(b) Remaining Assets. After the payment or distribution to the holders of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities of the full preferential amounts to which they are entitled, the holders of the then-outstanding shares of Junior Securities shall be entitled to receive ratably all remaining assets of the Company. 6 Section 4.

(b) Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall redeem all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price hereinafter specified (i) at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, at the option of holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, exercised by giving written notice to the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (the date of receipt of written notice, or the date of a Triggering Event being the, "Mandatory Redemption Date"). (c) Optional Redemption Notice. The Company shall, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Payment Date for an optional redemption pursuant to Section 4(a), give written notice to each holder of record of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that the Company has determined to exercise its optional redemption rights hereunder. This notice shall state the number of then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Redemption Price, including the amount of dividends included in such price and the calculation thereof, the Payment Date and the time, place and manner in which the holder is to surrender to the Company the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

Such notice shall state the Redemption Price, including the amount of dividends included in such price and the calculation thereof, and the Payment Date, place and manner in which the holders are to surrender to the Company the certificates representing shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed. "Payment Date," for purposes of this Section 4(d), shall mean the date no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Mandatory Redemption Date designated by the Company for payment of the Redemption Price. (e) Redemption Price. In all events, the Redemption Price of the Series C Preferred Stock (the "Redemption Price") shall be an amount per share equal to $1,000 plus the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared, to and including the Payment Date. (f) Payment of Redemption Price and Surrender of Stock. On the Payment Date, the Redemption Price of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be paid to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. On or before the Payment Date, each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such 7 shares to the Company, duly endorsed, together with such other instruments as the Company may reasonably require to insure that such shares of Series C Preferred Stock are duly and validly transferred to the Company, free of all Liens, and on the Payment Date the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. (g) Insufficient Funds. If the funds of the Company legally available for redemption of Series C Preferred Stock on the Payment Date with respect to a Mandatory Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem all of the Series C Preferred Stock that are subject to redemption pursuant to Section 4(b) and any Parity Securities being redeemed on such date, those funds that are so available will be used to redeem the maximum possible number of such shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities ratably among the holders thereof on the basis of the liquidation preference of such securities. At the earliest time thereafter as additional funds of the Company are legally available for redemption of Series C Preferred Stock in the manner provided above, such funds will be immediately used to redeem the balance of such Series C Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities subject to redemption. (h) Deposit of Funds. At least three (3) Business Days prior to a Payment Date, the Company shall deposit with any bank or trust company in the United States, having a capital and surplus of at least $700,000,000 as a trust fund, a sum equal to the aggregate Redemption Price, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to pay, on or after the Payment Date, the Redemption Price to the respective holders of then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock upon the surrender of their share certificates. The deposit shall constitute full payment of the shares to their holders; provided, that, until all shares of Series C Preferred Stock are redeemed and full payment made therefor, the holders thereof shall continue to be considered shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have all rights with respect thereto, including the right to receive from the bank or trust company payment of the Redemption Price of the shares, without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor. Any monies so deposited and unclaimed at the end of one year from the Payment Date shall be released or repaid to the Company, after which the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock called for redemption shall be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price only from the Company. (i) Accrual of Dividends. Unless the Company defaults in making the payment of the Redemption Price in accordance with Section 4(h) hereof, dividends on Series C Preferred Stock subject to redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Payment Date. (j) Waiver. At any time after receiving notice of Mandatory Redemption and prior to two Business Days before the Payment Date, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock may, by written consent of holders of at least 80% of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, waive the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock as to such mandatory redemption event in which case the Company shall not be obligated to redeem the shares of Series C Preferred Stock as to such redemption event. Upon receipt of any such waiver, the Company shall promptly provide written notice to all holders of Series C Preferred Stock. 8 Section 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights. Section 6. Restrictions and Limitations. So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the holders of 80% of the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock: (a) Purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value (or pay into or set aside as a sinking fund for such purpose) any Junior Securities or any warrant, option or right to purchase any Junior Securities, other than purchases of shares of Junior Securities for the purpose of funding deferred compensation arrangements; (b) Declare or pay any dividends on or declare or make any other Distribution, direct or indirect (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Class A Common Stock), on account of Junior Securities or set apart any sum for any such purpose; (c) Amend its Articles of Incorporation in any manner that would significantly and adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock, provided, however, the foregoing shall not restrict the company from issuing additional series of preferred stock, senior to the Series C Preferred Stock, without the consent of holders of the Series C Preferred Stock; or (d) Issue any additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock after the Issue Date. Section 7. Conversion. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights: (a) Right to Convert. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock. Such conversion right shall continue to apply to any share of Series C Preferred Stock called for redemption pursuant to Section 4 hereof until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Payment Date. (b) Conversion Price. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall initially be convertible into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the then Liquidation Preference of such share of Series C Preferred Stock by the then conversion price, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 7, which conversion price shall initially be equal to $12.00 per share (the "Conversion Price"). 9 (c) Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date. (d) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date effects a subdivision of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and, conversely, if the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this subsection (d) shall become effective at the open of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. (e) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other Distribution payable in additional shares of Class A Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reset as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the open of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or Distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such Distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (e) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or Distributions. (f) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date makes, or fixes, a record date for the determination of holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other Distribution payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall 10 receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 7 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. (g) Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event that at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 7), then and in any such event each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change, by holders of the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. (h) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date there is a capital reorganization of the Class A Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 7) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 7 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 7 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. (i) Accountants' Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company, at its expense, shall cause independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company (who may be the independent public accountants then auditing the books of the Company) to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Series C Preferred Stock at the holder's address 11 as shown in the Company's books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (1) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (2) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. (j) Notices of Record Date. In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other Distribution, or (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the record date specified therein, a notice specifying (1) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or Distribution and a description of such dividend or Distribution, (2) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (3) the date, if any, that is to be fixed, as to when the holders of record of Class A Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Section 8. No Reissuance of Series C Preferred Stock. No share of Series C Preferred Stock acquired by the Company upon conversion, by reason of redemption, purchase, or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Company shall be authorized to issue.
