Hauptfuhrer and Frank B. Sweeney, being the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Corporate Secretary, respectively, of Oryx Energy Company, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("Corporation") in accordance with the provisions of sections 103 and 151 thereof, DO HEREBY CERTIFY: That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting duly called and held on September 11, 1990, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout, duly adopted the following resolution creating a series of shares of Preference Stock, par value of $1.00 per share, designated. "Series A Junior Cumulative Preference Stock": RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issue of a series of Preference Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Corporation, to be designated "Series A Junior Cumulative Preference Stock" (hereinafter referred to as the "Series A Preference Stock"), and to the extent that the designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preference Stock are not stated and expressed in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, does hereby fix and herein state and express such designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as follows (all terms used herein which are defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to have the meanings provided therein): Series A Preference Stock Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A Junior Cumulative Preference Stock" and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 120,000. Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preference Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preference Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preference Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Shares"), 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 legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on March 10, June 10, September 10, and December 10 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 Preference Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $2.50 or (b) the Antidilution Number (as hereafter defined) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends and the Antidilution Number times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in Common Shares or a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) declared on the Common Shares 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 Preference Stock. The "Antidilution Number" shall initially be 1,000. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after September 11, 1990 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Antidilution Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying the Antidilution Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preference Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Shares (other than a dividend payable in Common Shares); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Shares during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $2.50 per share on the Series A Preference 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 Preference Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Preference Stock, unless the issue date of such shares is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preference 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 Preference 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 Preference Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preference Stock shall have the following voting rights: (A) Each share of Series A Preference Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, by law or in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preference Stock and the holders of Common Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. (C) Except as set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series A Preference Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required for taking any corporate action. Section 4. Certain Restrictions. (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preference 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 Preference Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preference Stock; (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preference Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preference Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled, (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preference Stock, provided that the corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such jparity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking *un*or (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preference Stock; or (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preference Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preference Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (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 Preference Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preference Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preference Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preference Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distribution thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A Preference Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of Common Shares shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Series A Liquidation Preference by the Antidilution Number. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series A Preference Stock and Common Shares, respectively, holders of Series A Preference Stock and holders of Common Shares shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Antidilution Number to one with respect to such Preference Stock and Common Shares, on a per share basis, respectively. (B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the" Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preference stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series A Preference Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Shares. Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the Common Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series A Preference Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to the Antidilution Number 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 Common Share is changed or exchanged. Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preference Stock shall not be redeemable. Section 9. Ranking. The Series A Preference Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preference Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise. Section 10. Fractional Shares. Series A Preference Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holders fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preference Stock.
