(v) not, and shall cause Intermediate HoldCo not to, conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any business or operations, in each case, other than (1) the ownership of the capital stock of Intermediate HoldCo and Reorganized Invacare (in the case of the Corporation), and of such Subsidiaries and other affiliates; (2) the performance of its respective obligations under its organization documents, and the compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, judgements, decrees, or permits applicable to it; (3) the participation in tax, accounting, cash management, cash pooling, transfer pricing, cost-sharing arrangements and other administrative matters related to it or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) the activities described in Section 6.06(a)(iv) and (v) of the Exit Term Loan Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof; (5) defend or exercise its rights, and discharge its obligations under, the Exit Secured Convertible Notes, the Exit Secured Convertible Tranche I Notes Indenture, and the Exit Secured Convertible Tranche II Notes Indenture; (6) incurring fees, costs and expenses relating to overhead and general operating including professional fees for legal, tax and accounting issues and paying taxes, providing indemnification for its current and former officers, directors, members of management, managers, employees and advisors or consultants; and (7) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described in the foregoing clauses.

(b) Except as not prohibited by the Exit Term Loan Facility, the Exit Secured Convertible Tranche I Notes Indenture, and the Exit Secured Convertible Tranche II Notes Indenture, prior to the Exit Indebtedness Termination Date, the Corporation shall not, without the consent of the majority of the Exit Lenders (determined on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each as of the date of determination):

(i) make any cash payment with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock, including pursuant to Section 4 or Section 9 hereof; and

(ii) make any payment with respect to any shares of capital stock of Intermediate HoldCo.

(c) The Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, to the extent permitted by the Depositary, each of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are eligible for clearance and settlement through the facilities of the Depositary.

(d) 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 (i) the Series A Preferred Stock will not be treated as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305(b)(4) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5(a); and (ii) no Holder will be required to include in income any amounts in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock by operation of Section 305(b) or (c) of the Code. The Corporation will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and agents to, report consistently with, and take no positions or actions inconsistent with, the foregoing treatment (including by way of withholding) unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(e) If at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries offers to issue or sell, or to enter into any agreement

providing for the issuance or sale (contingent or otherwise) (each, an “Offer”) of, any capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock of the Corporation (“New Securities”) to any Person (“Offeree”), the Corporation shall offer to sell to each Exit Lender that is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act (each, an “Entitled Stockholder”), on the terms set forth in this Section 6(e) a portion of such New Securities equal to (i) the number of such New Securities being offered to such Offeree multiplied by (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Entitled Stockholder (which for purposes hereof shall include shares held by a depository, broker, financial advisor and/or other nominee for such stockholder) and (B) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by all Entitled Stockholders; provided that if the Corporation requires an Offeree to also purchase other equity securities or debt securities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, any Entitled Stockholder shall also, as a condition to the exercise of such stockholder’s preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 6(e), be required to purchase the same class and type of securities of the Corporation or its subsidiaries on the same terms and conditions; and provided, further, that the term New Securities shall not include securities issued, or to be issued, (A) in a bona fide underwritten public offering having an aggregate offering price of at least $50,000,000; and (B) in transactions not of a capital-raising nature such as, for example, (i) securities issued to employees, officers or directors pursuant to compensation plans, agreements or other arrangements, (ii) securities issued to sellers of assets or entities acquired by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, whether by merger, asset purchase, reorganization or other transaction the primary purpose of which is not to provide financing to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) securities issued as “equity kickers” to unaffiliated parties providing financing to the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

The Corporation shall deliver to each Entitled Stockholder a notice (the “Offer Notice”), describing in reasonable detail the New Securities being offered, the proposed purchase price thereof (which may be a price range), the expected use of proceeds thereof, the payment terms and conditions and the maximum amount and percentage of the offering such Entitled Stockholder is entitled to purchase.

In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, an Entitled Stockholder must, within 10 Business Days after delivery of the Offer Notice, deliver a written notice to the Corporation stating the exercise of such purchase right and the quantity or percentage of New Securities to be purchased by such Entitled Stockholder, which quantity or percentage may be all or any portion of the amount to which such Entitled Stockholder is entitled pursuant to this Section 6(e).

