 RIGHTS AGREEMENT 

RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of November 2, 2011 (this “Agreement”), between WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company (the “Rights Agent”). 

WHEREAS, effective November 2, 2011 (the “Rights Dividend Declaration Date”), the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized and declared a distribution of one Right (each, a “Right”) for each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) outstanding at the Close of Business (as
defined below) on November 14, 2011 (the “Record Date”), and has authorized the issuance of one Right (as such number may hereinafter be adjusted pursuant hereto) for each share of Company Common Stock issued between the Record
Date (whether originally issued or delivered from the Company’s treasury) and, except as otherwise provided in Section 22, the Distribution Date, each Right initially representing the right to purchase upon the terms and subject to
the conditions hereinafter set forth one Unit (as defined below) of Preferred Stock (as defined below); 
 WHEREAS, the Company
desires to set forth certain terms and conditions governing the Rights; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to appoint the
Rights Agent to act as rights agent hereunder, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated: 

(a) “Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person who or which, alone or together with all Affiliates and
Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 12% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, but shall not include: 
 (i) the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such
capacity; 
 (ii) any Person that, as of the date hereof is, and hereafter continues to be, the Beneficial Owner
of 12% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, unless and until such Person acquires Beneficial Ownership (other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, or similar transaction effected by the Company in which all
registered holders of shares of Company Common Stock are treated substantially equally) of additional shares of 

  








 
Company Common Stock representing 1.0% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding; or 
 (iii) any Person who has become and is such a Beneficial Owner solely because (A) of a change in the aggregate number of shares of the Company Common Stock since the last date on which such Person
acquired Beneficial Ownership of any shares of the Company Common Stock and who has not acquired Beneficial Ownership of any additional shares since the date on which such Person became such a Beneficial Owner or (B) it acquired such Beneficial
Ownership in the good faith belief that such acquisition would not (1) cause such Beneficial Ownership to be equal to or exceed 12% of the shares of the Company Common Stock then outstanding and such Person relied in good faith in computing the
percentage of its Beneficial Ownership on publicly filed reports or documents of the Company that are inaccurate or out-of-date or (2) otherwise cause a Distribution Date or the adjustment provided for in Section 11(a)(ii) to occur.
Notwithstanding clause (iii)(B) of the foregoing sentence, if any Person that is not an Acquiring Person due to such clause (iii)(B) does not reduce its percentage of Beneficial Ownership of the Company Common Stock to less than 12% (or, in the case
solely of Derivative Common Shares (as such term is hereinafter defined), does not terminate the subject derivative transaction or transactions or disposes of the subject derivative security or securities, or establish to the satisfaction of the
Board of Directors of the Company that such Derivative Common Shares are not held with any intention of changing or influencing control of the Company), in each case as promptly as practicable after notice from the Company that such Person’s
Beneficial Ownership of the Company Common Stock is equal to or exceeds 12%, such Person shall then become an Acquiring Person (and such clause (iii)(B) shall no longer apply to such Person). For purposes of this definition, the determination of
whether any Person acted in “good faith” or “as promptly as practicable” shall be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, acting by a vote of those directors of the Company whose approval would be
required to redeem the Rights under Section 23. 
 (b) “Adjustment Shares” has the
meaning set forth in Section 11(a)(ii). 
 (c) “Adjustment Spread” has the meaning
set forth in Section 34(a)(ii). 
 (d) “Affiliate” and “Associate”
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act Regulations as in effect on the date of this Agreement. 
 (e) “Agreement” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. 
 (f) A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, and shall be deemed to “beneficially own”, and shall be deemed to have “Beneficial Ownership” of,
any securities: 

  
 2 








 (i) of which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or
Associates is considered to be a “beneficial owner” under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act Regulations as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the “Beneficial
Owner” of, or to “beneficially own”, or to have “Beneficial Ownership” of, any securities under this subparagraph (i) as a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such securities if such agreement,
arrangement or understanding (A) arises solely from a revocable proxy given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations,
and (B) is not reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report); 
 (ii) that are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate of such other Person) with which such Person (or any of such Person’s Affiliates or
Associates) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing), for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except pursuant to a revocable proxy as described in the proviso to subparagraph (i) of this
Section 1(f)) or disposing of such securities; 
 (iii) that such Person or any of such Person’s
Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the satisfaction of conditions) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding (whether or not in writing) or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; or 
 (iv) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Counterparty (or any of such Counterparty’s Affiliates or Associates) under any Derivatives Contract (without regard to any short or
similar position under the same or any other Derivatives Contract) to which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates is a Receiving Party (as such terms are defined in the final paragraph of this Section 1(f));
provided, however that the number of shares of Company Common Stock that a Person is deemed to Beneficially Own pursuant to this clause (iv) in connection with a particular Derivatives Contract shall not exceed the number of
Notional Common Shares with respect to such Derivatives Contract; provided, further, that the number of securities beneficially owned by each Counterparty (including its Affiliates and Associates) under a Derivatives Contract shall for
purposes of this clause (iv) be deemed to include all securities that are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Counterparty (or any of such other Counterparty’s Affiliates or Associates) under any Derivatives Contract
to which such first Counterparty (or any of such first Counterparty’s Affiliates or Associates) is a Receiving Party, with this proviso being applied to successive Counterparties as appropriate. Such shares of Company Common Stock that are
deemed so Beneficially Owned pursuant to the 

  
 3 








 
operation of this Section 1(f)(iv) shall be referred to herein as “Derivative Common Shares”; 
 provided, however, that under this Section 1(f) a Person shall not be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own”, or to have “Beneficial
Ownership” of, (A) securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made in accordance with Exchange Act Regulations by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are accepted
for purchase or exchange, (B) securities that may be issued upon exercise of Rights at any time prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event or (C) securities that may be issued upon exercise of Rights from and after the occurrence of a
Triggering Event, which Rights were acquired by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates prior to the Distribution Date or pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 22 or pursuant to
Section 11(i) in connection with an adjustment made with respect to any such Rights. 
 A “Derivatives
Contract” is a contract between two parties (the “Receiving Party” and the “Counterparty”) that is designed to produce economic benefits and risks to the Receiving Party that correspond substantially to the ownership by
the Receiving Party of a number of shares of Company Common Stock specified or referenced in such contract (the number corresponding to such economic benefits and risks, the “Notional Common Shares”), regardless of whether
obligations under such contract are required or permitted to be settled through the delivery of cash, shares of Company Common Stock or other property, without regard to any short position under the same or any other Derivative Contract. For the
avoidance of doubt, interests in broad-based index options, broad-based index futures and broad-based publicly traded market baskets of stocks approved for trading by the appropriate federal governmental authority shall not be deemed to be
Derivatives Contracts.

a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
 (h) “Close of Business” on any given date shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date; provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day it

 SECTION 2. Appointment of Rights Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Rights
Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. With the consent of the Rights Agent, the Company may from time to time appoint such co-Rights Agents as
it may deem necessary or desirable. 
 SECTION 3. Issue of Rights Certificates. (a) Until the earlier of
(i) the Close of Business on the tenth day after the Stock Acquisition Date and (ii) the Close of Business on the tenth Business Day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to such
time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, and of which the Company will give the Rights Agent prompt written notice) after the date that a tender or exchange offer by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any
employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such capacity) is commenced within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act Regulations or any
successor rule, if upon consummation thereof such Person would be the Beneficial Owner of 12% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (the earlier of (i) and (ii) above being the “Distribution
Date”), (x) the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(c)) by the certificates for shares of Company Common Stock registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be
deemed to be Right Certificates), or by a current ownership statement issued with respect to uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock in lieu of such a certificate (an “Ownership Statement”), and not by separate Rights
Certificates, and (y) the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the underlying shares of Company Common Stock (including a transfer to the Company). As promptly as practicable after the Distribution Date, the
Rights Agent will send by first-class, insured, postage prepaid mail, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the books and records of the
Company, one or more rights certificates, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Rights Certificates”) evidencing one Right for each share of Company Common Stock so held, subject to adjustment as provided
herein. In the event that an adjustment in the number of Rights per share of Company Common Stock has been made pursuant to Section 11(p), at the time of distribution of the Rights Certificates, the Company may make the necessary and
appropriate rounding adjustments (in accordance with Section 14(a)) so that Rights Certificates evidencing only whole numbers of Rights are distributed and cash is paid in lieu of any fractional Rights. As of and after the Distribution
Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by such Rights Certificates. 
 (b) On the Record Date, or as promptly as practicable
thereafter, the Company will make available a Summary of Rights to Purchase Preferred Stock, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Summary of Rights”), to each record holder of shares of Company Common
Stock as of the Close of Business on the Record Date. 
 (c) Rights shall, without any further action, be issued in respect of
all shares of Company Common Stock that are issued (including any shares of Company Common Stock held in treasury) after the Record Date but prior to the earlier of the Distribution Date and the Expiration Date. Certificates (or Ownership
Statements) for shares of Company Common Stock that become outstanding (including, without limitation, reacquired shares of Company Common 

