Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Convertible Preferred Stock, issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(c), a new Certificate

representing such Convertible Preferred Stock that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Certificate representing any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3(p) will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

(b) Participating Dividends.

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 5(b)(ii), no dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid, respectively, on the Convertible Preferred Stock in the form and manner set forth below (such a dividend or distribution on the Convertible Preferred Stock, a “Participating Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, the “Common Stock Participating Dividend”), such that (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same dates as the Record Date and payment date, respectively, for such Common Stock Participating Dividend; and (2) subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(b)(i), the kind and amount of consideration payable per share of Convertible Preferred Stock in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Stock Participating Dividend in respect of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 10 but without regard to Section 10(e)(ii) and Section 10(h)) in respect of one (1) share of Convertible Preferred Stock that is converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such Record Date. With respect to any Common Stock Participating Dividend that is in the form of cash, in lieu of cash payment thereof, as of the Close of Business on the payment date for such Common Stock Participating Dividend, the dollar amount of any such Common Stock Participating Dividend (expressed as an amount per share of Convertible Preferred Stock) will (without duplication) be added, effective immediately before

the Close of Business on such payment date, to the Liquidation Preference of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of such time.

(ii) Common Stock Change Events and Stock Splits, Dividends and Combinations. Section 5(b)(i) will not apply to, and no Participating Dividend will be required to be declared or paid in respect of a Common Stock Change Event or an event for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required (or would be required without regard to Section 10(f)(iii)) pursuant to Section 10(f)(i)(1), as to which Section 10(i) or Section 10(f)(i)(1), respectively, will apply.

(c) Treatment of Dividends Upon Repurchase or Conversion. If the Optional Repurchase Date or Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related Optional Repurchase or conversion, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared Dividend on such share. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, and not for any other purpose, a Dividend will be deemed to be declared only to the extent that it is declared for payment in cash. Except as provided in this Section 5(c), Regular Dividends on any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the Optional Repurchase Date or Conversion Date, as applicable, for such share, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the related Optional Repurchase Price or Conversion Consideration, as applicable.

SECTION 6. RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.

(a) Generally. If the Company liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will entitle the Holder thereof to receive payment for the greater of the amounts set forth in clause (i) and (ii) below out of the Company’s assets or funds legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders, before any such assets or funds are distributed to, or set aside for the benefit of, any Liquidation Junior Stock:

(i) the sum of:

(1) the Liquidation Preference per share of Convertible Preferred Stock; and

(2) all unpaid Regular Dividends that will have accumulated on such share to, but excluding, the date of such payment; and

(ii) the amount such Holder would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 10 but without regard to Section 10(e)(ii) and Section 10(h)) upon conversion of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock assuming the Conversion Date of such conversion occurs on the date of such payment.

Upon payment of such amount in full on the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights to the Company’s remaining assets or funds, if any. If such assets or funds are insufficient to fully pay such amount on all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable in respect of all outstanding shares of Liquidation Parity Stock, if any, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, such assets or funds will be distributed ratably on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and Liquidation Parity Stock in proportion to the full respective distributions to which such shares would otherwise be entitled.

(b) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Deemed Not to Be a Liquidation. For purposes of Section 6(a), the Company’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, or the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than a sale, lease or other transfer in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to, another Person will not, in itself, constitute the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, even if, in connection therewith, the Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing.

SECTION 7. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a) Change of Control Notice. On or before the twentieth (20^th) Business Day before the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of a Change of Control (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that a Change of Control may occur), the Company will send to each Holder a notice of such Change of Control (either concurrently with or after the Public Announcement of the same information) containing the following information:

(1) a brief description of the events causing such Change of Control;

(2) the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of such Change of Control;

(3) the Optional Repurchase Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming for such purpose that the Optional Repurchase Date is the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of such Change of Control; and

(4) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such notice and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the Conversion Price that may result from such Change of Control.

(b) Withdrawal of Change of Control Notice. If the underlying Change of Control has been terminated or cancelled and the Company has previously delivered a notice pursuant to Section 7(a) with respect to such Change of Control, the Company shall withdraw such notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Holders at any time before the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of such Change of Control that was previously contained in such original notice.