In the event any Entitled Stockholder fails to exercise its rights under this Section 6(e) with respect to any particular New Securities within such 10-Business Day period, the Corporation shall have 180 days thereafter to sell such New Securities, at a price not more favorable and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchaser of such New Securities than as specified in the Offer Notice. Any New Securities that are not sold within such 180-day period shall not thereafter be issued or sold without first being reoffered to the Entitled Stockholders pursuant to this Section 6(e).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6(e), the Corporation may comply with the provisions of this Section 6(e) by first selling to an Offeree, subject to the conditions contained in the following sentence, all of the New Securities contemplated to be issued and sold by the Corporation in an Offer and promptly thereafter offering to sell to the Entitled Stockholders the number of such New Securities such Entitled Stockholders are entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 6(e). In the event that any Entitled Stockholder purchases securities from the Corporation pursuant to this Section 6(e), upon the request of the Board of Directors, the Offeree may, in its discretion, sell to the Corporation for a

price per share of Common Stock or other equity security or debt security equal to the original cost thereof, the same number and class of shares of Common Stock or other equity security or debt security acquired by the Offeree that are purchased by such Person(s) exercising their rights under this Section 6(e); provided that in the event the Offeree elects not to sell such securities back to the Corporation pursuant to this sentence, each Person exercising their rights under this Section 6(e) shall be entitled to purchase an amount of additional New Securities from the Corporation so that such Person’s Percentage Ownership vis-à-vis such Offeree is the same as it would have been had the Offeree sold such shares of Common Stock or other equity securities or debt securities back to the Corporation pursuant to this sentence.

In the event that the participation in the Offer by an Entitled Stockholder would require under applicable law the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities, such Entitled Stockholder shall not have the right to participate in the Offer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary shall be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar state statutes.

Section 7 Voting Power.

(a) General.

(i) Except as otherwise provided by law, the Charter, or this Certificate of Designations, each Holder shall be entitled to cast, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, with respect to any matter subject to the approval of holders of the Common Stock, a number of votes and fractions thereof equal to the number of shares of Common Stock and fractions thereof into which each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder could have been converted on the record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.

(ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Charter, this Certificate of Designations, or the Bylaws so as to increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or to adversely affect the powers, preferences and rights,

(d) The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Holders (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other procedural aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Charter, the Bylaws, applicable law, and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading facility on which the Series A Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

Section 8 Redemption at the Election of the Company.

(a) Following the occurrence of the Exit Indebtedness Termination Date, the Corporation shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to call for redemption all or some of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, by written notice (a “Redemption Notice”) sent to the Holders not less than 20 and not more than 35 calendar days prior to the date designated by the Corporation for such redemption (each such date, a “Voluntary Redemption Date”).

(b) The Redemption Notice shall identify the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and shall state:

(i) that Holders have the right to convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption, and the Conversion Price then in effect;

(ii) the Voluntary Redemption Date;

(iii) that any definitive stock certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar and Transfer Agent to receive the amounts due in connection with such redemption;

(iv) the name and address of the Registrar and Transfer Agent;

(v) that Holders who wish to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock must exercise their right to do so in the form prescribed by Section 10(b) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Voluntary Redemption Date; and

(vi) that, unless the Corporation defaults on the payment of the amounts specified in Section 8(c) below, Dividends in respect of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the Voluntary Redemption Date.

If some of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed are represented by a Global Certificate, the Corporation shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to redemptions.

The Redemption Notice may, at the Corporation’s discretion, state that any such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

(c) On the Voluntary Redemption Date, the Corporation shall pay to each Holder of shares to be redeemed on such date, per each share of Series A Preferred Stock being so redeemed, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference at the time in effect, together with the corresponding Redemption Dividend Amount accrued thereon. After the payment to such Holder of the aggregate amount of the Liquidation Preference at the time in effect and the Redemption Dividend Amount corresponding to all of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed, such Holder shall have no rights or claims to any remaining assets of the Corporation with respect to such shares.

(d) The delivery of a notice of redemption by the Corporation pursuant to Section 8(a) above shall not impair the Holders’ right to convert their respective shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 10 below.

