Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.
     The shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), covered by this registration statement will be issued by Dana Holding Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the emergence from bankruptcy protection on the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) of Dana Corporation (“Old Dana”) and its subsidiaries. The Plan was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on December 26, 2007.
     Pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock, designated Common Stock and preferred stock. The total number of shares of capital stock that the Company is authorized to issue is 500,000,000 shares, consisting of 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Of the 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, 2,500,000 shares will be designated as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and 5,400,000 shares will be designated as Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock, and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”).
Common Stock
     Holders of Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned by such holder on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company, except for the election of directors to be elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share equally and ratably in any assets remaining after the payment of all debt and liabilities, subject to the prior rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription or conversion rights. The Common Stock is not subject to redemption.
Preferred Stock
     Pursuant to the Plan as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, on the Effective Date, the Company will issue the Preferred Stock. The Company will issue $250 million in aggregate liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock to a private equity firm, in consideration for its investment in the Company pursuant to the Plan. The Company will also issue to certain qualified investors $540 million in aggregate liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock in consideration for their investment in the Company pursuant to the Plan.

 


Table of Contents

     The price at which each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock will be 83% of its distributable market equity value per share, which is the per share value of the Common Stock determined by calculating the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of such common stock on the principal exchange or over-the-counter market on which it trades (using the 22 trading days beginning on and including the first trading day after the Effective Date but disregarding the days with the highest and lowest volume-weighted average sale price during such period). If, as a result of such determination:
     (i) the holders of the Preferred Stock would own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, less than 32.0% of the Company’s issued shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Fully Diluted Shares”), necessary adjustments will be made such that the holders of Preferred Stock will own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, 32.0% of the Fully Diluted Shares; or
     (ii) the holders of the Preferred Stock would own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, more than 36.3% of the Fully Diluted Shares, necessary adjustments will be made such that the holders of Preferred Stock will own, on an as-converted, fully diluted basis, 36.3% of the Fully Diluted Shares.
     The percentages referred to in the preceding paragraph are subject to adjustment to the extent that the Company's net debt plus the value of its minority interests as of the Effective Date is an amount other than $525 million, as described in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
     Shares of Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference of not more than $125 million and the Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at any time at the option of the applicable holder after the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date. In addition, in the event that the per share closing sales price of the Common Stock exceeds 140% of the distributable market equity value per share (determined as described above) for at least 20 consecutive trading days beginning on or after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company will be able to cause the conversion of all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Stock. The price at which the Preferred Stock is convertible will be subject to adjustment in certain customary circumstances, including as a result of stock splits and combinations, dividends and distributions and certain issuances of common stock or common stock derivatives.
     The Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends at an annual rate of 4%, payable quarterly in cash. The shares will have equal voting rights and will vote together as a single class with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, except that the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote as a separate class to elect three directors as described in the following paragraph. For purposes of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Preferred Stock will rank senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, the terms of which are not expressly senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Stock.
     Beginning at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the Effective Date, and for as long as the initial holder of the Series A Preferred Stock owns at least $125 million of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company’s board of directors will be composed of nine members, as follows: (i) three directors (one of whom must be independent) designated by such initial holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) one independent director nominated by a special purpose nominating committee composed of two designees of the initial holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and one other board member pursuant to a stockholders agreement between the Company

Table of Contents

the initial holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) five directors nominated by the Company’s board. With the exception of the three directors elected by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining directors will be elected by holders of Common Stock and any other class of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (including the Preferred Stock), voting together as a single class at each meeting of stockholders held for the purpose of electing directors. Holders of Preferred Stock will also have the right to elect two directors in the event that six quarterly dividends on the Preferred Stock are accrued but unpaid, unless at such time the holders of Series A Preferred Stock continue to have the right to elect three directors pursuant to this paragraph.
      Additional Preferred Stock . The Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including the Preferred Stock described above. The Board is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each series voting rights, if any, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions as provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board.
     The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. Shares of preferred stock may also be reissued by the Company following redemption of such shares by the Company or conversion of such shares by the holder, as applicable.
Certain Anti-Takeover Effects
     Certain provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company. Such provisions, including those regulating the nomination of directors, limiting who may call special stockholders’ meetings and eliminating stockholder action by written consent, together with the terms of the Preferred Stock, may make it more difficult for other persons, without the approval of the Company’s board of directors, to make a tender offer or otherwise acquire substantial amounts of Common Stock or to launch other takeover attempts that a stockholder might consider to be in such stockholder’s best interest.
General
     The foregoing description of the Common Stock is a summary, does not purport to be complete or give a complete description of the applicable statutory or common law, and is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of law, and to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, which are incorporated herein by reference and filed as exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively.

Directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, and each Director will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such Director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier resignation, disqualification, removal or death.

     Section 2. Nomination of Director Candidates . Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of Directors must be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.
     Section 3. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies . Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors under circumstances specified in a Preferred Stock Designation, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from resignation, disqualification, removal, death or other cause will be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining Director. Any Director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office until such Director’s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until such Director’s earlier resignation, disqualification, removal or death. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board may shorten the term of any Director.
     Section 4. Removal . Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional Directors under circumstances specified in a Preferred Stock Designation, any Director may be removed from office by the stockholders with or without cause

5


 

and only in the manner provided in this Article VIII , Section 4 . At any annual meeting or special meeting of the stockholders, the notice of which states that the removal of a Director or Directors is among the purposes of the meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, may remove such Director or Directors.
     Section 5. Amendment, Repeal, Etc . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article VIII .
ARTICLE IX
     No Director will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article IX will not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director existing prior to such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE X
     Section 1. Right to Indemnification . Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “ Proceeding ”) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a Director or an officer of the Company, or such person, whether or not a Director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (an “ Indemnitee ”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided , however , that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article X with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
     Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses . The right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article X shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “ Advancement of Expenses ”); provided , however , that, if the DGCL so requires, an Advancement of Expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (an “ Undertaking ”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “ Final Adjudication ”) that such

6


 

Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article X shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
     Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit . If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article X is not paid in full by the Company within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 calendar days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit to the fullest extent permitted by law. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board, a Board committee, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board, a Board committee, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, under this Article X or otherwise shall be on the Company.
     Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights .

Exhibit A
DANA HOLDING CORPORATION
TERMS OF
4.0% SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND
4.0% SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
     The terms of the authorized 4.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Series A Preferred ”), and 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ Series B Preferred ”), of Dana Holding Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the State of Delaware (the “ Corporation ”), are as set forth below:
     1.  Designation . There is hereby created out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation two new series of Preferred Stock designated as the Series A Preferred and the Series B Preferred. The number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred will be 2,500,000, and the number of shares constituting the Series B Preferred will be 5,400,000.
     2.  Ranking . The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred will, with respect to payment of dividends and to distributions in the event of the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution (a “ Liquidation ”), rank (i) senior to all classes of Common Stock and to each other class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation established hereafter by the Board, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to, or on a parity with, the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred as to dividend rights and rights on a Liquidation (collectively referred to as “ Junior Stock ”), (ii) on a parity with each class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation established hereafter by the Board, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series will rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred as to dividend rights and rights on a Liquidation (collectively referred to as “ Parity Stock ”), and (iii) junior to each class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation established hereafter by the Board, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior to the Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred as to dividend rights and rights on a Liquidation (“ Senior Stock ”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred will rank on a parity with each other as to dividend rights and rights on a Liquidation.
     3.  Dividends . (a) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred are outstanding, the holders of such shares will be entitled to receive out of the Corporation’s assets legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board, preferential dividends at a rate per annum equal to 4.0% (the “ Dividend Rate ”) on the then-effective Liquidation Preference per share for such share hereunder, payable in cash. Subject to Section 5(f) , such dividends with respect to each share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, as applicable, will be fully cumulative and will begin to accrue from the Issue Date of such share, whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared by the Board and whether or not in any Dividend Period or Dividend Periods there are assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends.

