Such dividends shall be cumulative from the Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends, and shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, in arrears on Dividend Payment Dates, commencing on May 1, 1993. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on such record dates, which shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

The amount of dividends payable for the initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter or longer than a full Dividend Period, on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series A Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.
3.3 So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, except as described in the next succeeding sentence, shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series A Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of the dividend on such class or series of parity stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of stock ranking on a parity as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated and unpaid on the Series A Preferred Stock and accumulated and unpaid on such parity stock.
3.4 So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than (i) the Rights and (ii) dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other distribution declared or made upon Junior Stock, nor shall any Junior Stock or any series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with Series A Preferred Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock), unless in each case the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid or set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and all past dividend periods with respect to such parity stock.
Section 4. Payments upon Liquidation.
4.1 In the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive One Hundred Dollars ($100) per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the ''Stated Value'') plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders (the ''Voluntary Liquidation Preference''); but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. In the event of any involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Stock, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the ''Involuntary Liquidation Preference'') equal to the Voluntary Liquidation Preference or, in the event the Corporation's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains an Aggregate Involuntary Liquidation Amount, the lesser of (i) the Voluntary Liquidation Preference or (ii) an amount equal to the product of (a) the Voluntary Liquidation Preference and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Aggregate Involuntary Liquidation Amount less the aggregate maximum amounts distributable upon liquidation of all classes or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, prior to the Series A Preferred Stock and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the voluntary liquidation preference (including accrued dividends) of all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock; but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the Voluntary Liquidation Preference or the Involuntary Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, and the liquidation preference on all other shares of any class or series of stock ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any such other stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more corporations, or (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.
4.2 Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with or prior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, as and to the fullest extent provided in this Section 4, any other series or class or classes of Junior Stock shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.
Section 5. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.
5.1 The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Corporation by resolution of its Board of Directors, in whole, or, from time to time, in part, at any time on or after May 1, 1996, at the following redemption prices per share, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning May 1 of the year indicated below, plus, in each case, all dividends accrued and unpaid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock up to the date fixed for the redemption, upon giving notice as provided hereinbelow:
| 1996 | |
| 1997 | |
| 1998 | |
| 1999 | |
| 2000 | |
| 2001 | |
| 2002 | |
| 2003 and thereafter |
5.2 If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall be determined pro rata or by lot or in such other manner and subject to such regulations as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall prescribe.
5.3 At least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for the redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a written notice shall be mailed in a postage prepaid envelope to each holder of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such holder at his post office address as shown on the records of the Corporation, notifying such holder of the election of the Corporation to redeem such shares, stating the date fixed for redemption thereof (the ''Redemption Date''), and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, on the Redemption Date at the place designated in such notice, his certificate or certificates representing the number of shares specified in such notice of redemption.
On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender his certificate or certificates for such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and thereupon the redemption price of such shares shall be paid to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In case less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
From and after the Redemption Date (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in payment of the redemption price), all dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption in such notice shall cease to accrue, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation, except the right to receive the redemption price of such shares (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption Date) upon the surrender of certificates representing the same, shall cease and terminate and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Corporation) on the books of the Corporation, and such shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. At its election, the Corporation, prior to the Redemption Date, may deposit the redemption price (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption Date) of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption in trust for the holders thereof with a bank or trust company (having a capital surplus and undivided profits aggregating not less than $50,000,000) in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, or in any other city in which the Corporation at the time shall maintain a transfer agency with respect to such shares, in which case the aforesaid notice to holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall state the date of such deposit, shall specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place of payment of the redemption price, and shall call upon such holders to surrender the certificates representing such shares at such place on or after the date fixed in such redemption notice (which shall not be later than the Redemption Date) against payment of the redemption price (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption Date). Any interest accrued on such funds shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. Any moneys so deposited which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the end of two years after the Redemption Date shall be returned by such bank or trust company to the Corporation.
If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Section 5 and any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall, prior to the close of business on the day preceding the Redemption Date, give written notice to the Corporation pursuant to Section 7 below of the conversion of any or all of the shares to be redeemed held by such holder (accompanied by a certificate or certificates for such shares, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation, and any necessary transfer tax payment, as required by Section 7 below), then such redemption shall not become effective as to such shares to be converted, such conversion shall become effective as provided in Section 7 below, and any moneys set aside by the Corporation for the redemption of such shares of converted Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation.
Section 6. Shares to be Retired. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (excluding, until the Corporation elects to retire them, shares which are held as treasury shares) shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Serial Preferred Stock, without designation as to series.
Section 7. Conversion. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Common Stock, as follows:
7.1 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 7, a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at his or her option, at any time after 40 days after the Issue Date, to convert such shares into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the aggregate Stated Value of such shares by the Conversion Price (as in effect on the date provided for in the last paragraph of Section 7.2) by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in Section 7.2; provided, however, that the right to convert shares called for redemption pursuant to Section 5 shall terminate at the close of business on the day preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Corporation shall default in making payment of the cash payable upon such redemption under Section 5 hereof. Certificates will be issued for the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock in any case in which fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted.
7.2 In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert Series A Preferred Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid).
Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment record date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date. However, shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of business on any dividend payment record date and the opening of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date (except shares converted after the issuance of a notice of redemption with respect to a Redemption Date during such period, which shall be entitled to such dividend on the Dividend Payment Date) must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend Payment Date. A holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a dividend payment record date who (or whose transferee) tenders any such shares for conversion into shares of Common Stock on such Dividend Payment Date will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock on such date, and the converting holder need not include payment of the amount of such dividend upon surrender of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion. Except as provided above, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion.