(c) Optional Repurchase or Conversion Right in Connection with a Change of Control. Prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right (i) subject to Section 10(b)(iii), to exercise an Optional Conversion in respect of any and all of its Convertible Preferred Stock prior to or contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control or (ii) subject to Section 8(b) to exercise an Optional Repurchase Right in respect of any and all of its Convertible Preferred Stock (A) contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control or (B) if after the Optional Repurchase Trigger Date, at any time prior to the consummation of such Change of Control. The Holders and the Company agree that following the exercise by the Holders of an Optional Repurchase Right pursuant to the preceding sentence, any obligation of the Company to pay the Optional Repurchase Price to the Holders is and shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the required parties to the Existing Credit Agreement, until the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been paid in full, and the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been terminated, no payment of any kind or character may be made to or received by the Holders, whether in cash or other property (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Conversion Shares issued upon any accompanying conversion) and including by way of set-off, in respect of the Optional Repurchase Right exercised, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 7(c) (and the holders of such Obligations are hereby designated as intended third party beneficiaries of the foregoing).

(d) Asset Sale Put Right.

(i) Asset Sale Put Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, each Holder will have the right (the “Asset Sale Put Right”) to require the Company to repurchase certain shares of such Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock, not to exceed such Holder’s Asset Sale Put Right Allocation of the applicable Asset Sale Maximum Redemption Amount, in accordance with Section 8(a) following the occurrence of an Asset Sale Trigger and, as may be designated by such Holder, at any time within 90 days thereafter. The Asset Sale Put Purchase Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant of the exercise of the Asset Sale Put Right is an amount equal to the Optional Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 8(f) in respect of an Optional Repurchase pursuant to Section 8(a) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the full Dividend scheduled to be paid on any Dividend Payment Date that is not declared and paid in cash and is added to the Liquidation Preference of such share pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) will be included in the Asset Sale Put Purchase Price).

(ii) Asset Sale Trigger Notice. On or before the twentieth (20^th) Business Day before the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of an Asset Sale Trigger (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers that an Asset Sale Trigger may occur), the Company will send to each Holder a notice of such Asset Sale Trigger (either concurrently with or promptly after the Public Announcement of the same information) containing the following information:

(1) a brief description of the events causing such Asset Sale Trigger;

(2) the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of such Asset Sale Trigger;

(3) the Optional Redemption Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming for such purpose that the Optional Repurchase Trigger Date is the effective date (or anticipated effective date) of such Asset Sale Trigger; and

(4) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such notice and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the Conversion Price that may result from such Asset Sale Trigger.

(iii) Asset Sale Proceeds. Contemporaneously with any Asset Sale Trigger, the Company shall apply the proceeds from all such subject Asset Sales to repay in full all Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and terminate the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), in each case, to the extent necessary (including after giving effect to any consent by the required parties to the Existing Credit Agreement then outstanding, but expressly excluding any payment with respect to the Optional Repurchase (as defined in the Loan Warrants)) to permit the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock to exercise their Asset Sale Put Right to the maximum extent and the Company to fulfill its obligations with respect thereto (and the holders of such Obligations are hereby designated as intended third party beneficiaries of the foregoing). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the required parties to the Existing Credit Agreement, until the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been paid in full, and the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been terminated, no payment of any kind or character may be made to or received by the Holders, whether in cash or other property and including by way of set-off, in respect of the Asset Sale Put Right exercised, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 7(d) (and the holders of such Obligations are hereby designated as intended third party beneficiaries of the foregoing).

(iv) Allocation of Asset Sale Put Right. For purposes of this Section 7(d), the Asset Sale Put Right shall be allocated among the Holders as follows: with respect to each Holder, the Asset Sale Maximum Redemption Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued to such initial Holder pursuant to the Subscription and Exchange Agreement on the Issue Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued to the initial Holders pursuant to the Subscription and Exchange Agreement on the Issue Date (with respect to each initial Holder, the “Asset Sale Put Right Allocation”). In the event that any initial Holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such initial Holder’s Asset Sale Put Right Allocation with respect to such portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Asset Put Right Allocation allocated to such transferee. The foregoing shall apply similarly and equally to successive transfers of Convertible Preferred Stock.