(e) Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed pursuant to this Section 8 or pursuant to Section 9 shall be cancelled and may not be re-issued or included in authorized Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 9 Mandatory Redemption Offer.

(a) The provisions of this Section shall apply upon the occurrence, after the Exit Indebtedness Termination Date, of any of the following (each, a “Mandatory Redemption Event”):

(i) a Change of Control;

(ii) an Intermediate HoldCo Fundamental Change; or

(iii) a Reorganized Invacare Fundamental Change.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event, the Corporation shall promptly, and in no event more than five Business Days from the date of such occurrence, either (i) call for redemption pursuant to Section 8 all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and send to all Holders a Redemption Notice as provided therein, or (ii) make a written offer to all Holders (the “Mandatory Redemption Offer”) to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a date selected by the Corporation (such date, the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) that shall be not earlier than 20 and no more than 35 calendar days after the date the offer is delivered to the Holders. The Mandatory Redemption Offer shall specify:

(i) the nature of the Mandatory Redemption Event occurred;

(ii) the date of the Mandatory Redemption Event;

(iii) the Mandatory Redemption Date;

(iv) the last date on which a Holder may accept the Corporation’s offer to redeemed the shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

(v) that any definitive stock certificates evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed must be presented and surrendered to the Registrar and Transfer Agent to receive the amounts due in connection with such redemption;

(vi) the name and address of the Registrar and Transfer Agent; and

(vii) that, unless the Corporation defaults on the payment of the amounts specified in Section 9(d) below, Dividends in respect of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered for redemption shall cease to accrue on the Mandatory Redemption Date.

(c) Should the funds legally available to the Corporation for the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock not be sufficient to pay to all Holders all amounts due pursuant to Section 9(d) below in respect of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the Mandatory Redemption Offer shall (i) indicate the total amount of funds legally available to the Corporation for redemptions of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) include an explanation of how such amount was determined, and (iii) set forth the method, or methods, of how the funds will be allocated among Holders, in the event the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered for redemption exceeds the funds the Corporation has legally available for that purpose; provided, that any such method shall ensure that each share selected for redemption is redeemed in full.

(d) On the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Corporation shall pay to each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed, in respect of each such share, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference at the time in effect, together with the corresponding Redemption Dividend Amount accrued thereon.

(e) After the payment by the Corporation to the respective Holder of the aggregate amount of the Liquidation Preference at the time in effect and the corresponding Redemption Dividend Amount in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed, such Holder shall have no rights or claims to any remaining assets of the Corporation with respect to such share.

(f) Following each Mandatory Redemption Date on which the Corporation is unable to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock timely tendered for redemption due to the insufficiency of funds legally available for that purpose, the Corporation shall be required to send to the Holders additional Mandatory Redemption Offers within 20 Business Days from each date on which the Corporation shall receive additional payments or proceeds from the transaction or occurrence that constituted the original Mandatory Redemption Event from which such Mandatory Redemption Date arose, provided that at least $10,000,000.00 (or such lesser amount as the Board of Directors may determine in its discretion) are legally available to pay for additional redemptions of Series A Preferred Stock.

(g) The delivery of a Mandatory Redemption Offer by the Corporation as provided above shall not impair the Holders’ right to convert their respective shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 10 below.

(h) In connection with any redemption of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 9, the Corporation shall (i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 (or any successor provision) and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable; and (ii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 9, the Corporation’s compliance with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of its obligations under this Section 9.

Section 10 Voluntary Conversion at the Option of the Holder.

(a) Subject to satisfaction of the conversion procedures set forth below, the Holders shall have the option to convert (a “Voluntary Conversion”), at any time on or after the Free Convertibility Date, a share of Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Liquidation Preference as of the calendar day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, into (y) the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.

(b) To effect a Voluntary Conversion, a Holder must:

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

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

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

(iv) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to effect a Voluntary Conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in global form, the Holder must, in lieu of the foregoing, comply with the

applicable procedures of DTC (or any other Depositary for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in global form appointed by the Corporation).

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

Subject to any applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary, if more than one share of the Series A Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered.

