With respect to any Dividend Accrual Date for which the Company does not for any reason (including because payment of any such Cash Dividends are prohibited by law) pay in cash all Dividends that accumulated during the relevant Dividend Accrual Period, any such accumulated and unpaid Dividends on a share of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Compounded Dividends”) will (whether or not earned or declared) be added to the Liquidation Preference of such share of the Series A Preferred Stock as of such Dividend Accrual Date. Any Compounded Dividends that remain unpaid as of any determination date shall increase the Liquidation Preference in accordance with the definition of “Liquidation Preference.” With respect to any Dividend Accrual Date where the Company does not pay in cash all Dividends that accumulated during the relevant Dividend Accrual Period, the proportion of any Compounded Dividend to Dividend in respect of any Holder with respect to such Dividend Accrual Period (the “Compounded Dividend Ratio”) shall be the same as the Compounded Dividend Ratio for such Dividend Accrual Period with respect to each Dividend paid to each other Holder that is entitled to a Dividend on such Dividend Accrual Date. Compounded Dividends in respect of any prior Dividend Accrual Periods may be paid in cash on any date (whether or not such date is a Dividend Accrual Date) if, as and when authorized by the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof as declared by the Company and any such payment will reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Liquidation Preference in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock as of when such payment is made; provided that the Company may not pay in cash any Accrued Dividends or Compounded Dividends with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock after a Conversion Notice has been delivered to the Conversion Agent hereunder in respect of such share. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Dividend may be declared unless paid in cash (it being understood that no Dividends may be declared in paid-in-securities or otherwise “in kind”).

(d)            Record Date. The record date for the cash payment of Dividends that are declared and paid on any relevant Dividend Accrual Date will be the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month which contains the relevant Dividend Accrual Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”), and the record date for any cash payment of any Compounded Dividends that were not declared and paid in cash on any relevant Dividend Accrual Date will be the close of business on the date that is established by the Board, or a duly authorized committee thereof, which will not be more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date on which such Dividends are paid in cash (each, a “Compounded Dividend Record Date”), in each case whether or not such day is a Business Day.

(e)            Participating Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, dividends or distributions may be authorized by the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, and declared and paid by the Company, or any duly authorized committee thereof, on any Junior Stock and Parity Stock from time to time (a “Common Dividend”); provided that at the time of such authorization, the Board or such committee authorizes an equivalent dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock (a “Participating Dividend”) such that (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same respective date as the Record Date and payment date for such Common Dividend and (2) the kind and amount of consideration payable per share of Series A Preferred Stock in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Dividend in respect of a number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (pursuant to Section 6 without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility contained therein) immediately prior to the Record Date for such Common Dividend.

(f)            Conversion Following a Record Date. If the Conversion Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock is prior to a Dividend Record Date or a Compounded Dividend Record Date, the Holder of such shares will not be entitled to any dividend in respect of such Dividend Record Date or Compounded Dividend Record Date, as applicable, other than Accrued Dividends and through the inclusion of Compounded Dividends in the Liquidation Preference as of the Conversion Date in the calculation under Section 6(a) or Section 7(a), as applicable. Subject to the last sentence of Section 4(c), if the Conversion Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock is on or after a Dividend Record Date or a Compounded Dividend Record Date but prior to the corresponding payment date for such dividend, the Holder of such shares as of such Dividend Record Date or Compounded Dividend Record Date, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive such dividend, notwithstanding the conversion of such shares prior to the applicable Dividend Accrual Date; provided that the amount of such Dividend or Compounded Dividend shall not be included for the purpose of determining the amount of Accrued Dividends or the Liquidation Preference under Section 6(a) or Section 7(a), as applicable, with respect to such Conversion Date.

SECTION 5.     Liquidation Rights. (a) Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Company may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Stock, and subject to the rights of the holders of any Senior Stock or Parity Stock and the rights of the Company’s existing and future creditors, to receive in full a liquidating distribution in cash and in the amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the Liquidation Preference plus (B) the Accrued Dividends with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of such distribution and (ii) the amount such Holders would have received had such Holders, immediately prior to such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (pursuant to Section 6 without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility contained therein). Holders shall not be entitled to any further payments in the event of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company other than what is expressly provided for in this Section 5 and will have no right or claim to any of the Company’s remaining assets.