(e) Asset Sale Call Right.

(i) Asset Sale Call Right. The Company will have the right (the “Asset Sale Call Right”) to repurchase all, or any whole number of shares that is less than all, of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock immediately following the occurrence of an Asset Sale Trigger

(other than an Asset Sale Trigger that would result in, or otherwise constitute, a Change of Control).

(ii) Delivery of Asset Sale Call Notice. To exercise an Asset Sale Call Right for any share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company must deliver to each Holder an Asset Sale Call Notice which states:

(1) if such share(s) are represented by one or more Physical Certificates, the certificate number(s) of such Physical Certificates;

(2) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased, which must be a whole number;

(3) that the Company is exercising its Asset Sale Call Right with respect to such share(s); and

(4) that the Company’s election to effect its exercise of the Asset Sale Call Right is contingent upon the consummation of such Asset Sale Trigger.

(iii) Delivery of Asset Sale Call Notice is Irrevocable. Once delivered in accordance with this Section 7(e), an Asset Sale Call Notice will be irrevocable; provided, however, that if the Asset Sale Trigger is not consummated, such Asset Sale Call Notice shall be deemed to be withdrawn.

(iv) Asset Sale Call Purchase Price. The Asset Sale Call Purchase Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant of the exercise of the Asset Sale Put Right is an amount equal to the Optional Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 8(f) in respect of an Optional Repurchase pursuant to Section 8(a) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the full Dividend scheduled to be paid on any Dividend Payment Date that is not declared and paid in cash and is added to the Liquidation Preference of such share pursuant to Section 5(b)(i) will be included in the Asset Sale Call Purchase Price).

(v) Funds Legally Available for Payment of Asset Sale Call Purchase Price. The Company will not exercise its Asset Sale Call Right pursuant to this Section 7(e), unless the Company has sufficient funds legally available to fully pay the Asset Sale Call Purchase Price in respect of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock elected for repurchase pursuant to the exercise of such Asset Sale Call Right.

(vi) Asset Sale Call Repurchase Date. The date of the consummation of the repurchase of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of the Asset Sale Call Right will be the later of (i) the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date the Company has duly delivered the Asset Sale Call Notice to each Holder pursuant to Section 7(e)(ii) and (ii) the Asset Sale Trigger.

(vii) Payment of the Asset Sale Call Purchase Price. The Company will cause the Asset Sale Call Purchase Price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant to the exercise of the Asset Sale Call Right to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before

the applicable date of the consummation of such repurchase of such share pursuant to the exercise of such Asset Sale Call Right.

(viii) Selection of Convertible Preferred Stock Subject to Partial Asset Sale Call Repurchase. If less than all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding are repurchased pursuant to the exercise of the Asset Sale Call Right, then the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be subject to such repurchase will be selected by the Company pro rata.

(f) Payments Upon Change of Control. In the event the Asset Sale Call Right is exercised pursuant to Section 7(e) or the Asset Sale Put Right is exercised pursuant to Section 7(d) and within two years of the consummation of the applicable repurchase (a) a Change of Control occurs, (b) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change of Control or (c) the Company enters into, participates in or engages in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to a Change of Control and, in the case of clause (b) or (c), a Change of Control occurs on or prior to six months following the end of such twenty-four month period, then, contemporaneous with the consummation of such Change of Control, the Company shall make a cash payment to each Holder of repurchased Convertible Preferred Stock, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account provided by such Holder in writing to the Company, in an aggregate amount equal to the difference, if positive, obtained by deducting (x) the sum of (i) the Asset Sale Call Purchase Price or Asset Sale Put Purchase Price actually paid to such Holder in respect of such repurchased Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the value received by such Holder in such Change of Control with respect to the Warrant issued to such Holder in connection with such Asset Sale Call Right or Asset Sale Put Right, as mutually and reasonably agreed by the Company and such Holder, from (y) the Optional Repurchase Price which would have been payable upon such Change of Control to such Holder with respect to an exercise of an Optional Repurchase Right pursuant to Section 8(b) with respect to such repurchased Convertible Preferred Stock. Unless and until the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been paid in full, and the Commitments (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall have been terminated, no payment of any kind or character may be made to or received by the Holders, whether in cash or other property and including by way of set-off, in accordance with this Section 7(f).

