TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 30, 2009, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (Flagstar) consummated the closing (the Closing) of
its previously announced transaction with MP Thrift Investments L.P. (MatlinPatterson), an entity
formed by MP (Thrift) Global Partners III LLC, an affiliate of MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC,
under the Investment Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2008 (the Investment Agreement), which
was described in Flagstars Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC)
on December 18, 2008 (the Prior Form 8-K), pursuant to which MatlinPatterson purchased 250,000
shares of a newly authorized series of Flagstars convertible participating voting preferred stock,
designated as Convertible Participating Voting Preferred Stock, Series B (the Preferred Stock).
The applicable terms and preferences attached to the Preferred Stock are more fully described in
Item 1.01 of the Prior Form 8-K, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Certificate of Designations attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
Subscription Agreements/Registration Rights Agreements
As a condition to closing the transaction under the Investment Agreement, Flagstar was required to
issue and sell a minimum number of shares of its common stock to directors and members of
management (the Management Investors). On January 30, 2009, Flagstar entered into Subscription
Agreements with the Management Investors (the Subscription Agreements), pursuant to which the
Management Investors purchased, in the aggregate, 6,650,000 shares of common stock at a purchase
price of $0.80 per share. This summary of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the form of Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Further, on January 30, 2009, Flagstar entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the
Management Investors (the Registration Rights Agreements), pursuant to which Flagstar granted
certain piggyback registration rights to the Management Investors. Flagstar entered into the
Registration Rights Agreements in order to induce the Management Investors to enter into the
Subscription Agreements, and, in general, Flagstar will register the Management Investors common
stock on any registration statement that includes the securities purchased by MatlinPatterson.
This summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
form of Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
Closing Agreement
On January 30, 3009, as part of the Closing, Flagstar entered into a Closing Agreement with
MatlinPatterson (the Closing Agreement), pursuant to which Flagstar agreed to issue and sell
subject to certain conditions (i) an additional $50 million of convertible preferred stock
substantially in the form of the Preferred Stock, in two equal parts, on substantially the same
terms as the previously announced $250 million investment by MatlinPatterson (the Additional
Preferred Stock) and (ii) $50 million of trust preferred securities with a 10% coupon to
MatlinPatterson (the Trust Preferred Securities). The Closing Agreement also amended the
Investment Agreement and waived certain conditions included therein.
The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights
of the Additional Preferred Stock, if issued, will be set forth in a certificate of designations to
be filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth prior to the closing of the
additional investment. The Additional Preferred Stock will be automatically convertible into
shares of common stock upon the approval of Flagstars stockholders to increase the number of
authorized shares of Flagstars common stock. The Additional Preferred Stock will automatically
convert into 62,500,000 shares of the Flagstars common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per
share of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Dividends on the Additional
Preferred Stock will be payable, on a non-cumulative basis, as and if declared by Flagstars board
of directors to holders of Flagstars common stock, in cash, on an as-converted basis. The
Additional Preferred Stock will not be redeemable by Flagstar or by the holders. Subject to New
York Stock Exchange Rules, the holders of Additional Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote upon
all matters which holders of Flagstars common stock are entitled to vote, and each share of
Additional Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis. So long as the
Additional Preferred Stock is outstanding, then the vote or consent of the holders of the
Additional Preferred Stock would be required for certain matters.
The Trust Preferred Securities, if issued, will be convertible into common stock of Flagstar at
MatlinPattersons option on April 1, 2010, at a conversion price equal to the volume-weighted
average price of the common stock from February 1, 2009 through April 1, 2010. If MatlinPatterson
does not convert the Trust Preferred Securities at that time, they will remain outstanding
perpetually unless redeemed by Flagstar at any time after January 30, 2011.
This summary of the Closing Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Closing
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On January 30, 2009, Flagstar issued and sold 6,650,000 shares of its common stock to the
Management Investors at a purchase price of $0.80 per share of common stock. In the aggregate,
Flagstar received $5,320,000 in consideration for the common stock. The common stock was offered
and sold to individual accredited investors in an offering exempt from the Securities Act
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
Upon consummation of the transactions under the Closing Agreement described in Item 1.01, for
aggregate consideration of $100 million, the Company will issue and sell (i) 50,000 shares of
convertible preferred stock at a purchase price and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and
(ii) trust preferred securities in the aggregate amount of $50 million. The convertible preferred
stock and trust preferred securities will be offered and sold to an institutional investor in an
offering exempt from the Securities Act registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933
pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. Upon receipt of stockholder approval, the shares of convertible
preferred stock will automatically convert into 62,500,000 shares of Flagstars common stock at an
conversion price of $0.80 per share of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments. Subject to receipt of stockholder approval, the trust preferred securities will be
convertible into common stock at the option of MatlinPatterson on April 1, 2010 at a conversion
price equal to 90% of the volume-weighted average price per share of common stock during the period
from February 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010, subject to a minimum price per share of $0.80 and a maximum
of $2.00.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
As part of the offering to MatlinPatterson announced on December 17, 2008, Flagstar issued 250,000
shares of the Preferred Stock, the terms of which are more fully described in the Certificate of
Designations of Convertible Participating Voting Preferred Stock, Series B of Flagstar (the
Certificate of Designations) filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth
setting forth the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights of the Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock and the Additional
Preferred Stock, if issued, have preferential dividend and liquidation rights over the holders of
common stock and vote together with the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. The
applicable terms and preferences attached to the Preferred Stock are more fully described in Item
1.01 of the Companys Current Report of Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on December 18, 2008, and are contained in the Certificate of Designations. This summary is

