Exhibit A
A-2
Except as required by law or set forth in this paragraph (1)
of this Article V.D., the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall
not be required for the taking of any corporate action.
(2) Dividends. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive out of funds legally available
therefor and before any cash, stock, or other dividend is
declared or paid with respect to any class or series of Common
Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the
Company, whether now existing or hereafter issued, when, as,
and if declared by the Board of Directors, dividends at the
rate per annum of $12.00 per share payable annually on
November 15 (or, if such date is not a business day, on the
business day immediately following such date) commencing on
November 15, 1991, to holders of record on the 10th business
day preceding the dividend payment date. Commencing on the
date of original issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock (the "Original Issue Date"), dividends shall accrue from
day to day, whether or not earned or declared, and shall be
cumulative; provided, however, that except as provided in
paragraphs (3) and (11) of this Article V.D., the corporation
shall be under no obligation to pay dividends unless and until
declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends accrued on
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for any period less than a
full annual period between dividend payment dates (or, in the
case of the first dividend payment, from the Original Issue
Date through the first dividend payment date) shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 30-day months.
Accrued but unpaid dividends shall accumulate as of the
dividend payment date on which they first become payable, but
no interest shall accrue or be payable on accumulated but
unpaid dividends. Any partial payment of then accrued
dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be made
pro rata.
(3) Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the
holders of shares of Series A
Exhibit A
A-3
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the
assets or funds of the corporation which remain after
satisfaction in full of all valid claims of creditors and
which are available for distribution to shareholders, and
prior to and in preference of any distribution or payment of
any such assets or funds of the corporation to the holders of
shares of Common Stock or of any class or series of capital
stock of the corporation, whether now existing or hereafter
created, a liquidation payment in an amount per share equal to
$100.00, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued but
unpaid thereon (whether or not declared) to the date payment
thereof is made available to holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, plus a cumulative liquidation premium at the
rate of $38.00 per share per annum accruing from the Original
Issue Date to the date payment is made available to holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, computed on the basis of a
360-day year of 30-day months; provided, however, that if the
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation,
whether voluntary or involuntary, occurs following the fifth
anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the liquidation
premium shall be $190.00 per share. The amount payable with
respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to
this paragraph (3) of this Article V.D. upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary, is hereinafter referred to as the
"Liquidation Payment". If upon the liquidation, dissolution,
or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the assets or funds which remain after
satisfaction in full of all valid claims of creditors and
which are available for distribution to the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit
payment to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
of the full amounts of their Liquidation Payments, then the
assets or funds of the corporation available for such
distribution shall be distributed pro rata among the holders
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding based
on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by
each. After the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have been
paid in full their Liquidation Payments, the remaining assets
or funds of the corporation, if any, may be
Exhibit A
A-4
distributed to the holders of stock ranking on liquidation
junior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Written notice of the
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the corporation,
whether voluntary or involuntary, stating a payment date, the
amount of the Liquidation Payment per share, and the place
where Liquidation Payments shall be payable, shall be given by
mail, postage prepaid not less than twenty (20) days prior to
the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such notice to be
addressed to each such holder at his or its address as shown
by the records of the corporation. A consolidation or merger
of the corporation into or with any other entity or entities
or a sale, lease, exchange, or transfer by the corporation of
all or any part of its assets which shall not in fact result
in the liquidation (in whole or in part) of the corporation,
and the distribution of its assets to its shareholders, shall
be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of
the corporation within the meaning of the provisions of this
paragraph (3) of this Article V.D.
(4) Conversion. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have the following conversion rights:
(a) Right to Convert. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this paragraph (4) of this Article V.D., each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the
option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date
of issuance of such share, into fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock initially
at a conversion price equal to $100.00 per share of
Class A Common Stock, with each share of Series A
Preferred Stock being valued at $100.00 for such
purpose, which conversion price shall be adjusted as
hereinafter provided in this Article V.D. (such
conversion price, as so adjusted, is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Conversion Price") (that
is, a conversion rate initially equivalent to one (1)
share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock so converted, subject to adjustment as
the Conversion Price
Exhibit A
A-5
is adjusted as hereinafter provided in this Article
V.D.).
