(vii) any dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ rights or similar plan, or the redemption or repurchase of any rights under any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as any shares of Series A B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, if Preferential Dividends dividends are not declared and paid in full upon the shares of Series A B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all Preferential Dividends dividends declared upon shares of Series A B Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock will be declared on a proportional basis so that the amount of Preferential Dividends dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that all accrued and unpaid Preferential Dividends dividends as of the end of the most recent Preferential Dividend Payment Period per share of Series A B Preferred Stock and accrued and unpaid Preferential Dividends dividends as of the end of the most recent dividend period per share of any Parity Stock bear to each other. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, dividends may be authorized by the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, and declared and paid by the Company, or any duly authorized committee thereof, on any Junior Stock and Parity Stock from time to time and the Holders will not be entitled to participate in those dividends (other than pursuant to the adjustments otherwise provided under Section 11(a) or Section 12(a), as applicable).
