SCHEDULE 3.01
INFORMATION ARCHITECTS CORPORATION
SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK, $0.001 PAR VALUE
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES, RIGHTS, AND LIMITATIONS
Pursuant to Section 55-6-02 of the North Carolina Business
Corporation Act (the "NCBCA"), Information Architects Corporation, a North
Carolina corporation (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies that:
FIST: Pursuant to the authority of the Board of Directors of
the Corporation pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation and Section 55-6-02 of
the NCBCA, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, by resolutions duly
adopted effective as of April 11,2003 has (1) designated a series of Preferred
Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Corporation to be "Series B Preferred
Stock" consisting of 215,350 shares of the authorized but unissued Preferred
Stock, (2) authorized the issuance of a maximum of 215,350 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred"), and (3) set the rights, preferences,
limitations, and other terms and conditions of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Approval of the shareholders of the Corporation was not required.
SECOND: The Series B Preferred of the Corporation created by
the resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall
have the following designation, number of shares, preferences, rights,
limitations, and other
terms and conditions:
1. Designation and Rank. A total of 215,350 shares of Preferred
Stock, $0.001 par value per share, shall be designated "Series B Preferred
Stock". The Series B Preferred shall rank (i) prior to the common stock, par
value $.001 per share, and to all other classes and series of equity securities
of the Corporation which by their terms do not rank senior to the Series B
Preferred ("Junior Stock") and (ii) junior to any class or series of equity
securities which by its terms shall rank senior to the Series B Preferred,
including the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred shall be
subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Corporation now or
hereafter outstanding.
2. Dividends. If the Board of Directors shall declare a cash
dividend payable upon the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation
out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor pursuant to the
NCBCA, the Board of Directors shall at the same time declare a dividend payable
on each share of the Series B Preferred in the amount of the dividend payable on
the number of shares of common stock into which each such share of Series B
Preferred could be converted pursuant to Section 5, such number to be determined
one day before the record date for the determination of holders of common stock
entitled to receive such dividends. Dividends on the Series B Preferred will be
in preference to dividends paid on the common stock and any Junior Stock.
So long as any shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding, the
Corporation shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make
any distribution on any Junior Stock (other than dividends or distributions
payable in additional shares of Junior Stock), unless at the time of such
dividend or distribution the Corporation shall have paid all accrued and unpaid
dividends on the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred.
3. Liquidation Preference.
a. Preferential Amounts. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation (a "Liquidation
Event"), either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of
the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and
in preference to any payment or distribution to the holders of
common stock or any other shares of capital stock ranking
junior as to liquidation, dissolution, or winding up to the
Series B Preferred, an amount equal to $0 per share plus the
amount of any dividend declared but then unpaid with respect
to the Series B Preferred, if any (the "Initial Payment").
After the Initial Payment and the payment of any other
distribution that may be required with respect to any other
series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into
existence, holders of Series B Preferred, holders of other
series of Preferred Stock, and the holders of Common Stock
shall participate ratably (assuming conversion of all
Preferred Stock into Common Stock).
b. Insufficient Assets. If the assets of the Company are not
sufficient to pay in full the Initial Payment plus any accrued
and unpaid dividends payable to the holders of outstanding
shares of the Series B Preferred and any series of preferred
stock or any other class of stock on parity, as to rights on
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, with the Series B
Preferred, then all of such assets will be distributed among
the holders of the Series B Preferred and the other classes of
stock on parity with the Series B Preferred, if any, ratably
in accordance with the respective amounts that would be
payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were
paid in full.
c. Deemed Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 3, a
"Liquidation Event" includes (i) a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or (ii) a
merger, acquisition, or similar transaction that results in
the Corporation's shareholders immediately prior to such
transaction holding less than 50% of the voting power of the
surviving, continuing, or purchasing entity.
d. Non-cash Distribution. If any of the assets of the Corporation
are to be distributed to shareholders other than in cash under
this Section3 or for any purpose, the value of the assets to
be distributed will be deemed its fair market value. Any
securities to be distributed to the shareholders shall be
valued as follows:
i. If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall
be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of
the securities on such exchange over the thirty (30)
day period ending three (3) business days prior to
the closing of the transaction;
ii. If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall
be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices
over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3)
business days prior to the closing of the
transaction; and
iii. If there is no active public market, the value shall
be the fair market value thereof, as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
4. Voting Rights. Except as set forth herein or as otherwise
required by law, the holder of each share of Series B Preferred shall have the
right to 200 votes for each share of preferred stock on the record date for
determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no
such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written
consent of shareholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all
other shares of capital stock of the Corporation having general voting power and
not counted separately as a class, except as set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth in the
Articles of Incorporation, the holders of Series B Preferred shall not vote
separately as a class. Holders of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to notice
of any shareholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.
5. Conversion. The holders of the Series B Preferred have
conversion rights as follows:
a. Automatic Conversion. Subject to adjustment as set
forth in this Section 5, each share of Series B
Preferred shall be converted automatically into 100
shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
common stock (the "Conversion Rate") without any
further action by the holders of such shares
b. Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of
common stock shall be issued upon conversion of the
Series B Preferred. The Corporation shall round up
fractional shares to which the holder would
otherwise be entitled to the nearest whole number.
c. Reservation of Stock Issuable upon Conversion. The
Corporation shall at all times use its best efforts
to reserve and keep available out of its authorized
and unissued shares of common stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of
the Series B Preferred, such number of its shares of
common stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all
outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred.
d. Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Subdivisions,
Combinations, or Consolidations of Common Stock. If
the outstanding shares of common stock shall be
subdivided (by stock dividends, splits, or
otherwise), into a greater number of shares of
preferred stock, the Conversion Rate then in effect
shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
subdivision, be proportionately increased. In the
event the outstanding shares of common stock shall
be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or
otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of common
stock, the Conversion Rate then in effect shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such
combination or consolidation, be proportionately
decreased.
e. Adjustments for Other Distributions. If the
Corporation at any time or from time to time makes,
or fixes a record date for the determination of
holders of common stock entitled to receive any
distribution payable in securities or assets of the
Corporation other than shares of common stock, in
each such event provision shall be made so that the
holders of Series B Preferred shall receive upon
conversion thereof, in addition to the number of
shares of common stock receivable thereupon, the
amount of securities or assets of the Corporation
which they would have received had their Series B
Preferred been converted into common stock on the
date of such event and had they thereafter, during
the period from the date of such event to and
including the date of conversion, retained such
securities or assets receivable by them as aforesaid
during such period, subject to all other adjustments
called for during such period under this Section 5
with respect to the rights of the holders of the
Series B Preferred.
f. Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and
Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred shall be
changed into the same or a different number of
shares of any other class or classes of stock,
whether by capital reorganization, reclassification,
or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination of shares provided for above), then and
in each such event the holder of each share of
Series B Preferred shall have the right thereafter
to convert such share into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property
receivable upon such reorganization or
reclassification or other change by holders of the
number of shares of common stock that would have
been subject to receipt by the holders upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred immediately
before that change, all subject to further
adjustment as provided herein.
g. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence
of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion
Rate pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation, at
its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment
or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof
and furnish to each holder of Series B Preferred a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon
which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The
Corporation shall, upon the written request at any
time of any holder of Series B Preferred, furnish or
cause to be furnished to such holder a like
certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and
readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Rate at the time
in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other property
which at the time would be received upon the
conversion of Series B Preferred.
THIRD: These Articles of Amendment were duly adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation in the manner and by the vote required by the
NCBCA.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused these Articles
of Amendment to be executed as of _________________, 2003.
