Exhibit A

FOURTH: The capital stock of the corporation shall consist of Common Shares and Preferred Shares.

(a) Common Shares. The corporation is authorized to issue one thousand (1,000) common Shares, each of which shall have a par value of $1.00.

(b) Preferred Shares. The corporation is authorized to issue one hundred fifty (150) Preferred Shares, each of which shall have a par value of $.01.

(i) Regular Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors and to the extent of the assets of the corporation legally available therefor, regular cash dividends at the rate of $.01 per share per annum. Such regular cash dividends shall be payable in respect of the Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis and shall accrue daily beginning on the date of original issuance of the Preferred Shares through December 31 of each calendar year (a “Fiscal Year”) . Such regular cash dividends shall be payable on each March 31, commencing March 31, 1996, to holders of record as of the preceding December 31.

(ii) Variable Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall also be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors and to the extent of the assets of the corporation legally available therefor, variable cash dividends in an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Net Income of the corporation (as defined below). Such variable cash dividends shall be payable in respect of the Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis except as otherwise provided herein and shall accrue daily beginning on the date of original issuance of the Preferred shares through December 31 of each Fiscal Year. Such variable cash dividends shall be payable on each March 31, commencing March 31, 1996, to holders of record as of the preceding December 31; provided, however, that with respect to Preferred Shares which as a result of redemption, conversion or other event are outstanding for a portion of any Fiscal Year but not on December 31 thereof, the variable cash dividends otherwise payable in respect of such Preferred Shares shall be reduced to an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Net Income of the corporation for the portion of the Fiscal Year during which the Preferred Shares were outstanding and the portion of the variable cash dividend reduced in accordance with this sentence shall be reallocated on a pro rata basis to the Common Shares.

For purposes of calculating the variable cash dividends,

(A) “Net Income of the corporation” shall mean the after tax net income reflected on the Profit & Loss Statement of the corporation for each Fiscal Year or portion thereof during which the Preferred Shares are outstanding stated in United States dollars and determined for each dividend period in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied by the corporation; and

(B) “Profit & Loss Statement of the corporation” shall mean the regularly prepared income statement of the corporation with respect to the applicable Fiscal Year.

(iii) Dividends Cumulative. Dividends on the Preferred shares that are not paid or are not paid in full, or declared and set apart for payment when due, shall be cumulative. Accrued dividends on the Preferred Shares, if not paid when due, shall accrue additional dividends in respect thereof, compounded annually at the rate of 8% per annum from and including the date on which such dividends are payable as set forth above, to but excluding the date on which such dividends are paid.

If at any time full cumulative compounding dividends on all Preferred shares then outstanding shall not have been paid, the amount of the deficiency shall be paid before any sum shall be set aside for or applied by the corporation to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of any Common Shares or any dividend or other distribution shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any Common Shares. No dividend or distribution shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for any Preferred Share for any dividend period unless at the same time a like proportionate dividend or distribution for the same dividend period shall be paid upon or declared or set apart for all Preferred Shares entitled to receive dividends or distributions in respect of such dividend period.

When dividends are not paid in full upon the Preferred Shares, all dividends paid upon such Preferred Shares shall be paid pro rata so that in all cases the amount of dividends paid per share on the Preferred Shares shall bear the same ratio that accrued dividends paid bears to total accrued dividends.

(iv) Voting Rights. The Preferred shares shall have no voting rights, subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, except

(A) in respect of any resolution which varies the rights attached to such Preferred Shares; and

(B) in respect of any resolution for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation.

- 2 -

In such event, the Preferred Shares will be entitled to one vote in respect of each such Preferred Share held. The corporation shall not take any of the above actions without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares.

(v) Preference on Liquidation. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after all the creditors of the corporation shall have been paid in full, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the corporation legally available for distribution to its shareholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings and before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Common Shares, an amount equal to $.01 cash per share plus an amount equal to full cumulative dividends accrued and unpaid thereon (including dividends accrued from compounding) to the date of final distribution, and no more.

If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the net assets of the corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of all outstanding Preferred shares the full amounts to which they respectively shall be entitled, such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed ratably in respect of the Preferred Shares. Holders of the Preferred Shares shall not be entitled, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, to receive any amounts with respect to such shares other than the amounts referred to in this paragraph.

Except as provided in this subsection (b), the Preferred Shares shall not confer the right to any further or other rights to participate in the profits or assets of the corporation, nor shall they confer a right to participate in any issue of ordinary shares in the capital of the corporation. Except with the prior written consent of all holders of Preferred Shares, no further shares conferring the right to participate directly in the Net Income of the corporation shall be created.

(vi) Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this clause (vi), the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares shall have the right upon notice to the Company as provided below to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Preferred Shares into an equal number of fully-paid and non-assessable Common Shares (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, the “Conversation Rate”).

In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares shall give written notice to the corporation at its principal office that such holders elect to convert the Preferred Shares to Common Shares pursuant to this clause (iv). Such notice once given

- 3 -

shall not be revocable without the written consent of the corporation. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the close of business on the 5th day (the “Conversion Date”) following the date on which such notice shall have been received by the corporation. On the conversion Date, without further act, each certificate formerly representing outstanding Preferred Shares shall be deemed to represent a like number of Common Shares and the holders thereof shall be deemed to have become the holders of record of the Common shares represented thereby. As promptly as possible after the Conversion Date, (a) the corporation shall issue and deliver at such office to the holders, or on his written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Common Shares issued upon such conversion and (b) provision shall be made in respect of any fraction of a share as provided below.

No fractional Common shares shall be issued upon conversion of Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional Common Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon such a conversion, the corporation shall pay in respect of such fractional common Share on March 31 of the next succeeding calendar year an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the amount to which a full Preferred share would have been entitled to in a liquidation effected as of the Conversion Date multiplied by (b) a fraction the numerator of which is the fraction of Common Share and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate.

The Conversion Rate and the amount and kind of securities, property or other assets receivable upon conversion of Preferred shares shall be adjusted from time to time if the corporation hereafter:

(A) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Shares in Common Shares;

(B) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;

(C) combines the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares;

(D) makes a distribution on the Common Shares in shares of its capital stock other than Common Shares; or

(E) issues by reclassification of the Common Shares any shares of its capital stock;

so that the holder of a Preferred Share immediately prior to such action shall receive upon conversion the number of Common Shares of the corporation that the holder would have received immediately following such action if the holder had converted the

- 4 -

Preferred Share immediately prior to such action. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record data in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective data in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
