(b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on Common Stock or any other class or series of Junior Stock, and no Common Stock or any other class or series of Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding Dividend Periods have been declared and paid in full in cash, shares of the Common Stock or a combination thereof upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of Common Stock has been set apart for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to:

(i) any dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock;

(ii) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Common Stock, other Junior Stock or Parity Stock in connection with the administration of any benefit or other incentive plan, including any

employment contract, in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan, or acquisitions of shares of Common Stock surrendered, deemed surrendered or withheld in connection with the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units); provided that the number of shares purchased to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount;

(iii) any dividends or distributions of rights in connection with a stockholders’ rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any stockholders’ rights plan; and

(iv) the deemed purchase or acquisition of fractional interests in shares of Common Stock, other Junior Stock or Parity Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such shares or the security being converted or exchanged.

When dividends on shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (i) have not been paid in full on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from such Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a regular dividend period related to such Dividend Payment Date), or (ii) have been declared but a sum of cash or number of shares of Common Stock sufficient for payment thereof has not been set aside for the benefit of the Holders thereof on the applicable Regular Record Date, no dividends may be declared or paid on any shares of Parity Stock unless dividends are declared on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock such that the respective amounts of such dividends declared on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such shares of Parity Stock shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders of the shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of any shares of Parity Stock then outstanding. For purposes of calculating the pro rata allocation of partial dividend payments, the Corporation shall allocate those payments so that the respective amounts of those payments for the declared dividend bear the same ratio to each other as all accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such shares of Parity Stock bear to each other (subject to their having been declared by the Board of Directors, or an authorized committee thereof, out of legally available funds); provided that any unpaid dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will continue to accumulate. For purposes of this calculation, with respect to non-cumulative Parity Stock, the Corporation shall use the full amount of dividends that would be payable for the most recent dividend period if dividends were declared in full on such non-cumulative Parity Stock.

Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends as may be determined by the Board of Directors (or an authorized committee thereof) may be declared and paid (payable in cash or other property or securities) on any securities, including Common Stock and other Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and Holders shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.

(c) Method of Payment of Dividends. (i) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(e), the Corporation may pay any declared dividend (or any portion of any declared dividend) on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not for a current Dividend Period or any prior Dividend Period, as determined in the Corporation’s sole discretion:

(ii) The Corporation shall make each payment of a declared dividend on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in cash, except to the extent the Corporation elects to make all or any portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock. The Corporation shall give notice to Holders of any such election, and the portion of such payment that will be made in cash and the portion that will be made in shares of Common Stock, no later than 10 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Dividend Payment Date for such dividend, provided that if the Corporation does not provide timely notice of this election, the Corporation will be deemed to have elected to pay the relevant dividend in cash.

(iii) All cash payments to which a Holder is entitled in connection with a declared dividend on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be computed to the nearest cent. If the Corporation elects to make any such payment of a declared dividend, or any portion thereof, in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued for such purpose, in the case of any dividend payment or portion thereof, at 97% of the Average VWAP per share of Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the seventh Scheduled Trading Day prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date (the “Average Price”).

(d) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Holders in payment or partial payment of dividends. A cash adjustment (computed to the nearest cent) shall instead be paid by the Corporation to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Common Stock based on the Average Price with respect to such dividend.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with any declared dividend, including any declared dividend payable in connection with a conversion, exceed a number equal to:

(ii) $38.50, which amount represents approximately 35% of the Initial Price, subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to any anti-dilution adjustment to each Fixed Conversion Rate as provided in Section 13 (such dollar amount, as adjusted, the “Floor Price”).

To the extent that the amount of any declared dividend exceeds the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock delivered in connection with such declared dividend and (y) 97% of the Average Price, the Corporation shall, if it is able to do so under applicable law and in compliance with the Corporation’s indebtedness, notwithstanding any notice by the Corporation to the contrary, pay such excess amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent).

(f) To the extent that a Shelf Registration Statement is required in the Corporation’s reasonable judgment in connection with the issuance of, or for resales of, Common Stock issued as payment of a dividend on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including dividends paid in connection with a conversion, the Corporation shall, to the extent such a Shelf Registration Statement is not currently filed and effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of such a Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of such time as all such shares of Common Stock have been resold thereunder and such time as all such shares are freely tradable without registration by holders thereof that are not “affiliates” of the Corporation for purposes of the Securities Act. To the extent applicable, the Corporation shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Common Stock approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market (or if the Common Stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed), and qualified or registered under applicable state securities laws, if required; provided that the Corporation will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it is not presently subject to taxation as a foreign corporation and such qualification or action would subject it to such taxation.

Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, plus an amount (the “Liquidation Dividend Amount”) equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities owed to the Corporation’s creditors and holders of shares of any Senior Stock and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any Junior Stock, including, without limitation, Common Stock.

(b) If, upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, the amounts payable with respect to (1) the Liquidation Preference plus the Liquidation Dividend Amount of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and (2) the liquidation preference of, and the amount of

accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding up, on, all Parity Stock, if applicable, are not paid in full, the Holders and all holders of any such Parity Stock shall share equally and ratably in any distribution of the Corporation’s assets in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences and amounts equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled.

(c) After the payment to any Holder of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and the Liquidation Dividend Amount for each of such Holder’s shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, such Holder as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

(d) Neither the sale of all or substantially all of Corporation’s assets or business (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation), nor its merger or consolidation into or with any other Person, shall be deemed to be the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation.