As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on his or her written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with provisions of this Section 7, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 7.3.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and if applicable, payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation.
7.3 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one share shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered.
7.4 The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(b) If the Corporation shall issue after the Issue Date rights or warrants (in each case, other than the Rights) to all holders of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day next following such record date shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day next following the date fixed for such determination by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of shares that the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights or warrants for Common Stock would purchase at such Fair Market Value, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next following such record date (except as provided in Section 7.8 below). In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Fair Market Value, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation upon issuance and upon exercise of such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) If the Corporation shall distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Common Stock) or evidence of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from profits or surplus of the Corporation) or rights or warrants (in each case, other than the Rights) to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants issued to all holders of Common Stock entitling them for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date referred to in subparagraph (b) above to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, which rights and warrants are referred to in and treated under subparagraph (b) above (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this subparagraph (c) called the ''Securities''), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying (I) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately at the opening of business on the Business Day next following (except as provided in Section 7.8 below) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. For the purposes of this clause (c), the distribution of a Security, which is distributed not only to the holders of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution of such security, but also is distributed with each share of Common Stock delivered to a person converting a share of Series A Preferred Stock after such determination date, shall not require an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this clause (c); provided that on the date, if any, on which a Person converting a share of Series A Preferred Stock would no longer be entitled to receive such Security with a share of Common Stock (other than as a result of the termination of all such Securities), a distribution of such Securities shall be deemed to have occurred and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this clause (c) (and such day shall be deemed to be ''the date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution'' and ''the record date'' within the meaning of the two preceding sentences).
(d) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subparagraph (d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided, further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 (other than this subparagraph (d)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends on securities of the Corporation. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest 1/10 of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7.4, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
7.6 If:
(b) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants (other than the Rights) to subscribe for or purchase any shares of any class or any other rights or warrants (other than the Rights); or
(c) there shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than an event to which Section 7.4(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or
(d) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
7.7 Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly file with the Transfer Agent an officer's certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment which certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Corporation shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date of such adjustment and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock at such holder's last address as shown on the stock records of the Corporation.
7.8 In any case in which Section 7.4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event
(A) issuing to the holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 7.3.
7.9 For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not pay a dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation.
7.10 There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section 7. If any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section 7, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value.
7.11 If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 7, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
7.12 The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock not theretofore converted. For purposes of this Section 7.12, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.
The Corporation covenants that any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then-par value of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, may be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
The Corporation shall endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery.
Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
7.13 The Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting any issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
Section 8. Ranking. Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:
(B) on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Series A Preferred Stock if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other; and
(C) junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if such stock or series shall be Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such stock or series. Common Stock shall be deemed junior to the Series A Preferred Stock notwithstanding that it may participate in distributions upon an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up without the Series A Preferred Stock receiving the Voluntary Liquidation Preference.
9.1 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3 % of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all other affected series of Serial Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose, at which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such other series of Serial Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class without regard to series, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of this Restated Certificate or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights or any similar document relating to any series of Serial Preferred Stock) which would materially adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of this Restated Certificate so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, any Junior Stock or any shares of any class ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of Series A Preferred Stock; and provided, further, that the amendment of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation so as to increase or eliminate the Aggregate Involuntary Liquidation Amount shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of Series A Preferred Stock.
9.2 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3 % of all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all other series of Serial Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such other series of Serial Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class without regard to series, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issuance of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares.
9.3 If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors a default in preference dividends (as defined below) on the Series A Preferred Stock and any other series of Serial Preferred Stock with respect to which such a default exists shall exist, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be increased by two, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and such other series shall have the right at such meeting, voting together as a single class without regard to series, to the exclusion of the holders of common stock, to elect two directors of the Corporation to fill such newly created directorships. Such right shall continue until there are no dividends in arrears upon the Serial Preferred Stock. Any Preferred Director may be removed by, and shall not be removed except by, the vote of the holders of record of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class without regard to series, at a meeting of the stockholders, or of the holders of shares of Serial Preferred Stock as to which a default exists, called for the purpose. So long as a default in any preference dividends on the Serial Preferred Stock shall exist, (a) any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled (except as provided in the following clause (b)) by an instrument in writing signed by the remaining Preferred Director and filed with the Corporation and (b) in the case of the removal of any Preferred Director, the vacancy may be filled by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock as to which a default exists, voting together as a single class without regard to series, at the same meeting at which such removal shall be voted. Each director appointed as aforesaid by the remaining Preferred Director shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof, to be a Preferred Director. Whenever a default in preference dividends shall no longer exist, the term of office of each Preferred Director shall terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be reduced by two. For the purposes hereof, a ''default in preference dividends'' on any series of Serial Preferred Stock shall be deemed to exist whenever the equivalent of six quarterly dividends have not been declared and paid or set apart for payment, whether or not consecutive, and, having so occurred, such default shall be deemed to exist thereafter until, but only until, all accrued dividends on all shares of Serial Preferred Stock of each and every series then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment to the end of the last preceding dividend period.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.
Section 10. Record Holders. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

