 5 








 
payment of such dividends. Dividends shall be payable to holders of record as they appear on the Corporation’s stock register on the immediately preceding Record Date. Accumulations of
dividends on shares of Convertible Preferred Stock do not bear interest. 
 2. Dividends payable on the Convertible Preferred
Stock for any period other than a full Dividend Period (based upon the number of days elapsed during the period) are computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 3. No dividend shall be declared or paid upon, or any sum set apart for the payment of dividends upon, any outstanding share of Convertible
Preferred Stock with respect to any Dividend Period unless all dividends for all preceding Dividend Periods have been declared and paid or declared and a sufficient sum or number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock have been set apart
for the payment of such dividend, upon all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 4. Unless all accrued,
cumulated and unpaid dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock for all past Dividend Periods shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not: 
 (a) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution of assets on any Junior Stock, other than dividends or distributions in the form of Junior Stock and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares in
connection with any such dividend or distribution; 
 (b) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Junior Stock or
pay or make any monies available for a sinking fund for such shares of Junior Stock, other than (i) upon conversion or exchange for other Junior Stock or (ii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of any Junior Stock pursuant to
the conversion or exchange provisions of such shares of Junior Stock; 
 (c) declare or pay any dividend or make any
distribution of assets on any shares of Parity Stock, other than dividends or distributions in the form of Parity Stock or Junior Stock and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares in connection with any such dividend or distribution; or 

(d) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Parity Stock, except upon conversion into or exchange for other Parity Stock or

 5. When
dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as discussed above, all dividends declared on the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Parity Stock shall be paid either (a) pro rata so that the amount of
dividends so declared on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio as accumulated dividends on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock and
such class or series of Parity Stock bear to each other or (b) on another basis that is at least as favorable to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to receive such dividends. 
 E. METHOD OF PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. 
 1. The Corporation shall pay any dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock (whether or not for a current Dividend Period or any prior Dividend Period, and including in connection with the payment of
accrued accumulated and unpaid dividends upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock as discussed in this Statement of Resolutions), either: (a) in cash; (b) by delivery of shares of the Corporation’s common stock; or
(c) through any combination of cash and shares of the Corporation’s common stock. 
 2. If the Corporation makes any
payment of dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of the Corporation’s common stock, such shares of the Corporation’s common stock shall

  

 6 








 
be valued for such purpose, in the case of any dividend payment, at 95% of the average of the Daily VWAP of the Corporation’s common stock on each of the ten consecutive Trading Days ending
on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the payment date for such dividend. 
 3. The Corporation shall give the holders
of the Convertible Preferred Stock notice of the payment method in respect of any dividend at least 20 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the payment date for such dividend. 
 4. If the Corporation elects to pay all or a portion of a dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock in the form of shares of the Corporation’s common stock, the Corporation shall deliver such
shares to the Transfer Agent or another agent (in such capacity, the “Dividend Agent”) on behalf of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and shall instruct, at the Corporation’s sole option, the Dividend Agent
to either: 
 (a) sell such shares for cash on behalf of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and deliver the net
proceeds to the holders less any deductions for withholding taxes; or 
 (b) deliver such shares to or for the account of the
holders less any shares required to be sold for withholding taxes. 
 5. If the Corporation pays all or a portion of a dividend
in the form of shares of the Corporation’s common stock, any such shares of the Corporation’s common stock delivered to the Dividend Agent shall be owned beneficially by the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon delivery to the
Dividend Agent, and the Dividend Agent shall hold such shares and any net cash proceeds from the sale of such shares for the exclusive benefit of the holders. 
 6. If the Corporation elects to deliver shares to the Dividend Agent on behalf of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock for sale for cash on behalf of such holders, the Dividend Agent shall serve
as the designated agent of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock in making such sales. By purchasing and or acquiring the Convertible Preferred Stock, each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock is deemed to appoint the Dividend Agent as
such holder’s agent for the sale of any shares of the Corporation’s common stock that are delivered to the Dividend Agent, on such holder’s behalf, upon payment of dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 7. The net proceeds of any sales of shares of the Corporation’s common stock delivered to the Dividend Agent as dividend payments shall
be distributed to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock less any deductions for withholding taxes as determined on a
holder-by-holder basis. 
 8. In order to satisfy any obligation to withhold taxes arising from any payment of a dividend or
deemed dividend with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock, by purchasing and or acquiring the Convertible Preferred Stock, each holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock is deemed to authorize the Corporation and the Dividend Agent to make any
deductions required by law, and pay to any taxing authority any amount necessary to satisfy such obligation, including the payment of any portion or all of the net cash proceeds resulting from the sale of shares of common stock that are owned
beneficially by such holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 9. If a record holder of Convertible Preferred Stock gives
notice to the Dividend Agent at least 10 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date not to sell shares of the Corporation’s common stock to be delivered as dividend payment to the Dividend Agent and held on behalf of such holder, the
Dividend Agent shall deliver to or for the account of such holder, promptly

