CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION 

OF 
 SERIES A CONVERTIBLE
PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK 
 OF 

HC2 HOLDINGS, INC. 
 The undersigned, Keith
Hladek, the Chief Operating Officer of HC2 Holdings, Inc. (including any successor in interest, the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
“DGCL”), does hereby certify, in accordance with Sections 103 and 151 of the DGCL, that the following resolutions were duly adopted by its Board of Directors (the “Board”) on May 29, 2014: 

WHEREAS, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), authorizes
20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable from time to time in one or more series; 

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board to provide by resolution for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more
series, the number of shares in each series, the voting powers, if any, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof; and 

WHEREAS, the Board desires, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to designate a new series of Preferred Stock, set the number of shares constituting such
series, and the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board hereby designates a new series of Preferred Stock, consisting of the number of shares set forth herein, with
the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to such series as follows: 

SECTION 1. Number; Designation; Rank. 

(a) This series of convertible participating preferred stock is designated as the “Series A Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock is 30,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share. 

(b) The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to the payment of dividends, redemption payments, rights (including as to
the distribution of assets) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or otherwise: 
 (i) senior in preference and
priority to the Common Stock and each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company, except for any class or series of Capital Stock hereafter issued in compliance with the terms hereof and the terms of which expressly provide that it will
rank senior to or on parity, without preference or priority, with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, redemption payments, rights (including as to the distribution of assets) upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Company, or otherwise (collectively with the Common Stock, the “Junior Securities”); 







 (ii) on parity, without preference and priority, with each other class or series of Capital
Stock of the Company hereafter issued in compliance with the terms hereof and the terms of which expressly provide that it will rank on parity, without preference or priority, with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of
dividends, redemption payments, rights (including as to the distribution of assets) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or otherwise (collectively, the “Parity Securities”); and 

(iii) junior in preference and priority to each other class or series of Preferred Stock or any other Capital Stock of the Company hereafter
issued in compliance with the terms hereof and the terms of which expressly provide that it will rank senior in preference or priority to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends, redemption payments, rights (including
as to the distribution of assets) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or otherwise (collectively, “Senior Securities”). 

SECTION 2. Dividends. 

(a) Cash Dividends. Holders shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends to
the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law, on each Preferred Share, cumulative cash dividends which accrue daily at a per annum rate of 7.50% on the Accrued Value of such Preferred Share (“Cash Dividends”). Such Cash
Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from the Issue Date. Cash Dividends shall be payable quarterly with respect to each Dividend Period in arrears on the first Dividend Payment Date after such Dividend Period. If and to the extent that
the Company does not for any reason (including because there are insufficient funds legally available for the payment of dividends) pay the entire Cash Dividend payable for a particular Dividend Period in cash on the applicable Dividend Payment Date
for such period (whether or not there are funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law or such dividends are declared by the Board), during the period in which such Cash
Dividend remains unpaid, an additional accreting dividend (the “Cash Accretion Dividends”) shall accrue and be payable at an annual rate equal to the Dividend Rate on the amount of the unpaid Cash Dividend through the daily addition
of such Cash Accretion Dividends to the Accrued Value (whether or not such Cash Accretion Dividends are declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends to the Company’s stockholders under
Delaware law). 
 (b) Accreting Dividends. In addition to the Cash Dividend, for each Dividend Period beginning on or
after the Issue Date, the Holders shall be entitled to receive on each Preferred Share additional dividends at the per annum rates set forth in this SECTION 2(b) (the “Basic Accreting Dividends” and, together with the Cash Accretion
Dividends, the Participating Accretion Dividends and the In-Kind Participating Dividends, the “Accreting Dividends”; the Accreting Dividends, together with the Cash Dividend and the Participating Dividends, the
“Dividends”). Basic Accreting Dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from the Issue Date. Basic Accreting Dividends shall be payable quarterly with respect to each Dividend Period in arrears on the first Dividend Payment Date
after such Dividend Period by the addition of such amount to the Accrued Value, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware
law. Such Basic Accreting Dividend for any Dividend Period shall be at a per annum rate (the “Accreting Dividend Rate”) determined as follows: 

  
 -2- 








 (i) If Net Asset Value as of the last day of any Dividend Period is less than
120% of Original Issue Date NAV, a per annum rate of 4.00% of the Accrued Value for the next succeeding Dividend Period; 

(ii) If Net Asset Value as of the last day of any Dividend Period is equal to or greater than 120% and less than or equal to
140% of Original Issue Date NAV, a per annum rate of 2.00% of the Accrued Value for the next succeeding Dividend Period; and 

(iii) If Net Asset Value as of the last day of any Dividend Period is greater than 140% of Original Issue Date NAV, no
additional per annum rate for the next succeeding Dividend Period; 
 provided, however, that (1) the Accreting Dividend Rate with respect to
the period from the Original Issue Date through June 30, 2014 shall be 4.00% of the Accrued Value and (2) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Accreting Dividend Rate shall be 7.25% of the Accrued Value during any
portion of any Dividend Period during which any of the following is true: (w) the Daily VWAP for the immediately preceding trading day was less than $1.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar events),
(x) the Common Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, (y) the Common Stock is not listed on an Exchange or (z) the Company is delinquent in the payment of any Cash Dividends; provided, that the
Company’s failure to comply with requirements (y) and (z) above will not trigger the increased Accreting Dividend Rate during the first year after the Original Issue Date. 

(c) Participating Cash Dividends. If the Company declares, makes or pays any cash dividend or distribution in respect of
the Common Stock (a “Common Dividend”), each Holder shall receive a dividend (in addition to the Dividends provided for by SECTION 2(a) and SECTION 2(b)) in respect of each Preferred Share held thereby, in an amount equal to the
product of (x) the amount of such Common Dividend paid per share of Common Stock, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable if such Preferred Share had been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to
the record date for such Common Dividend (such amount per share of Preferred Stock, the “Participating Cash Dividend”). Participating Cash Dividends shall be payable to Holders on the record date for such Common Dividend at the same
time and in the same manner as the Common Dividend triggering such Participating Cash Dividend is paid. If and to the extent that the Company does not for any reason pay the entire Participating Cash Dividend when the Common Dividend is paid to the
holders of Common Stock, during the period in which such Participating Cash Dividend remains unpaid, an additional accreting dividend (the “Participating Accretion Dividends”) shall accrue and be payable at an annual rate equal to
the Dividend Rate on the amount of the unpaid Participating Cash Dividend through the daily addition of such Participating Accretion Dividends to the Accrued Value (whether or not such Participating Accretion Dividends are declared by the Board and
whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law). 

