• Dividends, Etc The Company shall not declare or pay any dividend of any kind, in cash or in property, on any class of its capital stock, nor purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value any shares of such stock, nor make any distribution of any kind in respect thereof, nor make any return of capital to shareholders, nor make any payments in respect of any pension, profit sharing, retirement, stock option, stock bonus, incentive compensation or similar plan (except as required or permitted hereunder), without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

• Dividends; Capital Stock Declare or pay, directly or indirectly, any dividends or make any other distribution, or payment, whether in cash, property, securities or a combination thereof, with respect to (whether by reduction of capital or otherwise) any shares of capital stock (or any options, warrants, rights or other equity securities or agreements relating to any capital stock) of the Borrower, or set apart any sum for the aforesaid purposes (collectively, “Restricted Payments”), except that:

• Dividends So long as any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will be outstanding, the holders of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends accruing at the LIBOR Rate on the value of $100.00 per share, payable quarterly on the 1st day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning December 1, 1997 (each date being called a "Dividend Payment Date"), the dividends to be cumulative and payable as allowed by the Nevada Business Corporation Act, Chapter 78, Nevada Revised Statutes, with respect to the quarterly dividend period (or portion of it) ending on the day preceding the respective Dividend Payment Date, fixed for that purpose by the Board in advance of payment of each particular dividend. The LIBOR Rate shall mean the rate (rounded, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) for deposits in United States Dollars for a maturity of three months which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time representing the offered side of dollar deposits in the London market two (2) London business days prior to the effective date of the applicable LIBOR Rate. The LIBOR Rate shall be presumed to be the three months London Interbank Offered Rates as shown in the Wall Street Journal under "Money Rates" as long as such rates are published. The LIBOR Rate will be fixed on the Original Issue Date and thereafter be changed at every Dividend Payment Date to be effective until the next Dividend Payment Date. The "Original Issue Date" means the first date on which the Corporation will issue any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be cumulative from the Original Issue Date (whether or not declared and whether or not in any dividend period or dividend periods there will be net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of those dividends). So long as any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation may not declare or pay any dividend, make a distribution, or purchase, acquire, redeem, or set aside or make monies available for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of, any shares of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation including Common Stock, par value $.01, of the Corporation ("junior stock") (other than as a result of a reclassification of junior stock into another class of junior stock, or the exchange or conversion of one junior stock for or into another junior stock) unless (i) all dividends in respect of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods have been paid and such dividends for the current dividend period have been paid or declared and duly provided for, and (ii) all amounts in respect of the mandatory redemption of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of paragraph 5 below have been paid for all prior applicable periods and all amounts in respect of such mandatory redemption for the current applicable period have been paid or duly provided for. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, the dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board may be declared and paid on any junior stock from time to time out of any funds legally available, and the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to participate in any such dividends, whether payable in cash, stock or otherwise. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment or declaration and setting apart for payment of any amount will be made in respect of any shares of any junior stock with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, an amount equal to $100 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends (including a prorated quarterly dividend from the last Dividend Payment Date to the date of such payment) in respect of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up consummated. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to the shareholders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock based on the full preferential amounts for the number of shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations in which the stockholders of the Corporation receive solely capital stock of the acquiring or surviving corporation (or of the direct or indirect parent corporation of the acquiring corporation), except for cash in lieu of fractional shares, will not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used in this Certificate. Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation will, at the redemption price equal to $100 per share plus an amount, payable in cash, equal to the sum of all accumulated and unpaid dividends per share (including a prorated quarterly dividend from the last Dividend Payment Date to the applicable Redemption Date) (the "Redemption Price"), redeem from any source of funds legally available therefor, the amount of shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding on the date set forth on the Redemption Schedule attached to this Certificate. Redemption Date shall be the date on which any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemed by the Corporation. This Certificate shall be notice of this mandatory redemption on the dates specified on the Redemption Schedule, and any further notice is waived by acceptance of this Certificate. If the Corporation's records show there is more than one holder of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Corporation will effect the redemption pro rata according to the number of shares held by each holder of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shown on the books of the Corporation. On or before the date fixed for redemption, each holder of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock to the Corporation and the Redemption Price for the shares will be paid in cash on the Redemption Date to the person whose name appears on the certificate or certificates as the owner, and each surrendered certificate will be canceled and retired. In the event that less than all of the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate will be issued representing the unredeemed shares. Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the Redemption Price, dividends on the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accumulate on the Redemption Date, and all rights of the holders of the shares redeemed will cease to have any further rights with respect to the shares on the Redemption Date, other than to receive the Redemption Price.

• Dividends or Distributions (a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of shares of any other series of Preferred Stock or other class of capital stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, (1) quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter in each year, or such other dates as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall approve (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in the amount of $.01 per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) less the amount of all cash dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the following clause (2) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (the total of which shall not, in any event, be less than zero) and (2) dividends payable in cash on the payment date for each cash dividend declared on the Common Stock in an amount per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number (as hereinafter defined) then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid on each share of Common Stock. In addition, if the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in shares of Common Stock), then, in each such case, the Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding whole share of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or distribution in like kind equal to the Formula Number then in effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of the Common Stock. As used herein, the "Formula Number" shall be 1,000; provided, however, that, if at any time after the Record Date, the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the 49 Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or make any distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide (by a stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine (by a reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the Formula Number in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to such event (and rounding the result to the nearest whole number); and provided further, that, if at any time after the Record Date, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital stock in a merger, reclassification, or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such merger, reclassification or change so that each share of Preferred Stock continues to be the economic equivalent of a Formula Number of shares of Common Stock prior to such merger, reclassification or change.

• Dividends and Distributions (A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

• Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations In the event that the Company shall at any time subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision or to the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the Company shall at any time combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be.

• DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS Declare or pay any dividend or distribution either in cash, stock or any other property on Borrower's stock now or hereafter outstanding, nor redeem, retire, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class of Borrower's stock now or hereafter outstanding.

• Stock Dividends, etc In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Common Stock by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange of shares or the like, the terms “Existing Shares” and “Covered Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

• Cash Dividends or Distributions If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

• Stock Dividends and Splits If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