(b)            Partial Payment. If in connection with any distribution described in Section 5(a) above, the assets of the Company or proceeds therefrom are not sufficient to pay in full the aggregate liquidating distributions required to be paid pursuant to Section 5(a) to all Holders and the liquidating distributions payable to all holders of any Parity Stock, the amounts distributed to the Holders and to the holders of all such Parity Stock shall be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

(c)            Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 5, the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company shall not be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, nor shall the merger, consolidation, statutory exchange or any other business combination transaction of the Company into or with any other Person or the merger, consolidation, statutory exchange or any other business combination transaction of any other Person into or with the Company be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

SECTION 6.     Right of the Holders to Convert. (a) From and after the satisfaction (or to the extent of the inapplicability) of the Voting Condition, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, subject to the conversion procedures set forth in Section 8, to convert each share of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock at any time into (i) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) (subject to the proviso in Section 4(f)) the sum of the Liquidation Preference and the Accrued Dividends with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable Conversion Date divided by (B) the Conversion Price as of the applicable Conversion Date plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 11(h). The right of conversion may be exercised as to all or any portion of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock from time to time; provided that, in each case, no right of conversion may be exercised by a Holder in respect of fewer than 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (unless such conversion relates to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Series A Preferred Stock (i) be convertible into Common Stock in a manner that would result in the Investor Parties and their Affiliates holding more than 49% (together with any shares of Common Stock held by the Investor Parties and their Affiliates) of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock, or (ii) have voting rights in excess of 49% (together with any shares of Common Stock held by the Investor Parties and their Affiliates) of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock, on an as-converted basis (such limitations, the “Conversion Limitation”). To the extent the Conversion Limitation on voting is applicable, each Holders’ voting rights will be cut back on a pro rata basis in order to comply with such Conversion Limitation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Limitation shall not apply to, or otherwise affect the consideration payable to Holders in connection with a Change of Control, liquidation or dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company.

(b)            The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

SECTION 7.     Mandatory Conversion by the Company. (a) So long as a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is in effect, at any time after the three (3) year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, if (i) the VWAP per share of Common Stock was greater than the Mandatory Conversion Price for at least twenty (20) Trading Days in any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (such thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period, the “Trading Period”), and (ii) either (x) the VWAP per share of Common Stock is greater than the Mandatory Conversion Price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company sends the applicable Notice of Mandatory Conversion referred to in Section 7(b) below or (y) the Company has not filed a press release or Exchange Act report between the last Trading Day in the Trading Period where the VWAP per share of Common Stock is greater than the Mandatory Conversion Price and the date the Company sends the applicable Notice of Mandatory Conversion referred to in Section 7(b) below, then the Company may elect to convert (a “Mandatory Conversion”) all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fraction share of Common Stock (the date of any Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 7(a), the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). In the case of a Mandatory Conversion of any share of Series A Preferred Stock, such share shall be converted into (i) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) (subject to the proviso in Section 4(f)) the sum of the Liquidation Preference and the Accrued Dividends with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Mandatory Conversion Date divided by (B) the Conversion Price of such share in effect as of the Mandatory Conversion Date plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 11(h).

(b)            Notice of Mandatory Conversion. If the Company elects to effect a Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the completion of the applicable thirty (30) day Trading Period referred to in Section 7(a) above, provide notice of the Mandatory Conversion to each Holder (such notice, a “Notice of Mandatory Conversion”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Notice of Mandatory Conversion does not limit a Holder’s right to convert on a Conversion Date prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Company shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days and no more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date on which the Company provides the Notice of Mandatory Conversion to the Holders. The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall state, as appropriate:

(i)            the Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Company; and

(ii)            the Conversion Rate as expected to be in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the number of shares Series A Preferred Stock to be converted from such Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder upon conversion of each such share of Series A Preferred Stock and the Liquidation Preference and amount of Accrued Dividends expected as of the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(c)            Partial Mandatory Conversion. In the event that the Mandatory Conversion is exercised with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, the shares to be converted shall be converted by the Company on a pro rata basis based on the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are converted, new certificates shall be issued representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that remain outstanding without charge to the Holder thereof, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 8.     Conversion Procedures and Effect of Conversion. (a) Conversion Procedure. A Holder must do each of the following in order to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8(a):

(i)            in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided by the Conversion Agent (the “Conversion Notice”), and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent; provided that a Conversion Notice may be conditional on the completion of a Change of Control or other corporate transaction;

(ii)            deliver to the Conversion Agent the certificate or certificates (if any) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted;

(iii)           if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

(iv)           if required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Company pursuant to Section 20.

The “Conversion Date” means (A) with respect to conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the option of any Holder pursuant to Section 6(a), the date on which such Holder complies with the procedures in this Section 8(a) (including the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion set forth in the Conversion Notice) and (B) with respect to Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7(a), the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(b)            Effect of Conversion. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Dividends shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding.