3.2 The amount of dividends payable for each full Dividend Period for the Series B Preferred Stock shall be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four. The amount of dividends payable for the initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter or longer than a full Dividend Period, on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of twelve-30-day months and a 360-day year. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series B Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.
3.3 So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, except as described in the next succeeding sentence, shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series B Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of the dividend on such class or series of parity stock. When dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and all dividends declared upon any other class or series of stock ranking on a parity as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated and unpaid on the Series B Preferred Stock and accumulated and unpaid on such parity stock.
3.4 So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than (i) the Rights and (ii) dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any class or series of stock of the Corporation that is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other distribution declared or made upon any class or series of stock of the Corporation that is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, nor shall any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except by conversion into or exchange for any class or series of stock of the Corporation that is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), unless in each case the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid or set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock and all past dividend periods with respect to such parity stock.
Section 4. Payments upon Liquidation.
4.1 In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the receipt of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) per share of Series B Preferred Stock plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders (the ''Liquidation Preference''); but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preference on all other shares of any class or series of stock ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, neither (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations nor (ii) a sale, lease, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.
4.2 Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with or prior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, as and to the fullest extent provided in this Section 4, any other class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.
Section 5. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation.
5.1 The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the Corporation by resolution of its Board of Directors, in whole, or, from time to time, in part, at any time on or after July 12, 2004, at the redemption price of $25,000.00 per share plus all dividends accrued and unpaid on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock up to the date fixed for the redemption, upon giving notice as provided herein below.
5.2 If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall be determined pro rata or by lot or in such other manner and subject to such regulations as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall prescribe.
5.3 At least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for the redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a written notice shall be mailed in a postage prepaid envelope to each holder of record of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such holder at his post office address as shown on the records of the Corporation, notifying such holder of the election of the Corporation to redeem such shares, stating the date fixed for redemption thereof (the ''Redemption Date'') and calling upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, on the Redemption Date at the place designated in such notice, the certificate or certificates representing the number of shares specified in such notice of redemption. On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender such certificate or certificates for such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and thereupon the redemption price of such shares shall be paid to or on the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In case less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the shares not redeemed.
From and after the Redemption Date (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in payment of the redemption price), all dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated for redemption in such notice shall cease to accrue, and all rights of the holders thereof as stockholders of the Corporation, except the right to receive the redemption price of such shares (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption Date) upon the surrender of certificates representing the same, shall cease and terminate and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred (except with the consent of the Corporation) on the books of the Corporation, and such shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. At its election, the Corporation, prior to the Redemption Date, may deposit the redemption price (including all accrued and unpaid dividends up to the Redemption Date) of shares of Series B Preferred Stock called for redemption in trust for the holders thereof with a bank or trust company (having a capital surplus and undivided profits aggregating not less than $50,000,000) in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, or in any other city in which the Corporation at the time shall maintain a transfer agency with respect to such shares, in which case the aforesaid notice to holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall state the date of such deposit, shall specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place of payment of the redemption price, and shall call upon such holders to surrender the certificates representing such shares at such place on or after the date fixed in such redemption notice (which shall not be later than the Redemption Date). Any interest accrued on such funds shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. Any moneys so deposited that shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the end of two years after the Redemption Date shall be returned by such bank or trust company to the Corporation.
Section 6. Shares to be Retired.
All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (excluding, until the Corporation elects to retire them, shares that are held as treasury shares) shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Serial Preferred Stock, without designation as to series.
Section 7. Ranking.
7.1 Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:
(b) on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Series B Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other; and
(c) junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series.
Section 8. Voting.
8.1 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3 % of all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of this Restated Certificate or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights or any similar document relating to any series of Serial Preferred Stock) that would materially adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided that the amendment of the provisions of this Restated Certificate so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of Series B Preferred Stock.
8.2 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3 % of all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the creation, authorization or issue of any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issuance of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares.
8.3 If at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors a default in preference dividends (as defined below) on the Series B Preferred Stock and any other series of Serial Preferred Stock with respect to which such a default exists shall exist, then (without duplication of the provisions of Article FOURTH, Part 1.A, Section 9.3 of this Restated Certificate) the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be increased by two, and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and such other series shall have the right at such meeting, voting together as a single class without regard to series, to the exclusion of the holders of common stock, to elect two directors of the Corporation to fill such newly created directorships. Such right shall continue until there are no dividends in arrears upon the Serial Preferred Stock. Any Preferred Director may be removed by, and shall not be removed except by, the vote of the holders of record of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class without regard to series, at a meeting of the stockholders, or of the holders of shares of Serial Preferred Stock as to which a default exists, called for the purpose. So long as a default in any preference dividends on the Serial Preferred Stock shall exist, (a) any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled (except as provided in the following clause (b)) by an instrument in writing signed by the remaining Preferred Director and filed with the Corporation and (b) in the case of the removal of any Preferred Director, the vacancy may be filled by the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Serial Preferred Stock as to which a default exist, voting together as a single class without regard to series, at the same meeting at which such removal shall be voted. Each director appointed as aforesaid by the remaining Preferred Director shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof, to be a Preferred Director. Whenever a default in preference dividends shall no longer exist, the term of office of each Preferred Director shall terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be reduced by two. For the purposes hereof, a ''default in preference dividends'' on any series of Serial Preferred Stock shall be deemed to exist whenever the equivalent of six quarterly dividends have not been declared and paid or set apart for payment, whether or not consecutive, and, having so occurred, such default shall be deemed to exist thereafter until, but only until, all accrued dividends on all shares of Serial Preferred Stock of each and every series then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment to the end of the last preceding dividend period.
8.4 For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have one thousand (1,000) votes per share. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.
Section 9. Record Holders. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
C. DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES C JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
Unless otherwise indicated, any reference in this Article FOURTH, Part I.C to ''Section'', ''Subsection'', ''paragraph'', ''subparagraph'' or ''clause'' shall refer to a Section, Subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause of this Article FOURTH, Part I.C.
Section 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 such series shall be 1,250,000.
Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. The holders of shares of Series C 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 fifteenth day of January, April, July and October 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 (a) $10 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, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation (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 Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or 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 then outstanding 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.
The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series C Preferred Stock as provided in 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 $10.00 per share on the Series C Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
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 of Series C Preferred Stock, 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 no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
3.1 Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series C 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 Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or 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 C Preferred Stock then outstanding 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 shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
3.2 Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.
3.3 If the equivalent of six quarterly dividends payable on the Series C Preferred Stock or any other series of Serial Preferred Stock of the Corporation are in default, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be increased by two and the holders of all such series in respect of which such a default exists, voting as a class without regard to series, will be entitled to elect two additional directors at the next annual meeting and each subsequent meeting, until all cumulative dividends have been paid in full or until noncumulative dividends have been paid regularly for at least one year.
3.4 Except as set forth herein, holders of Series C 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.
4.1 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) 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 C Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series C 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;
(c) 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 C Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior as to dividends and as to distributions upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up to the Series C Preferred Stock; or
(d) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series C 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.
Section 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 Serial Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of the Serial Preferred 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. Subject to (a) the rights of the holders of preferred stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to dividends and amounts payable upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and (b) any other provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended from time to time, the ''Restated Certificate''), upon any voluntary or involuntary 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 any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have received $100.00 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 Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series C Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series C Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or 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 then outstanding 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 were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
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 the shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding 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 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 Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or 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.
Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.
Section 9. Ranking. The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's preferred stock, whether now or hereafter outstanding, as to dividends and amounts payable upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.
Section 10. Amendment. The Restated Certificate 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 two-thirds or more of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.

