Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following actions shall be restricted or limited by or require any approval of the Holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii): (i) the Company and any of its controlled Affiliates entering into joint ventures, partnerships or similar arrangements and funding the same as described in clause (D) of this paragraph, so long as each such joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement is (A) in respect of a single asset or a group of related assets (for the avoidance of doubt, a group of assets shall not be deemed to be related assets solely because they perform the same function), (B) with third Persons, (C) on an arms’-length basis, (D) funded through the issuance of equity in such joint venture, capital contributions in such joint venture and/or the incurrence of indebtedness, and (E) for the purpose of (1) developing or expanding assets of the Company and such controlled Affiliates or (2) acquiring and developing new assets and growth opportunities, (ii) the issuance of securities or capital contributions among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) the issuance of securities or capital contributions among the Company and any joint ventures, partnerships or other minority owned entities in which the Company or its Subsidiaries have an equity or other interest, in each case which exist as of the Issue Date, (iv) the incurrence of any indebtedness by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (v) any of the Company’s consolidated Subsidiaries issuing any class or series of equity securities, or obligation or security convertible into, exchange for or evidencing the right to purchase any such equity securities, if the proceeds received therefrom are contemporaneously used by the Company or such Subsidiary to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7 or Section 8.

12

(c)                                   Without the consent of the Holders, but without limiting Section 4(b), the Company, acting in good faith, may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Preferred Stock by amending or supplementing the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designations or any stock certificate representing shares of the Preferred Stock:

(i)                                      to cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or mistake in any such instrument that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder;

(ii)                                   to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder; or

(iii)                                to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder (other than any Holder that consents to such change).

(d)                                  Prior to the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding and Holders shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock solely by virtue of holding the Preferred Stock.

(e)                                   In exercising the voting rights set forth in Section 4(b), each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

(f)                                    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 Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Company, applicable Law and the rules of any National Securities Exchange on which the Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

(g)                                   If prior to the exercise of the Holders’ or Company’s rights pursuant to this Certificate of Designations a filing is required pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “ HSR Act ”), then the Company, on the one hand, and any Holder, on the other hand, shall (i) as promptly as practicable, make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions required under the HSR Act, and (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, consent in respect of such filings and submissions (or the termination or expiration of the applicable waiting period, as applicable); provided, however, any filing or submission fees required of any Person in connection with any such filings or submissions required under the HSR Act shall be paid by the Company.

13

SECTION 5.                             Liquidation Rights.

(a)                                  In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of such shares of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference thereon, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock.

(b)                                  Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of its business) nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 5.

(c)                                   After the payment in full to the Holders of the amounts provided for in this Section 5, the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company in respect of their ownership of such Preferred Stock.

(d)                                  In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Holders upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5(a), no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Preferred Stock, equally and ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which Holders of all Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

SECTION 6.                             Conversion.

(a)                                  On or after the later of (i) 90 days after the Issue Date (provided that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of the Preferred Shares are either registered under the Securities Act or freely tradable (other than for volume and manner-of-sale restrictions) under applicable exemptions to the Securities Act), and (ii) the earlier of (A) 120 days after the Issue Date or (B) the expiration of any lock-up period imposed by any underwriters in connection with the initial public offering of the Company (such earlier date, the “ Lock-Up End Date ”), each Holder shall have the right, at each Holder’s option, to, except to the extent it would result in a breach of applicable Law, convert such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part (not more than once per fiscal quarter with respect to such Holder and in no event less than 18,528 shares of Preferred Stock or, if the aggregate amount of shares of Preferred Stock such Holder owns is less than 18,528 shares, then all of such shares) into that number of whole, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 11.  To convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6(a), such Holder shall give written notice (the “ Holder Conversion Notice ” and the date of such notice,

14

the “ Holder Conversion Notice Date ”) to the Company stating that such Holder elects to so convert shares of Preferred Stock and shall state therein:  (A) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted by such Holder, (B) the name or names in which such Holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued, (C) the Holder’s computation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be received by such Holder and (D) the Conversion Price on the Holder Conversion Notice Date.  If a Holder validly delivers a Holder Conversion Notice in accordance with this Section 6(a), the Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter (the date of issuance of such shares, the “ Holder Conversion Date ”).

