CERTIFICATE
OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS
OF
SERIES
B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Pursuant
to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation of Medical Discoveries, Inc., a Utah
corporation (the “Corporation”), and pursuant to the provisions of Section
16-10a-601 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, said Board of Directors
pursuant to a unanimous written consent, dated as of November 6,
2007, adopted a
resolution establishing the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
of,
and the number of shares comprising, a new series of the Corporation’s Preferred
Stock, which resolution is as follows:
WHEREAS,
the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation provide
for 50,000,000 shares of a class of shares known as “Preferred Stock,” issuable
from time to time in one or more series; and
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to create a new series
of Preferred Stock and to determine the preferences, limitations and relative
rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock,
to fix the number of shares constituting any such Series, and to determine
the
designation thereof;
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Corporation desires, pursuant to its authority
as
aforesaid, to determine and fix the powers, preferences voting and other rights
and restrictions relating to a new series of Preferred Stock and the number
of
shares constituting and the designation of said new series;
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby fixes and
determines number of shares constituting, and the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions relating to a new series of the Corporation’s
Preferred Stock as follows:
1. DESIGNATION
OF SERIES.
There is
hereby established a series of preferred stock, no par value per share, of
the
Corporation, which new series is designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock” (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The number of shares constituting such
series is 13,000, which number may from time to time be increased or decreased
(but not below the number then outstanding) by the Board of Directors. The
Series B Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $100 per share for the
purpose of calculating amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, and adjustments to the Conversion Price. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock
may be issued in fractional shares, which fractional shares shall entitle the
holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional share, to all rights of a
holder of a whole share of this series.
2. RANK.
The
Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to the rights of the Corporation’s
shareholders upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of
the
Corporation, rank (i) senior and prior to the Corporation’s Common Stock, no par
value per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) junior to the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock.
3. DIVIDENDS.
No
dividends are required to be paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
However, no dividend shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock, other than
dividends payable solely in capital stock, unless an equivalent dividend
(computed in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
each
share of Series B Preferred Stock is then convertible) is paid and declared
for
all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each dividend shall be
paid
to the holders of record of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as they
appear on the stock register of the Corporation on a date determined by the
Board of Directors (the “Dividend Record Date”). Holders of shares of the Series
B Preferred Stock converted between the close of business on a Dividend Record
Date and the close of business on the dividend payment date shall, in lieu
of
receiving such dividend on the dividend payment date fixed therefor, receive
such dividend payment on the date of conversion. The holders of shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends other than
the
dividends provided for in this Paragraph 3.
4. LIQUIDATION.
a. The
liquidation value per share of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, in case
of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
affairs of the Corporation, shall be $100 per share, plus an amount equal to
the
dividends declared and unpaid with respect to each such share, to the payment
date (such aggregate amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidation
Preference”). Whenever the distribution provided for in this Paragraph 4 shall
be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be
the
fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board
of
Directors of the Corporation.
b. In
the
event of a distribution in connection any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, and subject to the prior rights
of
the Corporation’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of
the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets
of
the Corporation, whether such assets are capital or surplus of any nature,
an
amount per share equal to the Liquidation Preference of such shares held by
them
in preference to and in priority over any distributions made to the holders
of
Common Stock. If, upon the occurrence of a liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution
to shareholders shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to holders
of Series B Preferred Stock of the Liquidity Preference, then all of the assets
and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to holders
of
the Series B Preferred Stock shall be distributed ratably among the holders
of
Series B Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such
holder is otherwise entitled to receive. Upon payment of the Liquidation
Preference to which the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are
entitled in accordance with this paragraph, the Series B Preferred Stock shall
be cancelled and the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
not
thereafter be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of
assets by the Corporation.
c. Neither
a
consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity, nor
a
merger of any other entity with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer
of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets for cash or securities or other
property shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Corporation within the meaning of this Paragraph 4.
d. Written
notice of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating
the payment date or dates when and the place or places where the amounts
distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first
class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days prior to any payment date
stated therein to the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock at
their
respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the transfer
agent
with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.
