Preferred Stock Provisions.

4.1 Authority of the Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock in Series. The Preferred Stock may be issued from
time to time in one or more series. Authority is hereby expressly granted to the board of directors, or any committee thereof designated by the board of directors expressly for such purpose, to authorize the issue of one or more series of Preferred
Stock, and to fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of each such series the number of shares to be included in such series and the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights,
and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series, to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by law, including, but not limited to, the following:

(a) The number of shares of such series, which may subsequently be increased, except as otherwise provided by the resolution
or resolutions of the board of directors or committees thereof providing for the issue of such series, or decreased, to a number not less than the number of shares then outstanding, by resolution or resolutions of the board of directors or committee
thereof, and the distinctive designation thereof;

(b) The dividend rights of such series, the preferences, if
any, over any other class or series of stock, or of any other class or series of stock over such series, as to dividends, the extent, if any, to which shares of such series shall be entitled to participate in dividends with shares of any other
series or class of stock, whether dividends on shares of such series shall be fully, partially or conditionally cumulative, or a combination thereof, and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on the payment of such dividends;

(c) The rights of such series, and the preferences, if any, over any other class or series of stock, or of any other class
or series of stock over such series, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation and the extent, if any, to which shares of any such series shall be entitled to participate in such event
with any other series or class of stock;

and the terms and conditions on which, the shares of such series may be redeemed;

(g) The voting powers, if any, of such series in addition to the voting
powers provided by law.

The Directors shall cause a certificate with respect to any such series to be filed
pursuant to applicable law of the State of Delaware.

4.2 Limitation on dividends. No holders of any
series of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividends thereon other than those specifically provided for by the Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions of the board of directors or committee thereof providing
for the issue of such series of Preferred Stock, nor shall any accumulated dividends on the Preferred Stock bear any interest.

4.3 Limitation on liquidation distributions. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Preferred Stock of each
series shall be entitled to receive only such amount or amounts as shall have been fixed by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the resolution or resolutions of the board of directors or committee thereof providing for the issue of such series. A
consolidation or merger of the corporation shall not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, within the meaning of this Article 4.

Common Stock Provisions.

4.4 Rights of Common Stock. The relative rights, privileges, and limitations of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be in all respects identical, share for share, except as
to the dividend rights set forth in Section 4.5, the conversion rights set forth in Section 4.6 and the voting rights set forth in Section 4.7.

4.5 Dividends.

Subject to applicable provisions of law, the preferences of the Preferred Stock and of any other stock ranking prior to the Common Stock as to dividends, and the provisions of this Section 4.5, the
holders of the Common Stock of all classes shall be entitled to receive dividends at such time and in such amounts as may be determined by the board of directors. Holders of one class of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, other
than dividends payable in the capital stock of the corporation, only if dividends in the same type of property are simultaneously declared with respect to the other class of Common Stock. The amount of the dividend, other than dividends payable in
the capital stock of the corporation, to be paid per share of Class A Common Stock shall equal 120% of the non-stock dividend per share declared and paid on each share of Class B Common Stock. No stock dividends may be paid or stock splits
issued on the Common Stock other than stock dividends or stock splits of Class A Common Stock to holders of Class A Common Stock which are equal to simultaneous stock dividends or stock splits of Class B Common Stock to holders of Class B
Common Stock. Dividends on the Class A Common Stock shall be distributed not later than the date upon which the dividend is distributed on the Class B Common Stock.



---

4.6 Conversion Rights of Class B Common Stock. Any holder of
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to cause all or a portion of such shares to be converted, at any time or times at the option of such holder, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock of the
corporation at the rate of one share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock so converted.

Any holder of shares of Class B Common Stock desiring to convert the same into Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the Class B Common Stock being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer,
to the corporation, at the office of any transfer agent for the corporation for the Class B Common Stock, or to the corporations secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation if there is no transfer agent for the Class B
Common Stock, and such certificate or certificates shall be accompanied by a written notice of conversion. Such notice shall specify the number of shares, which must be a number of whole shares, of Class B Common Stock to be converted and the name
or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Class A Common Stock and for any unconverted Class B Common Stock to be issued and shall be accompanied by the payment of any stock transfer tax payable by reason of the
transfer of any such shares to any party other than the holder thereof at the time of such conversion.