(b)

(i)                                      On or after the Lock-Up End Date until the eighteen month anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company shall have the right to cause all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to be converted into that number of whole, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 11; provided , however , that the Company may only convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b)(i) if the Closing Sales Price of the Common Stock is greater than 120% of the IPO Price for (x) at least twenty of the thirty Trading Days immediately preceding the Company Conversion Notice Date (as defined below) and (y) the Trading Day immediately preceding the Company Conversion Notice Date after the Lock-Up End Date.

(ii)                                   On or after the eighteen month anniversary of the Issue Date until the three year anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company shall have the right to cause all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to be converted into that number of whole, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 11; provided , however , that the Company may only convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6(b)(ii) if the Closing Sales Price of the Common Stock is greater than 115% of the IPO Price for (x) at least twenty (whether or not consecutive) of the thirty Trading Days immediately preceding the Company Conversion Notice Date and (y) the Trading Day immediately preceding the Company Conversion Notice Date.

(iii)                                To convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) or Section 6(b)(ii), the Company shall give written notice (the “ Company Conversion Notice ” and the date of such notice, the “ Company Conversion Notice Date ”) to each Holder stating that the Company elects to force conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) or Section 6(b)(ii), as applicable, and shall state therein (A) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, (B) the Conversion Price on the Company Conversion Notice Date and (C) the Company’s computation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be received by the Holder.  If the Company validly delivers a Company Conversion Notice in accordance with this

15

Section 6(b), the Company shall issue the shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter (the date of issuance of such shares, the “ Company Conversion Date ”).

(iv)                               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may not cause conversion pursuant to this Section 6(b) (A) unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on the Conversion Date and (B) to the extent it would result in a breach of applicable Law.

(v)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to (and subject to the time limitations and other requirements of) this Section 6(b) at any time prior to the consummation of a Change of Control.

(c)                                   Upon conversion, each Holder shall surrender to the Company the certificates representing any shares held in certificated form to be converted during usual business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of its duly appointed Transfer Agent maintained by it, accompanied by (i) (if so required by the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent) a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and (ii) transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 6(i).

(d)                                  Immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Holder Conversion Date or the Company Conversion Date, as applicable, with respect to a conversion, a Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates or book-entry notations representing such Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder.  Except to the extent that a Holder is not able to convert its shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock as a result of Section 6(k), on the Holder Conversion Date or the Company Conversion Date, as applicable, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of Preferred Stock so converted and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the number of whole, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock have been converted (with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 11).  As promptly as practical after the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to the applicable Holder an Ownership Notice identifying the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, and a cash payment in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 11.

16

(e)                                   The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments (except as provided in Section 6(f)):

(i)                                      If the Company pays a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Common Stock to holders of the Common Stock, in their capacity as holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the record date for such dividend (or distribution) shall be divided by the following fraction:

where

OS 0                            =                                          the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution; and

OS 1                            =                                          the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution and (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend.

(ii)                                   If the Company issues to holders of shares of the Common Stock, in their capacity as holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than sixty days from the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Market Value determined on the Ex-Date for such issuance, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the Close of Business on the record date for such issuance shall be divided by the following fraction:

where

OS 0                            =                                          the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Close of Business on the record date for such issuance;

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

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

To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price on any

17

then-outstanding share of Preferred Stock not previously converted shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price that would have then been in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted until such triggering events occur.  In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Common Stock, the conversion agent shall take into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors).

(iii)                                If the Company subdivides, combines or reclassifies the shares of Common Stock into solely a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the Opening of Business on the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be divided by the following fraction:

where

OS 0                            =                                          the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

OS 1                            =                                          the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Opening of Business on the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification.

