Dividends a. The holders of record on the Series B Dividend Record Date (as defined below) of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Record holders of Series B Preferred Stock on a Series B Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to one dividend-in-kind payable each year in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, resulting in the holder of each share of Series B Preferred receiving a dividend of 0.06 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock. Each such dividend shall be payable on or about each January 15 (a "Series B Dividend-in-Kind Payment Date") (or if such date is not a business day, the dividends due on such Series B Dividend-in-Kind Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding business day) beginning on January 15, 2001. Such dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue on each share of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of such share's issuance; provided, however, that dividends shall cease to accrue on a share of Series B Preferred Stock following such share's redemption or conversion, as the case may be. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable to holders of record as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on such record date, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days preceding a dividend payment date (including a Series B Dividend-in-Kind Payment Date), as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors (a "Series B Dividend Record Date"). Except in the case of a redemption under Section 4 or mandatory conversion under Section 6(c), below (in which case dividends shall accrue and be paid through the date of such event), no dividends shall be payable on the Series B Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period.
b. Subject to any rights of Senior Securities, no dividends or other distributions shall be made with respect to the Common Stock unless at the same time a dividend or distribution is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the amount paid with respect to a share of Common Stock as though the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their respective shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determina...
Dividends. (a) The Holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of all Junior Capital Stock and on a pari passu basis with holders of Parity Capital Stock, will be entitled to receive, when, as and if dividends are declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, cumulative dividends as provided in this Section 2. Dividends on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable in cash, or at the option of the Corporation, in such number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as is set forth in Section 2(d) below, and accrue (whether or not earned or declared) at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of (i) the Purchase Price and (ii) all accumulated and unpaid dividends accrued thereon from the date of issuance thereof (the "Series B Dividends"). Such dividends will be calculated and accrued on a quarterly basis on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Corporation in respect of the prior three month period prorated on a daily basis for partial periods.
(b) If the Corporation at any time pays less than the total amount of Series B Dividends then accrued with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the aggregate accrued but unpaid Series B Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock held by each such Holder.
(c) In the event that the Corporation declares or pays any dividends upon the Common Stock (whether payable in cash, securities or other property) other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall also declare and pay to the Holders at the same time that it declares and pays such dividends to the holders of the Common Stock, the dividends which would have been declared and paid with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock had all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock been converted in accordance with Section 6(a) immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.
(d) The Corporation may pay the Series B Dividends to each Holder by the issuance of such number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as equals the quotient of (i) the accrued and unpaid Series B Dividends with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held such Holder and (ii) the Purchase Price.
Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.
Dividends. (a) The holders of the outstanding Class A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefore, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 6% per annum of the per share purchase price ($1.10) of the Class A-1 Preferred Stock. Such dividends shall be payable in shares of the Company’s Class A-1 Preferred Stock quarterly, on the fifteenth day of October, January, April and July (each of such dates being a “Dividend Payment Date”) commencing on the date of issuance, and shall be pro-rated for the first such quarterly period if the same is less than 91 (ninety-one) days. All shares of common stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value thereof. As used herein Fair Market Value shall mean in the case of stock on a given date, the average of the closing bid prices for the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Dividend Payment Date. Such dividends shall accrue on each such share commencing on the date of issue, and shall accrue from day to day, whether or not earned or declared. Such dividends shall be cumulative so that if such dividends in respect of any previous quarterly dividend period shall not have been paid on, the deficiency shall be fully paid on or declared and set apart for such shares before the Corporation makes any distribution (as hereinafter defined) to the holders of Common Stock. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. “Distribution” in this section 5 means the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise (except a dividend in shares of the Corporation) or the purchase or redemption of shares of the Corporation for cash or property (except for an exchange of shares of the Corporation or shares acquired by the Corporation from employees pursuant to the terms of any employee incentive plan, agreement or arrangement) including any such transfer, purchase or redemption by a subsidiary of the Corporation. The time of any distribution by way of dividend shall be the date of declaration thereof and the time of any distribution by purchase or redemption of shares shall be the day cash or property is transferred by the Corporation, whether or not pursuant to a contract of an earlier date; provided that where a negotiable debt security is issued in exchange for shares the time of the distribution is the date when the Corporation acquires the shares in such exchange. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the de...
