In the event that such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, that no such notice is required to be provided to the Company or that the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.4, the Purchaser may disclose such Confidential Information without liability hereunder. The confidentiality letter agreement, dated July 14, 2021, by and between The Blackstone Group International Partners LLP and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall terminate simultaneously with the Closing.

Section 4.5 Information Rights.

(a) For so long as the Purchaser Parties have the right, pursuant to Section 4.1, to nominate the Purchaser Nominee for election to the Board of Directors, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser Parties through the Series B Director copies of all material substantive materials provided to (i) the Board of Directors or any committee thereof at substantially the same time as provided to the directors of the Company or to the directors of the Company serving on such committee, as applicable and (ii) the Company’s senior lenders at substantially the same time as provided to the Company’s senior lenders; provided that each of the Purchaser Parties may elect, from time and time and in its sole discretion, not to receive copies of any or all of such materials.

Section 4.6 Filings; Other Actions.

(a) The Purchaser and the Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to obtain or submit, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the approvals and authorizations of, filings and registrations with, and notifications to, or expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws (the “Antitrust Approval”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4.6 shall require or obligate the Sponsor and its respective Affiliates and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, the Sponsor or any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of the Sponsor or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle to propose, negotiation, commit to, or effect, by consent decree, holder separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition, or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of such assets, properties, or businesses of the Sponsor or any of its respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, investment funds, or portfolio companies, in order to avoid the entry of any decree, judgment, injunction (permanent or preliminary), or any other order that would make the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unlawful or would otherwise materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser and the Company shall each prepare and file within ten (10) business days after the date hereof a required Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In connection with such

22

undertakings, the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will cooperate and consult with the other and use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations of, or any exemption by, all third parties and Governmental Entities, necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining the Antitrust Approval. The Purchaser and the Company shall execute and deliver both before and after the Closing such further certificates, agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other party may reasonably request to consummate or implement such transactions or to evidence such events or matters.

(b) The Purchaser and the Company will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other, in each case, subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the material information required for or which appears in any application or other filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining the Antitrust Approval. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees to keep the other party apprised of the status of matters referred to in this Section 4.6, and shall promptly notify the other party of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any U.S. or foreign Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining the Antitrust Approval. The Purchaser shall promptly furnish the Company, and the Company shall promptly furnish each Purchaser, to the extent permitted by law, with copies of written communications received by it or its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining the Antitrust Approval; provided, further, that materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (z) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, to the extent that that such attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns are not governed by a common interest privilege or doctrine. Neither the Purchaser nor the Company shall participate in any substantive meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining the Antitrust Approval unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate therein or thereat.

Section 4.7 Antitakeover Provisions. If, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Antitakeover Provision shall apply or purport to apply to this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, the Board of Directors shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, take all actions necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms required by, or provided for, in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, and otherwise to take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible the effects of any such Antitakeover Provision thereupon or upon the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 4.8 Tax Matters.

(a) USRPHC Status. As of the Closing Date, the Company is not, and never has been, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code (a “USRPHC”). The Company shall notify Purchaser promptly following any “determination date” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(c)(1)) or otherwise within five (5) business days of becoming aware that the Company is, or is reasonably likely to be, a USRPHC. At the Purchaser’s request from time to time while the Purchaser owns an equity interest in the Company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine as promptly as practicable whether it is a USRPHC and shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of its determination of its status as a USRPHC (and if in connection with a sale, shall, to the extent the Company determines that equity interests in the Company are not United States real property interests under Code Section 897, promptly provide to the Purchaser a statement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(1) where it determines the interest being sold is not a United States real property interest within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code).

(b) Tax Treatment. The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree not to treat the Series B Preferred Stock as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-5 for U.S. federal income Tax and withholding Tax purposes, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall take any position with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock for U.S. federal income Tax and withholding Tax purposes that is inconsistent with such treatment.

(c) Dividends. The Company and the Purchaser hereby agree that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to include in income any dividend income for U.S. federal income Tax purposes by reason of the application of Section 305 of the Code to the Series B Preferred Stock except to the extent of the amount of any dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock that are declared and paid in cash. The Company and Purchaser agree to take no positions or actions inconsistent with such intended treatment (including on any IRS Form 1099), unless otherwise required by a change in applicable law after the date hereof or pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(d) Redemptions. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser to structure any redemption or repurchase of Series B Preferred Stock permitted under this Certificate of Designation to be treated as a payment in exchange for stock pursuant to Section 302 of the Code.

(e) Liquidations, etc. For so long as Purchaser owns equity or securities convertible into equity in the Company, the Company shall not be liquidated, merged, or converted into a limited liability company, or otherwise enter into a transaction, in each case if the Company ceases to exist as an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state and local Tax purposes, where applicable), without Purchaser’s prior written approval.

(f) Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay any and all transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and other similar Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the issuance and purchase of Purchased Shares.

24

(g) Form W-9. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 certifying that the Purchaser is a U.S. person and with the effect that the Company can make dividend payments to the Purchaser (or its nominee) without deduction or withholding for any U.S. federal withholding taxes. The Purchaser agrees that if the information provided on any IRS Form W-9 previously delivered by the Purchaser changes, or if a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the information on such IRS Form W-9 obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, the Purchaser shall promptly inform the Company and deliver promptly an updated IRS Form W-9.

(h) Withholding. The Company shall withhold such amounts as it is required to withhold pursuant to applicable law with respect to distributions or payments relating to the Series B Preferred Stock, and amounts so withheld in accordance with this Section 4.8(h) shall be treated as having been paid to the party with respect to which such withholding is made. The Company shall remit and pay the amounts so withheld to the applicable governmental authorities in accordance with applicable law. If the Company determines that any amounts are so required to be deducted and withheld from any such payment made to a holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date the applicable payment is scheduled to be made, the Company shall provide such holder of Series B Preferred Stock with (i) written notice of such intent to deduct and withhold, which notice shall include the basis for the withholding and an estimate of the amount proposed to be deducted and withheld, and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock to reduce or eliminate amounts required to be withheld in accordance with applicable law.

Section 4.9 NYSE Listing. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall apply to cause the Conversion Shares and any Dividend Shares to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of all of the Conversion Shares and any Dividend Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of the Conversion Shares and any Dividend Shares. In accordance with the Certificate of Designation, the Company shall cause a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the total number of Conversion Shares to be authorized, reserved, and kept available at all times, free and clear of preemptive rights and all liens, to allow for full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof. From time to time following the Closing Date, the Company shall cause the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and any shares of Common Stock to be issued as payment of dividends in kind on the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to be approved for listing on the NYSE. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying the obligations under this Section 4.9.

Section 4.10 State Securities Laws. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) obtain all necessary permits and qualifications, if any, or secure an exemption therefrom, required by any state or country prior to the offer and sale of Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock and (b) cause such authorization, approval, permit or qualification to be effective as of the Closing and as of any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock.

25

Section 4.11 Section 16 Matters. If the Company becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction or otherwise or if there is any event or circumstance that may result in the Purchaser and each transferee of the Purchaser to whom shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares are transferred (the “Purchaser Parties”), their respective Affiliates or the Series B Director being deemed to have made a disposition or acquisition of the Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and if the Series B Director is serving on the Board of Directors at such time or has served on the Board of Directors during the preceding six (6) months (a) the Board of Directors or a committee thereof composed solely of two or more “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act will pre-approve such acquisition or disposition of the Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares for the express purpose of exempting the Purchaser Parties’, their respective Affiliates’ and the Series B Director’s interests (for the Purchaser Parties or their respective Affiliates, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be “directors by deputization”) in such transaction from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder and (b) if the transaction involves (i) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and the Common Stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for equity securities of a different issuer, (ii) a potential acquisition or deemed acquisition, or disposition or deemed disposition, by the Purchaser Parties, their respective Affiliates, or the Series B Director of equity securities of such other issuer or derivatives thereof and (iii) an Affiliate or other designee of the Purchaser Parties or their respective Affiliates will serve on the board of directors (or its equivalent) of such other issuer pursuant to the terms of an agreement to which the Company is a party (or if the Purchaser Parties notify the Company of such service a reasonable time in advance of the closing of such transactions), then if the Company requires that the other issuer pre-approve any acquisition of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of any director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder, the Company shall require that such other issuer pre-approve any such acquisitions of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of the Purchaser Parties’, their respective Affiliates’ and the Series B Director (for the Purchaser Parties or their respective Affiliates, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be “directors by deputization” of such other issuer) in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder.