(iv)                               (A) If the Company distributes to all holders of shares of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock) or other assets (including securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in clause (i); any rights or warrants referred to in clause (ii) above; any consideration payable in connection with a tender offer made by the Company or any of its Affiliates referred to in clause (v) below; and any dividend of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit in the case of a spin-off to which the following clause (iv)(B) applies), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the Close of Business on the record date for such distribution shall be divided by the following fraction:

18

where

SP 0                              =                                          the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and

FMV                     =                                          the fair market value of the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock at the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date as determined by the Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP 0 ” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, each holder of Preferred Stock shall receive, for each share of Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of such distributed assets that such holder would have received as if such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio in effect on the Record Date for the distribution.

(B)                                In a spin-off, where the Company makes a distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock consisting of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to, a Subsidiary or other business unit where such capital stock or similar equity interests are, or will be when issued, listed or admitted for trading on a National Securities Exchange, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted at the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day after the Ex-Date of the distribution by dividing such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Opening of Business on such tenth Trading Day by the following fraction:

where

MP 0                         =                                          the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock over each of the first 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the Ex-Date of such distribution; and

MP S                         =                                          the average of the closing sale price of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of such distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock over each of the first 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the Ex-Date of such distribution, as reported in the principal securities exchange or quotation system or market on which such shares are traded, or if not traded on a national or regional securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the capital stock or equity interests representing the portion of such distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock on such Ex-Date as determined by the Board of Directors.  Such closing sale prices for the Trading Days

19

in such 10 Trading Day period shall be adjusted in respect of transactions in respect of such capital stock or equity interests in like manner to the adjustment to “Closing Sale Price” specified in the second sentence of the definition of such term.

For purposes of determining the Conversion Price in respect of any Conversion Date that occurs during the 10 Trading Days following, and including, the Ex-Date of any such spin-off, references within the previous sentence to 10 Trading Days or the 10th Trading Day shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Date of such distribution and such Conversion Date.  In the event that such distribution described in this clause (iv) is not so made, the Conversion Price of any then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock not previously converted shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend distribution had not been declared.

(v)                                  In the case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the denominator shall be the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (2) the Market Value per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase.

(vi)                               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 6(e) need be made to the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the Conversion Price then in effect.  Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the earlier of (i) the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of such Conversion Price and (ii) the Opening of Business on each Conversion Date.

(vii)                            Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6(e), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to holders of Common Stock, in their capacity as holders of Common Stock, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“ Trigger Event ”):  (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock,

20

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 6(e) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 6(e) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under Section 6(e)(ii) or (iv).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 6(e) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price on any then-outstanding share of Preferred Stock not previously converted shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise thereof, the Conversion Price on any then-outstanding share of Preferred Stock not previously converted shall be readjusted as if such expired or terminated rights and warrants had not been issued.  To the extent that the Company has a rights plan or agreement in effect upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, which rights plan provides for rights or warrants of the type described in this clause, then upon conversion of Preferred Stock the Holder will receive, in addition to the Common Stock to which he is entitled, a corresponding number of rights in accordance with the rights plan, unless a Trigger Event has occurred and the adjustments to the Conversion Price with respect thereto have been made in accordance with the foregoing first sentence of this Section 6(e)(vii). In lieu of any such adjustment pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6(e)(vii) in respect of a Trigger Event, the Company may amend such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement to provide that there shall be the distributed, and cause to be distributed, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Trigger Event, to all Holders of Preferred Stock the rights that would have attached to such number of shares of Common Stock as are issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such Trigger Event, without having to convert their shares of Preferred Stock.

(f)                                    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(e), no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made with respect to any distribution if the Holders are entitled to participate in such distribution as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to the record date for such distribution, without having to convert their shares of Preferred Stock.

