Notice of the action taken hereby is being delivered to stockholders who did not vote hereon as
required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL.
THIRD: Article Fourth, Section B (Preferred Stock), Subsection 1 (Dividends) of the Fourth
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended) is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:
1. Dividends.
The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock in any year, out of assets legally
available therefor (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock), unless the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive a
dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to ten cents
($0.10) per share per annum (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination or
similar recapitalization affecting such shares), payable when, as and if declared by the
Board. Such dividends shall be cumulative and accrue from day-to-day, whether or not earned or
declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to December 31, 2009, the Corporation requests
that a holder of Series B Preferred Stock voluntarily defer dividend payments, and if, prior to
December 31, 2009, such holder agrees to such voluntary deferral in writing, such holder shall be
entitled, at the discretion of the Board, to a cumulative accrual with respect to such voluntarily
deferred dividend payments in an amount equal to fifteen cents ($0.15), rather than ten cents
($0.10), per share per annum (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares) from the effective date
of such voluntary deferral until December 31, 2009, after which date the rate of the cumulative
accrual with respect to all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be ten cents ($0.10) per share
per annum (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares). All such voluntarily deferred
dividends are payable at any time (without regard to the payment or non-payment of dividends to
other holders of Series B Preferred Stock who did not voluntarily defer dividend payments) when, as
and if declared by the Board. No dividends shall be paid or set aside with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock (other than dividends on shares of Common
Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B
Preferred Stock are paid or set aside for payment to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.
After the payment or setting aside of dividends payable on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock,
any additional dividends declared or paid in such year shall be declared or paid to the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock, pari passu, in an amount equal
to the product of (a) the dividend payable per share, multiplied by (b) the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, on an
as-converted basis, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders
entitled to receive such dividend.