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant
The information provided in Item 1.01 and Item 5.02 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

between Flagstar and MatlinPatterson, Flagstar issued and sold 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock to
MatlinPatterson for $250 million. The 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock represent approximately
70% of the issued and outstanding voting power in Flagstar immediately following the Closing. The
funding for this transaction came primarily from investors who were investors in existing funds
managed by MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, namely, MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities
Partners III L.P. and MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners (Cayman) III L.P. At the
Closing, and in accordance with the Investment Agreement, Kirstin Hammond, Robert Rondeau, Richard
Elsea, Charles Bazzy and Frank DAngelo each resigned as directors of Flagstar, and David J.
Matlin, Mark Patterson, and Gregory Eng, each a director designated by MatlinPatterson, were
appointed to the Board.
Upon Closing, Flagstar is considered a controlled company, as defined in Section 303A of the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Listed Company Manual, based on MatlinPattersons beneficial ownership
of approximately 70% of the outstanding voting stock of Flagstar. As a controlled company,
Flagstar is exempt from certain requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, including the
requirement to maintain a majority of independent directors and requirements related to the
compensation committee and nominating/corporate governance committee.

(e) Dividends payable pursuant to Section 4(b) are non-cumulative. If the Board of
Directors does not declare a dividend pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of any dividend
period, the Holders will have no right to receive any dividend for such dividend period, and
the Corporation will have no obligation to pay a dividend for such dividend period, whether
or not dividends are declared and paid for any future dividend period with respect to the
Series B Preferred Stock or any other class or series of the Corporations preferred stock
or Common Stock.
Section 5.
Liquidation
.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of full and fractional shares of
Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made on any
date to the holders of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior
to Series B Preferred Stock upon liquidation, to receive in full an amount per share equal
to the greater of (the
liquidation preference
) (i) $0.01 plus an amount equal to any
dividends that have been declared on Series B Preferred Stock but not paid and (ii) the
amount that a holder of one share of Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive
if such share were converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, together with any declared but unpaid dividend prior to such
distribution or payment date, and, for the purpose of such calculation, shares of Common
Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation on such date.
If such payment has been made in full to all Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as such will have no right or claim to any
of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
(b) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, are insufficient to pay in full all amounts
to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5(a), no such distribution will be
made on account of any shares of any other class or Series of Preferred Stock ranking on a
parity with the shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts are paid on account of the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which
holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up.
5
(c) Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders all amounts to
which such holders are entitled pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5 before any
payment is made to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking
junior upon liquidation to Series B Preferred Stock.
(d) For the purposes of this Section 5, the consolidation or merger of, or binding shares exchange by, the Corporation with any other corporation will not be deemed to
constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, provided, however,
that a Fundamental Change shall be deemed to constitute such a liquidation.
Section 6.
Maturity
. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless converted
in accordance with this Certificate of Designations.
Section 7.
No Redemption
. The Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable either
at the Corporations option or at the option of Holders at any time.
Section 8.
Conversion
.
(a)
Mandatory Conversion
. Effective as of the receipt of all Stockholder
Approvals (the
Mandatory Conversion Date
), all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
automatically convert into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 8(b) hereof (the
Mandatory Conversion
).
(b)
Number of Shares Upon Conversion
. The number of shares of Common Stock into
which a share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be determined by
dividing $1,000 by the Applicable Conversion Price (subject to the conversion procedures of
Section 9 hereof) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 13
hereof.
Section 9.
Conversion Procedures
.
(a) As promptly as practicable following the Mandatory Conversion, each Holder shall
provide the Corporation with a notice (the
Notice of Conversion
). In addition to any
information required by applicable law or regulation, the Notice of Conversion with respect
to such Holder shall state, as appropriate:
(1) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
each share of Series B Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder and
subject to the Mandatory Conversion;
(2) The name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock should be registered; and
(3) The manner in which certificates of Series B Preferred Stock held of
record by such Holder are to be surrendered for issuance of certificates
representing shares of Common Stock.
6
(b) Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion
Date, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock, dividends shall no longer be
declared on any such converted share of Series B Preferred Stock and such share of Series B
Preferred Stock shall only represent such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof and shall cease to be outstanding, subject to the right of the Holder to
receive any declared and unpaid dividends on such share to the extent provided in Section 4
and any other payments to which such Holders is otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 8,
Section 11 and Section 13 hereof, as applicable.
(c) No allowance or adjustment, except pursuant to Section 10, shall be made in respect
of dividends payable to holders of the Common Stock of record as of any date prior to the
close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with respect to any share of Series B
Preferred Stock. Prior to the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with
respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof, or other securities issuable upon conversion of such share of Series B
Preferred Stock, shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and the Holder thereof
shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon
conversion (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock
or other securities issuable upon conversion and rights to receive any dividends or
distributions on the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion) by virtue of
holding such share of Series B Preferred Stock.
(d) Shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of
Designations will resume the status of authorized and unissued preferred stock, undesignated
as to series and available for future issuance.
(e) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and/or cash, securities
or other property issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or securities as of
the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with respect thereto. In the event
that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock
and/or cash, securities or other property (including payments of cash in lieu of fractional
shares) to be issued or paid upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock should be
registered or paid or the manner in which such shares should be delivered, the Corporation
shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of
the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Corporation or pursuant to
applicable law.
(f) No later than three (3) Business Days following delivery of the Notice of
Conversion, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock as to which the Mandatory

