b. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any reduction of its capital, resulting in a distribution of its assets to its stockholders, whether voluntary or involuntary, then, after there shall have been paid or set apart for the holders of the Preferred Stock the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive as a class, pro rata, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.

c. For any and all purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other corporation, nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any other transaction or series of transactions having the effect of a reorganization shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation.