 


 

     (b) Dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred will be payable quarterly in equal amounts (subject to Section 3(d) hereunder with respect to shorter periods, including the first such period with respect to newly issued shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred) in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, in preference to and in priority over dividends on any Junior Stock, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date of such share of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as applicable. Subject to Section 3(f) , such dividends will be paid to the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, as applicable, as they appear at the close of business on the applicable Dividend Record Date. The amount payable as dividends on such Dividend Payment Date will be payable in cash, unless such payment is prohibited under statutory law.
     (c) All dividends paid with respect to shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred pursuant to Section 3(a) will be paid pro rata to the holders thereof and will first be credited against the dividends accrued with respect to the earliest Dividend Period for which dividends have not been paid. Dividend payments will be aggregated per holder and will be made to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward).
     (d) The amount of dividends payable per share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred for each full Dividend Period will be computed by dividing the annual dividend amount for such share by four. The amount of dividends payable for the initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter or longer than a full Dividend Period, on a share of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as applicable, will be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. No interest will accrue or be payable in respect of unpaid dividends.
     (e) Any reference to “distribution” in this Section 3 will not be deemed to include any distribution made in connection with any Liquidation.
     (f) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in no event will a dividend payable under Section 3(a) be paid in respect of any share of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred that has been converted prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date pursuant to Section 5(b) or (c) if such dividend was included in the calculation of clause (i) of Section 5(b) or 5(c) , as applicable.
     4.  Liquidation Rights . (a) In the event of any Liquidation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus, earnings or otherwise, before any payment or declaration and setting apart for payment of any amount will be made in respect of any shares of Junior Stock, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Stock, if any, an amount with respect to each share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred outstanding equal to the then-effective Liquidation Preference per share for such shares, plus all declared or accrued and unpaid dividends in respect thereof to the date of final distribution. If upon any Liquidation, the assets to be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Parity Stock, if any, are insufficient to permit the payment to such stockholders of the full preferential amounts thereof, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed will be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Parity Stock, based on the full preferential amounts for the

2


 

number of shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Parity Stock held by each holder, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Stock, if any.
     (b) After payment to the holders of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred of the amounts set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, such holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of the Corporation’s assets and the entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, will be distributed among the holders of any Capital Stock entitled to a preference over the Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof and, thereafter, to the holders of Common Stock.
     (c) No funds are required to be set aside to protect the Liquidation Preference of the shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, although the applicable Liquidation Preference will be substantially in excess of the par value of the shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred.
     (d) For purposes of this Section 4 , neither a merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization or recapitalization of the Corporation with or into any entity, nor a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will be deemed a Liquidation.
     5.  Conversion . The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred are convertible into shares of Common Stock as follows:
     (a)  Conversion Price . The initial Conversion Price of each share of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred will be determined as set forth in the definition of “Conversion Price” in Section 13 and the defined terms used therein. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(h) .
     (b)  Optional Conversion Right . At any time after the six-month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, but subject to Section 8 , at the option of the holder thereof, any share of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred may be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock that is obtained by dividing (i) the then-effective Liquidation Preference plus all accrued but unpaid dividends under Section 3(a) for such share by (ii) the Conversion Price (as in effect on the Conversion Date).
     (c)  Mandatory Conversion . If the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock has exceeded an amount equal to 1.4 multiplied by the Distributable Market Equity Value Per Share (such product, rounded up to the nearest cent, and subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, reclassifications and similar actions, the “ Mandatory Conversion Trigger Price ”), for at least 20 consecutive Trading Days commencing from or after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, then the Corporation may, at its option at any time after any such 20 consecutive Trading Day period, cause all but not less than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred to convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock that is obtained by dividing (i) the then-effective Liquidation Preference of such shares plus any accrued but unpaid dividends under Section 3(a) for such shares by (ii) the Conversion Price (as in effect on the Conversion Date).

