 RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of January 6, 2009 (the “Agreement”), between SEI INVESTMENTS COMPANY, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), and AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST
COMPANY, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Rights Agent”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, on December 16, 2008 (the “Rights Dividend Declaration Date”), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each Common Share (as hereinafter defined) of the Company outstanding at the Close of business on January 6, 2009 (the “Record Date”) (which for these purposes shall
include all Common Shares presently entitled to receive dividends) and has authorized the issuance of one Right (as such number may hereafter be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(p) hereof) for each Common Share of the Company
issued between the Record Date (whether originally issued or delivered from the Company’s treasury) and the Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined), each Right initially representing the right to purchase one twenty-thousandths of a
Preferred Share (as hereinafter defined) of the Company having the rights, powers and preferences set forth in the form of the Resolution of the Board attached hereto as Exhibit A, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth
(the “Rights”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Rights will be held by the Rights Agent under this Agreement as trustee for the shareholders of
the Company until the Distribution Date; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board has considered whether approval of this Agreement and the distribution of
the Rights is in the best interests of the Company and all other pertinent factors; and 
 WHEREAS, the Board has concluded that approval of
this Agreement and the distribution of the Rights is in the best interests of the Company because the existence of the Rights will help (i) reduce the risk of coercive two-tiered, front-end loaded or partial offers that may not offer fair value
to all shareholders, (ii) mitigate against market accumulators who through open market and/or private purchases may achieve a position of substantial influence or control without paying to selling or remaining shareholders a fair control
premium, (iii) deter market accumulators who are simply interested in putting the Company into “play,” (iv) restrict self-dealing by a substantial shareholder, and (v) preserve the Board’s bargaining power and
flexibility to deal with third-party acquirers and to otherwise seek to maximize values for all shareholders. 






 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, 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, together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be
the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include (i) Alfred P. West, Jr., (ii) the Company, (iii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of
any Subsidiary of the Company or (v) any Person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. A transfer of Common Shares by Alfred P. West, Jr. or his spouse, directly or
indirectly, to a member of his immediate family shall not alone cause such immediate family member to become an Acquiring Person, but any subsequent acquisitions which aggregate to 1% or more of the total outstanding Common Shares by such immediate
family member, other than from Alfred P. West, Jr. or his spouse, will cause such immediate family member to become an Acquiring Person if after such acquisitions such immediate family member, together with all Affiliates and Associates, shall be
the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a majority of the Board determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an “Acquiring Person”, as defined pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), has become such inadvertently, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such Person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, as defined pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (a), then such Person shall not be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (b) “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General
Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and in effect on the date hereof (the “Exchange Act”). 
 (c) A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial owner” of, and shall be deemed to “beneficially own,” any securities: 
 (i) 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) 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; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” (A) securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such Person or any of such
Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for payment, purchase or exchange, or (B) securities issuable upon exercise of Rights at any time prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event, or
(C) securities issuable 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(a) or Section 22 hereof (the “Original Rights”) or pursuant to Section 11(i) hereof in connection with an adjustment made with respect to any original Rights; 
 (ii) that such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to vote or dispose of
or has “beneficial ownership” of (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act), including without limitation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in
writing; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the “Beneficial 

  

 2 







 
Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” any security under this subparagraph (ii) as a result of an oral or written agreement, arrangement
or understanding to vote such security if such agreement, arrangement or understanding: (A) arises solely from a revocable proxy given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the
applicable provisions of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, and (B) is not also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report); or 
 (iii) that are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate thereof) 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 (ii) of this paragraph (c)) or disposing of any voting securities of the Company, provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (c) shall cause a person engaged in business as an underwriter of securities to be
the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” any securities acquired through such Person’s participation in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the expiration of forty days after the date of such
acquisition. 
 (d) “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking
institutions in the State of New York or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
 (e) “Close of Business” on any given date shall mean 5:00 P.M., New York time, on such date; provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day it shall mean 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the next
succeeding Business Day. 
 (f) “Common Share” shall mean, when used with references to the Company, a share of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company and, to the extent that there are not a sufficient number of Common Shares authorized to permit the full exercise of the Rights, shares of any other class or series of the Company designated
for such purpose containing terms substantially similar to the terms of the Common Shares, except that “Common Share” when used with reference to any Person other than the Company shall mean the shares of common stock of such Person with
the greatest voting power, or the equity securities or other equity interest having power to control or direct the management, of such Person. 
 (g) “Distribution Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3 hereof. 
 (h) “Expiration Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7(a) hereof. 
 (i)
“Person” shall mean any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity. 
 (j) “Preferred Share” shall mean a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares, par value $0.05 per share, of the Company and, to the extent that there are not a sufficient number of shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Shares authorized to permit the full exercise of the Rights, shares of any other series of Series Preferred Stock of the Company designated for such purpose containing terms substantially similar to the terms of the Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Shares. 
  

 3 







 (k) “Preferred Share Fraction” shall mean one twenty-thousandths of a Preferred
Share. 
 (l) “Section 11(a)(ii) Event” shall mean any event described in Section 11(a)(ii) (A), (B) or
(C) hereof. 
 (m) “Section 13 Event” shall mean any event described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) of
Section 13(a) hereof. 
 (n) “Stock Acquisition Date” shall mean the first date of public announcement (which,
for purposes of this definition, shall include, without limitation, a report filed pursuant to Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) by the Company or an Acquiring Person that an Acquiring Person has become such. 
 (o) “Subsidiary” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Exchange Act. 
 (p) “Trading Day” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 11(d)(i) hereof. 
 (q) “Triggering Event” shall mean any Section 11(a)(ii) Event or any Section 13 Event. 
 Unless otherwise specified, where reference is made in this Agreement to sections of, and the General Rules and Regulations under, the Exchange Act, such
reference shall mean such sections and rules as amended from time to time and any successor provisions thereto. 
 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. 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 Business Day after a Stock Acquisition Date involving an Acquiring Person that has become such in a transaction as to which the Board has not made
the determination referred to in Section 11(a)(ii)(B) hereof, or (ii) within ten (10) Business Days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board prior to such time any person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the
date that a tender or exchange offer by any Person (other than Alfred P. West, Jr., the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Person or entity organized,
appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan) is first published or sent or given within the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under, the Exchange Act, if 

  

 4 







 
upon consummation thereof, such Person would be the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (the earlier of (i) and
(ii) being herein referred to as the “Distribution Date”), (x) beneficial interests in the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 3) by the certificates for the Common
Shares registered in the names of the holders of the Common Shares (which certificates for Common Shares shall be deemed also to be certificates for beneficial interests in the Rights) and not by separate certificates, and (y) the Rights and
beneficial interests therein will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the underlying Common Shares (including a transfer to the Company). The Company must promptly notify the Rights Agent of such Distribution Date and request
that its transfer agent provide the Rights Agent with a list of the record holders of the Company’s Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date. As soon as practicable after the Rights Agent receives such notice and list,
the Rights Agent will send by first-class, postage prepaid mail, to each record holder of the Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, one or more rights
certificates, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Rights Certificates”), evidencing one Right for each Common Share so held, subject to adjustment as provided herein. In the event that an adjustment in the number of Rights
per Common Share has been made pursuant to Section 11(p) hereof, at the time of distribution of the Rights Certificates, the Company shall make the necessary and appropriate rounding adjustments (in accordance with Section 14(a) hereof) so
that Rights Certificates representing 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) As promptly as practicable following the Record Date, the Company will send a copy of a Summary of Rights, in substantially the
Form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Summary of Rights”), by first-class, postage prepaid mail, to each holder of the Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Record Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the
Company. 
 With respect to certificates for the Common Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, until the Distribution Date, the registered
holders of the Common Shares shall also be the registered holders of the beneficial interests in the associated Rights. Until the earlier of the Distribution Date or the Expiration Date (as such term is defined in Section 7 hereof), the
transfer of any certificates representing Common Shares in respect of which Rights have been issued shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Shares. Certificates issued after the Record Date upon the transfer of
Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date shall bear the legend set forth in subsection (c). 
 (c) Except as provided in
Section 22 hereof, Rights shall be issued in respect of all Common Shares that are issued (whether originally issued or delivered from the Company’s treasury) after the Record Date but prior to the earlier of the Distribution Date or the
Expiration Date. Certificates representing such Common Shares shall also be deemed to be certificates for beneficial interests in the associated Rights, and shall bear the following legend: 
 “This certificate also evidences a beneficial interest in and entitles the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in the Rights
Agreement between SEI Investments Company (the “Company”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Rights Agent”) dated 

