_________________________________________________

 

Pursuant to Section 401 of the

General Corporation Law of the State of California

_________________________________________________

 

The undersigned, Thomas Lam, M.D., and Paul Liu, M.D., hereby certify that:

 

A.       They are the duly elected and acting Chief Executive Officer and the duly elected and acting Secretary, respectively, of Allied Physicians of California, a Professional Medical Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”).

 

B.       The authorized number of shares of the Preferred Stock of the Company is 1,000,000, none of which shares have been issued. The authorized number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock is 1,000,000, none of which shares have been issued.

 

C.       Pursuant to the authority given by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has duly adopted the following recitals and resolutions:

 

WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize a class of Preferred Stock comprising 1,000,000 shares issuable from time to time in one or more series;

 

WHEREAS, the Board is authorized to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, including but not limited to the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of them; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company heretofore has not issued or designated any series of Preferred Stock, and it is the desire of the Board, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board hereby provides for the issue of the first series of Preferred Stock consisting of 1,000,000 shares designated as “Series A Preferred Stock”; and

 

 

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Board hereby fixes the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions and other matters relating to the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) as follows:

 

1.       Certain Definitions.

 

Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly, or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with such specified Person. For the avoidance of doubt, APC-LSMA Designated Shareholder Medical Corporation is an Affiliate of the Company.

 

Baseline Amount” means, as of the Effective Date, an amount equal to $54,000,000, which amount shall pro-rated (as reasonably determined by the Board) in connection with the calculation of the Series A Dividend with respect to less than a full fiscal year of the Company, subject to adjustment as follows: Commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each succeeding anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter (each, an “Adjustment Date”), the Baseline Amount shall be increased, if applicable, by the same percentage increase (the “Percentage Increase”) as the change in the CPI for the period of January 1 through December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, which percentage increase shall be determined by subtracting the CPI effective as of January 1 of the preceding calendar year (the “Base CPI”) from the CPI effective as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year (the “Target CPI”) to calculate the CPI point change (the “CPI Point Change”), and then dividing the CPI Point Change by the Base CPI and multiplying the result by 100. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Target CPI is the same or less than the Base CPI, then, the Baseline Amount will remain the same for the ensuing one (1) year period. As an illustration only, and not by way of limitation, assume that the Base CPI is 103 and the Target CPI is 106, and that the Baseline Amount prior to the Adjustment Date is $54,000,000, then, the adjusted Baseline Amount is calculated as follows:

 

·CPI Point Change = 106 [Target CPI] minus 103 [Base CPI] = 3

 

·3 [CPI Point Change] / 103 [Base CPI] = 0.029

 

·0.029 x 100 = 2.9%

 

·Adjusted Baseline Amount = $54,000,000 x 1.029 = $55,566,000

If such index is no longer published, the Company and the holders of the Series A Preferred shall attempt to agree upon a substitute index or formula, but if they are unable to so agree, then an arbitrator shall determine what substitute index or formula shall be used. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing by a single arbitrator in Los Angeles, California.