Section 5. Acquisition Termination Redemption; No Sinking Fund.

Other than pursuant to the acquisition termination redemption provisions set forth in this Section 5, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be subject to any redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. However, at the Corporation’s option, it may purchase or exchange the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market, by tender or exchange offer or otherwise.

Within 10 Business Days following the earlier of (a) the close of business on September 30, 2017, if the consummation of the RidgeWorth Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to such time on such date, and (b) the date on which an Acquisition Termination Event occurs, the Corporation may, at its option, give notice of an acquisition termination redemption (an “Acquisition Termination Redemption”) to the Holders (provided that, to the extent the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are held in book-entry form through the Depository, the Corporation may give such notice in any manner permitted by the Depository). If the Corporation provides notice of Acquisition Termination Redemption to Holders, then, on the Acquisition Termination Redemption Date, the Corporation will redeem the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole, but not in part, at a redemption amount per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount. The Corporation shall pay the Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount in cash unless the Acquisition Termination Share Price is greater than the Initial Price, in which case it will pay the Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount in shares of Common Stock and cash, unless it elects, subject to certain limitations, to pay the Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount in cash or shares of Common Stock in lieu thereof.

If any portion of the Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount is to be paid in shares of Common Stock, no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the Holders. The Corporation shall instead pay a

cash adjustment to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Common Stock based on the Average VWAP per share of Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the seventh Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Acquisition Termination Redemption Date. If more than one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is to be redeemed from a Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the payment of the Reference Amount shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock so redeemed.

To the extent a Shelf Registration Statement is required in the Corporation’s reasonable judgment in connection with the issuance of or for resales of Common Stock issued in payment of the Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount, the Corporation shall, to the extent such a Shelf Registration Statement is not currently filed and effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of such a Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of such time as all such shares of Common Stock have been resold thereunder and such time as all such shares are freely tradable without registration by holders thereof that are not “affiliates” of the Corporation for purposes of the Securities Act. To the extent applicable, the Corporation shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the shares of Common Stock approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market (or if the Common Stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed) and qualified or registered under applicable state securities laws, if required; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject the Corporation to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where the Corporation is not presently qualified or where the Corporation is not presently subject to taxation as a foreign corporation and such qualification or action would subject the Corporation to such taxation.

The notice of Acquisition Termination Redemption shall specify, among other things:

(ii) if the Acquisition Termination Share Price exceeds the Initial Price, the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount of cash comprising the Reference Amount per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (before giving effect to any election to pay or deliver, with respect to each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, cash in lieu of all or a portion of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Acquisition Termination Conversion Rate or shares of Common Stock in lieu of some or all of the cash in respect of the Acquisition Termination Dividend Amount);

(iii) if the Acquisition Termination Share Price exceeds the Initial Price, whether the Corporation will pay cash in lieu of delivering all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Acquisition Termination Conversion Rate comprising a portion of the Reference Amount (specifying, if applicable, the number of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which cash will be paid);

(iv) if the Acquisition Termination Share Price exceeds the Initial Price, whether the Corporation will deliver shares of Common Stock in lieu of paying cash for all or any portion of the Acquisition Termination Dividend Amount comprising a portion of the Reference Amount (specifying, if applicable, the percentage of the Acquisition Termination Dividend Amount in respect of which shares of common stock will be delivered in lieu of cash); and

(v) the Acquisition Termination Redemption Date (specifying, as applicable, a fixed date or that the Acquisition Termination Redemption Date will be the third Business Day following the last Trading Day of the 20 consecutive Trading Day period used to determine the Acquisition Termination Market Value).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be entitled to mail a notice of Acquisition Termination Redemption or otherwise exercise or take any action with respect to its redemption rights hereunder if any such actions would cause the Corporation or the Underwriters to violate Regulation M under the Exchange Act as a result of the purchase and/or resale of Shares (as such term is defined in the Underwriting Agreements (including any additional shares that such Underwriters have the option to purchase) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements.

(a) General. Holders shall not have any voting rights other than those set forth in this Section 6, except as specifically required by Delaware corporate law or by the Charter from time to time.

(b) Right to Elect Two Directors Upon Nonpayment. (i) Whenever dividends on any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend periods (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Dividend Period beginning on, and including, the Initial Issue Date and ending on, but excluding, May 1, 2017), whether or not for consecutive Dividend Periods (a “Nonpayment”), the authorized number of directors of the Board of Directors shall, at the next annual meeting of the stockholders or at a special meeting of stockholders as provided below, automatically be increased by two and Holders, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other series of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding, shall be entitled, at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting of stockholders as provided below, to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the Board of Directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”); provided that the election of any such Preferred Stock Directors will not cause the Corporation to violate the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors; and provided further that the Board of Directors shall, at no time, include more than two Preferred Stock Directors.

(ii) In the event of a Nonpayment, the holders of record of at least 25% of the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series of Voting Preferred Stock may request that a special meeting of stockholders be called to elect such Preferred Stock Directors (provided, however, that if the next annual or a special meeting of stockholders is scheduled to be held within 90 days of the receipt of such request, the election of such Preferred Stock Directors shall be included in the agenda for, and shall be held at, such scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders). The Preferred Stock Directors shall stand for reelection annually, at each subsequent annual meeting of the stockholders, so long as the Holders continue to have such voting rights. At any meeting at which the Holders are entitled to elect Preferred Stock Directors, the holders of record of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all other series of Voting Preferred Stock, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and other Voting Preferred Stock so present or represented by proxy at any such meeting at which there shall be a quorum shall be sufficient to elect the Preferred Stock Directors. Whether a plurality, majority or other portion in voting power of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Voting Preferred Stock have been voted in favor of any matter shall be determined by reference to the respective liquidation preference amounts of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such other Voting Preferred Stock voted.