Section 4. Payments upon Liquidation.
4.1 In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock or fractions thereof shall be entitled to receive the Redemption Consideration per 1/1,000th of a share of Series D Preferred Stock (the ''Liquidation Preference''); but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and fractions thereof shall be insufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference, and the liquidation preference on all other shares of any class or series of stock ranking, as to dividends and amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock or fractions thereof and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Series D Preferred Stock or fractions thereof and any such other parity stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, neither (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations nor (ii) a sale, lease, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.

Section 5. Shares to be Retired. All shares of Series D Preferred Stock and fractions thereof that shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation (excluding, until the Corporation elects to retire them, shares that are held as treasury shares) shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Serial Preferred Stock, without designation as to series.

If for any reason the Corporation is not able to redeem any portion of the Series D Preferred Stock so issued, such shares and fractions thereof that remain outstanding shall continue to exist and remain outstanding and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Redemption Consideration as soon as the Corporation is legally and hereunder permitted to redeem such shares and fractions thereof.
At the time of the redemption pursuant to this Section 6, the rights of holders of Series D Preferred Stock so redeemed shall cease with respect to such shares or fractions thereof (except the right to receive cash as provided above), and the person entitled to receive the cash upon redemption shall be treated for all purposes as the owner of such cash as of the date of such redemption.
With respect to any shares of the Series D Preferred Stock or fractions thereof that are redeemed by the Corporation immediately following the issuance thereof, the Corporation need not distribute a certificate to the person otherwise entitled to receive such shares or fractions thereof but may instead distribute the Redemption Consideration to such person or persons directly. If certificates representing shares of the Series D Preferred Stock or fractions thereof are issued, the Corporation may require the surrender of such certificates as a condition precedent to the issuance of the Redemption Consideration.
Section 7. Ranking.
7.1 Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:
(b) on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Series D Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class of stock or series and the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other; and
(c) junior to the Series D Preferred Stock, as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. For each matter as to which shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have voting rights, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share.
Section 9. Record Holders.

Such Participating Dividends shall be cumulative from March 31, 2000, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such Participating Dividends and whether or not the Board of Directors shall have declared such Participating Dividends, and shall be payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, in arrears on Dividend Payment Dates. Each such Participating Dividend shall be payable in arrears to the holders of record of shares of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on such record dates, which shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the Dividend Payment Dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. Accrued and unpaid Participating Dividends for any past Dividend Periods may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on such date, not exceeding 45 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Holders of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the cumulative Participating Dividend provided in the Section 3.1 and shall not be entitled to any other dividends in excess thereof. In the event that an adjustment is made pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 6.4(d) with respect to shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock converted during the applicable Dividend Period, the amount of Participating Dividend to be paid in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the (x) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such converted shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock would have been converted in the absence of such adjustment and (y) the amount of the cash dividend or distributions per share of Common Stock in respect of which such adjustment was made.
3.2 Except as provided in Section 3.1, holders of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of cumulative Participating Dividends, as herein provided, on the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any Participating Dividend payment or payments on the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.
3.3 So long as any shares of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends, except as described in the next succeeding sentence, shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends for any period unless full cumulative Participating Dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of the dividends on such class or series of parity stock. When Participating Dividends are not paid in full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends declared upon the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock and such parity stock shall be declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of Participating Dividends accumulated and unpaid on the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock and dividends accumulated and unpaid on such parity stock.
3.4 So long as any shares of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than (i) the Rights and (ii) dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants, or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any class or series of stock of the Corporation that is junior to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends) shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment or other distribution declared or made upon any class or series of stock of the Corporation that is junior to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, nor shall any other class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends or as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Corporation, directly to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), unless in each case the full cumulative Participating Dividends on all outstanding shares of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been paid or set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with respect to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock and such parity stock.
Section 4. Payments upon Liquidation.
4.1 In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for payment to the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the sum of (a) the result of dividing (i) the Purchase Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to Section 1 of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 25, 1994, as amended, between the Corporation and State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee for the UAL Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the ''Agreement''), a copy of which is on file in the office of the Secretary of the Corporation) of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to Section 1 of the Agreement by (ii) the number of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to Section 1 of the Agreement and (b) an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders (collectively, the ''Liquidation Preference''), but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preference on all other shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks on a parity with the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations, or (ii) a sale, lease, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.
4.2 Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of stock ranking prior to or on a parity with the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made to the holders of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, as and to the fullest extent provided in this Section 4, any other class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.
Section 5. Shares to be Retired. All shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be retired and shall not be reissued.
Section 6. Conversion. Holders of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Common Stock as follows:
6.1 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 6, a holder of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, at any time and from time to time, to convert all or any of such shares into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a rate of one share of Common Stock for one share of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 6 (as so adjusted, the ''Conversion Rate'') by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in Section 6.2. Certificates shall be issued for the remaining shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock if fewer than all of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted.
6.2 In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid or that no such taxes are payable).
Holders of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment record date. The Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion.
As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with provisions of this Section 6, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 6.3.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and if applicable, payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation.
6.3 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one certificate shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock so surrendered.
6.4 The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(b) In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue Equity Securities (other than Common Stock and the Rights) (the ''Issued Equity Securities'') to all holders of shares of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase (whether by exercise, conversion, exchange or otherwise) shares of Common Stock (or other Equity Securities) at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (or the other Equity Security to be acquired) at such record date (treating the price per share of the Equity Securities to be acquired as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of the consideration payable for a unit of the Equity Security plus (ii) the Fair Market Value of any additional consideration initially payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such security into Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying or that may be acquired upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Equity Security), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such Issued Equity Securities by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such Issued Equity Securities plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (including, without limitation, the security underlying or that may be acquired upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of the Equity Securities so offered) and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such Issued Equity Securities plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (including, without limitation, the Fair Market Value of the consideration payable for a unit of the Equity Securities so offered plus the Fair Market Value of any additional consideration payable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Equity Securities) would purchase at such Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the record date for such issuance. Such adjustment shall become effective as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such Issued Equity Securities (except as provided in Section 6.6 below).
(c) In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to any Rights, Equity Securities issued in connection with any employee or director incentive or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary or any Equity Security theretofore outstanding entitling the holder to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange less than the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such issuance, sale or exchange shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange multiplied by (ii) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such day plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or exchanged by the Corporation, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of all the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange plus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issuance, sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock. In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange any Equity Security (other than any Rights, Equity Securities issued in connection with any employee or director incentive or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary or Common Stock) other than any such issuance to all holders of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution (including by way of a reclassification of shares or a recapitalization of the Corporation) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange less than the Non-Dilutive Amount, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange multiplied by (ii) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such day plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying or which could be acquired pursuant to such Equity Security at the time of the issuance, sale or exchange of such Equity Security (assuming shares of Common Stock could be acquired pursuant to such Equity Security at such time), and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of all the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange plus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issuance, sale or exchange of such Equity Security plus (iii) the Fair Market Value as of the time of such issuance of the consideration which the Corporation would receive upon exercise, conversion or exchange in full of all such Equity Securities.
(d) In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, make an Extraordinary Distribution in respect of the Common Stock or effect a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Dividend or Pro Rata Repurchase (minus, in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase, the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation) multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the record date with respect to such Extraordinary Distribution or on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect a Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the record date with respect to such Extraordinary Distribution, or on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect a Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be, minus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Extraordinary Distribution or the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be (provided that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); provided, however, that no Pro Rata Repurchase shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate unless the amount of all case dividends and distributions made to holders of Common Stock during the period from the most recent Extraordinary Distribution Measuring Date preceding the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase, when combined with the aggregate amount of all Pro Rata Repurchases, including such Pro Rata Repurchase (for all purposes of this Section 7.4(d), including only that portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate purchase price of each Pro Rata Repurchase which is in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock repurchased as determined on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect each such Pro Rata Repurchase), the Effective Dates of which fall within such period, exceeds twelve and one-half percent (12 1/2%) of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Corporation or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such Extraordinary Distribution or immediately after the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase.
Solely as an adjustment applicable to shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock that are being converted into Common Stock as of a given date, and not as a permanent adjustment to the Conversion Rate, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such conversion shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such conversion multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such conversion, and the denominator of which shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such conversion multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such conversion minus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the cash dividends and distributions made on or before the date of such conversion with a record date after the most recent Extraordinary Distribution Measuring Date upon which Participating Dividends were paid in full, but only to the extent that such cash dividends and distributions (a) would entitle the holders of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding on such conversion date to a dividend under Section 3.1 that has not been paid and (b) would not constitute an Extraordinary Distribution (provided that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0).
(e) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 0.01% in such rate; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this subparagraph (e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided further that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4 (other than this subparagraph (e)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustments of the Conversion Rate for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends on securities of the Corporation so long as the holders of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate therein on substantially the same terms as holders of Common Stock. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward), one-tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward) or, in the case of the Conversion Rate, one hundred millionth of a share (with .000000005 being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Section 6.4, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
(b) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Common Stock of Equity Securities (other than Common Stock) to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Security; or
(c) there shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than an event to which Section 6.4(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or
(d) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or
(e) there shall occur any Pro Rata Repurchase,
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of shares of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock at their addresses as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, but at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of Equity Securities, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or granting of Equity Securities are to be determined, (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (C) the number of shares subject to such offer for a Pro Rata Repurchase and the purchase price payable by the Corporation pursuant to such offer. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 6.
6.7 In any case in which Section 6.4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 6.3.
6.8 For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary. The Corporation shall not pay a dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation.
6.9 There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Rate in case of the issuance of any stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in Section 6 or Section 7. If any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section 6, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value.
6.10 If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 6, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate for the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
6.11 The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock not theretofore converted. For purposes of this Section 6.11, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.
The Corporation covenants that any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

