Section 1.     Designation and Amount. The shares of this series shall be designated as “Non-Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1” (the “Series 1 Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares constituting the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be Two Million (2,000,000) shares.

 

Section 2.      Dividends and Distributions.

 

(A)             The holders of record of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly cash dividends payable in arrears on the first day of January, April, July and October in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), to the holders of record of the Series 1 Preferred Stock at the close of business on or about the 15th day of the month next preceding the first day of January, April, July or October, as the case may be, fixed by the Board of Directors (the “Record Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after March 31, 1994 in an amount (if any) per share (rounded to the nearest cent), subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to one-quarter of the total annual dividend of ninety cents (90%) per share.

 

(B)              Dividends due pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section shall begin to accrue on outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding March 31, 1994. Dividends accruing on outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative. Dividends paid on the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.

 

13 

 

 

(C)              No dividends shall accrue or be paid on the Series 1 Preferred Stock, if after payment, the Bank would be undercapitalized within the meaning of Section 38(d) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

 

Section 3.      Certain Restrictions.

 

(A)             Prior to March 31, 1994, the Bank shall not in any circumstances, and after March 31, 1994, whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series 1 Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Bank shall not:

 

(i)               declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series 1 Preferred Stock:

 

(ii)              declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series 1 Preferred stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series 1 Preferred Stock and all such parity stock

 

on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or

 

(iii)             redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series 1 Preferred Stock, provided that the Bank may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Bank ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series 1 Preferred Stock.

 

(B)              The Bank shall not permit any subsidiary of the Bank to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Bank unless the Bank could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 3, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

 

Section 4.      Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Bank’s Federal Stock Charter or the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, or successor thereto, holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required for taking any corporate action.

 

Section 5.      Conversion.

 

(A)             Conversion Privilege. Each holder of a share of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall have the right, at his option, at any time or from time to time to convert such share into six (6) fully paid and nonaccessable shares of the Bank’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). No adjustment or allowance shall be made for dividends on shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion, whether accrued, accumulated or otherwise. If the Bank subdivides or combine in a larger or smaller number of shares its outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series 1 Preferred Stock will be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and decreased in the case of a combination effective in either case at the close of business on the date that the subdivision or combination becomes effective. If the Bank at any time pays to the holders of its Common Stock a dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be proportionally increased, effective at the close of business on the record date for determination of the holders of the Common Stock entitled to the dividend. In addition, the number of shares into which the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall convert shall be automatically adjusted from time to time in the same manner and to the same extent as the number of shares into which the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1, $.01 par value per share, of Star States Corporation (the “Star States Series 1 Preferred Stock”) shall be entitled to convert so that each share of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall at all times be convertible into the same number of shares of Common Stock as a share of Star States Series 1 Preferred Stock would then be entitled to convert.

 

14 

 

 

(B)              Manner of Exercise. In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, the holder thereof shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor to any transfer agent of the Bank for the Series 1 Preferred Stock, duly endorsed in blank for transfer, accompanied by written notice of election to convert such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock or a portion thereof executed on the form set forth on such certificates or on such other form as may be provided from time to time by the Bank. As soon as practicable after the surrender of such certificates as provided above the Bank shall cause to be issued and delivered, at the office of such transfer agent, to or on the order of the holder of the certificates thus surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable hereinunder upon the conversion of such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock and scrip, in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion as provided in paragraph (C). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date on which the certificates for such shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock have been surrendered as provided above, and the person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on such date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby.

 

(C)              Issuance of Scrip in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of Series 1 Preferred Stock. If two or more shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock are surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares issuable upon the conversion of such shares shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Original Liquidation Value (without adjustment for allowance for dividends whether accrued, accumulated or otherwise) of such shares. In lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock to which any holder would otherwise be entitled upon conversion of any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, the Bank shall issue non-interest-bearing and non-voting scrip certificates which shall not be entitled to dividends for such fraction, such certificates, together with other similar certificates, to be exchangeable for the number of full shares of Common Stock represented thereby, to be issued in such denominations and in such form, to expire after such reasonable time (which shall not less than one year after the date of issue thereof), to contain such provision for the sale, for the account of the holders of such certificates, of shares of Common Stock for which such certificates are exchangeable, and to be subject to such other terms and conditions, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine prior to the issue thereof.

 

15 

 

 

(D)             The Bank shall at all times reserve and keep available out of the authorized Common Stock the full number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock.