(c)            Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock on a Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or cash, securities or other property as of the close of business on such Conversion Date. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date and, if applicable, compliance by the applicable Holder with the relevant procedures contained in Section 8(a) (and in any event no later than three (3) Trading Days thereafter; provided however that, if a written notice from the Holder in accordance with Section 8(a)(i) specifies a date of delivery for any shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be delivered on the date so specified, which shall be no earlier than the second (2nd) Business Day immediately following the date of such notice and no later than the seventh (7th) Business Day thereafter), the Company shall issue the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion (and deliver payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 11(h)) and, to the extent applicable, any cash, securities or other property issuable thereon. Such delivery of shares of Common Stock, securities or other property shall be made by book-entry or, at the request of the Holder, by delivering a notice to the Conversion Agent, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or in certificated form. Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by the Company to the appropriate Holder on a book-entry basis, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the Holders, in each case at their respective addresses as set forth in the Conversion Notice (in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a)) or in the records of the Company or as set forth in a notice from the Holder to the Conversion Agent, as applicable (in the case of a Mandatory Conversion). In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock (and payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares) and, to the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares, cash, securities or other property should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, securities or other property, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, if (i) as of the date of conversion at least twelve (12) months have passed since the Issuance Date, and (ii) a Holder certifies to the Company that as of the date of conversion it is not an Affiliate and has not been an Affiliate of the Company within the preceding three (3) months and otherwise satisfies the conditions set forth in Rule 144 for securities held by non-affiliates, if any, then the Company will issue the shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder upon conversion through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company with an unrestricted CUSIP.

(d)            Status of Converted or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or acquisition thereof and shall not be reissued as shares of such series. All such shares shall, upon their retirement and any filing required by the DGCL, become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular series by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(e)            Partial Conversion. In case any certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the certificate so surrendered a new certificate for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.

(f)            Depository Procedures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the only requirements to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are held through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company is to comply with the rules and procedures of The Depository Trust Company applicable to such conversion.

SECTION 9.     Change of Control. (a) Holder Rights Upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at such Holder’s election, effective as of immediately prior to the Change of Control, convert all or a portion of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a), provided that if the Holder does not make such an election with respect to all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall redeem (the “Change of Control Redemption”) all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been so converted at a purchase price per share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable in cash, equal to the greater of (A) the sum of (x) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus (y) the Accrued Dividends in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable Change of Control Purchase Date and (B) the amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of any other property that the Holder would have received if such Holder had converted such share of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to the Change of Control (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth in this Certificate of Designations) (the greater of (A) and (B), the “Change of Control Redemption Price”); provided that the Company shall only be required to pay the Change of Control Redemption Price to the extent such purchase can be made out of funds legally available therefor in accordance with Section 9(g).

(b)            Initial Change of Control Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to the effective date of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”) (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that a Change of Control may occur), a written notice (the “Initial Change of Control Notice”) shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company, which notice shall contain (i) the date on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Schedule TO or other schedule, form or report disclosing a Change of Control was filed), (ii) a description of the material terms and conditions of the Change of Control and (iii) the then applicable Conversion Rate. No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Change of Control Effective Date as set forth in the Initial Change of Control Notice (or, if the Change of Control has already occurred as provided in the Initial Change of Control Notice, promptly, but no later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day following receipt thereof), any Holder that desires to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 9(a) shall notify the Company in writing thereof and shall specify (x) whether such Holder is electing to exercise its right to convert all or a portion of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 9(a), and (y) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject thereto.

(c)            Final Change of Control Redemption Notice. Within two (2) days prior to the Change of Control Effective Date (or if the Company discovers later than such date that a Change of Control has occurred, promptly following the date of such discovery), a final written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company on the Business Day immediately prior to the date such notice is sent, which notice shall contain:

(i)            a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Change of Control Redemption Price with respect to such Holder;

(ii)            the Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be no later than 60 days after such notice is sent; provided, that a reasonable amount of time shall be provided between delivery of such notice and the Change of Control Purchase Date to allow such Holder to comply with the instructions delivered pursuant to Section 9(c)(iii) below; and

(iii)           the instructions a Holder must follow to receive the Change of Control Redemption Price in connection with such Change of Control.

(d)            Change of Control Redemption Procedure. To receive the Change of Control Redemption Price, a Holder must surrender to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the instructions delivered pursuant to Section 9(c)(iii), the certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased by the Company or lost stock affidavits therefor, to the extent applicable.

(e)            Delivery upon Change of Control Redemption. Upon a Change of Control Redemption, subject to Section 9(g) and Section 9(j) below, the Company (or its successor) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Change of Control Redemption Price for such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(f)            Treatment of Shares. Until a share of Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed by the payment or deposit in full of the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price as provided in Section 9(i), such share of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein; provided that no such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock following the Change of Control Effective Date.

(g)            Sufficient Funds. If the Company shall not have sufficient funds legally available under the DGCL to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock required under Section 9(a) (the “Required Number of Shares”), the Company shall (i) redeem, pro rata among the Holders (for the avoidance of doubt, other than any shares that have been converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 9(a)), a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate Change of Control Redemption Price equal to the amount legally available for the purchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the DGCL and (ii) purchase any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not purchased because of the foregoing limitations at the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price as soon as practicable after the Company is able to make such purchase out of assets legally available for the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock (and such shares of Series A Preferred Stock not so redeemed will remain outstanding for all purposes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the accrual of Dividends) under this Certificate of Designations). The inability of the Company (or its successor) to make a purchase payment for any reason shall not relieve the Company (or its successor) from its obligation to effect any required purchase when, as and if permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Change of Control Redemption pursuant to this Section 9 at a time when the Company is restricted or prohibited (contractually or otherwise) from redeeming some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Change of Control Redemption, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consents to remove or obtain an exception or waiver to such restrictions or prohibition. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 9.

