IOMEGA CORPORATION

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF SERIES A AND
SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK



    Iomega Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), pursuant to authority conferred on the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, certifies that the Board of Directors of the Corporation, at a meeting thereof duly called and held on October 13, 1987, duly adopted the following resolutions providing for the establishment of two series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, one to be designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" and consisting of 1,200,000 shares and one to be designated "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" and consisting of 250,000 shares, as follows:

A.  SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK.

    One million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock") with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations.

    (a) The holders of record of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of any funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum of the Series A Preference (as defined in Subsection 2(a) below) of such shares for the 1989 calendar year and at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum of the Series A Preference thereafter. Accrued dividends for each calendar year shall be paid annually on the March 31 (a "dividend payment date") following the end of such calendar year (commencing March 31, 1990) to holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on such record date (not more than 60 days prior to March 31) as is established by the Board of Directors for such dividend.

    Dividends at the applicable rates set forth above shall accrue daily and be cumulative from January 1, 1989. For purposes of the payment of dividends in cash, the amount of any dividends accrued on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any dividend payment date shall be deemed to be the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including the last day of the preceding calendar year, whether or not earned or declared.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, accrued dividends for any calendar year shall not be required to be paid unless the Corporation's after-tax net income (before any extraordinary benefits) for such year, as shown on the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, is equal to or greater than the sum of the aggregate amount of such accrued dividends. Any accrued dividends that are not paid shall be paid on the dividend payment date following the end of the first succeeding calendar year in which the Corporation's after-tax net income, before any extraordinary benefits (determined as set forth above), is sufficient to pay all of such accrued but unpaid dividends and the regular dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for such year.

    (b) So long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no cash dividends shall be paid or declared on the Common Stock of the Corporation or any security ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, unless all dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend payment dates shall have been paid and the full dividend payment for the dividend payment date next succeeding the payment date of such cash dividend shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment.

    (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation prior and in preference to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively referred to as "Senior Preferred Stock"), but before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (such Common Stock and other stock being collectively referred to as "Junior Stock") by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $5.00 per share (the "Series A Preference"). The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

    (b) After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Junior Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.

    (c) A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2.

    3.  VOTING.  Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

    4.  OPTIONAL CONVERSION.  The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Series A Conversion Rights"):

    (a) The Corporation may, at its option, require all, but not less than all, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective Series A Conversion price and otherwise in accordance with the terms of Section 4, if the Market Value of the Common Stock has been equal to or greater than the Series A Minimum Conversion Price for at least 20 of the 30 Trading Days prior to notice of such required conversion by the Corporation.

    (b) All holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be given at least 10 days' prior written notice of the date fixed and the place designated for mandatory conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice will be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock at such holder's address last shown on the records of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or the records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent). On or before the date fixed for conversion, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. On the date fixed for conversion, all rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote, will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor, to receive (i) certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock has been converted, (ii) payments of any accrued but unpaid dividends in accordance with Subsection 4(d)(iv) and (iii) payments in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Subsection 4(c). If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the date of such mandatory conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or on his or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in Subsection 4(c) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

    (c) All certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. The Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.

    (a) The Corporation will, subject to the conditions set forth in Subsection 6(b) below, on the date ten years after the Series A Original Issue Date (the "Series A Redemption Date"), redeem from each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to the Series A Preference, plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Series A Redemption Price"), all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Series A Redemption Date.

    (b) If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Series A Preferred Stock on the Series A Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock ratably on the basis of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which would be redeemed on such date if the funds of the Corporation legally available therefor had been sufficient to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation become legally available for the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, such funds will be used, after the end of the next succeeding fiscal quarter (also referred to as a "Series A Redemption Date"), to redeem the balance of the shares, ratably on the basis set forth in the preceding sentence.

    (c) The Corporation shall provide notice of any redemption of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 specifying the time and place of redemption and the Series A Redemption Price, by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock at the address for such holder last shown on the records of the transfer agent therefor (or the records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent), not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. If less than all Series A Preferred Stock owned by such holder is then to be redeemed, the notice will also specify the number of shares which are to be redeemed. Upon mailing any such notice of redemption, the Corporation will become obligated to redeem at the time of redemption specified therein all Series A Preferred Stock specified therein (other than such shares of Series A Preferred Stock as are duly converted pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 prior to the close of business on the fifth Trading Day preceding the Series A Redemption Date). In case less than all Series A Preferred Stock represented by any certificate is redeemed in any redemption pursuant to this Section 6, a new certificate will be issued representing the unredeemed Series A Preferred Stock to the holder thereof.