  
 -3- 








 (d) In-Kind Participating Dividends. If the Company distributes shares of
its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, securities or property, in respect of the Common Stock (an “In-Kind Common Dividend”), including without limitation any spin-off of one or more subsidiaries or
businesses of the Company but excluding: (I) dividends or distributions referred to in SECTIONS 5(g)(i)(A) and 5(g)(i)(B); and (II) cash dividends with respect to which Holders are entitled to Participating Cash Dividends, then the Holders
shall receive in such distribution or other transaction, at the same time and in the same manner as holders of Common Stock, the same type and amount of consideration (the “In-Kind Participating Dividend” and, collectively with the
Participating Cash Dividend, the “Participating Dividends”) as Holders would have received if, immediately prior to the record date of such In-Kind Common Dividend, they had held the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares. To the extent that the Company establishes or adopts a stockholder rights plan or agreement (i.e., a “poison pill”), the Company shall ensure that the Holders will receive, as an In-Kind Participating
Dividend, rights under the stockholder rights plan or agreement with respect to any shares of Common Stock that at the time of such distribution would be issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. If and to the extent that the Company does
not for any reason pay the entire In-Kind Participating Dividend when the In-Kind Common Dividend is paid to the holders of Common Stock, during the period in which such In-Kind Participating Dividend remains unpaid, an additional accreting dividend
(the “In-Kind Accretion Dividends”) shall accrue and be payable at an annual rate equal to the Dividend Rate on the amount of the unpaid In-Kind Participating Dividend through the daily addition of such In-Kind Accretion Dividends
to the Accrued Value (whether or not such In-Kind Accretion Dividends are declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law). 

(e) Dividends (other than Participating Dividends) payable on the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of any Dividend
Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Dividends (other than Participating Dividends) payable on the Series A Preferred Stock on any date prior to the end of a Dividend Period,
and for the initial Dividend Period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and actual days elapsed over a 30-day month. 

(f) Cash Dividends and Accreting Dividends that are payable on Series A Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will
be payable to Holders of record on the applicable record date, which shall be the fifteenth (15th) calendar day before the applicable Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to any Cash
Dividends not paid on the scheduled Dividend Payment Date therefor, such record date fixed by the Board (or a duly authorized committee of the Board) that is not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to such date on which
such accrued and unpaid Cash Dividends are to be paid (each such record date, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day. 

  
 -4- 








 (g) The quarterly dividend periods with respect to Cash Dividends and Accreting
Dividends shall commence on and include January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (other than the initial Dividend Period, which shall commence on and include the Issue Date) and shall end on and include the last
calendar day of the calendar quarter ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 preceding the next Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Period”). 

SECTION 3. Liquidation Preference. 

(a) Upon any Liquidation Event, each Preferred Share entitles the Holder thereof to receive and to be paid out of the assets of
the Company legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders, before any distribution or payment may be made to a holder of any Junior Securities, an amount in cash per share equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of
(A) the Specified Percentage of the Accrued Value, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid Dividends (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid Cash Dividends and accrued and unpaid Accreting Dividends for the then current Dividend
Period), if any, on such share to the extent not included in the Accrued Value (such sum, after the Specified Percentage multiplier and as adjusted, the “Regular Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) an amount equal to the amount
the Holder of such share would have received upon such Liquidation Event had such Holder converted such Preferred Share into Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) immediately prior thereto (such greater amount, the
“Liquidation Preference”). 
 (b) If upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company legally
available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders are insufficient to pay the Holders the full Liquidation Preference and the holders of all Parity Securities the full liquidation preferences to which they are entitled, the Holders and
the holders of such Parity Securities will share ratably in any such distribution of the assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective amounts to which they are entitled. 

(c) After payment to the Holders of the full Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the Holders as such will have
no right or claim to any of the assets of the Company. 
 (d) The value of any property not consisting of cash that is
distributed by the Company to the Holders will equal the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of distribution. 
 (e) No
holder of Junior Securities shall receive any cash upon a Liquidation Event unless the entire Liquidation Preference in respect of the Preferred Shares has been paid in cash. To the extent that there is insufficient cash available to pay the entire
Liquidation Preference in respect of the Preferred Shares and any liquidation preference in respect of Parity Securities in full in cash upon a Liquidation Event, the Holders and the holders of such Parity Securities will share ratably in any cash
available for distribution in proportion to the full respective amounts to which they are entitled upon such Liquidation Event.

 SECTION 4. As-Converted Voting Rights; Certain Consent Rights. 

(a) The Holders are entitled to vote on all matters on which the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote and,
except as otherwise provided herein (including under SECTION 7 below) or by law, the Holders shall vote together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as a single class. As of any record date or other determination date, each Holder shall be
entitled to the number of votes such Holder would have had if all Preferred Shares held by such Holder on such date had been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior thereto, except that, in the event that any Holder would be required
to file any Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act as a result of the receipt of any Accreting Dividends by such Holder, the voting rights of such Holder pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall not be increased as a result of such
Holder’s receipt of such Accreting Dividends unless and until such Holder and the Company shall have made their respective filings under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period shall have expired or been terminated in connection with such
filings. The Company shall make all required filings and reasonably cooperate with and assist such Holder in connection with the making of such filing and obtaining the expiration or termination of such waiting period and shall be reimbursed by such
Holder for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company in connection with such filings and cooperation. 

(b) In addition to the voting rights provided for by SECTION 4(a) and SECTION 7 and any voting rights to which the Holders may
be entitled to under law, for so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company may not, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions (including by means of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders: 
 (i) amend, repeal, alter or add, delete or
otherwise change the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock or amend the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company (including by means of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or
otherwise), in each case, in a manner adverse to the Holders; 
 (ii) authorize, create or issue any (x) Senior
Securities or any debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Securities; (y) except as permitted under and in compliance with SECTION 9(b) and otherwise by this Certificate of Designation, Parity Securities or (z) any
voting securities providing the holders thereof voting or board designation or appointment rights that are disproportionate to such holders’ fully diluted ownership of the Common Stock; 

(iii) (a) authorize or effect the commencement by the Company of any case under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect, including pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (b) consent to entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect, including pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or (c) consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or similar official of the Company, or any
general assignment for the benefit of creditors; 

  
 -6- 








 (iv) authorize or issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than to the
Purchasers pursuant to SECTION 2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or effect any stock split or combination, reclassification or similar event with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock; 

(v) incur, or permit any Subsidiary to incur, any Indebtedness not otherwise permitted by the terms of SECTION 9(a) and not
otherwise issued in compliance with the participation rights contained in SECTION 5.4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement; 

