written request of the recordholder of this certificate to the Corporation at its principal place of business or registered office, a full statement of the powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights will be furnished without charge. 
 The holders of Series B Stock are entitled to ten (10) votes per share, voting as a single class with the holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Stock and outstanding shares, if any, of
Series C Stock. Shares of Series B Stock are subject to significant restrictions on transfer and registration of transfer and to mandatory conversion upon the occurrence of certain events. In general, Series B Stock can be transferred
only to “Permitted Transferees” (as defined in Article Four of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation). 
 As a condition to transfer
of Series B Stock, the Corporation requires affidavits or other proof acceptable to the Corporation at its Transfer Agent that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Series B Stock presented for transfer shall be presumed to be
presented for conversion and delivery of Series A Stock to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee unless accompanied by such evidence to the contrary when delivered to the Corporation or its Transfer Agent. 
 Shares of Series B Stock are freely convertible into shares of Series A Stock. The holder of such shares may exercise the conversion privilege at any time by
surrendering the certificate(s) representing Series B Stock to the Corporation or its Transfer Agent and 








 
completing and signing the written notice of election to convert such shares into Series A Stock set forth at the bottom of this certificate.
