FOR
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORP.
(THE "COMPANY")
CAPITAL STOCK
1. Authorized Stock. The total number of shares of stock which the
-----------------
Company shall have authority to issue is 900,000,000, consisting of 800,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and
100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
"Preferred Stock").
2. Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time
----------------
in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to create
and provide for the issuance of shares of the Preferred Stock in series and, by
filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable section of the NRS (the
"Preferred Stock Designation"), to establish from time to time the number of
shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers,
preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof. The authority of the Board of Directors
with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination
of the following:
(a) The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing
number, letter or title.
(b) The number of shares of the series, which number the Board of
Directors may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock
Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof
then outstanding).
(c) Whether dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative
and the dividend rate of the series.
(d) The dates at which dividends, if any, shall be payable.
(e) The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of
the series.
(f) The terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the
purchase or redemption of shares of the series.
(g) The amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of
the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the affairs of the Company.
(h) Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into shares
of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Company or any other
corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series of such
other security, the conversion price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments
thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible and all
other terms and conditions upon which such conversion may be made.
(i) Restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or of
any other class or series.
(j) The voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the
series.
(k) Such other powers, preferences and relative, participating,
optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof as the Board of Directors shall determine.
2
3. Common Stock. The Common Stock shall be subject to the express terms
-------------
of the Preferred Stock and any series thereof. Each share of the Common Stock
shall be equal to each other share of the Common Stock. The holders of shares
of the Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share upon all
questions presented to the stockholders.
4. Voting Rights. Except as may be provided in these Articles of
-------------
Incorporation or in a Preferred Stock Designation, or as may be required by
applicable law, the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the
election of directors and for all other purposes, and holders of shares of the
Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive notice of any meeting of
stockholders at which they are not entitled to vote. At each election for
directors, every stockholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the
right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him for as
many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election he has
a right to vote. It is expressly prohibited for any stockholder to cumulate his
votes in any election of directors.
5. Denial of Preemptive Rights. No stockholder of the Company shall, by
----------------------------
reason of his holding shares of any class, have any preemptive or preferential
right to purchase or subscribe to any shares of any class of the Company, now or
hereafter to be authorized, or any notes, debentures, bonds, or other securities
convertible into or carrying options or warrants to purchase shares of any
class, now or hereafter to be authorized, whether or not the issuance of any
such shares, or such notes, debentures, bonds or other securities would
adversely affect dividend or voting rights of such stockholder, other than such
rights, if any, as the Board of Directors in its discretion may fix; and the
Board of Directors may issue shares of any class of the Company, or any notes,
debentures, bonds, or other securities convertible into or carrying options or
warrants to purchase shares of any class, without offering any such shares of
any class, either in whole or in part, to the existing stockholders of any
class.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
1. Number. The number of directors constituting the initial Board of
------
Directors is three. The business and affairs of the Company shall be conducted
and managed by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors. The total
number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be fixed
and may be altered from time to time by or pursuant to a resolution passed by
the Board of Directors.
2. Vacancies. Except as otherwise provided for herein, newly created
---------
directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors,
and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal or other cause, may be filled only by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less
than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance
with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term
of the newly created directorship or for the directorship in which the vacancy
occurred, and until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified, subject to his earlier death, disqualification, resignation or
removal. Subject to the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation, no
decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall
shorten the term of any incumbent director.
3. Removal of Directors. Except as otherwise provided in any Preferred
----------------------
Stock Designation, any director may be removed from office only by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to
vote at a meeting of stockholders called for that purpose, voting together as a
single class.
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
Meetings of stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholder Meetings") may be
held within or without the State of Nevada, as the Bylaws of the Company (the
"Bylaws") may provide. Special Stockholder Meetings may be called only by (a)
the President, (b) the holders of at least 10 percent of all of the shares
entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting, or (c) the Board of Directors
pursuant to a duly adopted resolution. Special Stockholder Meetings may not be
called by any other person or persons or in any other manner. Elections of
directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
3
STOCKHOLDER CONSENT
No action that is required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of
the Company at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be effected by
written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, unless the
action to be effected by written consent of stockholders and the taking of such
action by such written consent have expressly been approved in advance by the
Board of Directors.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except as otherwise provided in the NRS, a director or officer of the
Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for
damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director
or officer; provided, however, that this Article shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of a director or officer (a) if it is proven that his act or
failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties and such breach
involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (b)
under Section 78.300 of the NRS.
If the NRS is amended after the date of filing of these Articles of
Incorporation to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the
personal liability of a director, then the liability of the directors of the
Company shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the
NRS, as so amended, or a similar successor provision. Any repeal or
modification of this Article by the stockholders of the Company or otherwise
shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company
existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
INDEMNIFICATION
1. Discretionary Indemnification.(a) The Company may indemnify any person
------------------------------
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the
Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (i) is not
liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS; or (ii) acted in good faith and in
a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to Section
78.138 of the NRS or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(b) The Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (i) is not liable
pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS; or (ii) acted in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Company. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue
or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent
jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the
Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the
extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of
competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the courts deem proper.
2. Determination of Discretionary Indemnification. Any discretionary
-------------------------------------------------
indemnification pursuant to Section 1 of this Article "Indemnification", unless
ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to this Section 2, may be
4
made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in
the circumstances. The determination must be made:
(a) By the stockholders;
(b) By the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
(c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion; or
(d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion.
The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are
incurred in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding,
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to
repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
3. Mandatory Indemnification. To the extent that a director, officer,
--------------------------
employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this
Article "Indemnification", or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
the Company shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
4. Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses
---------------
authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this Article:
(a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an
action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding
his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to
Section 1 of this Article, or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to
Section 2 of this Article may not be made to or on behalf of any director or
officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved
intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material
to the cause of action.
(b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of any such person.
5. Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance or make
----------
other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted
against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a
director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify him against such
liability expenses.
AMENDMENT OF CORPORATE DOCUMENTS
1. Articles of Incorporation. Whenever any vote of the holders of voting
-------------------------
shares of the capital stock of the Company is required by law to amend, alter,
repeal or rescind any provision of these Articles of Incorporation, such
alteration, amendment, repeal or rescission of any provision of these Articles
of Incorporation must be approved by the Board of Directors and by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting shares of capital stock of the Company,
voting together as a single class.
5
Subject to the provisions hereof, the Company reserves the right at any
time, and from time to time, to amend, alter, repeal or rescind any provision
contained in these Articles of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter
prescribed by law, and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of
Nevada at the time in force may be added or inserted, in the manner now or
hereafter prescribed by law; and all rights, preferences and privileges of
whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons
whomsoever by and pursuant to these Articles of Incorporation in their present

