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").

Dividends. (a) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock payable semiannually, which dividends shall be declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, out of the assets of the Company legally available therefor, and shall be payable semiannually commencing on the 180th day following the Issue Date (or the following Business Day if any such payment date is not a Business Day) (each such date being referred to herein as a “Dividend Payment Date”) at the rate per annum of 6% per share on the Liquidation Preference; provided that, in the event that on any Dividend Payment Date, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay such dividend or incur such liability either (x) as a matter of law or (y) under the terms of any loan agreement, credit agreement, guaranty, or related agreement, such dividend (a “Deferred Dividend”) shall not be declared by the Board of Directors, shall not be paid or payable on such Dividend Payment Date and no liability shall be incurred in respect thereof, and instead, such Deferred Dividend shall be declared, become payable and be paid and the liability in respect thereof be incurred on the first succeeding Dividend Payment Date on which the Company is not prohibited from declaring, paying and incurring the liability in respect of such Deferred Dividend (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Deferred Dividend shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any dividend which would ordinarily be payable on such succeeding Dividend Payment Date). The amount of dividends payable for any other period that is shorter or longer than a full semiannual dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