Section 4.12 Negative Covenants Except as contemplated by the Carrier Purchase Agreement, from the date of this Agreement through the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use their reasonable best efforts to operate their businesses in the ordinary course, and, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to:

(a) take any action that would require the consent of the Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) pursuant to Section 10(b)(i) of the Certificate of Designation;

(c) establish a record date for, declare, set aside for payment or pay any dividend on, or make any other distribution in respect of, any shares of its capital stock or other equity or voting interests; provided, however that nothing in this Section 4.12(c) shall prohibit establishing a record date for, declaring, setting aside for payment or paying the Annual Dividend Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) on any shares of its Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation;

(d) split, combine, subdivide, recapitalize, reclassify or make like change to any shares of its capital stock or other equity or voting interests;

(f) issue capital stock of the Company that would cause require the Company to obtain approval of its stockholders under the continued listing requirements of the NYSE;

(g) make any material change in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ financial accounting principles, except as required by changes in GAAP (or any interpretation thereof) or in applicable law; or

(h) agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 4.13 Sponsor.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit the activities of The Blackstone Group Inc. (the “Sponsor”) or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Group”), other than the Purchaser Parties, in their businesses distinct from the corporate private equity business of Sponsor (the “Excluded Sponsor Parties”), so long as (i) no such Excluded Sponsor Party or any of its Representatives is acting on behalf of or at the direction of any Purchaser Party with respect to any matter that otherwise would violate any term or provision of this Agreement and (ii) no Confidential Information is made directly available to any Excluded Sponsor Party or any of its Representatives who are not involved in the corporate private equity business of Sponsor by or on behalf of any Purchaser Party or any of their Representatives, except with respect to any such Representative who is (x) compliance personnel for compliance purposes and (y) non-compliance personnel of Sponsor who are directors or officers of, or function in a similar oversight role at, such Affiliate as long as Confidential Information is not otherwise disclosed to such Affiliate.

27

(b) The Purchaser Parties and the Company hereby agree, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement or at law or in equity, that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, when the Purchaser Parties take any action under this Agreement to give or withhold their consent, the Purchaser Parties shall have no duty (fiduciary or other) to consider the interests of the Company or the other stockholders of the Company and may act exclusively in their own interest; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way affect the obligations of the parties hereto to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not limit or otherwise affect the fiduciary duties of the Series B Director.

(c) The Purchaser Parties and the Company hereby agree and acknowledge that, subject to applicable law, the Series B Director may share Confidential Information with the Purchaser Parties.

Section 4.15 Corporate Actions.

(a) If any occurrence since the date of this Agreement until the Closing would have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) pursuant to the Certificate of Designation if the Series B Preferred Stock had been issued and outstanding since the date of this Agreement, the Company shall adjust the Conversion Price, effective as of the Closing, in the same manner as would have been required by the Certificate of Designation if the Series B Preferred Stock had been issued and outstanding since the date of this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall not adopt, approve or agree to adopt a stockholder rights agreement, “poison pill” or similar anti-takeover agreement or plan that is applicable to the Purchaser Parties unless the Company has excluded the Purchaser Parties from the definition of “acquiring person” (or such similar term) as such term is defined in such anti-takeover agreement.

Section 4.16 Carrier Acquisition. At and prior to Closing, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Carrier Purchase Agreement in a manner that would be materially adverse to the Purchaser. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that it shall be materially adverse to Purchaser to make any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification to the Carrier Purchase Agreement to (a) increase the Base Purchase Price (as defined in the Carrier Purchase Agreement), (b) modify or waive the conditions to the Closing (as defined in the Carrier Purchase Agreement) set forth in Article VIII of the Carrier Purchase Agreement or (c) change in a manner adverse to the Company the scope or nature of the assets or liabilities to be transferred, assumed or retained in connection with the Acquisition. Upon the Purchaser’s request to the Company in writing, the Company shall reasonably inform the Purchaser regarding the transactions contemplated by the Carrier Acquisition Agreement, including the status thereof, the expected timing of the Closing, the anticipated date of the Closing and any developments that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to

28

materially delay the Closing or make the Closing unlikely to occur. The Company will deliver or otherwise make available to the Purchaser (A) copies of the executed Carrier Purchase Agreement (including any amendments, modifications, waivers or other changes thereto), (B) financial statements for the business being acquired and (C) any other information or diligence documents that the Purchaser reasonably requests. The Company shall make its and its Subsidiaries’ relevant personnel and Representatives involved in the Acquisition available to the Purchaser and their Representatives upon reasonable request and during normal business hours to discuss the Acquisition.

Section 4.17 Corporate Opportunities. In recognition and anticipation that (1) certain directors, principals, officers, employees or other representatives of the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Company, (2) the Purchaser Parties and their Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or proposes to engage, and (3) members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries (the “Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage or proposes to engage, the provisions of this Section 4.17 are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Purchaser Parties, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith. None of (1) the Purchaser Parties or any of their Affiliates, or (2) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (the Persons (as defined below) identified in (1) and (2) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from, directly or indirectly, (A) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (B) otherwise competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any of its Affiliates. Subject to the following sentence, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to

29

the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of this Company) if such opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and this section shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Agreement or anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Company if it is a business opportunity that (1) the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (2) from its nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company, or (3) is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Section 4.17.

Section 4.18 Financing Cooperation. If requested by the Purchaser Parties, the Company will provide the following cooperation in connection with the Purchaser Parties obtaining any Qualifying Loan following the Closing: (i) using good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an issuer agreement (an “Issuer Agreement”) with each lender in customary form in connection with such transactions (which agreement may include, without limitation, agreements and obligations of the Company relating to procedures and specified time periods for effecting Transfers or conversions upon foreclosure, agreements to not intentionally hinder or delay exercises of remedies on foreclosure, acknowledgments regarding corporate policy, if applicable, and certain acknowledgments regarding securities law status of the pledge arrangements) and subject to the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), with such changes thereto as are requested by such lender and customary for similar financings, (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to (A) remove any restrictive legends on certificates representing pledged Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares and depositing such pledged Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares in book entry form on the books of The Depository Trust Company, when eligible to do so (for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock will not be considered so eligible prior to the date the lender has a valid one year “holding period” (as defined in Rule 144) in such shares of Common Stock), (B) without limiting the generality of clause (A), if such Series B Preferred Stock is eligible for resale under Rule 144A, depositing such pledged Series B Preferred Stock in book entry form on the books of The Depository Trust Company or other depository with customary Rule 144A restrictive legends in lieu of the legends specified in Section 4.2 above, (iii) if so requested by such lender or counterparty, as applicable and (C) causing the Company’s transfer agent to transfer Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares, as applicable, in connection with any such Transfer, (x) re-issuing the pledged Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares in certificated form in the name of a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates or (y) re-registering the pledged Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares in certificated form or in book-entry form, as so requested, in the name of the relevant lender, counterparty, custodian or similar party to a Qualifying Loan, with respect to Qualifying Loans solely as securities intermediary and only to the extent a Purchaser Party or its Affiliates continues to beneficially own such pledged Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares, (iv) entering into customary triparty agreements with each lender and the Purchaser Parties relating to the delivery of the Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or

30

Dividend Shares to the relevant lender for crediting to the relevant collateral accounts upon funding of the loan and payment of the purchase price including a right for such lender as a third party beneficiary of the Company’s obligations hereunder to issue the Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares or Dividend Shares upon payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (v) such other cooperation and assistance as the Purchaser Parties may reasonably request that will not unreasonably disrupt the operation of the Company’s business, in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), subject to receipt of customary legal opinions and certificates and the satisfaction of any relevant requirements of the Company’s transfer agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the Company’s obligation to deliver an Issuer Agreement is conditioned on (i) the relevant Purchaser Party certifying to the Company in writing that (A) the loan agreement with respect to which the Issuer Agreement is being delivered constitutes a Qualifying Loan being entered into in accordance with this Agreement, such Purchaser Party has pledged Common Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock or the underlying shares of Common Stock as collateral to the lenders under such Qualifying Loan and that the execution of such Qualifying Loan and the terms thereof do not violate the terms of this Agreement, (B) to the extent applicable, whether the registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are being assigned to the lenders under that Qualifying Loan and (C) such Purchaser Party acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be relying on such certificate when entering into the Issuer Agreement and any inaccuracy in such certificate will be deemed a breach of this Agreement and (ii) the Issuer Agreement containing customary representations, warranties and covenants for the benefit of the Company from the relevant Purchaser Party and the lender reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, that the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, keep confidential the terms and the existence of any such loan agreement and related documents in connection with a Qualifying Loan (and any amendments or supplements thereto), other than in the case that the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives are requested or required by applicable law, regulation, judgment, stock exchange rule or other applicable judicial or governmental process (including by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose such information, in each of which instances the Company, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, as the case may be, shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide notice to the Purchaser Parties sufficiently in advance of any such disclosure so that the Purchaser Parties will have a reasonable opportunity to timely seek to limit, condition or quash such disclosure (in which case the Company shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Purchaser Parties in this respect). The Purchaser Parties acknowledge and agree that the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement are solely for the benefit of the applicable lenders party thereto and that in any dispute between the Company and the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement the Purchaser Parties shall not be entitled to use the statements and agreements of the Company in an Issuer Agreement against the Company.

