(b) Series Preferred Stock
1. Board Authority: The Series Preferred Stock may be issued from time to
time by the Board of Directors as herein provided in one or more series. The
designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Series
Preferred Stock, and particularly of the shares of each series thereof, may, to
the extent permitted by law, be similar to or may differ from those of any other
series. The Board of Directors of the corporation is hereby expressly granted
authority, subject to the provisions of this Article III, to issue from time to
time Series Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix from time to time
before issuance thereof, by filing a certificate pursuant to the Banking Law,
the number of shares in each such series of such class and all designations,
relative rights (including the right, to the extent permitted by law, to convert
into shares of any class or into shares of any series of any class), preferences
and limitations of the shares in each such series, including, buy without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:
(i) The number of shares to constitute such series (which number may
at any time, or from time to time, be increased or decreased by the Board
of Directors, notwithstanding that shares of the series may be outstanding
at the time of such increase or decrease, unless the Board of Directors
shall have otherwise provided in creating such series) and the distinctive
designation thereof;
(ii) The dividend rate on the shares of such series, whether or not
dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative, and the date
or dates, if any, from which dividends thereon shall be cumulative;
(iii) Whether or not the share of such series shall be redeemable,
and, if redeemable, the date or dates upon or after which they shall be
redeemable, the amount or amounts per share (which shall be, in the case
of each share, not less than its preference upon involuntary liquidation,
plus an amount equal to all dividends thereon accrued and unpaid, whether
or not earned or declared) payable thereon in the case of the redemption
thereof, which amount may vary at different redemption dates or otherwise
as permitted by law;
(iv) The right, if any, of holders of shares of such series to
convert the same into, or exchange the same for, Common Stock or other
stock as permitted by law, and the terms and conditions of such conversion
or exchange, as well as provisions for adjustment of the conversion rate
in such events as the Board of Directors shall determine;
<PAGE> 4
(v) The amount per share payable on the shares of such series upon
the voluntary and involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the corporation;
(vi) Whether the holders of shares of such series shall have voting
power, full or limited, in addition to the voting powers provided by law
and, in case additional voting powers are accorded, to fix the extent
thereof; and
(vii) Generally to fix the other rights and privileges and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights and privileges
of such series, provided, however, that no such rights, privileges,
qualifications, limitations or restrictions shall be in conflict with the
organization certificate of the corporation or with the resolution or
resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of
any series of which there are shares outstanding.
All shares of Series Preferred Stock of the same series shall be identical
in all respects, except that shares of any one series issued at different times
may differ as to dates, if any, from which dividends thereon may accumulate. All
shares of Series Preferred Stock of all series shall be of equal rank and shall
be identical in all respects except that to the extent not otherwise limited in
this Article III any series may differ from any other series with respect to any
one or more of the designations, relative rights, preferences and limitations
described or referred to in subparagraphs (I) to (vii) inclusive above.
2. Dividends: Dividends on the outstanding Series Preferred Stock of each
series shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment before any dividends
shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Common Stock with
respect to the same quarterly dividend period. Dividends on any shares of Series
Preferred Stock shall be cumulative only if and to the extent set forth in a
certificate filed pursuant to law. After dividends on all shares of Series
Preferred Stock (including cumulative dividends if and to the extend any such
shares shall be entitled thereto) shall have been declared and paid or set apart
for payment with respect to any quarterly dividend period, then and not
otherwise so long as any shares of Series Preferred Stock shall remain
outstanding, dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment with
respect to the same quarterly dividend period on the Common Stock out the assets
or funds of the corporation legally available therefor.
All Shares of Series Preferred Stock of all series shall be of equal rank,
preference and priority as to dividends irrespective of whether or not the rates
of dividends to which the same shall be entitled shall be the same and when the
stated dividends are not paid in full, the shares of all series of the Series
Preferred Stock shall share ratably in the payment thereof in accordance with
the sums which would by payable on such shares if all dividends were paid in
full, provided, however, that nay two or more series of the Series Preferred
Stock may differ from each other as to the existence and extent of the right to
cumulative dividends, as aforesaid.
3. Voting Rights: Except as otherwise specifically provided in the
certificate filed pursuant to law with respect to any series of the Series
Preferred Stock, or as otherwise provided by law, the Series Preferred Stock
shall not have any right to vote for the election of directors or for any other
purpose and the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the
election of directors and for all other purposes.