(h)            Change of Control Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Change of Control unless (i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) the exercise by the Holders of their Change of Control Redemption right in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 9, and (ii) the acquiring or surviving Person in such Change of Control represents or covenants, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board acting in good faith, that at the closing of such Change of Control that such Person shall have sufficient funds (which may include, without limitation, cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet, the proceeds of any debt or equity financing, available lines of credit or uncalled capital commitments) to consummate such Change of Control and the payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price in respect of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been converted into Common Stock prior to the Change of Control Effective Date pursuant to Section 6, Section 7 or this Section 9, as applicable.

(i)            With respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed by the Company pursuant to the Change of Control Redemption and which has been redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9, or for which the Company has irrevocably deposited an amount equal to the Change of Control Redemption Price in respect of such share with the Transfer Agent, (i) Dividends shall cease to accrue on such share, (ii) such share shall no longer be deemed outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to such share shall cease and terminate other than the rights of the Holder thereof to receive the Change of Control Redemption Price therefor.

(j)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9, in the event of a Change of Control Redemption, the Company shall only pay the Change of Control Redemption Price in cash required above after paying in full in cash all obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under any credit agreement, indenture or similar agreement evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money (including the termination of all commitments to lend, to the extent required by such credit agreement, indenture or similar agreement), which requires prior payment of the obligations thereunder (and termination of commitments thereunder, if applicable) as a condition to the payment of such Change of Control Redemption Price in cash.

SECTION 10.   Redemption. (a) Redemption at the Option of the Company.

(i)            At any time on or after the four (4)-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right (the “Company Redemption Right”) to redeem (a “Redemption”), ratably, in whole (or, so long as the Company reasonably determines in good faith (taking into account solely the Holders’ ownership of the Series A Preferred Shares and ownership of any Common Stock received in connection with the conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares) that such partial redemption of Series A Preferred Stock will be treated as a sale or exchange for United States federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 302(b) of the Code, in part), the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of any Holder outstanding at such time at a redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the following: (A) if the applicable Redemption Date is on or after the four (4)-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date and before the five (5)-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, the greater of (1) the product of (x) the sum of (I) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus (II) the Accrued Dividends in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as of such Redemption Date, multiplied by (y) 105% and (2) the Current Market Price as of such Redemption Date of the Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted on an as converted basis (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth in this Certificate of Designations); (B) if the applicable Redemption Date is on or after the five (5)-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date and before the six (6)-year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, the greater of (1) the product of (x) the sum of (I) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus (II) the Accrued Dividends in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as of such Redemption Date, multiplied by (y) 103% and (2) the Current Market Price as of such Redemption Date of the Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted on an as converted basis (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth in this Certificate of Designations); and (C) if the applicable Redemption Date is on or after the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, the greater of (1) the product of (x) the sum of (I) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus (II) the Accrued Dividends in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as of such Redemption Date, multiplied by (y) 100% and (2) the Current Market Price as of such Redemption Date of the Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted on an as converted basis (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth in this Certificate of Designations) (such price, the “Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not exercise the Company Redemption Right, or otherwise send a Notice of Company Redemption, in respect of the redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10 unless the Company has sufficient funds legally available to fully pay the Redemption Price in respect of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption. The Redemption Price shall be payable in cash. If fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10(a), then such redemption shall occur on a pro rata basis with respect to all Holders based on the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder relative to the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(ii)            To exercise the Company Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 10(a), the Company shall deliver written notice thereof (a “Notice of Company Redemption”) to the Holders and the Transfer Agent at least ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date designated therein for such redemption. The Notice of Company Redemption shall contain instructions whereby Holders will surrender to the Transfer Agent certificates (if any) representing all shares of Series A Preferred Stock specified in the Notice of Company Redemption to be redeemed by the Company. The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder that has complied with the instructions set forth in such Notice of Company Redemption, cash by wire transfer in an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of which such Holder has complied with such instructions in accordance herewith.

(iii)           For the avoidance of doubt, prior to any Redemption, each Holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at such Holder’s election, effective prior to such Redemption on a date designated by the Holder, convert all or a portion of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a).

(iv)           The Company shall not exercise the Company Redemption Right, or otherwise send a Notice of Company Redemption, in respect of the Redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10 unless (x) a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is in effect covering the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock would be converted (without regard to any limitations on conversion), and (y) either (A) the Conversion Limitation does not apply to the Series A Preferred Stock subject to such redemption or (B) to the extent the Conversion Limitation does apply to the Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Redemption, the amount of Series A Preferred Stock subject to such Redemption is up to the amount of Series A Preferred Stock that would not be convertible into Common Stock as a result of the Conversion Limitation (with the remainder being converted into Common Stock if so elected by the Holder pursuant to clause (iii) above).

