this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that a representation or warranty speaks to an earlier date, in which case, as of such 

  
 2 








 
earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect, and
(B) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c)(1), 2.1(e) and 2.1(h) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and

shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the
consummation of the transactions that this Agreement contemplates or the ability of the Purchaser to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement; 

  
 3 








 (2) the Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all obligations

 5

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”). This Agreement has been, and (as of the Closing) the other Transaction Documents shall be, duly and
validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, is, and (as of the Closing) each of the other Transaction Documents shall be, a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles). No other corporate proceedings (including any vote of the holders of the Company’s capital stock) are necessary for the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents, the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Company has elected, in
accordance with Section 203(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 

(2) Neither the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the Company’s compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including the conversion or exercise provisions of the Series A
Preferred Stock), shall: 
 (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, require any payment to or
consent or other action by any person under, or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in
a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the material properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the certificate of
incorporation of the Company (as amended, restated or modified from time to time prior to the date of this Agreement, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or bylaws of the Company (as amended, restated or modified from time to time prior to
the date of this Agreement, the “Bylaws”) or the certificate of incorporation, charter, bylaws or other governing instrument of any Company Subsidiary or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease,
agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company
Subsidiary may be subject; or 

  
 6 








 (B) violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit, franchise or
any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and (B) for such violations, conflicts and
breaches as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 

(3) Other than under applicable federal securities Laws, the securities or blue sky Laws of the various states and approval or
expiration of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act, no notice to, registration, declaration or filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, order, consent or approval of any Governmental Entity, nor expiration or termination of any
statutory waiting period, is necessary for the consummation by the Company of the transactions that this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents contemplate. 

(d) Sale of Securities. Based in part on the Purchaser’s representations in Section 2.2, the offer and sale of the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company
nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other person that the Company authorizes to act on its behalf, has engaged in a general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) of investors with
respect to offers or sales of the Series A Preferred Stock and neither the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any person acting on the Company’s behalf has made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any
security, under circumstances that would cause the offering or issuance of Series A Preferred Stock under this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would result in none of Regulation
D or any other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act to be available, nor shall the Company take any action or steps that would cause the offering or issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock under this Agreement to be
integrated with other offerings. 
 (e) Status of Securities. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to this
Agreement, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. When issued and sold against receipt of the consideration therefor as provided in
this Agreement or the Series A Certificate, such securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, shall not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and shall effectively vest in the Purchaser good
title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws), except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, the Shareholder’s Agreement and any applicable state or foreign
securities laws. Upon any conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the Series A Certificate, the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
shall not be subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company, and shall effectively vest in the Purchaser good title to all such securities, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions arising under applicable
securities Laws), except restrictions imposed by the Securities Act, the Shareholder’s Agreement 

  
 7 








 
and any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The respective rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock are as stated in the
Certificate of Incorporation (including the Series A Certificate). The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock have been duly reserved for such issuance. 

(f) SEC Documents; Financial Statements. 

(1) The Company has filed all required reports, proxy statements, forms, and other documents with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) since December 31, 2012 (collectively, the “SEC Documents”). Each of the SEC Documents, as of its respective date complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to such SEC Documents, and, except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Document has been
revised or a later filed SEC Document filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement has superseded any such earlier SEC Document, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated in such SEC Document or necessary to make the statements in such SEC Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 

(2) The Company (A) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to the individuals
responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the Board of Director’s
audit committee 
 (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls
over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and 

(B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. 
 As of the date of this Agreement, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no
reason that its outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, without qualification, when next due. 

  
 8 








 (3) There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that the Company is required to disclose in its SEC Documents and is not so disclosed. 

(4) The financial statements of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents 

(A) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and
regulations of the SEC with respect to such financial statements, in each case as of the date that the Company filed such SEC Document, and 

(B) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in such financial statements or the notes to such financial statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the
Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates of such financial statements and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to the absence of
footnote disclosures and normal audit adjustments). 
 (g) Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for (1) those liabilities that are
reflected or reserved for in the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, (2) liabilities incurred since March 31, 2015 in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice, (3) liabilities incurred pursuant to the transactions that this Agreement contemplates and (4) liabilities that would not, individually and in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have

 ARTICLE IV 

TAX MATTERS 
 4.1
Withholding. (a) The Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold taxes on all payments on or with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock to the extent that law requires. Prior to the date of any such payment, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause any of its Affiliates to which it (or any other transferee) has transferred Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any other
security, to deliver to the Company and, if applicable, to its paying agent a duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an appropriate, duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 (including any supporting documentation), as applicable. 
 (b) Absent a change in law or Internal Revenue Service
practice, or a contrary determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), the Purchaser and the Company agree not to treat the Series A Preferred Stock (based on their terms as set forth in the Series A