Revenue Code provision, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if
more than one is applicable).

stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy.
Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the

shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and
canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions
relating to the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the
acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have

ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and
outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote and present in
person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be
as valid and as binding upon the Company and upon all the stockholders as if it
has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Company.
2.11. Inspectors of Election. The Company shall, in advance of any
------------------------
meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be
employees of the Company, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and
to make a written report thereof. The Company may designate one or more persons
as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no
inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of
stockholders, the chairman or the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint
one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering

faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the
best of his ability.

power of each such share; (b) determine the shares of capital stock of the
Company represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; (c)
count all votes and ballots; (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a
record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the
inspectors; and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares of the
capital stock of the Company represented at the meeting and such inspectors'
count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify
such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity
and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the
Company, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by
applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may
serve as an inspector at such election.

---------------------------------
determine the conditions upon which a new certificate representing shares of the

alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in its discretion,
require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond,

and extent of the indemnification or advance sought by the Indemnitee. The
Secretary shall promptly advise the Board of Directors of any such request.
6.3. Extension of Rights. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this
--------------------
Article VI or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee for
acts, events and circumstances that occurred, in whole or in part, before such
amendment, alteration or repeal. The provisions of this Article VI shall
continue as to an Indemnitee whose Corporate Status has ceased for any reason
and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.
Neither the provisions of this Article VI nor those of any agreement to which
the Company is a party shall be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any
person who is not specified in this Article VI as having the right to receive

has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the NRS.
6.4. Insurance and Subrogation. The Company shall not be liable under

the Articles of Incorporation or this Article VI to make any payment of amounts

policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. In the event of any payment
hereunder, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all
the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required

the provisions of this Article VI shall be construed so as to give effect to the
intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
6.6. Notices. Promptly after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of
-------
the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Indemnitee shall, if he
anticipates or contemplates making a claim for expenses or an advance pursuant
to the terms of the Articles of Incorporation and this Article VI, notify the
Company of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding; provided,
however, that any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a
waiver or release by the Indemnitee of rights hereunder and that any omission by
the Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any
liability that it may have to the Indemnitee otherwise than under the Articles
of Incorporation or this Article VI. Any communication required or permitted to
the
10
Company shall be addressed to the Secretary and any such communication to the
Indemnitee shall be addressed to the Indemnitee's address as shown on the
Company's records unless he specifies otherwise and shall be personally
delivered or delivered by overnight mail delivery. Any such notice shall be
effective upon receipt.
6.7. Contractual Rights. The right to be indemnified or to the