(b)            Effect of Redemption. With respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock specified to be redeemed by the Company pursuant to the Company Redemption Right and which has been redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10, or for which the Company has irrevocably deposited an amount equal to the Redemption Price in respect of such share with the Transfer Agent, then (i) Dividends shall cease to accrue on such share, (ii) such share shall no longer be deemed outstanding and (iii) all rights with respect to such share shall cease and terminate (other than the right to receive such Redemption Price to the extent not paid).

(c)            Partial Redemption. In the event that the Company Redemption Right is exercised with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by a Holder, upon such Redemption and following such Holder’s surrender to the Transfer Agent of certificates (if any) representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock specified to be redeemed by the Company, the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver to such Holder, at the expense of the Company, a certificate representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holder as to which a Company Redemption Right was not exercised (or book-entry interests representing such shares).

SECTION 11.   Anti-Dilution Adjustments. (a) Adjustments. The Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of the following events, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and solely as a result of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in any transaction described in this Section 11(a), without having to convert their Series A Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible pursuant to Section 6 (determined without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility contained therein):

(i)            The issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision or combination of Common Stock or a reclassification of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, in which event the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x (OS₁ / OS₀)

CR₀     =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification

CR₁     =     the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification

OS₀     =     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, in each case without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable

OS₁     =     the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, as applicable

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such event had not been declared.

(ii)            The dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan (in which event the provisions of Section 11(a)(vii) shall apply)), options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock for a period expiring forty-five (45) days or less from the date of issuance thereof, at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance, in which event the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x [(OS₀+X) / (OS₀+Y)]

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance

CR₁ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance

X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Current Market Price as of the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance.

For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

(iii)           The Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries purchases Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an exchange offer that constitutes a Distribution Transaction subject to Section 11(a)(v)) by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock, or otherwise acquires Common Stock (except (1) in an open market purchase in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act, (2) through an “accelerated share repurchase” on customary terms or (3) in connection with tax withholding upon vesting or settlement of options, restricted stock units, performance share units or other similar equity awards or upon forfeiture or cashless exercise of options or other equity awards (a “Covered Repurchase”), if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock validly tendered, exchanged or otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase exceeds the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last day on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) or shares of Common Stock are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase (the “Expiration Date”), in which event the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x [(FMV + (SP₁ x OS₁)) / (SP₁ x OS₀)]

CR₀     =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date

CR₁     =     the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date

FMV    =     the Fair Market Value, on the Expiration Date, of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn, or otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase, as of the Expiration Date

OS₀     =     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (including the shares to be purchased in such tender or exchange offer) or shares are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase

OS₁     =     the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase of shares in such tender or exchange offer) or shares are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase

SP₁     =     the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 11(a)(iii), delivery of any additional shares of Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 11(a)(iii) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 11(a)(iii).

In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer, exchange offer or other commitment to acquire shares of Common Stock through a Covered Repurchase but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would have been then in effect if such tender offer, exchange offer or Covered Repurchase had not been made.

(iv)            The Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock (other than for cash in lieu of fractional shares), shares of any class of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, assets, other property or securities, but excluding (A) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 11(a)(i) or Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, (B) Distribution Transactions as to which Section 11(a)(v) shall apply, (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which Section 11(a)(vi) shall apply and (D) rights, options or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan as to which Section 11(a)(vii) shall apply (any of such shares of its Capital Stock, indebtedness, assets or property that are not so excluded are hereinafter called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x [SP₀ / (SP₀ - FMV)]

CR₀     =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

CR₁     =     the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

SP₀      =     the Current Market Price as of the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution

FMV     =     the Fair Market Value of the portion of Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that, if FMV is equal or greater than SP₀, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall distribute to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the date the applicable Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder as of such Record Date could be converted (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth in this Certificate of Designations)

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If any such dividend or distribution is declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution shall not occur, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(v)            The Company effects a Distribution Transaction, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Distribution Transaction shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x [(FMV + MP₀) / MP₀]

CR₀     =     the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

CR₁     =     the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

FMV    =     the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of the capital stock or other interest distributed to holders of Common Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such capital stock or other interest trades, as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service chosen by the Company) in respect of the period from the open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the close of trading on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one share of such capital stock or other interest on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by an Independent Financial Advisor retained for such purpose by the Company), for each of the ten consecutive full Trading Days commencing with, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

MP₀     =     the arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Distribution Transaction

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Section 11(a)(v), delivery of any additional shares of Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 11(a)(v) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 11(a)(v).

(vi)            The Company makes a cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR₁ = CR₀ x [SP₀ / (SP₀ – C)]

CR₀ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

CR₁ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

SP₀ = the Closing Price as of the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution

C = the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock; provided that, if C is equal or greater than SP₀, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, the Company shall pay to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the date the applicable cash dividend or distribution is made to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder as of such Record Date could be converted (without regard to any limitations on conversions set forth in this Certificate of Designations)

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (vi) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution is declared but not paid, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution will not be paid, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such had dividend or distribution not been declared.

