Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Certificate of Incorporation are defined in Article XII.

SECTION 4.02. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights or privileges, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series. The voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights and privileges of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of a series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto pursuant to this Article IV (including any Certificate of Designation relating to such series).

SECTION 4.04. Dividends. Subject to the preferential rights of the Preferred Stock, if any, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation which are by law available therefor, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock. Dividends consisting of shares of Common Stock may be paid only as follows: (i) shares of Common Stock may be paid only to holders of Common Stock and (ii) shares shall be paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock.

SECTION 4.05. Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

SECTION 4.06. [Reserved.]

SECTION 4.07. Preemptive Rights. No holder of Common Stock shall have any preemptive rights with respect to the Common Stock or any other securities of the Corporation, or to any obligations convertible (directly or indirectly) into securities of the Corporation whether now or hereafter authorized.”