5. VOTING.
The
holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote upon all matters
presented to the Corporation’s shareholders, together with the holders of the
Common Stock as one class. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle
the holder thereof to that number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock into which each such share of Series B Preferred Stock would have
been convertible, if such conversion had taken place on the record date set
for
determining stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting or the date of the
consent of stockholders if action is being taken by written
consent.
6. CONVERSION.
The
holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right at any
time commencing from the date of issuance to convert any and all of such
holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock into duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
at the Conversion Price, as defined herein, and upon the terms set forth herein.
The holder of any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock may exercise such
holder’s right to voluntarily convert such shares into shares of Common Stock by
surrendering for such purpose to the Corporation, at its principal office or
at
such other office or agency maintained by the Corporation for that purpose,
a
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
to be converted, accompanied by a written notice stating that such holder elects
to convert all or a specified whole number of such shares in accordance with
the
provisions of this Paragraph 6 and specifying the name or names in which such
holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to
be
issued. In case such notice shall specify a name or names other than that of
such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by (i) payment of any transfer
taxes payable upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in such name or names
and (ii) evidence, satisfactory to the Corporation, that the transfer of such
shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws. As promptly
as
practicable, and in any event within ten (10) business days after the surrender
of such certificates and the receipt of such notice relating thereto and, if
applicable, payment of all transfer taxes, the Corporation shall deliver or
cause to be delivered (i) certificates representing the number of validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock to which the holder
of the Series B Preferred Stock so converted shall be entitled, (ii) any payment
(in either cash of shares of Series B Preferred Stock) required to be made
with
respect to declared but unpaid dividends on the converted shares of Series
B
Preferred Stock, and (iii) if less than the full number of shares of the Series
B Preferred Stock evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates
are
being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the
number of shares evidenced by such surrendered certificate or certificates
less
the number of shares converted. Such conversions shall be deemed to have been
made at the close of business on the date of giving of such notice and of such
surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock to be converted so that the rights of the holder
thereof shall cease except for the right to receive Common Stock and any accrued
dividend in accordance herewith, and the converting holder shall be treated
for
all purposes as having become the record holder of such Common Stock at such
time.
7. CONVERSION
PRICE.
Each
share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted into a number of shares
of
Common Stock determined by dividing (i) $100 by (ii) the Conversion Price of
such shares as in effect on the date of conversion. The initial Conversion
Price
shall be $0.11 per share. The initial Conversion Price shall be subject to
further adjustment as set forth in Paragraph 9 hereof.
8. CONVERSION
PROCEDURE.
Upon any
conversion of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock under Paragraph 6, the
holder of the converted Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
(i) shares of Common Stock in exchange for the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock submitted for, or subject to conversion, and (ii) if applicable, declared
but unpaid dividends in respect of the shares so converted.
9. CONVERSION
PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.
The
initial Conversion Price for each respective issuance of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of certain events as follows:
a. Stock
Dividends, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If
the
Corporation shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the
outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price
in effect at the time of the record date of such dividend or distribution on
the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock surrendered for conversion immediately after such record date shall be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he or she would
have owned or been entitled to receive had such Series B Preferred Stock been
converted immediately prior to such record date. Successive adjustments in
the
Conversion Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall
occur.
b. Other
Distributions. In
case
the Corporation shall hereafter fix a record date for the making of a
distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock, (i) of shares of any
class of capital stock of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock,
or
(ii) of evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation, or (iii) of assets
(excluding cash dividends or distributions, and dividends or distributions
referred to in subparagraph 9a hereof), or (iv) of rights or warrants entitling
the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock;
in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto
shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by dividing
(1)
an amount equal to the difference resulting from (A) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Conversion Price
per share on such record date, less
(B) the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in their reasonable
discretion) of said shares or evidences of indebtedness or assets or rights
or
warrants to be so distributed by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that such distribution is
not
so made, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be readjusted, effective
as
of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such
shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants, as the case
may
be, to the Conversion Price which was in effect prior to the fixing of the
record date (subject to any adjustments made pursuant to this Paragraph 9 since
such record date).
c. Rounding
of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All
calculations under this Paragraph 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or to
the
nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment in the
Conversion Price shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less
than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment
with
respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent
adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts
so
carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.