ARTICLE VI

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 6.1 Generally. So long as the Purchaser owns beneficially and of record at least 50% of the Purchased Shares, if the Company makes any non-public offering of any capital stock of, other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company or any securities that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) capital stock of, other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company (collectively “Preemptive Securities”), including, for the purposes of this Article VI, warrants, options or other such rights (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (1) issuances of any securities to directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company, (2) issuances of any securities pursuant to an employee stock option plan, management incentive plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan or stock ownership plan or similar benefit plan, program or agreement, (3) issuances made as consideration for any acquisition (by sale, merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or otherwise) by the Company of equity in, or assets of, another Person, business unit, division or business, (4) issuances of any securities issued as a result of a stock split, stock dividend (including for the avoidance of doubt any dividend paid on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock), spin-off, reclassification or reorganization or similar event, (5) securities issued pursuant to the conversion, exercise or exchange of Series B Preferred Stock issued to the Purchaser and (6) shares of a Subsidiary of the Company issued to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company), the Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company its Preemptive Rights Portion of such New Securities for the same price and on the same terms as that offered to the other purchasers of such New Securities; provided, that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to acquire any New Securities pursuant to this Article VI to

34

the extent the issuance of such New Securities to the Purchaser would require approval of the stockholders of the Company as a result of the Purchaser status, if applicable, as an Affiliate of the Company or pursuant to the rules and listing standards of NYSE until the Company obtains such approval, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval as promptly as practicable.

Section 6.2 Calculation of Preemptive Rights Portion. Subject to the foregoing proviso in Section 6.1, the amount of New Securities that each Purchaser shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (1) the total number of such offered shares of New Securities by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and shares of Common Stock (in the aggregate and on an as converted basis) held by the Purchaser, as of such date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (on an as converted basis) outstanding as of such date (the “Preemptive Rights Portion”).

Section 6.3 Preemptive Rights Notices and Procedures. If the Company proposes to offer New Securities in a non-public offering, it shall give the Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the anticipated price (or range of anticipated prices), anticipated amount of New Securities and other material terms and timing upon which the Company proposes to offer the same at least seven (7) Business Days prior to such issuance (provided that, to the extent the terms of such offering cannot reasonably be provided seven (7) Business Days prior to such issuance, notice of such terms may be given as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event prior to such issuance). The Company may provide such notice to the Purchaser on a confidential basis prior to public disclosure of such offering. The Purchaser may notify the Company in writing at any time on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of such issuance (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the date of such issuance, at any time prior to such issuance) whether the Purchaser will exercise such preemptive rights and as to the amount of New Securities the Purchaser desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 6.2. Such notice to the Company shall constitute a binding commitment by the Purchaser to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. Subject to receipt of the requisite notice of such issuance by the Company, the failure of a Purchaser to respond prior to the time a response is required pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Purchaser’s purchase rights under this Article VI only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.

Section 6.4 Purchase of New Securities. The Purchaser shall purchase the New Securities that it has elected to purchase under this Article VI concurrently with the related issuance of such New Securities by the Company (subject to the receipt of any required approvals); provided, that if such related issuance is prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the date on which the Purchaser has notified the Company that it has elected to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Article VI, then the Purchaser shall purchase such New Securities within twenty (20) Business Days following the date of the related issuance. If the proposed issuance by the Company of securities which gave rise to the exercise by the Purchaser of its preemptive rights pursuant to this Article VI shall be terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any New Securities, then the purchase rights of the Purchaser pursuant to this Article VI shall also terminate as to such proposed issuance by the Company (but not any subsequent or future issuance), and any funds in respect thereof paid to the Company by the Purchaser in respect thereof shall be promptly refunded in full.

35

Section 6.5 Consideration Other than Cash. In the case of the offering of securities for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the offering of such securities.

Section 6.6 Miscellaneous. The election by the Purchaser to not exercise its subscription rights under this Article VI in any one instance shall not affect its rights as to any subsequent proposed issuance. The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the Purchaser’s rights pursuant to this Article VI, including securing any required approvals or consents.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Survival. Except in the case of fraud, the representations and warranties of the parties contained in Article II and Article III hereof shall not survive and shall terminate automatically as of the Closing, and there shall be no liability in respect thereof, whether such liability has accrued prior to or after the Closing, on the part of any party or any of their respective Representatives. All other covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

Section 7.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by a party and delivered to the other parties. Copies of executed counterparts of signature pages to this Agreement may be transmitted by PDF (portable document format) or facsimile and such PDFs or facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature pages had been delivered.

Section 7.3 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and, if applicable, in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware in which appeal from the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may validly be taken under the laws of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over such dispute, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (each a “Chosen Court” and collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), and the parties hereto

36

(c) Such Persons further covenant not to bring a proceeding with respect to the Applicable Matters (or that could affect any Applicable Matter) other than in such Chosen Court and not to challenge or enforce in another jurisdiction a judgment of such Chosen Court.

(d) Process in any such proceeding may be served on any Person with respect to such Applicable Matters anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such Chosen Court. Without limiting the foregoing, each such Person agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 7.6 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Person.

(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 7.4 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain the entire agreement by and among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior negotiations, writings and understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may be assigned (a) in connection with a Transfer, (b) by Purchaser, in whole or in part to any Affiliate of the Sponsor (provided that Purchaser shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder in connection with such an assignment) and (c) as collateral security to any lender to the Purchaser; provided that the rights and obligations of the Purchaser Parties under Sections 4.1, 4.4 and 4.11 shall not be assignable other than to a member of the Sponsor Group that becomes a Purchaser Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. No other assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 7.8 Headings. The Section, Article and other headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by each party hereto. Any party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by any other party or parties hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party or parties hereto to be performed or complied with. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

Section 7.10 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.

(a) For the purposes hereof: (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (ii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including all of the Schedules and Exhibits) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule references are to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits, and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iii) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified; and (iv) the word “or”, “any” or “either” shall not be exclusive. References to a Person are also to its permitted assigns and successors. When calculating the period of time between which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded (and unless, otherwise required by applicable law, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day).

39

(b) With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration will be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto.

Section 7.11 Severability. Any provision hereof that is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof, provided, however, that the parties will attempt in good faith to reform this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intent of any such ineffective provision for the purpose of carrying out such intent.

Section 7.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur and that a party may not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party shall without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages or posting a bond be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms, provisions and covenants contained therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company to specifically enforce the obligation of the Purchaser to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and the purchase of the Purchased Shares to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 7.13 Public Announcement. Subject to each party’s disclosure obligations imposed by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which its securities are listed, each of the parties hereto will cooperate with each other in the development and distribution of all news releases and other public information disclosures with respect to this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser will make any such news release or public disclosure without first consulting with the other, and, in each case, also receiving the other’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each party shall coordinate with the party whose consent is required with respect to any such news release or public disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.13 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by the Company or a Purchaser (a) that is consistent with prior disclosure and does not contain any information relating to the transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is made to its auditors, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, limited partners or other transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, in no event shall either this Section 7.13 or any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement limit disclosure by any Purchaser Party and their respective Affiliates of ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to its existing or prospective direct or indirect general and limited partners, equityholders, financing sources, members, managers and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, including disclosing information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on their websites in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

40

Section 7.14 Purchaser Representative. Each Purchaser Party hereby consents to and authorizes the appointment of BTO Juno Holdings L.P. as the Purchaser Representative hereunder (the “Purchaser Representative”) and as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Purchaser Party, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, and for and in such Purchaser Party’s name, place and stead, with full power and authority and as fully and to the same extent as such Purchaser Party can, might or could do under applicable law, of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted by, or with respect to, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including (a) the exercise of the power and authority granted to the Purchaser Representative under this Agreement, including to agree to execute any consents under this Agreement, and (b) to take all actions necessary in the judgment of the Purchaser Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest, given primarily for business and commercial purposes and shall survive and not be affected by any subsequent death, disability, incapacity, bankruptcy or liquidation of such Purchaser Party. Each Purchaser Party shall be bound by the actions taken by the Purchaser Representative exercising the rights granted to it by this Agreement, and the Company shall be entitled to rely on any such action or decision of the Purchaser Representative. If the Purchaser Representative shall resign or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Purchaser Parties shall appoint a new Purchaser Representative as soon as reasonably practicable by written consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser or Purchaser Parties that are successors or permitted assigns of the Purchaser by sending notice and a copy of the duly executed written consent appointing such new Purchaser Representative to the Company.

Section 7.15 Non-Recourse. Any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto (the “Contract Parties”) and then only with respect to the specific obligations of such party and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein or therein. No Person other than the Contract Parties, including no direct or indirect member, partner, stockholder, unitholder, Affiliate or Representative thereof, nor any member, partner, stockholder, unitholder, Affiliate or Representative of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or their respective negotiation, execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each of the Contract Parties hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such third Person.

Section 7.16 Further Assurances. From the date hereof until the Closing, without further consideration, the Company and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, appropriate or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and any and all other agreements or instruments executed and delivered to the Purchaser by the Company hereunder or thereunder, as applicable.

19

(iii) Transfers of Shares Subject to Redemption, Repurchase or Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, the Corporation, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any share of Convertible Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion.

(g) Exchange and Cancellation of Convertible Preferred Stock to Be Converted or to Be Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or a Redemption.