  

 7 








 
after receipt by the Dividend Agent, the shares of the Corporation’s common stock issued in payment of such dividend except any shares required to be deducted on account of withholding
taxes. 
 10. If the Corporation elects (i) to deliver shares of the Corporation’s common stock to the Dividend Agent
to sell such shares for cash on behalf of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and a holder gives notice (as described above) of its election to receive such shares and not to have them sold on such holder’s behalf or (ii) to
cause the Dividend Agent to deliver shares of the Corporation’s common stock to holders of Convertible Preferred Stock, such shares shall be treated as restricted securities, bear a legend to that effect and not be transferable by the recipient
thereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Corporation’s obligation to register any such shares on behalf of holders of Convertible
Preferred Stock is limited to those obligations set forth in paragraph N. In addition, each holder must comply with the requirements set forth in paragraph N. 
 11. In lieu of issuing fractional shares of the Corporation’s common stock, the Corporation will pay a cash adjustment to each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to a fraction of a share
of the Corporation’s common stock, provided, however, that the Corporation may round such fractional share up to the next highest whole number of shares in lieu of making such cash adjustment. 
 F. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the
Corporation, each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the Corporation’s assets available for distribution to the Corporation’s shareholders, before any payment or distribution is made to
holders of Junior Stock, the Liquidation Preference per share of the Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares to the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. If, upon the
Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the amounts payable with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock and all Parity Stock are not paid in full, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the
Parity Stock shall share equally and ratably in any distribution of the Corporation’s assets available for distribution to the Corporation’s shareholders in proportion to the full liquidation preference and accumulated and unpaid dividends
to which they are entitled. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and accrued and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no right or claim to any of the
Corporation’s remaining assets. For purposes of this paragraph F, neither the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or business (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the
Corporation), nor the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other person, shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation. 
 G. CONVERSION AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER; ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS. 
 1. Other than during a Fundamental Change Conversion Period, each holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right, at any
time, at such holder’s option, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this paragraph G, any or all of such holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Corporation’s common
stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate. 
 2. In addition to the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock
issuable upon conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock at the option of the holder on the effective date of any conversion (herein referred to as the “Conversion Date”), each converting holder shall have the
right to receive, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph D and paragraph E, an amount equal to all accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends on such converted shares of Convertible Preferred Stock,

  

 8 








 
whether or not declared prior to the Conversion Date, for all prior Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date immediately preceding the Conversion Date (other than
previously declared dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock payable to holders of record as of a prior date), provided that the Corporation is then legally permitted to pay such dividends. Except as described above and in paragraph H,
upon any optional conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 3. Immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date with respect to a conversion, a converting holder of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of the Corporation’s common stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation
shall then be closed or that certificates representing such shares of the Corporation’s common stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder; provided, however, that prior to the close of business on the applicable
Conversion Date, the shares of the Corporation’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose and such holder shall have no rights with respect to such shares of
the Corporation’s common stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on such common stock, by virtue of holding the Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 4. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted if: 
 (a) the Corporation pays a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of the Corporation’s common stock to all holders of shares of the Corporation’s common stock, in which case the Conversion
Rate in effect immediately following the Record Date for such dividend (or distribution) shall be multiplied by the following fraction: 
   OS1   
 OS0 
  

			
	 where
	  	
		
	 OS0 =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Record Date for such dividend (or distribution); and
		
	 OS1 =
	  	the sum of (A) the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Record Date for such dividend (or distribution) and (B) the total
number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock constituting such dividend (or distribution).


 (b) the Corporation issues to all holders of the Corporation’s common
stock rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or share purchase plan or other similar plans) entitling them, for a period of up to 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights or
warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock at less than the Current Market Price of the Corporation’s common stock on the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the close of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance shall be multiplied by the following fraction: 
   OS0+ X   
 OS0+ Y 
  

			
	 where
	  	


  

 9 









			
	 OS0 =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance;
		
	 X =
	  	the total number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
		
	 Y =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the Current Market Price
determined as of the Ex-Date for such issuance.


 To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or
shares of the Corporation’s common stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to such Conversion Rate that would have then been in
effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are only
exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted until such triggering events occur. In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of the Corporation’s common
stock, the Transfer Agent shall take into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Corporation’s board of directors). 
 (c) the Corporation subdivides, splits or combines the shares of the Corporation’s common stock into a greater or lesser number of
shares of common stock, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination shall be multiplied by the following fraction: 
   OS1   
 OS0 
  

			
	 where
	  	
		
	 OS0 =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination;
and
		
	 OS1 =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or
combination.