(vi) enter into, consummate, adopt, approve, establish or amend any Related Party Transaction (including any agreements or
arrangements with HRG Affiliates relating to corporate opportunities and including all amendments, waivers and consents relating to any agreements and arrangements subject to this clause (vi)) (other than a Permitted Related Party Transaction, in
either case, that has not been approved by a committee of the Board consisting solely of Independent Directors and, at all times that there is a Preferred Elected Director, not less than one Preferred Elected Director; 

(vii) make, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make, any Restricted Payments other than (A) the purchase of Equity
Securities held by officers, directors, employees, consultants or independent contractors or former officers, directors, employees, consultants or independent contractors (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates), upon death,
disability, retirement, severance or other termination of employment provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid therefor in any twelve-month period after the Original Issue Date does not exceed an aggregate amount of (I) $250,000 with
respect to the Company and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, taken together, and (II) $250,000 with respect to any Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company, taken together with all Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of such Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary,
(B) dividends and distributions by Non-Wholly owned Subsidiaries made in accordance with the Organizational Documents of such Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, (C) dividends and distributions to the Company or its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
and (D) Permitted Payments; 
 (viii) create a new Subsidiary of the Company not in existence on the Original Issue Date
for the primary purpose of issuing Equity Securities of such Subsidiary or incurring Debt the proceeds of which will, directly or indirectly, be used to make dividends or other distributions or payments of cash to holders of the Company’s
Capital Stock other than the Holders; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit dividends or other distributions to the Company; 

(ix) effect any voluntary deregistration under the Exchange Act or voluntary delisting with any Exchange in respect to the
Common Stock other than in connection with a Change of Control transaction pursuant to which the Company satisfies in full (in cash with respect to payment obligations) all of its obligations under SECTION 6(c); or 

(x) agree to do, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (i) through (x), unless such
agreement expressly provides that the Company’s obligation to undertake any of the foregoing is subject to the prior approval of the Requisite Holders. 

  
 -7- 








 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 4, the
Company may not, directly or indirectly, take any action otherwise approved pursuant to Section 4(b) if such action would have a materially adverse and disproportionate effect on the powers, preferences, rights, limitations, qualifications and
restrictions or privileges of any Holder with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any Holder, without the prior approval of such Holder. 

(d) Written Consent. Any action as to which a class vote of the holders of Preferred Stock, or the holders of Preferred
Stock and Common Stock voting together, is required pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and
shall be delivered to the Company. 
 SECTION 5. Conversion. Each Preferred Share is convertible into shares of Common Stock (or
Reference Property, to the extent applicable) as provided in this SECTION 5. 
 (a) Conversion at the Option of Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock. Subject to SECTION 5(b) hereof, each Holder is entitled to convert, at any time and from time to time, at the option and election of such Holder, any or all outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder and receive
therefor the property described in SECTION 5(d) upon such conversion. In order to convert Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), the Holder must surrender the certificates representing such
Preferred Shares at the office of the Company’s transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Company, if the Company serves as its own transfer agent), together with (x) written notice that such Holder
elects to convert all or part of the Preferred Shares represented by such certificates as specified therein, (y) a written instrument or instructions of transfer or other documents and endorsements reasonably acceptable to the transfer agent or
the Company, as applicable (if reasonably required by the transfer agent or the Company, as applicable), and (z) funds for any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes, if payable by the Holder pursuant to SECTION 5(f)(i). Except as
provided in SECTION 5(b) and in SECTION 5(c), the date the transfer agent or the Company, as applicable, receives such certificates, together with such notice and any other documents and amounts required to be paid by the Holder pursuant to this
SECTION 5, will be the date of conversion (the “Conversion Date”). 
 (b) Conversion at the Option of the
Company. Beginning on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company shall have the right, at its option, to cause all shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be
automatically converted (without any further action by the Holder and whether or not the certificates representing the Preferred Shares are surrendered), in whole but not in part, into the property described in SECTION 5(d) within five
(5) Business Days of any day (the “Forced Conversion Trigger Date”) on which all of the Company Conversion Conditions are satisfied from time to time. The 

  
 -8- 








 
Company may exercise its option under this SECTION 5(b) by providing the Holders with a written notice, which notice shall specify that the Company is exercising the option contemplated by this
SECTION 5(b), the Forced Conversion Trigger Date and the Conversion Date on which the conversion shall occur (which Conversion Date shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days following the date such notice is provided to the Holders);
provided that, once delivered, such notice shall be irrevocable, unless the Company obtains the written consent of the Requisite Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Holders shall continue to have the right to convert their
Preferred Shares pursuant to SECTION 5(a) until and through the Conversion Date contemplated in this SECTION 5(b) and (y) if any Preferred Shares are converted pursuant to SECTION 5(a), such Preferred Shares shall no longer be converted
pursuant to this SECTION 5(b) and the Company’s notice delivered to the Holders pursuant to this SECTION 5(b) shall automatically terminate with respect to such Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice delivered by the
Company under this SECTION 5(b) in accordance with SECTION 11(g) shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given at the time set forth therein, whether or not such Holder of Preferred Shares actually receives such notice, and neither the
failure of a Holder to actually receive such notice given as aforesaid nor any immaterial defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of the Preferred Shares as set forth in this SECTION 5(b). The Company
shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Company) prior to the
opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Company provides notice to Holders pursuant to this SECTION 5(b) announcing the Company’s election to convert Preferred Shares pursuant to this SECTION 5(b). 

(c) Automatic Conversion on Maturity Date. In the event that any Holder has not elected to have its Preferred Shares
redeemed by the Company on the Maturity Date (as defined herein) pursuant to SECTION 6(a), then such Holder’s Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted (without any further action by the Holder and whether or not the certificates
representing the Preferred Shares are surrendered), in whole and not in part, into the property described in SECTION 5(d), effective as of the Maturity Date, which shall be deemed to be the “Conversion Date” for purposes of this SECTION
5(c). As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) following the Maturity Date, the Company shall deliver a notice to any Holder whose Preferred Shares have been converted by the Company pursuant to this SECTION
5(c), informing such Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Shares have been converted, together with certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice delivered by the
Company in compliance with this SECTION 5(c) shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder of Preferred Shares actually receives such notice, and neither the failure of a Holder to actually receive such notice
given as aforesaid nor any immaterial defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of the Preferred Shares as set forth in this SECTION 5(c). The Company shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow
Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Company) prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following the
Maturity Date announcing the aggregate number of Preferred Shares being converted pursuant to this SECTION 5(c) and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection therewith, as well as the aggregate number of Preferred Shares redeemed
on the Maturity Date and the purchase price paid by the Company therefor. 

