Stock shall be entitled to receive the dividends as stated above and no more,

dates as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

issue of such share, from year to year, until paid so that, as long as any
shares of preferred stock are outstanding, if at any time all dividends on the
Preferred Stock for all prior dividend periods shall not have been paid, or if
all dividends on the Preferred Stock for the then current dividend period shall