  
 21 








 
Certificate) as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code, and Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-5 for United States federal income tax and withholding
tax purposes and shall not take any position inconsistent with such treatment. 
 (c) The Purchaser and the Company agree to cooperate with
each other in connection with any redemption of part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and to use good faith efforts to structure such redemption so that such redemption may be treated as a sale or exchange pursuant to Section 302 of
the Code so long as such structuring does not materially disadvantage the Company as compared with a redemption of part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided that nothing in this Section 4.1(c) shall require the
Company to purchase any shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided further that the Company makes no representation or warranty hereunder regarding the tax treatment of any redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, and provided further that,
for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no additional liability pursuant to this Section 4.1 solely as a result of its inability, after exercising good faith efforts and otherwise complying with this Section 4.1,
to structure such redemption in a manner that results in treatment as a sale or exchange pursuant to Section 302 of the Code. 
 4.2
Transfer Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issue or transfer tax due on (x) the issue of the Series A Preferred Stock and (y) the issue of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock. However, in the case of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or
Series A Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the holder of the shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty,
or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. 
 ARTICLE V 

INDEMNITY 
 5.1
Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, employees and agents (collectively, “Purchaser Related Parties”)
from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses (including losses arising from the diminution in value of the Company as a result of such indemnification by the Company), damages, actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action (“Losses”), and, in connection with any Losses, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities, damages or
expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred
by them or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, incurred by or asserted against such Purchaser Related Parties, as a result of or arising out of: 

  
 22 








 (a) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or other claim (including for these purposes a
derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against the Company, the Board of Directors or any Purchaser Related Party in any capacity (including in such Purchaser Related Party’s capacity as a director of the Company) by any
person with respect to or arising out of the negotiation, authorization, approval, execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (and any public disclosure related to any of the
foregoing), including any such claim alleging a breach of fiduciary duty of the Board of Directors or any current or former member thereof (except to the extent the Losses arising out of such claim result from a breach of the Purchaser’s
representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or such cause of action, suit or other claim is initiated by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, officers, employees or limited partners (other than to enforce the
indemnification obligations under this Section 5.1 or is brought by way of defense or counterclaim)). To the extent that the undertaking by the Company referred to in the foregoing Section 5.1(a) may be unenforceable for
any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of the Losses referred to in such clause which is permissible under applicable Law; 

(b) the failure of the representations or warranties that the Company made contained in Section 2.1(a),
2.1(b), 2.1(c)(1), 2.1(e), 2.1(f)(1), 2.1(f)(4) to be true and correct; or 
 (c) the
breach of any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement; 
 provided that in the case of the immediately preceding clause (b), such
claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 5.5; provided, further, that for purposes of
determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Purchaser Related Party shall have given written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Company shall constitute the date
upon which such claim has been made; provided, further, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Losses and for determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred for purposes of this
Section 5.1, all materiality and Company Material Adverse Effect qualifiers contained in Sections 2.1(a) (other than the first materiality qualifier in Section 2.1(a)(2)), 2.1(b), 2.1(c)(1), and
2.1(e) shall be disregarded therefrom. 
 5.2 Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company
and its officers, directors, managers, employees, and agents (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses, and, in connection with any Losses, and promptly upon demand, pay or
reimburse each of them for all reasonable costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them), whether or not involving a Third Party Claim, incurred by or asserted against such Company Related Parties as a
result of or arising out of: 

  
 23 








 (a) the failure of any of the representations or warranties that the Purchaser made contained in
this Agreement to be true and correct; or 
 (b) the breach of any of the covenants of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; 

provided that in the case of the immediately preceding clause (a), such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of any representation or
warranty is made prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 5.5; provided, further, that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a
Company Related Party shall have given written notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Purchaser shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made. 