(iii) If and when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have been paid in full, or declared and a sum or number of shares of Common Stock sufficient for such payment shall have been set aside (a “Nonpayment Remedy”), the Holders shall immediately and, without any further action by the Corporation, be divested of the voting rights described in this Section 6(b), subject to the revesting of such rights in the event of each subsequent Nonpayment. If such voting rights for the Holders and all other holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall have terminated, the term of office of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate at such time and the authorized number of directors on the Board of Directors shall automatically decrease by two.

(iv) Any Preferred Stock Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class), when they have the voting rights described in this Section 6(b). In the event that a Nonpayment shall have occurred and there shall not have been a Nonpayment Remedy, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Stock Director (other than prior to the initial election of Preferred Stock Directors after a Nonpayment) may be filled by the written consent of the Preferred Stock Director remaining in office, except in the event that such vacancy is created as a result of such Preferred Stock Director being removed or if no Preferred

Stock Director remains in office, such vacancy may be filled by a vote of the Holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class) when they have the voting rights described above; provided that the filling of each vacancy will not cause the Corporation to violate the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter that shall come before the Board of Directors for a vote.

(c) Other Voting Rights. So long as any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all other series of Voting Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6(c)), voting together as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at an annual or special meeting of such stockholders:

(i) amend or alter the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any Senior Stock;

(ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Charter or the Certificate of Designations so as to adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; or

(iii) consummate a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another entity, unless in each case: (i) the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding and are not amended in any respect or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent; and (ii) such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole;

provided, however, that in the event a transaction would trigger voting rights under clauses (ii) and (iii) above, clause (iii) shall govern; provided, further, however, that for all purposes of this Section 6(c):

shall be deemed not to adversely affect the special rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of Holders.

If any amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation specified in this Section 6(c) would affect one or more but not all series of Voting Preferred Stock (including the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for this purpose), then only the series of Voting Preferred Stock adversely affected and entitled to vote shall vote as a class in lieu of all other series of Voting Preferred Stock.

(d) Without the consent of the Holders, the Corporation may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to:

(e) Prior to the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding and Holders shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock by virtue of holding the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including the right to vote on any amendment to the Corporation’s Charter or this Certificate of Designations that would adversely affect the rights of holders of the Common Stock.

(f) The number of votes that each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any Voting Preferred Stock participating in the votes set forth in this Section 6 shall have and shall be in proportion to the liquidation preference of such share.

(g) The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Holders (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 procedural aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading facility on which the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

Section 7. Mandatory Conversion on the Mandatory Conversion Date. (a) Each outstanding share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert (unless previously converted or redeemed in accordance with Section 5, Section 8 or Section 9) on the Mandatory Conversion Date (“Mandatory Conversion”), into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Mandatory Conversion Rate.

(b) The “Mandatory Conversion Rate” shall, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7(c), be as follows:

(i) if the Applicable Market Value is greater than the Threshold Appreciation Price, then the Mandatory Conversion Rate shall be equal to 0.7576 shares of Common Stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Minimum Conversion Rate”);

(ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Threshold Appreciation Price but equal to or greater than the Initial Price, then the Mandatory Conversion Rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be equal to $100.00 divided by the Applicable Market Value, rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share of Common Stock; or

(iii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Initial Price, then the Mandatory Conversion Rate shall be equal to 0.9091 shares of Common Stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Maximum Conversion Rate”);

provided that the Fixed Conversion Rates are each subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.

(c) If the Corporation declares a dividend for the Dividend Period ending on February 1, 2020, the Corporation shall pay such dividend to the Record Holders as of the immediately preceding Regular Record Date, in accordance with Section 3. If on or prior to February 1, 2020, the Corporation has not declared all or any portion of the accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock through February 1, 2020, the Mandatory Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that Holders receive an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to:

(i) the amount of such accumulated and unpaid dividends that have not been declared (“Mandatory Conversion Additional Conversion Amount”), divided by

(ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 97% of the Average Price (calculated as though February 1, 2020 is the applicable Dividend Payment Date).

To the extent that the Mandatory Conversion Additional Conversion Amount exceeds the product of such number of additional shares and 97% of the Average Price, the Corporation shall, if it is able to do so under applicable law and in compliance with the Corporation’s indebtedness, declare and pay such excess amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) pro rata to the Holders.

Section 8. Early Conversion at the Option of the Holder. (a) Other than during a Fundamental Change Conversion Period, subject to satisfaction of the conversion procedures set forth in Section 10, the Holders shall have the right to convert their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part (but in no event less than one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), at any time prior to February 1, 2020 (“Early Conversion”), into shares of Common Stock at the Minimum Conversion Rate, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 8(b).

(b) If, as of any Early Conversion Date, the Corporation has not declared all or any portion of the accumulated and unpaid dividends for all full Dividend Periods ending on a Dividend Payment Date prior to such Early Conversion Date, the Minimum Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, with respect to the relevant Early Conversion, so that the Holders converting their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at such time receive an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to:

(i) such amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends that have not been declared for such full Dividend Periods (the “Early Conversion Additional Conversion Amount”), divided by

(ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) the Average VWAP per share of the Common Stock over the 20 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Early Conversion Settlement Period”) commencing on, and including, the 22nd Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Early Conversion Date (such average being referred to as the “Early Conversion Average Price”).