(vii)          If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition to the applicable number of shares of Common Stock, the rights under such rights plan relating to such Common Stock, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of Common Stock (the first of such events to occur, a “Trigger Event”), in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event, as if the Company had made a distribution of such rights to all holders of Common Stock as described in Section 11(a)(ii) (without giving effect to the forty-five (45) day limit on the exercisability of rights, options or warrants ordinarily subject to such Section 11(a)(ii)), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise, deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are exchanged by the Company for shares of Common Stock or other property or securities, the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately readjusted as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued such shares of Common Stock or other property or securities as a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) or Section 11(a)(iv), as applicable.

To the extent that such rights are not exercised prior to their expiration, termination or redemption, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event been made on the basis of the issuance of, and the receipt of the exercise price with respect to, only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued pursuant to such rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11(a)(vii), no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to any Holder which is, or is an “affiliate” or “associate” of, an “acquiring person” under such stockholder rights plan or with respect to any direct or indirect transferee of such Holder who receives Series A Preferred Stock in such transfer after the time such Holder becomes, or its affiliate or associate becomes, such an “acquiring person.”

(b)            Calculation of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of one share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date or Redemption or repurchase date.

(c)            When No Adjustment Required. (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Common Stock.

(i)            Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of, the distribution of separate certificates representing, the exercise or redemption of, or the termination or invalidation of, rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plans.

(ii)            No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made:

(A)     upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under any plan in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Company bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;

(B)     upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements or arrangements or programs, including, without limitation, the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan;

(C)     upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security, including the Series A Preferred Stock; or

(D)     for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

(d)            Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 11 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

(e)            Multiple Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided, however, that if more than one subsection of this Section 11 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

(f)            Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under this Section 11, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware):

(i)            compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 11 and prepare and transmit to the Conversion Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the applicable Conversion Rate, the method of calculation thereof, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

(ii)            provide a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate.

(g)            Conversion Agent. The Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Conversion Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 11(g) and any adjustment contained therein and the Conversion Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, that may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock and the Conversion Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Section 11.

(h)            Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable, the Holders will be entitled to receive, at the Company’s sole discretion, either (i) an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) (to the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules) one additional whole share of Common Stock. In order to determine whether the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock will include a fractional share, such determination shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such Holder that are being converted and/or issued on any single Conversion Date or Change of Control Purchase Date.

SECTION 12.     Adjustment for Reorganization Events. (a) Reorganization Events. In the event of:

(i)            any reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another Person, in each case, pursuant to which the Common Stock is changed or converted into, or exchanged for, cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

(ii)            any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or a majority of the property and assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into cash, securities or other property; or

(iii)           any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of the Common Stock into other securities;

other than, in each case, any such transaction that constitutes a Change of Control, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9 shall apply (each of which is referred to as a “Reorganization Event”), each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event will, without the consent of the Holders and subject to Section 12(d) and Section 13(c), remain outstanding but shall become convertible into, out of funds legally available therefor, the number, kind and amount of securities, cash and other property (the “Exchange Property”) (without any interest on such Exchange Property and without any right to dividends or distribution on such Exchange Property which have a record date that is prior to the applicable Conversion Date) that the Holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Rate applicable immediately prior to the effective time of the Reorganization Event and the Liquidation Preference and Accrued Dividends applicable at the time of such subsequent conversion; provided that the foregoing shall not apply if such Holder is a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by such Constituent Persons or such Affiliate thereof. If the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by a Person (other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof), then for the purpose of this Section 12(a), the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon conversion following such Reorganization Event will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock. Following a Reorganization Event, subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be made pursuant to Section 11 in a manner consistent with this Section 12.

(b)            Successive Reorganization Events. The above provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 11 shall apply to any shares of Capital Stock received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.

(c)            Reorganization Event Notice. The Company (or any successor) shall, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effective date of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 12.

(d)            Reorganization Event Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless (i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 12, and (ii) to the extent that the Company is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Exchange Property (including, if applicable, Capital Stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event).

SECTION 13.    Voting Rights. (a)  General. Except as provided in Sections 13(b) and 13(c), from and after the satisfaction (or to the extent of the inapplicability) of the Voting Condition, Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company then entitled to vote with the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock (and, if applicable, holders of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company). Each Holder shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the product of (i) the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to Section 6 (subject to the limitations on conversion set forth therein) multiplied by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case, at and calculated as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote or consent on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at and as of the date such vote or consent is taken or any written consent of stockholders is first executed. The Holders shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of holders of Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

