(a) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, the holders of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends in the amount of \$2.0625 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 8.25% of the \$25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and including the Original Issue Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Series A Payment Date for the related Series A Dividend Period, commencing September 15, 2011, to all holders of record on the applicable Series A Record Date; provided, however, that if any Series A Payment Date is not a Business Day, the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Series A Payment Date may be paid or set aside for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Series A Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Series A Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day.
The initial dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock will cover the period from and including the Original Issue Date through August 31, 2011 and will be paid on September
15, 2011. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for each full Series A Dividend Period shall be computed by dividing \$2.0625 by four (4), regardless of the actual number of days in such full Series A Dividend Period. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any partial Series A Dividend Period, including the portion of the initial Series A Dividend Period prior to June 1, 2011, shall be prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stockholder records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable Series A Record Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the dividend payable on each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on a Series A Record Date shall equal the dividend payable on each other share of Series A Preferred Stock that is outstanding on such Series A Record Date, and no holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock with a Series A Record Date before the date such share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued.
(b) for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and conditions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue with respect to any Series A Dividend Periods whether or not (i) any of the agreements or laws set forth in Section 3(b) hereof at any time are applicable, (ii) the Corporation has earnings. (iii) there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends or (iv) such dividends are declared. No interest or additional dividend shall be payable in respect of any accrued but unpaid dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock.
(d) or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than a dividend paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of equity securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation), nor shall any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock be redeemed (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares), purchased or otherwise acquired, (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and except for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 of Article V of the Charter), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past Series A Dividend Periods shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.
(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of equity securities ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of equity securities ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall be allocated pro rata so that the amount declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of equity securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of equity securities (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of equity securities for prior Series A Dividend Periods if such other class or series of equity securities does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.
(f) payable in cash, property or Stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable.
(g) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as "capital gain dividends" (as defined in Section 857 of the Code or any successor revenue code or section) any portion (the "Capital Gains Amount") of the total distributions not in excess of the Corporation's earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for such taxable year to holders of all classes and series of Stock (the "Total Distributions"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock for such taxable year bears to the Total Distributions for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of Stock outstanding.
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to liquidation rights, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders a liquidation preference of \$25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment (whether or not declared). If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of the Corporation ranking. as to liquidation rights, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of securities ranking, as to liguidation rights. on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets
in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be given by first-class mail, postage pre-paid, at least 20 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person, corporation, trust or entity, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.
In determining whether any distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution) by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of Stock or otherwise is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be added to the Corporation's total liabilities.
(a) Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to May 26, 2016, except as provided in Section 5(c), pursuant to Section 2 of Article V of the Charter or as set forth in Section 6 hereof.
(b) nor more than 60 days' written notice as provided in Section 5(e) hereof, may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price of \$25.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, without interest (the "Optional Redemption Right"). If less than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares), by lot or by any other equitable method determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation that will not result in a violation of Section 2 of Article V of the Charter. If such redemption is to be by lot and, as a result of such redemption, any holder of Series A Preferred Stock would own shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, then, except as otherwise provided in the Charter, the Corporation will redeem the requisite number of Series A Preferred Stock of such holder such that no holder will violate the Ownership Limit subsequent to such redemption.
(c) accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5 of these Articles Supplementary at any time and from time, whether before or after May 26, 2016, if the Board of Directors determines that such redemption is necessary to preserve the status of the
Corporation as a qualified REIT. If the Corporation calls for redemption any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 5(c), then the redemption price for such shares will be an amount in cash equal to \$25.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, without interest.
(d) Unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for all past Series A Dividend Periods, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to this Section 5 unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly any Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchange for equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and upon liquidation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock); provided howe ver, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of Section 5(c) hereof or Section 2 of Article V of the Charter or the purchase or acquisition of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.
(e) Notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, as of a date set by the Corporation not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to a holder to whom notice was defective or not given. A redemption notice which has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder received the redemption notice. In addition to any information required by law or the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (and, if less than all the shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder); (iv) the place or places where the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment, together with the certificates, if any, representing such shares (duly endorsed for transfer) and any other documents the Corporation requires in connection with such redemption; and (v) that dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such redemption rate.
(t) of the Charter, including, without limitation, the provisions for conversion into shares of Excess Stock and the redemption of shares of Excess Stock and shares transferred, or attempted to be transferred, in violation of such provisions. In addition to the redemption rights set forth in Section 2(d) of Article V of the Charter, shares of Excess Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time when outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are being redeemed, for cash at a redemption price of \$25.00
per share of Excess Stock, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) all dividends (whether or not declared) accrued and unpaid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were converted into such shares of Excess Stock prior to such conversion and all dividends that, but for such conversion, would have accrued and been unpaid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted to, but not including, the date of redemption, without interest. If the Corporation elects to redeem Excess Stock pursuant to the redemption right set forth in the preceding sentence, such Excess Stock shall be redeemed in such proportion and in accordance with such procedures as Series A Preferred Stock are being redeemed.
(a) During any period of time (whether before or after May 26, 2016) that both (i) the Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on the NYSE, NYSE Amex or the NASDAQ and (ii) the Corporation is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, but any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (the occurrence of clauses (i) and (ii) is referred to as a "Delisting Event"), the Corporation will have the option, upon not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice as provided in Section 6(d) hereof, to redeem the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the date of the Delisting Event, for a redemption price of \$25.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the date such shares are redeemed as provided in this Section 6(a) (a "Delisting Event Redemption Right").