(g)                                   If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect on any then-outstanding share of Preferred Stock not previously converted shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

21

(h)                                  Upon any increase or decrease in the Conversion Price, then, and in each such case, the Company promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an Officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment.

(i)                                      The issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock and the issuance or delivery of any Ownership Notice, whether at the request of a Holder or upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, shall each be made without charge to the Holder or recipient of shares of Preferred Stock for such certificates or Ownership Notice or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby or such Ownership Notice or the securities identified therein, and such certificates or Ownership Notice shall be issued or delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the applicable Holder; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of the relevant Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or Ownership Notice unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(j)                                     Any shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to this Section 6 shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by matters of any Law), free and clear or any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law or this Certificate of Designations or created by the holders thereof.

(k)                                  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock such maximum number of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock pursuant any applicable provision of this Certificate of Designations, and shall take all action required to be taken by it (including promptly calling and holding one or more special meetings of the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company until such increase is approved in accordance with applicable Law and amending the Certificate of Incorporation) to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed by the affirmative vote of the Holders of at least 75% of the shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, all shares of Preferred Stock which would otherwise convert into shares of Common Stock shall remain outstanding and shall continue to accumulate and compound additional dividends pursuant to Section 3 until such time as there are sufficient unissued shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

22

(l)                                      In the case of:

(i)                                      any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii)                                   any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,

(iii)                                any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or

(iv)                               any statutory share exchange,

in each case, (x) that is not a Change of Control and (y) as a result of which the Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such transaction or event, a “ Reorganization Event ”), then, at and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the right to convert each share of Preferred Stock shall be changed into a right to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event (such stock, securities or other property or assets, the “ Reference Property ”); provided, however, if the holders of shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Reorganization Event, the consideration that the Holders will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of shares of Common Stock who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of shares of Common Stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Reorganization Event. The Company shall not become a party to any Reorganization Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 6(l).  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Preferred Stock to convert its Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 6 prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event.  Notwithstanding Section 6(e), no adjustment to the Conversion Ratio shall be made for any Reorganization Event to the extent stock, securities or other property or assets become the Reference Property receivable upon conversion of Preferred Stock.

The Company shall provide, by amendment hereto effective upon any such Reorganization Event, for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to successive Reorganization Events.

In this Certificate of Designations, if the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property as a result of any such Reorganization Event, references to the Common Stock are intended to refer to such Reference Property.

(m)                              Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Company shall not, and shall not be entitled to, effect any redemption of shares of Preferred Stock on any Optional Redemption Date or Change of Control Redemption Date pursuant to Section 7 or Section 10, respectively, unless the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible by the Holder into shares of Common Stock

23

pursuant to Section 6(a) on at least one Business Day for the period after receipt of the Optional Redemption Notice or notice described in Section 9(c), as applicable, and prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply if the failure of the shares of Preferred Stock to be convertible by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) is due to any action or inaction of such Holder.

SECTION 7.                             Optional Redemption.

(a)                                  Subject to the rights of Holders under Section 6(a), at any time, and from time to time, on or after the three-year anniversary of the Issue Date (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any time on or after the three-year anniversary of the Issue Date prior to the consummation of a Change of Control) the Company shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, from any source of funds legally available for such purpose.  Any such redemption shall occur on a Business Day set by the Company in its sole discretion (the “ Optional Redemption Date ”).

(b)                                  Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 7 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed equal to the Liquidation Preference (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Accrued Dividends added to the Liquidation Preference in accordance with Section 3(d)) (the “ Optional Redemption Price ”).

(c)                                   The Company shall give notice of its election to redeem the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 not less than 20 days and not more than 60 days before the scheduled Optional Redemption Date, to the Holders of Preferred Stock as such Holders’ names appear (as of the Close of Business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the “ Optional Redemption Notice ”) shall state:  (i) the Optional Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number (and, in the case of shares in certificated form, the identification) of shares to be redeemed from such Holder, (iii) the Optional Redemption Price on the date of such notice and (iv) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Price therefor.