(b) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion rights of
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
exercised by giving written notice that the holder
elects to convert a stated number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock to the
corporation at its principal office (or such other
office or agency of the corporation as the corporation
may designate by notice in writing to the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock). Before any holder
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock
and to receive certificates therefor, the holder shall
surrender the certificate or certificates representing
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted,
duly endorsed, at the principal office of the
corporation (or such other office or agency of the
corporation as the corporation may designate by notice
in writing to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock)
(or shall notify the corporation that such certificate
has been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall execute an
agreement satisfactory to the corporation to indemnify
the corporation for any loss it may incur in connection
with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate), and
shall give written notice to the corporation at such
office specifying the name or names in which such holder
wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of
Class A Common Stock to be issued if different from the
name of such holder shown on the books and records of
the corporation. No fractional shares of Class A Common
Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional
share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled,
the corporation may, in its sole discretion, elect to
pay a cash amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the then effective Conversion Price. The corporation
shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of such
certificate or certificates, or such agreement and
indemnification in the case of
Exhibit A
A-6
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates,
issue and deliver to such holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such
holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, and, if the
corporation elects not to issue fractional shares, a
check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash
amounts payable in lieu of a fractional share of Class A
Common Stock resulting from the conversion. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately
prior to the close of business (the "Conversion Date")
on the date of surrender of the certificate or
certificates representing the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or
persons entitled to receive the certificate or
certificates for the shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all
purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares
of Class A Common Stock on such date. The corporation
shall not be obligated to pay any dividends which shall
have been declared and shall be payable to holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a dividend payment
date if the dividend record date for such dividend is
subsequent to the Conversion Date.
(5) Adjustment of Conversion Price. If and whenever the
corporation shall issue or sell, or is, in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this paragraph (5) of this Article
V.D., deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common
Stock for consideration per share less than the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale,
then, forthwith upon such issuance or sale, the Conversion
Price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
reduced to a price equal to the price per share at which the
corporation issued or sold or is deemed to have issued or
sold, such shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, no adjustment of the
Conversion Price shall be made as a result of the issuance of:
(i) any shares issued pursuant to any other stock option or
other plan duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the
corporation, provided that this
Exhibit A
A-7
exception shall not apply to issuances made pursuant to such
plans which exceed ten (10%) percent of the Common Stock of
the corporation then outstanding on a fully diluted basis,
counting as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise or conversion of all outstanding options,
warrants, and convertible securities; and (ii) any shares of
Common Stock issued pursuant to the conversion of any shares
of Class A Preferred Stock.
(a) Issuance of Rights or Options. In case at any time the
corporation shall grant (whether directly or by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or
other rights to subscribe for or purchase, or grant any
options for the purchase of, Common Stock or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock (such warrants, rights, options are hereinafter
the "Options" and such convertible or: exchangeable
stock or securities are hereinafter "Convertible
Securities") whether or not the Options or the right to
convert or exchange the Convertible Securities are
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such
Options or upon the conversion or exchange of such
Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (i) the
total amount, if any, received or receivable by the
corporation as consideration for the granting of such
Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the corporation upon the
exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of such
Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise
of such Options) shall be less than the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting
of such Options, then the total maximum number of
Exhibit A
A-8
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total
maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable
upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to
have been issued for such price per share as of the date
of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be
deemed to be outstanding, except as otherwise provided
in paragraph (5)(c) of this Article V.D., no adjustment
of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the
actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. In case the
corporation shall issue or sell (whether directly or by
assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible
Securities (other than Convertible Securities issued
upon the exercise of Options referred to in paragraph
(5)(a) of this Article V.D.), whether or not the rights
to exchange or convert the Convertible Securities are
immediately exercisable, and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or
exchange (determined by dividing (i) the total amount
received or receivable by the corporation as
consideration for the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to
the corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof,
by (ii) the total maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time
of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be
deemed to have been issued for such price per share as
of the date of the issuance or sale of such Convertible
Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding, and, except as otherwise provided in
paragraph (5) (c) of
Exhibit A
A-9
this Article V.D., no adjustment of the Conversion Price
shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common
Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(c) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Upon the
occurrence of any of the following events, namely, if
the purchase price provided for in any Option referred
to in paragraph (5)(a) of this Article V.D., the
additional consideration, if any, payable upon the
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities
referred to in paragraphs (5)(a) or (5)(b) of this
Article V.D., or the rate at which Convertible
Securities referred to in paragraphs (5)(a) or (5)(b) of
this Article V.D. are convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Stock shall change at any time (including,
but not limited to, changes under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the
Conversion Price in effect at the time of such event
shall forthwith be adjusted to the Conversion Price
which would have been in effect at such time had such
Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding
provided for such changed purchase price, additional
consideration, or conversion rate, as the case may be,
at the time initially granted, issued, or sold, but only
if as a result of such adjustment the Conversion Price
then in effect hereunder is thereby reduced; and on the
expiration of any such Option or the termination of any
such right to convert or exchange such Convertible
securities referred to in paragraphs (5)(a), (5)(b) or
(5)(c) of this Article V.D., the Conversion Price then
in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the
Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the
time of such expiration or termination had such Option
or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding
immediately prior to such expiration or termination,
never been issued.