To the extent that the Early Conversion Additional Conversion Amount exceeds the product of such number of additional shares and the Early Conversion Average Price, the Corporation shall not have any obligation to pay the shortfall in cash.

Except as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8(b), upon any Early Conversion of any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends on such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, unless such Early Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date for a declared dividend and on or prior to the immediately succeeding Dividend Payment Date, in which case the Corporation shall pay such dividend on such Dividend Payment Date to the Record Holder of the converted shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as of such Regular Record Date, in accordance with Section 3.

Section 9. Fundamental Change Conversion. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs on or prior to February 1, 2020, the Holders shall have the right (the “Fundamental Change Conversion Right”) during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period to:

(i) convert their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part (but in no event less than one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) (any such conversion pursuant to this Section 9(a) being a “Fundamental Change Conversion”) into a number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property in accordance with Section 14) equal to the Fundamental Change Conversion Rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock;

(ii) with respect to such converted shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, receive an amount equal to the present value, calculated using a discount rate of 7.25% per annum, of all dividend

payments on such shares (excluding any Accumulated Dividend Amount) for (a) the partial Dividend Period, if any, from, and including, the Fundamental Change Effective Date to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date and (b) all the remaining full Dividend Periods from, and including, the Dividend Payment Date following the Fundamental Change Effective Date to, but excluding, February 1, 2020 (the “Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount”), payable in cash; and

(iii) with respect to such converted shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, receive the Accumulated Dividend Amount payable in cash,

subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Corporation’s right to deliver shares of Common Stock in lieu of all or part of such amounts as set forth in Section 9(d); provided that, if the Fundamental Change Effective Date or the Fundamental Change Conversion Date falls after the Regular Record Date for a declared dividend and prior to the next Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation shall pay such dividend on such Dividend Payment Date to the Record Holders as of such Regular Record Date, in accordance with Section 3, and such dividend shall not be included in the Accumulated Dividend Amount, and the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount shall not include the present value of the payment of such dividend.

(b) To exercise the Fundamental Change Conversion Right, Holders must submit their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion at any time during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period. Holders who do not submit their shares for conversion during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period shall not be entitled to convert their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at the relevant Fundamental Change Conversion Rate or to receive the relevant Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount or the relevant Accumulated Dividend Amount.

The Corporation shall provide written notice (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) to Holders of the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date at least 20 calendar days prior to such anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date or if such prior notice is not practicable, no later than the second Business Day immediately following the actual Fundamental Change Effective Date. The Fundamental Change Notice shall state:

(ii) the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date or actual Fundamental Change Effective Date, as the case may be;

(iii) that Holders shall have the right to effect a Fundamental Change Conversion in connection with such Fundamental Change during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period;

(v) the instructions a Holder must follow to effect a Fundamental Change Conversion in connection with such Fundamental Change.

If the Corporation notifies Holders of a Fundamental Change later than the 20th calendar day prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date, the Fundamental Change Conversion Period shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days from, and including, the 20th calendar day prior to the Fundamental Change Effective Date to, but excluding, the date of such notice; provided that the Fundamental Change Conversion Period shall not be extended beyond the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(c) Not later than the second Business Day following the Fundamental Change Effective Date (or, if the Corporation provides notice to Holders of the Fundamental Change prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, on the date the Corporation gives Holders notice of the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date), the Corporation shall notify Holders of:

(i) the Fundamental Change Conversion Rate (if notice is provided to Holders prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date, specifying how the Fundamental Change Conversion Rate will be determined);

(ii) the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and whether the Corporation will pay such amount in cash, shares of Common Stock (or to the extent applicable, Units of Exchange Property) or a combination thereof, specifying the combination, if applicable; and

(iii) the Accumulated Dividend Amount as of the Fundamental Change Effective Date and whether the Corporation will pay such amount in cash, shares of Common Stock (or to the extent applicable, Units of Exchange Property) or a combination thereof, specifying the combination, if applicable.

(d) (i) For any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that are converted during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period, in addition to the Common Stock issued upon conversion at the Fundamental Change Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall at its option (subject to satisfaction of the requirements of this Section):

(A) pay the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent), to the extent the Corporation is legally permitted to do so;

(B) increase the number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property) to be issued on conversion by a number equal to (x) the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount divided by (y) the greater of (i) the Floor Price and (ii) 97% of the Fundamental Change Share Price; or

(C) pay the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property) in accordance with the provisions of clauses (A) and (B) above.

(ii) In addition, to the extent that the Accumulated Dividend Amount exists as of the Fundamental Change Effective Date, the converting Holder shall be entitled to receive such Accumulated Dividend Amount upon such Fundamental Change Conversion. The Corporation shall, at its option, pay the Accumulated Dividend Amount (subject to satisfaction of the requirements of this Section):

(A) in cash (computed to the nearest cent), to the extent the Corporation is legally permitted to do so;

(B) in an additional number of shares of Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property) equal to (x) the Accumulated Dividend Amount divided by (y) the greater of (i) the Floor Price and (ii) 97% of the Fundamental Change Share Price; or

(C) through any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property) in accordance with the provisions of clauses (A) and (B) above.