  
 -9- 








 (d) Amounts Received Upon Conversion. Upon a conversion of Preferred
Shares pursuant to SECTION 5(a), (b) or (c), the Holder of such converted Preferred Shares shall receive in respect of each Preferred Share: 

(i) a number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) equal to the amount (the “Conversion
Amount”) determined by dividing (A) the Accrued Value for the Preferred Share to be converted by (B) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has
elected to convert all Preferred Shares pursuant to SECTION 5(b) and the Public Float Hurdle is not met on the Forced Conversion Trigger Date, then each Holder may elect, by delivery of a notice to the Company no later than the close of business on
the Business Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date, to receive, in lieu of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), cash equal to the Conversion Amount multiplied by the Thirty Day VWAP as of the close of business on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, which cash amount shall be delivered to the electing Holders within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date that the last Holder electing to receive cash pursuant to this SECTION
5(d)(i) has provided the Company with notice thereof; 
 (ii) cash in an amount equal to the amount of any accrued but unpaid Cash
Dividends and Participating Cash Dividends (to the extent not included in the Accrued Value) on the Preferred Shares being converted; provided that, to the extent the Company is prohibited by law or by contract from paying such amount, then
the Company shall provide written notice to the applicable Holder of such inability to pay, and at the written election of the Holder (which written election shall be delivered to the Company within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such
written notice from the Company), the Company shall either pay such amount as soon as payment is no longer so prohibited or issue Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) in the manner specified in SECTION 5(d)(i) as if the
amount of such accrued but unpaid Cash Dividends and Participating Cash Dividends were added to the Accrued Value (it being understood that any such Cash Dividends that are not timely paid upon conversion as a result of this proviso will be deemed
to be overdue and delinquent for purposes of calculating Cash Accretion Dividends pursuant to SECTION 2(a) hereunder until paid in full in cash); 

(iii) a number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) equal to the amount determined by dividing
(A) the amount of any accrued but unpaid Accreting Dividends (to the extent not included in the Accrued Value) on the Preferred Shares being converted by (B) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of Conversion; and 

(iv) any accrued and unpaid In-Kind Participating Dividends. 

  
 -10- 








 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Holder would be required to file any Notification and Report Form
pursuant to the HSR Act as a result of the conversion of any Preferred Shares into the property described above in this Section 5(d), at the option of such Holder upon written notice to the Company, the effectiveness of such conversion shall be
delayed (only to the extent necessary to avoid a violation of the HSR Act), until such Holder shall have made such filing under the HSR Act and the applicable waiting period shall have expired or been terminated; provided, however, that in such
circumstances such Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such filing and obtain the expiration or termination of such waiting period as promptly as reasonably practical and the Company shall make all required filings and
reasonably cooperate with and assist such Holder in connection with the making of such filing and obtaining the expiration or termination of such waiting period and shall be reimbursed by such Holder for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs incurred by the Company in connection with such filings and cooperation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conversion of any Preferred Share is delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence at (x) a time when the Company desires to
exercise its right to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to SECTION 5(b) or (y) the Maturity Date in connection with the automatic conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to SECTION 5(c), from and after
the date of the conversions contemplated by SECTIONS 5(b) or 5(c), as applicable, such Preferred Share not then converted shall have no rights, powers, preferences or privileges other than the rights provided by this paragraph and the right to
(i) convert into Common Stock if and when such Holder shall have made such filing under the HSR Act and the waiting period in connection with such filing under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated and (ii) receive dividends
and distributions pursuant to SECTIONS 2(c) and 2(d). 
 (e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock
(or fractional shares in respect of Reference Property, to the extent applicable) will be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall pay cash in respect of each fractional share equal to
such fractional amount multiplied by the Thirty Day VWAP as of the closing of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date (or the Fair Market Value thereof in respect of any Reference Property). If more than one Preferred
Share is being converted at one time by the same Holder, then the number of full shares issuable upon conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate number of Preferred Shares converted by such Holder at such time. 

(f) Mechanics of Conversion. 

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Conversion Date (and in any event within four (4) Business Days after such date), the
Company shall issue and deliver to the applicable Holder one or more certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) to which such Holder is entitled, together with, at the option of the
Holder, a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds for payment of fractional shares and any payment required by SECTION 5(d)(ii) in exchange for the certificates representing the converted Preferred Shares. Such conversion will be
deemed to have been made on the Conversion Date, and the Person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of
such shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) on such date. The delivery of the Common Stock upon conversion of Preferred Shares shall be made, at the option of the applicable Holder, in certificated form or by
book-entry. Any such certificate or certificates shall be delivered by the Company to the 

  
 -11- 








 
appropriate Holder on a book-entry basis or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to such Holder at its address as set forth in the conversion notice. In cases where fewer than all the
Preferred Shares represented by any such certificate are to be converted, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unconverted Preferred Shares. The Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue
of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) upon conversion or due upon the issuance of a new certificate for any Preferred Shares not converted to the converting Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay
any such amounts, and any such amounts shall be paid by the converting Holder, in the event that such Common Stock or Preferred Shares are issued in a name other than the name of the converting Holder. 

(ii) For the purpose of effecting the conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall: (A) at all times reserve and keep available,
free from any preemptive rights, out of its treasury or authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) the full number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable)
deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares after taking into account any adjustments to the Conversion Price from time to time pursuant to the terms of this SECTION 5 and any increases to the Accrued Value from time to time
and assuming for the purposes of this calculation that all outstanding Preferred Shares are held by one holder) and (B) without prejudice to any other remedy at law or in equity any Holder may have as a result of such default, take all actions
reasonably required to amend its Certificate of Incorporation, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, to increase the authorized and available amount of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) if at any time such
amendment is necessary in order for the Company to be able to satisfy its obligations under this SECTION 5. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock
(or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) upon the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares at such adjusted Conversion Price. 

(iii) From and after the Conversion Date, the Preferred Shares converted on such date, will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all
rights of the Holder thereof including the right to receive Dividends, but excluding the right to receive from the Company the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) or any cash payment upon conversion, and except for any
rights of Holders (including any voting rights) pursuant to this Certificate of Designation which by their express terms continue following conversion or, for the avoidance of doubt, rights which by their express terms continue following conversion
pursuant to any of the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) shall immediately and automatically cease and terminate with respect to such Preferred Shares; provided that, in the event that a Preferred
Share is not converted due to a default by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to issue the requisite shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), such Preferred Share will, without prejudice to any
other remedy at law or in equity any Holder may have as a result of such default, remain outstanding and will continue be entitled to all of the rights attendant to such Preferred Share as provided herein. 

