qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated in
the resolution or resolutions adopted by the board of directors to create
such series, and a certificate of designations setting forth a copy of said
resolution or resolutions shall be filed in accordance with the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The authority of the board of
directors with respect to each such series shall include without limitation
of the foregoing the right to specify the number of shares of each such

such limitations, if any, on the issuance of additional shares of such
series or shares of any other series of Preferred Stock; or (vi) entitled
