(2) it was procured by the defendant without the knowledge of the prosecuting authority and with intent to avoid a more severe sentence that might otherwise have been imposed; or

(3) it resulted in a conviction that was set aside, reversed, vacated, or held invalid in a subsequent proceeding, unless the defendant was adjudged not guilty or ordered discharged.