(d) Stock Dividends. In case the corporation shall declare a
dividend or make any other
Exhibit A
A-10
distribution upon or with respect to any security of the
corporation which dividend or distribution is payable in
Common Stock (except for dividends or distributions upon
the Common Stock), Options, or Convertible Securities,
any Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities
issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution
shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for
consideration equal to the fair value of such Common
Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
corporation and the Conversion Price of the outstanding
Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted, if
appropriate, pursuant to the applicable provisions of
this paragraph (5) of this Article V.D.
(e) Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common
Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for cash, the consideration received
therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by
the corporation therefor, without deduction therefrom of
any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions or
concessions paid or allowed by the corporation in
connection therewith. In case any shares of Common
Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities shall be
issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the
amount of the consideration other than cash received by
the corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of
such consideration as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the corporation, without deduction
of any expenses incurred or any underwriting commissions
or concessions paid or allowed by the corporation in
connection therewith. In case any Options shall be
issued in connection with the issue and sale of other
securities of the corporation, together comprising one
integral transaction in which no specific consideration
is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto,
such Options shall be deemed to have been issued for
such consideration as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the corporation.
Exhibit A
A-11
(f) Record Date. In case the corporation shall take a record
of the holder or holders of a class of securities for
the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution
payable in Common Stock, Options, or Convertible
Securities, (ii) to subscribe for or otherwise acquire
any shares of stock of any class or any other securities
or property, or (iii) to receive any other distribution,
payment, or right, the corporation shall mail to each
holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at least
twenty (20) days prior to such record date, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution,
payment or right, and a description of the amount and
character of such dividend, distribution, payment, or
right.
(g) Treasury Shares. The disposition of any shares of Common
Stock owned or held by or for the account of the
corporation shall be considered an issue or sale of
Common Stock for the purpose of this paragraph (5) of
this Article V.D.
(h) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. In case the
corporation shall at any time subdivide (by any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or otherwise)
its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision shall be
proportionally reduced, and, conversely, in case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined
into a smaller number of shares (by a reverse stock
split, recapitalization, or otherwise), the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination
shall be proportionately increased.
(i) Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital
reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock
of the corporation (other than any reorganization or
reclassification effected in a transaction that is
deemed a
Exhibit A
A-12
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
corporation pursuant to paragraph (3) of this Article
V.D.) shall be effected, and, as a result thereof,
holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive securities or assets with respect to
or in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock, then,
as a condition of such reorganization or
reclassification, lawful and adequate provisions shall
be made whereby each holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right to receive, upon
conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
held by such holder, in lieu of the shares of Class A
Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the
conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the
number and kind of securities or the amount and kind of
assets to which a holder of a number of shares of Class
A Common Stock into which such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately
prior to such reorganization or reclassification, and in
any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with
respect to the rights and interests of holders of Series
A Preferred Stock such that the provisions of this
Article V.D. (including, without limitation, provisions
for adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, with
respect to any securities or assets thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of the conversion rights
of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(j) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the
Conversion Price the corporation shall give written
notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock at the address of such holder as shown on the
books of the corporation, which notice shall state the
Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, setting
forth in reasonable detail the method upon which such
calculation is based.
Exhibit A
A-13

(a) the corporation shall declare any dividend upon its
Common Stock or any class thereof payable in cash or
stock or make any other distribution to the holders of
its Common Stock or any class thereof;
(b) the corporation shall offer for subscription pro rata to
the holders of its Common Stock or any class thereof any

such holder as shown on the books of the corporation, (i) at
least twenty (20) days prior written notice of the date on
which the books of the corporation shall close or a record
shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, or
subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in
respect of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation, or winding up, at least twenty (20) days prior
written notice of the date when the same shall take place.
Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause shall also
specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution, or
subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common
Stock shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance
Exhibit A
A-14
with the foregoing clause shall also specify the date on which
the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange
their Common Stock for securities or other property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding up, as the case may be.

reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as herein
provided, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as
shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and if
at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of
Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all the then outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, the corporation will take such corporate action as may,
in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
(8) No Reissuance of Converted, Redeemed or Repurchased Series A
Preferred Stock. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock which
are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as provided
in this Article V.D., and any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock redeemed pursuant to paragraph (11) of this Article V.D.
or otherwise acquired by the corporation in any manner
whatsoever, shall be cancelled and shall not under any
circumstances be reissued, and the corporation may from time
to time take such appropriate corporate action as may be
necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized
shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(9) Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Class A
Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for
any issuance tax in respect thereof, provided that the
corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of
the

have the right to call for redemption all or any part of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at any time or
from time to time following the third anniversary of the
Original Issue Date, at a price per share equal to the
Liquidation Payment that would be payable thereon if the
corporation were liquidated, dissolved, or wound up on the
