SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREPERRED STOCK

of

Layne Christensen Company

(Pursuant to Section 151 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law)

 

          Layne Christensen Company, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that the
fallowing resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as required by
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law at a meeting duly
called and held on October 12, 1998.

          RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of
this Corporation (hereinafter called the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) in accordance with
the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation, the Board of Directors
hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of
the Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative
rights, powers and preferences, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions 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 350,000. Such number of shares may be
increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; 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 prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any class
or series of stock of this Corporation 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 $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of
the Corporation, and of any other stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred 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 the first
day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to
herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date alter 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) $1.00 or (b) 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 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.

     (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A 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); 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 $l.00 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 Act 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:

     (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters
submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. 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 number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by
multiplying such number 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 abates of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

     (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designations
creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital
stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on
all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

     (C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required
(except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth
herein) for taking any corporate action.

     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:

     (i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares
of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock;

     (ii) declare or pay dividends, 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 Preferred Stock, except dividends paid
ratably on the Series A Preferred 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 junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at
any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in
exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (both as to
dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred
Stock; or

     (iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series
A Preferred 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 Preferred 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 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, voluntary or otherwise 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 an amount per share (the “Series A
Liquidation Preference” equal to $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 A 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 (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. 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
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 are outstanding immediately prior
to such event.

     (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 classes and series of stock of the Corporation, if any, that rank on a parity with
the Series A Preferred Stock in respect thereof. then the assets available for such
distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and
the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.

     (C) Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another
corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the
Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation within the meaning of this Section 6.

          Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. 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 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) info 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.

 

 

          Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be
redeemable by the Company.

          Section 9. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment
of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, junior to
all series of any other class of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, except to the extent that any
such other series specifically provides that it shall rank on a parity with or junior to the Series
A Preferred Stock.

          Section 10. Amendment. At any time any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding, 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 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 separately as a
single class.

          Section 11. Fractional Shares. Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of
a share that shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s 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 Preferred Stock.

 

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designation is executed on behalf of the Corporation
by its Chairman of the Board this 6th day of November, 1998.