3


 

     (d)  Mechanics for Exercise of Conversion Rights . In order to exercise the optional conversion right provided for in Section 5(b) , the holder of each share of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred to be converted will (i) surrender the certificate representing such share, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, to the office of the Transfer Agent or (ii) deliver written notice to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed and execute an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates (the actions taken pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), a “ Surrender ”), accompanied, in either case, by written notice to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert all or a specified whole number of shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as applicable. Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as applicable, are registered, each share Surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder’s duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid). In the event the Corporation elects to exercise the mandatory conversion right provided for in Section 5(c) , the Corporation will provide written notice of such exercise to the Transfer Agent and each holder of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred specifying the date on which such conversion will be effective (the “ Mandatory Conversion Notice ”), which date must be no less than 90 days from the date on which such written notice is sent, and thereafter each holder of shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred will Surrender its shares to the Corporation.
     (e)  Delivery of Certificates and Conversion Date . As promptly as practicable, but in any event within five Business Days following the Conversion Date (in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 5(b) ) or within five Business Days following the date on which a holder of shares to be converted Surrenders such shares to the Corporation (in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 5(c) ), the Corporation will issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such holder’s applicable shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 , and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion will be settled as provided in Section 5(g) hereof. In the event of a conversion pursuant to Section 5(b) , upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred Surrendered for conversion, the Corporation will also issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the holder of the certificate so Surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as applicable, representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so Surrendered, which new certificate will entitle the holder thereof to the rights of the shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred represented thereby to the same extent as if the certificate theretofore covering such unconverted shares had not been Surrendered for conversion. Each conversion will be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which (i) in the case of an optional conversion pursuant to Section 5(b) , the certificates for Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred are Surrendered and such notice and payment of all required transfer taxes and dividends received by the Corporation as aforesaid, or (ii) in the case of a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 5(c) , the date specified in the Mandatory Conversion Notice (the “ Conversion Date ”). On the Conversion Date, all rights with

4


 

respect to the shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate except only the rights of holders thereof to receive the physical certificates contemplated by this Section 5(e) and cash in lieu of any fractional share as provided in Section 5(g) , and the Person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock will be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such shares (even if certificates for such shares of Common Stock have not yet been issued).
     (f) If conversion rights are exercised with respect to shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred under Section 5(b) or (c) , such shares will cease to accrue dividends pursuant to Section 3(a) as of the end of day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
     (g)  No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of such shares, the Corporation will pay to the holder of such shares an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. If more than one share is Surrendered for conversion pursuant to this Section 5 at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof will be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares so Surrendered.
     (h)  Conversion Price Adjustments . The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
          (i) Stock Splits and Combinations . If, after the Original Issue Date, the Corporation (A) subdivides or splits its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (B) combines or reclassifies its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (C) issues any Capital Stock of the Corporation by reclassification of its Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event will be adjusted so that the holder of any share of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred thereafter Surrendered for conversion will be entitled to receive the number of such securities that such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of any of the events described above as if such share had been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(h)(i) will become effective at the close of business on the effective date of such corporate action. Such adjustment will be made successively wherever any event listed above occurs.
          (ii) Dividends/Distributions of Common Stock . If, after the Original Issue Date, the Corporation fixes a record date for or pays a dividend or makes a distribution in shares of Common Stock on any class of Capital Stock of the Corporation, other than dividends or distributions of shares of Common Stock or other securities with respect to which adjustments are provided in Section 5(h)(i) , then the Conversion Price in effect at the close of business on the record date therefor will be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) such Conversion Price by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding at the close of business on the record date and the denominator of which will be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding at the close of

5


 

business on the record date and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(h)(ii) will become effective immediately after the close of business on such record date (except as provided in Section 5(h)(iv)(F) hereof). Such adjustment will be made successively wherever any event listed above occurs.
          (iii) Certain Issuances of Common Stock and Common Stock Derivatives . If, after the Original Issue Date, the Corporation issues or sells shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Derivative without consideration or at a consideration per share of Common Stock (or having a conversion, exercise or exchange price per share of Common Stock, in the case of a Common Stock Derivative), calculated by including the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation upon issuance and any additional consideration payable to the Corporation upon and in respect of any such conversion, exchange or exercise, that is less than the Conversion Price in effect at the close of business on the day immediately preceding such issuance, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Common Stock Derivatives, as applicable, will be deemed to have been issued as of such issuance and such Conversion Price will be decreased, effective as of the time of such issuance, to equal the price determined by multiplying (A) such Conversion Price by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (2) the number of shares which the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from such issuance (including any additional consideration per share of Common Stock payable to the Corporation upon any such conversion, exchange or exercise) would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which will be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (2) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or subject to issuance upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Common Stock Derivatives issued. In the event that any portion of such consideration is in a form other than cash, the Fair Market Value of such noncash consideration will be used. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, this Section 5(h)(iii) will not apply to any issuance of Common Stock in any manner described in Section 5(h)(i) and (ii) . Such adjustment will be made successively wherever any event listed above occurs.
          (iv) Additional Conversion Matters .
               (A)  Minor Adjustments and Calculations . No adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to any provision of this Section 5(h) will be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided , however , that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 5(h)(iv)(A) are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments until made. All calculations under this Section 5(h) will be made to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward).
               (B)  Exceptions to Adjustment Provisions . The provisions of this Section 5(h) will not be applicable to (1) any issuance for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is provided under any other subclause of this Section 5(h) , (2) any issuance of shares of Common Stock upon actual exercise, exchange or conversion of any Common Stock Derivative if the Conversion Price was fully and properly adjusted at the time such securities were issued or