  
 7 








 
Stock referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph (c)) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date shall have
impressed on, printed on, written on or otherwise affixed to them a legend substantially as follows: 

“This [certificate] [statement] also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in a
Rights Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2011, between WebMD Health Corp. and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by
reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and
will no longer be evidenced by this [certificate] [statement]. WebMD Health Corp. will mail to the holder of this [certificate] [statement] a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain
circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights issued to, or held by, any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), whether currently
held by or on behalf of such Person or by any subsequent holder, shall become null and void. 
 With respect to certificates or Ownership
Statements evidencing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock (whether or not such certificates, or Ownership Statements, include the foregoing legend or have appended to them the Summary of Rights), until the earlier of the Distribution Date
and the Expiration Date, the Rights associated with the shares of Company Common Stock evidenced by such certificates or such Ownership Statements shall be evidenced by such certificates or such Ownership Statements alone, and the surrender for
transfer of any such certificate, or the transfer of shares of Company Common Stock evidenced by such an Ownership Statement, shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Company Common Stock, the ownership of which
is evidenced thereby. In the event that the Company purchases or acquires any shares of Company Common Stock after the Record Date but prior to the Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed
cancelled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with the shares of Company Common Stock which are no longer outstanding. 
 SECTION 4. Form of Rights Certificates. (a) The Rights Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase, assignment and certificate to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall each be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any rule or regulation thereunder or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Rights may from time to time be listed or to
conform to usage. Subject to the provisions of Section 11 and Section 22, the Rights Certificates, whenever distributed, shall be dated as of the Record Date and on their face shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase
such number of Units of Preferred Stock as shall be set forth therein at the price set forth therein, but the amount and type of 

  
 8 








 
securities, cash or other assets that may be acquired upon the exercise of each Right and the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

(b) Any Rights Certificate issued pursuant hereto that evidences Rights beneficially owned by: (i) an Acquiring Person or any
Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) that becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person
(or of any such Associate or Affiliate) that becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and that receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the
Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person (or such Associate or Affiliate) or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person (or such Associate or Affiliate) has any continuing
agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding either the transferred Rights, shares of Company Common Stock or the Company or (B) a transfer that a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to be part of a plan,
arrangement or understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of Section 7(e), shall, upon the written direction of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, contain (to the extent feasible) the following
legend: 
 “The Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate are or were beneficially owned by a Person who
was or became an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement). Accordingly, this Rights Certificate and the Rights evidenced hereby shall become null and void in the
circumstances specified in Section 7(e) of such Agreement.” 
 SECTION 5. Countersignature and
Registration. (a) Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President, or one of its Vice Presidents under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any one or more of these officers on the Rights Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Rights Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the countersignature of such Rights Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Rights
Certificates. No Rights Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Rights Certificate a countersignature duly executed by the Rights Agent by manual signature of an
authorized signatory, and such countersignature upon any Rights Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Rights Certificate has been duly countersigned as required hereunder. 

(b) Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep, or cause to be kept, at its office designated for surrender of Rights
Certificates upon exercise or transfer, books for registration and transfer of the Rights Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the name and address of each holder of the Rights Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face
by each Rights Certificate and the date of the issuance of each Rights Certificate. 

  
 9 








 SECTION 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Rights Certificates;
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Rights Certificates. (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 4(b), 7(e) and 14, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on
the Expiration Date, any Rights Certificate or Certificates may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Certificates, entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of Units of Preferred Stock
(or, following a Triggering Event, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as the Rights Certificate or Certificates surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine
or exchange any Rights Certificate or Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Rights Certificate or Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the office of the
Rights Agent designated for such purpose. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect to the transfer of any such surrendered Rights Certificate until the registered holder shall have
completed and duly executed the certificate set forth in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such Rights Certificate and shall have provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of
the Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request; whereupon the Rights Agent shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 4(b), 7(e) and 14, countersign and
deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Rights Certificates. 
 (b) If a Rights Certificate shall be mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen, upon request by the registered holder of the Rights evidenced thereby and upon payment to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incident thereto, there shall be issued, in exchange for and upon
cancellation of the mutilated Rights Certificate, or in substitution for the lost, stolen or destroyed Rights Certificate, a new Rights Certificate, in substantially the form of the prior Rights Certificate, of like tenor and evidencing the
equivalent number of Rights, but, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Rights Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Rights Certificate and, if requested by the
Company or the Rights Agent, indemnity also satisfactory to it. 
 SECTION 7. Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price;
Expiration Date of Rights. (a) Prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the day that is 364 days from the date of this Agreement (the “Final Expiration Date”) and (ii) the time at which the Rights are
redeemed as provided in Section 23 (the earlier of (i) and (ii) being the “Expiration Date”), the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may, subject to the provisions of Sections 7(e) and
9(c), exercise the Rights evidenced thereby in whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Rights Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate on the reverse side thereof duly
executed, to the Rights Agent at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the number of Units of Preferred Stock (or, following a Triggering Event, other securities, cash
or other assets, as the case may be) for which such surrendered Rights are then exercisable.

 (b) The purchase price for each one one-thousandth of a share (each such one one-thousandth
of a share being a “Unit”) of Preferred Stock upon exercise of a Right shall be $153.00, subject to adjustment or reduction from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13(a) (such purchase price, as so adjusted,
being the “Purchase Price”), and shall be payable in accordance with paragraph (c) below. 
 (c) As
promptly as practicable following the occurrence of the Distribution Date, the Company shall deposit with a corporation in good standing organized under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States, that is authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority (such institution being the “Depositary Agent”), certificates evidencing the shares of Preferred
Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights and shall cause such Depositary Agent to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Depositary Agent shall issue receipts evidencing interests in the shares of Preferred Stock so deposited.
Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate evidencing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate duly executed, accompanied by payment, with respect to each Right so exercised, of the Purchase Price for the Units of
Preferred Stock (or, following a Triggering Event, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) to be purchased thereby as set forth below and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax or evidence satisfactory to the Company of
payment of such tax, the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 20(k), thereupon promptly (i) requisition from the Depositary Agent depositary receipts or certificates evidencing such number of Units of Preferred Stock as are to be
purchased and the Company will direct the Depositary Agent to comply with such request, (ii) requisition from the Company the amount of cash, if any, to be paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14,
(iii) after receipt of such depositary receipts or certificates, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder, and
(iv) after receipt thereof, deliver such cash, if any, to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate. In the event that the Company is obligated to issue Company Common Stock, other securities of the Company, pay cash
and/or distribute other property pursuant to Section 11(a), the Company will make all arrangements necessary so that such Company Common Stock, other securities, cash and/or other property are available for distribution by the Rights
Agent, if and when appropriate. Subject to Section 34, the payment of the Purchase Price may be made in cash or by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the Company (provided that notice of such wire transfer shall be given by the holder of the related Right to the Rights Agent). 
 (d) In case the registered holder of any Rights Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued
by the Rights Agent and delivered to, or upon the order of, the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder, subject to the provisions of Section 14. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Rights Certificate to the contrary, from and after the first occurrence of any
Section 11(a)(ii) Event or Section 13 Event, any Rights beneficially owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or


  
 11 









 
Affiliate) that becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) that becomes a transferee
prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and that receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) to holders of
equity interests in such Acquiring Person (or such Associate or Affiliate) or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person (or such Associate or Affiliate) has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights,
shares of Company Common Stock or the Company or (B) a transfer that a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to be part of a plan, arrangement or understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of
this Section 7(e), shall be null and void without any further action, and no holder of such Rights shall have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The Company
shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of this Section 7(e) and Section 4(b) are complied with, but shall have no liability to any holder of Rights or any other Person as a result of the Company’s
failure to make any determination under this Section 7(e) or Section 4(b) with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates, Associates or transferees. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Rights Certificate to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall
be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise by such registered holder unless such registered holder shall have (i) completed and duly executed the certificate following
the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Rights Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of the Rights
evidenced by such Rights Certificate or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request. 

SECTION 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Rights Certificates. All Rights Certificates surrendered for the purpose of
exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in cancelled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be cancelled by
it, and no Rights Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any
Rights Certificates acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all cancelled Rights Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such cancelled Rights
Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company. 
 SECTION 9.
Reservation and Availability of Capital Stock. (a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts at all times prior to the Expiration Date to cause to be reserved and kept available, out of its authorized and unissued shares of
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock that, as provided in this Agreement, will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. Upon the occurrence of any events resulting in an increase in the aggregate
number of shares of Preferred Stock (or other equity securities of the Company) issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Rights above the number then reserved, the Company shall make appropriate increases in the number of shares so reserved.


