The term “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation of which shares of stock possessing at least a majority of the general voting power in electing the board of directors are, at the time as of which any determination is being made, owned by the Corporation, whether directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries.

2. Dividends.

(a) Subject to the prior preferences and other rights of any Senior Stock, the holders of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available for that purpose, cash dividends at the rate of 1% of the net profit from operations, per annum, and no more. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date and shall be payable in arrears, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (each such date being herein referred to as a “Dividend Payment Date”). The quarterly period between consecutive Dividend Payment Dates shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Dividend Period.” Each such dividend shall be paid to the holders of record of the Series “B” Preferred Stock as their names appear on the share register of the Corporation on the corresponding Record Date. Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding 50 days preceding date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

(b) In the event that full cash dividends are not paid or made available to the holders of all outstanding shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock, and funds available shall be insufficient to permit payment in full in cash to all such holders of the preferential amounts to which they are then entitled, the entire amount available for payment of cash dividends shall be distributed among the holders of the Series “B” Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock ratably in proportion to the full amount to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled, and any remainder not paid in cash to the holders of the Series “B” Preferred Stock shall cumulate as provided in subparagraph 2(c) below.

(c) If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the holders of the Series “B” Preferred Stock shall not have received the full dividends provided for in the other provisions of this paragraph 2, then such dividends shall cumulate, whether or not earned or declared, with additional dividends thereon for each succeeding full Dividend Period during which such dividends shall remain unpaid. Unpaid dividends for any period less than a full Dividend Period shall cumulate on a day-to-day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year.

(d) So long as any shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the Corporation shall not declare or pay on any Junior Stock any dividend whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise (other than dividends payable in shares of the class or series upon which such dividends are declared or paid, or payable in shares of Common Stock with respect to Junior Stock other than Common Stock, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares), nor shall the Corporation make any distribution on any Junior

 

3


Stock, nor shall any Junior Stock be purchased or redeemed by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, nor shall any monies be paid or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any Junior Stock, unless all dividends to which the holders of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall have been entitled for all previous Dividend Periods shall have been paid or declared and a sum of money sufficient for the payment thereof set apart.

3. Distributions Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, subject to the prior preferences and other rights of any Senior Stock, but before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of the Series “B” Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid the liquidation price, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to such date, and no more, in cash or in property taken at its fair value as determined by the Board of Directors. If such payment shall have been made in full to the holders of the Series “B” Preferred Stock, and if payment shall have been made in full to the holders of any Senior Stock and Parity Stock of all amounts to which such holders shall be entitled, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of Junior Stock, according to their respective shares and priorities. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation distributed among the holders of all outstanding shares of the Series “B” Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to such holders of the preferential amounts to which they are entitled, then the entire net assets of the Corporation remaining after the distribution to holders of any Senior Stock of the full amounts to which they may be entitled shall be distributed among the holders of the Series “B” Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation into or with another corporation or corporations, nor the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Corporation to another corporation or corporations shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this paragraph 3.

4. Redemption by the Corporation.

(a) The Company shall not have the right to redeem the Series “B” Preferred Stock.

5. Conversion Rights. The Series “B” Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock as follows:

(a) Optional Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 5, the holder of any shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall have the right at such holders’ option, at any time or from time to time after the date of issuance, to convert any of such shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the terms hereinafter set forth.

 

4


(b) Conversion Price. Each share of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall be converted into Common Stock at a ratio of fifty (50) shares of Common Stock for one share of Series “B” Preferred Stock, adjusted automatically for stock splits without the requirement of further action of the Board of Directors.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. The holder of any shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock may exercise the conversion right specified in subparagraph 5(a) by surrendering to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, accompanied by written notice specifying the number of shares to be converted. Upon the occurrence of the event specified in subparagraph 5(a), the outstanding shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue to any such holder certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless certificates evidencing the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when delivery of notice of an election to convert and certificates for shares is made or on the date of the occurrence of the event specified in subparagraph 5(a), as the case may be, and such date is referred to herein as the “Conversion Date.” As promptly as practicable thereafter [and after surrender of the certificate or certificates representing shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation in the case of conversions pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)] the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and a check or cash with respect to any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in subparagraph 5(e). The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion [in the case of conversion pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)], the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the certificate so surrender for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.

(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Series “B” Preferred Stock, shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the fair

 

5


value, as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.

(e) Treasury Stock. For the purposes of this paragraph 5, the sale or other disposition of any Common Stock theretofore held in the Corporation’s treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.

(f) Costs. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock in respect of which such shares are being issued.

(g) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall reserve at all times so long as any shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock remain outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury stock (if applicable) or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock.

(h) Approvals. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Corporation will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. If, and so long as, any Common Stock into which the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock are then convertible is listed on any national securities exchange, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

(i) Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the Corporation be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and the Corporation shall take no action which will cause a contrary result.

(j) Registration Rights. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the conversion of the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall have “piggy-back registration rights” with any registration that the Corporation undertakes.

6. Voting Rights. The holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to twelve (12)votes for each share of Series “B” Preferred Stock.

 

6


7. Exclusion of Other Rights. Except as may otherwise be required by law, the shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall not have any preferences or relative, participating, optional or special rights, other than those specifically set forth in this resolution (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) and in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. The shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock shall have no preemptive or subscription rights.

8. Headings of Subdivisions. The heading of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

9. Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of the Series “B” Preferred Stock set forth in this resolution (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution (as so amended) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

10. Status of Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock which have been issued and reacquired in any manner shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of California) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock issuable in series undesignated as to series and may be redesignated and reissued.