(i) Partial Conversions of Physical Certificates and Partial Repurchases of Physical Certificates Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or a Redemption. If fewer than all of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by a Physical Certificate (such Physical Certificate being referred to as the “old Physical Certificate” for purposes of this Section 4(g)(i)) are to be converted pursuant to Section 11 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or a Redemption, then, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Physical Certificate is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, the Corporation will cause such Physical Certificate to be exchanged, pursuant and subject to Section 4(f), for (1) one or more Physical Certificates that each evidence a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, evidence a total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by such old Physical Certificate that are not to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable, and deliver such Physical Certificate(s) to such Holder; and (2) a Physical Certificate evidencing a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by such old Physical Certificate that are to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable, which Physical Certificate will be converted or repurchased, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that the Physical Certificate referred to in this clause (2) need not be issued at any time after which such shares subject to such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, are deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 4(m).

(ii) Cancellation of Convertible Preferred Stock that Is Converted and Convertible Preferred Stock that Is Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or a Redemption. If shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by a Certificate (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 4(g)(i)) (such Certificate being referred to as the “old Certificate” for purposes of this Section 4(g)(ii)) are to be converted pursuant to Section 11 or repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or a Redemption, then, promptly after the later of the time such Convertible Preferred Stock is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 4(m) and the time such old Certificate is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, (1) such old Certificate will be cancelled pursuant to Section 4(k); and (2) in the case of a partial conversion or repurchase, the Corporation will issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 4(b), one or more Certificates that (x) each evidence a whole number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, evidence a total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by such old Certificate that are not to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 4(e).

20

(h) Status of Converted, Redeemed or Repurchased Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. If any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is converted, redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation, in any manner whatsoever, the share of Convertible Preferred Stock so acquired shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be retired and cancelled upon such acquisition, and shall not be reissued as a share of Convertible Preferred Stock. Any share of Convertible Preferred Stock so acquired shall, upon its retirement and cancellation, and upon the taking of any action required by applicable law, become an authorized but unissued share of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series and may be reissued a part of a new series of Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation or imposed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(i) Replacement Certificates. If a Holder of any Convertible Preferred Stock claims that the Certificate(s) evidencing such Convertible Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then the Corporation will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 4(a), a replacement Certificate evidencing such Convertible Preferred Stock upon surrender to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent of such destroyed Certificate, or upon delivery to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent of evidence of such loss, taking or destruction reasonably satisfactory to the Transfer Agent and the Corporation. In the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate evidencing Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation and the Transfer Agent may require the Holder or such Holder’s representative to provide the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such Certificate or the issuance of such new Certificate. Every replacement Certificate evidencing Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Section 4(i) will, upon such replacement, be deemed to be evidence of outstanding share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock, entitled to all of the benefits of this Certificate of Designation equally and ratably with all other shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(j) Registered Holders. Only the Holder of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock will have such powers (including voting powers), if any, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, as set forth in this Certificate of Designation as the owner of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock.

(k) Cancellation. The Corporation may at any time deliver Certificates evidencing Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will forward to the Transfer Agent each share of Convertible Preferred Stock duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Corporation will cause the Transfer Agent to promptly cancel all Certificates evidencing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures.

21

(l) Shares Held by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 4(g) and Section 4(m), in determining whether the Holders of the required number of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, shares of Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed not to be outstanding.

(m) Outstanding Shares.

(i) Generally. The shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those shares indicated as outstanding in the Register, excluding those shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that have theretofore been: (1) cancelled by the Transfer Agent or delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation in accordance with Section 4(k); (2) paid in full upon their conversion or upon their repurchase pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or upon their redemption pursuant to a Redemption in accordance with this Certificate of Designation; or (3) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 4(m).

(ii) Replaced Shares. If any Certificate evidencing any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is replaced pursuant to Section 4(i), then such share will cease to be outstanding at the time of such replacement, unless the Transfer Agent and the Corporation receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such share is held by a “bona fide purchaser” under applicable law.

(iii) Shares to Be Repurchased Pursuant to a Redemption. If, on a Redemption Date, the Paying Agent holds consideration in kind and amount that is sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price due on such date, then (unless there occurs a default in the payment of the Redemption Price): (1) the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding (without limiting the Corporation’s obligations pursuant to Section 6(c)); and (2) the rights of the Holders of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price as provided in Section 8 (and, if applicable, declared Dividends as provided in Section 6(c)).

(iv) Shares to Be Repurchased Pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change. If, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Paying Agent holds consideration in kind and amount that is sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price due on such date, then (unless there occurs a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price): (1) the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding (without limiting the Corporation’s obligations pursuant to Section 6(c)); and (2) the rights of the Holders of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price as provided in Section 9 (and, if applicable, declared Dividends as provided in Section 6(c)).

(v) Shares to Be Converted. If any Convertible Preferred Stock is to be converted, then, at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion (unless there occurs a default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Section 11 upon such conversion): (1) such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to cease to be outstanding (without limiting the Corporation’s obligations pursuant to Section 6(c)); and (2) the rights of the Holders of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive such Conversion Consideration as provided in Section 11 (and, if applicable, declared Dividends as provided in Section 6(c)).

22

(n) Repurchases by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of Section 4(k) and the next sentence, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries may, from time to time, repurchase Convertible Preferred Stock in open market purchases or in negotiated transactions without delivering prior notice to Holders. The Corporation will promptly deliver to the Transfer Agent for cancellation all Convertible Preferred Stock that the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries have purchased or otherwise acquired.

(o) Notations and Exchanges. Without limiting any rights of Holders pursuant to Section 10, if any amendment, supplement or waiver to the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation changes the powers (including voting powers), if any, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Corporation may, in its discretion, require the Holder of the Certificate evidencing such Convertible Preferred Stock to deliver such Certificate to the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Corporation on such Certificate and return such Certificate to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Corporation may, in exchange for such Convertible Preferred Stock, issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 4(a), a new Certificate evidencing such Convertible Preferred Stock that reflects the changed powers (including voting powers), if any, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Certificate evidencing any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4(o) will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 5. Ranking. The Convertible Preferred Stock will rank (a) senior to (i) Dividend Junior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Junior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (b) equally with (i) Dividend Parity Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Parity Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; and (c) junior to (i) Dividend Senior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Senior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 6. Dividends.

(a) Regular Dividends.

(i) Generally. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Dividend Senior Stock, and on parity with the holders of any Dividend Parity Stock, the Holders shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of assets legally available therefor, and payable in preference and priority to the declaration or payment of any dividends on any Dividend Junior Stock, cumulative dividends at a rate per annum equal to the Regular Dividend Rate on the

23

Liquidation Preference thereof (calculated in accordance with Section 6(a)(ii)), regardless of whether or not declared or assets are legally available for their payment (such dividends that accumulate on the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this sentence, “Regular Dividends”). Regular Dividends shall be declared and paid in either cash or, only to the extent the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied on the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date as determined by the Company, shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Board of Directors. Regular Dividends shall be paid on the Regular Dividend Payment Date to the Holders as of the relevant Regular Dividend Record Date and shall be allocated among the Holders pro rata based on the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by them on the relevant Regular Dividend Record Date. To the extent the Corporation elects to declare and pay any Regular Dividends in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the applicable Regular Dividend Record Date, deliver to each Holder a written notice (a “Stock Dividend Notice”) to that effect. If Regular Dividends are to be paid in shares of Common Stock, then each Holder shall be entitled to receive such number of whole shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the pro rata amount of Regular Dividends to which a holder is entitled by the Dividend Price (provided, however, that any fractional shares of Common Stock due pursuant to such calculation shall not be paid and instead the nearest lower whole number of shares of Common Stock shall be paid).

(ii) Computation of Regular Dividends. Regular Dividends will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Regular Dividends on each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will accrue on the Liquidation Preference of such share as of immediately before the preceding Regular Dividend Payment Date (or, if there is no preceding Regular Dividend Payment Date, on the Initial Issue Date of such share).

(b) Participating Dividends.

(i) Generally. Subject to the rights of the holders of any Dividend Senior Stock, on parity with the holders of any Dividend Parity Stock and subject to Section 6(b)(ii), no dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock (whether in cash, securities (including rights or options) or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid, respectively, on the Convertible Preferred Stock (such a dividend or distribution on the Convertible Preferred Stock, a “Participating Dividend,” and such corresponding dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, the “Common Stock Participating Dividend”), such that: (1) the Record Date and the payment date for such Participating Dividend occur on the same dates as the Record Date and payment date, respectively, for such Common Stock Participating Dividend; and (2) the kind and amount of consideration payable per share of Convertible Preferred Stock in such Participating Dividend is the same kind and amount of consideration that would be payable in the Common Stock Participating Dividend in respect of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable (determined in accordance with Section 11 but without regard to Section 11(h)) in respect of one (1) share of Convertible Preferred Stock if such share of Convertible Preferred Stock was converted as of a Conversion Date occurring immediately prior to such Record Date (subject to the same arrangements, if any, in such Common Stock Participating Dividend not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property, but with such arrangement applying separately to each Holder and computed based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder on such Record Date).

24

(ii) Common Stock Change Events. Section 6(b)(i) will not apply to, and no Participating Dividend will be required to be declared or paid on the Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 11(i) will apply.

(c) Treatment of Dividends Upon Redemption, Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or Conversion. If the Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Conversion Date with respect to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding the related Redemption, Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change or conversion, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Corporation’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared Dividend on such share.

Section 7. Rights Upon Liquidation, Dissolution Or Winding Up.