6


 

if no such adjustment was required hereunder at the time such securities were issued, (3) the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred at a per share price equal to or greater than the applicable Liquidation Preference or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, (4) the issuance of Common Stock Derivatives or shares of Common Stock to employees, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries pursuant to management or director incentive plans or stock compensation plans as in effect on or prior to the Original Issue Date or approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board after the Original Issue Date, including any employment, severance or consulting agreements, or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Common Stock Derivative, (5) the issuance of shares of Common Stock as consideration for an arm’s-length acquisition of a business or assets from a Third Party or Third Parties that is approved by holders of a majority of the Voting Stock (on an as-converted basis) in accordance with the requirements under the Charter and the Corporation’s By-Laws and applicable law, or (6) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under such plan.
               (C)  Board Adjustment to Conversion Price . Anything in this Section 5(h) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation may, to the extent permitted by law, make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 5(h) , as the Board in its good faith discretion determines to be necessary in order that any subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of Common Stock Derivatives, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders will not be taxable. Whenever the Conversion Price is so decreased, the Corporation will mail to holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred a notice of the decrease at least 5 days before the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice will state the decreased Conversion Price and the period it will be in effect.
               (D)  Other Capital Stock . In the event that, at any time as a result of the provisions of this Section 5(h) , a holder of shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred becomes entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation other than Common Stock upon subsequent conversion, the number of such other shares so receivable upon conversion will thereafter be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions contained herein.
               (E)  Effect of Adjustment . In the event that, at any time after the Original Issue Date, any adjustment is made to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5 , such adjustment to the Conversion Price will be applicable with respect to all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred and all shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred issued after the date of the event causing such adjustment to the Conversion Price.
               (F)  Adjustment Deferral . In any case in which Section 5(h) provides that an adjustment becomes effective from and after a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (1) issuing to the holder of any shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred converted after such record date and before the occurrence of

7


 

such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (2) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 5(g) .
               (G)  Other Limits on Adjustment . There will be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in the event of the issuance of any shares of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction, except as specifically set forth in this Section 5 .
               (H)  Abandoned Events and Expired Common Stock Derivatives . If the Corporation takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter any adjustment in the Conversion Price granted by this Section 5(h) will, as and if necessary, be readjusted at the time of such abandonment to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made (taking proper account of all other conversion adjustments under this Section 5(h) ); provided , however , that such readjustment will not affect the Conversion Price of any shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred that have been converted prior to such abandonment. If any Common Stock Derivatives referred to in this Section 5(h) in respect of which an adjustment has been made expire unexercised in whole or in part after the same have been distributed or issued by the Corporation, the Conversion Price will be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired Common Stock Derivatives (taking proper account of all other conversion adjustments under this Section 5(h) ); provided, however , that such readjustment will not affect the Conversion Price of any shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred that have been converted prior to such expiration.
               (I)  Participation in Dividends . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made under Section 5(h)(ii) to the extent that the holders of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as applicable, participate in any such distribution on an as-converted basis based on the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares are then convertible.
               (J)  Pre-Conversion Price Determination Time Events . No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price for events occurring prior to the determination of the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 5(a) (the “ Conversion Price Determination Time ”), whether or not they would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(h) ; provided , however , that the Corporation will not take any actions that, but for this Section 5(h)(iv)(J) , would have resulted in an adjustment of the Conversion Price prior to the Conversion Price Determination Time pursuant to this Section 5(h) without the written consent of the Required Holders.
     (i)  Fundamental Changes . In the event that any transaction or event (including, without limitation, any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, tender or exchange offer, reclassification, compulsory share exchange or liquidation) occurs in which all or substantially