As
promptly as practicable after any such surrender of certificates for conversion accompanied by a notice in conformity with the preceding provisions and payment of any applicable stock transfer tax, the corporation shall issue and deliver to such
holder, at the address of such holder on the stock transfer books of the corporation, or to such holders designee, a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder or such
holders designee shall be entitled upon conversion. Each such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of the Class B Common Stock for conversion, and all rights of the
converting holder as a holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered for conversion shall cease at such time and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate(s) for the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
conversion are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders thereof at such time. In case there shall have been surrendered a certificate or certificates for Class B Common Stock converted in part
only, the corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder or such holders designee a new certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock which shall have not been converted.



---

The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance, free from any preemptive rights, upon the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock as herein provided, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be
issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Class B Common Stock at the time outstanding. The corporation shall obtain and keep in force such permits or other authorizations as may be required by law, and shall comply with all requirements as
to qualification, in order to enable the corporation lawfully to issue and deliver such number of shares of its Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock from
time to time outstanding.

All shares of Class B Common Stock converted or surrendered for conversion into
shares of Class A Common Stock as provided in this Section 4.6 shall be retired and cancelled and thereupon restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock.

4.7 Voting. Each share of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one-twentieth (1/20) vote per share
for the election of directors and in respect of each other matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the corporation, and each share of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote per share for the election of directors and
in respect of each other matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the corporation. All shares of Common Stock of all classes shall vote together as a single class on all matters, except as otherwise required by Delaware law.

SECOND: That in lieu of a meeting and vote of stockholders, the stockholders have given written consent to said amendment in
accordance with the provisions of section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and written notice of the adoption of the amendment has been given as provided in section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware to every stockholder entitled to such notice.

THIRD: That the aforesaid amendment was duly adopted in
accordance with the applicable provisions of sections 242 and 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the
authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, this Board of Directors hereby authorizes the issuance of a series of the Preferred Stock of the Company (the
Preferred Stock) which shall consist of 840,000 shares of the Companys Preferred Stock, and this Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights,

as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 1988. Holders of shares of this Series
shall be entitled to receive such dividends in preference to and in priority over dividends upon the Common Shares and all Junior Shares. Shares of this Series shall be on a parity as to dividends with all Parity Shares. Shares of this Series shall
be junior as to dividends to all Senior Shares, and if at any time the Company has failed to pay accrued dividends on any Senior Shares outstanding at the times such dividends are payable or has failed to make a sinking fund or mandatory redemption
payment with respect to Senior Shares, the Company shall not declare or pay any dividend on shares of this Series or redeem any shares of this Series. The holders of shares of this Series shall not be entitled to any dividends other than the cash

If at any time the Company has failed to pay accrued dividends on any shares of this Series
or any Parity Shares at the time outstanding at the times such dividends are payable, the Company shall not

(a) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares or on any Junior Shares or make any payment on account of, or set apart money for, a sinking or other analogous fund for the purchase, redemption or other retirement of any Common Shares
or any Junior Shares or make any distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly and whether in cash or property or in obligations or shares of the Company (other than in Common Shares or Junior Shares),

(b) purchase any shares of this Series or Parity Shares (except for a consideration payable in Common Shares or Junior
Shares) or redeem fewer than all of the shares of this Series and Parity Shares then outstanding, or

(c)
permit any corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Company to purchase any Common Shares, Junior Shares, shares of this Series or Parity Shares, unless, in the case of any such dividend, payment, distribution, purchase
or redemption, all dividends accrued and payable but unpaid on shares of this Series and any Parity Shares have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in full or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for such
payment. Unless and until all dividends accrued and payable but unpaid on shares of this Series and any Parity Shares at the time outstanding have been paid in full, all dividends declared by the Company upon shares of this Series or Parity Shares
shall be declared pro rata with respect to all shares of this Series and Parity Shares then outstanding, so that the amounts of any dividends declared on shares of this Series and such Parity Shares shall in all cases bear to each other the same
ratio that, at the time of such declaration, all accrued and payable but unpaid dividends on shares of this Series and such other Parity Shares, respectively, bear to each other.