4.1 In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for payment to the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the sum of (a) the result of dividing (i) the Purchase Price (as defined in and determined pursuant to Section 1 of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 25, 1994, as amended, between the Corporation and State Street Bank and Trust Company as trustee for the UAL Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the ''Agreement''), a copy of which is on file in the office of the Secretary of the Corporation) of the shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to Section 1 of the Agreement by (ii) the number of shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to Section 1 of the Agreement and (b) an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders (collectively, the ''Liquidation Preference''), but such holders shall not be entitled to any further payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preference on all other shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks on a parity with the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other parity stock if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 4, (i) a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations, or (ii) a sale, lease, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Corporation.
4.2 Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of stock ranking prior to or on a parity with the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made to the holders of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, as and to the fullest extent provided in this Section 4, any other class or series of stock of the Corporation that ranks junior to the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as to amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.
Section 5. Shares to be Retired. All shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be retired and shall not be reissued.
Section 6. Conversion. Holders of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or a portion of such shares into shares of Common Stock as follows:
6.1 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 6, a holder of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder's option, at any time and from time to time, to convert all or any of such shares into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a rate of one share of Common Stock for one share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 6 (as so adjusted, the ''Conversion Rate'') by surrendering such shares to be converted, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in Section 6.2. Certificates shall be issued for the remaining shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock if fewer than all of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted.
6.2 In order to exercise the conversion right, the holder of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, accompanied by written notice to the Corporation that the holder thereof elects to convert Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock is registered, each share surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid or that no such taxes are payable).
Holders of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof following such dividend payment record date. The Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion.
As promptly as practicable after the surrender of certificates for shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation shall issue and shall deliver at such office to such holder, or on such holder's written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares in accordance with provisions of this Section 6, and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 6.3.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the certificates for shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been surrendered and such notice (and if applicable, payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares) received by the Corporation as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time on such date and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time on such date, unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such shares shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Corporation.
6.3 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one certificate shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock so surrendered.
6.4 The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(b) In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue Equity Securities (other than Common Stock and the Rights) (the ''Issued Equity Securities'') to all holders of shares of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase (whether by exercise, conversion, exchange or otherwise) shares of Common Stock (or other Equity Securities) at a price per share less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (or the other Equity Security to be acquired) at such record date (treating the price per share of the Equity Securities to be acquired as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of the consideration payable for a unit of the Equity Security plus (ii) the Fair Market Value of any additional consideration initially payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such security into Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying or that may be acquired upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Equity Security), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such Issued Equity Securities by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such Issued Equity Securities plus (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase (including, without limitation, the security underlying or that may be acquired upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of the Equity Securities so offered) and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such Issued Equity Securities plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (including, without limitation, the Fair Market Value of the consideration payable for a unit of the Equity Securities so offered plus the Fair Market Value of any additional consideration payable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of such Equity Securities) would purchase at such Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the record date for such issuance. Such adjustment shall become effective as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such Issued Equity Securities (except as provided in Section 6.6 below).
(c) In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to any Rights, Equity Securities issued in connection with any employee or director incentive or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary or any Equity Security theretofore outstanding entitling the holder to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange less than the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such issuance, sale or exchange shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange multiplied by (ii) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such day plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or exchanged by the Corporation, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of all the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange plus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issuance, sale or exchange of shares of Common Stock. In case the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange any Equity Security (other than any Rights, Equity Securities issued in connection with any employee or director incentive or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary or Common Stock) other than any such issuance to all holders of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution (including by way of a reclassification of shares or a recapitalization of the Corporation) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange less than the Non-Dilutive Amount, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange multiplied by (ii) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such day plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying or which could be acquired pursuant to such Equity Security at the time of the issuance, sale or exchange of such Equity Security (assuming shares of Common Stock could be acquired pursuant to such Equity Security at such time), and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (i) the Fair Market Value of all the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange plus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issuance, sale or exchange of such Equity Security plus (iii) the Fair Market Value as of the time of such issuance of the consideration which the Corporation would receive upon exercise, conversion or exchange in full of all such Equity Securities.
(e) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 0.01% in such rate; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this subparagraph (e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided further that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4 (other than this subparagraph (e)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustments of the Conversion Rate for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends on securities of the Corporation so long as the holders of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate therein on substantially the same terms as holders of Common Stock. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward), one-tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward) or, in the case of the Conversion Rate, one hundred millionth of a share (with .000000005 being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Section 6.4, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation to its stockholders shall not be taxable.
(b) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the holders of the Common Stock of Equity Securities (other than Common Stock) to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Security; or
(c) there shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than an event to which Section 6.4(a) applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Corporation is required, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety; or
(d) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; or
(e) there shall occur any Pro Rata Repurchase,
then the Corporation shall cause to be filed with the Transfer Agent and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of shares of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock at their addresses as shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, but at least 10 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or granting of Equity Securities, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or granting of Equity Securities are to be determined, (B) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (C) the number of shares subject to such offer for a Pro Rata Repurchase and the purchase price payable by the Corporation pursuant to such offer. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in this Section 6.
6.7 In any case in which Section 6.4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next following a record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder of any share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 6.3.
6.8 For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include any shares of Common Stock then owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary. The Corporation shall not pay a dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation.
6.9 There shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Rate in case of the issuance of any stock of the Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in Section 6 or Section 7. If any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section 6, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value.
6.10 If the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Stock, other than action described in this Section 6, that in the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate for the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.
6.11 The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock not theretofore converted. For purposes of this Section 6.11, the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.
The Corporation covenants that any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The Corporation shall endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) required to be delivered upon conversion of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding Common Stock (or other securities) is listed at the time of such delivery.
Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
6.12 The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock pursuant hereto; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting any such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
6.13 If, prior to the Distribution Date (as defined for purposes of the Rights), the Corporation shall issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as contemplated by this Section 6, the Corporation shall issue together with each such share of Common Stock that number of Rights as are then issuable, pursuant to the Rights Agreement (or any successor rights plan or plans adopted in replacement of the Rights Agreement), per share of such Common Stock so issued, but only if at such time such Rights or rights are, pursuant to the relevant rights agreement, to be represented by certificates representing shares of Common Stock and have not expired.
Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc.
7.1 In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are to be exchanged solely for or changed, reclassified or converted solely into stock of any successor or resulting or other company (including the Corporation) that constitutes ''qualifying employer securities'' with respect to holders of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock within the meaning of Section 409(l) of the Code and Section 407(d)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any successor provisions of law, and, if applicable, for a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if any, proper provisions shall be made so that upon consummation of such transaction, the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for preferred stock of such successor or resulting or other company, having in respect of such company, the same powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights (including the rights provided by this Section 7), and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, that the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock had, in respect of the Corporation, immediately prior to such transaction, except that after such transaction each share of preferred stock of the surviving or resulting or other company so received in such transaction upon conversion or exchange of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be convertible, otherwise on the terms and conditions provided by Section 6 hereof, into the number and kind of ''qualifying employer securities'' receivable in such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction; provided, however, that if by virtue of the structure of such transaction, a holder of Common Stock is required to make an election with respect to the nature and kind of consideration to be received in such transaction, which election cannot practicably be made by the holders of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, then the shares of preferred stock of the surviving or resulting or other company received in such transaction upon conversion or exchange of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall, by virtue of such transaction and on the same terms as apply to the holders of Common Stock, be convertible into or exchangeable solely for ''qualifying employer securities'' (together, if applicable, with a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) with the effect provided above on the basis of the number and kind of qualifying employer securities receivable in such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of qualifying employer securities receivable in such transaction is not the same for each such share of Common Stock, then the kind and amount so receivable in such transaction for each share of Common Stock for this purpose shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by the plurality of such shares of Common Stock). The rights of the preferred stock of such successor or resulting or other company so received in such transaction upon conversion or exchange of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall successively be subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 6 hereof following such transaction as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for by such Sections prior to such transaction.
7.2 In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are to be exchanged for or changed, reclassified or converted into other stock or securities or cash or any other property, or any combination thereof, other than any such consideration which is constituted solely of ''qualifying employer securities'' (as referred to in Section 7.1) and cash payments, if applicable, in lieu of fractional shares, proper provisions shall be made so that upon consummation of such transaction the outstanding shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall, by virtue of such transaction and on the same terms as are applicable to the holders of Common Stock, be converted into or exchanged for the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or other property (payable in like kind) receivable by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class 2 ESOP Common Stock Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction; provided, however, that if by virtue of the structure of such transaction, a holder of Common Stock is required to make an election with respect to the nature and kind of consideration to be received in such transaction, which election cannot practicably be made by holders of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, then the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall, by virtue of such transaction and on the same terms as apply to the holders of Common Stock, be converted into or exchanged for the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or other property (payable in kind) receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction if such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election to receive any kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable in such transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable in such transaction are not the same for each non-electing share, then the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash or other property so receivable upon such transaction for each non-electing share shall be the kind and amount so receivable per share by the plurality of the non-electing shares).
7.3 In case the Corporation shall enter into any agreement providing for any consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction described in this Section 7, then the Corporation shall as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days before consummation of such transaction) give notice of such agreement and the material terms thereof to each holder of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not consummate any consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction unless all of the terms of this Section 7 have been complied with.
Section 8. Ranking.
8.1 Any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:
(b) on a parity with the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends, whether or not the dividend rates or dividend payment dates thereof be different from those of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, if the holders of such class or series of stock and the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share, without preference or priority one over the other, and on a parity with the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, if the holder of such class or series of stock and the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other; and
(c) junior to the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, if the holders of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series.
Section 9. Voting. The holders of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
9.1 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall then be required by law or this Restated Certificate, and in addition to any other vote required by law or this Restated Certificate, the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal (including any amendment, alteration or repeal by operation of merger or consolidation) of any of the provisions of this Restated Certificate or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights or any similar document relating to any series of Serial Preferred Stock) that would adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the amendment of the provisions of this Restated Certificate so as to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with or junior to the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock both as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall not be deemed to adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock.
9.2 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of Class 2 ESOP Voting Preferred Stock shall then be required by law or this Restated Certificate, and in addition to any other vote required by law or this Restated Certificate, the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the creation, authorization or issuance of any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock either as to payment of dividends or as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or the reclassification of any authorized stock of the Corporation into any such prior shares, or the creation, authorization or issuance of any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such prior shares.
9.3 For purposes of the foregoing provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.2, each share of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.
Section 10. No Redemption. The Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable in whole or in part.
Section 11. Record Holders. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent (if other than the Corporation) may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and, except as otherwise provided by law, neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
PART IV
Class P ESOP Voting Junior Preferred Stock
Unless otherwise indicated, any reference in this Article FOURTH, Part IV to ''Section'', ''Subsection'', ''paragraph'', ''subparagraph'' or ''clause'' shall refer to a Section, Subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause of this Article FOURTH, Part IV.
Section 1. Number of Shares; Designation; Issuances; Automatic Conversion.
1.1 The Class P ESOP Voting Junior Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the ''Class P Voting Preferred Stock'') shall consist of 11,600,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share.
1.2 Shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall be issued only to a trustee or trustees acting on behalf of (i) the UAL Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ''ESOP''), (ii) the UAL Corporation Supplemental ESOP (the ''Supplemental ESOP'') or (iii) any other employee stock ownership trust or plan or other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (each, a ''Plan''). In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition (including, without limitation, upon a foreclosure or other realization upon shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock pledged as security for any loan or loans made to a Plan or to the trustee or the trustees acting on behalf of a Plan) (hereinafter a ''transfer'') of shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock to any person (including, without limitation, any participant in a Plan) other than (x) any Plan or trustee or trustees of a Plan or (y) any pledgee of such shares acquiring such shares as security for any loan or loans made to the Plan or to any trustee or trustees acting on behalf of the Plan, the shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock so transferred, upon such transfer and without any further action by the Corporation or the holder, shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 9 hereof and thereafter such transferee shall not have any of the voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or special rights ascribed to shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock hereunder, but, rather, shall have only the powers and rights pertaining to the Common Stock into which such shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall be so converted. In the event of any such automatic conversion provided for in this Section 1.2, such transferee shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which the Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall have been converted as of the date of such conversion.

Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction if such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election to receive any kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable in such transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable in such transaction are not the same for each non-electing share, then the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash or other property so receivable upon such transaction for each non-electing share shall be the kind and amount so receivable per share by the plurality of the non-electing shares).
7.3 In case the Corporation shall enter into any agreement providing for any Merger Transaction described in Section 7.1 or 7.2, then the Corporation shall as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days before consummation of such transaction) give notice of such agreement and the material terms thereof to each holder of Class P Voting Preferred Stock.

For purposes of this Section 8.1, the Corporation shall certify to the holders of Class P Voting Preferred Stock and to the judges or similar officials appointed for the purpose of tabulating votes at any meeting of stockholders as soon as practicable following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, but in no event less than five Trading Days before such meeting, with respect to record dates from and after the Termination Date, the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible as of the record date for such vote or votes. The Corporation shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence if such matters are specified in any proxy statement mailed to all stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or matters.
8.2 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall then be required by law or this Restated Certificate, and in addition to any other vote required by law or this Restated Certificate, the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal (including any amendment, alteration or repeal by operation of merger or consolidation) of any of the provisions of this Restated Certificate or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights or any similar document relating to any series of Serial Preferred Stock) which would adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Class P Voting Preferred Stock or of either of the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks.

9.2 At the time that all of the shares of the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks cease to be outstanding for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, their conversion in full into Common Stock (the ''Final Conversion Date''), all outstanding shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted, in full, into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect.
9.3 Following any conversion in accordance with Sections 9.1 and 9.2, (i) no holder of Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall have any of the voting powers, preferences, relative, participating, optional or special rights ascribed to shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock hereunder, but, rather, shall have only the powers and rights pertaining to the Common Stock into which such shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock have been so converted, and (ii) any holder of Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which the Class P Voting Preferred Stock shall have been converted as of the date of the conversion of the shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock.
9.4 On or after the date of (i) a transfer of shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock (other than as described in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 1.2) or (ii) the Final Conversion Date, each holder of a certificate or certificates formerly representing shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock converted in accordance with Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall surrender such certificate or certificates, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent (if other than the Corporation) in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

9.5 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Class P Voting Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Class P Voting Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one certificate shall be surrendered in respect of such conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class P Voting Preferred Stock formerly represented by the certificates so surrendered.
9.6 In the event of an adjustment to the ''Conversion Rate'' in effect with respect to the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to the Class P Voting Preferred Stock.

(c) junior to the Class M Voting Preferred Stock, as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, if the holders of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series.

The rights of the New Machinist Voting Preferred Stock so received in such transaction upon conversion or exchange of the Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall successively be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9 hereof following such transaction as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for by such Section prior to such transaction.
7.2 In case the Corporation shall enter into any Merger Transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed, reclassified or converted into other stock or securities or cash or any other property, or any combination thereof, other than any such consideration which is constituted solely of ''qualifying employer securities'' (as referred to in Section 7.1) and cash payments, if applicable, in lieu of fractional shares, proper provisions shall be made so that each outstanding share of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall, by virtue of and upon consummation of such transaction, on the same terms as are applicable to the holders of Common Stock, be converted into or exchanged for the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or other property (payable in like kind) receivable by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction; provided, however, that if by virtue of the structure of such transaction, a holder of Common Stock is required to make an election with respect to the nature and kind of consideration to be received in such transaction, which election cannot practicably be made by holders of the Class M Voting Preferred Stock, then the shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall, by virtue of such transaction and on the same terms as apply to the holders of Common Stock, be converted into or exchanged for the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or other property (payable in kind) receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such transaction if such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election to receive any kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable in such transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of stock, securities, cash or other property receivable in such transaction are not the same for each non-electing share, then the kind and amount of stock, securities, cash or other property so receivable upon such transaction for each non-electing share shall be the kind and amount so receivable per share by the plurality of the non-electing shares).
7.3 In case the Corporation shall enter into any agreement providing for any Merger Transaction described in Section 7.1 or 7.2, then the Corporation shall as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days before consummation of such transaction) give notice of such agreement and the material terms thereof to each holder of Class M Voting Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall not consummate any such Merger Transaction unless all of the terms of this Section 7 have been complied with.