4. Liquidation: In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each series of Series
Preferred Stock shall have preference and priority over the Common Stock for
payment of the amount to which each outstanding series of Series Preferred Stock
shall be entitled in accordance with the provisions thereof and each holder of
Series Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in full such amount, or have
a sum sufficient for the payment in full set aside, before any payments shall be
made to the holders of the Common Stock. If, upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the corporation, the assets of the corporation or proceeds
thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of all series of the
Series Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential
amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be
distributed among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts
which would be payable if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. After
the payment to the holders of Series Preferred Stock of all such amounts to
which they are entitled, as above provided, the remaining assets and funds of
the corporation shall be divided and paid to the holders of the Common Stock.
<PAGE> 5
5. Redemption: In the event that the Series Preferred Stock of any series
shall be made redeemable as provided in clause (iii) of paragraph 1 of section
(b) of this Article III, the corporation, at the option of the Board of
Directors, may redeem at any time or times, and from time to time, all or any
part of any one or more series of Series Preferred Stock outstanding by paying
for each share the then applicable redemption price fixed by the Board of
Directors as provided herein, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid
dividends to the date fixed for redemption, upon such notice and terms as may be
specifically provided in the certificate filed pursuant to law with respect to
the series.
6. Preemptive Rights: No holder of Series Preferred Stock of the
corporation shall be entitled, as such, as a matter or right, to subscribe for
or purchase any part of any new or additional issue of stock of any class or
series whatsoever, any rights or options to purchase stock of any class or
series whatsoever, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
carrying rights or options to purchase stock of any class or series whatsoever,
whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether issued for cash or other
consideration, or by way of dividend.
(c) Provisions relating to Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock,
Series A. (Liquidation value $1,000,000 per share.)
1. Designation: The distinctive designation of the series established
hereby shall be "Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A"
(hereinafter called "Series A Preferred Stock").
2. Number: The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
initially be 250 shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased
or otherwise acquired by the corporation shall be cancelled and shall revert to
authorized but unissued Series Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.
3. Dividends:
(a) Dividend Payments Dates. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive non-cumulative cash dividends when, as and if declared by
the Board of Directors of the corporation, out of funds legally available
therefor, from the date of original issuance of such shares (the "Issue Date")
and such dividends will be payable on March 28, June 28, September 28 and
December 28 of each year (:Dividend Payment Date") commencing September 28,
1990, at a rate per annum as determined in paragraph 3(b) below. The period
beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the day preceding the firs Dividend
Payment Date and each successive period beginning on a Dividend Payment Date and
ending on the date preceding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date is herein
called a "Dividend Period". If any Dividend payment Date shall be, in The City
of New York, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions
are authorized by law to close, then payment will be postponed to the next
succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the
Dividend Payment Date, and no interest shall accrue for such Dividend Period
after such Dividend Payment Date.
(b) Dividend Rate. The dividend rare from time to time payable in respect
of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Dividend Rate") shall be determined on the
basis of the following provisions:
(i) On the Dividend Determination Date, LIBOR will be determined on the
basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of
three months commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following
such Dividend Determination Date, as such rates appear on the Reuters Screen
LIBO Page as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on such Dividend Determination Date. If
at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, LIBOR in
respect of such Dividend Determination Dates will be the arithmetic mean
(rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, with five one-thousandths of
a percent rounded upwards) of such offered rates. If fewer than those offered
rates appear, LIBOR in respect of such Dividend Determination Date will be
determined as described in paragraph (ii) below.
(ii) On any Dividend Determination Date on which fewer than those offered
rates for the applicable maturity appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page as
specified in paragraph (I) above, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the
rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months
commending on the second London Business Day immediately following such Dividend
Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is
representative of a single transaction in such market at such time are offered
by three major banks
<PAGE> 6
in the London interbank market selected by the corporation at approximately
11:00 A.M., London time, on such Dividend Determination Date to prime banks in
the London market. The corporation will request the principal London office of
each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Dividend Determination Date
will be the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent,
with five one-thousandths of a percent rounded upwards) of such quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Dividend
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest
one-hundredth of a percent, with five one-thousandths of a percent rounded
upwards) of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by
the corporation at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such
Dividend Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks
having a maturity of three months commencing on the second London Business Day
immediately following such Dividend Determination Date and in a principal amount
of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative of a single transaction in
such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as
aforesaid by the corporation are not quoting as aforementioned in this sentence,
then, with respect to such Dividend Period, LIBOR for the preceding Dividend
Period will be continued as LIBOR for such Dividend Period.
