FOURTH
The aggregate number of shares of stock that the Corporation
has authority to issue is 100,000,000 shares of no par value Common
Stock and 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors
is authorized to establish series of such preferred shares, to fix and
determine variations in the relative rights and preferences as between
the series of preferred shares so established, and to fix and determine
the terms thereof, including dividend or interest rates, conversion
prices, voting rights, maturity dates and similar matters relative
thereto. There shall be no preemptive rights to the issuance of shares
of stock of the Corporation.
All shares of preferred stock of all series shall be of equal
rank and shall be identical in all respects, except with respect to the
terms and provisions that may be fixed and determined by the Board of
Directors. If the stated dividends on preferred stock are not declared
or set apart for payment, or are not paid in full, the shares of all
series of preferred stock shall share ratably in the payment of
dividends in accordance with the sums that would be payable upon and
with respect to the shares if all dividends were declared and paid in
full. If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
the holders of preferred stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up or reduction in capital of the Corporation are insufficient
to pay in full the sums payable to these holders in these events, the
shares of all series of preferred stock shall share ratably in any
distribution of assets in proportion to the amounts that the holders
respectively would have received if the assets were sufficient to
permit the payment in full of those sums. The holders of the
Corporation's common stock and preferred stock shall all vote as one
class.