SECTION 8. OPTIONAL REPURCHASE RIGHT OF THE HOLDERS.

(a) Optional Repurchase Right. Subject to the other terms of this Section 8, each Holder will have the right (the “Optional Repurchase Right”) to require the Company to repurchase all, or any whole number of shares that is less than all, of such Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock on an Optional Repurchase Date occurring on or after the Optional Repurchase Trigger Date (determined pursuant to Section 8(e)) for an amount equal to the Optional Repurchase Price per share (determined pursuant to Section 8(f)); provided that in the event of an Asset Sale Trigger, the Company shall not be required to repurchase Convertible Preferred Stock that would cause the Asset Sale Maximum Redemption Amount to be exceeded or make any payment for such repurchase if not permitted pursuant to Section 7(d)(iii).

(b) Optional Repurchase Right in Connection with a Change of Control. Subject to Section 7(c) and the other terms of this Section 8, each Holder shall also be able to exercise the Optional Repurchase Right to require the Company to repurchase all, or any whole number of

shares that is less than all, of such Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock on an Optional Repurchase Date occurring on the date of the consummation of a Change of Control (whether before or after the Optional Repurchase Trigger Date) for a cash purchase price equal to the Optional Repurchase Price. A Holder delivering an Optional Repurchase Notice pursuant to this Section 8(b) in connection with a Change of Control shall specify in such Optional Repurchase Notice that its election to effect such Optional Repurchase is contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control. Any such Optional Repurchase shall not occur until such time as such Change of Control has been consummated, and if such Change of Control is not consummated, such Optional Repurchase Notice shall be deemed to be withdrawn.

(c) Asset Sale Trigger Repurchase. A Holder delivering an Optional Repurchase Notice pursuant to Section 8(a) in connection with an Asset Sale Trigger shall specify in such Optional Repurchase Notice that its election to effect such Optional Repurchase is contingent upon the consummation of such Asset Sale Trigger.

(7) (x) exchange, reclassification or cancellation of any Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Equity-Linked Security or other equity interest convertible into any Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event effected in compliance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations or (y) directly or indirectly amend, restate or replace the Loan Warrants in a manner that has the effect of increasing the Optional Repurchase Price (as defined in the Loan Warrants) or extending the timeframe within which any Holder (as defined in the Loan Warrants) may exercise their Optional Repurchase Right (as defined in the Loan Warrants);

(8) sale, disposition, lease, license, spin-off, split-off or other transfer or divestiture of any businesses, business units or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary or other entity), in each case, in any transaction or series of related transactions (any such transaction, an “Asset Sale”) involving consideration having a fair value in excess of $75,000,000 (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), other than a transaction that constitutes a Change of Control;

(12) agree or consent to any of the actions prohibited by this Section 9(b)(i).

(c) Right to Vote with Holders of Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis. Subject to the other provisions of, and without limiting the other voting rights provided in, this Section 9, and except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Holders will have the right to vote together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock on each matter submitted for a vote or consent by the holders of the Common Stock, and, for these purposes, (i) the Convertible Preferred Stock of each Holder will entitle such Holder to be treated as if such Holder were the holder of record, as of the record or other relevant date for such matter, of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 10(e), including Section 10(e)(ii)) upon conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock, assuming such Convertible Preferred Stock were converted with a Conversion Date occurring on such record or other relevant date; and (ii) the Holders will be entitled to notice of all stockholder meetings or proposed actions by written consent in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company, and the Delaware General Corporation Law as if the Holders were holders of Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting rights set forth in this Section 9(c) will not be limited or eliminated by the provisions in Section 10(h).

(d) Procedures for Voting and Consents.