  

 5 







 
as of January 6, 2009 (the “Rights Agreement”), and as the same may be amended from time to time, the terms of which are hereby incorporated
herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will, be evidenced by separate certificates and beneficial interests therein
will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Company will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement, as in effect on the date of mailing, without charge promptly after receipt of a written request therefor. Under
certain circumstances 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, may become null and void.” 
 With respect to such
certificates containing the foregoing legend, until the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date or (ii) the Expiration Date, beneficial interests in the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificates shall be
evidenced by such certificates alone and registered holders of Common Shares shall also be the registered holders of beneficial interests in the associated Rights, and the transfer of any of such certificates shall also constitute the transfer of
beneficial interests in the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificates. 
 Section 4. Form of Rights
Certificates. 
 (a) The Rights Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase and of assignment to be printed on the
reverse thereof) shall each be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate (which do
not affect the duties or responsibilities of the Rights Agent) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with
any rule or regulation of any stock exchange, including, without limitation, the Nasdaq Stock Market, 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
hereof, the Rights Certificates, whenever distributed, shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of Preferred Share Fractions as shall be set forth therein at the price set forth therein (such exercise price per Preferred Share
Fraction, the “Purchase Price”), but the amount and type of securities purchasable 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 to Section 3(a) or Section 22 hereof that represents Rights that the Company knows
are 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) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person
becomes such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a
transfer (whether or not for consideration from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person has any continuing oral or written plan, agreement, arrangement or
understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer 

  

 6 







 
that the Board has determined is part of an oral or written plan, agreement, arrangement or understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect avoidance
of Section 7(e) hereof, and provided that the Company shall have notified the Rights Agent that this Section 4(b) applies, any Rights Certificate issued pursuant to Section 6 or Section 11 hereof upon transfer, exchange,
replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain (to the extent feasible) the following legend: 
 “The Rights represented 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 represented hereby may become null and void in the circumstances specified in Section 7(e) of such Agreement.” 
 Section 5. Countersignature and Registration. 
 (a) The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or any Vice President, either manually or by facsimile signature, and shall have affixed thereto the
Company’s seal or a facsimile thereof which shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Rights Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Rights Agent and
shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Rights Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and
issuance and delivery by the Company, such Rights Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though the Person who signed such Rights Certificates
had not ceased to be such officer of the Company, and any Rights Certificates may be signed on behalf of the Company by any Person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Rights Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign
such Rights Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such Person was not such an officer. 
 (b) Following the Distribution Date and upon receipt by the Rights Agent of the notice and list of recordholders of the Rights referred to in Section 3(a), the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its office or offices
designated pursuant to Section 25 hereof, books for registration and transfer of the Rights Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Rights Certificates, the number of Rights
evidenced on its face by each of the Rights Certificates, the Certificate number and the date of each of the Rights Certificates. 
 Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Rights Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Rights Certificates. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b), Section 7(e) and Section 14 hereof, 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 Preferred Share Fractions (or,


  

 7 







 
following a Triggering Event, Common Shares or other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be, as the Rights Certificate or Certificates
surrendered then entitled such holder or former holder in the case of a transfer) 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 or Certificates until the registered holder shall have completed and signed the certificate contained 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) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company or the Rights Agent shall
reasonably request. Thereupon the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 4(b), Section 7(e) and Section 14 hereof, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates, as the case may be,
as so requested. The Rights Agent shall not be obligated to process the transaction until it has received evidence that all taxes and charges arising from the transaction have been paid. 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) Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Rights Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity or security satisfactory to them, and reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Rights Certificate if mutilated, the
Company will execute and deliver a new Rights Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for countersignature and delivery to the registered owner in lieu of the Rights Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. 
 Section 7. Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights. 
 (a) Subject to subsection (e), the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as
otherwise provided herein including, without limitation, the restrictions on exercisability set forth in Section 9(c), Section 11(a)(iii) and Section 23(a) hereof) 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 (except as provided in Section 11(q) hereof) with respect to the total number of Preferred Share Fractions (or Common Shares, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as to which such surrendered
Rights are then exercisable (except as provided in Section 11(q) hereof), at or prior to the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on January 6, 2019 (the “Final Expiration Date”), (ii) the consummation of a transaction
contemplated by Section 13(d) hereof, or (iii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed or terminated as provided in Section 23 hereof (the earliest of (i), (ii) and (iii) being herein referred to as the “Expiration
Date”). 
  

 8 







 (b) The Purchase Price for each Preferred Share Fraction pursuant to the exercise of a
Right shall initially be $150.00, and shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13(a) hereof and shall be payable in accordance with subsection (c). 
 (c) Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate representing 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 per Preferred Share Fraction (or Common Shares, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) to be purchased as set forth below and an
amount equal to any applicable tax or governmental charge, the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 20(k) and Section 14(b) hereof, thereupon promptly (i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent of the Preferred Shares (or make
available, if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent for the Common Shares) certificates for the total number of Preferred Shares to be purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or
(B) if the Company shall have elected to deposit some or all of the total number of Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights hereunder with a depositary agent, requisition from the depositary agent depositary receipts representing
such number of Preferred Share Fractions as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the Preferred Shares represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent with the depositary agent) 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 hereof, (iii) after receipt of such certificates or
depositary receipts, 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. The payment of the Purchase Price (as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof) may be made, at the election of the holder of the
Rights Certificate, (x) in cash or by certified bank check or money order payable to the order of the Company, or (y) by delivery of Rights if and to the extent authorized by Section 11(q) hereof. In the event that the Company is
obligated to issue other securities of the Company (including Common Shares) pay cash and/or distribute other property pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the Company will make all arrangements necessary so that such other securities, cash and/or
other property are available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when necessary to comply with this Agreement. 
 (d)
In case the registered holder of any Rights Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Rights Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent to 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 6 and Section 14 hereof. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) 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 Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person
becomes such, or (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a
transfer (whether or not 

  

 9 







 
for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom the Acquiring Person has any
continuing oral or written plan, agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer which the Board has determined is part of an oral or written plan, agreement, arrangement or understanding which has as
a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7(e), shall become 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; provided, however, that the Rights held by an Acquiring Person, an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or the transferees of such persons referred to above shall not be voided unless the Acquiring Person in question
or an Affiliate or Associate of such Acquiring Person shall be involved in the transaction giving rise to the Section 11(a)(ii) Event. The Company shall notify the Rights Agent when this Section 7(e) applies and shall use all reasonable
efforts to insure that the provisions of this Section 7(e) and Section 4(b) hereof are complied with, but neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of Rights Certificates or other Person as a result of
the Company’s failure to make any determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates, Associates or transferees hereunder. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement 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 as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i) properly completed and signed the certificate contained in 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) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company or the Rights Agent 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 canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Rights Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of
the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Rights Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon
the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all canceled Rights Certificates to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Rights Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of
destruction thereof to the Company. 
 Section 9. Reservation and Availability of Capital Stock; Registration of Securities.