8


 

all of the outstanding Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for stock, other securities, cash or assets (each, a “ Fundamental Change ”), the holder of each share of Series A Preferred and each share of Series B Preferred outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change which remains outstanding thereafter, if any, will have the right upon any subsequent conversion to receive (but only out of legally available funds, to the extent required by applicable law) the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that such holder would have received if such share had been converted immediately prior thereto (assuming such holder failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change). Such adjustment will be made successively whenever any event listed above occurs. No adjustment will be made pursuant to Section 5(i) in respect of any Fundamental Change as to which an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made pursuant to Section 5(h) .
     (j) Notice of Certain Events . If, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 hereof:
          (i) the Corporation declares (A) any dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or (B) any extraordinary dividend or distribution on any Junior Stock (excluding any regularly scheduled dividends paid in accordance with the terms thereof);
          (ii) there is any recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than an event to which Section 5(h) hereof applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or a share exchange or self-tender offer by the Corporation for all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Stock or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or any compulsory share exchange affecting the Common Stock; or
          (iii) there occurs a Liquidation;
then the Corporation will cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and will cause to be mailed to the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred at the addresses of such holders as shown on the stock books of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, but at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified and no later than when notice is first mailed or sent to the holders of Common Stock, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or grant, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or grant are to be determined or (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, self-tender offer, sale, transfer or Liquidation is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, self-tender offer, sale, transfer or Liquidation. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein will not affect the legality of validity of the proceedings described in this Section 5 .

9


 

     (k)  Sufficient Shares of Common Stock . The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred not theretofore converted. For purposes of this Section 5(k) , the number of shares of Common Stock that are deliverable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares will be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.
     (l)  Compliance with Laws . Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation is obligated to deliver upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, the Corporation will use its best efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
     (m)  Officer’s Certificate . As promptly as practicable following the Conversion Price Determination Time, the Corporation will promptly file with the Transfer Agent, and cause to be delivered to each holder of Series A Preferred and each holder of Series B Preferred, a certificate signed by the principal financial or accounting officer of the Corporation, setting forth the determination of the initial Conversion Price, the Distributable Market Equity Value Per Share and the Mandatory Conversion Trigger Price. Thereafter whenever the applicable Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5 , the Corporation will promptly file with the Transfer Agent, and cause to be delivered to each holder of Series A Preferred and each holder of Series B Preferred, a certificate signed by the principal financial or accounting officer of the Corporation, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis of the determination of the Current Market Price and/or Fair Market Value, as applicable) and specifying the new applicable Conversion Price. In the event of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 5(i) , such a certificate will be issued describing the amount and kind of stock, securities, property or assets or cash receivable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred after giving effect to the provisions of such Section 5(i) .
     (n)  Errors . The Board will have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in Section 5 , and its action in doing so will be final and binding and conclusive.
     (o)  No Increase . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Price will in no event be increased pursuant to Section 5(h)(iii) .

STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS
     1.  Time and Place of Meetings . All meetings of stockholders will be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) from time to time or, in the absence of a designation by the Board, the Chairman of the Board (the “ Chairman ”), the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary, and stated in the notice of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place, but may instead be held by means of remote communications, subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt from time to time. The Board may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders.
     2.  Annual Meetings . At each annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders will elect directors of the Company (“ Directors ”) by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors and will transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with Bylaw 8 .
     3.  Special Meetings . A special meeting of stockholders may be called only by (i) the Chairman, (ii) the President, or (iii) the Secretary within ten calendar days after receipt by the Chairman and the Secretary of the written request of (A) a majority of the Directors then in office or (B) the holders of at least 20% of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, in each case to transact only such business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with Bylaw 8(d) and specified in the notice of the meeting. For the purposes of these Bylaws, “ Voting Stock ” means capital stock of the Company of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors. Special meetings of holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock, if any, may be called in the manner and for the purposes provided in the applicable Preferred Stock Designation.
     4.  Notice of Meetings . Notice of every meeting of stockholders, stating the place, if any, date and time thereof, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, will be given, in a form permitted by Bylaw 26 or by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “ DGCL ”), not less than ten nor more than 60 calendar days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided by law. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date, or time, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided , however , that if the adjournment is for more than 30 calendar days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting must be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which properly could have been transacted at the original meeting.