 (d) the Corporation distributes to all holders of the Corporation’s
common stock evidences of the Corporation’s indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash or other assets (excluding any dividend or distribution covered by paragraphs G.4(a) or G.4(e), any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph
G.4(b), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and any dividend of shares of capital stock of any class or
series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit in the case of a Spin-Off), in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be multiplied by the following fraction: 
         SP0         
 SP0 – FMV

  

 10 









			
	 where
	  	
		
	 SP0 =
	  	the Current Market Price per share of the Corporation’s common stock on the date fixed for determination; and
		
	 FMV =
	  	the fair market value, as determined by the Corporation’s board of directors, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares, securities, cash and other assets so
distributed applicable to one share of the Corporation’s common stock.


 In the event that the Corporation makes a distribution to all holders of the Corporation’s
common stock consisting of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation (herein referred to as a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction: 
   MP0 + MPS   
 MP0 
  

			
	 where
	  	
		
	 MP0 =
	  	the Current Market Price per share of the Corporation’s common stock as of the fifteenth Trading Day after the Ex-Date for such distribution; and
		
	 MPS =
	  	the fair market value of the portion of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of the Corporation’s common stock as
of the fifteenth Trading Day after the Ex-Date for such distribution (or, if such shares of capital stock or equity interests are listed on a national or regional securities exchange, the average of the daily closing price of such securities on each
of the five consecutive Trading Days ending on such fifteenth Trading Day).


 (e) the Corporation makes a distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all
holders of the Corporation’s common stock, excluding (a) any cash that is distributed in a Reorganization Event or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph G.4(d), (b) any dividend or distribution in connection with the
Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and (c) any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, in such event, the Conversion Rate
in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the holders of the Corporation’s common stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be multiplied by the following fraction: 
         SP0        

 SP0 – C 
  

			
	 where
	  	
		
	 SP0 =
	  	the Current Market Price per share of the Corporation’s common stock on the date fixed for such determination; and
		
	 C =
	  	the amount per share of the Corporation’s common stock of the dividend or distribution.


  

 11 








 In the event that a dividend or distribution described in this paragraph G.4(e) is not so made, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Corporation’s board of directors publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared. 
 (f) the Corporation or any of the Corporation’s subsidiaries successfully completes
a tender or exchange offer for the Corporation’s common stock that involves the payment of consideration with a value per share of the Corporation’s common stock exceeding the Current Market Price per share of the Corporation’s common
stock on the last Trading Day immediately succeeding the last day on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, in which case the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
eighth Trading Day after the date of expiration of the tender or exchange offer shall be divided by the following fraction: 
     (SP0 × OS1) +
AC     
 OS0 × SP0 
  

			
	 where
	  	
		
	 SP0 =
	  	the Current Market Price per share of the Corporation’s common stock on the seventh Trading Day after the date of expiration of the tender or exchange
offer;
		
	 OS0 =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding prior to giving effect to such tender or exchange offer (including any shares validly tendered and not
withdrawn);
		
	 OS1 =
	  	the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding (including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn) on the seventh day after the date of expiration
of the tender or exchange offer; and
		
	 AC =
	  	the amount of cash plus the fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable for all the shares of the Corporation’s common stock purchased in the tender or exchange
offer, as determined by the Corporation’s board of directors.


 In the event that the Corporation, or one of its subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase shares
of the Corporation’s common stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Corporation, or such subsidiary, is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded,
then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. 
 Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, if the application of this paragraph G.4(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be
made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this paragraph G.4(f). 
 (g) To the extent that the Corporation has a
rights plan in effect with respect to the Corporation’s common stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, each holder thereof shall receive, in addition to shares of the Corporation’s
common stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the Corporation’s common stock, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the
Corporation made a distribution to all holders of the Corporation’s common stock as described in paragraph G.4(d), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. 
  

 12 








 (h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this paragraph G.4
need be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with
the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such Conversion Rate; provided that (i) on the conversion date for
any Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) prior to determining the amount of any dividend payable by the Corporation, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward that has not been taken
into account before such date. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share. 
 (i) The Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted: 
 (i) upon the issuance of any the Corporation’s common stock
pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Corporation’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in common stock under any plan; 
 (ii) upon the issuance of any of the Corporation’s common stock or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant to any present
or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; 
 (iii) upon the issuance of any of the Corporation’s common stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date; 
 (iv) for a change in the par value or no par value of the Corporation’s common stock; or 
 (v) for accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends. 
 5. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made if holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to such adjustment, so long as the
distributed assets or securities the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock would receive upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock (if such assets or securities are convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable) are convertible,
exchangeable or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least 45 days following conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 6. If the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of the Corporation’s common stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive
a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in
the Conversion Rate then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record. 
 7. Upon any increase or decrease
in the Conversion Rate, then, and in each such case, the Corporation promptly shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Corporation, setting forth in
reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Conversion Rate then in effect following such adjustment. 
 8. In the event of (a) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person (other than a merger or consolidation
in which the Corporation is the continuing

  