(b) Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, holders shall be entitled to receive the cash value of such fractional shares based on the Common Stock Price.
(c) (either, a "Conversion Date") falls after a Series A Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Series A Payment Date, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Series A Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Series A Payment Date, notwithstanding the conversion of such shares on or prior to such Series A Payment Date, and each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are converted on such Conversion Date will be entitled to the dividends, if any, accruing after the end of the Series A Dividend Period to which such Series A Payment Date relates to, but not including, the Conversion Date.

Such notice shall state: (i) the relevant Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable; and (ii) the number of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held in global form, such notice shall instead comply with applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").
(g) Delisting Event Conversion Right or a Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Conversion Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Delisting Event Conversion Date or the Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable.

(k) Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, the Corporation shall comply with all U.S. federal and state securities laws and stock exchange rules in connection with any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Conversion Consideration.
(a) set forth in this Section 9.
(b) Whenever dividends on any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have not been paid for six or more Series A Dividend Periods (whether or not such dividends have been declared or such Series A Dividend Periods are consecutive) (a "Preferred Dividend Default"), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock (voting separately as a class with all other series of preferred stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (the "Parity Preferred")) will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors (the "Preferred Directors"), at each annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders and at any special meeting of the Corporation's stockholders called for the purpose of electing Preferred Directors, until all dividends accumulated on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for all past Series A Dividend Periods shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the cash payment thereof set aside for payment. Unless the number of the Corporation's directors has previously been increased pursuant to the terms of any series of Parity Preferred with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class in the election of Preferred Directors, the number of the Corporation's directors shall automatically increase by two at such time as holders of Series A Preferred Stock become entitled to vote in the election of the Preferred Directors. Unless shares of Parity Preferred remain outstanding and entitled to vote in the election of Preferred Directors, the term of office of each Preferred Director will terminate, and the number of the Corporation's directors shall automatically decrease by two, when all dividends on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock accumulated for all past Series A Dividend Periods have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the cash payment thereof set aside for payment. If the rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect the Preferred Directors terminate after the record date for the determination of holders of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote in any election of Preferred Directors but before the closing of the polls in such election, holders of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of such record date shall not be entitled to vote in the election
of any Preferred Directors. The right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect the Preferred Directors shall again vest if and whenever dividends are in arrears for six Series A Dividend Periods, as described above. In no event shall the holders of Series A Preferred Stock be entitled to nominate or elect an individual as a Preferred Director, and no individual shall be qualified to be nominated for election or to serve as a Preferred Director, if the individual's service as a Preferred Director would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy a requirement relating to director independence of any national securities exchange on which any class or series of Stock is listed.
(c) The Preferred Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election of such directors, and each Preferred Director will the next annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies, or until such director's term of office terminates as set forth in Section 9(b). Any director elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any series of Parity Preferred may be removed only by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all series of Parity Preferred with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class in the election of Preferred Directors. At any time that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote in the Preferred Directors, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote in the election of a successor to fill any vacancy on the Corporation's Board of Directors that results from the removal of a Preferred Director.
(d) At any time that holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect Preferred Directors as described in this Section 9(b) but such directors have not been elected, the Corporation's secretary must call a special meeting for the purpose of electing the Preferred Directors upon the written request of the holders of record of 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all series of Parity Preferred with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class with respect to the election of Preferred Directors, unless such a request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders, in which case, the Preferred Directors may be elected at such annual meeting or at a separate special meeting of the Corporation's stockholders.