(iii) Optional Redemptions for Cash. Subject to the restrictions in Clause (ii) above, shares of this Series shall be redeemable
at the option of the Company at any time or some of them from time to time at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of the liquidation value per share) set forth below, if redeemed during the 12-month period ending March 31 of the

plus, in each case, an amount equal to the dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the redemption
date: provided, however, that shares of this Series may not be so redeemed before March 31, 1990, unless the Market Price equals or exceeds 140% of the conversion price per share of Class A Common Stock for at least 20 of 30 consecutive
trading days ending within five days prior to the notice of redemption.



---

Not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of shares
of this Series pursuant to this Clause (iii), a notice specifying the time and place of such redemption and the number of shares to be redeemed shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the holders of record of the shares of this
Series to be redeemed at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, but neither failure to mail such notice, nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular holder shall affect the
sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the other holders. 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.

If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Clause (iii) and if, on or before the
date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Company, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares so called for redemption, then on
and after the redemption date, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of this Series to be redeemed and the holders of such shares shall cease
to be shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Company by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon
such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Company) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set
aside by the Company and unclaimed at the end of six years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Company after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of
the Company for the payment of the redemption price. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Company from time to time.

If after a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Clause (iii), any holder of shares of this Series shall, prior to the close of business on the last business day preceding the date fixed
for redemption, give written notice to the Company pursuant to Clause (v) below of the conversion of any or all of the shares to be redeemed held by such holder (accompanied by a certificate or certificates for such shares, duly endorsed or
assigned to the Company, and any necessary transfer tax payment, as required by Clause (v) below), then such redemption shall not become effective as to such shares to be converted and such conversion shall become effective as provided in
Clause (v) below.

In every case of redemption of less than all of the outstanding shares of this Series pursuant to this
Clause (iii), the shares to he redeemed shall be selected by lot or by such other manner as may be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors, provided that only whole shares shall be selected for redemption.



---

(iv) Liquidation.

(A) The liquidation price of shares of this Series, in case of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company, shall be $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to the dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the payment date.

(B) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of shares of this Series (1) shall not be entitled to receive the liquidation price of such shares held by them until
the liquidation price of all Senior Shares shall have been paid in full and (2) shall be entitled to receive the liquidation price of such shares held by them in preference to and in priority over any distributions upon the Common Shares and
all Junior Shares. Upon payment in full of the liquidation price to which the holders of shares of this Series are entitled, the holders of shares of this Series will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the
Company. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation price payable to the holders of shares of this Series and the liquidation price payable to the holders of all Parity Shares, the holders of all such shares shall
share ratably in such distribution of assets in accordance with the amounts which would be payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of shares of this Series and the holders of Parity Shares are entitled were paid in full.

(C) Neither a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other
corporation with or into the Company, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Companys assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company within the meaning of this Clause (iv).

(v) Conversion.

(A) Subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of this Series shall be convertible at the option of the holder thereof, in the manner hereinafter set forth, into fully paid
and nonassessable Class A Common Shares at the conversion price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect on the date of conversion. The price at which Class A Common Shares shall be delivered upon conversion (hereinafter referred to
as the conversion price) shall be initially $22.00 per Class A Common Share. The conversion price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in subclause (B) of this Clause (v).