7
Section 10.
Anti-Dilution Adjustments
.
(a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments.
(1)
Stock Dividends and Distributions
. If the Corporation pays dividends or
other distributions on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, then the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such
dividend or distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction:
OS
0
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.
OS
1
= the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the
total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or
distribution.
For the purposes of this clause (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at
the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Corporation.
If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (1) is declared but
not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as
of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to
make such dividend or distribution, to such Conversion Price that would be
in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(2)
Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of the Common Stock
. If the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries subdivides, splits or combines the
shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination
will be multiplied by the following fraction:
OS
0
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or
combination.
OS
1
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such share
subdivision, split or combination.
8
For the purposes of this clause (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at
the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Corporation.
If any subdivision, split or combination described in this clause (2) is
announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided,
split or combined, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to
subdivide, split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to such
Conversion Price that would be in effect if such subdivision, split or
combination had not been announced.
(3)
Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights
. If the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries issues to all holders of the shares of Common Stock (and does
not make the equivalent issuance to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock)
rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a
dividend reinvestment plan or share purchase plan or other similar plans)
entitling them, for a period of up to 180 days (or any shorter period) from
the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price on the
date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
the Ex-Date for such distribution will be multiplied by the following
fraction:
OS
0
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution.
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such
rights or warrants.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price
payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the Current Market
Price.
For the purposes of this clause (3), the number of shares of Common Stock at
the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Corporation.
The Corporation shall not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of
shares of the Common Stock acquired by the Corporation. In the event that
such rights or warrants described in this clause (3) are not so issued, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of
Directors publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights or
warrants, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such
issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights or warrants
are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are
otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the
exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be
readjusted to
9
such Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment made
upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the
delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In
determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Common
Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such
rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash,
to be determined by the Board of Directors).
(4)
Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers
. If the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries successfully completes a tender or exchange offer for the
Common Stock (and does not make the equivalent offer to the Holders of
Series B Preferred Stock) where the cash and the value of any other
consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds
the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, then
the Conversion Price in effect at the close of business on such immediately
succeeding Trading Day will be multiplied by the following fraction:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OS
0
x SP
0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AC + (SP
0
x OS
1
)
|
|
|
SP
0
= the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading
Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer.
OS
0
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the expiration of the tender or exchange offer,
including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn.
OS
1
= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after the expiration of the tender or exchange offer and after taking into
account the shares purchased pursuant thereto.
AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration
payable in the tender or exchange offer, as determined by the Board of
Directors.
In the event that the Corporation, or one of its subsidiaries, is obligated
to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or
exchange offer, but the Corporation, or such subsidiary, is permanently
prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such
purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be
such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender offer or
exchange offer had not been made.
(5)
Rights Plans
. To the extent that the Corporation has a rights plan in
effect with respect to the Common Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date,
upon conversion of any shares of the
10
Series B Preferred Stock, Holders will receive, in addition to the shares of
Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to the
Mandatory Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the shares of
Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the
time of separation as if the Corporation had made a distribution to all
holders of the Common Stock as described in clause (3) above, subject to
readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of
such rights.
(b) All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10 of
a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be
less than $0.01; provided, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment; provided further that on the Mandatory Conversion Date, adjustments to the
Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which
has not been taken into account before such date. When any adjustment is to be made in
respect of a distribution of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock,
such adjustment shall also be made for any securities convertible, exchangeable or
exerciseable for shares of Common Stock.
(c) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made if Holders may participate in
the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment, as a result of holding the
Series B Preferred Stock (including without limitation pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof),
without having to convert the Series B Preferred Stock, as if they held the full number of
shares of Common Stock into which a share of the Series B Preferred Stock may then be
converted.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Applicable Conversion Price shall
not be adjusted:
(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present
or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest
payable on the Corporations securities and the investment of additional
optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to
purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director
or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries;
(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option,
warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security
outstanding as of the date shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were first
issued and not substantially amended thereafter;
(4) for a change in the par value or no par value of Common Stock; or
(5) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.
11
(e) Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 10(a),
the Corporation shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a),
taking into account the threshold set forth in Section 10(b); (ii) as soon as practicable
following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price
pursuant to Section 10(a) taking into account the threshold set forth in Section 10(b) (or
if the Corporation is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so
aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence
of such event; and (iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised
Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a), provide, or cause to be provided, a
written notice to the Holders setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the
adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion
Price.
Section 11.
Reorganization Events
.
(a) In the event of:
(1) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person,
or other similar transaction, in each case pursuant to which the Common
Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the
Corporation or another Person;
(2) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, in each
case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash,
securities or other property of the Corporation or another Person;
(3) any reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including
securities other than the Common Stock;
(any such event specified in this Section 11(a), a
Reorganization Event
);
each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
Reorganization Event shall remain outstanding but shall become convertible
into the kind of securities, cash and other property receivable in such
Reorganization Event by the holder (excluding the counterparty to the
Reorganization Event or an affiliate of such counterparty) of that number of
shares of Common Stock into which the share of Series B Preferred Stock
would then be convertible (and for the purpose of such calculation, shares
of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the
Certificate of Incorporation on such date) (such securities, cash and other
property, the
Exchange Property
).
12
(b) In the event that holders of the shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to
elect the form of consideration to be received in the Reorganization Event, the
consideration that the Holders are entitled to receive shall be deemed to be the types and
amounts of consideration received by the majority of the holders of the shares of Common
Stock that affirmatively make an election. The amount of Exchange Property receivable upon
conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 8 shall be determined
based upon the Conversion Price in effect on the date of consummation of the Reorganization
Event.
(c) The above provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive
Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 10 shall apply to any shares of capital
stock of the Corporation (or any successor) received by the holders of the Common Stock in
any such Reorganization Event.
(d) The Corporation (or any successor) shall, within twenty (20) days of the occurrence
of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of
such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that
constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the
operation of this Section 11.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11 or otherwise in this
Certificate of Designations, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a
transaction constituting a Fundamental Change unless such agreement (i) entitles Holders to
receive, on an as-converted basis, the securities, cash and other property receivable in
such transaction by a holder of shares of Common Stock that was not the counterparty to such
transaction or an affiliate of such other party as described in Section 11(a), (ii) provides
that each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted into the number of shares of
Common Stock as provided in Section 8(b), or (iii) provides that (1) the Series B Preferred
Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect
to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, is converted into or
exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate
parent, that is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and (2) such Series B Preferred
Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such
rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially
less favorable to the Holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting
powers of the Series B Preferred Stock, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing herein shall prohibit the Corporation from entering into or consummating a
transaction constituting a Fundamental Change provided that the Series B Preferred Stock is
treated as set forth in the preceding sentence.
Section 12.
Voting Rights
.
(a) The Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote together with the Holders of
Common Stock on all matters upon which the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such number of votes as the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible at the time of the record date for any such vote, and for the purpose of such
calculation, shares of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of
Series
13
B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate
of Incorporation on such date and shall be included in such calculation.
(b) So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the vote or
consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time
outstanding, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing
without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for
effecting or validating any of the following actions, whether or not such approval is
required by Michigan law:
(1) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designations, or the Corporations
bylaws (whether by merger, consolidation, business combination or otherwise)
that would alter or change the voting powers, preferences or special rights
of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely; or
(2) the consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification
involving the Common Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation
with another entity, except that Holders will have no separate right to vote
under this provision or under Section 450.1773 of the Michigan Business
Corporation Act or otherwise under Michigan law if (x) the Corporation shall
have complied with Section 11(e), (y) the transaction shall be a
Reorganization Event in which each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall
be convertible into the Exchange Property, or (z) (1) the Series B Preferred
Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or
consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or
resulting entity, is converted into or exchanged for preference securities
or common stock of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent,
that is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States
of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and (2) such
Series B Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities
or common stock, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences,
privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less
favorable to the Holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges
and voting powers of the Series B Preferred Stock, taken as a whole;
provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized
preferred stock or any securities convertible into preferred stock or the
creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of
any series of preferred stock, or any securities convertible into preferred
stock ranking junior to, equally with and/or senior to the Series B
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such
dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or the distribution of
assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
will not, in and of itself, be deemed to adversely affect the voting powers,
preferences or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and,
notwithstanding Section 450.1773 of the Michigan Business
14
Corporation Act or any other provision of Michigan law, Holders will have no
right to separately vote solely by reason of such an increase, creation or
issuance.
If an amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification,
merger or consolidation described above would adversely affect one or more
but not all series of preferred stock with like voting rights (including the
Series B Preferred Stock for this purpose), then only the series affected
and entitled to vote shall vote as a class in lieu of all such series of
preferred stock.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders shall not have any voting rights if, at or
prior to the effective time of the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be
required, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been converted into
shares of Common Stock.
Section 13.
Fractional Shares
.
(a) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of any conversion
of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
(b) In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of
any conversion pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Corporation shall pay an amount in cash
(computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the Common
Stock determined as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion
Date.
(c) If more than one share of the Series B Preferred Stock is surrendered for
conversion at one time by or for 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 the Series B Preferred Stock so surrendered.
Section 14.
Reservation of Common Stock
.
(a) Following the receipt of the Stockholder Approvals for conversion of outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares acquired by the
Corporation, solely for issuance upon the conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred
Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations, free from any preemptive or other
similar rights, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable
upon the conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding,
assuming that the Applicable Conversion Price equaled the Conversion Price on the Effective
Date.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to deliver upon
conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock
acquired by the Corporation (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock), so long as any such acquired shares are free and clear of all liens, charges,
security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other
encumbrances created by the Holders).
15
(c) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and
clear of all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens,
charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).
(d) Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to
deliver upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use its
reasonable 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, and if notwithstanding such efforts the
shares of Common Stock cannot be delivered in compliance with such laws and regulations,
then the Corporation shall not be required to so deliver until it can deliver in compliance
with such laws and regulations.
(e) The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock
shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or
automated quotation system, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange
or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so
listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and, for the purpose of such calculation, shares
of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation on
such date.
Section 15.
Replacement Certificates
.
(a) The Corporation shall replace any mutilated certificate representing Series B
Preferred Stock at the Holders expense upon surrender of that certificate to the
Corporation. The Corporation shall replace certificates representing Series B Preferred
Stock that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holders expense upon delivery to the
Corporation of satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or
lost, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Corporation.
(b) The Corporation shall not be required to issue any certificates representing the
Series B Preferred Stock on or after the Mandatory Conversion Date.

