(2) Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) In addition to the voting rights provided for in ARTICLE IV, Section (2)(B), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote, at the rate of one vote for each share of such stock held, with respect to all matters which are submitted to a vote of shareholders or with respect to which shareholders may be entitled to vote, including without limitation the election of directors.

(B)

(i) If at any time dividends on any Series A Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to two (2) animal dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (a “Series A Default Period”) which shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous annual dividend periods and for the current annual dividend period on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each Series A Default Period, all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock on which dividends are in arrears in an amount equal to two (2) annual dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series designation, shall have the right to elect two (2) directors.

(ii) During any Series A Default Period, such voting rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to ARTICLE IV, Section (2)(B)(iii) or at any annual meeting of shareholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of shareholders, provided that neither such voting rights nor the right of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock, if any, to increase the authorized number of directors shall be exercised unless the holders of one-third (1/3) of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding and entitled to such voting rights shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Preferred Stock of such voting right.

Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this ARTICLE IV, Section (2)(B) shall be given to each holder of record of Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to such holder at such holder’s last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than twenty (20) days and not later than sixty (60) days after such request, and if the Board of Directors shall not have called such meeting within sixty (60) days after such request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any shareholder or shareholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, Section (2)(B)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within sixty (60) days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the shareholders, but instead such election of directors shall be conducted at such annual meeting of shareholders.