Any holder of shares of this Series desiring to convert the same into Class A Common Shares shall surrender the certificate or
certificates for the shares of this Series being converted, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the principal office of the Company or at a bank or trust company appointed by the Company for that purpose, accompanied by a
written notice of conversion specifying the number (in whole shares) of shares of this Series to be converted and the name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Class A Common Shares to be issued; in case such
notice shall specify a name or names other than that of such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes payable upon the issue of Class A Common Shares in such name or names. In case less than all of the shares of
this Series represented by a certificate are to be converted by a holder, upon such conversion the Company shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the holder a certificate or certificates for the shares of this Series not so
converted. The right to convert shares of this Series called for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last business day preceding the date fixed for redemption pursuant to Clause (iii) above. The holders of shares of this
Series at the close of business on a dividend payment record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares (except shares called for redemption on a redemption date between such record date and the dividend payment date) on
the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the conversion thereof or the Companys default on payment of the dividend due on such dividend payment date. However, shares of this Series surrendered for conversion during the period
from the close of business on any record date for the payment of dividends on such shares of this Series to the opening of business on the corresponding dividend payment date (except shares called for redemption on a redemption date during such
period) must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such dividend payment date. A holder of shares of this Series on a dividend payment record date who (or whose transferee) tenders shares of this
Series on a dividend payment date will receive the dividend payable on such shares by the Company on such date, and the converting holder need not include payment in the amount of such dividend upon surrender of shares of this Series for conversion.
Except as provided above, no payment or adjustment will be made on account of accrued or unpaid dividends upon the conversion of shares of this Series.



---

(B) The conversion price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company in
Class A Common Shares, the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying
such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares
and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this
subclause (B)(1), the number of Class A Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common
Shares. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Class A Common Shares held in the treasury of the Company.

(2) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Class A Common Shares or all holders of its Class B Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Class A
Common Shares at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in subclause (C)) of the Class A Common Shares on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants, the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
Class A Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of Class A Common Shares which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of Class A Common Shares so
offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of
Class A Common Shares so offered for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this subclause (B)(2),
the number of Class A Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.



---

(3) In case outstanding Class A Common Shares shall be subdivided into
a greater number of Class A Common Shares, the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case
outstanding Class A Common Shares shall each be combined into a smaller number of Class A Common Shares, the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective
shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Class A Common Shares
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in subclause (B)(2), any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or
distribution referred to in subclause (B)(1)), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in subclause (C)) of the Class A Common Shares on the date fixed
for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one Class A Common
Share and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Class A Common Shares, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(5) The reclassification of Class A Common Shares
into securities other than Class A Common Shares (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which clause (v)(F) applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Class A
Common Shares to all holders of Class A Common Shares (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and the
date fixed for such determination) within the meaning of subclause (B)(4); and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of Class A Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into
the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective or the day upon which such combination
becomes effective, as the case may be, and the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective) within the meaning of subclause (B)(3).



---

(C) For the purpose of any computation under subclause (B) above: (i) the current
market price per Class A Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Market Price for 15 consecutive Business Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 30 and not less than 20 Business Days before the
date in question and (ii) in the event that any recapitalization, reclassification, dividend, stock split or other event contemplated in subclause (B) above occurs with respect to the Companys Class B Common Shares which, pursuant to
the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, would trigger similar action with respect to the issued or outstanding Class A Common Stock but for the fact that no Class A Common Stock is then issued or outstanding, then solely for the
determination of the adjustments in the conversion price described in subclause (B) above the Class A Common Stock shall be deemed issued and outstanding.

(D) Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (B) above: (i) no adjustment shall be required by reason of the issuance of Class A Common Shares upon conversion of Class B Common Shares
into Class A Common Shares, and (ii) no adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this subclause (D)(ii)) would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subclause (D)(ii) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and provided further, that adjustment
shall be required and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (v) (other than this subclause (D)(ii)) not later than the same time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the
holder of any share of this Series. All calculations under this Clause (v) shall be made to the nearest cent.

(E) The
Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Clause (v), as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holder of Class A Common Shares resulting from any
dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or
correct any error in this Clause (v) and its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.