 


 

     5.  Inspectors . If required by law, the Board will, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer of the meeting will appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. The inspector(s) shall have such powers and duties as provided in Section 231 of the DGCL, or any successor provision.
     6.  Quorum . Except as otherwise provided by law or in a Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business thereat. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power thereof, will have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.
     7.  Voting; Proxies . Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”), or in a Preferred Stock Designation, each stockholder will be entitled at every meeting of the stockholders to one vote for each share of stock having voting power standing in the name of such stockholder on the books of the Company on the record date for the meeting and such votes may be cast either in person or by proxy. Every proxy must be authorized in a manner permitted by Section 212 of the DGCL, or any successor provision. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders in all matters other than the election of Directors, or as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation, a Preferred Stock Designation, the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Company’s securities may be listed, quoted or traded, or by law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Company’s securities.
     8.  Order of Business . (a) The Chairman, or such other officer of the Company designated from time to time by a majority of the total number of Directors that the Company would have if there were no vacancies on the Board (the “ Whole Board ”), will call meetings of stockholders to order and will act as presiding officer thereof and may adjourn any meeting of stockholders from time to time. Unless otherwise determined by the Board prior to the meeting, the presiding officer of the meeting of stockholders will also determine the order of business and have the authority in his or her sole discretion to determine the rules of procedure and regulate the conduct of any such meeting, including, without limitation, by imposing restrictions on the persons (other than stockholders of the Company or their duly appointed proxy holders) that may attend any such stockholders’ meeting, by ascertaining whether any stockholder or his or her proxy holder may be excluded from any meeting of stockholders based upon any determination by the presiding officer, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has disrupted or is likely to disrupt the proceedings thereat, by determining the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions at any meeting of stockholders, by ruling on all procedural questions that may arise during or in connection with the meeting, by determining

2


 

whether any nomination or business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been properly brought before the meeting.
     (b) At an annual meeting of stockholders, only such business will be transacted or considered as is properly brought before the annual meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given in accordance with Bylaw 4 , (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by the presiding officer or by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board, or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder of the Company in accordance with Bylaw 8(c) .

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 90 nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided , however , that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 calendar days prior to or delayed by more than 30 calendar days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if the annual meeting is the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th calendar day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth calendar day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event will the public disclosure of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (A) a description in reasonable detail of the business desired to brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), and the reasons for transacting such business at the annual meeting, (B) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner(s), if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (C) the class and series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by the stockholder proposing such business and by the beneficial owner(s), if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings among such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder or

3


 

beneficial owner in such business, (E) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner(s) intend to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of shares of the Company entitled to vote required to approve the proposal (an affirmative statement of such intent, a “ Proposal Solicitation Notice ”), and (F) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the annual meeting. For purposes of this Bylaw 8(c) and Bylaw 15 , “public disclosure” means disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or other national news service or in a document filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or furnished by the Company to stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw 8(c) , in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for a meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must provide notice as required by, and otherwise comply with, all of the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “ Exchange Act ”). Nothing in this Bylaw 8(c) will be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. The foregoing notice requirements of this Bylaw 8(c) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Company of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for such annual meeting.
     (d) At a special meeting of stockholders, only such business may be transacted or considered as is properly brought before the special meeting. To be properly brought before a special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given in accordance with Bylaw 4 or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the presiding officer or by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board.
     (e) The determination of whether any business sought to be brought before any annual or special meeting of the stockholders is properly brought before such meeting in accordance with this Bylaw 8 will be made by the presiding officer of such meeting. If the presiding officer determines that any business is not properly brought before such meeting, he or she will so declare to the meeting and any such business will not be transacted or considered. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company. For purposes of this Bylaw 8(e) , to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders will be at the close of business on the calendar day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the calendar day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders will apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided , however , that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
     (b) In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by the DGCL, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Company having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Company’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by the DGCL, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
     (c) In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 calendar days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose will be at the close of business on the calendar day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
     (d) The Company will be entitled to treat the person in whose name any share of its stock is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person, whether or not the Company has notice thereof, except as expressly provided by applicable law.