 (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available for issuance upon the
exercise of outstanding Rights as many of its authorized and unissued Preferred Shares (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, out of its authorized and unissued or treasury Common Shares and/or other securities) or out of its
authorized and issued shares held in its treasury, which together, shall at all times after the Distribution Date be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. 
  

 10 







 (b) So long as the Preferred Shares (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
Common Shares or other securities) issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights may be listed on any stock exchange, including, without limitation, the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after
such time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares and other securities reserved for such issuance to be listed on such exchange or market upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise. 
 (c) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file, as soon as practicable following the earliest date after the first occurrence
of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event on which the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Rights has been determined in accordance with Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, or as soon as is required by law following the
Distribution Date, as the case may be, a registration statement or statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form or forms,
(ii) cause such registration statement or statements to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and (iii) cause such registration statement or statements to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the
requirements of the Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities, and (B) the Expiration Date. The Company will also take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure
compliance with, the securities or “blue sky” laws of the various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights. The Company may temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after the date set
forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this subsection (c), the exercisability of the Rights in order to prepare and file such registration statement and permit it to become effective. Upon any such suspension, the Company shall issue a
public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect. In addition, if the Company shall determine that a registration
statement is required following the Distribution Date, the Company may, by issuing a public announcement, temporarily suspend the exercisability of the Rights until such time as a registration statement has been declared effective. The Company shall
notify the Rights Agent whenever it makes a public announcement pursuant to this subsection (c) and give the Rights Agent a copy of the announcement. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction unless the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall have been obtained, nor shall the
Rights be exercisable if the exercise thereof shall not be permitted under applicable law or a registration statement shall not have been declared effective. 
 (d) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all Preferred Shares (and,
following a Triggering Event, Common Shares or other securities) delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such shares or other securities (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly and validly
authorized and issued and, with respect to Preferred Shares, Common Shares or other shares of capital stock, fully paid and nonassessable. 
  

 11 







 (e) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any
and all taxes and governmental charges that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates and of any certificates for a number of Preferred Share Fractions (or Common Shares or other securities, as the case may be)
upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of a number of
Preferred Share Fractions (or Common Shares or other securities, as the case may be) in respect of a name other than that of the registered holder of the Rights Certificates evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any
certificates for a number of Preferred Share Fractions (or Common Shares or other securities, as the case may be) in a name other than that of the registered holder upon the exercise of any Rights until 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). 
 Section 10. Capital Stock Record Date. 
 Each Person in whose name any certificate for a number of Preferred Share Fractions (or Common Shares or other securities, as the case may be) is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder
of record of such Preferred Share Fractions (or Common Shares or other securities, as the case may be) represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly
surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and all applicable taxes and governmental charges) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the applicable transfer books of the Company are
closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares (fractional or otherwise) on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the applicable transfer books of the Company are open.
Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Rights Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to shares 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 Number of Rights. 
 The Purchase Price, the number and kind of shares and other 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 any security of the Company payable in Preferred Shares, (B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Shares into a smaller number of
shares, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation), except as otherwise 

  

 12 







 
provided in this Section 11(a) and Section 7(e) hereof, 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 Preferred Shares or capital stock, as the case may be, issuable on such date, shall be proportionately, adjusted so that the holder of any Right
exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the adjusted Purchase Price, the aggregate number and kind of Preferred Shares or capital stock, as the case may be, that, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to
such date and at a time when the Preferred Share transfer books were open, 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
which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required
pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof. 
 (ii) In the event: 
 (A) any Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of any Acquiring Person, at any time after the Stock Acquisition Date, directly or
indirectly, (1) shall merge into the Company or otherwise combine with the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger or combination and the Common Shares of the Company or other equity securities of
the Company shall remain outstanding, (2) shall, in one transaction or a series of transactions, transfer any assets to the Company or to any of its Subsidiaries in exchange (in whole or in part) for Common Shares, for shares of other equity
securities of the Company, or for securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of equity securities of the Company (Common Shares or otherwise) or otherwise obtain from the Company, with or without consideration, any additional shares of
such equity securities or securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of such equity securities (other than pursuant to a pro rata distribution to all holders of Common Shares), (3) shall sell, purchase, lease, exchange, mortgage,
pledge, transfer or otherwise acquire or dispose of assets in one transaction or a series of transactions, to, from or with (as the case may be) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on terms and conditions less favorable to the Company than the
Company would be able to obtain in arm’s-length negotiation with an unaffiliated third party, other than pursuant to a Section 13 Event, (4) shall sell, purchase, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of
assets having an aggregate fair market value of more than $5,000,000 in one transaction or a series of transactions, to, from or with (as the case may be) the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than incidental to the lines of
business, if any, engaged in as of the date hereof between the Company and such Acquiring Person or Associate or Affiliate), other than pursuant to a Section 13 Event, (5) shall receive any compensation from the Company or any of the
Company’s Subsidiaries other than compensation for full-time employment as a regular employee at rates in accordance with the Company’s (or its Subsidiaries’) past practices, or (6) shall receive the benefit, directly or
indirectly (except proportionately as a shareholder and except if resulting from a requirement of law or governmental regulation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages
provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or 
  

 13 







 (B) any Person (other than (i) Alfred P. West, Jr., (ii) any immediate family
member of Alfred P. West Jr. who exceeds the 20% Company ownership threshold solely by reason of a transfer of Common Shares from Alfred P. West Jr. or his spouse to such immediate family member and who does not subsequently acquire at least 1% of
the Common Shares outstanding from a source other than Alfred P. West Jr. or his spouse, (iii) the Company, (iv) any Subsidiary of the Company, (v) any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, or
(vi) any Person or entity organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan), alone or together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall, at any time after the Rights Dividend Declaration Date,
become the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, unless the event causing the 20% threshold to be crossed is a Section 13 Event, or is an acquisition of Common Shares pursuant to a tender offer or an exchange
offer for all outstanding Common Shares at a price and on terms determined by at least a majority of the Board, after receiving advice from one or more nationally recognized investment banking firms, to be in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders (a “Qualifying Offer”), after taking into consideration all factors that the Board deems relevant, including, without limitation, the long-term prospects and value of the Company and the prices and terms that the Board
believes in good faith, could reasonably be achieved if the Company or its assets were sold on an orderly basis designed to realize maximum value, or 
 (C) during such time as there is an Acquiring Person, there shall be any reclassification of securities (including any reverse stock split), or recapitalization of the Company, or any merger or consolidation of the
Company with any of its Subsidiaries or any other transaction or series of transactions involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than a Section 13 Event or series of such Section 13 Events (whether or not with or into or
otherwise involving an Acquiring Person) that has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing by more than 1% the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is
directly or indirectly beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of any Acquiring Person, then, promptly following the first occurrence of 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) hereof) 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 a number of
Preferred Share Fractions, such number of Common Shares of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by (x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the then number of Preferred Share Fractions for which a Right was exercisable
immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, and (y) dividing that product (which, following such first occurrence, shall thereafter be referred to as the “Purchase Price” for each Right and for all
purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the current market price (as defined in and determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per Common Share on the date of such first occurrence (such number, of shares, the “Adjustment Shares”).