(F) In case the Company
shall effect any capital reorganization or reclassification of its shares or shall consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and each Class A
Common Share outstanding immediately prior to such consolidation or merger is to remain outstanding immediately after such consolidation or merger) or shall sell or transfer all or substantially all its assets to any other corporation for a
consideration consisting in whole or in part of equity securities of such other corporation, lawful provision shall be made as a part of the terms of such transaction whereby the holders of shares of this Series shall, if entitled to convert such
shares at any time after the consummation of such transaction, receive upon conversion thereof in lieu of each Class A Common Share issuable upon conversion of such shares prior to such consummation the same kind and amount of stock (or other
securities, cash or property, if any) as may be issuable or distributable in connection with such transaction with respect to each outstanding Class A Common Share, subject to adjustments for subsequent stock dividends and distributions,
subdivisions or combinations of shares, capital reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers, as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Clause (v).



---

(G) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided:

(1) the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price and shall cause to be prepared a certificate signed by a
principal financial officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based and the computation thereof; such certificate shall forthwith be filed with each
transfer agent for the shares of this Series; and

(2) a notice stating that the conversion price has been
adjusted and setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall, as soon as practicable, be mailed to the holders of record of outstanding shares of this Series.

(H) In case:

(1) the Company shall declare a dividend or other
distribution on its Class A Common Shares otherwise than in cash out of its earned surplus;

(2) the
Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Class A Common Shares of rights or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights;

(3) of any reclassification of the Class A Common Shares (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding
Class A Common Shares), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company;
or

(4) of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each transfer agent for the shares of this Series and to the holders of record of the
outstanding shares of this Series, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in subclauses (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date as of which
the holders of record of Class A Common Shares to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Class A Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Such notice shall also state whether such transaction will result in any adjustment in the conversion price applicable to the shares of this
Series and, if so, shall state what the adjusted conversion price will be and when it will become effective. Neither the failure to give the notice required by this subclause (H), nor any defect therein, to any particular holder shall affect the
sufficiency of the notice or the legality or validity of any such dividend, distribution, right, warrant, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or the vote on any action authorizing such
with respect to the other holders.



---

(I) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued Class A Common Shares, for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of shares of this Series, the full number of Class A Common Shares then deliverable upon the conversion of all shares of this Series then outstanding and shall
take all action necessary so that Class A Common Shares so issued will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(J) The Company will pay any and all stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of Class A Common Shares on conversion of shares of this Series. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay
any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Class A Common Shares in a name other than that in which the shares of this Series so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery
shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(K) No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of shares of this Series. If any such
conversion would otherwise require the issuance of a fractional share, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Market Price per Class A Common Share (determined as provided in subclause (C) above) on the day of conversion shall
be paid to the holder in cash by the Company.

(L) The certificate of any independent firm of public accountants of recognized
standing selected by the Board of Directors shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of any computation made under this Clause (v).

(vi) Other Preference Shares. So long as any shares of this Series remain outstanding, the Company shall not issue any Preference Shares which are not Senior Shares, Parity Shares or Junior Shares.
All shares of this Series which are at any time redeemed pursuant to Clause (iii) above or converted pursuant to Clause (v) above and all shares of this Series which are otherwise reacquired by the Company and subsequently cancelled by the
Board of Directors shall have the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Shares, without designation as to series, subject to reissuance by the Board of Directors as shares of this Series or shares of any one or more other series.



---

(vii) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of shares of this
Series shall have no voting rights; provided, however:

(A) Dividend Defaults.

(1) If and whenever accrued dividends on the shares of this Series or any Parity Shares shall not have been paid in an
aggregate amount equal to or greater than eight quarterly dividends on the shares of this Series or such Parity Shares at the time outstanding, then, and in any such event, the number of Directors then constituting the entire Board of Directors of
the Company shall automatically be increased by one Director and the holders of shares of this Series and the holders of such Parity Shares, voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to fill such newly created directorship. Such right to
vote as a single class to elect one Director shall, when vested, continue until all dividends in default on the shares of this Series and such Parity Shares, as the case may be, shall have been paid in full and, when so paid, such right to elect one
Director separately as a class shall cease, subject, always, to the same provisions for the vesting of such right to elect one Director separately as a class. The Company may, and upon the written request of the holders of record of not less than
20% of the total number of shares of this Series and such Parity Shares then outstanding shall, call a special meeting of the holders of such shares to fill such newly created directorship for the election of Directors. In the case of such a written
request, such special meeting shall be held within 90 days after the delivery of such request and, in either case, at the place and upon the notice provided by law and in the Bylaws of the Company, provided that the Company shall not be required to
call such a special meeting if such request is received less than 120 days before the date fixed for the next ensuing annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, at which meeting such newly created directorship shall be filled by the holders of
such shares of this Series and such Parity Shares.