  
 -12- 








 (iv) The Company shall comply with all federal and state laws, rules and regulations and
applicable rules and regulations of the Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are then listed. If any shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) to be reserved
for the purpose of conversion of Preferred Shares require registration with or approval of any Person or group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) under any federal or state law or the rules and regulations of the
Exchange on which shares of the Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) are then listed before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company will, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable,
use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. So long as any Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) into which the Preferred Shares are then convertible is then listed on an
Exchange, the Company will list and keep listed on any such Exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issuable upon conversion. 

(v) All shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares will, upon
issuance by the Company, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights arising under law or contract and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance
thereof, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result. 
 (g) Adjustments to Conversion
Price. 
 (i) The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments: 

(A) Common Stock Dividends or Distributions. If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of
Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination with respect to shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following formula: 

 
 



 
 where, 
 CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or
share combination, as the case may be; 
 CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect
immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open
of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and 

  
 -13- 








 OS1 = the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or such share split or share combination, as the case may be. 
 Any adjustment made
under this SECTION 5(g)(i)(A) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such share split or share combination.
If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this SECTION 5(g)(i)(A) is declared but not so paid or made, or any share split or combination of the type described in this SECTION 5(g)(i)(A) is announced but the outstanding shares of
Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced. 

(B) Rights, Options or Warrants on Common Stock. If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock
any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than sixty (60) days immediately following the record date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than
the average of the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution, the Conversion Price will be adjusted based on the following
formula: 
  
 



 
 where, 
 CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution; 

CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the open of business on the
Ex-Date for such distribution; 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution; 
 X = the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise all such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the Ex-Date for such distribution; and 
 Y = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such rights, options or
warrants. 

  
 -14- 








 Any adjustment made under this SECTION 5(g)(i)(B) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or
warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered prior to the expiration of such rights, options or warrants,
the Conversion Price shall be readjusted following the expiration of such rights to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the decrease in the Conversion Price with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been
made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board
determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not occured. 
 In determining
whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Daily VWAP for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any
amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the fair market value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be reasonably determined by the Board in good faith. 

(C) Tender Offer or Exchange Offer Payments. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for Common Stock, if the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board) exceeds the average of the Daily VWAP of the
Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date on which such tender offer or exchange offer expires, the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the
following formula: 
  
 



 
 where, 

CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the
last Trading Day of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; 

CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
last Trading Day of the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; 

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date
such tender or exchange offer expires; 
 SP1 = the average of the Daily VWAP of the
Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; 

  
 -15- 








 AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as reasonably determined in
good faith by the Board) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; and 
 OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer and excluding
fractional shares). 
 The adjustment to the Conversion Price under this SECTION 5(g)(i)(C) will occur at the close of business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Price, in respect of any
conversion during the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references within this SECTION 5(g)(i)(C) to ten (10) consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed
replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant conversion date. 

(D) Common Stock Issued at Less than Conversion Price. If, after the Original Issue Date, the Company issues or sells any
Common Stock (or Option Securities or Convertible Securities, to the extent set forth in this SECTION 5(g)(i)(D)), other than Excluded Stock, for no consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect as of the date
of such issuance or sale, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance or sale will (except as provided below) be adjusted at the time of such issuance or sale based on the following formula: 

 
 



 
 where, 
 CP1 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately following such issuance or sale; 
 CP0 = the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale; 
 OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or
exchange of (x) all Preferred Shares issued on the Original Issue Date and (y) all convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Equity Securities of the Company not listed in (x) if the conversion price, exercise price or exchange price
applicable to such Equity Securities of the Company is below Market Value on the determination date) outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale; 

X = the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the number of shares of Common Stock so
issued or sold would purchase at a price per share equal to CP0; and 
 Y = the
number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued. 

  
 -16- 








 For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this SECTION 5(g)(i)(D),
the following provisions shall be applicable: 
 (1) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the amount of the consideration
received by the Company shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash proceeds received by the Company for such Common Stock after deducting therefrom any discounts or commissions allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or
otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof 
 (2) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock (otherwise than upon the
conversion of shares of Capital Stock or other securities of the Company) for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board in good faith. 

(3) In the case of (A) the issuance of Option Securities (whether or not at the time exercisable) or (B) the issuance of Convertible
Securities (whether or not at the time so convertible or exchangeable): 
 i) the issuance of Option Securities shall be deemed the issuance
of all shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of such Option Securities; 
 ii) such Option Securities shall be deemed to be
issued for a consideration equal to the value of the consideration (determined in the manner provided in SECTION 5(g)(i)(D)(1) and (2)), if any, received by the Company for such Option Securities, plus the exercise price, strike price or purchase
price provided in such Option Securities for the Common Stock covered thereby; 
 iii) the issuance of Convertible Securities shall be
deemed the issuance of all shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange for, such Convertible Securities; 
 iv)
such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be issued for a consideration equal to the value of the consideration (determined in the manner provided in SECTION 5(g)(i)(D)(1) and (2) and excluding any cash received on account of accrued
interest or accrued dividends), if any, received by the Company for such Convertible Securities, plus the value of the additional consideration (determined in the manner provided in SECTION 5(g)(i)(D)(1) and (2)) to be received by the Company
upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, if any; 
 v) upon any change in the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon exercise of any Option Securities or Convertible Securities or upon any change in the consideration to be received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such securities, the Conversion Price then in effect
shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been in effect had such change been in effect, with respect to any Option Securities or Convertible Securities outstanding at the time of the change, at the time such Option Securities or
Convertible Securities originally were issued; 

  
 -17- 








 vi) upon the expiration or cancellation of Option Securities (without exercise), or the
termination of the conversion or exchange rights of Convertible Securities (without conversion or exchange), if the Conversion Price shall have been adjusted upon the issuance of such expiring, canceled or terminated securities, the Conversion Price
shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained if, at the time of the original issuance of such Option Securities or Convertible Securities, the expired, canceled or terminated Option Securities or Convertible Securities,
as applicable, had not been issued; 
 vii) if the Conversion Price shall have been fully adjusted upon the issuance of any such options,
warrants, rights or convertible or exchangeable securities, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof; and 

viii) if any issuance of Common Stock, Option Securities or Convertible Securities would also require an adjustment pursuant to any other
adjustment provision of this SECTION 5(g)(i), then only the adjustment most favorable to the Holders shall be made. 
 (ii) If the Company
issues rights, options or warrants that are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events (each, a “Trigger Event”), then the Conversion Price will not be adjusted pursuant to SECTION 5(g)(i)(B) until the
earliest Trigger Event occurs, and the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the extent any of these rights, options or warrants are not exercised before they expire (provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Trigger Event would
require an adjustment pursuant to SECTION 5(g)(i)(D), such adjustment pursuant to SECTION 5(g)(i)(D) shall be made at the time of issuance of such rights, options or warrants in accordance with such Section). 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 5(g) to the contrary, if a Conversion Price adjustment becomes effective pursuant to any of
clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this SECTION 5(g)(i) on any Ex-Date as described above, and a Holder that converts its Preferred Shares on or after such Ex-Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of
shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date based on an adjusted Conversion Price for such Ex-Date and participate on an adjusted basis in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment, then,
notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Price adjustment provisions, the Conversion Price adjustment relating to such Ex-Date will not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner
of the shares of Common Stock on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment. 

Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 5(g) to the contrary, no adjustment under SECTION 5(g)(i) need be made to the Conversion Price unless such
adjustment would require a decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with
any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to a 

  
 -18- 








 
decrease of at least 1% of such Conversion Price; provided that, on the date of any conversion of the Preferred Shares pursuant to SECTION 5, adjustments to the Conversion Price will
be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward that has not been taken into account before such date. In addition, at the end of each year, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2014, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to
give effect to any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, and such adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. 

(iv) Adjustments Below Par Value. The Company shall not take any action that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Price such
that the Conversion Price, as adjusted to give effect to such action, would be less than the then-applicable par value per share of the Common Stock, except that the Company may undertake a share split or similar event if such share split results in
a corresponding reduction in the par value per share of the Common Stock such that the as-adjusted new Conversion Price per share would not be below the new as-adjusted par value per share of the Common Stock following such share split or similar
transaction and the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under SECTION 5(g)(i)(A) and any other applicable provision of SECTION 5(g). 

(v) Reference Property. In the case of any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes
resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification described in SECTION 5(g)(i)(A)), a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company, a sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company (or the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis), or any statutory share exchange, in each case as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or
assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction”), then, at the effective time of the Transaction, the right to convert each Preferred Share will be changed into a right to convert such
Preferred Share into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (the “Reference Property”) that a Holder would have received in respect of the
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares immediately prior to such Transaction. In the event that holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Transaction, the Company
shall make adequate provision whereby the Holders shall have a reasonable opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the Preferred Shares, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of
the Transaction. Any such election shall be made by the Requisite Holders. Any such determination by the Holders shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any
portion of the consideration payable in the Transaction, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed at approximately the same time as the time elections are made by holders of Common Stock. The provisions of this SECTION 5(g)(v) and
any equivalent thereof in any such securities similarly shall apply to successive Transactions. The Company shall not become a party to any Transaction unless its terms are in compliance with the foregoing. 

  
 -19- 








 (vi) Rules of Calculation; Treasury Stock. All calculations will be made to the nearest
one-hundredth of a cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a share. Except as explicitly provided herein, the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) outstanding will be calculated on the basis of the
number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable), not including shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any dividend on or make any distribution to shares of
Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) held in treasury. 
 (vii) No Duplication. If any action would require
adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one of the provisions described in this SECTION 5 in a manner such that such adjustments are duplicative, only one adjustment (which shall be the adjustment most favorable to the Holders)
shall be made. 
 (viii) Notice of Record Date. In the event of: 

(A) any event described in SECTION 5(f)(i)(A), (B), (C) or (D); 

(B) any Transaction to which SECTION 5(f)(v) applies; 

(C) the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; or 

(D) any other event constituting a Change of Control; 

then the Company shall mail to the Holders at their last addresses as shown on the records of the Company, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record
date specified in (A) below or twenty (20) days prior to the date specified in (B) below, as applicable, a notice stating: 

(A) the record date for the dividend, other distribution, stock split or combination or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which
the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, other distribution, stock split or combination; or 
 (B) the date on
which such reclassification, change, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or other event constituting a Transaction or Change of Control, or any transaction which would result in an adjustment pursuant to SECTION 5(g)(i)(D), is estimated to become
effective or otherwise occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for Reference Property, other securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, change, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, Transaction or Change of Control or that such issuance of Common Stock, Option Securities or Convertible Securities is anticipated to occur. 

(ix) Certificate of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this
SECTION 5, the Company at its expense shall as promptly as reasonably practicable compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate, signed by an officer of the Company (in his or
her capacity as such and not in an individual capacity), setting forth (A) the calculation of such adjustments and readjustments in reasonable detail, (B) the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, (C) the
Conversion Price then in 

  
 -20- 








 
effect, and (D) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable) and the amount, if any, of Capital Stock, other securities or other property (including
but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) which then would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Share. 
 (x) No
Upward Revisions to Conversion Price. For the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of a reverse share split or share combination resulting in an adjustment under SECTION 5(g)(i)(A) effected with the approvals, if any, required pursuant to
SECTION 4(b), in no event shall any adjustment be made pursuant to this SECTION 5 that results in an increase in the Conversion Price. 

SECTION 6. Redemption. 

(a) Redemption at Maturity. Each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem such Holder’s
Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”) at a price per share payable, subject to SECTION
6(e), in cash and equal to the Redemption Price. At any time during the period beginning on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the Maturity Date (the “Holder Redemption Notice
Period”), each Holder may deliver written notice to the Company notifying the Company of such Holder’s election to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Holder’s Preferred Shares on the Maturity Date (the
“Election Notice”). No later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of the Holder Redemption Notice Period, the Company shall deliver a notice to each Holder including the following information:
(A) informing the Holder of the Maturity Date and such Holder’s right to elect to have all or a portion of its Preferred Shares redeemed by Company on the Maturity Date, (B) the Redemption Price payable with respect to each share of
Series A Preferred Stock on the Maturity Date in connection with any such redemption (to the extent the Redemption Price is known or can be calculated, and to the extent not capable of being calculated, the manner in which such price will be
determined); (C) that any certificates representing Preferred Shares which a Holder elects to have redeemed must be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price at the office of the Company or any redemption agent located in New York City
selected by the Company therefor together with any written instrument or instructions of transfer or other documents and endorsements reasonably acceptable to the redemption agent or the Company, as applicable (if reasonably required by the
redemption agent or the Company, as applicable); (D) that, upon a Holder’s compliance with clause (C), payment of the Redemption Price with respect to any Preferred Shares to be made on the Maturity Date will be made to the Holder within
five (5) Business Days of the Maturity Date to the account specified in such Holder’s redemption election notice; (E) that any Holder may withdraw its Election Notice with respect to all or a portion of its Preferred Shares at any
time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date; and (F) the number of shares of Common Stock (or, if applicable, the amount of Reference Property) and the amount of cash, if any, that a
Holder would receive upon conversion of a Preferred Share if a Holder does not elect to have its Preferred Shares redeemed. The Company shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if
either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Company) prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Company provides notice to Holders
pursuant to this SECTION 6(a) disclosing the right of Holders to have the Company redeem Preferred Shares pursuant to this SECTION 6(a). 