 13 








 
corporation and in which the shares of the Corporation’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation are not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of
the Corporation or another person), (b) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another person of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, (c) any reclassification of the Corporation’s common stock
into securities including securities other than the Corporation’s common stock, or (d) any statutory exchange of the Corporation’s securities with another person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) (each herein
referred to as a “Reorganization Event”), each share of Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock,
become convertible into the kind of securities, cash and other property that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had converted its Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Corporation’s common stock immediately
prior to such Reorganization Event. For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of Convertible Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive as a holder of the Corporation’s common stock in the case
of any Reorganization Event or other transaction that causes the Corporation’s common stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election)
shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Corporation’s common stock that affirmatively make such an election. 
 The Corporation may make such increases in the Conversion Rate as it deems advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to
holders of the Corporation’s common stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of its shares (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire its shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

 9. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Convertible
Preferred Stock such number of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation’s common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall take all
action required to increase the authorized number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued shares of the Corporation’s common stock to permit such reservation or to permit the
conversion of all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or the payment or partial payment of dividends declared on Convertible Preferred Stock that are payable in shares of the Corporation’s common stock. 
 10. The issuance or delivery of certificates for shares of the Corporation’s common stock upon the conversion of shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock or the payment or partial payment of a dividend on Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of the Corporation’s common stock, shall be made without charge to the converting holder or recipient of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock for such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, and such certificates shall be issued or delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be
directed by, the holders of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock converted; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of the relevant Convertible Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the person(s)
requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. 
 H. CONVERSION UPON FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. 
 1. If a Fundamental Change occurs, each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock that converts its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at any time during the period (the “Fundamental Change
Conversion Period”) beginning on the Fundamental Change Effective Date and ending on the

  

 14 








 
date that is 15 days after the Fundamental Change Effective Date (the “Expiration Date”) shall receive, for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock, the greater of:

 (a) (1) a number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock equal to the then-applicable Conversion Rate, plus
(2) the Make-Whole Premium, if any, described in paragraph I; and 
 (b) a number of shares of the Corporation’s
common stock calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference by the greater of (i) the average of the Daily VWAP of the Corporation’s common stock on each of the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the Fundamental Change Effective Date and (ii) $5.00. 
 2. In addition to the number of shares of the Corporation’s
common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock at the option of the holder on any Conversion Date during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period, each converting holder shall have the right to receive an amount
equal to all accrued, cumulated and unpaid dividends on such converted shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, whether or not declared prior to that date, for all prior Dividend Periods ending on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date immediately
preceding the Conversion Date (other than previously declared dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock payable to holders of record as of a prior date), provided that the Corporation is then legally permitted to pay such dividends. The
amount payable in respect of such dividends shall be paid in cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock (or Publicly Traded Common Stock of the acquiror, if applicable) or a combination thereof in accordance with the provisions set forth in
paragraph D, including the provisions setting forth the method for valuing the Corporation’s common stock (which shall also apply to any Publicly Traded Common Stock of the acquiror), set forth in paragraph E.2. 
 3. The Corporation must give notice (a “Fundamental Change Notice”) of each Fundamental Change to all record holders
of the Convertible Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the anticipated Fundamental Change Effective Date (determined in good faith by the Corporation’s board of directors) of such Fundamental Change. The Fundamental Change Notice shall be
given by first-class mail to each record holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, at such holder’s address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Each such Fundamental Change Notice shall state (i) the anticipated
Fundamental Change Effective Date; (ii) the Expiration Date; (iii) the name and address of the Transfer Agent; and (iv) the procedures that holders must follow to convert their shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this
paragraph H. 
 4. On or before the Expiration Date, each holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock wishing to exercise
its conversion right pursuant to this paragraph H shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted in the manner and at the place designated in the Fundamental Change Notice, and
on such date the shares of Common Stock (or Publicly Traded Common Stock of the acquiror, if applicable) and the payment for unpaid dividends due to such holder shall be delivered to the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates
as the owner thereof and the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by each surrendered certificate shall be returned to authorized but unissued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 I. MAKE-WHOLE PREMIUM FOR CONVERSION UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. 
 1. Holders who elect to convert shares of Convertible Preferred Stock during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period shall receive, in
addition to the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock issuable upon conversion calculated pursuant to paragraph H, an additional number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock for each share of Convertible Preferred
Stock so

  

 15 








 
converted (the “Additional Shares” or the “Make-Whole Premium”), if any, as set forth below in this paragraph I. 
 2. The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the Fundamental Change Effective Date and
the Fundamental Change Stock Price:

 3. The Fundamental Change Stock Prices set forth in the foregoing table shall be
adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted. The adjusted Fundamental Change Stock Prices shall equal the Fundamental Change Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Fundamental Change Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. Each of the Make-Whole Premiums in the table shall be
subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in paragraph G.4. 
 4. The exact Fundamental
Change Stock Price and Fundamental Change Effective Dates may not be set forth on the table, in which case: 
 (a) if the
Fundamental Change Stock Price is between two Fundamental Change Stock Price amounts on the table or the Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two Fundamental Change Effective Dates on the table, the Make-Whole Premium shall be determined by
straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Premium amounts set forth for the higher and lower Fundamental Change Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; 
 (b) if the Fundamental Change Stock Price is in excess of $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment as described above), then no Make-Whole
Premium amount shall be paid; and 
 (c) if the stock price is less than $18.50 per share (subject to adjustment as described
above), then no Make-Whole Premium amount shall be paid. 
 5. The Corporation shall only be required to deliver the Make-Whole
Premium with respect to shares of Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion during any Fundamental Change Conversion Period. 
 J. MANDATORY CONVERSION. 
  