 (iii) In the event that the number of Common Shares that are authorized by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation but
not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights are 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 shall: (A) determine the excess of the value of the Adjustment Shares issuable upon the exercise 

  

 14 







 
of a Right (the “Current Value”) over the Purchase Price (such excess, the “Spread”), and (B) with respect to each Right, make
adequate provision to substitute for the Adjustment Shares, upon payment of the applicable Purchase Price, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) Common Shares of the same or a different class or other equity securities
of the Company (including, without limitation, preferred shares or units of preferred shares that the Board has deemed (based, among other things, on the dividend and liquidation rights of such preferred shares) to have substantially the same
economic value as Common Shares (such preferred shares, hereinafter referred to as “common share 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 action of a majority of the Board after considering the advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board; provided, however,
if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) 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)(ii) 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, Common Shares (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread. If
the Board shall determine in good faith that it is likely that sufficient additional Common Shares could be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights, the thirty (30) day period set forth above may be extended to the extent
necessary, but not more than ninety (90) days after the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date, in order that the Company may seek shareholder approval for the authorization of such additional shares (such period, as it may be extended, the
“Substitution Period”). To the extent that the Company determines that some action need be taken pursuant to the first and/or second sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company shall provide, subject to Section 7(e) hereof,
that such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights, and may suspend the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of the Substitution Period in order to seek any authorization of additional shares and/or to decide the
appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to such first sentence and to determine the value thereof. The Company shall make a public announcement when the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, and again when such
suspension is no longer in effect. The Company shall notify the Rights Agent of the suspension of the exercisability of the Rights, and provide the Rights Agent with a copy of such public announcement. For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii),
the value of the Common Shares shall be the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per Common Share on the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date and the value of any “common share equivalent” shall be
deemed to have the same value as the Common Shares on such date. 
 (b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the
issuance of rights, options or warrants to holders of any security of the Company entitling them to subscribe for or purchase (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) Preferred Shares (or shares having
the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Preferred Shares (“equivalent preferred shares”)) or securities convertible into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares at a price per Preferred Share or per equivalent preferred
share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares) less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per Preferred Share on such
record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such 

  

 15 







 
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 number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date, plus the number of Preferred Shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares 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 Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date, plus the number of
additional Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares 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 the Board, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be
binding on the Company, the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company 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 Preferred Shares (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 dividend out of the earnings or retained earnings of the Company),
assets (other than a regular quarterly dividend referred to above or dividend payable in Preferred Shares, but including any dividend payable in stock other than Preferred Shares) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in
Section 11(b) hereof), 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 determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per Preferred Share on such record date, less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with
the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes) of the portion of the cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to a Preferred Share and the denominator of which
shall be such current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) per Preferred Share. 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 which would have been in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 
 (d) (i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, other than computations made pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the “current market price” per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be
the average of the daily closing prices per Common Share for the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to and not including such date, and for purposes of computations made pursuant to
Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the “current market price” per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per Common Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately following and
not including such date; provided, 

  

 16 







 
however, that in the event that the current market price per Common Share is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer of such
Common Share of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Common Share payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares (other than the Rights), or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Common
Shares, and prior to the expiration of the requisite thirty (30) Trading Day or ten (10) Trading Day period, as set forth above, after the ex- dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision,
combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the “current market price” shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex- dividend trading. The closing price for each Trading Day shall be the last sale price, regular
way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted
to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common 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, on the applicable system then in use, or, if on any such date the Common 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 the Common Shares selected by the Board. If on any such date no market maker is making a market in the Common Shares, the fair value of such shares on such date as determined in good faith
by the Board shall be used. The term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the Common
Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a Business Day. If the Common 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 the Board, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. 
 (ii) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “current market price” per Preferred Share shall be determined in the
same manner as set forth above for the Common Shares in clause (i) of this Section 11 (d) (other than the last sentence thereof). If the current market price per Preferred Share cannot be determined in the manner provided above or if
the Preferred Shares are not publicly held or listed or traded in a manner described in clause (i) of this Section 11 (d), the “current market price” per Preferred Share shall be conclusively deemed to be an amount equal to
20,000 (as such number may be appropriately adjusted for such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Shares occurring after the date of this Agreement) multiplied by the current market price per
Common Share. If neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred Shares are publicly held or so listed or traded, “current market price” per Preferred Share shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by the Board, whose
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive for all purposes. For all purposes of this Agreement, the “current market price” of a Preferred Share Fraction shall be equal to the
“current market price” of one Preferred Share divided by 20,000. 
  

 17 







 (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 one percent (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 ten-thousandth of a Common Share or one-millionth of a Preferred Share, as
the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this subsection (e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three (3) years from the date of the transaction that mandates such
adjustment or (ii) the Expiration Date. 
 (f) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) or
Section 13(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock other than Preferred Shares, 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 Shares contained in Sections 11(a), (b), (c), (e), (g), (h),
(i), (j), (k), (m) and (q), and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof with respect to the Preferred Shares 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 Preferred Share Fractions purchasable 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 subsections (b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of Preferred
Share Fractions (calculated to the nearest one-one-millionth of a Preferred Share) obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of Preferred Share Fractions 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 Preferred Share Fractions purchasable 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 Preferred Share Fractions 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- millionth of a Preferred Share) 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. The Company shall forward a copy of such public announcement to the Rights Agent. The record date for the
adjustment may be the date on which the Purchase Price is 

  

 18 







 
adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Rights Certificates have been issued, shall be at least ten (10) days later than the date of the 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 hereof, 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 so to be 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 Preferred Share Fractions issuable upon the exercise
of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price per Preferred Share Fraction and the number of Preferred Share Fractions that were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates
issued hereunder. 
 (k) Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below the then
stated or par value, if any, of the number of Preferred Share Fractions 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 number of fully paid and nonassessable Preferred Share Fractions at such adjusted Purchase Price. 
 (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 the number of Preferred Share Fractions and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Preferred Share Fractions and 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, and the Company shall also deliver a copy of such bill or
instrument to the Rights Agent. 
 (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 the Board shall determine to be advisable in order that any
(i) consolidation or subdivision of the Preferred Shares, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any Preferred Shares at less than the current market price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash for Preferred Shares or securities which by their
terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Shares, (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 Shares
shall not be taxable to such shareholders. 
  

 19 







 (n) The Company covenants and agrees that it 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 which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), (ii) merge with or into any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the
Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), or (iii) sell or transfer (or permit any Subsidiary to sell or transfer), in one transaction, or a series of related 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) hereof), 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 shareholders of the Person who constitutes, or would constitute, the
“Principal Party” for purposes of Section 13(a) hereof shall have received a distribution of Rights previously owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates and Associates. 
 (o) The Company covenants and agrees that, after the Distribution Date, it will not, except as permitted by Section 23 or
Section 26 hereof, take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time 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 Common Shares payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares, or (iii) combine the
outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the number of Rights associated with each Common Share 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 Common Share following any such event shall equal the result obtained by multiplying the number of Rights associated with each Common Share immediately prior to such event by a fraction the numerator
of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of the event and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately following the occurrence of such event.

 (q) In the event that the Rights become exercisable following a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, the Company, by action of a
majority of the Board, may authorize that the Rights, subject to Section 7(e) hereof, either (i) will only be, or (ii) may, at the option of the holder entitled to exercise the Rights be, exercisable for, in either case 50% of the
Common Shares (or cash or other securities or assets to be substituted for the Adjustment Shares pursuant to subsection (a)(iii)) that would otherwise be purchasable under subsection (a), in consideration of the surrender to the Company of the
Rights so exercised and without other payment of the Purchase Price. Rights exercised under this subsection (q) shall be deemed to have been exercised in full and shall be canceled. 
  