  
 -21- 








 (b) Optional Redemption by the Company. On and after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Preferred Shares for cash equal to the Redemption Price. If the
Company elects to redeem the Preferred Shares pursuant to this SECTION 6(b), the Company shall deliver a notice of redemption to the Holders not less than thirty (30) or more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the date specified for
redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date”), which notice shall include: (A) the Optional Redemption Date; (B) the Redemption Price; (C) that on the Optional Redemption Date, if the Holder has not previously elected
to convert Preferred Shares into Common Stock, each Preferred Share shall automatically and without further action by the Holder thereof (and whether or not the certificates representing such Preferred Shares are surrendered) be redeemed for the
Redemption Price; (D) that payment of the Redemption Price will be made to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Redemption Date to the account specified by such Holder to the Company in writing; (E) that the Holder’s
right to elect to convert its Preferred Shares will end at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Optional Redemption Date; and (F) the number of shares of Common Stock (or, if applicable, the amount of
Reference Property) and the amount of cash, if any, that a Holder would receive upon conversion of a Preferred Share if a Holder elect to convert its Preferred Shares prior to the Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice
delivered by the Company under this SECTION 6(b) in accordance with SECTION 11(g) shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given at the time set forth therein, whether or not such Holder of Preferred Shares actually receives such notice, and
neither the failure of a Holder to actually receive such notice given as aforesaid nor any immaterial defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Preferred Shares as set forth herein. The Company
shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Company) prior to the
opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Company provides notice to Holders pursuant to this SECTION 6(b) announcing the Company’s election to redeem Preferred Shares pursuant to this SECTION 6(b). 

(c) Redemption at Option of the Holder upon a Change of Control. 

(i) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem its Preferred Shares pursuant to a Change
of Control Offer, which Change of Control Offer shall be made by the Company in accordance with Section 6(c)(ii). In such Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment (such payment, a “Change of Control Payment”)
in cash per Preferred Share equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of (A) the Specified Percentage of the Accrued Value, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid Dividends (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid Cash Dividends and
accrued and unpaid Accreting Dividends for the then current Dividend Period), if any, on such share to the extent not included in the Accrued Value and (ii) an amount equal to the amount the Holder of such


  
 -22- 








 
Preferred Share would have received in connection with such Change of Control had such Holder converted such Preferred Share into Common Stock (or Reference Property, to the extent applicable)
immediately prior thereto (such greater amount, the “Change of Control Payment Amount”). 
 (ii) Within thirty
(30) days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constituted such Change of Control and offering to redeem

Control. The Company shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the
Company) prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following any date on which the Company provides notice to Holders pursuant to this SECTION 6(c) disclosing the right of Holders to have the Company redeem Preferred Shares pursuant
to this SECTION 6(c). 
 (iii) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (A) accept for payment
all Preferred Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and (B) make a Change of Control Payment to each Holder that validly tendered Preferred Shares pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

 -23- 








 (v) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control
if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer and makes the Change of Control Payment in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and
purchases all Preferred Shares validly tendered under such Change of Control Offer. 
 (vi) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this SECTION 6 to the contrary, each Holder shall retain the right to elect to convert any
Preferred Shares to be redeemed at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding any Redemption Date. Any Preferred Shares that a Holder elects to convert prior to the Redemption Date shall not be
redeemed pursuant to this SECTION 6. 
 (e) Insufficient Funds. Any redemption of the Preferred Shares pursuant to
this SECTION 6 shall be payable out of any cash legally available therefor, provided, however, that, other than in respect of a redemption pursuant to SECTION 6(b) (which the Company may only effectuate to the extent it has sufficient cash legally
available therefor), if there is not a sufficient amount of cash legally available to pay the Redemption Price in full in cash, then the Company may pay that portion of the Redemption Price with respect to which it does not have cash legally
available therefor out of the remaining assets of the Company legally available therefor (valued at the fair market value thereof on the date of payment, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board). If the Company anticipates not having
sufficient cash legally available for a redemption pursuant to SECTION 6(a) or SECTION 6(c), the redemption notice delivered to Holders shall so specify, and indicate the nature of the other assets expected to be distributed and the fair market
value of the same as reasonably determined by the Board as aforesaid. At the time of any redemption pursuant to this SECTION 6, the Company shall take all actions required or permitted under Delaware law to permit the redemption of the Preferred
Shares, including, without limitation, through the revaluation of its assets in accordance with Delaware law, to make cash funds (and to the extent cash funds are insufficient, other assets) legally available for such redemption. In connection with
any redemption pursuant to SECTION 6(c), to the extent that Holders elect to have their Preferred Shares redeemed and the Company has insufficient funds to redeem such Preferred Shares (after taking into account the amount of any repurchase
obligations the Company has or expects to have under any Indebtedness ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock), Senior Securities or any Parity Securities resulting from the same facts and circumstances as the Change of Control hereunder),
the Company shall use any available funds to redeem a portion of such Preferred Shares and Parity Securities (if any are being redeemed) ratably in proportion to the full respective amounts to which they are entitled; provided,
however, that the failure for any reason to redeem all Preferred Shares required to be redeemed under SECTION 6(c) when required shall constitute a Specified Breach Event. 

(f) Mechanics of Redemption. 

(i) The Company (or a redemption agent on behalf of the Company, as applicable) shall pay the applicable Redemption Price on the Redemption
Date or the required payment date therefor upon surrender of the certificates representing the Preferred Shares to be redeemed and receipt of any written instrument or instructions of transfer or other documents and


  
 -24- 








 
endorsements reasonably acceptable to the redemption agent or the Company, as applicable, to the extent required by SECTIONS 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c); provided that, if such certificates are
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may require an affidavit certifying to such effect and, if requested, an agreement indemnifying the Company from any losses incurred in connection therewith, in each case, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, from such Holder prior to paying such amounts. 
 (ii) Following any redemption of Preferred Shares on any
Redemption Date, the Preferred Shares so redeemed will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the Holder thereof shall cease, including the right to receive Dividends; provided, however, that any rights of Holders
pursuant to this Certificate of Designation that by their terms survive redemption of the Preferred Shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights that survive pursuant to any of the other Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement), shall survive in accordance with their terms. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that a Preferred Share is not redeemed by the Company when required, such Preferred Share will remain outstanding and will continue to be
entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights (including but not limited to the accrual and payment of dividends and the conversion rights) as provided herein. 

