CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF THE
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF
THE RIGHTS, PREFERENCES, PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS OF
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC.
     JDA Software Group, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows:
     1. Sections 3A and 3B of the Corporation’s Certificate of Designations of the Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
     “3A. Scheduled Redemption. At any time after September 6, 2013, any holder of Shares may demand redemption of all or any part of the Shares then held by such holder. Holders may exercise such redemption right by giving written notice to the Corporation of such election not more than 60 days and not less than 15 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. Unless the redemption of such Shares is prohibited under any outstanding Funded Debt arrangement, upon such holders’ redemption election pursuant to this Section 3A, the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem such Shares on the date specified in such notice at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price. If the redemption of such Shares is prohibited under any outstanding Funded Debt arrangement, the Corporation shall redeem the Shares specified in such notice as soon as practicable following termination of such prohibition, which in any case and regardless of any prohibition under any outstanding Funded Debt arrangement shall be no later than September 6, 2017, at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a holder of Shares provides a redemption notice pursuant to this Section 3A any time after September 6, 2017, the Corporation shall be required to redeem such Shares specified in the notice on the date specified therein at a price per Share equal to the Cash Redemption Price regardless of any prohibition under any Funded Debt arrangements.
     3B. Redemption Payments. For each Share which is to be redeemed hereunder, the Corporation shall be obligated on the Redemption Date to pay to the holder thereof (upon surrender by such holder at the Corporation’s principal office of the certificate representing such Share) an amount in cash equal to the Cash Redemption Price for such Redemption Date. If the Corporation is not prohibited under any Funded Debt arrangement, including the Senior Debt and if the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Shares on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Shares pro rata among the holders of the Shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Cash Redemption Price of such Shares held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of Shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.”
     2. Section 5A of the Series B Certificate of Designations is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “5A. Conversion at the Holder’s Option. At any time and from time to time, any holder of Series B Preferred may convert (without the payment of any additional consideration) all or any

6


 

portion of the Series B Preferred (including any fraction of a Share) held by such holder into a number of shares of Conversion Stock computed by (i) the sum of (a) the number of Shares to be converted multiplied by $1,000 and (b) the accrued but unpaid Cash Dividend, if any then payable, divided by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect.”
     3. The definition of “Cash Dividend” set forth below is hereby added to Section 12 of the Series B Certificate of Designations after the definition of “Affiliate”:
     “Cash Dividend” means a dividend accruing from any Measurement Date until earlier of (a) the date such Shares are redeemed pursuant to Section 3, (b) the next succeeding date whereon the Corporation is no longer prohibited under any Funded Debt from redeeming any Share, and (c) September 6, 2017, payable in cash by the Corporation in amount equal to twelve percent (12%) on an annual basis times the Liquidation Value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends pursuant to Section 1, compounding quarterly.
     4. The definition of “Cash Redemption Price” in Section 12 of the Series B Certificate of Designations is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     “Cash Redemption Price” of any Share as of any date of determination means the Liquidation Value thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and, in the case that the Corporation is prohibited under any Funded Debt arrangement from redeeming the Shares pursuant to Section 3A, the Cash Redemption Price shall be the sum of the Liquidation Value of any Share as of any date of determination, all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and the Cash Dividend.
     5. The definition of “Measurement Date” set forth the below is hereby added to Section 12 of the Series B Certificate of Designations after the definition of “Material Adverse Effect”:
     “Measurement Date” any date on or after September 6, 2013 whereon the Corporation is prohibited by any Funded Debt arrangement from redeeming any Share.
     6. The definition of “Senior Debt” in Section 12 of the Series B Certificate of Designations is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     ““Senior Debt” means (a) the Credit Agreement, dated                     , 2008, by and among the Corporation, the Lenders identified therein, Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC as Syndication Agent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as joint bookrunners and lead arrangers, and the other agents party thereto, including any notes, guarantees, collateral and security documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith, and in each case, as amended, restated, refinanced or waived from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”) and (b) all obligations thereunder or with respect thereto.”
     7. The foregoing amendments of the Series B Certificate of Designations have been duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors and stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Sections 151(g) and 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
     This amendment to the Series B Certificate of Designations shall be effective on and as of the date of filing of this Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