At the request of the Board, any person nominated by the Board for election as a Director must furnish to the Secretary that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to the nominee. The presiding officer of any annual meeting will, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by this Bylaw 15 , and if he or she should so determine, he or she will so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw 15 , a stockholder must also provide notice as required by, and otherwise comply with, all of the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw 15 . Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to present a nomination, such nomination shall not be voted on, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may

7


 

have been received by the Company. For purposes of this Bylaw 15(c) , to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Bylaw 15 shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of stockholders to request inclusion of nominations in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act or (b) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any Preferred Stock Designation.
     16.  Resignation . Any Director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman or the Secretary. Any resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered to the Company unless the resignation specified a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events.
     17.  Regular Meetings . Regular meetings of the Board may be held immediately after the annual meeting of the stockholders and at such other time and place either within or without the State of Delaware as may from time to time be determined by the Board. Notice of regular meetings of the Board need not be given.
     18.  Special Meetings . Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman or the President on one day’s notice to each Director by whom such notice is not waived, given in a form permitted by Bylaw 26 or by the DGCL, and will be called by the Chairman or the President, in like manner and on like notice, on the written request of a majority of at least two (2) Directors.

Except for action to be taken by committees of the Board as provided in Bylaw 23 , and except for actions required by these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation to be taken by a majority of the Whole Board, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors, by the vote of a majority of the Directors present at such meeting, may adjourn the meeting from time to time to another place, time, or date, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

     21.  Board Action Without Meeting . Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or any committee designated by the Board may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board, or in these Bylaws, will have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee will have the power or authority in reference to the following matters: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of Directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval or (ii) making, adopting, amending or repealing any provision of these Bylaws.
     (b) Beginning with the first meeting of stockholders to elect directors following the date these Bylaws are first adopted and for as long as Article III of the Shareholders Agreement in the form attached to the First Amendment to Investment Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2007, to be executed by and among the Company, Centerbridge Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Centerbridge Capital Partners Strategic, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Centerbridge Capital Partners SBS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, is in effect, there will be a Series A Nominating Committee, which will be entitled to nominate one director for election by holders of Voting Stock pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) of the Certificate (a “Series A Nominee”); provided , however , that, in order for such nomination to be effective, such nomination by the Series A Nominating Committee must be made unanimously. To the extent the members of the Series A Nominating Committee are unable to unanimously agree on the identity of a Series A Nominee on or before the latest time at which the Company can reasonably meet its obligations with respect to printing and mailing a proxy statement for an annual meeting of Company shareholders, the Board will designate a Committee of all of the Independent Directors as defined in the Shareholders Agreement, which Committee will, by a majority vote, select an individual to be nominated for

9


 

such Board seat. Each Series A Nominee must, at all times during his or her service on the Board, be qualified to serve as a director of the Company under any applicable law, rule or regulation imposing or creating standards or eligibility criteria for individuals serving as directors of organizations such as the Company. If at any time, an individual Series A Nominee is not so qualified, such Series A Nominee will be replaced pursuant to this Bylaw 23(b).
     (c) Each elected Series A Nominee will serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or death. If any Series A Nominee ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason, the Company will promptly use its best efforts to cause a person designated by the Series A Nominating Committee to replace such director.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, these Bylaws, or the Certificate of Incorporation, whenever by law or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any Director or stockholder, it will not be construed to require personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, by mail or courier service or, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, by electronic transmission, addressed to such Director or stockholder. Any notice sent to stockholders by mail or courier service shall be sent to the address of such stockholder as it appears on the records of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice will be deemed to be given at the time when the same is deposited in the United States mail or with the courier service. Notices sent by electronic transmission shall be deemed effective as set forth in Section 222 of the DGCL. For purposes of this Bylaw 26 , “ electronic transmission ” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
