(4) In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, holders of each Class (or Sub-Class) shall be entitled to receive, as a Class (or a Sub-Class), out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders, but other than general assets not belonging to any particular Class (or Sub-Class), the assets belonging to such Class (or Sub-Class); and the assets so distributable to the shareholders of any Class (or Sub-Class) shall be distributed among such shareholders in proportion to the asset value of the respective Classes (or Sub-Classes). In addition such holders shall be entitled to receive their proportionate share of assets of the Corporation which do not belong solely to any particular Class (or Sub-Class), as determined by the Board of Directors.

(5) The assets belonging to each Class (or Sub-Class) shall be charged with the liabilities in respect to such Class (or Sub-Class), and shall also be charged with their share of the general liabilities of the Corporation as determined by the Board of Directors, and such determination shall be conclusive for all purposes.

FIFTH: The shares aforesaid have been duly classified by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority contained in the Charter of the Corporation and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Sections 2-105(c), 2-208 and/or 2-208.1 of the MGCL.