5.3 Indemnification Procedure. 

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the party from whom
indemnification is sought; provided, that failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not preclude the indemnified party from any indemnification that it may claim in accordance with this Article V, except as otherwise provided
in Sections 5.1 and 5.2. 
 (b) Promptly after any Company Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (as used in this
Article V, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, or a third person commences any action, suit or proceeding, that the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an
indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third Party Claim but failure or delay
to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or
delay. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of, and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any
such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. 
 If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to assume and control
the defense or settle such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) business days after notice of such claim, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate
with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense of such Third Party Claim or the settlement of such Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the
Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information that the Indemnifying Party reasonably requests and that is in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the
Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses that the Indemnified Party incurs in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled: 

  
 24 








 (1) at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability
and any negotiations of the settlement of such asserted liability; and 
 (2) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has,
within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, failed to (x) assume the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim and (y) notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption, or (B) the
defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or
in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then, in each case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to select a separate counsel and, upon prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party, to assume such settlement or legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the Indemnifying Party to reimburse expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation as incurred. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying
Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement of such indemnified claim imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not contain
any admission of wrongdoing by, the Indemnified Party. In addition, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of
which any Purchaser Related Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Purchaser Related Party, unless such settlement imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from
liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, such Purchaser Related Party. 
 (c) Sections 5.1(a) and
5.3, which shall survive the Closing and shall continue indefinitely, are intended to benefit all Purchaser Related Parties (and their respective heirs, successors and assigns), each of whom may enforce the provisions of Sections
5.1(a) and 5.3 (whether or not they are a party to this Agreement). 
 5.4 Tax Matters. All indemnification payments under
this Article V shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, except as applicable Law otherwise requires. 

5.5 Survival. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive for twelve months following
the Closing, except that (x) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b), 2.1(c)(1) and 2.1(e) shall survive indefinitely and (y) the representations and
warranties of the Purchaser contained in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b)(1) shall survive indefinitely. All of the covenants or other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive until fully performed or fulfilled,
unless and to the extent that the party entitled to such performance waives the non-compliance with such covenants or agreements. 

  
 25 








 5.6 Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, except
in the case of fraud, neither party to this Agreement shall have any liability to the other party in excess of the Purchase Price, and neither party shall be liable for any exemplary or punitive damages or any other damages to the extent not
reasonably foreseeable arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (in each case, unless any such damages are awarded pursuant to a Third Party Claim).

respect to any party unless made in writing and signed by an officer or a duly authorized representative of such party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of
any such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing are for the sole benefit of such party and such party may waive such condition in whole or in part to the extent applicable law permits. No waiver by any party to this Agreement
shall be effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
 6.3 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. For the
convenience of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same
agreement. Executed signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission and such facsimiles or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature pages
had been delivered. 
 6.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of such state. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, or if such court lacks subject matter

on such party. 
 6.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY

shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; 

  
 33 








 (c) by notice given by the Company to the Purchaser, if there have been one or more inaccuracies
in or breaches of one or more representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement such that the conditions in Section 1.3(c)(1) or (2) would not be satisfied and which have not been

(d) Holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend in excess of full cumulative dividends. 

  
 9 








 (e) If any Dividend Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment
will be on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or dividends on such payment will accrue or accumulate as the case may be, in respect of the delay. 

(f) The Holders of shares of Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend
payment on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares in accordance with Section 9 following such Dividend Record Date or the Company’s default in payment of the dividend due on
such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided in Sections 9, 10 and 11, the Company shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares of Preferred Stock or for dividends on the shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion. 
 4. Optional Redemption.  

(a) No sinking fund is provided for the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the date
that is five years following the Issue Date. On or after the date that is five years following the Issue Date, the Company may redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Stock, at the
Redemption Price in accordance with this Section 4. 
 (b) In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to
redeem all of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(a), it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Transfer Agent not less than 55 calendar days prior to
the Redemption Date (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Transfer Agent), the Transfer Agent, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such Optional Redemption (a
“Redemption Notice”) not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Preferred Stock at its last address as the same appears on the Company’s stock register; provided,
however, that, if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Transfer Agent. The Redemption Date must be a Business Day. 

(c) The Redemption Notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice by mail or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any share of Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for the redemption of any other share of Preferred Stock. 
 (d) Each Redemption Notice shall specify: 

(i) the Redemption Date; 

(ii) the Redemption Price; 

(iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each share of Preferred Stock, and
that any dividends thereon shall cease to accumulate on and after the Redemption Date; 
 (iv) the place or places where such
shares of Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; 

  
 10 








 (v) that Holders may surrender their shares of Preferred Stock for conversion at
any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date; 
 (vi) the procedures
a converting Holder must follow to convert its Preferred Stock; 
 (vii) the Conversion Rate; and 

(viii) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Preferred Stock. 

A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. 