  
 12 









 (b) If the shares of Preferred Stock to be issued and delivered upon the exercise of the
Rights may be listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall during the period from the Distribution Date through the Expiration Date use its best efforts to cause all securities reserved for such issuance to be listed on such
exchange upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise. 
 (c) The Company shall use its best efforts (i) as soon as
practicable following the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event and a determination by the Company in accordance with Section 11(a)(iii) of the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Rights or, if so
required by law, as soon as practicable following the Distribution Date (such date being the “Registration Date”), to file a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to the securities that
may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights (the “Registration Statement”), (ii) to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, (iii) to cause the Registration Statement
to continue to be effective (and to include a prospectus complying with the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for the securities covered by the Registration
Statement and (B) the Expiration Date and (iv) to take as soon as practicable following the Registration Date such action as may be required to ensure that any acquisition of securities upon exercise of the Rights complies with any
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. If the Registration Statement does not become effective prior to the Close of Business on the 45th Business Day following the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, the Company
shall, unless otherwise determined by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, on the 46th Business Day following the occurrence of such Section 11(a)(ii) Event, be obligated to exercise the option described in
Section 34. 
 (d) The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Preferred
Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any other securities that may be delivered upon exercise of Rights) shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates or depositary receipts for such securities, duly and validly
authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable. 
 (e) The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or transfer tax
imposed in connection with the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates or upon the exercise of Rights; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax imposed in connection with the issuance or
delivery of Units of Preferred Stock, or any certificates or depositary receipts for such Units of Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any other securities, cash or assets, as the case may be) to any Person other
than the registered holder of the Rights Certificates evidencing the Rights surrendered for exercise. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or depositary receipts for Units of Preferred Stock (or, following the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, any other securities, cash or assets, as the case may be) to, or in a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Rights Certificate upon the exercise of any Rights evidenced thereby until any such tax
shall have been paid (any such tax being payable by the holder of such Rights Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax is due. 

  
 13 









 SECTION 10. Preferred Stock Record Date. Each Person in whose name any
certificate or depositary receipt for Units of Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the
Units of Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) evidenced thereby on, and such certificate or depositary receipt shall be dated, the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was
duly surrendered and payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Preferred Stock (or, following the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such securities on, and such certificate or depositary receipt shall be dated, the next
succeeding Business Day on which the Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) transfer books of the Company are open; and further provided, however, that if delivery of Units of Preferred
Stock is delayed as a result of a failure to register such Units of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 9(c), such Persons shall be deemed to have become the record holders of such Units of Preferred Stock only when such Units first
become deliverable. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Rights Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to securities for which the Rights shall be exercisable,
including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.

 SECTION 11. Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number and Kind of Shares or Rights. The Purchase Price, the number and
kind of securities covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11. 

(a) (i) In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the
Preferred Stock payable in shares of Preferred Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Preferred Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), except as otherwise provided in this
Section 11(a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of Preferred Stock or capital
stock, as the case may be, issuable on such date upon exercise of the Rights, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the Purchase Price then in
effect, the aggregate number and kind of shares of Preferred Stock or capital stock, as the case may be, which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date, such holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to
receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. If an event occurs that would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the adjustment provided for in this
Section 11(a)(i) shall be in 

  
 14 









 
addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii). 

(ii) In the event any Person shall become an Acquiring Person, unless the event causing such Person to become an Acquiring
Person is a transaction set forth in Section 13(a), then, immediately upon the date of the occurrence of such event described in this Section 11(a)(ii) (a “Section 11(a)(ii) Event”), proper provision
shall be made so that each holder of a Right (except as provided below and in Section 7(e)) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise thereof at the then-current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, in lieu of the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, such number of Units of Preferred Stock as shall equal the result obtained by
(x) multiplying the then-current Purchase Price by the then number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event (such product thereafter being, for all
purposes of this Agreement other than Section 13, the “Purchase Price”), and (y) dividing that product by 50% of the then-current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) per Unit of Preferred
Stock on the date of such first occurrence (such Units of Preferred Stock being the “Adjustment Shares”). 
 (iii) In the event that the number of shares of Preferred Stock that are authorized by the Company’s Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for
purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights is not sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii) of this Section 11(a), the Company, by the vote of a majority of the
Company’s Board of Directors, shall: (A) determine the excess of (1) the value of the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the “Current Value”) over (2) the Purchase Price (such excess being
the “Spread”), and (B) with respect to each Right, make adequate provision to substitute for such Adjustment Shares, upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the Purchase Price,
(3) Company Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, shares, or units of shares, of preferred stock (such other shares being “preferred stock equivalents”)), (4) debt
securities of the Company, (5) other assets or (6) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal to the Current Value, where such aggregate value has been determined by a majority of the Company’s Board of
Directors, after receiving advice from a nationally recognized investment banking firm; provided, however, that if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty days
following the later of (x) the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event and (y) the date on which the Company’s right of redemption pursuant to Section 23(a) expires (the later of (x) and (y) being
referred to herein as the “Section 11(a)(iii) Trigger Date”), then the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, Units of Preferred
Stock (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which Units of Preferred Stock and/or cash shall have an aggregate value equal to the Spread. To the extent that the Company determines that some action need be taken pursuant to the
first sentence of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company shall provide, subject to Section 7(e), that such action shall apply uniformly to 

  
 15 









 
all outstanding Rights. For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of a Unit of Preferred Stock shall be the current market price (as determined pursuant to
Section 11(d)) per Unit of Preferred Stock on the Section 11(a)(iii) Trigger Date and the value of any preferred stock equivalent shall be deemed to have the same value as the Preferred Stock on such date. 

(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of
Preferred Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase (for a period expiring within forty-five calendar days after such record date) shares of Preferred Stock (or shares having substantially the same rights, privileges and preferences as
shares of Preferred Stock (“Equivalent Preferred Stock”)) or securities convertible into Preferred Stock or Equivalent Preferred Stock at a price per share of Preferred Stock or per share of Equivalent Preferred Stock (or having a
conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Preferred Stock or Equivalent Preferred Stock) less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) per share of Preferred Stock on such record date, the
Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Preferred
Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Preferred Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock and/or Equivalent Preferred Stock so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial
conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional
shares of Preferred Stock and/or Equivalent Preferred Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible). In case such subscription price may be paid by delivery of
consideration part or all of which may be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement
filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Shares of Preferred Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any
such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in
effect if such record date had not been fixed. 
 (c) In case the Company shall fix a record date for a
distribution to all holders of shares of Preferred Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash (other than a regular
quarterly cash dividend out of the earnings or retained earnings of the Company), assets (other than a dividend payable in shares of Preferred Stock, but including any dividend payable in stock other than Preferred Stock) or subscription rights or
warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 11(b)), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the current market price (as 

  
 16 









 
determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) per share of Preferred Stock on such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s
Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holder of the Rights) of the cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of
such subscription rights or warrants distributable in respect of a share of Preferred Stock and the denominator of which shall be such current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) per share of Preferred Stock. Such
adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would have been in effect if such record date had
not been fixed. 
 (d) (i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “current market price” per
share of Company Common Stock or Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such shares for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date; provided, however,
that if prior to the expiration of such requisite ten Trading Day period the issuer announces either (A) a dividend or distribution on such shares payable in such shares or securities convertible into such shares (other than the Rights) or
(B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such shares, then, following the ex-dividend date for such dividend or the record date for such subdivision, as the case may be, the “current market price” shall be properly
adjusted to take into account such event. The closing price for each day shall be, if the shares are listed and admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with
respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which such shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if such shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or,
if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the NASDAQ National Market or such other system then in use, or, if on any such date such shares are not quoted by any such
organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such shares selected by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors. If, on any such date no market maker is making
a market in such shares, the fair value of such shares on such date as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be used. If such shares are not publicly held or not so listed or traded, “current
market price” per share shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be
conclusive for all purposes. The term “Trading Day” shall mean, if such shares are listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which such shares are
listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if such shares are not so listed or admitted, a Business Day. 
 (ii) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “current market price” per share of Preferred Stock shall be determined in the same manner as set forth above for Company Common Stock in
Section 11(d)(i) (other than the fourth sentence thereof). If the current market price per share of Preferred Stock cannot be determined in the 

