If an amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation described in (i) through (iii) above would adversely affect one or more but not all series of Voting Preferred Stock (including the Series D for this purpose), then only the series affected and entitled to vote shall vote to the exclusion of all other series of preferred stock. If all series of preferred stock are not equally affected by the proposed amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation described above, there shall be required a two-thirds approval of each series that will have a diminished status.
(d) Changes Permitted without Consent. Without the consent of the holders of the Series D, so long as such action does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series D, the Corporation may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Series D:
(i) to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct or supplement any provision contained in this Certificate of Designations for the Series D that may be defective or inconsistent; or
(ii) to make any provision with respect to matters or questions arising with respect to the Series D that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, to reflect any Adjustments if a Rate Substitution Event occurs.
(e) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of Series D will be required pursuant to Section 7(b) or (c) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Sections, all outstanding shares of Series D shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption on proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been set aside for the benefit of the holders of the Series D to effect such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 6 above, unless in the case of a vote or consent required pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 7(c) above if all outstanding shares of Series D are being redeemed with the proceeds from the sale of the stock to be authorized.
(f) Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the holders of Series D (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors), in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Amended and Restated Bylaws, applicable law and any national securities exchange or other trading facility on which the Series D may be listed or traded at the time.