(i) Rules and Procedures Governing Votes and Consents. If any vote or consent of the Holders will be held or solicited, including at a regular annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders, then (1) the Board of Directors will adopt customary rules and procedures at its discretion to govern such vote or consent, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9; and (2) such rules and procedures may include fixing a record date to determine the Holders that are entitled to vote or provide consent, as applicable, rules governing the solicitation and use of proxies or written consents and customary procedures for the nomination and designation, by Holders, of Preferred Stock Directors for election; provided, however, that with respect to any voting rights of the Holders pursuant to Section 9(c), such rules and procedures will be the same rules and procedures that apply to holders of the Common Stock with respect to the applicable matter referred to in Section 9(c).

(ii) Voting Power of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter on which the Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class and not together with the holders of any other class or series of stock.

(iii) Written Consent in Lieu of Stockholder Meeting. A consent or affirmative vote of the Holders pursuant to Section 9(b) may be given or obtained either in writing without a meeting or in person or by proxy at a regular annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders.

SECTION 10. CONVERSION.

(a) Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion or an Optional Conversion.

(b) Conversion at the Option of the Holders.

(i) Conversion Right; When Shares May Be Submitted for Optional Conversion. Holders will have the right to submit all, or any whole number of shares that is less than all, of their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to an Optional Conversion; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are subject to Mandatory Conversion may not be submitted for Optional Conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Mandatory Conversion Date.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Contingent Conversion Notice. A Holder delivering an Optional Conversion Notice hereunder in connection with a Change of Control may specify in such Optional Conversion Notice that its election to effect such conversion is contingent upon the consummation of such Change of Control, in which case such Optional Conversion shall not occur until such time as is immediately prior to (and subject to) the consummation of such Change of Control, and if such Change of Control is not consummated, such Optional Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be withdrawn.

(c) Mandatory Conversion at the Company’s Election.

(i) Mandatory Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10, the Company has the right (the “Mandatory Conversion Right”), exercisable at its election, to designate any Business Day after July 22, 2027 as a Conversion Date for the conversion (such a conversion, a “Mandatory Conversion”) of all, or any portion that is a whole number, of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, but only if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock exceeds $25.00 (as adjusted for any event contemplated by Section 10(f)(i)(1)) per share of Common Stock on each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion.

(ii) Mandatory Conversion Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. The Company will not exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right, or otherwise send a Mandatory Conversion Notice, with respect to any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10(c) unless the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied with respect to the Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(c), the Company’s exercise of its Mandatory Conversion Right, and any related Mandatory Conversion Notice, will not apply to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock as to which an Optional Repurchase Notice has been duly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b).

(iii) Mandatory Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date for any Mandatory Conversion will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than twenty (20), nor less than ten (10), Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion.

(iv) Mandatory Conversion Notice. To exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right with respect to any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company must (x) send to each Holder of such shares a written notice of such exercise (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) and (y) substantially contemporaneously therewith, issue a press release through such national newswire service as the Company then uses (or publish the same through such other widely disseminated public medium as the Company then uses, including its website) containing the information set forth in the Mandatory Conversion Notice. Such Mandatory Conversion Notice must state:

(1) that the Company has exercised its Mandatory Conversion Right to cause the Mandatory Conversion of the shares, briefly describing the Company’s Mandatory Conversion Right under this Certificate of Designations;

(2) the Mandatory Conversion Date for such Mandatory Conversion and the date scheduled for the settlement of such Mandatory Conversion;

(3) that shares of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to Mandatory Conversion may be converted earlier at the option of the Holders thereof pursuant to an

Optional Conversion at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Date;

(4) the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion; and

(5) the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Convertible Preferred Stock.

(v) Selection and Optional Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock Subject to Partial Mandatory Conversion. If less than all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding are subject to Mandatory Conversion, then:

(1) the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be subject to such Mandatory Conversion will be selected by the Company pro rata; and

(2) if only a portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to Mandatory Conversion and a portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to Optional Conversion, then the converted portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to be from the portion of such Convertible Preferred Stock that was subject to Mandatory Conversion.

