The Corporation, at the option of the Board of Directors may, at any time permitted by the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of any Series of Preferred Stock and at the redemption price per share fixed and determined for such Series, redeem the whole or any part of the shares of such Series at the time outstanding (the total sum so payable on any such redemption being herein referred to as the "redemption price").

(9)

The Preferred Stock shall not be convertible, except to the extent that any one or more Series thereof may be issued with the privilege of conversion as may be determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance of any shares of such Series as herein set forth.

The initial conversion rate or conversion price (including in the latter case the number of shares of Common Stock or other class of stock issuable upon conversion) and the terms and conditions of conversion for each Series issued with the privilege of conversion shall be fixed and determined by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided. Such conversion price or conversion rate with respect to any such Series may be subject from time to time to adjustment by virtue of issuance of securities or rights to purchase securities of the Corporation or upon any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or the consolidation or merger of the Corporation, or the sale, conveyance, lease or other transfer by the Corporation of all or substantially all of its property, or in other circumstances, all to the extent and in the manner fixed and determined by the Board of Directors as herein set forth.

None of the holders of Preferred Stock of any Series shall have any voting powers for any purpose, except as may be specifically required by law, or except as any such right to vote may be fixed and determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance of any shares of such Series as herein provided.

 

(12)

In order for the Board of Directors to establish a Series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall adopt a resolution or resolutions setting forth the designation and the number of shares of such Series and the relative rights and preferences thereof in respect of the foregoing particulars.