  
 17 









 
manner provided above or if the Preferred Stock is not publicly held or listed or traded in a manner described in Section 11(d)(i), the “current market price” per share of
Preferred Stock shall be conclusively deemed to be an amount equal to 1,000 (as such amount may be appropriately adjusted for such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to Company Common Stock occurring after the
Rights Dividend Declaration Date) multiplied by the current market price per share of Company Common Stock. If neither Company Common Stock nor Preferred Stock is publicly held or so listed or traded, “current market price” per share of
the Preferred Stock shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the
Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. For all purposes of this Agreement, the “current market price” of a Unit of Preferred Stock shall be equal to the “current market price” of one share of Preferred Stock divided by
1,000. 
 (e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one one-hundredth of a share of Company Common Stock or Common Stock or other
share or one one-hundred-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the
earlier of (i) three years from the date of the transaction that mandates such adjustment and (ii) the Expiration Date. 
 (f) If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) or Section 13(a), the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares
of capital stock other than Preferred Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right and the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Stock contained in Sections 11(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l) and (m), and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14
with respect to the Preferred Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. 
 (g) All Rights
originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of Units of Preferred Stock (or other securities or amount of cash or
combination thereof) that may be acquired from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 
 (h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in Sections 11(b)
and (c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted 

  
 18 









 
Purchase Price, that number of Units of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest one one-hundred-thousandth of a Unit) obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of Units of Preferred
Stock covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price. 
 (i) The Company may elect on or after the date of any
adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights, in lieu of any adjustment in the number of Units of Preferred Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after the adjustment in the number
of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of
Rights (calculated to the nearest one one-hundred-thousandth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price.
The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which
the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least ten days later than the date of such public announcement. If Rights Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the
number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Rights Certificates on such record date Rights Certificates evidencing, subject to
Section 14, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the
Rights Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Rights
Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein (and may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Purchase Price) and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record
of Rights Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. 
 (j) Irrespective of any
adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price per Unit and the
number of Units of Preferred Stock that were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder without prejudice to any such adjustment or change. 
 (k) Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the then-par value of the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company
shall take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue such fully paid and non-assessable number of Units of Preferred Stock at such adjusted Purchase Price.


  
 19 









 (l) In any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an
adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of that number
of Units of Preferred Stock and shares of other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Units of Preferred Stock and shares of other capital stock or securities of the Company, if
any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such
holder’s right to receive such additional shares (fractional or otherwise) or securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
 (m) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly
required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that in their good faith judgment a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) consolidation or subdivision of the
Preferred Stock, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any shares of Preferred Stock at less than the current market price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of shares of Preferred Stock or securities that by their terms are convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Preferred Stock, (iv) stock dividends or (v) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, hereafter made by the Company to holders of its Preferred Stock, shall not be
taxable to such holders or shall reduce the taxes payable by such holders. 
 (n) The Company shall not, at any
time after the Distribution Date, (i) consolidate with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), (ii) merge with or into any other Person (other than a
Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), or (iii) sell or transfer (or permit any Subsidiary to sell or transfer), in one transaction, or a series of transactions, assets or earning power
aggregating more than 50% of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which complies
with Section 11(o)), if (x) at the time of or immediately after such consolidation, merger or sale there are any rights, warrants or other instruments or securities outstanding or agreements in effect that would substantially
diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights or (y) prior to, simultaneously with or immediately after such consolidation, merger or sale, the Person that constitutes, or would constitute, the
“Principal Party” for purposes of Section 13(a) shall have distributed or otherwise transferred to its stockholders or other Persons holding an equity interest in such Person Rights previously owned by such Person or any of its
Affiliates and Associates; provided, however, that this Section 11(n) shall not affect the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell or transfer assets or earning power to,
any other Subsidiary of the Company. 
 (o) After the Distribution Date, the Company shall not, except as
permitted by Section 23 or Section 26, take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time 

  
 20 









 
such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. 

(p) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Company shall at any time after the
Rights Dividend Declaration Date and prior to the Distribution Date (i) declare a dividend on the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock payable in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of Company Common Stock (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation), the number of Rights associated with each share of Company Common Stock then outstanding, or issued or delivered thereafter but prior to the
Distribution Date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the number of Rights thereafter associated with each share of Company Common Stock following any such event shall equal the result obtained by multiplying the number of Rights associated
with each share of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such event by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of the event and the denominator
of which shall be the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately following the occurrence of such event. 
 SECTION 12. Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Section 11 or Section 13, the Company shall
(a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Rights Agent, and with each transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and the
Company Common Stock, a copy of such certificate, and (c) make available a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Rights Certificate (or, if prior to the Distribution Date, to each holder of a certificate evidencing shares of Company Common
Stock) in accordance with Section 25. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until
it shall have received such certificate. 
 SECTION 13. Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning
Power. (a) In the event that, following the Stock Acquisition Date, directly or indirectly, either (x) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with and into, any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a
transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, (y) any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that
complies with Section 11(o)) shall consolidate with, or merge with or into, the Company, and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger and, in connection with such consolidation or
merger, all or part of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (z) the Company shall sell or otherwise transfer (or
one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer) to any Person or Persons (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which complies with Section 11(o)), in one or more
transactions, assets or earning power aggregating more than 50% 

  
 21 









 
of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (any such event described in clause (x), (y) or (z) being a “Section 13
Event”), then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that: (i) each holder of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(e), shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then
current Purchase Price, such number of validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Principal Party, which shares shall not be subject to any liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, transfer
restrictions or other adverse claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by (1) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right is exercisable immediately prior to the first
occurrence of a Section 13 Event (or, if a Section 11(a)(ii) Event has occurred prior to the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event, multiplying the number of such Units for which a Right would be exercisable hereunder but for the
occurrence of such Section 11(a)(ii) Event by the Purchase Price that would be in effect hereunder but for such first occurrence) and (2) dividing that product (which, following the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event, shall be the
“Purchase Price” for all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) per share of the Common Stock of such Principal Party on the date of consummation of such
Section 13 Event; (ii) such Principal Party shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such Section 13 Event, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the term
“Company” shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, thereafter be deemed to refer to such Principal Party, it being specifically intended that the provisions of Section 11 shall apply only to such Principal Party following the
first occurrence of a Section 13 Event; (iv) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including, but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock) in connection with the consummation of any such
transaction as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement shall thereafter be applicable to its shares of Common Stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights; and (v) the provisions of
Section 11(a)(ii) shall be of no further effect following the first occurrence of any Section 13 Event. 
 (b)
“Principal Party” shall mean: 
 (i) in the case of any transaction described in clause (x)
or (y) of the first sentence of Section 13(a), (A) the Person that is the issuer of any securities into which shares of Company Common Stock are converted in such merger or consolidation, or, if there is more than one such
issuer, the issuer of Common Stock that has the highest aggregate current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) and (B) if no securities are so issued, the Person that is the other party to such merger or
consolidation, or, if there is more than one such Person, the Person the Common Stock of which has the highest aggregate current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)); and 

(ii) in the case of any transaction described in clause (z) of the first sentence of Section 13(a), the
Person that is the party receiving the largest portion of the assets or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions, or, if each Person that is a party to such transaction or transactions receives the same portion of the
assets or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions or if the Person receiving the largest portion of the assets or earning power cannot be determined, whichever Person the Common Stock of which has the highest aggregate
current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)); provided, however, that in any such case, 

  
 22 









 
(1) if the Common Stock of such Person is not at such time and has not been continuously over the preceding twelve-month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act
(“Registered Common Stock”), or such Person is not a corporation, and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person that has Registered Common Stock outstanding, “Principal Party” shall refer to such
other Person; (2) if the Common Stock of such Person is not Registered Common Stock or such Person is not a corporation, and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person but is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another
Person that has Registered Common Stock outstanding, “Principal Party” shall refer to the ultimate parent entity of such first-mentioned Person; (3) if the Common Stock of such Person is not Registered Common Stock or such Person is
not a corporation, and such Person is directly or indirectly controlled by more than one Person, and one or more of such other Persons has Registered Common Stock outstanding, “Principal Party” shall refer to whichever of such other
Persons is the issuer of the Registered Common Stock having the highest aggregate current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)); and (4) if the Common Stock of such Person is not Registered Common Stock or such Person
is not a corporation, and such Person is directly or indirectly controlled by more than one Person, and none of such other Persons have Registered Common Stock outstanding, “Principal Party” shall refer to whichever ultimate parent entity
is the corporation having the greatest stockholders’ equity or, if no such ultimate parent entity is a corporation, shall refer to whichever ultimate parent entity is the entity having the greatest net assets. 

(c) The Company shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless the Principal Party shall have a sufficient
number of authorized shares of its Common Stock that have not been issued or reserved for issuance to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with this Section 13, and unless prior thereto the Company and such Principal
Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing for the terms set forth in Sections 13(a) and (b) and further providing that the Principal Party will: 

(i) (A) file on an appropriate form, as soon as practicable following the execution of such agreement, a registration
statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights, (B) cause such registration statement to remain effective (and to include a prospectus complying with the requirements of the
Securities Act) until the Expiration Date, and (C) as soon as practicable following the execution of such agreement take such action as may be required to ensure that any acquisition of such Common Stock upon the exercise of the Rights complies
with any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; and 
 (ii) deliver to holders of the Rights
historical financial statements for the Principal Party and each of its Affiliates that comply in all respects with the requirements for registration on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. 