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

(i) the Liquidation Preference; and

(ii) the amount such Holder would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with an Optional Conversion assuming the Conversion Date of such conversion occurs on the date of such payment.

Upon payment of such amount in full on the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), Holders will have no rights to the Corporation’s remaining assets or funds, if any. If such assets or funds are insufficient to fully pay such amount on all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable in respect of all outstanding shares of Liquidation Parity Stock, if any, then, subject to the rights of any of the Corporation’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, such assets or funds will be distributed ratably on the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and Liquidation Parity Stock in proportion to the full respective distributions to which such shares would otherwise be entitled.

(b) Certain Business Combination Transactions Deemed Not to Be a Liquidation. For purposes of Section 7(a), the Corporation’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, or the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets (other than a sale, lease or other transfer in connection with the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to, another Person will not, in itself, constitute the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, even if, in connection therewith, the Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing.

25

Section 8. Right of the Corporation To Redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock.

(a) Right to Redeem On or After the Five Year Anniversary. Subject to the terms of this Section 8, the Corporation has the right, at its election, to redeem, subject to the right of the Holders to convert the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 11 prior to such redemption, all or any of the Convertible Preferred Stock, at any time, on a Redemption Date on or after the five (5) year anniversary of the Initial Issue Date (the “First Call Date”), for a cash purchase price equal to the Redemption Price (such redemption, together with the redemption referenced in this Section 8(a), the “Redemptions” and each, a “Redemption”).

(b) Redemption Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. The Corporation will not elect a Redemption, or otherwise send a Redemption Notice in respect of the Redemption of, any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8 unless: (i) the Corporation has sufficient funds legally available, and is permitted under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money, to fully pay the Redemption Price in respect of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock called for Redemption; and (ii) the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied on the Redemption Date as determined by the Company.

(c) Redemption Date. The Redemption Date for any Redemption will be a Business Day chosen by the Board of Directors that is no more than twenty (20), nor less than ten (10), calendar days after the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption.

(d) Redemption Price. The Redemption Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased pursuant to a Redemption is an amount in cash equal the product of (x) the Liquidation Preference of such share at the Close of Business on the Redemption Date for such Redemption, and (y) 105%.

(e) Redemption Notice. To elect the Redemption of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation must send to the Holder of such share a notice of such Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”), which Redemption Notice must state:

(i) that such share has been called for Redemption under this Certificate of Designation;

(ii) the Redemption Date for such Redemption;

(iii) the Redemption Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock;

(iv) if the Redemption Date is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, that such Dividend will be paid in accordance with Section 6(c);

26

(v) the name and address of the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent, as well as instructions whereby the Holder may surrender the Certificate evidencing such share to the Transfer Agent or Conversion Agent;

(vi) that the share of Convertible Preferred Stock called for Redemption may be converted pursuant to Section 11, at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Redemption Date (or, if the Corporation fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Corporation pays such Redemption Price in full); and

(vii) the Conversion Price in effect on the Redemption Notice Date for such Redemption.

(f) Payment of the Redemption Price. The Corporation will cause the Redemption Price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to Redemption to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Redemption Date.

Section 9. Right of Holders To Require the Corporation To Repurchase Convertible Preferred Stock Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) Fundamental Change Repurchase Right. Subject to the other terms of this Section 9, if a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder may, at its election, either (i) effective as of immediately prior to the Fundamental Change, convert all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 11 at the then-current Conversion Price or (ii) require the Corporation to repurchase (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) all, or any whole number of of shares that is less than all, of such Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that have not been converted pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change, out of funds legally available therefor, for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(b) Funds Legally Available for Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; Covenant Not to Take Certain Actions. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, then the Corporation shall: (1) pay the maximum amount of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price that can be paid out of funds legally available for payment, which payment will be made pro rata to each Holder based on the total number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder that were otherwise to be repurchased pursuant to such Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change; and (2) purchase any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock not purchased because of the foregoing limitations at the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price as soon as practicable after the Corporation is able to make such purchase out of funds legally available for the purchase of such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. The inability of the Corporation (or its successor) to make a purchase payment for any reason shall not relieve the Corporation (or its successor) from its obligation to effect any required purchase when, as and if permitted by applicable law. If the Corporation fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in full when due in accordance with this Section 9 in respect of some or all of the shares or Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the Corporation will pay

27

Dividends on such shares not repurchased at a Regular Dividend Rate of seven percent (7.0%) per annum until such shares are repurchased, payable quarterly in arrears, out of funds legally available, on each Dividend Payment Date, for the period from and including the first Dividend Payment Date (or the Initial Issue Date, as applicable) upon which the Corporation fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in full when due in accordance with this Section 9 through but not including the latest of the day upon which the Corporation pays the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in full in accordance with this Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Holder exercises a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right pursuant to this Section 9 at a time when the Corporation is restricted or prohibited (contractually or otherwise) from repurchasing some or all of the Convertible Preferred Stock subject to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite consents to remove or obtain an exception or waiver to such restrictions or prohibition. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to such Holder under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 9. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation will not voluntarily take any action, or voluntarily engage in any transaction, that would result in a Fundamental Change unless the Corporation in good faith believes that it will have sufficient funds legally available to fully pay the maximum aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price that would be payable in respect of such Fundamental Change on all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(c) Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for any Fundamental Change will be a Business Day chosen by the Board of Directors that is no more than thirty (30), nor less than twenty (20), Business Days after the date the Corporation sends the related Final Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 9(f).

(d) Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased upon a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change following a Fundamental Change is an amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference of such share at the Close of Business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change, plus the Make-Whole Amount of such share as of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (ii) the amount that such Holders would have received had such Holders, immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, converted such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 11(a), without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility contained in Section 11(h).

(e) Initial Fundamental Change Notice. On or before the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to the date on which the Corporation anticipates consummating a Fundamental Change (or, if later, promptly after the Corporation discovers that a Fundamental Change may occur), a written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Corporation, which notice shall contain the date on which the Fundamental Change is anticipated to be effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Schedule TO or other schedule, form or report disclosing a Fundamental Change was filed) (the “Initial Fundamental Change Notice”). No later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation anticipates consummating the Fundamental Change as set forth in the Initial Fundamental Change Notice (or, if the Fundamental Change has already occurred as provided in the Initial Fundamental Change Notice, promptly, but no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following receipt thereof), any Holder that desires to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 9(a) shall notify the Corporation in writing thereof and shall specify (x) whether such Holder is electing to exercise its rights pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 9(a) and (y) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock subject thereto.

28

(f) Final Fundamental Change Notice. If a Holder elects to exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii), on or before the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Corporation will send to each Holder a notice of such Fundamental Change (a “Final Fundamental Change Notice”). Such Final Fundamental Change Notice must state:

(i) briefly, the events causing such Fundamental Change;

(ii) the effective date of such Fundamental Change;

(iii) the procedures that a Holder must follow to require the Corporation to repurchase its Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 9, including the deadline for exercising the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the procedures for submitting and withdrawing a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, including reasonable detail of the calculation thereof;

(vi) if the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after a Record Date for a declared Dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, that such Dividend will be paid in accordance with Section 6(c);

(vii) the name and address of the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent;

(viii) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such Final Fundamental Change Notice and a description and quantification of any adjustments to the Conversion Price that may result from such Fundamental Change;

(ix) that Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted pursuant to Section 11 at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, if the Corporation fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price due on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in full, at any time until such time as the Corporation pays such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in full);

(x) that shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been duly tendered and not duly withdrawn must be delivered to the Paying Agent for the Holder thereof to be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; and

29

(xi) that shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice that has been duly tendered may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with this Certificate of Designation.

(g) Procedures to Exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

(i) Delivery of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to Be Repurchased. To exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right for any share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock following a Fundamental Change, the Holder thereof must deliver to the Paying Agent:

(1) before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or such later time as may be required by applicable law), a duly completed, written Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to such share(s); and

(2) such share(s), duly endorsed for transfer (to the extent such share(s) are evidenced by one or more Physical Certificates).

(ii) Contents of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notices. Each Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to any share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock must state:

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

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

(3) that such Holder is exercising its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right with respect to such share(s).

(iii) Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Holder that has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to any share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock may withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Such withdrawal notice must state:

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

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

(3) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, that remain subject to such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which must be a whole number.

30

If any Holder delivers to the Paying Agent any such withdrawal notice withdrawing any share(s) of Convertible Preferred Stock from any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice previously delivered to the Paying Agent, and such share(s) have been surrendered to the Paying Agent, then such share(s) will be returned to the Holder thereof.

(h) Payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to Section 9(b), the Corporation will cause the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change to be paid to the Holder thereof on or before the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, if later in the case such share is evidenced by a Physical Certificate, the date (x) the Physical Certificate evidencing such share is delivered to the Paying Agent).

(i) Third Party May Conduct Repurchase Offer In Lieu of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, the Corporation will be deemed to satisfy its obligations under this Section 9 if one or more third parties conduct any Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change and related offer to repurchase Convertible Preferred Stock otherwise required by this Section 9 in a manner that would have satisfied the requirements of this Section 9 if conducted directly by the Corporation.