 16 








 1. At any time on or after October 1, 2014, if the Daily VWAP of the Corporation’s
common stock equals or exceeds 150% of the then-prevailing Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, including the last Trading Day of such 30-Trading Day period, the Corporation may at its
option (by issuing a press release as provided in paragraph J.2), cause the Convertible Preferred Stock to be automatically converted (a “Mandatory Conversion”) into a number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock
for each share of the Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the then-applicable Conversion Rate. In connection with any such mandatory conversion, the Corporation shall also pay converting holders any accumulated and unpaid dividends on their shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The amount payable in respect of such accumulated and unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraphs D and E,
including the provisions setting forth the method for valuing the Corporation’s common stock, set forth in paragraph E.2. 
 2. To exercise the mandatory conversion right described in paragraph J.1, the Corporation shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available
another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Corporation) prior to the opening of business on the fifth Trading Day following any date on which the conditions described in paragraph J.1 are met, announcing such a
mandatory conversion. The Corporation shall also give notice by mail or by publication (with subsequent prompt notice by mail) to the registered holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock (not more than four Business Days after the date of the press
release) of the mandatory conversion announcing the Corporation’s intention to convert the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Conversion Date shall be a date selected by the Corporation (the date so selected, the “Mandatory Conversion
Date”) and shall be no more than ten Business Days after the date on which the Corporation issues such press release. 
 3. In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the press release and notice of a mandatory conversion described in Paragraph J.2 shall state, as appropriate: (a) the Mandatory Conversion Date;
(b) the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock; (c) the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted; (d) whether the
Corporation shall pay accumulated dividends in cash, shares of the Corporation’s common stock or a combination thereof; and (e) that dividends on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted shall cease to accrue on the
Mandatory Conversion Date. 
 4. On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the Convertible
Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion and all rights of holders of such Convertible Preferred Stock shall terminate, except for the right to receive shares of the Corporation’s common stock issuable upon conversion thereof, any
accumulated and unpaid dividends and cash in lieu of fractional shares. The dividend payment with respect to Convertible Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion on a date during the period between the close of business on any Record Date
for the payment of dividends to the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the record holder of such share on such Record Date if such Convertible Preferred Stock has been
converted after such Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date. 
 K. REDEMPTION. 
 1. The Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable at the Corporation’s option. 
 2. The Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable at the option of any holder of Convertible Preferred Stock. 
  

 17 








 L. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of the Corporation’s common
stock shall be issued to holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock upon conversion. In lieu of any fractional shares of the Corporation’s common stock otherwise issuable in respect of the aggregate number of shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock of any holder that are converted, that holder shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of: 
 1. in the case of a conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock as a result of a Fundamental Change or a Mandatory Conversion, the average of the daily closing price per share of common stock on each of the
ten consecutive Trading Days preceding the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion; or 
 2. in the case of
each conversion at the option of a holder, the Daily Closing Price per common share determined as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may elect to round up the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock to be delivered upon conversion to the next highest whole number of shares
in lieu of making such cash payment. If more than one share of Convertible Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same holder, the number of full common shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered. 
 M. VOTING RIGHTS.

 1. The holders of record on the relevant Record Date of the Convertible Preferred Stock, except as otherwise required under
Texas law or as set forth in paragraph M.2, shall not be entitled to vote on any matter required or permitted to be voted upon by the shareholders of the Corporation. 
 2. If and whenever at any time dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock are in arrears and unpaid for six or more Dividend Periods (whether or not consecutive), then the holders of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a single class with any Parity Stock having similar voting rights that are then exercisable (the “Voting Rights Class”), shall be entitled at the Corporation’s next regular or
special meeting of shareholders to elect two additional directors to the Corporation’s board of directors. Upon the election of any such additional directors, the number of directors that comprise the Corporation’s board shall be increased
by such number of additional directors. Such voting rights and the terms of the directors so elected shall continue until such time as the dividend arrearage on the Convertible Preferred Stock has been paid in full. At any time after voting power to
elect directors shall have become vested and be continuing in the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, or if a vacancy shall exist in the office of any such additional director, the Corporation’s board of directors may, and upon written
request of the holders of record of at least 25% of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock addressed to the chairman of the Corporation’s board shall, call a special meeting of the Voting Rights Class for the purpose of electing the
directors that such holders are entitled to elect. At any such meeting held for the purpose of electing such a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least a majority of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be required to
constitute a quorum of such Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 3. In addition, for so long any shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless a greater percentage shall be required by law, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights Class, in person or by proxy, at an annual
meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders or at a special meeting called for such purpose, or by written consent in lieu of such meeting, shall be required to alter, repeal or amend, whether by merger, consolidation, combination,
reclassification or otherwise, any provisions of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation or this Designating Resolution if the amendment would amend, alter or affect the powers, preferences or rights of the Convertible Preferred Stock so as
to adversely affect the holders thereof, including, without 