(d) In case the Principal Party that is to be a party to a transaction referred to in this Section 13 has a provision in any
of its authorized securities or in its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or other instrument governing its corporate affairs, which provision would have the effect of (i) causing such Principal Party to issue, in connection with, or as a


  
 23 









 
consequence of, the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 13, shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party at less than the then current market price per share
(determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) or securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock of such Principal Party at less than such then current market price (other than to holders of Rights pursuant to this
Section 13) or (ii) providing for any special payment, tax or similar provisions in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock of such Principal Party pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13, then, in such
event, the Company shall not consummate any such transaction unless prior thereto the Company and such Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing that the provision in question of such
Principal Party shall have been cancelled, waived or amended, or that the authorized securities shall be redeemed, so that the applicable provision will have no effect in connection with, or as a consequence of, the consummation of the proposed
transaction. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations
or sales or other transfers. In the event that a Section 13 Event shall occur at any time after the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, the Rights that have not theretofore been exercised shall thereafter become exercisable in the
manner described in Section 13(a). 
 SECTION 14. Fractional Rights, Units and Shares of Preferred
Stock. (a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Rights Certificates that evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights, there shall be paid to the Persons to which such fractional
Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to such fraction of the market value of a whole Right. For purposes of this Section 14(a), the market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable. The closing price of the Rights for any day shall be, if the Rights are listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange, as
reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or admitted to trading or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to
trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the NASDAQ National Market or such other system then in use or,
if on any such date the Rights are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Rights selected by a majority of the Company’s Board of
Directors. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Rights, the fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be used and such determination
shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. 
 (b) The Company shall
not be required to issue fractions of Units or of shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that
evidence such fractional Units or shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock). In lieu of such fractional Units or of shares of Preferred Stock (other than
fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock), the Company may pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates, 

  
 24 









 
at the time such Rights are exercised or exchanged as herein provided, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the then current market price of a Unit or of a share of Preferred Stock on
the day of exercise or exchange, determined in accordance with Section 11(d). 
 (c) The holder of a Right by the
acceptance of such Right expressly waives his right to receive any fractional Rights or any fractional Units or shares upon exercise or exchange of a Right. 
 SECTION 15. Rights of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, other than rights of action vested in the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 18, are vested in the
respective registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the registered holders of shares of Company Common Stock); and any registered holder of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of
shares of Company Common Stock), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of shares of Company Common Stock), may, on such registered holder’s own behalf and
for such registered holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company or any other Person to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such registered holder’s right to exercise
the Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate in the manner provided in such Rights Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the
holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and shall be entitled to specific performance of the obligations hereunder and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations
hereunder of any Person subject to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 16. Agreement of Rights Holders. Every holder of a
Right by accepting the same consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that: 
 (a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of Company Common Stock; 

(b) after the Distribution Date, the Rights Certificates will be transferable only on the registry books of the Rights
Agent if surrendered at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purposes, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer and with the appropriate forms and certificates duly executed; 

(c) subject to Section 6(a) and Section 7(f), the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat
the Person in whose name any Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Company Common Stock) is registered, as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby for all purposes whatsoever (notwithstanding
any notations of ownership or writing on any Rights Certificate, any associated Company Common Stock certificate or any associated Ownership Statement made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent), and neither the Company nor the Rights
Agent, subject to the last sentence of Section 7(e), shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and 

  
 25 









 (d) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the
Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or any other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other
order, decree, judgment or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental
authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation; provided, however, that the Company must use its best efforts to have any such order, decree, judgment or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as promptly
as practicable. 
 SECTION 17. Rights Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. No holder, as such, of any Rights
Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the number of shares of Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Rights
evidenced thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Rights Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Rights Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of
directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or, except as provided in Section 24, to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
stockholders, or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. 
 SECTION 18. Concerning the Rights
Agent. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses, including reasonable fees and
disbursements of its counsel, incurred in connection with the execution and administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company shall indemnify the Rights Agent for, and hold it harmless against,
any loss, liability, or expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this
Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability hereunder. 
 (b) The Rights Agent shall
be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any Rights Certificate or certificate or depositary receipt for
Preferred Stock or for other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged by the proper Person or Persons. 

SECTION 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. (a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent
or any successor Rights Agent may be merged, converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust or shareholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under 

  
 26 









 
this Agreement without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment
as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not
delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of a predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned,
any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights
Certificates and in this Agreement. 
 (b) In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time
any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights
Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the
Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. 
 SECTION 20. Duties of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes the
duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 

(a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such
counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 

(b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable
that any fact or matter (including, without limitation, the identity of any Acquiring Person and the determination of “current market price”) be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such
fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specified herein) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer, any
Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the
provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 
 (c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder
only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct. 
 (d) The Rights Agent shall not be
liable for or, by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Rights Certificates, be 

  
 27 









 
required to verify the same (except as to its countersignature on such Rights Certificates), but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.

 (e) The Rights Agent shall not have any responsibility for the validity of this Agreement or the execution and
delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or for the validity or execution of any Rights Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any
covenant or failure by the Company to satisfy conditions contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any adjustment required under the provisions of Section 11 or Section 13 or
for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates after receipt by the Rights
Agent of the certificate describing any such adjustment contemplated by Section 12); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Preferred
Stock or any other securities to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Rights Certificate or as to whether any shares of Preferred Stock or any other securities will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. 
 (f) The Company shall perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the performance by the Rights Agent of its duties under this Agreement. 

(g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its
duties hereunder from the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in
connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer. Any application by the Rights Agent for written instructions from the
Company may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Rights Agent under this Rights Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be
effective. The Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less
than five Business Days after the date any such officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an earlier date) unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in
the case of an omission), the Rights Agent shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

(h) The Rights Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any
of the Rights or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may 

  
 28 









 
be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights
Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person. 
 (i) The Rights Agent may
execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents. 
 (j) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of
its rights hereunder if the Rights Agent shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 

(k) If, with respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise or transfer, the certificate
attached to the form of assignment or form of election to purchase, as the case may be, has either not been completed, not signed or indicates an affirmative response to clause 1 and/or 2 thereof, the Rights Agent shall not take any further
action with respect to such requested exercise or transfer without first consulting with the Company. If such certificate has been completed and signed and shows a negative response to clauses 1 and 2 of such certificate, unless previously
instructed otherwise in writing by the Company (which instructions may impose on the Rights Agent additional ministerial responsibilities, but no discretionary responsibilities), the Rights Agent may assume without further inquiry that the Rights
Certificate is not owned by a person described in Section 4(b) or Section 7(e) and shall not be charged with any knowledge to the contrary. 
 SECTION 21. Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty days’ prior notice in
writing mailed to the Company, and to each transfer agent of the Preferred Stock and the Company Common Stock, by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates (or holders of the Company Common Stock prior to the
Distribution Date) by first-class mail. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty days’ prior notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each
transfer agent of the Preferred Stock and the Company Common Stock, by registered or certified mail, and will notify the holders of the Rights Certificates (or the holders of the Company Common Stock prior to the Distribution Date). If the Rights
Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty days after giving notice of such
removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by a holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall submit such holder’s Rights Certificate for inspection by the
Company) or, prior to the Distribution Date, a holder of Company Common Stock, then any registered holder of any Rights Certificate or, prior to the Distribution Date, the holder of Company Common Stock, may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by 

  
 29 









 
such a court, shall be (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States in good standing, shall be authorized to do
business as a banking institution in the State of New York, shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers, shall be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and shall have at
the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 or (b) an Affiliate of a corporation described in clause (a). After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same
powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it
hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights
Agent and each transfer agent of the Preferred Stock and the Company Common Stock, and notify the registered holders of the Rights Certificates (or holders of the Company Common Stock prior to the Distribution Date). Failure to give any notice
provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent. 