    (d) No share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to any dividends declared after its Series A Redemption Date, and on such Series A Redemption Date all rights of the holder of such share as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such share will cease, except the right to receive the Series A Redemption Price of such share, without interest, upon presentation and surrender of the certificate representing such share, and such share will not from and after such Series A Redemption Date be deemed to be outstanding.

    (e) Any Series A Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 will be cancelled and will not under any circumstances be reissued, sold or transferred and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.

B.  SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK.

    Two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred Stock") with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations.

    (a) The holders of record of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of any funds legally available therefor, dividends at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum of the Series B Preference (as defined in Subsection 2(a) below) of such shares for the 1989 calendar year and at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum of the Series B Preference thereafter. Accrued dividends for each calendar year shall be paid annually on the March 31 (a "dividend payment date") following the end of such calendar year (commencing March 31, 1990) to holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock on such record date (not more than 60 days prior to March 31) as is established by the Board of Directors for such dividend.

    Dividends at the applicable rates set forth above shall accrue daily and be cumulative from January 1, 1989. The amount of any dividends accrued on any shares of Series B Preferred Stock at any dividend payment date shall be deemed to be the amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including the last day of the preceding calendar year, whether or not earned or declared.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, accrued dividends for any calendar year shall not be required to be paid unless the Corporation's after-tax net income (before any extraordinary benefits) for such year, as shown on the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, is equal to or greater than the sum of the aggregate amount of such accrued dividends and the aggregate amount of all dividends required to be paid on the Series A Preferred Stock for such year. Any accrued dividends that are not paid shall be paid on the dividend payment date following the end of the first succeeding calendar year in which the Corporation's after-tax net income, before any extraordinary benefits (determined as set forth above), is sufficient to pay all of such accrued but unpaid dividends, the regular dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock for such year and all accrued but unpaid dividends required to be paid on such dividend payment date with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

    (b) So long as shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no cash dividends shall be paid or declared on the Common Stock of the Corporation or any security ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, unless all dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for all past dividend payment dates shall have been paid and the full dividend payment for the dividend payment date next succeeding the payment date of such cash dividend shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment.

    (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, after and subject to the payment in full of all amounts required to be distributed to the holders of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation prior and in preference to the Series B Preferred Stock (collectively referred to as "Senior Preferred Common Stock"), but before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (such Common Stock and other stock being collectively referred to as "Junior Stock") by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $5.00 per share (the "Series B Preference "). The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

    (b) After the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Junior Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.

    (c) A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation or entity, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 2.

    3.  VOTING.  The Corporation shall not amend, alter or repeal the preferences, special rights or other powers of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the Series B Preferred Stock, or authorize any class or series of capital stock having a preference over the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation or redemption rights or dividends, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class. Except as expressly set forth above or as otherwise required by law, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

    4.  OPTIONAL CONVERSION.  The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Series B Conversion Rights"):

    (a) The Corporation may, at its option, require all, but not less than all, holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding to convert their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective Series B Conversion Price and otherwise in accordance with the terms of Section 4, if the Market Value of the Common Stock has been equal to or greater than the Series B Minimum Conversion Price for at least 20 of the 30 Trading Days prior to notice of such required conversion by the Corporation.

    (b) All holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be given at least 10 days' prior written notice of the date fixed and the place designated for mandatory conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice will be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each record holder of Series B Preferred Stock at such holder's address last shown on the records of the transfer agent for the Series B Preferred Stock (or the records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent). On or before the date fixed for conversion, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5. On the date fixed for conversion, all rights with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote, will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor, to receive (i) certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock has been converted, (ii) payments of any accrued but unpaid dividends in accordance with Subsection 4(d)(iv) and (iii) payments in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Subsection 4(c). If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the date of such mandatory conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates for Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or on his or its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in Subsection 4(c) in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion.

    (c) All certificates evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. The Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.

    (a) The Corporation will, subject to the conditions set forth in Subsection 6(b) below, on the date ten years after the Series B Original Issue Date (the "Series B Redemption Date"), redeem from each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at a price per share equal to the Series B Preference, plus an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the "Series B Redemption Price"), all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Series B Redemption Date.