(ii) The Dividend Rate for any Dividend Period shall be equal to the lower
of 18% of 50 basis points above LIBOR for such Dividend Period as LIBOR is
determined by sections (I) or (ii) above.
As used above, the term "Dividend Determination Date" shall mean, with resect to
any Dividend Period, the second London Business Day prior to the commencement of
such Dividend Period; and the term "London Business Day" shall mean any day that
is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in New York City, is not a day on which
banking institutions generally are authorized or required by law or executive
order to close and that is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars
are transacted in the London interbank market.
4. Voting Rights: The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have
the voting power and rights set forth in this paragraph 4 and shall have no
other voting power or rights except as otherwise may from time to time be
required by law.
So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of
at least a majority of the votes of the Series Preferred Stock entitled to vote
outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by
resolution adopted at a meeting at which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
(alone or together with the holders of one or more other series of Series
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding and entitled to vote) vote separately as
a class, alter the provisions of the Series Preferred Stock so as to materially
adversely affect its rights; provided, however, that in the event any such
materially adverse alteration affects the rights of only the Series A Preferred
Stock, then the alteration may be effected with the vote or consent of at least
a majority of the votes of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, further, that
an increase in the amount of the authorized Series Preferred Stock and/or the
creation and/or issuance of other series of Series Preferred Stock in accordance
with the organization certificate shall not be, nor be deemed to be, materially
adverse alterations. In connection with the exercise of the voting rights
contained in the preceding sentence, holders of all series of Series Preferred
Stock which are granted such voting rights (of which the Series A Preferred
Stock is the initial series) shall vote as a class (except as specifically
provided otherwise) and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have one
vote for each share of stock held and each other series shall have such number
of votes, if any, for each share of stock held as may be granted to them.
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, in connection with the
matters specified, provision is made for the redemption or retirement of all
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.
5. Liquidation: Subject to the provisions of section (b) of this Article
III, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have
preference and priority over the Common Stock for payment out of the assets of
the corporation or proceeds thereof, whether from capital or surplus, of
$1,000,000 per share (the "liquidation value") together with the amount of all
dividends accrued and unpaid thereon, and after such payment the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no other payments.
<PAGE> 7
6. Redemption: Subject to the provisions of section (b) of this Article
III, Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, at the option of the corporation
in whole or part, at any time or from time to time at a redemption price of
$1,000,000 per share, in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date
of redemption.
At the option of the corporation, shares of Series A Preferred Stock
redeemed or otherwise acquired may be restored to the status of authorized but
unissued shares of Series Preferred Stock.
In the case of any redemption, the corporation shall give notice of such
redemption to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed in the
following manner: a notice specifying the shares to be redeemed and the time and
place or redemption (and, if less than the total outstanding shares are to be
redeemed, specifying the certificate numbers and number of shares to be
redeemed) shall be mailed by first class mail, addressed to the holders of
record of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective
addressees as the same shall appear upon the books of the corporation, not more
than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days previous to the date
fixed for redemption. In the event such notice is not given to any shareholder
such failure to give notice shall not affect the notice given to other
shareholders. If less than the whole amount of outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock is to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected by lot or
pro rata in any manner determined by resolution of the Board of Directors to b
fair and proper. From and after the date fixed in any such notice as the date of
redemption (unless default shall be made by the corporation in providing moneys
at the time and place of redemption for the payment of the redemption\price) all
dividends upon the Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease
to accrue, and all rights of the holders of said Series A Preferred Stock as
stockholders in the corporation, except the right to receive the redemption
price (without interest) upon surrender of the certificate representing the
Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, duly endorsed for transfer,
if required, shall cease and terminate. The corporation's obligation to provide
moneys in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if,
on or before the redemption date, the corporation shall deposit with a bank or
trust company (which may e an affiliate of the corporation) having an office in
the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, having a capital and surplus of at
least $5,000,000 funds necessary for such redemption, in trust with irrevocable
instructions that such funds be applied to the redemption of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption. Any interest accrued on such
funds shall be paid to the corporation from time to time. Any funds so deposited
and unclaimed at the end of two (2) years from such redemption date shall be
released or repaid to the corporation, after which the holders of such shares of
Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall look only to the
corporation for payment of the redemption price.
