Pursuant to the foregoing general authority vested in the Board of Directors, but not in limitation of the powers conferred on the Board of Directors thereby and by Delaware Law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to determine with respect to each series of Preferred Stock:
1


(a)the designation or designations of such series and the number of shares (which number from time to time may be decreased by the Board of Directors, but not below the number of such shares then outstanding, or may be increased by the Board of Directors, but not in excess of the number of such shares then authorized, unless otherwise provided in the resolution creating such series) constituting such series;
(b)the rate or amount and times at which, and the preferences and conditions under which, dividends shall be payable on shares of such series, the status of such dividends as cumulative or noncumulative, the date or dates from which dividends, if cumulative, shall accumulate, and the status of such shares as participating or nonparticipating after the payment of dividends as to which such shares are entitled to any preference;
(c)the rights and preferences, if any, of the holders of shares of such series upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation, which amount may vary depending upon whether such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is voluntary or involuntary and, if voluntary, may vary at different dates, and the status of the shares of such series as participating or nonparticipating after the satisfaction of any such rights and preferences;
(d)the full or limited voting rights, if any, to be provided for shares of such series, in addition to the voting rights provided by law;
(e)the times, terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of such series shall be subject to redemption, including the amount the holders of shares of such series shall be entitled to receive upon redemption (which amount may vary under different conditions or at different redemption dates) and the amount, terms, conditions and manner of operation of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of such series;
(f)the rights, if any, of the Corporation or the holders of shares of such series to convert such shares into, or to exchange such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same class or other securities of the Corporation, the prices or rates of conversion or exchange, and adjustments thereto, and any other terms and conditions applicable to such conversion or exchange;
(g)the limitations, if any, applicable while such series is outstanding on the payment of dividends or making of distributions on, or the acquisition or redemption of, Common Stock or any other class of shares ranking junior, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, to the shares of such series;
(h)the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of such series or any other series or of any other class) ranking on a parity with or prior to the shares of such series either as to dividends or upon liquidation; and
(i)any other relative powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualification, limitations or restrictions thereof, of shares of such series;

3.Shares of any series of Preferred Stock which have been acquired by the Corporation, whether by purchase or redemption or by their having been converted into or exchanged for other shares of the Corporation, shall upon their acquisition and without any other action by the Corporation resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as shares of the series of which they were originally a part or may be issued as shares of a new series or as shares of any other series.
Except as otherwise provided by Delaware Law or by any resolution adopted by the Board of Directors fixing the powers, preferences and rights, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the Preferred Stock, the entire voting power of the shares of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for all other purposes, as well as all other rights pertaining to shares of the Corporation, shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock shall have one vote upon all matters to be voted on by the holders of the Common Stock and share ratably, subject to the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock, in all assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or upon any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.
4.Shares of capital stock of the Corporation may be issued for such consideration, not less than the par value thereof, as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, and shares issued for such consideration shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