of directors shall determine.
SECTION 3.
Special Meetings
. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or
purposes may be called at any time by the chief executive officer of the Corporation or by the
chairman of the board, the president or the secretary of the Corporation at the direction of the
board of directors.
SECTION 4.
Conduct of Meetings
. Annual and special meetings shall be conducted in
accordance with these Bylaws or as otherwise prescribed by the board of directors. The chairman or
the chief executive officer of the Corporation shall preside at such meetings.
SECTION 5.
Notice of Meeting
. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the
meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be mailed by the
secretary or the officer performing his duties, not less than ten (10) days nor more than 60 days
before the meeting to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such
notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the
shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the Corporation
as of the record date prescribed in Section 6, with postage thereon prepaid. If a shareholder be
present at a meeting, or in writing waive notice thereof before or after the meeting, notice of the
meeting to such shareholder shall be unnecessary. When any shareholders meeting, either annual
or special, is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in
the case of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and
place of any meeting adjourned for less than 30 days or of the business to be transacted at such
adjourned meeting, other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.
SECTION 6.
Fixing of Record Date
. For the purpose of determining shareholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or any adjournment thereof, or
shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of
shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors shall fix in advance a date as
the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date in any case shall be not
more than 60 days, and in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to
the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be
taken. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has
been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
SECTION 7.
Voting Lists
. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer
books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of
shareholders, a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any
adjournment thereof, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The record shall
be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
inspection of any shareholder of the Corporation during the whole time of the meeting. The record
of shareholders shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine
such record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.
SECTION 8.
Quorum
. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled
to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.
If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the
shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted
which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present
at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding
the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
SECTION 9.
Proxies
. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy
executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Proxies
solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the shareholder or, in the