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

A certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be issued and delivered to the converting Holder or, if the Series A Preferred Stock being converted are in book‑entry form, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be delivered to the converting Holder through book‑entry transfer through the facilities of the Depositary, to the extent permitted by the Depositary, in each case, together with delivery by the Corporation to the converting Holder of any cash to which the converting Holder is entitled, only after all applicable taxes and duties, if any, payable by such converting Holder have been paid in full, and such shares and cash will be delivered on the latest of (i) the second Business Day immediately succeeding the Conversion Date, and (ii) the Business Day after the Holder has paid in full all applicable taxes and duties, if any.

The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Voluntary Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date. Prior to the Close of Business on such applicable Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose, and Holders shall have no rights, powers or preferences with respect to such shares of Common Stock, including voting powers, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

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

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

of the Corporation and, if applicable, to send the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock to the address of such Holder shown on the records of the Corporation.

(d) If the Corporation has a shareholder rights plan in effect upon a conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each share of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates or book entries representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to a conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan, the provisions of Section 13(a)(ii) shall apply to such separated rights.

Section 11 Reservation of Common Stock.

(a) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which shall initially equal 98,067,027 shares of Common Stock). For purposes of this Section 11(a), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder.

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

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

(d) The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Corporation shall, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 12 Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued to Holders as a result of any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of the aggregate number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of any Holder that are converted hereunder, the Corporation shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent)

equal to the product of (i) that same fraction and (ii) the Fair Value of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

Section 13 Anti‑Dilution Adjustments to the Conversion Price.

(a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted as set forth in this Section 13, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Price if each Holder is eligible to participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Series A Preferred Stock, in any of the transactions set forth in Section 13(a)(i)‑(iv) without having to convert their Series A Preferred Stock as if such Holder held the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder on the record date for such transaction could be converted into on such date.

(i) If the Corporation shall, after the Effective Date, (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution or bonus issue on any of its Common Stock in Common Stock, (B) subdivide (by way of a share split or otherwise) or reclassify any of its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (C) combine or reclassify (by way of reverse stock split or otherwise) any of its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, in each event, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant record date (in the case of the preceding clause (A)) or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of the subdivision or combination (in the case of the preceding clauses (B) and (C)) for such dividend, distribution, bonus issue, subdivision, reclassification, or combination shall be adjusted to the number obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the relevant record date (in the case of the preceding clause (A)) or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of the subdivision, reclassification, or combination (in the case of the preceding clauses (B) and (C)) for such dividend, distribution, bonus issue, subdivision, reclassification, or combination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, bonus issue, subdivision, reclassification or combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 13(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the relevant record date for such dividend, distribution, or bonus issue (in the case of clause (A)), or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such subdivision, reclassification, or combination (in the case of clauses (B) and (C)). If any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 13(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend, distribution, or bonus issue to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, or bonus issue had not been declared. For the purposes of this Section 13(a)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time shall not include shares that the Corporation holds in treasury. The Corporation shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock that it holds in treasury.

(ii) If the Corporation issues to holders of its Common Stock, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of its Common Stock to receive, any right to subscribe for additional Common Stock pursuant to a rights offering at a

price per share of Common Stock less than the Fair Value per share of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (a “Rights Offering”), then the Conversion Price shall, with effect at the Open of Business on the Business Day immediately following the date on which such Rights Offering is consummated, be decreased to a price determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (O + Y) ÷ (O + X)

where,

“CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the adjustment provided in this Section 13(a)(ii);

“CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the adjustment provided in this Section 13(a)(ii);

“O” shall mean the number of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the consummation of the Rights Offering;

“X” shall mean the number of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights pursuant to the Rights Offering; and

“Y” shall mean the number of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable for the Common Stock in the Rights Offering divided by the Fair Value per share of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of the Rights Offering.

Any adjustment made under this Section 13(a)(ii) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first Trading Day immediately following the date on which the Rights Offering is consummated.