as to events occurring prior to the adoption of these provisions, and (c) shall

CONTINUATION FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
FOR THE
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
2. Liquidation Rights. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up
-------------------
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out
of the assets of the Company the sum of $0.001 per share (the "Liquidation
Rate") before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Stock, or
any other class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series A
Preferred Stock.
(a) The sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of
stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the
property and assets of the Company shall be deemed a dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company for purposes of this Paragraph 3, but the merger,
consolidation, or other combination of the Company into or with any other
corporation, or the merger, consolidation, or other combination of any other
corporation into or with the Company, shall not be deemed a dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for purposes of this
Paragraph 3. As use herein, the "merger, consolidation, or other combination"
shall include, without limitation, a forward or reverse triangular merger, or
stock exchange of the Company and any of its subsidiaries with any other
corporation.
(b) After the payment to the holders of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts fixed by this Paragraph 3 for
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the
Company.
(c) In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution
to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock upon dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to
which such holders are entitled pursuant to this Paragraph 3, no distribution
shall be made on account of any shares of a class or series of capital stock of
the Company ranking on a parity with the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock,
if any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate
distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributive amounts for
which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
3. Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. At any time, the holder of
-----------------------------------------
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's
option, to convert any number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into
shares of the Common Stock. Such right to convert shall commence as of the date
the shares of such Series A Preferred Stock are issued to such holder (the
"Issue Date") and shall continue thereafter for a period of 10 years, such
period ending on the 10th anniversary of the Issue Date. In the event that the
holder of the Series A Preferred Stock elects to convert such shares into Common
Stock, the holder shall have 60 days from the date of such notice in which to
tender his shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Company. Any such
conversion shall be upon the other following terms and conditions:
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to adjustment as provided herein, each
----------------
share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 200 fully paid
and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock (the "Conversion Rate").
(b) Adjustment of Conversion Rate for Dilution and Other Events. In
------------------------------------------------------------
order to prevent dilution of the rights granted to the holders of shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
(i) Adjustment of Conversion Rate upon Subdivision or
-------------------------------------------------------
Combination of the Common Stock. If the Company at any time subdivides the
-----------------------------------
Common Stock (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise)
into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior
to
1
such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time
combines the Common Stock (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise)
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior
to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, or
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sale. Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
----
merger, or other similar transaction which is effected in such a way that
holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon
subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in
exchange for the Common Stock is referred to herein as an "Organic Change."
Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company will make
appropriate provision, in form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, to ensure
that each of the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will
thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to,
as the case may be, the shares of the Common Stock immediately theretofore
acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of such holder's Series A
Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or
payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of shares of the Common
Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the conversion of
such holder's shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had such Organic Change not
taken place. In any such case, the Company will make appropriate provision, in
form and substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to such holders' rights and
interests to ensure that the provisions of this paragraph and paragraph 4(c)
below will thereafter be applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock. The
Company will not effect any such consolidation or merger, unless prior to the
consummation thereof the successor entity resulting from such consolidation or
merger, if other than the Company, assumes, by written instrument, in form and
substance satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock, the obligation to deliver to each holder of shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets as,
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, that such holder may be entitled to
acquire.
(iii) Notices. Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion
-------
Rate, the Company will give written notice of such adjustment to each holder of
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, setting forth in reasonable detail and
certifying the calculation of such adjustment. The Company will give written
notice to each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at least 20 days
prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record with
respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, or with respect
