In addition, under our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”), JPE, which is controlled by Mr. Jacobs, is currently entitled to designate a majority of persons to the Board in connection with each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected because the investors (the “Investors”) party to the Investment Agreement (as defined below) beneficially own or control approximately 49.2% of the voting power of our capital stock when calculated on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, assuming the exercise of the Company Warrants. JPE currently holds 900,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and 197,109,065 Warrants, which may be converted or exchanged into an aggregate of 394,218,132 shares of common stock. So long as the Investors party to the Investment Agreement collectively own or control (together with their affiliates) Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of common stock or other voting securities, or Warrants exercisable for such securities, representing, in the aggregate, at least 45% of the total voting power of the capital stock of the Company, calculated on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, JPE will continue to be entitled to designate a majority of persons to our Board. JPE’s right to designate persons to the Board will generally decrease proportionally together with a decrease in the Investors’ ownership or control (together with affiliates) of Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of common stock or other voting securities, or Warrants exercisable for such securities, calculated

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our Charter and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