(d)                                  If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7, the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be determined by the Company, provided the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed pursuant an election pursuant to this Section 7 shall not be less than 18,528 shares of Preferred Stock or, if the aggregate amount of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding is less than 18,528 shares, then all of such shares, and provided that the Preferred Stock is redeemed on a pro rata basis across all Holders based on their respective ownership of Preferred Stock unless agreed upon otherwise by the Holders.  The shares of Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding.

(e)                                   If the Company gives an Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock as to which such

24

Optional Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than the Opening of Business on the Optional Redemption Date, and the Company shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Optional Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice.  If the Optional Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Optional Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Optional Redemption Notice, all dividends on such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the right to receive the Optional Redemption Price.  The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Optional Redemption Price of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed), and the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income.  Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the applicable Optional Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Company.  Notwithstanding any Optional Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption until funds sufficient to pay the full Optional Redemption Price of such shares shall have been deposited by the Company with the Paying Agent.

(f)                                    Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be cancelled.  If only a portion of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a Certificate shall have been called for redemption, upon surrender of the Certificate to the Paying Agent, the Company shall issue and the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Holders a new Certificate (or adjust the applicable book-entry account) representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered Certificate that have not been called for redemption.

SECTION 8.                             Forced Redemption.

(a)                                  On October 15, 2021 (the “ Forced Redemption Date ”), the Company shall, subject to applicable Law, redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole and not in part, from any source of funds legally available for such purpose.

(b)                                  Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 8 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed equal to the Liquidation Preference (the “ Forced Redemption Price ”).

(c)                                   On the Forced Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of outstanding Preferred Stock, and the Company shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Forced Redemption Price to the Holders upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor. On the Forced Redemption Date, all dividends on the Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock, including the rights, if any, to receive

25

notices, will terminate, except only the right to receive the Forced Redemption Price.  The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Forced Redemption Price of the shares of Preferred Stock), and the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income.  Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the Forced Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Company.

SECTION 9.                             Change of Control Conversion.

(a)                                  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs while shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, each Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert (a “ Change of Control Conversion ”) such number of Preferred Stock held by such Holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date as such Holder may elect in accordance with Section 9(d) into a number of whole, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock per Preferred Stock that is an amount equal to the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “ Conversion Common Shares ”).  The “ Change of Control Conversion Date ” shall be the date on which the Change of Control occurs, with the conversion effective immediately prior to the Change of Control.

(b)                                  In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which shares of Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (“ Alternative Conversion Consideration ”), each Holder electing to participate in the Change of Control Conversion will receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock elected by such holder the kind and amount of such Alternative Conversion Consideration on a per share basis which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Common Shares immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control; provided , that, if the holders of shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Change of Control, the consideration that the Holders electing to participate in the Change of Control Conversion will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of shares of Common Stock who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of shares of Common Stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control.

(c)                                   Promptly upon entry into an agreement that provides for a Change of Control (but in no event less than 20 Business Days prior to the Change of Control Election Deadline, unless the Change of Control is expected to be consummated within 20 Business Days after the entry into such agreement, in which case as promptly as practicable), the Company (or a third party with its prior written consent) shall provide to Holders a written notice of the anticipated occurrence of the Change of Control that describes the resulting Change of Control Conversion Right and Change of Control redemption right under Section 10 and states: (i) the events

26

constituting the anticipated Change of Control; (ii) the anticipated Change of Control Conversion Date as reasonably estimated by the Board of Directors at such time; (iii) the Change of Control Election Deadline; (iv) the method and period for calculating the Conversion Common Shares and Change of Control Redemption Price; (v) if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per share of Preferred Stock; (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent; and (vii) the procedures that the Holders must follow to exercise the Change of Control Conversion Right as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors.