(d) Conversion Procedures.

(i) Mandatory Conversion. If the Company duly exercises, in accordance with Section 10(c), its Mandatory Conversion Right with respect to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, then (1) the Mandatory Conversion of such share will occur automatically and without the need for any action on the part of the Holder(s) thereof; and (2) the shares of Common Stock due upon such Mandatory Conversion will be registered in the name of, and, if applicable, the cash due upon such Mandatory Conversion will be delivered to, the Holder(s) of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Close of Business on the related Mandatory Conversion Date.

(ii) Requirements for Holders to Exercise Optional Conversion Right.

(1) Generally. To convert any share of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to an Optional Conversion, the Holder of such share must (w) complete, sign and deliver to the Company an Optional Conversion Notice; (x) deliver any Physical Certificate(s), if any, representing such Convertible Preferred Stock to the Company (at which time such Optional Conversion will become irrevocable); (y) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company may require; and (z) if applicable, pay any documentary or other taxes.

(2) Optional Conversion Permitted only During Business Hours. Convertible Preferred Stock may be surrendered for Optional Conversion only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day.

(iii) Treatment of Accumulated Regular Dividends upon Conversion.

(1) No Adjustments for Accumulated Regular Dividends. Without limiting the operation of Sections 5(a)(ii)(1) and 10(e)(i), the Conversion Price will not be adjusted to account for any accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on any Convertible Preferred Stock being converted.

(2) Conversions Between A Record Date and a Dividend Payment Date. If the Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then such Dividend will be paid pursuant to Section 5(c) notwithstanding such conversion.

(iv) When Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Person in whose name any share of Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(e) Settlement upon Conversion.

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 5(c), Section 10(e)(ii), Section 10(h) and Section 12(b), the consideration due upon settlement of the conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will consist of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the sum of (x) the Liquidation Preference of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion; and (y) an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on such share of Convertible Preferred Stock from, and including, the last date on which Regular Dividends have been paid thereon (or, if no Regular Dividends have been paid, from, and including, the Issue Date) to, but excluding, the Conversion Date (but only to the extent such accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends are not included in the Liquidation Preference referred to in the preceding clause (x)); by (II) the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on such Conversion Date.

(ii) Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Common Stock. Subject to Section 12(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so and permitted under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money, pay cash based on the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

(iii) Delivery of Conversion Consideration. Except as provided in Sections 10(f)(i)(2) and 10(i), the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock on or before the earlier of (i) the second (2^nd) Business Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case, immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(f) Conversion Price Adjustments.

(i) Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 10(i) will apply), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CP₁ = CP₀x	OS₀
	OS₁

where:

CP₀	=	the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Close of Business on the effective date of such stock split or stock combination, as applicable;

CP₁	=	the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Close of Business on such Record Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination; and

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination.

If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 10(f)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Price will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or any Officer acting pursuant to authority conferred by the Board of Directors, determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act, ), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer differs from the average of the Daily

VWAP for each of the ten (10) consecutive VWAP Trading Days commencing on, and including, the VWAP 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) (the “Expiration Date”), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

CP₁ = CP₀x	SP x OS₀
	AC + (SP x OS₁)

where:

CP₀	=	the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;

CP₁	=	the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;

SP	=	the average of the Daily VWAP for each of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

AC	=	the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer; and

OS₁	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

provided, however, that the Conversion Price will in no event be adjusted up pursuant to this Section 10(f)(i)(2), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 10(f)(i)(2) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If the Conversion Date for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange

offer are rescinded, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(3) Degressive Issuances. Subject to Section 10(h), if, on or after the Issue Date the Company or any of its Subsidiaries issues or otherwise sells any shares of Common Stock, or any Equity-Linked Securities, other than pursuant to a Permitted Equity Issuance, in each case at an Effective Price per share of Common Stock that is less than the Conversion Price in effect (before giving effect to the adjustment required by this Section 10(f)(i)(3)) as of the date of the issuance or sale of such shares or Equity Linked Securities (such an issuance or sale, a “Degressive Issuance”), then, effective as of the Close of Business on such date, the Conversion Price will be decreased to an amount equal to the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) the Weighted Average Issuance Price. For these purposes, the “Weighted Average Issuance Price” will be equal to:

(CP x OS) + (EP x X)

OS + X

where:

CP	=	such Conversion Price;
OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Degressive Issuance;
EP	=	the Effective Price per share of Common Stock in such Degressive Issuance; and
X	=	the sum, without duplication, of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance; and (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity-Linked Securities issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance;

provided, however, that (A) the Conversion Price will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 10(f)(i)(3) solely as a result of an Exempt Issuance; (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Equity-Linked Securities will not constitute an additional issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 10(f)(i)(3) (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the issuance or sale of such Equity Linked Securities, or any re-pricing or amendment thereof, will be subject to this Section 10(f)(i)(3)); and (C) in no event will the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this Section 10(f)(i)(3). For purposes of this Section 10(f)(i)(3), any re-pricing or amendment of any Equity-Linked Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity-Linked Securities existing as of the Issue Date) will be deemed to be the issuance of additional Equity-Linked Securities, without affecting any prior adjustments theretofore made to the Conversion Price.

(ii) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1) Certain Events. Without limiting the operation of Sections 5(a)(ii)(1) and 10(e)(i), the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Price except pursuant to Section 10(f)(i). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Price on account of:

(A) except as otherwise provided in Section 10(f)(i), the sale of shares of Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock or less than the Conversion Price;

(B) except as provided in Section 10(f)(i)(3), 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 the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any such plan;

(C) except as provided in Section 10(f)(i)(3), the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock 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;

(D) except as provided in Section 10(f)(i)(3), the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Issue Date; or

(E) solely a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

(iii) Adjustment Deferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Price otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price, then the Company may, at its election, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (1) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price; (2) the Conversion Date of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock; (3) the date of an Optional Repurchase Notice for any Optional Repurchase; and (4) the occurrence of any vote of the stockholders of the Company.

(iv) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan.

(v) Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 10(f)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (2) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

(vi) Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Price and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/100th of a cent (with 5/1,000ths rounded upward).

(vii) Notice of Conversion Price Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(f)(i), the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable (and, if such information constitutes material non-public information under U.S. federal securities laws, either concurrently with or after Public Announcement of the same information) and no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such effectiveness, send notice to the Holders containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (3) the effective time of such adjustment.

(g) [Intentionally omitted].

(h) Limitation on Conversion Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, except with respect to the Conversion Shares resulting from a Mandatory Conversion as to which the restrictions in this Section 10(h) shall not apply, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder, and no Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be convertible, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery or conversion would result in such Holder, either alone or as a part of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) “beneficially owning” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act and for purposes of Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act) in excess of nine and ninety-nine hundredths percent (9.99%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”); provided that the Ownership Limitation shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, further that, a Holder may include in the Optional Conversion Notice that is delivered to the Company in connection with a Change of Control, a notice stating that such Holder is electing to make successive conversions, which conversions shall occur (in each case by written notice from such Holder to the Company) from time to time as determined by such Holder at any time during the Successive Conversion Period (each such conversion being subject to the Ownership Limitation), it being acknowledged that the intent of this provision is to respect and preserve the Ownership Limitation for purposes of Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act, but not restrict a Holder subject to the Ownership Limitation from being able to fully convert its Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with a Change of Control (on a successive basis, if necessary) and therefore receive the Change of Control consideration (if any) payable in respect of all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any such Convertible Preferred Stock subject to such Optional Conversion Notice.

By written notice to the Company, a Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the maximum percentage (each, an “Ownership Limit Change”) to any other percentage specified not in excess of 19.99% (the “Maximum Cap”) in such notice; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company (such sixty-first (61st) day, the “Ownership Limitation Increase Effective Date”) provided further, that (i) the Maximum Cap shall only apply to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace

Rule 5635(b) (“Rule 5635(b)”) and if the Maximum Cap is not required pursuant to Rule 5625(b), then, the Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder shall be convertible on or after the Ownership Limitation Increase Effective Date following the delivery of the notice up to any percentage of the outstanding shares set forth in such notice without regard to the Maximum Cap, and (ii) such Maximum Cap may not be amended or waived absent Company stockholder approval in accordance with Rule 5635(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder who has acquired or holds shares of Convertible Preferred Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, shall not be permitted to effect an Ownership Limit Change pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase the Ownership Limitation in excess of 9.99%.