be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the
proxy.
SECTION 10.

. Unless otherwise provided by the Corporations Articles of
Incorporation, at each election of directors every shareholder entitled to vote at such election
shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held. Unless otherwise provided by the
Corporations Articles of Incorporation, by statute, or by these Bylaws, a majority of those votes
cast by shareholders at a lawful meeting shall be sufficient to pass on a transaction or matter,
except in the election of directors, which election shall be determined by a plurality of the votes
of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of
directors.
2
SECTION 11.
Voting of Shares in the Name of Two or More Persons
. When ownership of
stock stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the
Corporation to the contrary, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation any one or more
of such shareholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which such ownership is
entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting votes, in person or by proxy, by the
several persons in whose name shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which these persons are
entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such stock and present in person
or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.
SECTION 12.
Voting of Shares by Certain Holders
. Shares standing in the name of
another corporation may be voted by any officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation
may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation
may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by
him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares
standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee
shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.
Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or
under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his
name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public
authority by which such receiver was appointed.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares
have been transferred into the name of the pledgee and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to
vote the shares so transferred.
Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the Corporation, nor shares held by another
corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such
other corporation are held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.
SECTION 13.
Inspectors of Election
. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the
board of directors may appoint any persons, other than nominees for office, as inspectors of
election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. The number of inspectors shall be
either one or three. If the board of directors so appoints either one or three inspectors, that
appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed,
the chairman of the board may make such appointment at the meeting. In case any person appointed
as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment
in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the board or the president.
Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law, the duties of such inspectors shall include:
determining the number of shares of stock and the voting power of each share, the shares of stock
represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of
proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions
in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or
consents; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote
with fairness to all shareholders.
SECTION 14.
Nominating Committee
. The board of directors or a committee appointed by
the board of directors shall act as a nominating committee for selecting the
3
management nominees
for election as directors. Except in the case of a nominee substituted as a result of the death or
other incapacity of a management nominee, the nominating committee shall
deliver written nominations to the secretary at least 20 days prior to the date of the annual
meeting. Provided such committee makes such nominations, no nominations for directors except those
made by the nominating committee shall be voted upon at the annual meeting unless other nominations
by shareholders are made in writing and delivered to the secretary of the Corporation in accordance
with the provisions of the Corporations Articles of Incorporation.
SECTION 15.
New Business
. Any new business to be taken up at the annual meeting
shall be stated in writing and filed with the secretary of the Corporation in accordance with the
provisions of the Corporations Articles of Incorporation. This provision shall not prevent the
consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors
and committees, but in connection with such reports no new business shall be acted upon at such
annual meeting unless stated and filed as provided in the Corporations Articles of Incorporation.

deemed to constitute notice to the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect upon receipt of
such notice or at any later time specified therein; and, unless otherwise specified therein,
acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any member of any such
committee may be removed at any time, either with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a

directors to designate and prescribe the relative rights, preferences and limitations of subsequent
series.
Each certificate representing shares shall state upon its face: That the Corporation is
organized under the laws of the State of Michigan; the name of the person to whom issued; and the

represents. Other matters in regard to the form of the certificates shall be determined by the
board of directors.

in whose name
7
shares of capital stock stand on the books of the Corporation shall be deemed by the

destroyed. When authorizing such issue of (i) a new certificate or (ii) uncertificated shares, the
board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof,
require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to
give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be
made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or
destroyed.

number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be
sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on
the per share offering price), the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only
such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without
adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority subject to

or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Subscriber and any
underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to

marketing activities), (i) make such representations and warranties to the managing underwriter(s),
if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the registration
