CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF
WLG INC.
WLG Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting duly held, adopted resolutions (i) authorizing a series of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, and (ii) providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of 1,700,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue one million seven hundred thousand (1,700,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), par value $.001 per share, which shall have the powers, designations, preferences and other special rights set forth below.
1. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or the Certificate of Incorporation or required by law, the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares and the holders of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and the holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) shall vote together as a single class with each Series B Preferred Share having the number of votes equal to the largest whole number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Share could be converted, at the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken.
2. Stated Value. Each Preferred Share shall have a “Stated Value” equal to one dollar ($1.00) per share.
3. Conversion. Series B Preferred Shares shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.
(a) Holders’ Conversion Right. At any time and/or from time to time on or after the first issuance of any Series B Preferred Shares (the “Original Issuance Date”) any holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert any whole or partial number of Series B Preferred Shares into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3(a). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one Series B Preferred Share by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing such fractional share, pay to the holder the fair value thereof in cash. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Preferred Shares unless such taxes result from the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion to a person other than the holder of Series B Preferred Shares.
(b) Company Forced Conversion. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in Section 12 of this Certificate of Designation (this “Certificate”)), the Company shall have a one (1) time right to require the automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as defined below). To effectuate such conversion, the Company shall send to the holders a written notice (the “Company Notice of Conversion”), not less than ten (10) business days prior to the date such conversion shall occur, which conversion date may not be later than the effective date of the Change of Control (the “Company Conversion Date”), informing the holders of the Company Conversion Date, the reason for such conversion and the number of shares of Common Stock they will receive upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares.
(c) Conversion Price. Subject to anti-dilution adjustment as provided in Section 3(e), the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) of each Series B Preferred Share shall be $0.70. Each Series B Preferred Share will convert into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of the Series B Preferred Share by the Conversion Price, as adjusted at the time of conversion.
(d) Mechanics of Conversion. To convert Series B Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Certificate, the holder thereof shall (i) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company, and (ii) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company the original certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares being converted (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or destruction) (the “Series B Preferred Stock Certificates”). Following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled. If the number of Series B Preferred Shares represented by the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant to Section 3(a) of this Certificate (ii) is greater than the number of Series B Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the “Preferred Stock Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Series B Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of Series B Preferred Shares not converted. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series B Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
-2-
(e) Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Conversion Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(i) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection (e)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(ii) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (e)(ii) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
(iii) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series B Preferred Shares been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this subsection (e) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares.
(iv) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event that at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this subsection (e)), then and in any such event each holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Shares could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
-3-
(v) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issuance Date there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this subsection (e)) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this subsection (e)(v) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this subsection (e)(v) (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
(f) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 of this Certificate and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares against impairment
(g) Status of Converted Stock. In the event any Series B Preferred Shares shall be converted pursuant to Section 3 of this Certificate, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be reissued as Series B Preferred Shares.
4. Reservation of Authorized Shares. The Company shall, so long as any of the Series B Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, 100% of such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding.
-4-
5. Series B Preferred Rank. The Series B Preferred Shares shall, with respect to all preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, rank senior and prior to the Common Stock and pari passu with the Series A Preferred Shares.
6. Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, legally available for distribution therefrom (the “Liquidation Funds”), (i) before any amount shall be paid to the holders Common Stock and (ii) pari passu with the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per Series B Preferred Share equal to $1.00 per Series B Preferred Share (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting such shares in the manner provided in Section 3(e) of this Certificate for the adjustment of the Conversion Price) plus all dividends, if any, which have accrued or are payable under Section 8 hereof, but have not been paid in cash and received by the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares, up to and including the date full payment is tendered to the holder of such Series B Preferred Share with respect to such Liquidation (collectively, the “Preferred Liquidation Payment”); provided, however, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay, issue or deliver the full amount due to the holders of Series B Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares as provided herein, then each holder of Series B Preferred Shares and Series A Preferred Shares shall receive prior to any payment to any other holder of securities of the Company, a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with this Certificate, as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Series B Preferred Shares and Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding. No holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive any amounts with respect thereto upon any Liquidation other than the amounts provided for herein; provided that a holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to all amounts previously accrued with respect to amounts owed hereunder.
7. Dividends; Participation. The Company shall pay cash dividends at the rate of 12% of the Stated Value per share per annum payable quarterly on December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. If funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends, any unpaid amounts shall accrue and be paid at the next dividend payment date until all accrued but unpaid dividends are paid in full. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall accrue daily commencing on the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares. The holders of the Series B Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any other dividends with respect to their Series B Preferred Shares.
8. Vote to Issue, or Change the Terms of, Series B Preferred Shares. The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares shall be required for any amendment to this Certificate or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s By-Laws which would in any way directly and/or indirectly amend, alter, change, repeal or otherwise adversely affect any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred Shares.
-5-
9. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series B Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Series B Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new Series B Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

Such Company Redemption Notice shall be sent not less than ten (10) business days prior to the proposed Company Redemption Date and shall disclose the Company Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the mechanics of redemption including how the Company will pay the Redemption Price on the Company Redemption Date and the holders’ right to convert the Series B Preferred Shares into Common Stock, as provided in Section 3(a) of this Certificate.