(f) The following actions shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock:
(i) any class or series or the classification or reclassification of any unissued shares of Stock, or the creation or issuance of equity securities, of any class or series ranking, as to dividends or liquidation preference, equal to, or junior to, the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that such action does not decrease the number of authorized shares of Common Stock below the number (after giving effect to all other outstanding shares capital stock) necessary to permit the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted in full in accordance with the terms hereof; or
(ii) an amendment, alteration, or repeal or other change to any provisions of the Charter, including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or other business combination (an "Event"), (x) if the Series A Preferred Stock (or securities of any successor person or entity to the Corporation into which the Series A Preferred Stock has been converted) remain outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged in all material respects or the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive securities of a successor person or entity with substantially identical rights as those of the Series A Preferred Stock, taking into account that, upon the occurrence of an Event, the Corporation may not be the surviving entity, or (y) if the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall receive the greater of the full trading price of the Series A Preferred Stock on the last date prior to the first public announcement of an Event or \$25.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of such Event (other than any declared dividends having a Dividend Record Date before the date of such Event and a Series A Payment Date after the date of such Event, which shall be paid as provided in Section 3 above), pursuant to the occurrence of any Event (other than an Event that is an Affiliate Transaction).
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of any Parity Preferred shall not be entitled to vote together as a class with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock on any amendment, alteration, repeal or other change to any provision of the Charter, including these Articles Supplementary, unless such action affects the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred equally. On any matter in which the Series A Preferred Stock may vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote. In class votes, or in determining the percentage of outstanding shares, with shares of one or more series of Parity Preferred, shares of different series shall vote, or such determination shall be made, in proportion to the liquidation preference of the shares.
(h) The foregoing voting provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected. all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds, in cash, shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption, in each case, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(i) relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights and powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action, including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, irrespective of the effect that such merger, consolidation or sale may have upon the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.
During any period in which the Corporation is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will (i) transmit by mail or other permissible means under the Exchange Act to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, as their names and addresses appear in the Corporation's record books and without cost to such holders, copies of the annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K that the Corporation would have been required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Corporation were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required) within 15 days after the respective dates by which the Corporation would have been required to file such reports with the Commission if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and (ii) within 15 days following written request, supply copies of such reports to any prospective holder of Series A Preferred Stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation or any other entity, except in accordance with Section 8 hereof and Article V of the Charter.
In respect of rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to all classes or series of the Corporation's Common Stock and to all other equity securities issued by the Corporation, the terms of which expressly provide that such securities rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, (ii) on a parity with all equity securities issued by the Corporation, the terms of which expressly provide that such securities rank equal to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and (iii) junior to all equity securities issued by the Corporation, the terms of which expressly provide that such securities rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. All Series A Preferred Stock shall rank equally with one another and shall be identical in all respects.
The Series A Preferred Stock is subject to the terms and conditions (including any applicable exceptions and exemptions) of Article V of the Charter. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall include the legend provided in Section 2(e)(iv) of Article V of the Charter.
All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the Corporation shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued Common Stock.
The Corporation may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Except as may be otherwise provided by the Board of Directors (and except in connection with a global certificate held by a securities depositary), holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock held by them.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to the benefits of any retirement or sinking fund.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any preferences or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption other than expressly set forth in the Charter and these Articles Supplementary.

If any preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Charter and these Articles Supplementary are invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Charter (including these Articles Supplementary) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision thereof shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect
and no preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision thereof unless so expressed therein.

Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and including the Original Issue Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Series B Payment Date for the related Series B Dividend Period, commencing March 15, 2016, to all holders of record on the applicable Series B Record Date; provided, however, that if any Series B Payment Date is not a Business Day, the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Series B Payment Date may be paid or set aside for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Series B Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Series B Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day.
The initial dividend payable on the Series B Preferred Stock will cover the period from and including the Original Issue Date through February 29, 2016 and will be paid on March 15, 2016.

(b) for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and conditions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
(c) Series B Preferred Stock shall accrue with respect to any Series B Dividend Periods whether or not (i) any of the agreements or laws set forth in Section 3(b) hereof at any time are applicable, (ii) the Corporation has earnings, (iii) there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends or (iv) such dividends are declared. No interest or additional dividend shall be payable in respect of any accrued but unpaid dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock.
(d) or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (other than a dividend paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of equity securities ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation), nor shall any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock be redeemed (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares), purchased or otherwise acquired, (except (i) by conversion into or exchange for shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, (ii) for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 of Article V of the Charter,
and (iii) for the purchase or acquisition of equity securities of the Corporation ranking equal to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and any other shares of any other class or series of equity securities ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for all past Series B Dividend Periods shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.
(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series B Preferred Stock and any other class or series of equity securities ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends (other than any acquisition of shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 of Article V of the Charter or a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such other class or series of equity securities ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation), declared upon the Series B Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of equity securities ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall be allocated pro rata so that the amount declared per share of Series B Preferred Stock and such other class or series of equity securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series B Preferred Stock and such other class or series of equity securities (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of equity securities for prior Series B Dividend Periods if such other class or series of equity securities does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.
(f) payable in cash, property or Stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series B Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable.
(g) dividends" (as defined in Section 857 of the Code or any successor revenue code or section) any portion (the "Capital Gains Amount") of the total distributions not in excess of the Corporation's earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for such taxable year to holders of all classes and series of Stock (the "Total Distributions"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock for such taxable year bears to the Total Distributions for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of Stock outstanding.
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders a liquidation preference of \$25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment (whether or not declared). If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the distributions payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of securities of the Corporation ranking, as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of securities ranking, as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first-class mail, postage pre-paid, at least 20 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series B Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
