D. Protective Provision. So long as any shares of Series II Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will not, without the affirmative approval of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series II Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting as a class), (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series II Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designations, (ii) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to distribution of dividends senior to the Series II Preferred Stock, (iii) amend its articles of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iv) increase the authorized number of shares of Series II Preferred Stock, (v) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, or effect any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), or (vi) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

3. Stock Splits. If the Corporation at any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately increased.

Any adjustment under this Section I.G.3 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
