A Preferred Stock (prior to the close of voting but after the
votes, approvals or written consents of all of the other
holders of Series A Preferred Stock casting votes, approvals
or written consents have been tallied) in the same proportion

approval or written consent.

issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right
or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other
distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in
replacement of, the shares described in clauses (i), (ii),