(2) So long as any shares of this Series are outstanding,
the Bylaws of the Company shall contain provisions ensuring that the number of Directors of the Company shall at all times be such that the exercise, by the holders of shares of this Series and the holders of Parity Shares, of the right to elect a
Director under the circumstances provided in paragraph (1) of this subclause (A) will not contravene any provisions of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation.

(3) Any Director elected pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subclause (A) shall serve until the earlier of
(x) the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and the election (by the holders of shares of this Series and the holders of Parity Shares) and qualification of their respective successors or (y) the next annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Company following the date upon which all dividends in default on the shares of this Series and such Parity Shares shall have been paid in full. If, prior to the end of the term of any Director elected as aforesaid, a vacancy
in the office of such Director shall occur during the continuance of a default in dividends on the shares of this Series or such Parity Shares by reason of death, resignation or disability, such vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as set
forth in paragraph (1) of this subclause (A).



---

(B) Miscellaneous.

Without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of this Series and outstanding
Parity Shares, voting as a single class (or, if less than all shares of this Series and all series of Parity Shares then outstanding would be adversely affected thereby, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty percent
(60%) of the outstanding shares of each series adversely affected thereby, voting as a separate class), the Company may not

(1) amend the Companys Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate so as to adversely affect the rights or preferences of shares of this Series or the Class A Common Shares;

(2) authorize, create or issue any Senior Shares;

(3) authorize, create or issue Parity Shares; or

(4) effect the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or the sale, exchange or transfer of
all or substantially all of the Companys assets, except that no vote shall be required hereunder if the rights, preferences and privileges of this Series are not adversely affected or the holders of this Series receive a security with
substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges of this Series.

(viii) Certain Definitions. As used in this
Certificate, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

Business Day shall mean
each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Class A Common Shares shall mean the shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value.

amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and which is not subject to redemption by the Company. However, Common Shares issuable upon conversion of shares of this Series shall
include only shares of the class designated as Class A Common Shares as of the original date of issuance of shares of this Series, or shares of the Company of any class or classes resulting from any reclassification or reclassifications thereof
and which have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and which are not subject to redemption by the Company; provided
that if at any time there shall be more than one such resulting class, the shares of each such class then so issuable shall be substantially in the proportion which the total number of shares of such class resulting from such reclassifications bears
to the total number of shares of all classes resulting from all such reclassifications.

Junior Shares
shall mean Preference Shares of any series or class of the Company which are by their terms expressly made junior to shares of this Series at the time outstanding both as to dividends and as to the distribution of assets on any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation of the Company.



---

Market Price on any day shall mean (i) the last reported sales price
regular way per such Common Share on such day or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange, or (ii) if such Common
Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the last reported sales price regular way, or in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way,
on the principal national securities exchange on which such Common Shares are admitted for trading, or (iii) if such Common Shares are not listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, (a) the last reported sales
price of such Common Shares as reported by NASDAQ, National Market System, or (b) if not so reported, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by the
Company for that purpose; provided, however, in the event the price of the Class A Common Stock is not determinable in any manner specified above, the Market Price of the Class A Common Stock shall be deemed to be the same as the Class B
Common Stock.

Parity Shares shall mean Preference Shares which are by their terms on a parity with the
shares of this Series at the time outstanding both as to dividends and as to the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company.

Preference Shares shall mean any class of shares of the Company ranking prior to at least one other class of shares of the Company as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of
assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company.

Senior Shares shall mean any Preference
Shares of any series or class of the Company which are by their terms expressly made senior to shares of this Series at the time outstanding both as to dividends and as to the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the
Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate to be duly executed on its behalf by its undersigned
Vice Chairman and attested to by its Secretary this 4th day of June, 1987.