  

 18 








 
limitation, the creation of, increase in the authorized number of, or issuance of, shares of any class or series of Senior Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authorization of, the increase
in the authorized amount of, or the issuance of any shares of any class or series of Parity Stock or Junior Stock shall not require the consent of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, and shall not be deemed to adversely affect the
powers, preferences or rights of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 4. The number of votes that each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock participating in the votes described above shall have shall be in proportion to the liquidation preference of such share. 
 N. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. 
 1. Shelf Registration. 

(a) So long as any Registrable Security exists: 
 (i) The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than the 20th day after the Issue Date, file with the Commission, and thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause to be declared effective as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than January 1, 2010, a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities
Act relating to the offer and sale (either directly by holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock or by the Dividend Agent on behalf of such holders) of any share of Registrable Securities from time to time in accordance with the methods of
distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf Registration”). 
 (ii) The Corporation shall, subject to its rights to suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to paragraph N.2(b), use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Designating Resolution to the contrary, the Corporation shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Shelf Registration contemplated by paragraph N.1: 
 (a) The Corporation shall include in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement (or, if permitted by Commission Rule
430B(b), in a prospectus supplement that becomes a part thereof pursuant to Commission Rule 430B(f)) that is delivered to any holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to paragraphs N.2(d) and N.2(h), the names of the holders of Registrable
Securities who propose to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. 
 (b) The Corporation shall give written notice to the holders of the Registrable Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration Statement (which notice

  

 19 








 
pursuant to paragraphs N.2(b)(ii)-N.2(b)(v) shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
 (i) when the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments
or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
 (iii)
of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, of the issuance by the Commission of a notification of objection to the use
of the form on which the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed, and of the happening of any event that causes the Corporation to become an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Commission Rule 405; 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Corporation or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 
 (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Corporation to make changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided that
the Corporation may suspend the use of the prospectus pursuant to this paragraph N.2(b)(v) for no more than 15 consecutive days in any fiscal quarter or 30 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period. 
 (c) The Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal, at the earliest possible time, of any order

 20 








 
Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
 (g) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs N.2(b)(ii) through N.2(b)(v), the Corporation shall promptly prepare
and file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to holders of the Registrable Securities or purchasers of Registrable

information relating to such holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the prospectus delivered to such holder in connection with such disposition, that such prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement
of a material fact relating to or provided by such holder or its plan of

  

 21 








 
distribution and that such prospectus does not as of the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by such holder or its plan of distribution necessary to make the
statements in such prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
 (l) Upon actual
receipt of any notice from the Corporation of the happening of any event of the kind described in paragraphs N.2(b)(ii) through N.2(b)(v), holders of Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall forthwith discontinue

 (m) The Corporation shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) in
order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration. 
 (n) The Corporation
shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by

accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the holders of Registrable Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as
shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that with respect to holders of Registrable Securities the
foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated by one counsel designated by the Corporation and acting on behalf of such other parties. 
 (o) In connection with the Shelf Registration, the Corporation, if requested by the Managing Underwriters, if any, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion relating to the Registrable
Securities in customary form addressed to such managing underwriters, if any, thereof; (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable
Registrable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide to any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Professional Standard AU Section 634 “Letters for Underwriters
and Certain Other Requesting Parties.” 
 (p) The Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration Statement to be, upon resale thereunder, listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which any shares of common stock are then listed.

 4. Indemnification. 
 (a) The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Registrable Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls such
holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each holder and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Registrable Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Corporation shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage
or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such holder and furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of such holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with
respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity provisions contained in this paragraph N.4(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any
holder from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Registrable Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities was required to be delivered by such holder
under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such holder results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
Registrable Securities to

  

 23

actions in respect thereof, to which the Corporation or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such holder and furnished to the Corporation by or on behalf of such holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth
immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Corporation for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Corporation or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action in respect thereof. 
 5. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Registrable Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (the “Managing Underwriters”) shall be

approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such

and effective, use its best efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement covering such shares of the Corporation’s common stock until the earlier of such time as all such shares of the Corporation’s
common stock have been resold thereunder and such time as all such shares of the Corporation’s common stock are freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act. 
 (c) In connection with any shelf registration statement described under paragraph N.6(a) or N.6(b), the provisions set forth in this
paragraph N with respect to the Shelf