(iii) The Corporation shall pay the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and the Accumulated Dividend Amount in cash, except to the extent the Corporation elects on or prior to the second Business Day following the relevant Fundamental Change Effective Date to make all or any portion of such payments in Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property). If the Corporation elects to deliver Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property) in respect of all or any portion of the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount or the Accumulated Dividend Amount, to the extent that the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount or the Accumulated Dividend Amount or the dollar amount of any portion thereof paid in Common Stock (or Units of Exchange Property) exceeds the product of the number of additional shares the Corporation delivers in respect thereof and 97% of the Fundamental Change Share Price, the Corporation shall, if it is able to do so under applicable law and in compliance with the Corporation’s indebtedness, pay such excess amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent).

(iv) No fractional shares of Common Stock (or, to the extent applicable, Units of Exchange Property) shall be delivered by the Corporation to converting Holders in respect of the Fundamental

Change Dividend Make-whole Amount or the Accumulated Dividend Amount. The Corporation shall instead pay a cash adjustment (computed to the nearest cent) to each a converting Holder that would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Common Stock (or to the extent applicable, Units of Exchange Property) based on the Average VWAP per share of Common Stock (or to the extent applicable, Units of Exchange Property) over the five consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the seventh Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Conversion Date.

(v) If the Corporation is prohibited from paying or delivering, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount (whether in cash or in shares of Common Stock), in whole or in part, due to limitations of applicable Delaware law, the Fundamental Change Conversion Rate will instead be increased by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to:

(A) the cash amount of the aggregate unpaid and undelivered Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount, divided by

(B) the greater of (i) the Floor Price and (ii) 97% of the Fundamental Change Share Price.

To the extent that the cash amount of the aggregate unpaid and undelivered Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount exceeds the product of such number of additional shares and 97% of the Fundamental Change Share Price, the Corporation shall not have any obligation to pay the shortfall in cash.

Section 10. Conversion Procedures. (a) Pursuant to Section 7, on the Mandatory Conversion Date, any outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock.

If more than one share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by the same Holder is automatically converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock so converted. A Holder of shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that are mandatorily converted shall not be required to pay any taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of the Common Stock, except that such Holder shall be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of the Common Stock in a name other than the name of such Holder.

A certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be issued and delivered to the converting Holder or, if Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted are in book-entry form, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be delivered to the converting Holder through book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Depositary, in each case together with delivery by the Corporation to the converting Holder of any cash to which the converting Holder is entitled, on the later of (i) the Mandatory Conversion Date and (ii) the Business Day after the Holder has paid in full all applicable taxes and duties, if any.

The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon Mandatory Conversion shall be treated as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date. Except as provided under Section 13, prior to the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose and Holders shall have no rights with respect to such Common Stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate or a facsimile of such conversion notice;

(ii) deliver the completed conversion notice and the certificated shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted to the Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to effect an Early Conversion pursuant to Section 8 of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held in global form, the Holder must, in lieu of the foregoing, comply with the applicable procedures of DTC (or any other depositary for the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held in global form appointed by the Corporation).

The Early Conversion shall be effective on the date on which a Holder has satisfied the foregoing requirements, to the extent applicable (“Early Conversion Date”).

If more than one share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered.

A Holder shall not be required to pay any taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of Common Stock upon conversion, but such Holder shall be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Common Stock in a name other than the name of such Holder.

A certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be issued and delivered to the converting Holder or, if Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted are in book-entry form, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be delivered to the converting Holder through book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Depositary, in each case together with delivery by the Corporation to the converting Holder of any cash to which the converting Holder is entitled, on the latest of (i) the third Business Day immediately succeeding the Early Conversion Date, (ii) the third Business Day immediately succeeding the last day of the Early Conversion Settlement Period, and (iii) the Business Day after the Holder has paid in full all applicable taxes and duties, if any.

The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon Early Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the applicable Early Conversion Date. Except as set forth in Section 13, prior to the close of business on such applicable Early Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose, and Holders shall have no rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

In the event that an Early Conversion is effected with respect to shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by a Holder, upon such Early Conversion the Corporation shall execute and instruct the Registrar and Transfer Agent to countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a certificate evidencing the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to which Early Conversion was not effected, or, if Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is held in book-entry form, the Corporation shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to reduce the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the global certificate by making a notation on Schedule I attached to the global certificate or otherwise notate such reduction in the register maintained by such Transfer Agent and Registrar.

(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate or a facsimile of such conversion notice;

(ii) deliver the completed conversion notice and the certificated shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted to the Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to effect a Fundamental Change Conversion pursuant to Section 9 of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held in global form, the Holder must, in lieu of the foregoing, comply with the applicable procedures of DTC (or any other depositary for the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held in global form appointed by the Corporation).

The Fundamental Change Conversion shall be effective on the date on which a Holder has satisfied the foregoing requirements, to the extent applicable (the “Fundamental Change Conversion Date”).

If more than one share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same holder, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered.

A certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be issued and delivered to the converting Holder or, if Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted are in book-entry form, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be delivered to the converting Holder through book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Depositary, in each case together with delivery by the Corporation to the converting Holder of any cash to which the converting Holder is entitled, on the later of (i) the third Business Day immediately succeeding the Fundamental Change Conversion Date and (ii) the Business Day after the Holder has paid in full all applicable taxes and duties, if any.

