Except for the Series A Preferred Stock the Board of Directors shall have authority, by resolution or resolutions, to divide the Preferred Stock into series, to establish and fix the distinguishing designation of each such series and the number of shares thereof (which number, by like action of the Board of Directors from time to time thereafter, may be increased except when otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in creating such series, or may be decreased but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and, within the limitations of applicable law or as otherwise set forth in this article, to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established prior to the issuance thereof, and particularly with respect to:
