3. 股息.
(a) 股息. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, mandatory and cumulative dividends payable quarterly in arrears with respect to each dividend period ending on and including the last calendar day of each quarter ending December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively (each such period, a “股息期” and each such date, a “股息支付日期”), at the rate per share equal to the greater of (x) 3.75% per annum multiplied by the Liquidation Preference and (y) in the event the Company pays a regular quarterly dividend on its Common Stock in such quarter, the rate per share payable in respect of such quarterly dividend (treating each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as being the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder’s shares would be converted if such shares were converted pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend); 在每種情況下,該B類股東和/或該B類股東的家庭成員需獨立控制在此類帳戶、計劃或信託中持有的B類普通股實時; that the initial Dividend Period will commence on the Series A Preferred Stock Issue Date and end on the second Dividend Payment Date thereafter.
