C.           Rights of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in series and to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, including without limitation authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

 

D.           Rights of Special Stock.

 

1.The holder or holders of Special Stock shall have only such voting powers as are set forth herein.

a.authorize or issue shares of Special Stock or issue shares of Preferred Stock; or

 

b.amend any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of holders of Special Stock as a class.

If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem on any Redemption Date all outstanding shares of Special Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s redeemable shares of such capital stock out of any such legally available funds, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor.

In the event less than all the shares of the Special Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Special Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

b.If on the applicable Redemption Date, the full amount of the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Special Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares to be redeemed with irrevocable instructions and authority to consummate the redemption of such shares in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein so as to be available therefor, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Special Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

 

c.Any shares of Special Stock which are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately canceled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.
