Adopted March 27, 2008

 

Series A Preferred Stock Designation

 

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of SPAR Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as amended, (a) authorizes the Corporation to issue a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of a par value of one cent ($.01) each, and (b) expressly vests in the Board of Directors of the Corporation the authority, by resolution or resolutions, (i) to approve the issuance of any or all of said shares in one or more series and (ii) to fix the voting powers (full, limited or none), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each such series of preferred stock to be issued; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) has determined that it is desirable for the Corporation to raise additional capital through the issuance of shares of preferred stock as hereinafter provided; and now, therefore, it is

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board in accordance with the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, a series of the Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall be, and it hereby is, created, and that the voting powers (full, limited or none), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof shall be and hereby fixed are as follows (all of which may be referred to as this “Designation”):

(a)

Designation and Amount of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(i)

The shares of such series shall be and hereby is designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” and the maximum number of shares constituting such series shall be 3,000,000 (as reduced from time to time as hereinafter provided, the “Maximum Share Number”).

(ii)

The Maximum Share Number may be decreased, at any time and from time to time, by resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the Maximum Share Number to a number less than the full number of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(iii)

The Maximum Share Number shall be reduced automatically from time to time by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted into shares of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to this Designation. However, the Maximum Share Number shall not be reduced by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed at the option of the Corporation.

(b)

Potential Dividend Accruals and Dividend Declarations.

(i)

Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, as hereinafter provided, cumulative dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at a rate of 2.5% per calendar quarter (the “Quarterly Rate”) (i.e., 10% per annum) of the purchase price paid for such share (the “Purchase Price”).

(ii)

Potential dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (each a “Quarterly Accrual” and collectively the “Cumulative Accruals”) (A) shall automatically accrue as of the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year (each a “Accrual Date”) for the three month calendar quarter then ending or such shorter period as such share may have been issued and outstanding (each a “Accrual Period”), (B) shall for the applicable Accrual Period be equal to the product of (x) the Quarterly Rate, times (y) the applicable Purchase Price for such share, times (z) the Accrual Period Fraction (as hereinafter defined), and (C) shall be added to and be cumulative with all prior Cumulative Accruals. However, the Cumulative Accruals shall be reduced from time to time (without duplication) upon declaration by the amount of each Dividend (as hereinafter defined) declared or deemed declared therefrom and upon payment by the amount of the Cumulative Accruals or portion thereof paid in liquidation or redemption as hereinafter provided. “Accrual Period Fraction” shall mean either (x) 1.0000 for each Accrual Period that is a full calendar quarter, or (y) shall be equal to the quotient (expressed as a decimal carried to four places) of the actual number of days such share was issued and outstanding during any shorter Accrual Period (counting any day part as a whole day) divided by the full number of calendar days in the applicable calendar quarter.

(iii)

At the discretion of the Board, outstanding Cumulative Accruals (as hereinafter defined) respecting the Series A Preferred Stock may be declared in whole or in part to be payable as a dividend, when, if and as declared by the Board and made out of any amounts legally available therefor, through either (A) the payment of cash as hereinafter provided (a “Cash Dividend”), or (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock as hereinafter provided (a “Stock Dividend”). In the case of a Stock Dividend, the Cumulative Accruals shall be deemed paid in an amount equal to the number of shares issued times the Per Share Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of a share of Common Stock at the record date for such dividend. Cash Dividends and Stock Dividends may be referred to individually as a “Dividend” and collectively as “Dividends”.

(iv)

Per Share Market Value” means on any particular date (A) the closing bid price per share, or the last sale price per share, as applicable, of the Common Stock on such date on the Nasdaq or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest preceding such date, or (B) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the Nasdaq or any other registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices) at the close of business on such date, or (C) if the Common Stock is not then reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), then the average of the “Pink Sheet” quotes for the relevant conversion date, as determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board, or (D) if the Common Stock is not then publicly traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Corporation’s Board; provided, however, that all determinations of the Per Share Market Value shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits or other similar transactions during such period. The determination of fair market value by an independent appraiser shall be based upon the fair market value of the Corporation determined on a going concern basis as between a willing buyer and a willing seller and taking into account all relevant factors determinative of value, and shall be final and binding on all parties. In determining the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock, no consideration shall be given to any restrictions on transfer of the Common Stock imposed by agreement or by federal or state securities laws, or to the existence or absence of, or any limitations on, voting rights.

(v)

The Corporation shall pay or distribute the applicable Dividend so declared by the Board on each share of Series A Preferred Stock, on such payment or distribution date as shall have been fixed by the Board at the time of the declaration of such Dividend, to the holder of record of such share at the close of business on such record date as shall have been fixed by the Board at the time of the declaration of such Dividend, and each such holder shall be entitled to receive such Dividend applicable to his or her shares so declared.

(vii)

No holder of any Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed on account of any Cumulative Accruals to be a creditor of the Corporation or be entitled to receive payment or distribution of any dividend unless, until and only to the extent the Board has declared a Cash Dividend or Stock Dividend or the Corporation is deemed to have declared a Stock Dividend with respect thereto.

The holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at his or her option, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Corporation (a “Conversion Notice”), to convert all or any portion (but not less than 100 shares unless such shares constitute all) of the holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the equivalent number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the date of the surrender of such shares for conversion, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date; provided, however, that no such surrender on any day when the stock transfer books for the Corporation’s Common Stock shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open.

on a parity with shares of Series A Preferred Stock (other than other shares of Series A Preferred Stock), whether or not such shares contain dividend rates or payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share or sinking fund provisions, if any, different from those of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if the holders of such series or class shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends in proportion to their respective accrued dividends per share and to the receipt of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation in proportion to their respective full per share distributive amounts, as the case may be, without preference or priority, one over the other, as between the holders of shares of such series or class of stock and the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but only to the extent approved by them as hereinafter provided; and

(ii)

Except as otherwise provided in this Designation or required by applicable law, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote, to participate in any meeting of shareholders, to have notice of any meeting of shareholders, to receive any other notice or report and to have any other right or benefit, in each case as if such share of Series A Preferred Stock were a share of Common Stock.

(iii)

On any matters on which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, each holder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (whether as part of a class or as if a Common Stock holder).

(i)

The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and potential Stock Dividends, 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 Series A Preferred Stock and payment of Stock Dividends in respect of all accrued and undeclared Dividends; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall be insufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will use its best efforts to take such 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.

(ii)

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock or making of any Stock Dividend.

(iii)

No holder of Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall, because of his ownership of such Series A Preferred Stock, have a pre-emptive right to purchase, subscribe for or take any part of any shares or securities, options or warrants convertible into any shares of the Corporation which may be issued, optioned for sale or sold at any time by the Corporation.

and it is further

RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the Corporation be, and each of them hereby is, authorized, empowered and directed, with each such officer having the full authority to act without the participation or consent of any other officer, (A) to file with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation providing for the issuance of the series of stock designated in the foregoing resolution, (B) to execute and deliver any and all further agreements, instruments, certificates, waivers and other documents or communications, (C) to do and perform any and all such other acts and things, and (D) to take or omit to take any and all such further action, in each case in the name and on behalf of the Corporation as such officer(s) may, in his or her discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order to perform or otherwise satisfy (in whole or in part) such Resolutions or their purposes or intents, under its corporate seal or otherwise.