(“DTC”) OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY DTC TO A NOMINEE OF DTC OR BY A NOMINEE OF DTC TO DTC OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF DTC OR BY ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR OF DTC OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH
SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY. 
 UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC TO THE CORPORATION OR THE
TRANSFER AGENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS

prior to September 29, 2010, and any such common stock, as the case may be, held at any time by the Corporation’s affiliates, shall bear legends comparable to those set forth in paragraph O.1(b) unless the Corporation determines in
accordance with the Securities Act that such shares of the Corporation’s common stock are no longer restricted or such legends are otherwise not required. 
 (e) Any purported transfer of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock not permitted hereunder shall be void and of no effect and the purported transferee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the
Corporation and no other rights against or with respect to the Corporation. 
 2. Certificates.

registered global certificates with the global securities legend set forth in paragraphs O.1(b) and O.1(c) (the “Global Convertible Preferred Stock”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers represented thereby with the
Transfer Agent, as custodian for DTC (or with such other custodian as DTC may direct), and registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC, duly executed by the Corporation and countersigned and registered by the Transfer Agent as hereinafter
provided. The number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by

  

 26 








 
Global Convertible Preferred Stock may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Transfer Agent and DTC or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

 (b) Book-Entry Provisions. In the event Global Convertible Preferred Stock is deposited with or on behalf of DTC, the
Corporation shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall countersign, register and deliver initially one or more Global Convertible Preferred Stock certificates that (a) shall be registered in the name of DTC as depository for such Global
Convertible Preferred Stock or the nominee of DTC and (b) shall be delivered by the Transfer Agent to DTC or pursuant to DTC’s instructions or held by the Transfer Agent as custodian for DTC. 
 Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Designating Resolution with respect to any
Global Convertible Preferred Stock held on their behalf by DTC or by the Transfer Agent as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Convertible Preferred Stock, and DTC may be treated by the Corporation, the Transfer Agent and any agent of the
Corporation or the Transfer Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Convertible Preferred Stock for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Transfer Agent or any agent of the
Corporation or the Transfer Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of
the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (c) Certificated Convertible
Preferred Stock. Except as provided in paragraph O.3, owners of beneficial interests in Global Convertible Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Convertible Preferred Stock in fully registered certificated
form (“Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock”). 
 3. Execution, Countersignature and Registration.
Two Officers shall sign the Convertible Preferred Stock certificate for the Corporation by manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer whose
signature is on a Convertible Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent countersigns and registers the Convertible Preferred Stock certificate, the Convertible Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid
nevertheless. 
 A Convertible Preferred Stock certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent signs the
Convertible Preferred Stock certificate by manual signature. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Convertible Preferred Stock certificate has been countersigned and registered under this Designating Resolution. 
 The Transfer Agent shall countersign, register and deliver certificates of Convertible Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the
Corporation signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation. Such order shall specify the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be countersigned and registered and the date on which the original
issue of the Convertible Preferred Stock is to be countersigned and registered. 
 The Transfer Agent may appoint a countersignature and
registration agent reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to countersign and register the certificates for the Convertible Preferred Stock. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, a countersignature and registration agent may countersign
and register certificates for the Convertible Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so. Each reference in this Designating Resolution to countersignature and registration by the Transfer Agent includes countersignature and registration
by such agent. A countersignature and registration agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 4. Transfer and Exchange. 
  

 27 








 (a) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock. When
Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock for an equal number of
shares of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated
Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the holder thereof
or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 
 (b) Restrictions on Transfer of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock for a
Beneficial Interest in Global Convertible Preferred Stock. Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in Global Convertible Preferred Stock except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

instructions directing the Transfer Agent to make, or to direct DTC to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Convertible Preferred Stock to reflect an increase in the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
represented by the Global Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Transfer Agent shall cancel such Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock and cause, or direct DTC to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between
DTC and the Transfer Agent, the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Global Convertible Preferred Stock to be increased accordingly. If no Global Convertible Preferred Stock is then outstanding, the Corporation shall
issue and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and register, upon written order of the Corporation in the form of an Officers’ certificate, a new Global Convertible Preferred Stock representing the appropriate number of shares. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Convertible Preferred Stock. The transfer and exchange of Global Convertible Preferred Stock or
beneficial interests therein shall be effected through DTC, in accordance with this Designating Resolution (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of DTC therefor.

 (i) Any Person having a beneficial interest in Convertible Preferred Stock may upon request, but only with the consent of the Corporation,
exchange such beneficial interest for Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock representing the same number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is
customary for DTC from DTC or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in Global Convertible Preferred Stock, then, the Transfer Agent or DTC, at the direction of the Transfer Agent, shall cause, in accordance with the
standing instructions and procedures existing between DTC and the Transfer Agent, the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by Global Convertible Preferred Stock to be reduced on its books and records and, following such
reduction, the Corporation shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall countersign, register and deliver to the transferee Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (ii) Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph O.3(d) shall be registered in such names
and in such authorized denominations as DTC, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall deliver such Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock to the
persons or entities in whose names such Convertible Preferred Stock are so registered in accordance with the instructions of DTC. 
  