(j) Fundamental Change Agreements. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Fundamental Change unless (i) such agreement provides for, or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable), the exercise by the Holders of their Fundamental Change Repurchase Right in a manner that is consistent with, and gives effect to, this Section 9 and (ii) the acquiring or surviving Person in such Fundamental Change represents and covenants, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors acting in good faith, that at the closing of such Fundamental Change that such Person shall have sufficient funds (which may include, without limitation, cash and cash equivalents on the Corporation’s balance sheet, the proceeds of any debt or equity financing, available lines of credit or uncalled capital commitments) to consummate such Fundamental Change and the payment the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that have not been converted into Common Stock prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date pursuant to this Section 9 or Section 11, as applicable.

Section 10. Voting Rights.

(a) Right to Vote with Holders of Common Stock on an As-Converted Basis. Except as provided by this Certificate of Designation or applicable law, each holder of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, shall be entitled to vote the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Convertible Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to Section 11(b), without regard to any of the limitations on convertibility contained in Section 11(h), on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote.

(b) Voting and Consent Rights with Respect to Specified Matters.

(i) Generally. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 10(a), while any share of the Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without, the

31

affirmative vote or consent of the Majority Holders, voting separately as a single class, take any of the following actions:

(1) any amendment, modification or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation in a manner that would alter or change the powers (including voting powers), if any, or the preferences or relative, participating, option, special or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any of the Convertible Preferred Stock (other than an amendment, modification or repeal permitted by Section 10(a)(ii));

(2) any increase or decrease of the authorized number of Convertible Preferred Stock;

(3) any issuances by the Corporation of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock;

(4) create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of stock of the Corporation having preferences or relative, participating, option, special or other rights senior to or on parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock;

(5) any amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designation or the Bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the Convertible Preferred Stock;

(6) any action to deregister the Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or delist such Common Stock from a National Securities Exchange;

(7) [reserved]; or

(8) enter into a transaction with an Affiliate of the Corporation other than on terms no less favorable to the Corporation than would be obtained in an arms’ length transaction with a bona fide third party, as determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable judgment.

In addition, any action that would adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Convertible Preferred Stock in a manner disproportionate to the other Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall require the consent of such affected Holder. No consideration (including any modification of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Certificate of Designation or related transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of holders of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. For clarification purposes, this provision is intended for the Corporation to treat all Holders as a single class and shall not in any way be construed as such Holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Convertible Preferred Stock or otherwise.

32

(ii) Certain Amendments Permitted Without Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10(a)(i)(1), the Corporation may amend, modify or repeal any of provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designation or the Bylaws without the vote or consent of any Holder to amend or correct the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designation or the Bylaws to cure any ambiguity or correct any omission, defect or inconsistency.

(c) Procedures for Voting and Consents.

(i) Rules and Procedures Governing Votes and Consents. If any vote or consent of the Holders, voting separately as a single class, will be held or solicited, including at an annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders, then: (1) the Board of Directors will adopt customary rules and procedures at its discretion to govern such vote or consent, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10; and (2) such rules and procedures may include fixing a record date to determine the Holders that are entitled to vote or provide consent, as applicable, rules governing the solicitation and use of proxies or written consents and customary procedures for the nomination by Holders, of directors for election.

(ii) Written Consent in Lieu of Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Holders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered agent in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent of the Holders shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those Holders who have not consent and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that consents signed by a sufficient number of Holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

Section 11. Conversion.

(a) Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion or an Optional Conversion.

(b) Conversion at the Option of the Holders.

(i) Conversion Right; When Shares May Be Submitted for Optional Conversion. Holders will have the right to submit all, or any whole number of shares that is less than all, of their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to an Optional Conversion at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation:

33

(1) if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly delivered pursuant to Section 9(g)(i) with respect to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock, then such share may not be submitted for Optional Conversion after the Business Day prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Change, except to the extent (A) such share is not subject to such notice, (B) such notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 9(g)(iii), or (C) the Corporation fails to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such share in accordance with this Certificate of Designation;

(2) no Convertible Preferred Stock may be submitted for Optional Conversion to the extent limited by Section 11(h);

(3) shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are called for Redemption may not be submitted for Optional Conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Redemption Date (or, if the Corporation fails to pay the Redemption Price due on such Redemption Date in full, at any time until such time as the Corporation pays such Redemption Price in full); and

(4) shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that are subject to Mandatory Conversion may not be submitted for Optional Conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Mandatory Conversion Date.

(ii) Conversions of Fractional Shares Not Permitted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, in no event will any Holder be entitled to convert a number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that is not a whole number.

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

(i) Mandatory Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of this Section 11, the Corporation has the right (the “Mandatory Conversion Right”), exercisable at its election, to designate any Business Day as a Conversion Date for the conversion (such a conversion, a “Mandatory Conversion”) of all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, but only if the average of the Daily VWAP for fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days, including, the Trading Day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion, exceeds one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Conversion Price.

(ii) Mandatory Conversion Prohibited in Certain Circumstances. The Corporation will not exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right, or otherwise send a Mandatory Conversion Notice, with respect to any Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 11(c) unless the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied with respect to the Mandatory Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11(c), the Corporation’s exercise of its Mandatory Conversion Right, and any related Mandatory Conversion Notice, will not apply to any share of Convertible Preferred Stock as to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been duly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section 8(g). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11(c), the Corporation cannot exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right with respect to any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent limited by Section 11(h).

34

(iii) Mandatory Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date for any Mandatory Conversion will be a Business Day of the Corporation’s choosing that is no more than thirty (30), nor less than ten (10), Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion.

(iv) Mandatory Conversion Notice. To exercise its Mandatory Conversion Right with respect to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation must send to the Holders a written notice of such exercise (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”).

(v) Such Mandatory Conversion Notice must state:

(1) that the Corporation has exercised its Mandatory Conversion Right to cause the Mandatory Conversion of the shares of Convertible Preferred under this Certificate of Designation;

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

(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, as well as instructions whereby the Holder may surrender such share to the Transfer Agent or Conversion Agent;

(4) that shares of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to Mandatory Conversion may be converted earlier at the option of the Holders thereof pursuant to an Optional Conversion at any time before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the Mandatory Conversion Date; and

(5) the Conversion Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date for such Mandatory Conversion), the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder upon conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder and, if applicable, the amount of accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends, whether or not declared, in respect of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(d) Conversion Procedures.

(i) Mandatory Conversion. If the Corporation duly exercises, in accordance with Section 11(c), its Mandatory Conversion Right with respect to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, then: (1) the Mandatory Conversion of such share will occur automatically as of the Close of Business on the related Mandatory Conversion Date and without the need for any action on the part of the Holder(s) thereof; and (2) the shares of Common Stock into which shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have be converted in such Mandatory Conversion and any cash payable in lieu of fractions of a share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 11(e)(ii) will be registered in the name of the Holder(s) of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Close of Business on the related Mandatory Conversion Date.

35

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

(1) Generally. To convert any share of Convertible Preferred Stock evidenced by a Certificate pursuant to an Optional Conversion, the Holder of such share must: (w) complete, sign (by manual, facsimile or electronic signature) and deliver to the Conversion Agent an Optional Conversion Notice (at which time, in the case such Certificate is an Electronic Certificate, such Optional Conversion will become irrevocable); (x) if such Certificate is a Physical Certificate, deliver such Physical Certificate to the Conversion Agent (at which time such Optional Conversion will become irrevocable); (y) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Corporation or the Conversion Agent may require; and (z) if applicable, pay any documentary or other taxes that are required to be paid by the Corporation as a result of a Holder requesting that shares be registered in a name other than such Holders’ name as described in Section 13.

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

(iii) Treatment of Accumulated Dividends upon Conversion.

(1) No Adjustments for Accumulated Regular Dividends. Without limiting the operation of Section 11(c)(i), the Conversion Price will not be adjusted to account for any accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock being converted.

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

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

(e) Settlement upon Conversion.

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 11(e)(ii), Section 11(h) and Section 14(b), the consideration due upon settlement of the conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will consist of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the Liquidation Preference for such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock subject to conversion by (II) the Conversion Price, in each case, as of immediately before the Close of Business on such Conversion Date; plus, in the event of a Mandatory Conversion occurring within twelve months following the Initial Issue Date, an amount in cash equal to the unpaid Regular Dividends for the period from the Mandatory Conversion Date to the first anniversary of the Initial Issue Date.

36

(ii) Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Common Stock. Subject to Section 15(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will, to the extent it is legally able to do so and permitted under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money, pay cash based on the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

(iii) Delivery of Conversion Consideration. Except as provided in Sections 11(f)(i)(3)(B), 11(f)(i)(5) and 11(i), the Corporation will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(f) Conversion Price Adjustments.