(b)            Right to Designate Investor Directors. For so long as the Investor Parties are Holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Investor Parties, voting exclusively as a single class, will have the right to elect (i) two (2) directors, so long as the 60% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied, and (ii) one (1) director, so long as the 20% Beneficial Ownership Requirement is satisfied (each such director, an “Investor Director”) to serve on the Board; provided, that the election of any Investor Director must satisfy the Director Qualification Requirements. The Investor Directors will be elected at each annual or meeting (or action by written consent) of the Company’s stockholders solely by the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting exclusively as a single class, for so long as the 60% Beneficial Ownership Requirement or 20% Beneficial Ownership Requirement, as applicable, is satisfied, except that the initial Investor Directors shall be appointed by the Board in connection with the initial issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and will be Joshua Goldman and Kurt Barker. Upon the occurrence of the First Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, (i) at the request of a majority of the directors then in office or the Chairman of the Board, one of the Investor Directors shall resign immediately from the Board and any committee thereof or (ii) if no such request is made, such Investor Director shall continue to serve until his or her term expires at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (unless such Investor Director otherwise elects to resign). Upon the occurrence of the Second Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, (i) at the request of a majority of the directors then in office or the Chairman of the Board, the remaining Investor Directors shall resign immediately from the Board and any committee thereof or (ii) if no such request is made, such Investor Director shall continue to serve until his or her term expires at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights of the Investor Parties pursuant to this Section 13(b) are personal to the Investor Parties and shall not be exercised by any transferee other than a Permitted Transferee of an Investor.

(i)            Committee Rights. Until the occurrence of the Second Fall-Away of Investor Board Rights, the Investor Parties shall have the right to designate one (1) Investor Director to each committee of the Board to the extent permitted by the applicable independence or other requirements applicable to such committee(s).

(ii)            Removal of the Investor Directors. At any time, an Investor Director may be removed either (1) to the extent such removal is required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation in effect on the date hereof; or (2) with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the Investor Parties, voting exclusively as a single class (which vote may be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting). Except as set forth in the foregoing clause (1) the Board shall not remove the Investor Director from his or her directorship.

(iii)            Filling Vacancies of the Investor Directors. At all times when the Investor Parties have the right to elect Investor Directors, a vacancy in the office of any Investor Director may be filled, subject to the Director Qualification Requirements, by the remaining Investor Director or, if there is no remaining Investor Director, by the affirmative vote of the Investor Parties, voting exclusively as a single class (which vote may be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting).

(iv)            Company Cooperation. The Company and the Board shall take all necessary corporate action, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware Law), to (x) enable the election of the Investor Directors, whether by increasing the size of the Board or otherwise, and (y) designate the persons specified by the Holders as Investor Directors, to fill such newly created vacancies or to fill any other existing vacancies.

(v)            Compensation; Indemnity. The Investor Directors shall (1) not be entitled to any compensation from the Company in connection with their services as directors on the Board and (2) shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with performing their respective duties as a member of the Board (or any committee thereof), including the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such person for attending meetings of the Board (or any committee thereof), or in connection with their service on the board or other similar governing body of any Subsidiary of the Company (or any committee thereof) to the same extent as the Company provides such reimbursement to other members of the Board. The Company shall indemnify the Investor Directors and provide the Investor Directors with director and officer insurance to the same extent as it indemnifies and provides such insurance to other members of the Board, pursuant to the Company Charter Documents, the DGCL or otherwise. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it (1) is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Investor Director are primary and any obligation of the Investor Parties or their Affiliates to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Investor Director are secondary) and (2) shall be required to advance the amount of expenses incurred by the Investor Director and shall be liable for the amount of all expenses and liabilities incurred by the Investor Director, in each case, to the same extent as it advances expenses and is liable for such expenses and liabilities and indemnifies and provides such insurance with respect to other members of the Board, pursuant to the Company Charter Documents, the DGCL or otherwise, without regard to any rights the Investor Director may have against any Investor Parties or their Affiliates.

(c)            Adverse Changes. The affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating any of the following actions, whether or not such approval is required pursuant to the DGCL:

(i)            any amendment, alteration or repeal (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this Certificate of Designations) or Bylaws that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Holder thereof;

(ii)            any amendment or alteration (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of, or any supplement (whether by a certificate of designations or otherwise) to, the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision thereof, or any other action to authorize or create, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of, or any securities convertible into shares of, or reclassify any security into, or issue, any Parity Stock or Senior Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company (i) ranking senior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company or (ii) with which the Series A Preferred Stock does not participate in any dividends or distributions ratably determined on an “as converted to common stock” basis;

(iii)           any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

(iv)           any merger or consolidation of the Company with any other Person other than (x) a Change of Control or (y) a transaction in which the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding or is converted into shares of the surviving Person or its Parent Entity with rights, preferences, privileges and voting power that are not materially less favorable than the Series A Convertible Preferred; and

(v)            any acquisition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of a business or entity set forth on Section 13(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, until the three (3) year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date.

provided, however, (A) that, with respect to the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clause (i) above, so long as (1) the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, or (2) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock receive equity securities with rights, preferences, privileges and voting power substantially the same as those of the Series A Preferred Stock, then the occurrence of such event shall not be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clause (i) above and (B) that the authorization or creation of, or the increase in the number of authorized or issued shares of, or any securities convertible into shares of, or the reclassification of any security (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) into, or the issuance of, Junior Stock will not require the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

For purposes of this Section 13, the filing in accordance with applicable law of a certificate of designations or any similar document setting forth or changing the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of any class or series of stock of the Company shall be deemed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.