 20 







 Section 12. Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares. 
 Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Section 11 or Section 13 hereof, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting
forth such adjustment and a brief, reasonably detailed statement of the facts and computations accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Rights Agent, and with each transfer agent for the Preferred Shares and the Common Shares,
a copy of such certificate, and (c) mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Rights Certificate (or, if prior to the Distribution Date, to each holder of a certificate representing Common Shares) in accordance with Section 25
hereof. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein contained and shall have no duty with respect to and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it
shall have received such a certificate. 
 Section 13. Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Transfer of Assets or
Earning Power. 
 (a) In the event that, following the Stock Acquisition Date, directly or indirectly, (x) the
Company shall consolidate with, or merge with and into, any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), 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 which complies with Section 11(o) hereof) 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 Common Shares shall be changed 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), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, assets or earning power
aggregating more than 50% of the assets, operating income, cash flow or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any Person or Persons (other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in one or more
transactions each of which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), then, and in each such case and except as contemplated by subsection (d), proper provision shall be made so that: 
 (i) each holder of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(e) hereof or subsection (e), shall thereafter have the right to receive,
upon the exercise thereof at the then current Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such number of validly authorized and issued, fully paid, non assessable and freely tradeable Common Shares of the Principal Party (as such
term is hereinafter defined), not subject to any liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal or other adverse claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by (1) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of Preferred Share
Fractions 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 shares for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior 

  

 21 







 
to such first occurrence), and (2) dividing that product (which, following the first occurrence of a Section 13 Event, shall be referred to as the
“Purchase Price” for each Right and for all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the current market price (determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) hereof) per Common Share 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 thereafter be deemed to refer to such Principal Party, it being specifically intended that the provisions of Section 11 hereof 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 its Common Shares) in connection with the consummation of any such transaction as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to its Common
Shares thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights; and 
 (v) the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof
shall be of no 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 subsection (a),
the Person that is the issuer of any securities into which Common Shares of the Company are converted in such merger or consolidation, and if no securities are so issued, the Person that is the other party to such merger or consolidation; and

 (ii) in the case of any transaction described in clause (z) of the first sentence of subsection (a), the Person that
is the party receiving the greatest portion of the assets or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions; provided, however, that in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, (1) if the Common Shares of such
Person are not at such time and have not been continuously over the preceding twelve (12) month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person the Common Shares
of which are and have been so registered, “Principal Party” shall refer to such other Person, and (2) in case such Person is a Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of more than one Person, the Common Shares of two or more of which are
and have been so registered, “Principal Party” shall refer to whichever of such Persons is the issuer of the Common Shares having the greatest aggregate market value. 
 (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 Shares 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 paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 and further providing that, as soon as practicable after the date of any
Section 13 event, the Principal Party will 
 (i) prepare and file a registration statement under the Act, with respect
to the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to (A) become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and
(B) remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Act) until the Expiration Date; 
  

 22 







 (ii) use its best efforts to qualify or register Rights and the securities purchasable
upon exercise of the Rights under blue sky laws of such jurisdiction, as may be necessary or appropriate; and 
 (iii) 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. 
 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 solely in the manner described in Section 13(a).

 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 13 (other than this subsection (d)) shall not
be applicable to, and the term “Section 13 Event” shall not include, a transaction described in subparagraphs (x) and (y) of Section 13(a) if (i) such transaction is consummated with a Person, or Persons who acquired
Common Shares pursuant to a Qualifying Offer (or a wholly owned Subsidiary of any such Person or Persons), (ii) the price per Common Share offered in such transaction is not less than the price per Common Share paid to all holders of Common
Shares whose shares were purchased pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer and (iii) the form of consideration being offered to the remaining holders of Common Shares pursuant to such transaction is the same as the form of consideration
paid pursuant to such tender or exchange offer. Upon consummation of any such transaction contemplated by this subsection (d), all Rights hereunder shall expire. 
 (e) In the event that the Rights become exercisable under subsection (a) (except as provided in subsection (d)), the Company, by
action of a majority of the Board, may authorize that the Rights either (i) will only be or (ii) may, at the option of the Principal Party be, exercisable for, 50% of the Common Shares of the Principal Party that would otherwise be
purchasable under subsection (a), in consideration of the surrender to the Principal Party, as the successor to the Company under subsection (a)(ii), of the Rights so exercised and without other payment of the Purchase Price. Rights exercised under
this subsection (e) shall be deemed to have been exercised in full and shall be canceled. 
 Section 14. Fractional Rights and
Fractional Shares. 
 (a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights, except prior to the Distribution
Date as provided in Section 11(p) hereof, or to distribute Rights Certificates that evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights, there shall be paid 

  

 23 







 
to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the
same fraction of the current market value of a whole Right. For purposes of this subsection (a), the current 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 the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular
way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on the New
York Stock 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 applicable 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 the Board. 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 the Board shall be used. 
 (b) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Preferred Shares upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Preferred Shares, except in each case for fractions
which are integral multiples of Preferred Shares. In lieu of fractional Preferred Shares that are not integral multiples of Preferred Shares, the Company may pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised
as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a Preferred Share. For purposes of this subsection (b), the current market value of one Preferred Share shall be the closing price of a Preferred Share
(as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(ii) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. 
 (c) Following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of
fractional Common Shares, the Company may pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of one Common Share. For
purposes of this subsection (c), the current market value of one Common Share shall be the closing price of one Common Share (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for, the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such
exercise. 
 (d) Whenever a payment for fractional Rights or fractional shares is to be made by the Rights Agent, the Company
shall (i) promptly prepare and deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the facts related to such payment and the process and/or formulas utilized in calculating such payments, and (ii) provide
sufficient monies to the Rights Agent in the form of fully collected funds to make such payments. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such certificate and shall have no duty with respect to and shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any payment for fractional Rights or fractional shares under this Section 14 unless and until it shall have received such a certificate and sufficient monies. 
  

 24 







 (e) The holder of a Right or a beneficial interest in a Right by the acceptance thereof
expressly waives his right to receive any fractional Rights or any fractional Common Shares upon exercise of a Right, except as permitted by this Section 14. 
 Section 15. Rights of Action. 
 All rights of action in respect of this Agreement are vested in the
respective registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common Shares); and any registered holder of any Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of the Common
Shares), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of the Common Shares), may, in his own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any
suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, his 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 or beneficial interests therein, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights or beneficial interests therein 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 or a beneficial interest in a Right by accepting the same consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other such holder that: 
 (a) prior to the Distribution Date, beneficial interests in the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of Common
Shares; 
 (b) after the Distribution Date, the Rights Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights
Agent if surrendered at the principal office or offices 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 fully executed; 
 (c) subject to Section 6(a) and Section 7(f) hereof, the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose
name a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the
Rights Certificates or the associated Common Share certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be required to be affected by any notice to the
contrary; and 
 (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 a beneficial interest in a Right or other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations 

  

 25 







 
under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree, judgment or ruling (whether interlocutory or final) 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, the Company must use its best efforts to have any such order, decree, judgment or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as possible. 
 Section 17. Rights Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. 
 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 Preferred Share Fractions or any other securities of the Company
(including the Common Shares) that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Rights represented 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 shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive
notice of meetings or other actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in Section 24 hereof), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate shall have been
exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
 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 and counsel fees and disbursements and other disbursements incurred in the preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and
performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents, for and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, claim,
demand, settlement, cost or expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent or any such indemnified party, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this Agreement or the exercise of its duties hereunder, including without limitation the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises. 
 (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 the acceptance and administration of this Agreement or in the exercise of its duties hereunder in reliance upon any Rights Certificate or certificate for Common Shares 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 be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by
the proper Person or Persons. 
  

