Section 5. Liquidation. In the event of any Liquidation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the proceeds or assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (i) after payment, and subordinate to, the full payment then owed to the holders of the Senior Securities; (ii) prior and in preference to any payment to the holders of the Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, and (iii)pari passe with the holders of the Parity Securities on a pro rated basis, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value. If upon any such Liquidation the proceeds or assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 5, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution in proportion of the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect to the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

The Series A Preferred Stock shall vote on any matter submitted to the holders of the Common Stock, or any other class of voting securities, for a vote, and shall vote together with the Common Stock, or any class of voting securities, as applicable, on such matter; provided that the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote on any matter as to which solely another class of preferred stock of the Corporation is entitled to vote.

 

Section 7. Protective Provisions. In addition to any other rights and restrictions provided under applicable law, the Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders, with each share of Series A Preferred Stock having one vote on such matter, amend or repeal this Certificate of Designation or the Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges, or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series A Preferred Stock, as reasonably determined by the Requisite Holders, and any such act or transaction entered into without such vote or consent shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect.

 

Section 8. Transfer. Upon the transfer of any share of Series A Preferred Stock, except for a transfer by a holder to an Affiliate of the holder, whether such transfer is voluntary or involuntary, such share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without any action being required by the Corporation or the holder, be converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. Except for the foregoing, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into shares of any other class of stock of the Corporation.