    (b) If the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of Series B Preferred Stock on the Series B Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock ratably on the basis of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock which would be redeemed on such date if the funds of the Corporation legally available therefor had been sufficient to redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation become legally available for the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock, such funds will be used, after the end of the next succeeding fiscal quarter (also referred to as a "Series B Redemption Date"), to redeem the balance of the shares, ratably on the basis set forth in the preceding sentence.

    (c) The Corporation shall provide notice of any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 specifying the time and place of redemption and the Series B Redemption Price, by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock at the address for such holder last shown on the records of the transfer agent therefor (or the records of the Corporation, if it serves as its own transfer agent), not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date on which such redemption is to be made. If less than all Series B Preferred Stock owned by such holder is then to be redeemed, the notice will also specify the number of shares which are to be redeemed. Upon mailing any such notice of redemption, the Corporation will become obligated to redeem at the time of redemption specified therein all Series B Preferred Stock specified therein (other than such shares of Series B Preferred Stock as are duly converted pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 prior to the close of business on the fifth Trading Day preceding the Series B Redemption Date). In case less than all Series B Preferred Stock represented by any certificate is redeemed in any redemption pursuant to this Section 6, a new certificate will be issued representing the unredeemed Series B Preferred Stock to the holder thereof.

    (d) No share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to any dividends declared after its Series B Redemption Date, and on such Series B Redemption Date all rights of the holder of such share as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such share will cease, except the right to receive the Series B Redemption Price of such share, without interest, upon presentation and surrender of the certificate representing such share, and such share will not from and after such Series B Redemption Date be deemed to be outstanding.

    (e) Any Series B Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 will be cancelled and will not under any circumstances be reissued, sold or transferred and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series B Preferred Stock accordingly.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
of
SERIES C JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
of
IOMEGA CORPORATION



    Iomega Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting duly called and held on July 28, 1989:

    RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, there is hereby created a series of preferred stock, $.01 par value (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation to be designated as "Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock"; and, subject to the limitations provided by law and by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions upon, the Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be as follows:

SERIES C JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK:

    1.  DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT.  The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series C Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series C Preferred Stock shall be 250,000. Such number of shares shall be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter, the "Board of Directors" or the "Board"); PROVIDED, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series C Preferred Stock.

    2.  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.  

    (a) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $.031/3 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other security ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, quarterly dividends payable in cash on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series C Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (i) $1 or (ii) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series C Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

    (b) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series C Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock) and the Corporation shall pay such dividend or distribution on the Series C Preferred Stock before the dividend or distribution declared on the Common Stock is paid or set apart; provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1 per share on the Series C Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

    (c) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series C Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

    3.  VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

    4.  CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.  

    (a) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series C Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

    (b) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (a) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

    5.  REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

    6.  LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.  

    (a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (i) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series C Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series C Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

    (b) Neither the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Corporation with or into any other corporation nor the sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or any part of the property, assets or business of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 6.

    (c) In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (i) of paragraph (a) of this Section 6 shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

    7.  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

    8.  NO REDEMPTION.  The shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

    9.  RANK.  The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class of the Preferred Stock issued either before or after the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.

    10.  AMENDMENT.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series C Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a single class.

    11.  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  Series C Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series C Preferred Stock.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designations is executed on behalf of the Corporation by its President and Chief Executive Officer and attested by its Secretary this 7th day of August, 1989.

OF
SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
OF
IOMEGA CORPORATION



    Iomega Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the corporation at a meeting duly called and held on July 29, 1999:

    RESOLVED:  That pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences and limitations thereof as follows:

    Section 1.  Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be four hundred thousand (400,000). Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors prior to issuance; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock.

    Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.  

    (A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $.031/3 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Corporation in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Series A Preferred Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 2(A) shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

    (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock) and the Corporation shall pay such dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock before the dividend or distribution declared on the Common Stock is paid or set apart; provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

    (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

    Section 3.  Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

    Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.  

    (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

    (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

    Section 5.  Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

    Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  

    (A) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $1000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

    (B) Neither the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Corporation with or into any other corporation nor the sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or any part of the property, assets or business of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section 6.

    (C) In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (1) of paragraph (A) of this Section 6 shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Series A Preferred Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (1) of paragraph (A) of this Section 6 shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

    Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock payable in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Series A Preferred Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7 with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

    Section 9.  Rank.  The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class of the Preferred Stock issued either before or after the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.

    Section 10.  Amendment.  At such time as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.