 26 







 Section 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. 
 (a) Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person
resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the shareholder services or stock transfer business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent,
shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, however, that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a
successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. 
 (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, and only the duties and obligations, expressly imposed by this Agreement (and no implied duties or
obligations) upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Rights Certificates or beneficial interests in the Rights, 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 advice or written opinion of such
counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent, and the Rights Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of, any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such advice or
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, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) 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 and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent
shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted 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 willful misconduct; provided, however, that
the Rights Agent shall not be liable for special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. 
  

 27 







 (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 or be 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 be under any liability or responsibility in respect of the
validity of any provision of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of 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 condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any adjustment required under the provisions of this Agreement or
responsible 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 actual
notice of any such adjustment); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Rights Certificate or as to
whether any Common Shares or Preferred Shares will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 
 (f) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the
Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (g) The Rights
Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any one of 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 such instructions shall be full authorization and protection for the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent
shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer. The Rights Agent may conclusively rely on the most recent instructions provided
to it by any such officer. 
 (h) The Rights Agent and any shareholder, affiliate, 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 be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully
and freely as though it were not the Rights Agent under this Agreement and none of such actions shall constitute a breach of trust. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other
Person or legal entity. 
 (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, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company
or any other Person resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection and continued employment thereof. 
  

 28 







 (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 hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if it believes 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 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. 
 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 (30) days’ prior written notice mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares and Preferred Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates by first-class mail. The
Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares and
Preferred Shares, by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates by first-class mail. 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 (30) 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 the holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company), then any registered holder of any Rights Certificate 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 such a court, shall be (a) a Person organized, doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States or
of any state, having a principal office in the State of New York or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that is authorized by law to exercise shareholder services and stock transfer powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority and that has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or (b) an Affiliate of any such person. 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 Common Shares and Preferred Shares and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates or, prior to the Distribution Date, to the registered holders of the Common
Shares. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency and trust created by this Agreement, any of 

  

 29 







 
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. 
 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, as the case may be. 
 Section 22. Issuance of New Rights
Certificates. 
 Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of 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 its Board to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property purchasable under the
Rights Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, in connection with the issuance, sale or delivery of Common Shares following the Distribution Date and prior to the redemption or expiration of the Rights,
the Company (a) shall, with respect to Common Shares so issued, sold or delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights, grants or awards outstanding on the Distribution Date under any benefit plan or arrangement
for employees or directors, or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities outstanding on the Record Date or hereinafter issued by the Company, and (b) may, in any other case, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board, issue
Rights Certificates representing 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) The Board may, at its option, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on
the tenth day following a Stock Acquisition Date (or, if the Stock Acquisition Date shall have occurred prior to the Record Date, the Close of Business on the tenth day following the Record Date), or (ii) the Close of Business on the Final
Expiration Date, redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right, as such amount may be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after
the date hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”) and the Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price either in Common Shares (based on the “current market price”, as defined
in Section 11(d)(i) hereof, of the Common Shares at the time of redemption) or cash; provided, however, if, following the occurrence of a Stock Acquisition Date and following the expiration of the right of 

  

 30 







 
redemption hereunder but prior to any Triggering Event, (1) an Acquiring Person shall have transferred or otherwise disposed of a number of Common
Shares in one transaction or series of transactions, not directly or indirectly involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which did not result in the occurrence of a Triggering Event or the Company shall have issued additional equity
securities, in either instance such that such Person is thereafter a Beneficial Owner of 20% or less of the outstanding Common Shares, and (2) there is no other Acquiring Person immediately following the occurrence of the event described in
clause (1), then the right of redemption shall be reinstated and thereafter be subject to the provisions of this Section 23. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable after the
first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event until such time as the Company’s right of redemption hereunder has expired. 
 (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering the redemption of the Rights, without any notice, or further action, 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 the Board 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
by, in the case of notice to holders, mailing such notice to all such holders at each holder’s last address as it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the Transfer
Agent for the Common Shares. Any notice that is mailed 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. Exchange. 
 (a) The Board may, at its option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, exchange all or part of the then outstanding
and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become null and void pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(e) hereof) for Common Shares at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any
stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall not be empowered to effect such
exchange at any time after any Person (other than (i) Alfred P. West, Jr., (ii) any immediate family member of Alfred P. West Jr. who exceeds the 50% Company ownership threshold solely by reason of a transfer of Common Shares from Alfred
P. West Jr. or his spouse to such immediate family member and who does not subsequently acquire at least 1% of the Common Shares outstanding from a source other than Alfred P. West Jr. or his spouse, (iii) the Company, (iv) any Subsidiary
of the Company, (v) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any such Subsidiary, or (vi) any Person organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan), together with all Affiliates and
Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Common Shares then outstanding. 
 (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 24 and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall
terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Common Shares equal to the number of 

  

 31 







 
such Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. 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. The Company shall promptly notify the Rights Agent of any such exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of the
holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such
notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of the Common Shares for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata
based on the number of Rights (other than Rights which have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(e) hereof) held by each holder of Rights. 
 (c) In the event that there shall not be sufficient Common Shares issued but not outstanding or authorized but issued to permit any
exchange of Rights as contemplated in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize additional Common Shares for issuance upon exchange of the Rights. 
 (d) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common
Shares. In lieu of such fractional Common Shares, there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Common Shares would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction
of the current market value of a whole Common Share. For the purposes of this subsection (d), the current market value of a whole Common Share shall be the closing price of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of
Section 11(d) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this Section 24. 
 Section 25.
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 Shares or to make any other distribution to the holders of Preferred Shares (other than a regular quarterly dividend out of earnings or retained earnings of the Company), or
(ii) to offer to the holders of Preferred Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional Preferred Shares or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, or (iii) to effect any
reclassification of its Preferred Shares (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding Preferred Shares), or (iv) to effect any consolidation or merger into or with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the
Company in a transaction which complies with Section 11(o) hereof), 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 transaction or a series of related
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) hereof), or (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Rights Agent and to each holder of a Rights Certificate, to the extent
feasible and in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, 

  

 32 







 
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 Preferred Shares, 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 twenty (20) days prior to the record date for determining holders of Preferred Shares for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action, at least twenty
(20) days prior, to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Preferred Shares, whichever shall be the earlier. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event, (i) the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each
holder of a Rights Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with Section 26 hereof, 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) hereof, and (ii) all references in the preceding paragraph to Preferred Shares shall be deemed thereafter to refer to Common Shares and/or, if appropriate, other securities. 
 Section 26. Notices.

 Section 27. Supplements and Amendments. 
 (a) Prior to the Distribution Date and subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 27, 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 certificates representing Common Shares. From and after the Distribution Date and subject to the penultimate sentence of
this Section 27, 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 (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct
or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein, (iii) to shorten or lengthen any time period hereunder, or (iv) to change or supplement the provisions hereunder in any
manner that the Company may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights Certificates; provided, this Agreement may not be supplemented or amended to lengthen, pursuant to clause
(iii) of this sentence, (A) a time period relating to when the Rights may be redeemed at such time as the Rights are not then redeemable, or (B) 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 that states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this
Section 27, and if requested by the Rights Agent, an opinion of counsel, the Rights Agent shall execute such supplement or amendment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no supplement or amendment that changes
or increases the obligations and duties of the Rights Agent under this Agreement shall be effective without the consent of the Rights Agent. Prior to the Distribution Date, the interests of the beneficial owners of Rights shall be deemed coincident
with the interests of the holders of Common Shares. 
 Section 28. 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 29. Determinations and Actions by the Board, etc. 
 For all purposes of this Agreement, any calculation of the number of Common Shares outstanding at any particular time, including for purposes of
determining the particular percentage of such outstanding Common Shares 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 General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange
Act. The Board shall have the exclusive power and authority to administer this Agreement and to exercise all rights and powers specifically granted to the Board or to the Company, or as may be necessary or advisable in the administration of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the right and power to (i) interpret the provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement (including a
determination to redeem or not redeem the Rights or to amend or supplement the 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 in good faith, shall (x) be final, conclusive and binding on the Company, the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all other Persons, and (y) not subject the Board to any liability to
the holders of the Rights. For purposes of this Agreement, the Rights Agent shall be allowed to assume that all such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations have been done or made by the Board in good faith. 
  

