In the event (i) the Corporation defaults with respect to its obligation to make a Make-Whole Payment or (ii) a Make-Whole Payment is delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, a late-payment charge shall accrue with respect to the Make-Whole Payment at a per annum rate equal to the dividend rate then in effect pursuant to Section A of Article III hereof from (A) the time of such default in the case of clause (i) above or (B) from the time such Make-Whole Payment would have been due except for the operation of the preceding sentence in the case of clause (ii) above, and shall accrue until such amount and such charge is paid.