 28 








 (e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Convertible Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Designating Resolution (other than the provisions set forth in paragraph O.3(d)), Global Convertible Preferred Stock may not be transferred as a whole except by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a
nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor depository. 
 (f) Countersignature and Registration of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock. If at any time: 
 (i) DTC notifies the Corporation that DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Convertible Preferred Stock and a successor depository for the Global Convertible Preferred Stock
is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after delivery of such notice; 
 (ii) DTC ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository for the Global Convertible Preferred Stock is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days; or 
 (iii) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, notifies the Transfer Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock under this Designating Resolution;

 then the Corporation shall execute, and the Transfer Agent, upon receipt of a written order of the Corporation signed by two Officers or by
an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation requesting the countersignature, registration and delivery of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock to the Persons designated by the Corporation, shall countersign, register and deliver
Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Global Convertible Preferred Stock, in exchange for such Global Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (g) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Convertible Preferred Stock. At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Convertible
Preferred Stock have either been exchanged for Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock, converted or canceled, such Global Convertible Preferred Stock shall be returned to DTC for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Transfer Agent. At any
time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in Global Convertible Preferred Stock is exchanged for Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock, converted or canceled, the number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by
such Global Convertible Preferred Stock shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Transfer Agent with respect to such Global Convertible Preferred Stock, by the Transfer Agent or DTC, to reflect such reduction.

 (h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Convertible Preferred Stock. 
 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Corporation shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and register
Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock and Global Convertible Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph O.3. 
 (ii) All Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock and Global Convertible Preferred Stock issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock or Global
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be the valid obligations of the Corporation, entitled to the same benefits under this Designating Resolution as the Certificated Convertible Preferred Stock or Global Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered upon
such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  

 29 








 (iii) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Corporation may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Convertible Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent
nor the Corporation shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (iv) No service charge shall be made to a holder of
Convertible Preferred Stock for any registration of transfer or exchange upon surrender of any Convertible Preferred Stock certificate or common stock certificate of the Corporation at the office of the Transfer Agent maintained for that purpose.
However, the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Convertible Preferred Stock certificates or common
stock certificates of the Corporation. 
 (i) No Obligation of the Transfer Agent. 
 (i) The Transfer Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of Global Convertible Preferred Stock, a member
of or a participant in, DTC or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Convertible Preferred Stock or with respect to
the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Global Convertible Preferred Stock. All notices and communications to be given to
the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and all payments to be made to holders under the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be given or made only to the holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of the Global Convertible Preferred
Stock). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Convertible Preferred Stock shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Transfer Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 
 (ii) The Transfer Agent
shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Designating Resolution or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Convertible
Preferred Stock (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Convertible Preferred Stock) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Designating Resolution, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 5. Replacement Certificates. If any of the Convertible Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Corporation shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Convertible Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Convertible Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or
destroyed, a new Convertible Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Convertible Preferred
Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Corporation and the Transfer Agent.

to any particular holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other holders or affect the legality or validity of any distribution, rights, warrant,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any such action. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
whether or not the holder receives the notice. 
 2. Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired
in any manner, including shares of Convertible Preferred Stock purchased or redeemed or exchanged or converted, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Texas) have the status of authorized but unissued
shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series and may be designated or redesignated and issued or reissued, as the case may be, as part of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation; provided that any issuance
of such shares as Convertible Preferred Stock must be in compliance with the terms hereof. 
 3. The shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be issuable only in whole shares. 
 4. All notice periods referred to herein shall commence on the date
of the mailing of the applicable notice. Notice to any holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be given to the registered address set forth in the Corporation’s records for such holder, or for Global Convertible Preferred Stock, to the
Depository in accordance with its procedures. 
 5. Any payments required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business
Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without interest or additional payment for such delay. Any actions required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.

 6. Holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any preemptive rights to acquire additional capital stock
of the Corporation. 
 7. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in accordance with paragraphs G, H, I, J or M,
the procedures for conversion and voting of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock represented by Global Convertible Preferred Stock will be governed by arrangements among DTC, its participants and Persons that may hold beneficial interests through
such participants designed to permit settlement without the physical movement of certificates. Payments, transfers, deliveries, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in Global Convertible Preferred Stock certificates may be
subject to various policies and procedures adopted by DTC from time to time.

required to take any action, and will not take any action, in connection with any conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock (whether upon conversion at the option of holders, conversion upon Fundamental Change, Mandatory Conversion, increase in
the Conversion Rate or otherwise) without complying, if applicable, with the shareholder approval rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including Listing Rule 5635 and IM-5635-2, which require shareholder approval of certain issuances of the
Corporation’s common stock). 
 9. Whether or not the Corporation is required to file reports with the Commission, if any
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will file with the Commission all such reports and other information as the Corporation would be required to file and on or prior to the dates such reports would be required to
be filed with the Commission by Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act. 
 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the