 34 







 Section 30. 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 the Common Shares) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; but 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 the Common Shares). 
 Section 31. 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 unenforceable for any purpose or under any set of circumstances or as applied to any Person, such invalid, void or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction shall continue in effect
to the maximum extent possible for all other purposes, under all other circumstances and as applied to all other Persons; and 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 the Board determines in its good faith judgment that severing the invalid language from this Agreement would adversely affect the purpose or effect of this Agreement, the right of redemption set forth in Section 23 hereof
shall be reinstated and shall not expire until the Close of Business on the tenth day following the date of such determination by the Board. Without limiting the foregoing, if any provisions requiring that a determination be made by less than the
entire Board (or at a time or with the concurrence of a group of directors consisting of less than the entire Board) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such determination shall then
be made by the Board in accordance with applicable law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and by-laws. 
 Section 32.
Governing Law. 
 This Agreement, each Right and each Rights Certificate issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such jurisdiction applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such jurisdiction; except that all
provisions regarding the rights, duties and obligations of the Rights Agent shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such jurisdiction.

 Section 33. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 EXHIBIT A 
 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SEI INVESTMENTS COMPANY 
 AMENDING THE DESIGNATION OF SERIES A JUNIOR
PARTICIPATING 
 PREFERRED SHARES AS A SERIES OF THE SERIES PREFERRED STOCK 
 WHEREAS, SEI Investments Company (the “Corporation”) has authorized, but has never issued any shares of its Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Shares; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the
Corporation (the “Board”) by Article FIFTH of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board hereby amends the number, voting rights, designations, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options,
conversion rights and other special or relative rights of the first series of the Series Preferred Stock, par value $.05 per share, which shall consist of 50,000 shares and shall be designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares (the
“Series A Preferred Shares”); and it is further 
 RESOLVED, that the remaining 10,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall not at this
time be designated and shall remain subject to the provisions of Article Fourth of the Restated Articles of Incorporation. 
 Special Terms
of the Series A Preferred Shares 
 Section 1. Dividends and Distributions. 
 (a) The rate of dividends payable per share of Series A Preferred Shares on the first day of January, April, July and October in each year or such other quarterly payment date as shall be specified by the Board (each
such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of the Series A Preferred Shares, shall be
(rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (i) $160 or (ii), subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 20,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and 20,000 times the aggregate per share
amount (payable in cash, based upon the fair market value at the time the non-cash dividend or other distribution is declared or paid as determined in good faith by the Board) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend
payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporation since the immediately preceding Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of the Series A Preferred Shares. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares shall be paid out of
funds legally available for such purpose. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after December 16, 2008 (the “Rights Declaration Date”) (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amounts to which holders of Series A Preferred Shares were entitled
immediately prior to such event under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying each such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
  

 A-1 







 (b) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding Series A Preferred Shares from the Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such Series A Preferred Shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall
begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of Series A Preferred Shares entitled to receive a quarterly
dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events 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 the Series A Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.

 Section 2. Voting Rights. 
 In addition
to any other voting rights required by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the following voting rights: 
 (a) Subject to the provision
for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each Series A Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to 20,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the
Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of Series A Preferred Shares were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 (b) In the event that dividends upon the Series A Preferred Shares shall be in arrears to an amount equal to six full quarterly dividends thereon, the holders of such
Series A Preferred Shares shall become entitled to the extent hereinafter provided to vote noncumulatively at all elections of directors of the Corporation, and to receive notice of all shareholders’ meetings to be held for such purpose. At
such meetings, to the extent that directors are being elected, the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares voting as a class shall be entitled solely to elect two members of the Board; and all other directors of the Corporation shall be elected by
the other shareholders of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors. Such voting rights of the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares shall continue until all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon shall have been paid or
funds sufficient therefor set aside, whereupon all such voting rights of the holders of shares of such series shall cease, subject to being again revived from time to time upon the reoccurrence of the conditions above described as giving rise
thereto. 
  

 A-2 







 At any time when such right to elect directors separately as a class shall have so vested, the
Corporation may, and upon the written request of the holders of record of not less than 20% of the then outstanding total number of shares of all the Series A Preferred Shares having the right to elect directors in such circumstances shall call a
special meeting of holders of such Series A Preferred Shares for the election of directors. In the case of such a written request, such special meeting shall be held within 90 days after the delivery of such request, and, in either case, at the
place and upon the notice provided by law and in the By-laws of the Corporation; provided, that the Corporation shall not be required to call such a special meeting if such request is received less than 120 days before the date fixed for the next
ensuing annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation. Upon the mailing of the notice of such special meeting to the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares, or, if no such meeting be held, then upon the mailing of the notice of the
next annual or special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, the number of directors of the Corporation shall, ipso facto, be increased to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to provide sufficient vacancies to enable the
holders of such Series A Preferred Shares to elect the two directors hereinabove provided for, and all such vacancies shall be filled only by vote of the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares as hereinabove provided. Whenever the number of
directors of the Corporation shall have been increased, the number as so increased may thereafter be further increased or decreased in such manner as may be permitted by the By-laws and without the vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares,
provided that no such action shall impair the right of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares to elect and to be represented by two directors as herein provided. 
 So long as the holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled hereunder to voting rights, any vacancy in the Board caused by the death or resignation of any director elected by the holders of Series A Preferred
Shares, shall, until the next meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, in each case be filled by the remaining director elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Shares having the right to elect directors in such circumstances.

 Upon termination of the voting rights of the holders of any series of Series A Preferred Shares the terms of office of all persons who
shall have been elected directors of the Corporation by vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares or by a director elected by such holders shall forthwith terminate. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation or by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares and the holders of Common Stock (and the holders of shares of any other
series or class entitled to vote thereon) shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation. 
 Section 3. Reacquired Shares. 
 Any Series A Preferred Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any
manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued Series Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Series
Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board. 
  

 A-3 







 Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. 
 In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be
entitled to receive the greater of (a) $100.00 per share, plus accrued dividends to the date of distribution, whether or not earned or declared, or (b) an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
equal to 20,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount to which holders of Series A Preferred Shares
were entitled immediately prior to such event pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Section 5.
Consolidation, Merger, etc. 
 In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in
which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the Series A Preferred Shares shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount
per share (subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 20,000 times 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
Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred
Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Section 6. No Redemption. 
 The Series A Preferred Shares shall not be redeemable. 
 Section 7. Ranking. 
 The Series A Preferred Shares shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation’s Series
Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise. 
  

 A-4 







 Section 8. Fractional Shares. 
 Series A Preferred Shares may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in
distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Shares.