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

(iii) If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, distribute to the holders of Common Stock any dividend or other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other properties or assets, or any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing (in each case other than (i) dividends or distributions of Common Stock referred to in Section 13(a)(i), or (ii) distributions of rights pursuant to Section 13(a)(ii)), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Value per share of Common Stock as of

the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution less the sum of (A) the cash portion, if any, of such distribution per share of Common Stock outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution plus (B) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) on the record date for such distribution of that portion, if any, of such distribution consisting of evidences of indebtedness, other securities, properties, assets, options, warrants or subscription or purchase rights, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for such distribution (exclusive of any treasury shares), and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Value per share of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution. The adjustments required by this Section 13(a)(iii) shall be made whenever any such distribution occurs retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(iv) If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall, at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Fair Value per share of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Price shall be decreased to a price determined based on the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (FMV – P) ÷ FMV

where,

Section 19 Book‑Entry Form; Global and Definitive Certificates.

(a) Except as provided in Section 19(b) and (c) below, shares of the Series A Preferred Stok will be issued only in the form of book entries maintained by the Corporation’s Registrar and Transfer Agent. If necessary to comply with applicable laws, such entries may include notations or other legends reflecting any restrictions applicable to the shares evidenced thereby; subject to the foregoing, the Registrar and Transfer Agent may, in consultation with the Corporation, adopt and implement procedures that allow Holders, or their prospective transferees, to hold their shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the form of a book entry pursuant to this Section 19(a), as Global Certificate Shares pursuant to Section 19(b), in the form of definitive stock certificates pursuant to Section 19(c), or any combination thereof.

(b) When and if accepted for clearance and settlement through the facilities of the Depositary, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in the form of one or more permanent global shares of Series A Preferred Stock in definitive, fully registered form with the global legend as set forth on the form of Series A Preferred Stock certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Global Certificate” and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate, the “Global Certificate Shares”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Certificate of Designations. The Global Certificates shall be signed by the Corporation and countersigned by the Registrar as provided in Section 19(d), and may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Corporation is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Corporation).

Each Global Certificate shall be (i) registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of the Depositary, and (ii) delivered by the Registrar to, or pursuant to instructions received from, Cede & Co., or held by the Registrar as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to an agreement between the Depositary and the Registrar. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Global Certificate Share held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Registrar as the custodian of the Depositary, or under such Global Certificate Share, and the Depositary may be treated by the Corporation, the Registrar and any agent of the Corporation or the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Certificate Share for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Registrar or any agent of the Corporation or the Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its

Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Certificate Share. The Holder of the Global Certificate Shares may grant proxies or otherwise authorize any Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take pursuant to the Global Certificate Shares, this Certificate of Designations or the Charter.

(c) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by book entries maintained by the Corporation’s Registrar and Transfer Agent pursuant to Section 19(a), and owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificate Shares shall be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock evidenced by definitive stock certificates in the form of the Series A Preferred Stock certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A, without the global legend, provided that such Holder (in the case of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by book entries maintained by the Corporation’s Registrar and Transfer Agent pursuant to Section 19(a)), or the relevant Agent Member (in the case of beneficial interests in Global Certificate Shares), as applicable, submit a written request to the Registrar setting forth the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be evidenced by definitive stock certificates, the number of definitive stock certificates requested, the name or names of the Persons to be identified as Holders in such definitive stock certificates, together with their respective notice details, and the manner how the requested definitive stock certificates shall be delivered. Upon receipt of such request, together with such additional documentation or information as the Corporation or the Registrar may request to verify the authenticity of the request and compliance with any applicable federal or state securities and other laws, the Corporation shall issue, and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in the manner indicated in the request such definitive stock certificates and shall enter in the Register the names of the Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock evidenced thereby, and, if applicable, decrease by appropriate entries in Schedule I attached to the Global Certificate(s) the total number of shares represented thereby.

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

If necessary to comply with applicable laws, definitive stock certificates issued pursuant to this Section 19(c) may include notations or other legends reflecting any restrictions the shares evidenced thereby may be subject to. The Corporation may instruct the Registrar to remove any such notation or legend upon receipt from the relevant Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (which may be in the form of a legal opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) that the protections of such notation or legend are no longer necessary to ensure compliance with the securities laws.

(d) Each Global Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation’s Bylaws and applicable Delaware law, by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Global Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Registrar countersigned such Global Certificate, such Global Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Global Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Registrar manually countersigns such Global Certificate. Each Global Certificate shall be dated the date of its countersignature.

The foregoing paragraph shall likewise apply to any definitive stock certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
