Dividends.
(a)
Payment of Dividends. The holders of shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of any shares of Common Stock or Junior Securities of the Corporation, but subordinate to the holders of any Senior Securities, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, in their sole discretion, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for payment of dividends, distributions in the form of cumulative cash dividends payable at an annual rate per share equal to FOUR PERCENT (4%) (the "DIVIDEND RATE") of the Stated Value from and after the date of issuance of the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock (the "ISSUE DATE"), as long as the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

(c)
Dividends on Common Stock. So long as any shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock remain outstanding, if the Corporation pays a dividend in cash, securities or other property on shares of Common Stock, then at the same time the Corporation shall declare and pay a dividend on shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock (which would be in addition to any dividends payable under subparagraph (a) of this Section 3) in the amount of dividends that would be paid with respect to shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock if such shares were converted into shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividend (or if no record date is established, at the date such dividend is declared).

5.
Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including without limitation shares reacquired by conversion pursuant to Sections 7 or 8 hereof, shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the class of preferred stock undesignated as to series and may be redesignated and reissued as part of any series of preferred stock other than Series AAA Preferred Stock.

(c)
No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock.

(d)

(a)
Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, (B) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) otherwise issue by reclassification of the shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then, and in each such case, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock shall be adjusted so that the holder of any shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock been surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the happening of such event or the record date therefor, whichever is earlier. Simultaneously with any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock, corresponding adjustments (pursuant to, and in accordance with, the anti-dilution provisions set forth in the form of warrant certificate adopted by the Corporation to represent such warrants) shall also be made in the terms of the warrants issuable upon conversion of shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock, including, to the extent necessary or appropriate, changes in both the exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of such warrants. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 9 shall become applicable (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date
for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and (y) in the case of any such subdivision, reclassification or combination, at the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective. Such adjustments shall be made successively.
(b)
Reorganization and Reclassification. In case of any capital reorganization or reclassification of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or in case of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another person or entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another person or entity of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the shares of Common Stock are converted into other securities, cash or other property (each of the foregoing being referred to as a "TRANSACTION"), each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock then outstanding, and each warrant into which the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock is convertible, shall thereafter be convertible, or exercisable, as the case may be, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise prior to consummation of such Transaction, into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable (including cash) upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series AAA Preferred Stock was convertible or one warrant exercisable immediately prior to such Transaction (including, on a pro rata basis, the cash, securities or property received by holders of Common Stock in any tender or exchange offer that is a step in such Transaction). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Corporation will not effect any Transaction unless, the agreements governing such Transaction shall provide, and the surviving person or entity (if not the Corporation) shall agree in writing, that the shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock shall be treated as provided herein.
10.
Certain Covenants. Any holder of Series AAA Preferred Stock may proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of such holders by any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any provision in this Certificate of Designations or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