 

Section 6.      Redemption of the Series 1 Preferred Stock.

 

(A)             Redemption at the Bank’s Option. At any time on or after January 1, 1996, the Bank may redeem all or any portion of the Series 1 Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price per share equal to the Redemption Price (as defined herein). For each share which is called for redemption, the Bank will be obligated to pay to the holder thereof on the date on which redemption is to be made (the “Redemption Date”), upon surrender by such holder at the offices of the transfer agent for the Series 1 Preferred Stock of the certificate representing such share, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an appropriate form of assignment, an amount in cash equal to nine dollars ($9) per share (the “Redemption Price”).

 

(B)              Partial Redemption. In the event that less than all of the outstanding shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Bank and the shares to be redeemed shall be determined by lot or pro rata or by any other method as may be determined by such Board of Directors in its sole discretion to be equitable, and the certificate of the Bank’s Secretary filed with the transfer agent for the Series 1 Preferred Stock in respect of such determination shall be conclusive.

 

(C)              Notice of Redemption. In the event the Bank shall redeem shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock, notice of such redemption shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date, to each record holder of the shares to be redeemed, at such holder’s address as the same appears on the books of the Bank. Each such notice shall state: (i) the time and date as of which the redemption shall occur; (ii) the total number of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the Redemption Price; (iv) that the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock called for redemption may be converted at any time prior to the time and date fixed for redemption; (v) the applicable conversion price or rate; (vi) the place or places where certificates for such shares to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (vii) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Redemption Date.

 

(D)             Dividends after Redemption Date. If notice of redemption shall have been given as provided in paragraph (C), dividends on the shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Bank (except the right to receive from the Bank the Redemption Price without interest and except the right to convert such shares in accordance with Section 5) shall cease (including any right to receive dividends otherwise payable on any Dividend Payment Date that would have occurred after the Redemption Date) from and after the time and date fixed in the notice of Redemption Date or (ii) if the Bank shall so elect and state in the notice of redemption, from and after the time and date (which date shall be Redemption Date or an earlier date not less than fifteen (15) days after the date of mailing of the redemption notice) on which the Bank shall irrevocably deposit with a designated bank or trust company, as paying agent, money sufficient to pay at the office of such paying agent on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price. Any money so deposited with any such paying agent which shall not be required for such redemption because of the exercise of any right of conversion or otherwise shall be returned to the Bank forthwith. Upon surrender (in accordance with the notice of redemption) of the certificate or certificates for any shares to be so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Bank shall so require and the notice of redemption shall so state), such shares shall be redeemed by the Bank at the Redemption Price. In case fewer than all the shares represented by any such certificate are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares, without cost to the holder thereof, together with scrip in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 5(C). Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Bank and unclaimed at the end of one year from the Redemption Date shall revert to the general funds of the Bank, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Bank for the payment of the Redemption Price without interest. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Bank from time to time.

 

16 

 

 

(E)              No Other Redemption. The Series 1 Preferred Stock share not be subject to redemption except as provided in this Section 6.

 

Section 7.      Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Bank in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Federal Stock Charter of the Bank, including any supplementary section to the Federal Stock Charter creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

 

Section 8.      Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Bank the holders of shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of the Bank’s debts and liabilities and distributions or provisions for distributions in settlement of its liquidation account, and aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to nine dollars ($9) (the “Original Liquidation Value”) per share and the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further payment, such amounts being herein sometimes referred to as the “Liquidation Payments.” Upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Bank, after the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full the a mounts to which they shall be entitled, the remaining net assets of the Bank may be distributed to the holders of the Common Stock. Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, stating a payment date, the a mount of the Liquidation Payments and the place where said sums shall be payable shall be given by mail, postage prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days prior to this payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series 1 Preferred Stock, such notice to be addressed to each stockholder at his post office address as shown by the records of the Bank. Neither the consolidation nor merger of the Bank into or with any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Bank of all or any part of its assets, nor the reduction of the capital stock of the Bank, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Bank within the meaning of any of the provisions of this Section 8.

 

17 

 

 

Section 9.      Consolidation, Merger, etc. In the event the Bank shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such event each share of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to the amount which would have been received by the holder thereof if such share of Series 1 Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

The undersigned President and Secretary of the Bank hereby certify that the foregoing Supplementary Section to the Federal Stock Charter of the Bank was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank.