(d)            Each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.

(e)            The affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be sufficient to waive or amend the provisions of Section 9(h) of this Certificate of Designations, and any amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 9(h) approved by such percentage of the Holders shall be binding on all of the Holders.

(f)            For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive consent and voting rights set forth in Sections 13(b) and 13(c) and may take action or consent to any action with respect to such rights without a meeting by delivering a consent in writing or by electronic transmission of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize, take or consent to such action at a meeting of stockholders.

(g)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, when the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock take any action under this Certificate of Designations to give or withhold their consent, the Holders shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company or the other stockholders of the Company and may act exclusively in their own interest; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations to comply with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the fiduciary duties of the Investor Director.

SECTION 14.   Preemptive Rights. Except for the right to participate in any issuance of new equity securities by the Company as set forth in the Investment Agreement, the Holders shall not have any preemptive rights.

SECTION 15.   Term. Except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable or otherwise mature and the term of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be perpetual.

SECTION 16.    Creation of Capital Stock. Subject to Section 13(c)(ii) and Section 13(c)(iii), the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, without the vote of the Holders, may authorize and issue additional shares of Capital Stock of the Company.

SECTION 17.    No Sinking Fund. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund.

SECTION 18.   Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent. The duly appointed Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. The Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other Person to serve as Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and thereafter may remove or replace Equiniti Trust Company, LLC or such other Person at any time. Upon any such appointment or removal, the Company shall send notice thereof to the Holders.

SECTION 19.   Replacement Certificates. (a) Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen and Lost Certificates. If physical certificates evidencing the Series A Preferred Stock are issued, the Company shall replace any mutilated certificate at the Holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Transfer Agent. The Company shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holder’s expense upon delivery to the Company and the Transfer Agent of satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Transfer Agent and the Company.

(b)            Certificates Following Conversion. If physical certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock are issued, the Company shall not be required to issue replacement certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock on or after the Conversion Date applicable to such shares (except if any certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the certificate so surrendered a new certificate for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted). In place of the delivery of a replacement certificate following the applicable Conversion Date, the Transfer Agent, upon receipt of the satisfactory evidence and indemnity described in clause (a) above, shall deliver certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock formerly evidenced by the physical certificate.

SECTION 20.   Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. However, in the case of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

SECTION 21.   Notices. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid, or by private courier service addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at 980 Jolly Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422 (Attention: Chief Financial Officer), (ii) if to any Holder, to such Holder at the address of such Holder as listed in the stock record books of the Company (which may include the records of the Transfer Agent) or (iii) to such other address as the Company or any such Holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.

SECTION 22.   Facts Ascertainable. When the terms of this Certificate of Designations refers to a specific agreement or other document to determine the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the Secretary of the Company shall maintain a copy of such agreement or document at the principal executive offices of the Company and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor. The Secretary of the Company shall also maintain a written record of the Issuance Date, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to a Holder and the date of each such issuance, and shall furnish such written record free of charge to any Holder who makes a request therefor.

SECTION 23.    Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the vote or written consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

SECTION 24.   Severability. If any term of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms set forth herein which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no term herein set forth will be deemed dependent upon any other such term unless so expressed herein.

SECTION 25.   Business Opportunities. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL (or any successor provision) and except as may be otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company and the Investor Parties, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company and its Subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities, that are from time to time presented to the Investor Parties or any of their respective officers, representatives, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, Affiliates, Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), or any of their respective designees on the Company’s Board and/or any of their respective representatives who, from time to time, may act as officers of the Company, even if the opportunity is one that the Company or its Subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and no such person shall be liable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Company or its Subsidiaries unless, in the case of any such person who is a director or officer of the Company, such business opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. Any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of Capital Stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 25. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Section 25, nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designations inconsistent with this Section 25, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 25 in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Section 25, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal, adoption or modification. If any provision or provisions of this Section 25 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Section 25 (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Section 25 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 25 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Section 25 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Company to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Section 25 shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, any other agreement between the Company and such director, officer, employee or agent or applicable law.

SECTION 26.   Rule 144A Matters. If the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act at any time when any Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock underlying Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), then the Company (or its successor) will promptly provide, upon written request, to any registered holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of Series A Preferred Stock or underlying Common Stock, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Series A Preferred Stock or underlying Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company (or its successor) will take such further action as any such registered holder or beneficial owner may reasonably request to enable such registered holder or beneficial owner, as applicable, to sell such Series A Preferred Stock or underlying Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A.