The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Fundamental Change Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the applicable Fundamental Change Conversion Date. Except as set forth in Section 13, prior to the close of business on such applicable Fundamental Change Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be outstanding for any purpose, and Holders shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

In the event that a Fundamental Change Conversion is effected with respect to shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by a Holder, upon such Fundamental Change Conversion the Corporation shall execute and instruct the Registrar and Transfer Agent to countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a certificate evidencing the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to which Fundamental Change Conversion was not effected, or, if Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is held in book-entry form, the Corporation shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to reduce the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the global certificate by making a notation on Schedule I attached to the global certificate or otherwise notate such reduction in the register maintained by such Transfer Agent and Registrar.

(d) In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock should be registered or, if applicable, the address to which the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock should be sent, the Corporation shall be entitled to register such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder as shown on the records of the Corporation and, if applicable, to send the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock to the address of such Holder shown on the records of the Corporation.

(e) Shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding on the applicable Conversion Date, subject to the right of Holders of such shares to receive shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and other amounts and shares of Common Stock, if any, to which they are entitled pursuant to Sections 7, 8 or 9, as applicable and, if the applicable Conversion Date occurs after the Regular Record Date for a declared dividend and prior to the immediately succeeding Dividend Payment Date, subject to the right of the Record Holders of such shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on such Regular Record Date to receive payment of the full amount of such declared dividend on such Dividend Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.

Section 11. Reservation of Common Stock. (a) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion during a Fundamental Change Conversion Period). For purposes of this Section 11(a), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or as payment of any dividend on such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock reacquired and held in the treasury of the Corporation (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock), so long as any such treasury shares are free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).

(c) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion or redemption of, or as payment of a dividend on, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders) and free of preemptive rights.

(d) Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.

(e) The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Corporation shall, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Mandatory Conversion Additional Conversion Amount or Early Conversion Additional Conversion Amount) of, or issuable in respect of the payment of dividends, the Accumulated Dividend Amount, the Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount and Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount on, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Corporation to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the earlier of (x) the first conversion of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions hereof and (y) the first payment of any dividends, any Accumulated Dividend Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount or any Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred

Stock, the Corporation covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon the earlier of (1) the first conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and (2) the first payment of any dividends, any Accumulated Dividend Amount, any Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount or Acquisition Termination Make-whole Amount on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

Section 12. Fractional Shares. (a) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued to Holders as a result of any conversion of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(b) In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder that are converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date pursuant to Section 7 or at the option of the Holder pursuant to Section 8 or Section 9, the Corporation shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the product of (i) that same fraction and (ii) the Average VWAP of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the seventh Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date, Early Conversion Date or Fundamental Change Conversion Date, as applicable.

Section 13. Anti-Dilution Adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Rates. (a) Each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as set forth in this Section 13, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Rates if Holders participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in any of the transactions set forth in Sections 13(a)(i)-(vi) without having to convert their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Maximum Conversion Rate as of the Record Date for such transaction, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder.

(i) If the Corporation exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Corporation effects a share split or share combination, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

Any adjustment made under this Section 13(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 13(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(ii) If the Corporation issues to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Average VWAP per share of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

Any increase made under this Section 13(a)(ii) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be decreased to such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For the purpose of this Section 13(a)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Average VWAP per share for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof.

(iii) If the Corporation distributes shares of its capital stock, evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness, other assets or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its capital stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding:

(A) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 13(a)(i) or Section 13(a)(ii);

(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 13(a)(iv) shall apply;

(C) any dividends and distributions in connection with a recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or other combination, share exchange, or sale, lease or other transfer or disposition resulting in the change in the conversion consideration as set forth under Section 14;

(D) except as otherwise set forth in Section 13(a)(vi), rights issued pursuant to a shareholder rights plan adopted by the Corporation; and

(E) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 13(a)(iii) shall apply;

then each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 13(a)(iii) will become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to be such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), or if the difference is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, in respect of each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock, the amount and kind of the Corporation’s capital stock, evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness, other assets or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its capital stock or other securities that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13(a)(iii) where there has been a Spin-Off, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

The increase to each Fixed Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will become effective at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any date for determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder occurs during the Valuation Period, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Day as have elapsed between the beginning of the Valuation Period and such determination date for purposes of determining such Fixed Conversion Rate. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

For purposes of this Section 13(a)(iii) (and subject in all respects to Section 13(a)(i) and Section 13(a)(ii)):

(A) rights, options or warrants distributed by the Corporation to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain conditions), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 13(a)(iii) (and no adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Rates under this Section 13(a)(iii) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Fixed Conversion Rates shall be made under this Section 13(a)(iii).

(B) If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the Initial Issue Date, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof).

(C) In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding clause (B)) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Rates under this clause (iii) was made:

(1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or repurchase (x) the Fixed Conversion Rates shall be readjusted as if such

rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Fixed Conversion Rates shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution pursuant to Section 13(a)(iv), equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase; and

(2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Fixed Conversion Rates shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued;

provided that, in each case, such rights, options or warrants are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock and are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock.

For purposes of Section 13(a)(i), Section 13(a)(ii) and this Section 13(a)(iii), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13(a)(iii) is applicable includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13(a)(i) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) an issuance of rights, options or warrants to which Section 13(a)(ii) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

(1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 13(a)(iii) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Fixed Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 13(a)(iii) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made; and

(2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Fixed Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 13(a)(i) and Section 13(a)(ii) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Corporation (I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 13(a)(i) or “outstanding immediately prior to close of business on such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 13(a)(ii).

(iv) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.45 per share (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the conversion rate; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment to the conversion rate under this Section 13(a)(iv).