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

(1) Stock Splits and Combinations. If the effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 11(i) will apply), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

37

If any stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 11(f)(i)(1) is announced, but not made, then the Conversion Price will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, or any Officer acting pursuant to authority conferred by the Board of Directors, determines not to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had such stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

(2) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:

where:

38

provided, however, that the Conversion Price will in no event be adjusted up pursuant to this Section 11(f)(i)(2), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 11(f)(i)(2) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If the Conversion Date for any share of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, the Corporation will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

(ii) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1) Certain Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, including the operation of Section 11(e)(i), the Corporation will not be required to adjust the Conversion Price except pursuant to Section 11(f)(i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, and without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation will not be required to adjust the Conversion Price on account of:

(A) any declaration and/or payment of dividends or other distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock;

(B) any declaration and/or payment of Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, whether in cash, in shares of Common Stock or rights in furtherance of any stockholder rights plan or agreement, “poison pill” or substantially similar anti-takeover agreement or plan.

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

(iv) Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 11(f)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time will: (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock; and (2) exclude shares of Common Stock held in the Corporation’s treasury (unless the Corporation pays any dividend or makes any distributions on shares of Common Stock held in its treasury).

39

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

(vi) Notice of Conversion Price Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11(f)(i), the Corporation will promptly send notice to the Holders containing: (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (3) the effective time of such adjustment.

(g) Voluntary Conversion Price Decreases.

(i) Generally. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Corporation, from time to time, may (but is not required to) decrease the Conversion Price by any amount if: (1) the Board of Directors determines that such decrease is in the Corporation’s best interest or that such decrease is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such decrease is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (3) such decrease is irrevocable during such period; provided, however, that any such decrease that would be reasonably expected to result in any income tax imposed on the Holders shall require the affirmative vote or consent of the Majority Holders.

(ii) Notice of Voluntary Decrease. If the Board of Directors determines to decrease the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11(g)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 11(g)(i), the Corporation will send notice to each Holder, the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent of such decrease to the Conversion Price, the amount thereof and the period during which such decrease will be in effect.

(h) Restriction on Conversions.

(i) Equity Treatment Limitation.

(1) Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, the Corporation will in no event be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock in settlement of the conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent, but only to the extent, the Corporation does not then have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes (the limitation set forth in this sentence, the “Equity Treatment Limitation,” and any shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable in excess of the number of such authorized and unissued shares, the “Deficit Shares”). If any Deficit Shares are withheld pursuant to the Equity Treatment Limitation and, at any time thereafter, some or all of such Deficit Shares could be delivered without violating the Equity Treatment Limitation, then: (A) the Corporation will deliver such Deficit Shares to the extent, but only to the extent, such delivery is permitted by the Equity Treatment Limitation; and (B) the provisions of this sentence will continue to apply until there are no remaining Deficit Shares.

40

(2) Share Reserve Provisions. On the Initial Issue Date, the Number of Reserved Shares is not less than the Initial Share Reserve Requirement. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available a Number of Reserved Shares to be no less than the Continuing Share Reserve Requirement at any time when any Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding (including, if applicable, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by seeking the approval of its stockholders to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock).

(3) Limitation on Certain Transactions. The Corporation will not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, effect any transaction that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11(f)(i) if the settlement of the conversion of all Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding (assuming such conversion occurred immediately after giving effect to such adjustment) would result in any Deficit Shares pursuant to the Equity Treatment Limitation.

(i) Effect of Common Stock Change Event.

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

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

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

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

(4) other substantially similar event,

and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation,

41

(A) from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event: (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in this Section 11 or in Section 12, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of Section 8 and Section 11(c), each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in such Sections (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (III) for purposes of the definitions of “Fundamental Change,” the terms “Common Stock” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and

(B) if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the Corporation will pay the cash due in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after the effective date of such Common Stock Change Event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date; and

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

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

(ii) Compliance Covenant. The Corporation will not become a party to any Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 11(i).

(iii) Execution of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Corporation and, if applicable, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Corporation) of such Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Corporation reasonably determines are necessary or desirable to: (1) provide for subsequent adjustments to the

42

Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11(f)(i) in a manner consistent with this Section 11(i); and (2) give effect to such other provisions, if any, as the Corporation reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 11(i)(i). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental instrument(s), if any, and such supplemental instrument(s) will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Corporation reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of Holders.

(iv) Notice of Common Stock Change Event. The Corporation will provide notice of each Common Stock Change Event to Holders as promptly as possible after the effective date of the Common Stock Change Event.

Section 12. Certain Provisions Relating To the Issuance of Common Stock.

(a) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Certificate of Designation requires the Corporation to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAPs, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate an adjustment to the Conversion Price), the Corporation will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11(f)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Price where effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period.

(b) Status of Shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be a newly issued share and will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Common Stock will be delivered). If the Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Corporation will cause each such share of Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.

Section 13. Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant this Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that in the case of conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of the Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

43

Section 14. Term. Except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designation, the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable or otherwise mature and the term of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be perpetual.

Section 15. Calculations.

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

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

Section 16. Notices. The Corporation will send all notices or communications to Holders pursuant to this Certificate of Designation in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail (with confirmation of receipt requested from the recipient, in the case of email), or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing next day delivery, to the Holders’ respective addresses shown on the Register. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices and communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid, or by private courier service.

Section 17. Facts Ascertainable. When the terms of this Certificate of Designation refers to a specific agreement or other document to determine the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the Corporation shall maintain a copy of such agreement or document at the principal executive offices of the Corporation and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any Holder who makes a written demand therefore. The Corporation shall also maintain a written record of the Initial Issue Date, the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued to a Holder and the date of each such issuance, and shall furnish such written record free of charge to any Holder who makes a written demand therefor.

Section 18. Waiver. The powers (including voting powers), if any, of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be waived as to all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in any instance (without the necessity of calling, noticing or holding a meeting of stockholders) by the written consent or agreement of the Majority Holders, consenting or agreeing separately as a single class.

44

Section 19. Severability.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [ 🌑 ], 2021, by and among APi Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (including its successors and permitted assigns, the “Company”), and [ 🌑 ], a [Delaware limited partnership] and [ 🌑 ], a [Delaware limited partnership] (the “Investors” and each an “Investor”). Capitalized terms used but not defined elsewhere herein are defined in Exhibit A.

This Agreement is entered into in connection with the closing of the issuance of [ 🌑 ] shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [ 🌑 ], 2021, by and among the Company and the Investors (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

As a condition to each of the parties’ obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investors are entering into this Agreement for the purpose of granting certain registration rights to the Investors.

In consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

RESALE SHELF REGISTRATION

(a) Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall file on the date hereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to go effective as promptly as practicable a registration statement covering the sale or distribution from time to time by the Holders, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of all of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, then such registration shall be on another appropriate form (including Form S-1) and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Holders and provided for in such registration statement) (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement” and such registration, the “Resale Shelf Registration”), and if the Company is a WKSI as of the filing date, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of shares of the Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is

1

permitted by the Commission, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 1.1, the Company shall continue to its use commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as set forth in this Section 1.1. In such event, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders, provided, however, that, prior to reducing the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be registered for any Holder in such Resale Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall first remove any shares of Registrable Securities to be registered for any Person other than a Holder that was proposed to be included in such Resale Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable in accordance with the applicable rules, regulations and guidance of the Commission. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Commission, by written comment, limits the Company’s ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of, a Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration with respect to any or all the Registrable Securities, the Company’s compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use “commercially reasonable efforts” or “reasonable efforts” as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

(b) Effectiveness Period. Once effective, the Company shall, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration to be continuously effective (including by filing a new Resale Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration, if necessary) and usable until the earlier of (a) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration, as applicable, (b) the date as of which there are no longer in existence any Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or Subsequent Shelf Registration, as applicable, and (c) an earlier date agreed to in writing by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(c) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf Registration ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause such Shelf Registration to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration), and in any event shall within thirty (30) days of such cessation of effectiveness, amend such Shelf Registration in a manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration or, file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Holders thereof of all securities that are Registrable Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after such filing, but in no event later than the date that is ninety (90) days after such Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed and (b) keep such Subsequent

2

Shelf Registration (or another Subsequent Shelf Registration) continuously effective until the end of the Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form, and if the Company is a WKSI as of the filing date, such Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form (including Form S-1) and shall provide for the registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders in accordance with any reasonable method of distribution elected by the Holders.

(d) Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration if required by the Securities Act or as reasonably requested by the Holders covered by such Shelf Registration.

(e) Subsequent Holder Notice. If a Person becomes a Holder of Registrable Securities after a Shelf Registration becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall, as promptly as is reasonably practicable following delivery of written notice to the Company of such Person becoming a Holder and requesting for its name to be included as a selling securityholder in the prospectus related to the Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Holder Notice”):

(i) if required and permitted by applicable law, subject to Section 3.1(k), and if the Company is not a WKSI, without regard to the limitations included therein relating to the number of times the Company can provide a Suspension Notice within a 12 month period, file with the Commission a supplement to the related prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration so that such Holder is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration and the related prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law;

(ii) if, pursuant to Section 1.5(a), the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration that is not automatically effective, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event by the date that is ninety (90) days after the date such post-effective amendment is required by Section 1.5(a) to be filed; and

(iii) notify such Holder as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 1.5(a).

