redeemed at any time upon payment of its par value and
five per cent premium thereon - together with all dividends
then accrued and unpaid on the stock so redeemed.

The preferred stock shall be entitled to dividends out of the
surplus net profits of the Company - as ascertained by the
Board of Directors - at the rate of but not exceeding six per
cent per annum - payable semi-annually in each fiscal year
from and after the first day of July 1901 - which dividend shall
be paid in priority and preference to any dividend on the

In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company -
the holders of the preferred stock then outstanding shall be
entitled to receive the par value thereof out of the funds and
assets of the Corporation then remaining before anything shall
be paid therefrom to the holder of the Common stock.

If surplus net profits shall remain in any fiscal year

shall be applicable to such dividends on the common stock - as
the Board of Directors may see fit to declare.

The Company in pursuance of resolutions of its Board of Directors
may from time to time sell - lease - pledge - mortgage or otherwise