Any increase made under this Section 13(a)(iv) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), or if the difference is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Conversion Rate on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(v) If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Average VWAP per share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), each Fixed Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

The increase to each Fixed Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph will become effective at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any date for determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder occurs within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date of any tender or exchange offer, the reference to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date of such tender or exchange offer and such determination date for purposes of determining such Fixed Conversion Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment under this Section 13(a)(v) will be made if such adjustment would result in a decrease in any Fixed Conversion Rate.

In the event that the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Corporation or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then each Fixed Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be such Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.

(A) the record date for a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock occurs after the end of the 20 consecutive Trading Day period used for calculating the Applicable Market Value and before the Mandatory Conversion Date; and

(B) such dividend or distribution would have resulted in an adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holders had such record date occurred on or before the last Trading Day of such 20-trading day period, then the Corporation shall deem the Holders to be holders of record, for each share of their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Mandatory Conversion Rate for purposes of that dividend or distribution. In such a case, the Holders would receive the dividend or distribution on Common Stock together with the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon mandatory conversion of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(vii) If the Corporation has a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Holders shall receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock received in connection with such conversion, the rights under the rights plan. However, if, prior to any conversion, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rights plan, each Fixed Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation distributed to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, shares of its capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as set forth in Section 13(a)(iii), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(viii) The Corporation may also (but is not required to) increase each Fixed Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason. However, in either case, the Corporation may only make such a discretionary adjustment if it makes the same proportionate adjustment to each Fixed Conversion Rate.

(A) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under any plan;

(B) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase such shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future benefit or other incentive plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries;

(C) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in (A) or (B) of this Section 13(a)(ix) and outstanding as of the Initial Issue Date;

(E) for stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 13(a)(v), including structured or derivative transactions or pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors;

(F) for accumulated dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, except as described in Sections 7, 8 and 9; or

(G) for any other issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities, except as otherwise stated herein.

(x) Adjustments to each Fixed Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share. Except as otherwise provided above, the Corporation will be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Fundamental Change Share Price, the VWAPs, the Average VWAPs and the Fixed Conversion Rates of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(xi) For the avoidance of doubt, if an adjustment is made to the Fixed Conversion Rates, no separate inversely proportional adjustment will be made to the Initial Price or the Threshold Appreciation Price because the Initial Price is equal to $100.00 divided by the Maximum Conversion Rate (as adjusted in the manner described herein) and the Threshold Appreciation Price is equal to $100.00 divided by the Minimum Conversion Rate (as adjusted in the manner described herein).

(xii) Whenever any provision of the Certificate of Designations requires the Corporation to calculate the VWAP per share of Common Stock over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors, or any authorized committee thereof, shall make appropriate adjustments (including, without limitation, to the Applicable Market Value, the Early Conversion Average Price, the Fundamental Change Share Price and the Average Price, as the case may be) to account for any adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Rates (as the case may be) that become effective, or any event that would require such an adjustment if the Ex-Date, Effective Date, Record Date or Expiration Date, as the case may be, of such event occurs during the relevant period used to calculate such prices or values, as the case may be.

(b) Whenever the Fixed Conversion Rates and the Fundamental Change Conversion Rates set forth in the table in the definition of “Fundamental Change Conversion Rate” are to be adjusted, the Corporation shall:

(i) compute such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rates and Fundamental Change Conversion Rates;

(ii) within 10 Business Days after the Fixed Conversion Rates are to be adjusted, provide or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event; and

(iii) within 10 Business Days after the Fixed Conversion Rates are to be adjusted, provide or cause to be provided, to the Holders, upon written request by a beneficial owner of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustments to the Fixed Conversion Rates and Fundamental Change Conversion Rates were determined and setting forth such adjusted Fixed Conversion Rates and Fundamental Change Conversion Rates.

Section 14. Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Common Stock. In the event of:

(i) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation and in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Corporation or another Person);

(ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation;

(iii) any reclassification of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock; or

(iv) any statutory exchange of securities of the Corporation with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition),

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (each, a “Reorganization Event”), each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of the Holders, become convertible into the kind of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive if such Holder had converted its Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (such stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), the “Exchange Property,” with each “Unit of Exchange Property” meaning the kind and amount of such Exchange Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive).

If the transaction causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the Exchange Property into which the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be deemed to be:

(i) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election; and

(ii) if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of the Common Stock.

The Corporation shall notify Holders of the weighted average referred to in clause (i) in the preceding sentence as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

The number of Units of Exchange Property the Corporation shall deliver for each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock converted or subject to Acquisition Termination Redemption following the effective date of such Reorganization Event shall be determined as if references in Section 7, Section 8 and Section 9 to shares of Common Stock were to Units of Exchange Property (without interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon which have a Record Date that is prior to the date such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred stock are actually converted). For the purpose of determining which of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 7(b) shall apply upon Mandatory Conversion, and for the purpose of calculating the Mandatory Conversion Rate if clause (ii) of Section 7(b) is applicable, the value of a Unit of Exchange Property shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or an authorized committee thereof (which determination will be final), except that if a Unit of Exchange Property includes common stock or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) that are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, the value of such common stock or ADRs shall be the average over the 20 consecutive Trading Day period used for calculating the Applicable Market Value of the volume weighted Average Prices for such common stock or ADRs, as displayed on the applicable Bloomberg screen (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or an authorized committee thereof (which determination will

be final)); or, if such price is not available, the average market value per share of such common stock or ADRs over such period as determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Corporation for this purpose.