SECTION 22. Issuance of New Rights Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Rights to the
contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Rights Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change made in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement in the Purchase Price or the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property that may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights. In addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Company
Common Stock following the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company (a) shall, with respect to shares of Company Common Stock so issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of stock options or under any employee plan or
arrangement, or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities hereinafter issued by the Company, and (b) may, in any other case, if deemed necessary or appropriate by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, issue Rights
Certificates evidencing the appropriate number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale; provided, however, that (i) no such Rights Certificate shall be issued if, and to the extent that, the Company shall be advised by
counsel that such issuance would create a significant risk of material adverse tax consequences to the Company or the Person to whom such Rights Certificate would be issued and (ii) no such Rights Certificate shall be issued if, and to the
extent that, appropriate adjustment shall otherwise have been made in lieu of the issuance thereof. 
 SECTION 23.
Redemption and Termination. (a) Subject to Section 28, the Company may, at its option, by action of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on
the Stock Acquisition Date or (ii) the Final Expiration Date (such date, the “Redemption Date”), redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $.01 per Right, as such amount may be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date (such redemption price being the “Redemption Price”), and the Company may, at its option,
by action of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, pay the Redemption Price either in shares of Company Common Stock (based on the current market price, determined in accordance with Section 11(d), of the shares of Company


  
 30 









 
Common Stock at the time of redemption) or cash. Subject to the foregoing, the redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion may establish. 
 (b) Immediately upon the action of a majority of the Company’s Board of
Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, evidence of which shall be filed with the Rights Agent, and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the
holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price for each Right so held. Promptly after the action of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of such
redemption to the Rights Agent and the holders of the then outstanding Rights. Any notice that is given in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption will state the
method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. 
 SECTION 24. Notice of Certain Events.
(a) In case the Company shall propose, at any time after the Distribution Date, (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of Preferred Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of Preferred Stock
(other than a regular quarterly cash dividend out of earnings or retained earnings of the Company), (ii) to offer to the holders of Preferred Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional shares of Preferred Stock or
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of the Preferred Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock),
(iv) to effect any consolidation or merger into or with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more
of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of more than 50% of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the Company
and/or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which complies with Section 11(o)) or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to
each holder of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, to each holder of Company Common Stock), to the extent feasible and in accordance with Section 25, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record
date for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution of rights or warrants, or the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution or winding up is to take place and the date of
participation therein by the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least 20 days prior to the record
date for determining holders of the shares of Preferred Stock for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action, at least 20 days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the
holders of the shares of Preferred Stock, whichever shall be the earlier; provided, however, that no such notice shall be required pursuant to this Section 24 in relation to a transaction in which any Subsidiary of the
Company effects a consolidation or merger with or into, or effects a sale or other transfer of assets or earning power to, any other Subsidiary of the Company.

 (b) In case any of the events set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) shall occur, then,
in any such case, the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each holder of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, to each holder of Company Common Stock), to the extent feasible and in accordance with
Section 25, a notice of the occurrence of such event, which shall specify the event and the consequences of the event to holders of Rights under Section 11(a)(ii).

postage prepaid, addressed to such holder at the address of such holder as shown on the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Company Common Stock. 

SECTION 26. Supplements and Amendments. Prior to the Distribution Date, the Company may and the Rights Agent shall, if the
Company so directs, supplement or amend any provision of this Agreement without the approval of any holders of shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Distribution Date the Company may and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so
directs, supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights Certificates in order (a) to cure any ambiguity, (b) to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or inconsistent
with any other provisions 

  
 32 









 
herein, (c) to shorten or lengthen any time period hereunder or (d) to change or supplement the provisions hereunder in any manner which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and
which shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights (other than an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person); provided, however, that this Agreement may not be supplemented or amended to
lengthen, pursuant to clause (c) of this sentence, (i) subject to Section 30, a time period relating to when the Rights may be redeemed at such time as the Rights are not then redeemable or (ii) any other time period
unless such lengthening is for the purpose of protecting, enhancing or clarifying the rights of, and/or the benefits to, the holders of Rights. Upon the delivery of a certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company or, so long as any Person
is an Acquiring Person hereunder, from the majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, that states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 26, the Rights Agent shall execute such
supplement or amendment. Prior to the Distribution Date, the interests of the holders of Rights shall be deemed coincident with the interests of the holders of Company Common Stock. 

SECTION 27. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Rights
Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. 
 SECTION 28.
Determinations and Actions by the Board of Directors, Etc. For all purposes of this Agreement, any calculation of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at any particular time, including for purposes of determining the
particular percentage of such outstanding shares of Company Common Stock of which any Person is the Beneficial Owner, shall be made in accordance with the last sentence of Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act Regulations as in effect on the
date hereof. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the exclusive power and authority to administer this Agreement and to exercise all rights and powers specifically granted to the Board of
Directors of the Company or to the Company, or as may be necessary or advisable in the administration of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right and power (i) to interpret the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) to make
all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations (including, for purposes of clause (y) below, all omissions with respect to the
foregoing) that are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall (x) be final, conclusive and binding on the Company, the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all other parties, and (y) not subject the Board of
Directors of the Company or any member thereof to any liability to the holders of the Rights. 
 SECTION 29. Benefits of
this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, registered holders of shares
of Company Common Stock) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and,
prior to the Distribution Date, registered holders of shares of Company Common Stock). 
 SECTION 30. Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or 

  
 33 









 
unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is held by such court or authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable and a majority of the
Company’s Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment that severing the invalid language from this Agreement would adversely affect the purpose or effect of this Agreement and the Rights shall not then be redeemable, the right of
redemption set forth in Section 23 shall be reinstated and shall not expire until the Close of Business on the tenth Business Day following the date of such determination by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 SECTION 31. Governing Law. This Agreement, each Right and each Rights Certificate issued hereunder shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that Sections 18, 19, 20 and 21 shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 SECTION 32. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed (including by facsimile) in one or more counterparts,
and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

SECTION 33. Descriptive Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for descriptive purposes only and shall not
affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 34. Exchange. (a) (i) The
Company may, at its option, at any time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person, upon resolution adopted by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, exchange all or part of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall
not include Rights that have become null and void pursuant to Section 7(e)) for Units of Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio of one Unit of Preferred Stock per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or
similar transaction occurring after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the “Section 34(a)(i) Exchange Ratio”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect the
exchange described in this Section 34(a)(i) at any time after any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any trustee or fiduciary
with respect to such plan acting in such capacity), together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. 

(ii) The Company may, at its option, at any time after any person becomes an Acquiring Person, upon resolution adopted by a majority of
the Company’s Board of Directors, exchange all or part of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become null and void pursuant to Section 7(e)) for Units of Preferred Stock at an
exchange ratio specified in the following sentence. Each Right may be exchanged for that number of Units of Preferred Stock obtained by dividing the Adjustment Spread (as defined below) by the then-current market price (determined pursuant to
Section 11(d)) per Unit of Preferred Stock on the earlier of (i) the date on which any Person becomes an Acquiring Person 

  
 34 









 
and (ii) the date on which a tender or exchange offer by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such capacity) is commenced within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act Regulations or any successor rule, if upon consummation thereof such Person would be
the Beneficial Owner of 12% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (such exchange ratio being the “Section 34(a)(ii) Exchange Ratio”). The “Adjustment Spread” shall equal (x) the
aggregate market price on the date of such event of the number of Adjustment Shares determined pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii), minus (y) the Purchase Price. 
 (iii) Without limiting the foregoing, prior to effecting an exchange pursuant to this Section 27, the Company’s Board of Directors may direct the Company to enter into a Trust Agreement in such
form and with such terms as the Board shall then approve (the “Trust Agreement”). If the Company’s Board of Directors so directs, the Company shall enter into the Trust Agreement and shall issue to the trust created by such
agreement (the “Trust”) all of the Units Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the exchange (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been issued in connection with the exchange). From and after the time at which such Units of
Preferred Stock are issued to the Trust, all Rights holders then entitled to receive Units of Preferred Stock pursuant to the exchange shall be entitled to receive such Units of Preferred Stock (and any dividends or distributions made thereon after
the date on which such Units of Preferred Stock are deposited in the Trust) only from the Trust and solely upon compliance with the relevant terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. Any Units of Preferred Stock issued at the direction of the
Company’s Board of Directors in connection herewith shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration for such issuance a benefit having a value that is at least equal to
the aggregate par value of the Units of Preferred Stock so issued. 
 (b) Immediately upon the action of a majority of the
Company’s Board of Directors ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to Section 34(a) and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a
holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Units of Preferred Stock equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Section 34(a)(i) Exchange Ratio or Section 34(a)(ii) Exchange Ratio, as the case may
be. The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange; provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such exchange. Any notice that is given in the manner
herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange shall state the method by which the exchange of Units of Preferred Stock for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial
exchange, the number of Rights that will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights that have become null and void pursuant to Section 7(e)) held by each holder of
Rights. 
 (c) In the event that the number of shares of Preferred Stock that are authorized by the Company’s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights are not sufficient to permit any exchange of Rights as contemplated in accordance with this Section 34, the
Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize additional shares of Preferred Stock 

  
 35 









 
for issuance upon exchange of the Rights or make adequate provision to substitute (1) cash, (2) Company Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, (3) debt securities
of the Company, (4) other assets or (5) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal to the Adjustment Spread, where such aggregate value has been determined by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors.