For purposes hereof, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 10(h), the Holders may rely on (I) the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the Company’s most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the Commission, or any current report filed by the Company with the Commission subsequent thereto, (II) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (III) a written confirmation by the Company or the Transfer Agent, within two (2) Trading Days following a written request from a Holder, of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. With prior written consent of the applicable Holder, the provisions of this Section 10(h) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 10(h) to correct all or any portion hereof which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(i) Effect of Common Stock Change Event.

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or classes of securities;

(2) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(4) other similar event,

and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be

entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations,

(A) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will remain outstanding (unless otherwise converted or repurchased in accordance with the terms hereof) and (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 10 or in Section 11, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of Section 7 and Section 10(c), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Sections (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units and (III) for purposes of the definition of “Change of Control,” the terms “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and

(B) for these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Common Stock, by the holders of Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

(ii) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 10(i).

(iii) Execution of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Company and, if applicable, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary or desirable to (1) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(f)(i) in a manner consistent with this Section 10(i); and (2) give effect to such other provisions, if any, as the Company reasonably

determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 10(i)(i). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental instrument(s) and such supplemental instrument(s) will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of Holders.

(iv) Notice of Common Stock Change Event. The Company will provide notices of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders (and, if such information constitutes material non-public information under U.S. federal securities laws, either concurrently with or after Public Announcement of the same information) no later than (A) twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of any Common Stock Change Event and (B) the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of the Common Stock Change Event, together with a description of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Reference Property.

(v) Successive Common Stock Change Events. The above provisions of this Section 10 shall similarly apply to successive Common Stock Change Events.

SECTION 11. CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.

(a) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Certificate of Designations requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAPs, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Price), the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(f)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Price where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(b) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. For so long as the Convertible Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company will keep reserved, out of its authorized, unreserved and not outstanding shares of Common Stock, for delivery upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the conversion in full of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, if any. To the extent the Company delivers shares of Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury in settlement of any obligation under this Certificate of Designations to deliver shares of Common Stock, each reference in this Certificate of Designations to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery.

(c) Status of Shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of on the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities

exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.

(d) Taxes Upon Issuance of Common Stock. The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder, except any tax or duty that is due because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name.

SECTION 12. CALCULATIONS.

(a) Responsibility; Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Certificate of Designations or the Convertible Preferred Stock, including determinations of the Conversion Price, the Daily VWAPs, the Last Reported Sale Prices and accumulated Regular Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request.

(b) Calculations Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder being converted with the same Conversion Date. For these purposes, any cash amounts due to such Holder in respect thereof will be rounded to the nearest cent.

SECTION 13. TAX TREATMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, for U.S. federal and other applicable state and local income tax purposes, it is intended that the Convertible Preferred Stock will not be treated as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305(b)(4) of Code and Treasury Regulations Section l.305-5(a). The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and agents to, report consistently with, and take no positions or actions inconsistent with, the foregoing treatment unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

SECTION 14. NOTICES. The Company will send all notices or communications to Holders pursuant to this Certificate of Designations in writing and delivered personally or e-mail (with confirmation of receipt from the recipient, in the case of e-mail), or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service to the Holder’s respective addresses shown on the Register. Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Designations to the contrary, any defect in the delivery of any such notice or communication will not impair or affect the validity of such notice or communication and the failure to give any such notice or communication to all the Holders will not impair or affect the validity of such notice or communication to whom such notice is sent.

SECTION 15. NO OTHER RIGHTS. The Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights, preferences or voting powers except as provided in this Certificate of Designations or the

Certificate of Incorporation or as required by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, (a) the Holders shall not have any preemptive rights, (b) except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable or otherwise mature and the term of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be perpetual, and (c) shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund.