to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of the Common Stock. The Company
will also give written notice to each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock at least 20 days prior to the date on which any Organic Change,
dissolution or liquidation will take place.
(c) Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or
----------------
sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants,
securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of the Common Stock
(the "Purchase Rights"), then each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if
such holder had held the number of shares of the Common Stock acquirable upon
complete conversion of the holder's shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of
which the record holders of the Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(d) Mechanics of Conversion. To convert shares of the Series A
-------------------------
Preferred Stock into full shares of the Common Stock on any date (the
"Conversion Date"), the holder thereof shall (i) deliver or transmit by
facsimile to the Company, for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time,
on the Conversion Date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the
form attached hereto as Attachment A (the "Conversion Notice"), and (ii)
-------------
surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable
following such date, the certificates (each a "Preferred Stock Certificate")
representing the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock being converted, or an
indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of the loss,
theft or destruction thereof, and the originally executed Conversion Notice.
Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the
Company shall immediately send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such
Conversion Notice to such holder. Within five business days of the Company's
receipt of the originally executed Conversion Notice and the holder's Preferred
Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall issue and surrender to a common carrier
for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a
certificate, registered
2
in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of the
Common Stock to which the holder is entitled.
(e) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive shares
--------------
of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such
shares of the Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
(f) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
------------------
any fraction of a share of the Common Stock upon any conversion. All shares of
the Common Stock, including fractions thereof, issuable upon conversion of more
than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be aggregated for purposes
of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction
of a share of the Common Stock. If, after such aggregation, the issuance would
result in the issuance of a fraction of it share of the Common Stock, the
Company shall round such fraction of a share of the Common Stock up or down to
the nearest whole share.
(g) Reissuance of Certificates. In the event of a conversion of less
--------------------------
than all of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by a
particular Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be
issued and delivered to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock a new Series
A Preferred Stock Certificate representing the remaining shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock which were not corrected.
4. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, so long as any of the
-----------------------
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of the Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of the Common Stock as shall from time to
time be sufficient to affect the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock.
5. Preferred Status. The rights of the shares of the Common Stock shall
-----------------
be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock. Without the prior written consent of the holders of not less
than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock,
the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital
stock that is of senior or equal rank to the shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company described in Paragraph 3
above.
6. Restriction on Dividends. If any shares of the Series A Preferred
--------------------------
Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock, directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any
dividends or other distributions upon any of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this paragraph shall not prohibit the Company from declaring and
paying a dividend in cash with respect to the shares of the Common Stock so long
as the Company simultaneously pays each holder of shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock an amount in cash equal to the amount such holder would have
received had all of such holder's shares of the Series A Preferred Stock been
converted to shares of the Common Stock on the business day prior to the record
date for any such dividend.
7. Vote to Change the Terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. Without the
--------------------------------------------------------
prior written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the
outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall not amend,
alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights
of the Series A Preferred Stock.
8. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence
----------------------------
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Preferred Stock Certificates representing shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification
undertaking or bond, in the Company's discretion, by the holder to the Company
and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred
Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new Series A
Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the
Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Series A Preferred Stock Certificates
if the holder thereof contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Common Stock.
3
9. Voting. On all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the
------
Common Stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder
of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of
votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock held by such holder multiplied by the number of shares of the Common Stock
each such share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall then be convertible into
pursuant to the terms Paragraph 4 hereof.