The above provisions of this Section 14 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events, and the provisions of Section 13 shall apply to any shares of capital stock or ADRs of the Corporation (or any successor thereto) received by the holders of Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.

The Corporation (or any successor thereto) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 20 calendar days) after the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitute the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 14.

In connection with any adjustment to the conversion rate described in this Section 14, the Corporation shall also adjust the Initial Dividend Threshold based on the number of shares of Common Stock comprising the Exchange Property and (if applicable) the value of any non-stock consideration comprising the Exchange Property. If the Exchange Property is composed solely of non-stock consideration, the Initial Dividend Threshold shall be zero.

Section 15. Transfer Agent, Registrar, and Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent. The duly appointed Transfer Agent, Registrar and Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent for Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, remove the Transfer Agent, Registrar or Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent in accordance with the agreement between the Corporation and the Transfer Agent, Registrar or Conversion and Dividend Disbursing Agent, as the case may be; provided that if the Corporation removes Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Corporation shall appoint a successor transfer agent, registrar or conversion and dividend disbursing agent, as the case may be, who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Corporation shall send notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders.

Section 16. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation and the Transfer Agent may deem and treat the Holder of any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes.

Section 17. Notices. All notices or communications in respect of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Certificate of Designations, in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws and by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are represented by Global Preferred Shares, such notices may also be given to the Holders in any manner permitted by DTC or any similar facility used for the settlement of transactions in Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

Section 18. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders shall have no preemptive or preferential rights to purchase or subscribe for any stock, obligations, warrants or other securities of the Corporation of any class.

Section 19. Other Rights. The shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not have any rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law.

Section 20. Book-Entry Form. (a) The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent global shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in definitive, fully registered form eligible for book-entry settlement with the global legend as set forth on the form of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Global Preferred Share”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Certificate of Designations. The Global Preferred Shares may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Corporation is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form

acceptable to the Corporation). The Global Preferred Shares shall be deposited on behalf of the Holders represented thereby with the Registrar, at its New York office as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary, duly executed by the Corporation and countersigned and registered by the Registrar as hereinafter provided. The aggregate number of shares represented by each Global Preferred Share may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

This Section 20(a) shall apply only to a Global Preferred Share deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The Corporation shall execute and the Registrar shall, in accordance with this Section 20(a), countersign and deliver any Global Preferred Shares that (i) shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of the Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Registrar to Cede & Co. or pursuant to instructions received from Cede & Co. or held by the Registrar as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to an agreement between the Depositary and the Registrar. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Global Preferred Share held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Registrar as the custodian of the Depositary, or under such Global Preferred Share, and the Depositary may be treated by the Corporation, the Registrar and any agent of the Corporation or the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Preferred Share for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Registrar or any agent of the Corporation or the Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Preferred Share. The Holder of the Global Preferred Shares may grant proxies or otherwise authorize any Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take pursuant to the Global Preferred Shares, this Certificate of Designations or the Charter.

Owners of beneficial interests in Global Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, unless (x) the Depositary notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Preferred Shares and the Corporation does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within 90 days or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and the Corporation does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within 90 days. In any such case, the Global Preferred Shares shall be exchanged in whole for definitive stock certificates that are not issued in global form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate Liquidation Preference, and such definitive stock certificates shall be registered in the name or names of the Person or Persons specified by the Depositary in a written instrument to the Registrar.

(b) Signature. Two Officers permitted by applicable law shall sign each Global Preferred Share for the Corporation, in accordance with the Corporation’s Bylaws and applicable law, by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Global Preferred Share no longer holds that office at the time the Registrar countersigned such Global Preferred Share, such Global Preferred Share shall be valid nevertheless. A Global Preferred Share shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Registrar manually countersigns such Global Preferred Share. Each Global Preferred Share shall be dated the date of its countersignature. The foregoing paragraph shall likewise apply to any certificate representing shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

Section 21. Listing. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if its listing application for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is approved by the NASDAQ Global Market, upon such listing, the Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.

If the Global Preferred Share or Global Preferred Shares, as the case may be, or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby shall be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market or any other stock exchange, the Depositary may, with the written approval of the Corporation, appoint a registrar (acceptable to the Corporation) for registration of such Global Preferred Share or Global Preferred Shares, as the case may be, or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby in accordance with the requirements of such exchange. Such registrar (which may be the Registrar if so permitted by the requirements of such exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Registrar upon the request or with the written approval of the Corporation. If the Global Preferred Share or Global Preferred Shares, as the case may be, or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred

Stock represented thereby, are listed on one or more other stock exchanges, the Registrar will, at the request and expense of the Corporation, arrange such facilities for the delivery, transfer, surrender and exchange of such Global Preferred Share or Global Preferred Shares, as the case may be, or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulations.

Section 22. Stock Certificates. (a) Shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be represented by stock certificates substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto.

(b) Stock certificates representing shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be signed by (i) the Chief Executive Officer, the President or a Vice President of the Corporation and (ii) by the Chief Financial Official, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable Delaware law, by manual or facsimile signature.

(c) A stock certificate representing shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be valid until manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent and Registrar. Each stock certificate representing shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock shall be dated the date of its countersignature.

(d) If any Officer of the Corporation who has signed a stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent and Registrar countersigns the stock certificate, the stock certificate shall be valid nonetheless.

Section 23. Replacement Certificates. If any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall, at the expense of the Holder, issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent Liquidation Preference of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and the Transfer Agent.