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 REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BECOME NULL AND VOID IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES SPECIFIED

 SEI INVESTMENTS COMPANY 
 RIGHTS CERTIFICATE 
 This certifies that
                            , or registered assigns, is the registered owner of the number of Rights
set forth above, each of which entitles the owner thereof, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2009 (the “Rights Agreement”), between SEI Investments Company, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the “Company”), and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Rights Agent”), to purchase from the Company at any time prior to 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on
January 6, 2019 at the office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, or its successors as Rights Agent, one twenty-thousandths of a fully paid, nonassessable Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share (the
“Preferred Share”) of the Company, at a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $150.00 per one twenty-thousandths of a Preferred Share (such fraction, a “Preferred Share Fraction”), upon presentation and surrender of
this Rights Certificate with the Form of Election to Purchase and related Certificate duly executed. Except as provided in Sections 11(q) and 13(e) of the Rights Agreement, the Purchase Price shall be paid at the option of the Company, in cash or
Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Shares”) having an equivalent value. The number of Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate (and the number of Preferred Share Fractions that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) set forth
above, and the Purchase Price per Preferred Share Fraction set forth above, are the number and Purchase Price as of January 6, 2009, based on the Preferred Shares as constituted at such date. 
 Except as otherwise provided in the Rights Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Section 11(a)(ii) Event (as such term is defined in the Rights
Agreement), if the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate are beneficially owned by (i) an Acquiring Person or Affiliate or Associate of any Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), (ii) a transferee of
any Acquiring Person (or any such Affiliate or Associate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such, or (iii) under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement, a transferee of a person who, after such
transfer, became an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person, such 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 any such
Section 11(a)(ii) Event. 
 As provided in the Rights Agreement, the Purchase Price and the number and kind of Preferred Shares or other
securities that may be purchased upon the exercise of the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate are subject to modification and adjustment upon the happening of certain events, including Triggering Events and a Section 11(a)(ii) Event.

 This Rights Certificate is subject to all of the terms, covenants and restrictions of the Rights Agreement, which terms, covenants and
restrictions 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, which limitations of rights include the temporary suspension of the exercisability of such Rights under the specific circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement. Copies of the
Rights Agreement are on file at the above-mentioned office of the Rights Agent and are also available upon written request to the Company.

 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 Rights entitling the holder to purchase a like aggregate number of Preferred Share Fractions as the
Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered shall have entitled such holder to purchase. If this Rights Certificate shall be exercised in part, the 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 at its option at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right at any time prior to the earlier of the Close of Business (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) on
(i) the tenth day following the Stock Acquisition Date (as such time period may be extended pursuant to the Rights Agreement) and (ii) the Final Expiration Date. 
 No fractional Preferred Shares will be issued upon the exercise of any Right or Rights evidenced hereby (other than fractions which are integral
multiples of a Preferred Share, which may, as the election of the Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts), but in lieu thereof a cash payment will be made, as provided in the Rights Agreement. 
 No holder of this Rights Certificate shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Preferred Shares or of any
other securities of the Company (including Common Shares) 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 shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or, to receive notice of meetings
or other actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in the Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate shall have been exercised as provided
in the Rights Agreement. 
 This Rights Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned
by the Rights Agent.

 EXHIBIT C 
 SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE PREFERRED SHARES 
 On December 16, 2008 the Board of Directors of SEI
Investments Company (the “Company”) declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (each, a “Common Share”) of the Company to shareholders of record at the close of
business on January 6, 2009. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one twenty-thousandths of a share (a “Unit”) of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares, par value
$0.05 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”), or a combination of securities and assets of equivalent value, at a Purchase Price of $150.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth
in a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Rights Agent. 
 Initially, ownership of the Rights will be evidenced by the Common Share certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate Rights Certificates will be distributed. Generally, the Rights will separate from the Common Shares
and a Distribution Date will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) is the beneficial owner of more than 20% of
the outstanding Common Shares (the “Stock Acquisition Date”), or (ii) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Shares. Until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the Common Share certificates and will be transferred with and only with such Common Share certificates, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued
after January 6, 2009 will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated
with the Common Shares represented by such certificate. 
 The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the
close of business on January 6, 2019, unless earlier redeemed or amended by the Company as described below or unless a transaction under Section 13(d) of the Rights Agreement has occurred. 
 As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of
business on the Distribution Date and, thereafter, the separate Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, and except in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or
stock appreciation rights or under any other benefit plan for employees or directors or in connection with the exercise of warrants or conversion of convertible securities, only Common Shares issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with
Rights. 
 Except in the circumstances described below, after the Distribution Date each Right will be exercisable into one
twenty-thousandths of a Preferred Share (a “Preferred Share Fraction”). Each Preferred Share Fraction carries voting and dividend rights that are intended to produce the equivalent of one Common Share. The voting and dividend rights of the
Preferred Shares are subject to adjustment in the event of dividends, subdivisions and combinations with respect to the Common Shares of the Company. In lieu of issuing certificates for Preferred Share Fractions which are less than an integral
multiple of one Preferred Share (i.e., 20,000 Preferred Share Fractions), the Company may pay cash representing the current market value of the Preferred Share Fractions. 
  


 1 







 In the event that at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company is the surviving
corporation in a merger with an Acquiring Person and its Common Shares remain outstanding, (ii) a Person becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the then outstanding Common Shares other than pursuant to a tender offer that provides
fair value to all shareholders, (iii) a person becomes, after January 6, 2009, the beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, (iv) an Acquiring Person engages in one or more “self-dealing”
transactions as set forth in the Rights Agreement, or (v) during such time as there is an Acquiring Person an event occurs that results in such Acquiring Person’s ownership interest being increased by more than 1% (e.g., a reverse stock
split), each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right. In lieu of requiring payment of the Purchase Price upon exercise of the Rights following any such event, the Company may permit the holders simply to surrender the Rights, in which event they will be entitled to receive Common Shares (and
other property, as the case may be) with a value of 50% of what could be purchased by payment of the full Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv) or (v) of this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person who was involved in the transaction giving rise to any such event will
be null and void. However, Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of any of the events set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below. 
 For example, at an exercise price of $150.00 per Right, each Right not otherwise voided following an event set forth in the preceding paragraph would
entitle its holder to purchase $300.00 worth of Common Shares (or other consideration, as noted above) for $150.00. Assuming that the Common Shares had a per share value of $75.00 at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be entitled to
purchase four Common Shares for $150.00. Alternatively, the Company could permit the holder to surrender each Right in exchange for stock or cash equivalent to two Common Shares (with a value of $150.00) without the payment of any consideration
other than the surrender of the Right. 
 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 in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger that is described in, or that follows a tender offer or exchange offer described in, the second preceding
paragraph), or (ii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights that previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon
exercise, common shares of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Again, provision is made to permit surrender of the Rights in exchange for one-half of the value otherwise purchasable. The events
set forth in this paragraph and in the second preceding paragraph are referred to as the “Triggering Events.” 
  

 2 







 The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of Preferred Shares or other securities or property
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 Shares, (ii) if holders of
the Preferred Shares are granted certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Shares or convertible securities at less than the current market price of the Preferred Shares, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred
Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular quarterly dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). 
 With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. No fractional Units will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an
adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Shares on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise. 
 At any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right. That ten day redemption period may be extended by the Board of Directors so long as
the Rights are still redeemable. Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.01 redemption price.

 Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a shareholder 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 shareholders or to the Company, shareholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the
Rights become exercisable for Preferred Shares (or other consideration) of the Company or for common shares of the acquiring company as set forth above. 
 Any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended
by the Board in order to cure any ambiguity, 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. 
 A copy of the Rights Agreement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company. This summary
description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