(d)                                  Each Holder electing to participate in the Change of Control Conversion will be required prior to the Close of Business on the third Business Day preceding the anticipated Change of Control Conversion Date set forth in the notice described in Section 9(c) (the “ Change of Control Election Deadline ”), to notify the Company in writing of the number of Preferred Stock held by such Holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date that such Holder elects to be converted in the Change of Control Conversion.  The failure of any Holder to timely deliver a written notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (or the delivery by a Holder of a timely notice of exercise for only a portion, but not all, of the Preferred Stock held by such Holder) shall constitute an election by such Holder to not participate in the Change of Control Conversion with respect to the applicable Change of Control (or to not participate in the Change of Control Conversion with respect to the applicable Change of Control as to the portion of the Preferred Stock held by such Holder as to which a timely notice of exercise was not delivered) (any such shares of Preferred Stock, the “ Non-Converted Shares ”).

(e)                                   Upon conversion, effective immediately prior to the related Change of Control, the rights of such participating Holder as a holder of Preferred Stock shall cease with respect to such converted Preferred Stock, and such Person shall have the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock.  Each share of Preferred Stock shall, upon its Change of Control Conversion Date, be deemed to be transferred to, and cancelled by, the Company in exchange for the issuance of the Conversion Common Shares. As promptly as practical after the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Company shall notify each applicable Holder of the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, and shall deliver a cash payment to such Holder in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 11.

(f)                                    The participating Holder shall pay any tax or duty which may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of Conversion Common Shares in a name other than such Holder’s name.  The Transfer Agent may refuse to reflect the notation of book entry (or the issuance of a Certificate) for shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Transfer Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties which will be due because the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name.  Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by Law.

(g)                                   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any Holder any rights as a creditor in respect of its right to conversion.

SECTION 10.                      Change of Control Redemption.

(a)                                  Subject to the right of Holders to a Change of Control Conversion pursuant to Section 9, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control that occurs while shares of Preferred

27

Stock are outstanding, the Company shall, or shall cause a third party with the prior written consent of the Company (the Company or such third party, the “ Redeeming Party ”) to, subject to applicable Law, redeem the Non-Converted Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10, in whole and not in part, from any source of funds legally available for such purpose.  The “ Change of Control Redemption Date ” shall be any Business Day no more than 5 Business Days after the Change of Control Conversion Date that is fixed by the Redeeming Party, in its sole discretion, as the date the Preferred Stock is to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10.

(b)                                  Subject to applicable Law, the Redeeming Party shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 10 by paying cash for each Non-Converted Share equal to the greater of (i) an amount sufficient to cause the ROI of such Non-Converted Share to be 1.35, and (ii) an amount sufficient to cause the IRR of each Non-Converted Share to be 17.5%; provided , however , that if a Change of Control occurs on or after the three year anniversary of the Issue Date, the amount to be paid to redeem each Non-Converted Share pursuant to this Section 10 shall be an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference (the “ Change of Control Redemption Price ”).

(c)                                   On the Change of Control Redemption Date, the Redeeming Party shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the Non-Converted Shares, and the Redeeming Party shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holders of the Non-Converted Shares.  On the Change of Control Redemption Date, all distributions on the Non-Converted Shares shall cease to accrue and all rights of Holders of such shares with respect to such shares shall cease, except the right to receive the Change of Control Redemption Price and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Transfer Agent or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.  The Redeeming Party shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Change of Control Redemption Price of the Non-Converted Shares), and the holders of the Non-Converted Shares shall have no claim to any such interest income.  Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Redeeming Party for any reason that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the Change of Control Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by Law, repaid to the Redeeming Party upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders of the Non-Converted Shares shall have recourse only to the Redeeming Party.

SECTION 11.                      No Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock or securities representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion, whether voluntary or mandatory, or in respect of dividend payments made in Common Stock on the Preferred Stock.  Instead, the Company may elect to either make a cash payment to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share (based on the Closing Sale Price of such fractional share determined as of the day immediately prior to the Conversion Date) or, in lieu of such cash payment, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to any particular Holder upon conversion shall be rounded up to the next whole share.

28
