| A. | The name of the corporation is: |
The Polacheck Company Inc. | ||
| (prior to any change effected by this amendment) |
Text of Amendment. (Refer to the existing articles of incorporation and instruction A. Determine those items to be changed and set forth below the number identifying the paragraph being changed and how the amended paragraph is to read.)
RESOLVED, THAT, Article of the Articles of Incorporation are hereby amended to read as follows:
Article 4. The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 101,000, consisting of 100,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). The relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be identical in every respect except as to preferences as follows:
| (1) | Preferred Stock. In the event of a partial or complete liquidations, dissolution or winding up to the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (hereinafter referred to as “liquidation”), before any assets of the Corporation shall be paid to, set aside for or distributed to holders of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof, a preferential payment for each share of Preferred Stock held of record thereby, determined as follows: |
| (a) | First, the fair market value of the assets of the Corporation shall be divided by the total number of outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation (both Common Stock and Preferred Stock) outstanding as of June 30, 1997 (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and/or similar transactions) to determine an initial share proration of such assets (the “Initial Share Proration”). |
| (b) | Second, in the event the Initial Shares Proration for shares of Preferred Stock is less than the par value (adjusted as appropriate as set forth herein), then each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a preferential payment equal to the lesser of (i) the par value (as adjusted) of such shares of Preferred Stock or (ii) an amount equal to the assets of the Corporation divided by the total number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. Thereafter, the holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any further distribution of assets of the Corporation or otherwise. |
| (c) | Third, in the event the Initial Share Proration for shares of Preferred Stock is greater than the par value (as adjusted), the shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a preferential distribution on the basis of the Initial Proration. |
If the assets distributable upon a liquidation shall be insufficient to permit the distribution to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the full amount of the par value (as adjusted), then the amount distributable to the Preferred Stock shall be distributed ratably to such holders in proportion to the full amounts to which each in respectively entitled. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of all or any part of its assets or stock, shall be deemed to be a liquidation of the Corporation for purposes hereof. In the event of any stock-split, stock dividend, reverse stock-split or other similar transaction affecting the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, the par value of each share of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted proportionately so that the aggregate par value of all Preferred Stock outstanding prior to such transaction shall equal the aggregate par value of all such Preferred Stock outstanding after such transaction.
(2) Common Stock. In the event of a liquidation of the Corporation, and after the distribution in full of all prior and preferential amounts to which the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, the reminder of the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the holders of shares of Common Stock in proportion to the respective number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder compared to the aggregate number of such shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