d. Adjustments
for Consolidation, Merger, etc. In
case
the Corporation, (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other person
and
shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation
or
merger, (ii) shall permit any other person to consolidate with or merge into
the
Corporation and the Corporation shall be the continuing or surviving person,
but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, the Common Stock shall
be
changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other person
or
cash or any other property, or (iii) shall effect a capital reorganization
or
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a capital reorganization or
reclassification resulting in the issue of additional shares of Common stock
for
which adjustment is provided in this Paragraph 9); then, and in each such case,
proper provision shall be made so that each share of Series B Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall be converted into, or exchanged for, one share of
preferred stock of the acquiring corporation entitling the holder thereof to
all
of the rights (including voting rights), powers, privileges and preferences
with
respect to the acquiring corporation to which the holder of a share of Series
B
Preferred Stock is entitled with respect to the Corporation, and being subject
with respect to the acquiring corporation to the qualifications, limitations
and
restrictions to which a share
of
Series B Preferred Stock is subject with respect to the
Corporation.
10. VOLUNTARY
ADJUSTMENT.
The
Corporation may make, but shall not be obligated to make, such decreases in
the
Conversion Price so as to increase the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the Series B Preferred Stock may be converted, in addition to those
required by Paragraph 9 hereof, as it considers to be advisable in order to
avoid federal income tax treatment as a dividend of stock or stock
rights.
11. NOTICE
OF ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.
Whenever
the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall
forthwith file with any transfer agent or agents for the Series B Preferred
Stock, if any, and at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement
signed by the Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President and by
the
Chief Financial Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation setting forth the
adjusted Conversion Price. The statement so filed shall be open to inspection
by
any holder of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation
shall also, at the time of filing any such statement, mail notice to the same
effect to the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock at their addresses
appearing on the books of the Corporation or supplied by such holder to the
Corporation for the purpose of notice.
12. FRACTIONAL
SHARES IN CONVERSION.
The
Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock
on the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock. If any fraction of a share of
Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of a share, except for the
provisions hereof, the Corporation shall purchase such fraction for an amount
in
cash equal to the Conversion Price multiplied by such fraction. If more than
one
certificate for shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be presented for
conversion at any one time by the same registered holder, the number of shares
of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the shares so presented. All calculations under this
Paragraph 13 shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
13. MUTILATED
OR MISSING PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATES.
If any
of the Series B Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen
or
destroyed, the Corporation shall issue, in exchange and substitution for and
upon cancellation of the mutilated Series B Preferred Stock certificate, or
in
lieu of and in substitution for the Series B Preferred Stock certificate lost,
stolen or destroyed, a new Series B Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor
and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
but
only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Series
B Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested by the transfer agent
for the Series B Preferred Stock or the Corporation.
14. REISSUANCE
OF PREFERRED STOCK. Any
shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of
purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be canceled, retired and eliminated
from
the shares of Series B Preferred Stock that the Corporation shall be authorized
to issue. 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 in the Articles of Incorporation or in any Certificate of Designation
creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise
required by law.
15. BUSINESS
DAY.
If any
payment, redemption or exchange shall be required by the terms hereof to be
made
on a day that banks are not open in the State of California, such payment,
redemption or exchange shall be made on the immediately succeeding day on which
such banks are open.
16. HEADINGS
OF SUBDIVISIONS.
The
headings of various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only
and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions
hereof.
17. SEVERABILITY
OF PROVISIONS.
If any
right, preference or limitation of the Series B Preferred Stock set forth in
these resolutions and the Certificate of Designations filed pursuant hereto
(as
such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or
incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy,
all
other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution (as
so
amended) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or
unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in
full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth
shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation
unless so expressed herein.
18. NOTICE
TO THE COMPANY. All
notices and other communications required or permitted to be given to the
Corporation hereunder shall be made by courier to the Corporation at its
principal executive offices located at 6033 W. Century Blvd, Suite 1090, Los
Angeles, 90045, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. Minor imperfections in
any
such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
19. LIMITATIONS.
Except
as
may otherwise be required by law, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall
not have any powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other
special rights other than those specifically set forth in this Certificate
of
Designation or otherwise in the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation.