SECTION 7. Director Election Rights. 

Effective immediately following the Original Issue Date and for so long as the Preferred Elected Director Condition continues to be satisfied,
the holders of the Preferred Shares, voting or consenting, as the case may be, separately as a single class to the exclusion of all other classes of the Company’s Voting Stock and with each Preferred Share entitled to one vote, by vote of the
Requisite Holders, be entitled to elect a number of directors to the Board equal to the Preferred Director Number (the “Preferred Elected Director(s)”); provided, that the Preferred Elected Director shall initially be elected
promptly following the Company’s annual meeting to be held on June 12, 2014 and shall be elected to the Board no later than June 15, 2014. Subject to applicable law, one Preferred Elected Director (as designated by the Requisite
Holders if there is more than one Preferred Elected Director) shall be entitled to be a member of each committee of the Board, including the compensation committee, the audit committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the
Board; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, membership on any such committee will be dependent upon such director meeting the qualification, and if applicable, independence criteria deemed necessary to so comply in
accordance with any listing requirements of the Exchange on which the Company’s capital stock is then listed. The Preferred Elected Director(s) shall be elected as set forth in this SECTION 7; provided that as a condition precedent to
the election of any such Preferred Elected Director, the individual(s) to be elected by the Requisite Holders shall be required to provide to the Company a duly executed and delivered written resignation of such Person to be elected as a Preferred
Elected Director, providing that effective immediately and automatically (without any further action by any Person) upon the expiration of the Requisite Holders’ right to elect such individual to the Board as provided herein, such Preferred
Elected Director shall resign from the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, no Preferred Elected Director shall be elected to the Board unless the written resignation referred to in the preceding sentence is delivered to the Company prior thereto. The
Preferred Elected Directors shall be elected, at the option of the Requisite Holders, (i) by the written consent of the Requisite Holders or (ii) at annual or special meetings 

  
 -25- 








 
of stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected. If there is a vacancy in the office of a Preferred Elected Director, then the vacancy may only be filled by a nominee of the
Requisite Holders. Each Preferred Elected Director will be entitled to one (1) vote on any matter with respect to which the Board votes and any Preferred Elected Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by, and shall not be
removed otherwise than by, the written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders. The Company shall take all such action as may be reasonably requested by the Requisite Holders to effect Section 7 (including nominating and recommending the
Preferred Elected Director for election, if applicable). 
 SECTION 8. Specified Breach Events. 

(a) The following events shall constitute “Specified Breach Events”: 

(i) the Company fails to declare and pay any Cash Dividends or Accreting Dividends due on any two consecutive Dividend Payment Dates;
provided that, any such Specified Breach Event shall cease to exist once all such Cash Dividends and Accreting Dividends in arrears through the end of the most recently completed Dividend Period have been declared and paid in full; and 

(ii) the Company defaults in the performance of, or breaches the covenants contained in, the following sections of this Certificate of
Designation and such default or breach, if curable, is not cured within ninety (90) days: SECTION 2(c) (Participating Cash Dividends); SECTION 2(d) (In-Kind Participating Dividends); the proviso contained in SECTION 5(d)(i) (Amounts
Received Upon Conversion); SECTION 6(a) (Redemption at Maturity) or SECTION 6(c) (Redemption at Option of Holder Upon a Change of Control)). Any such Specified Breach Event specified in this clause (ii) shall cease to exist once the underlying
default or breach has been waived or cured. 
 (b) Subject to applicable law and compliance with the rules of any Exchange on
which the Common Stock is then listed, if the Preferred Director Number is increased as a result of any Specified Breach Event (as provided in the definition of Preferred Director Number), then unless the Requisite Holders otherwise consent in
writing, the Company shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Designation, increase the size of the Board as necessary to accommodate such number of additional directors as provided in the definition of Preferred Director
Number (each a “Specified Breach Director”) and such Specified Breach Director(s) shall be elected as set forth in this section; provided that as a condition precedent to the election of any such Specified Breach Director, the
individual to be elected by the Requisite Holders shall be required to provide to the Company a duly executed and delivered written resignation of such Person to be elected as a Specified Breach Director, providing that effective immediately and
automatically (without any further action by any Person) upon the expiration of the applicable Breach Period (as defined below), such Specified Breach Director shall resign from the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, no Specified Breach Director
shall be elected to the Board unless the written resignation referred to in the preceding sentence is delivered to the Company prior thereto. A Specified Breach Director need not be an “independent director” of the Board pursuant to the
rules of the Exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is then traded. The Specified Breach Directors shall be elected (i) by the written consent of the Requisite Holders or (ii) at a special meeting of the Holders (which shall be
called by the 

  
 -26- 








 
Secretary of the Company at the request of any Holder) to be held within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the Specified Breach Event, or, if the Specified Breach Event occurs less than
sixty (60) days before the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, at such annual meeting. At any meeting at which the Specified Breach Director(s) will be elected, the Specified Breach Director(s) shall be
elected by the Requisite Holders. The Specified Breach Director(s) will serve until there ceases to be any Preferred Shares outstanding or until no Specified Breach Event exists or is continuing, whichever occurs earliest (the “Breach
Period”) and, upon the expiration of an applicable Breach Period, the director seat(s) held by the Specified Breach Director(s) shall be automatically eliminated and the size of the Board shall be reduced accordingly. If there is a vacancy
in the office of a Specified Breach Director during a Breach Period, then the vacancy may only be filled by a nominee of the Requisite Holders. Each Specified Breach Director will be entitled to one (1) vote on any matter with respect to which
the Board votes. During the Breach Period, any Specified Breach Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by, and shall not be removed otherwise than by, the written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders. If after the appointment
of a Specified Breach Director the applicable Breach Period expires, if so requested by the Company, the Holders shall promptly cause to resign, and take all other action reasonably necessary, or reasonably requested by the Company, to cause the
prompt removal of, such Specified Breach Director.

ranking senior to the Company’s investment in such entities) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining Indebtedness but not taken into account (i.e., added back) for purposes of determining Net Asset Value, and (C) the
provisions of this SECTION 9(a) shall not apply to (i) a refinancing of the Indebtedness incurred under the Loan Agreement or (ii) a refinancing of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (x) within six
(6) months of the respective maturity date of such Indebtedness or (y) on economic terms more favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in any such case of (i) or (ii), so long as the amount of such Indebtedness does
not result in an increase in the Company’s total Indebtedness or the Debt/NAV Ratio (in each case, excluding the impact of the capitalization of customary and reasonable premiums, fees and expenses incurrent in connection with such
refinancing). 

  
 -27- 








 (b) Restriction on the Issuance of Parity Securities. From and after the