8.1 Except as otherwise required by law or provided in this Restated Certificate, the holders of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation, voting together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and the holders of such other classes and series of stock that vote together with the Common Stock as a single class. For purposes of this Section 8.1, with respect to each vote or consent with a record date occurring on or after the Termination Date, each share of Class M Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to the number of votes per share (rounded to the nearest one hundred millionth of a vote) equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the product of (i) the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks then outstanding can be converted as of the record date with respect to such vote or consent and (y) the number of Available Unissued ESOP Shares as of such record date and (ii) the Machinist Fraction, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock outstanding as of such record date. For purposes of this Section 8.1, the Corporation shall certify to the holders of Class M Voting Preferred Stock and to the judges or similar officials appointed for the purpose of tabulating votes at any meeting of stockholders as soon as practicable following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, but in no event less than five Trading Days before such meeting, with respect to record dates from and after the Termination Date, the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible as of the record date for such vote or votes. The Corporation shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence if such matters are specified in any proxy statement mailed to all stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or matters.
8.2 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall then be required by law or this Restated Certificate, and in addition to any other vote required by law or this Restated Certificate, the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal (including any amendment, alteration or repeal by operation of merger or consolidation) of any of the provisions of this Restated Certificate or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights or any similar document relating to any series of Serial Preferred Stock) which would adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Class M Voting Preferred Stock or of either of the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks.
8.3 For purposes of the foregoing provisions of Section 8.2, each share of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share.
Section 9. Automatic Conversion.
9.1 Shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall, as provided in Section 1.2, be automatically converted, from time to time, in part or in whole, respectively, upon any transfer thereof other than a transfer described in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 1.2, at a rate of one ten thousandth of a share of Common Stock per share of Class M Voting Preferred Stock to be converted (the ''Conversion Rate'').
9.2 At the time that all of the shares of the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks cease to be outstanding for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, their conversion in full into Common Stock (the ''Final Conversion Date''), all outstanding shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted, in full, into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect.
9.3 Following any conversion in accordance with Sections 9.1 and 9.2, (i) no holder of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall have any of the voting powers, preferences, relative, participating, optional or special rights ascribed to shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock hereunder, but, rather, shall have only the powers and rights pertaining to the Common Stock into which such shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock have been so converted, and (ii) any holder of Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which the Class M Voting Preferred Stock shall have been converted as of the date of the conversion of the shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock.
9.4 On or after the date of (i) a transfer of shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock (other than as described in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 1.2) or (ii) the Final Conversion Date, each holder of a certificate or certificates formerly representing shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock converted in accordance with Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall surrender such certificate or certificates, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent (if other than the Corporation) in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such certificate is registered, each such certificate shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder or such holder's duly authorized attorney and an amount sufficient to pay any transfer or similar tax (or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation demonstrating that such taxes have been paid or that no such taxes are payable).
9.5 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Class M Voting Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Class M Voting Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one certificate shall be surrendered in respect of such conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock formerly represented by the certificates so surrendered.
9.6 In the event of an adjustment to the ''Conversion Rate'' in effect with respect to the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to the Class M Voting Preferred Stock.
Section 10. Record Holders. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent (if other than the Corporation) may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Class M Voting Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and, except as otherwise provided by law, neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

For purposes of this Section 8.1, the Corporation shall certify to the holders of Class S Voting Preferred Stock and to the judges or similar officials appointed for the purpose of tabulating votes at any meeting of stockholders as soon as practicable following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, but in no event less than five Trading Days before such meeting, with respect to record dates from and after the Termination Date, the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible as of the record date for such vote or votes. The Corporation shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence if such matters are specified in any proxy statement mailed to all stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or matters.
8.2 Unless the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a greater number of shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall then be required by law or this Restated Certificate, and in addition to any other vote required by law or this Restated Certificate, the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of all of the outstanding shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration or repeal (including any amendment, alteration or repeal by operation of merger or consolidation) of any of the provisions of this Restated Certificate or of any certificate amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto (including any Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights or any similar document relating to any series of Serial Preferred Stock) which would adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Class S Voting Preferred Stock or of either of the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks.
8.3 For purposes of the foregoing provisions of Section 8.2, each share of Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share.
Section 9. Automatic Conversion.
9.1 Shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall, as provided in Section 1.2, be automatically converted, from time to time, in part or in whole, respectively, upon any transfer thereof other than a transfer described in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 1.2 at a rate of one ten thousandth of a share of Common Stock per share of Class S Voting Preferred Stock to be converted (the ''Conversion Rate'').
9.2 At the time that all of the shares of the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks cease to be outstanding for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, their conversion in full into Common Stock (the ''Final Conversion Date''), all outstanding shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted, in full, into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate then in effect.
9.3 Following any conversion in accordance with Sections 9.1 and 9.2, (i) no holder of Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall have any of the voting powers, preferences, relative, participating, optional or special rights ascribed to shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock hereunder, but, rather, shall have only the powers and rights pertaining to the Common Stock into which such shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock have been so converted, and (ii) any holder of Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which the Class S Voting Preferred Stock shall have been converted as of the date of the conversion of the shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock.
9.4 On or after the date of (i) a transfer of shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock (other than as described in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 1.2) or (ii) the Final Conversion Date, each holder of a certificate or certificates formerly representing shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock converted in accordance with Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall surrender such certificate or certificates, duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation or in blank, at the office of the Transfer Agent (if other than the Corporation) in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

9.5 No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Class S Voting Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a share of Class S Voting Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such share an amount in cash based upon the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one certificate shall be surrendered in respect of such conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock formerly represented by the certificates so surrendered.
9.6 In the event of an adjustment to the ''Conversion Rate'' in effect with respect to the ESOP Convertible Preferred Stocks, a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to the Class S Voting Preferred Stock.
Section 10. Record Holders. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent (if other than the Corporation) may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Class S Voting Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and, except as otherwise provided by law, neither the Corporation nor the Transfer Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(b) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a ''proceeding''), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators: provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (c) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article SIXTH shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition: provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expense incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article SIXTH or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
(c) If a claim under paragraph (b) of this Article SIXTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(d) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article SIXTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(e) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
SEVENTH. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of Delaware and this Restated Certificate, and all rights and powers conferred herein upon stockholders and directors are granted subject to this reservation.
I, the undersigned officer of UAL Corporation, a corporation of the State of Delaware, hereby certify that the foregoing is a true, correct and complete copy of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of said Corporation as at present in force.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed by name and affixed the seal of this Corporation this 16th day of April, 2003.