(f) Underwritten Offering. The Holders of Registrable Securities may on one or more occasions after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective deliver a written notice to the Company specifying that the sale of some or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration is intended to be conducted through an

3

underwritten offering, so long as the anticipated gross proceeds of such underwritten offering is not less than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) (unless the Holders are proposing to sell all of their remaining Registrable Securities in which case no such minimum gross proceeds threshold shall apply) (the “Underwritten Offering”). The Company will not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Underwritten Offering under this Section 1.6 during any twelve (12) month period. In the event of an Underwritten Offering:

(i) The Holder or Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities participating in an Underwritten Offering shall select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the Underwritten Offering.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.6, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering advises the Board of Directors of the Company that in its or their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such Underwritten Offering in light of market conditions, the Registrable Securities shall be included on a pro rata basis upon the number of securities that each Holder shall have requested to be included in such offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters.

(c) The Company shall agree and shall cause its executive officers and directors to sign a customary “lock-up” agreement with the underwriters in any Underwritten Offering; provided that the lock-up period required thereunder shall not exceed 90 days from the closing of the Underwritten Offering.

(g) Take-Down Notice. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, at any time that any Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if a Holder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect a sale or distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on any Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”) and stating the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Offering, then, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be sold and distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering.

COMPANY REGISTRATION

(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to file a registration statement with respect to an offering (or to make an underwritten public offering pursuant to a previously filed registration statement) for cash of its Common Stock, whether or not for its own account (other than a registration statement on Form ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇ or any successor forms), the Company will:

4

(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof, which notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than ten (10) days prior to the filing or launch date (except in the case of an offering that is an “overnight offering”, in which case such notice must be given no later than two (2) business days prior to the filing or launch date); and

(ii) subject to Section 2.2, include in such registration or underwritten offering (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance) all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests made within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company by any Holder (except in the case of an offering that is an “overnight offering”, in which case such request must be made no later than one (1) business day after receipt of such written notice from the Company).

(b) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 1.6 or this Article II shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. Each Holder proposing to distribute its securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into and perform such Holder’s obligations under an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company or by the stockholders of the Company who have the right to select the underwriters (such underwriting agreement to be in a customary form negotiated by the Company or such stockholders, as the case may be). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering with respect to which Holders of Registrable Securities have exercised their piggyback registration rights advise the Board of Directors of the Company that in its or their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the offering thereby and all other securities proposed to be sold in the offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such underwritten offering in light of market conditions, the Registrable Securities and such other securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be allocated, (a) first, in the event such offering was initiated by the Company for its own account, up to the total number of securities that the Company has requested to be included in such registration, (b) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (a) have been included, up to the total number of securities that the holders under the Existing Registration Rights Agreement have requested to be included in such offering, (c) third, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (b) have been included, up to the total number of securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such offering, together with the total number of securities that the Other Holders have requested to be included in such offering pursuant to the Other Agreement (in each case, pro rata based upon the number of securities that each of them shall have requested to be included in such offering) and (d) fourth, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (c) have been included, all other securities proposed to be included in such offering that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without having such adverse effect. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

5

(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company or the holders of securities who have caused a registration statement to be filed as contemplated by this Article II, as the case may be, shall have the right to have any registration initiated by it or them under this Article II terminated or withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof, whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING REGISTRATION RIGHTS

(a) Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Article I or II, the Company will keep each Holder participating in such registration reasonably informed as to the status thereof and, at its expense, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible to the extent applicable:

(i) prepare and file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) prepare and file, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement (including to permit the intended method of distribution thereof) and as may be necessary to keep the registration statement continuously effective for the period set forth in this Agreement;

(iii) furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to their legal counsel copies of the registration statement proposed to be filed, and provide such Holders and their legal counsel the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such registration statement provided that in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone any filing if such Holder and their legal counsel have not provided comments within five (5) Business Days of their receipt of such copies;

(iv) furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus and final prospectus as the such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities;

(v) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the Company’s knowledge of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, subject to Section 3.1(n), at the request of any such Holder, prepare promptly and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;

6

(vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions in which it is not already qualified;

(vii) in the event that the Registrable Securities are being offered in an underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement on customary terms and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(ix) in connection with a customary due diligence review, make available during business hours for inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any counsel or accountants retained by the Holders or underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all relevant information and participate in customary due diligence sessions in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with such

7

registration statement, provided, however, each such underwriter shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure or use of any information requested above (the “Requested Information”), unless (1) the disclosure of the Requested Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (2) the release of the Requested Information is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, (3) the Requested Information is or has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement, (4) the Requested Information was within such underwriter’s possession on a non-confidential basis prior to it being furnished to such underwriter by or on behalf of the Company or any of its representatives, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information or (5) the Requested Information becomes available to such underwriter on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. Such underwriter agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of the Requested Information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Requested Information deemed confidential;

(x) in the event that any broker-dealer underwrites any Registrable Securities or participates as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “participates in an offering” (within the meaning of the FINRA Rules) thereof, whether as a Holder or as an underwriter, placement, sales agent or broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will, upon the reasonable request of such broker-dealer, comply with any reasonable request of such broker-dealer in complying with the FINRA Rules;

(xi) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith that the disclosure necessary for continued use of the prospectus and registration statement by the Holders could be materially detrimental to the Company, the Company shall have the right not to file or not to cause the effectiveness of any registration covering any Registrable Securities and to suspend the use of the prospectus and the registration statement covering any Registrable Security for such period of time as its use would be materially detrimental to the Company by delivering written notice of such suspension to all Holders listed on the Company’s records; provided, however, that in any 12-month period the Company may exercise the right to such suspension not more than twice. From and after the date of a notice of suspension under this Section 3.1(k), each Holder agrees not to use the prospectus or registration statement until the earlier of (i) notice from the Company that such suspension has been lifted or (ii) the day following the sixtieth (60^th) day of suspension within any 12-month period;

8

(xiii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities to be listed on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed; and

(xiv) cause its officers to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities (including participation in “road shows” and other customary marketing activities, which may be virtual).

From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such securities that conflict with the rights granted to the Holders herein, without the prior written consent of Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities.

(c) Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in complying with this Agreement shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the Holders of the registered securities included in such registration.

(iii) on receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening of any of the events specified in Section 3.1(k), or that requires the suspension by such Holder or Holders of the distribution of any of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders pursuant to a registered offering, then such Holders shall cease offering or distributing the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders in a registered offering until the offering and distribution of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders may recommence in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.

(e) Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of Rule 144 to the Holders, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to:

INDEMNIFICATION

(a) Indemnification by Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will, with respect to any Registrable Securities as to which registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify each Holder, each Holder’s current and former officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, and each Person controlling such Holder or any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each underwriter thereof, if any, and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorney’s fees and any legal or other fees or expenses actually incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), judgments, fines, penalties, charges, amounts paid in settlement and other liabilities, joint or several (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of, or any rule or regulation promulgated under, the Securities Act, Exchange Act or state securities laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and the Company will reimburse each of the Company Indemnified Parties for any reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable to a Holder in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation or alleged violation of any state or federal law (including any claim arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the registration statement or prospectus) which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by or on behalf of any Holder

11

(b) Indemnification by Holders. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration or qualification or compliance under applicable “blue sky” laws is being effected, indemnify, severally and not jointly, the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration, each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other Holder and each of such other Holder’s officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees and each Person controlling such Holder or any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Parties”), against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorney’s fees and any legal or other fees or expenses actually incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), judgments, fines, penalties, charges, amounts paid in settlement and other and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by such Holder of, or any rule or regulation promulgated under, the Securities Act, Exchange Act or state securities law applicable to such Holder, and will reimburse each of the Holder Indemnified Parties for any reasonable legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4.2 payable by a Holder exceed the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities included in such registration exceeds the amount of any other losses, expenses, settlements, damages, claims and liabilities that such Holder has been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or violation. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the applicable Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Holder be liable for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action where such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was corrected in a final or amended prospectus, and the Company or the underwriters failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act

12

(c) Notification. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article IV (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided, however, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, further, however, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to conflicting interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV, only to the extent that, the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial or harmful to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article IV shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification set forth in this Article IV shall be in addition to any other indemnification rights or agreements that an Indemnified Party may have.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article IV is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party, other than pursuant to its terms, with respect to any claim, loss, damage, liability or action referred to therein, then, subject to the limitations contained in Article IV, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claim, loss, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the actions that resulted in such claims, loss, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were based solely upon the number of entities from whom contribution was requested or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 4.4. In no event shall any Holder’s contribution obligation under this Section 4.4 exceed the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from

13

the sale of Registrable Securities included in such registration exceeds the amount of any other losses, expenses, settlements, damages, claims and liabilities that such Holder has been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission or violation. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(a) Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned to any Person in connection with any Transfer (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or assignment of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (a) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (b) prior written notice of such assignment is given to the Company, and (c) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a “Holder” pursuant to a written instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(iii) Such Persons further covenant not to bring a proceeding with respect to the Applicable Matters (or that could affect any Applicable Matter) other than in such Chosen Court and not to challenge or enforce in another jurisdiction a judgment of such Chosen Court.

(iv) Process in any such proceeding may be served on any Person with respect to such Applicable Matters anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such Chosen Court. Without limiting the foregoing, each such Person agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 6.5 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Person.

(v) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND ITS AFFILIATES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