RIGHTS CERTIFICATE 
 WEBMD HEALTH CORP. 
 This certifies that
                    , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of Rights set forth above, each of which entitles the
registered holder thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2011 (the “Rights Agreement”; terms defined therein are used herein with the same meaning unless otherwise defined
herein), between WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company, as Rights Agent (which term shall include any
successor Rights Agent under the Rights Agreement), to purchase from the Company at any time after the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date at the office of the Rights Agent, one one-thousandth of a fully paid and non-assessable share
(each such one one-thousandth of a share being a “Unit”) of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company at the Purchase Price initially of $153.00 per Unit of
Preferred Stock, upon presentation and surrender of this Rights Certificate with the Election to Purchase, and, if necessary, the Assignment, and the related certificate duly executed. The number of Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate (and
the number of Units that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) set forth above, and the Purchase Price per Unit set forth above, shall be subject to adjustment in certain events as provided in the Rights Agreement. 

Upon the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event or a Section 13 Event, if the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate are

 A-1









 Rights shall become null and void and no holder hereof shall have any right with respect to such Rights from
and after the occurrence of such Section 11(a)(ii) Event. 
 In certain circumstances described in the Rights Agreement,
the Rights evidenced hereby may entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase capital stock of an entity other than the Company or to receive common stock, cash or other assets, all as provided in the Rights Agreement. 

This Rights Certificate is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement, which terms and conditions are hereby
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and to which Rights Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities hereunder of the Rights Agent, the Company
and the holders of the Rights Certificates. Copies of the Rights Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company and are available from the Company upon written request. 

This Rights Certificate, with or without other Rights Certificates, upon surrender at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such
purpose, may be exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates of like tenor and date evidencing an aggregate number of Rights equal to the aggregate number of Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates
surrendered. If this Rights Certificate shall be exercised in part, the registered holder shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender hereof, another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates for the number of whole Rights not exercised.

 Subject to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, the Rights evidenced by this Certificate may be redeemed by the Company
under certain circumstances at its option at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right, payable at the Company’s option in cash or in common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment in certain events as provided in the Rights Agreement.

 No fractional shares of Units or Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a
share of Preferred Stock) will be issued upon the exercise of any Right or Rights evidenced hereby, but in lieu thereof a cash payment will be made, as provided in the Rights Agreement. 

No holder of this Rights Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of
Preferred Stock or of any other securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof, nor shall anything contained in the Rights Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other
actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in the Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate shall have been exercised as provided in the Rights
Agreement.

 EXHIBIT B 
 SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE 
 PREFERRED STOCK 

On November 2, 2011, the Board of Directors of WebMD Health Corp. (the “Company”) declared a distribution of one
Right (each, a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2011 (the
“Record Date”) and for each share of Company Common Stock issued (including shares distributed from Treasury) by the Company thereafter and prior to the Distribution Date (as defined below). Each Right entitles the registered
holder, subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement (as defined below), to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred
Stock”), at a purchase price of $153.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is payable in cash or by certified or bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer to
the account of the Company (provided a notice of such wire transfer is given by the holder of the related Right to the Rights Agent). The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”; terms defined therein are used herein with the same meaning unless otherwise defined herein). 

A copy of the Rights Agreement (including the Form of Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Stock as Exhibit C) has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-A dated November 3, 2011. Copies of the Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation are available free of charge from the Company. This summary
description of the Rights and the Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the Rights Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, including the definitions therein of
certain terms, which Rights Agreement and Certificate of Designation are incorporated herein by reference. 
 The Rights Agreement

 Initially, the Rights will attach to all shares of outstanding Company Common Stock, and no separate Rights Certificates
(as defined below) will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Company Common Stock and the distribution date (the “Distribution Date”) will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 days following a public announcement (the
date of such announcement being the “Stock Acquisition Date”) that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (other than the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company or such
subsidiary) (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, obtained the right to acquire, or otherwise obtained beneficial ownership of 12% or more of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, and (ii) 10 business days (or
such later date as 

  
 B-1









 
may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would
result in a person or group beneficially owning 12% or more of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. For purposes of the Rights Agreement, beneficial ownership is defined to include ownership of the shares underlying options,
warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation rights, swap agreements or other securities or contract rights or certain derivative positions, whether or not currently exercisable. For so long as a person that beneficially owns 12% or more of
the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of the execution date of the Rights Agreement continues to beneficially own 12% or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, such person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person
unless and until such person acquires additional shares of Company Common Stock representing 1.0% of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. A person will not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person under the Rights Agreement if it becomes
the beneficial owner of 12% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock solely because of a change in the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock since the last date on which such person acquired beneficial ownership of
any shares of Company Common Stock and who has not acquired beneficial ownership of any additional shares since the date on which such person became such a beneficial owner. In addition, a person will also not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person if
it becomes the beneficial owner of 12% or more of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock solely because such person acquired such beneficial ownership in the good faith belief that the acquisition would not (i) cause its beneficial
ownership to equal or exceed 12% of the shares of the Company Common Stock then outstanding and such person relied in good faith in computing the percentage of its beneficial ownership on publicly filed reports or documents of the Company that are
inaccurate or out-of-date or (ii) otherwise cause the rights to become exercisable, so long as such person reduces its beneficial ownership to less than 12% of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as promptly as practicable.

 Until the Distribution Date, (x) the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) of the
Rights Agreement) by the certificates for shares of Company Common Stock registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates also shall be deemed to be Right Certificates), or by a current ownership statement issued with respect to
uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock in lieu of such a certificate (an “Ownership Statement” ), and not by separate Rights Certificates, and (y) the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of
the underlying shares of Company Common Stock (including a transfer to the Company). 
 Until the Distribution Date (or earlier
redemption or expiration of the Rights), new certificates or Ownership Statements for shares of Company Common Stock issued after the Record Date will contain a legend incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date (or
earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for transfer of any certificates for shares of Company Common Stock, or the transfer of any shares of Company Common Stock covered by an Ownership Statement, outstanding as of the Record
Date, even without such legend or a copy of this Summary of Rights being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificate or covered by such
Ownership Statement. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be mailed to holders of record of the Company Common Stock as of the close of
business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will evidence the Rights. 
 The Rights are not
exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on November 1, 2012 unless earlier redeemed by the Company or unless the Rights Agreement is amended, each as described below. 

In the event that a Person becomes an Acquiring Person (a “Section 11(a)(ii) Event”), then each holder of a Right
will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Units of Preferred Stock (or, in certain circumstances, Company Common Stock, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right. The exercise price is the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of a Right prior to the events described in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of
any of the events set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. 

  
 B-2









 In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company is
acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction and the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) any Person consolidates or merges with the Company and all or part of the Company Common Stock is converted or exchanged for
securities, cash or property of any other Person or (iii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as described above) shall
thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the ultimate parent of the Acquiring Person having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. 

The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment
from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Stock, (ii) if holders of the Preferred Stock are granted certain rights or warrants to
subscribe for Preferred Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market price of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to the holders of the Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets (excluding
regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). 
 No adjustment
in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. The Company is not required to issue fractions of Units or of shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral
multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that evidence such fractional Units or shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one
one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock). In lieu of such fractions of Units or of shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock), the Company may pay to the
registered holders of Rights Certificates, at the time such Rights are exercised or exchanged, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the then current market price of a Unit or of a share of Preferred Stock on the day of exercise or
exchange. 
 At any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Stock Acquisition Date or (ii) the Final Expiration Date, a
majority of the Company’s Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right (subject to adjustment in certain events) (the “Redemption Price”), payable, at the election of such
majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, in cash or shares of Company Common Stock. Immediately upon the action of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the
only remaining right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. 
 The Board of Directors, at its option,
may exchange each Right for (i) one Unit of Preferred Stock or (ii) such number of Units of Preferred Stock as will equal (x) the difference between the aggregate market price of the number of Units of Preferred Stock to be received
upon a Section 11(a)(ii) Event and the purchase price set forth in the Rights Agreement, divided by (y) the market price per Unit of Preferred Stock upon a Section 11(a)(ii) Event. 

  
 B-3









 Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances,
recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Units of Preferred Stock (or other consideration). 

Any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement (including the expiration date of the Rights) may be amended without the approval of the
holders of Company Common Stock at any time prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended in order to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to make changes that do not
adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person), or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment to adjust the time period
governing redemption shall be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable. 
 Description of Preferred Stock 

The Units of Preferred Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights will be nonredeemable and subordinate to any other shares of
preferred stock that may be issued by the Company. 
 Each Unit of Preferred Stock will have a minimum preferential quarterly
dividend of $0.01 per Unit or any higher per share dividend declared on the Company Common Stock. 
 In the event of
liquidation, the holder of a Unit of Preferred Stock will receive a preferred liquidation payment equal to the greater of $0.01 per Unit and the per share amount paid in respect of a share of Company Common Stock. 

