h.Section 11(a)(vii) of the Certificate of Designations is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

CR1 = CR0 x [(OS0 + A) / (OS0 + B)]
CR0    =    the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity-Linked Securities
CR1    =    the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the issuance of such Equity-Linked Securities
OS0    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity-Linked Securities (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon (i) conversion of all convertible securities of the Company and (ii) exercise or vesting of any equity awards of the Company, including options and restricted stock units (using the treasury stock method as determined by the Company))
A    =    the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which Equity-Linked Securities may be converted)
B    =    the number of shares of Common Stock (or into which such Equity-Linked Securities may be converted) that would have been issued assuming such additional shares of Common Stock had been issued or deemed issued at a price per share of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Price (such amount determined by dividing the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued (or into which such Equity-Linked Securities may be converted) by the Conversion Price immediately prior to the execution of the definitive agreement on pricing such shares (or such Equity-Linked Securities))
    For purposes of this Section 11(a)(vii), the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or Equity-Linked Securities shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of (x) the purchase price payable solely in cash of all such securities plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Equity-Linked Securities into or for shares of Common Stock plus (z) the Fair

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11(a)(vii) shall become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance of such Common Stock or Equity-Linked Securities, as applicable.
    Upon the expiration or termination of any unconverted, unexercised or unexchanged Equity-Linked Security which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11(a)(vii), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to such Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such Equity-Linked Security had never been issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations (but subject to the last sentence of Section 13(a)), no adjustment will be made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11(a)(vii) to the extent, but only to the extent, such adjustment would cause the Conversion Price to be less than $3.42 per share of Common Stock (subject to proportionate adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits or stock combinations with respect to the Common Stock).”
3.The terms of this Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designations were duly approved by the written consent of the holders of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Corporation in accordance with the applicable terms of the Certificate of Designations and Sections 228 and 242 of the DGCL.