Each Unit of Preferred Stock will have one vote, voting together with the Company Common Stock. The holders of Units of Preferred Stock,
voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two directors if dividends on the Preferred Stock are in arrears for six fiscal quarters. 
 In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of Company Common Stock are exchanged, each Unit of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the per share amount paid in
respect of each share of Company Common Stock. 
 The rights of holders of the Preferred Stock to dividends, liquidation and
voting, and in the event of mergers and consolidations, are protected by customary antidilution provisions. 
 Because of the
nature of the Preferred Stock’s dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the economic value of one Unit of Preferred Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of each Right is expected to approximate the economic value of one share of
Company Common Stock.

I, ___________, ____________ of WebMD Health Corp., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the “Corporation”), DO HEREBY CERTIFY: 
 that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of
Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) by its Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”), and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, the Board of Directors, at a duly called meeting held on November 2, 2011, at which a quorum was present and acted throughout, adopted the following resolutions, which resolutions remain in full force and effect on the date
hereof, creating a series of shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.01 per share, designated as Series A Junior Preferred Stock (the “Series A Junior Preferred Stock”) out of the class of 50,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”): 
 RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested
in the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate, the Board of Directors does hereby create, authorize and provide for the issuance of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock having the voting powers, designation, relative,
participating, optional and other special rights, preferences, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof that are set forth as follows: 
 Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Junior Preferred Stock” and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 500,000.

 Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares
of any other series of Preferred Stock or any other shares of preferred stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Junior Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, each holder of one one-thousandth
(1/1,000) of a share (a “Unit”) of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, (i) quarterly dividends


  
 C-1









 
payable in cash on the last day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of such Unit of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, in an amount per Unit (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $0.01 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth, the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends declared on shares of the Company Common Stock (as defined below) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of a Unit of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, and (ii) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, quarterly distributions (payable in kind) on each Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date in an amount per Unit equal to the aggregate per share amount of all non-cash dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend payable in shares of Company Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock,
by reclassification or otherwise) declared on shares of Company Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of a Unit of Series
A Junior Preferred Stock. In the event that the Corporation shall at any time after November 2, 2011 (the “Rights Declaration Date”) (i) declare any dividend on outstanding shares of Company Common Stock payable in shares
of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or (iii) combine outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which the holder of a Unit
of Series A Junior Preferred Stock was entitled immediately prior to such event pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common
Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph
(A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the shares of Company Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Company Common Stock); provided, however, that, in the event no dividend or
distribution shall have been declared on the Company Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $0.01 per Unit on the Series A Junior Preferred
Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. 
 (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue
and shall be cumulative on each outstanding Unit of Series A Junior Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issuance of such Unit of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, unless the date of issuance of such
Unit is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case, dividends on such Unit shall begin to accrue from the date of issuance of such Unit, or unless the date of issuance is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
in which case such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock in an amount less than
the aggregate amount of all such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such Units shall be allocated pro rata on a Unit-by-Unit basis among all Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a
record date for the determination of holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock entitled 

  
 C-2









 
to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. 

Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

 (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each Unit of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall entitle
the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on outstanding shares of Company
Common Stock payable in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the
number of votes per Unit to which holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

(B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of
Company Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. 

(C) (i) If, at any time, dividends on any Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six
quarterly dividends thereon, then during the period (a “default period”) from the occurrence of such event until such time as all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly
dividend period on all Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, all holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall have the right
to elect two Directors. 
 (ii) During any default period, such voting rights of the holders of Units of Series A Junior
Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of stockholders, provided that neither
such voting rights nor any right of the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of Directors may be exercised at any meeting unless one-third of the outstanding Units of Series A
Junior Preferred Stock shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Company Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock of such rights. At
any meeting at which the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting rights initially during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect Directors to fill up to two
vacancies in the Board of Directors, if any such vacancies may then exist, or, if such right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two Directors. If the number which may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the required
number, the holders of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have the right to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number.


  
 C-3









 
After the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors during any default period, the number of Directors shall not be increased or
decreased except as approved by a vote of the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Junior Preferred Stock. 

(iii) Unless the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised
their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than 25% of the total number of the Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock outstanding may request, the calling
of a special meeting of the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Units of Series A
Junior Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph (C)(iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to such stockholder at the address as the same
appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such order or request, or, in default of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or
request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any holder or holders owning in the aggregate not less than 25% of the total number of outstanding Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph
(C)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders. 
 (iv) During any default period, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, and other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if applicable, shall
continue to be entitled to elect all the Directors until holders of the Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two Directors voting as a separate class, after the exercise of which right (x) the
Directors so elected by the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the
Board of Directors may (except as provided in paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3) be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the holders of the class of capital stock that elected the Director whose
office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph (C) to Directors elected by the holders of a particular class of capital stock shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause (y) of
the foregoing sentence. 
 (v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Units
of Series A Junior Preferred Stock as a separate class to elect Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any Directors elected by the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock as a separate class shall terminate, and (z) the number
of Directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the Certificate or by-laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3 (such number being subject, however, to change thereafter
in any manner provided by law or in the Certificate or by-laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors.


  
 C-4









 (vi) The provisions of this paragraph (C) shall govern the election of Directors by
holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock during any default period notwithstanding any provisions of the Certificate to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Articles IV and X of the Certificate. 

(D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their
consents shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of shares of Company Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. 

Section 4. Certain Restrictions. (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on Units of
Series A Junior Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on outstanding Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have been
paid in full, the Corporation shall not: 
 (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or
redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of junior stock; 
 (ii) declare or pay
dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of parity stock, except dividends paid ratably on Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock and shares of all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to
the total amounts to which the holders of such Units and all such shares are then entitled; 
 (iii) redeem or
purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any parity stock; provided, however, that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any
junior stock; or 
 (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Units of Series A Junior Preferred
Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such Units. 
 (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under
paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. 
 Section
5. Reacquired Shares. Any Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such Units shall, upon
their cancellation, become part of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions
and restrictions on issuance set forth herein. 
 Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be 

  
 C-5









 
made (i) to the holders of shares of junior stock unless the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall have received, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in
paragraph (B), the greater of either (a) $0.01 per Unit plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not earned or declared, to the date of such payment, or (b) the amount equal to the
aggregate per share amount to be distributed to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, or (ii) to the holders of shares of parity stock, unless simultaneously therewith distributions are made ratably on Units of Series A Junior Preferred
Stock and all other shares of such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock are entitled under clause (i)(a) of this sentence and to which the holders of shares of such parity
stock are entitled, in each case upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. 
 (B) In the event the Corporation shall, at
any time after the Rights Declaration Date, (i) declare any dividend on outstanding shares of Company Common Stock payable in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, or (iii) combine
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event pursuant to clause
(i)(b) of paragraph (A) of this Section 6 shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Company Common Stock are exchanged
for or converted into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged for or converted into an amount per Unit (subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Company Common Stock is converted or
exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on outstanding shares of Company Common Stock payable in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock, or (iii) combine outstanding Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or conversion of Units of
Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Section 8.
Redemption. The Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. 
 Section 9. Ranking. The Units
of Series A Junior Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Preferred Stock and to any other class of preferred stock that 

  
 C-6









 
hereafter may be issued by the Corporation as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series or class shall provide otherwise. 

Section 10. Amendment. The Certificate, including, without limitation, this resolution, shall not hereafter be amended, either
directly or indirectly, or through merger or consolidation with any other corporation or corporations in any manner that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior Preferred Stock so as to affect them
adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding Units of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class. 
 Section 11. Units. The Series A Junior Preferred Stock may be issued in Units, which Units shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s interest, to exercise voting rights, receive
dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior Preferred Stock. 
 Section 12. Certain Definitions. As used herein with respect to the Series A Junior Preferred Stock, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

(A) The term “Company Common Stock” shall mean the class of stock designated as the common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of the Corporation at the date hereof or any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassification of such common stock. 
 (B) The term “junior stock” (i) as used in Section 4, shall mean the Company Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter authorized
or issued over which the Series A Junior Preferred Stock has preference or priority as to the payment of dividends and (ii) as used in Section 6, shall mean the Company Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation over which the Series A Junior Preferred Stock has preference or priority in the distribution of assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 

(C) The term “parity stock” (i) as used in Section 4, shall mean any class or series of stock of the
Corporation hereafter authorized or issued ranking pari passu with the Series A Junior Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and (ii) as used in Section 6, shall mean any class or series of capital stock ranking
pari passu with the Series A Junior Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