(e) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 4(b), Holders of the Preferred Stock
shall surrender any shares of Preferred Stock that have not been converted prior to the related Redemption Date to the Company on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice. Prior to the open of business on the
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Transfer Agent an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed
on such Redemption Date. 
 On the later of the Redemption Date and the date of presentation and surrender by the relevant Holder of
the Preferred Stock at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Company shall pay the Redemption Price to such Holder of the Preferred Stock by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock
entitled thereto as they shall appear in the share register of the Company; provided, however, that payments to the Depository shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depository or its
nominee. The Transfer Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price. 

(f) From and after the Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in providing for the payment of the Redemption Price), dividends will
cease to accrue on the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the Holders of the Preferred Stock will terminate, except the right to receive the Redemption Price payable upon redemption. 

(g) The Company shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Optional Redemption unless the Redemption Price is paid solely in cash
on the Redemption Date, including with respect to any Accumulated Dividends as of the Redemption Date. 
 5. Repurchase Upon a
Fundamental Change. 
 (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s
option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock, or any portion thereof, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than
[5] Scheduled Trading Days nor more than [10] Scheduled Trading Days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at  

  
 11 








 
a repurchase price equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus Accumulated Dividends thereon to, but excluding, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Dividend Record Date but on or prior to the Dividend Payment Date to which such Dividend Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay
the full amount of Accumulated Dividends to Holders of record as of such Dividend Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference of the Preferred Stock to be repurchased pursuant to this
Section 5. 
 (b) Repurchases of Preferred Stock under this Section 5 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

 (i) delivery to the Transfer Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice”) in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto, if the Preferred Stock is represented by Certificated Preferred Stock, or in compliance with the Depository’s procedures for surrendering interests in Preferred Stock, if the
Preferred Stock is represented by Global Preferred Stock, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and 

(ii) delivery of the Preferred Stock, if the Preferred Stock is represented by Certificated Preferred Stock, to the Transfer
Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the office of the Transfer Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Preferred Stock, if the Preferred Stock is
represented by Global Preferred Stock, in compliance with the procedures of the Depository, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor. 

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Preferred Stock to be repurchased shall state: 

(i) in the case of Preferred Stock represented by Certificated Preferred Stock, the certificate numbers of the Preferred Stock
to be delivered for repurchase; 
 (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be repurchased; and 

(iii) that the shares of Preferred Stock are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof;

 provided, however, that if the Preferred Stock are represented by Global Preferred Stock, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must
comply with appropriate Depository procedures. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the
Transfer Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 5(b) shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Transfer Agent in accordance with Section 5(d). 

  
 12 








 The Transfer Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof. 
 (c) The Company must give notice (a “Fundamental Change
Company Notice”) of each Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof to all Holders of the Preferred Stock no later than two Business Days following the Effective Date of the
Fundamental Change. In the case of Preferred Stock represented by Certificated Preferred Stock, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Preferred Stock represented by Global Preferred Stock, such notice shall be delivered in
accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify: 
 (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change; 

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change; 

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 5; 

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; 

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; 

(vi) the name and address of the Transfer Agent and the conversion agent, if applicable; 

(vii) if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate; 

(viii) that the shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a
Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms hereof (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price); and 

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Preferred Stock. 

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the
validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5(c). 
 At the Company’s
request, the Transfer Agent shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the
Company. 
 (d) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the office of the Transfer Agent in accordance with this Section 5(d) at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying: 

  
 13 








 (i) the number of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted, 
 (ii) if Certificated Preferred Stock has been issued, the certificate number(s) of the
shares of Preferred Stock in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and 
 (iii) the number of shares
of Preferred Stock represented by such Certificated Preferred Stock that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice; 

provided, however, that if the Preferred Stock is represented by Global Preferred Stock, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of
the Depository. 
 (e) The Company will deposit with the Transfer Agent (or other paying agent appointed by the Company) prior to the
open of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the shares of Preferred Stock to be repurchased at
the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or shares of Preferred Stock by the Transfer Agent (or such paying agent), payment for shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior
to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of: 

(i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 5(b)); and 

(ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Preferred Stock to the Transfer Agent by the Holder thereof in the
manner required by Section 5(b) by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock entitled thereto as they shall appear in the share register of the Company; 

provided, however, that payments to the Depository shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the
Depository or its nominee. The Transfer Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. 

(f) If by the open of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Transfer Agent (or other paying agent appointed by the Company)
holds money sufficient to make payment on all the shares of Preferred Stock that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock that have been properly surrendered for repurchase
and have not been validly withdrawn, such shares will cease to be outstanding, dividends will cease to accumulate on such shares (whether or not book-entry transfer of such shares has been made or the shares have been delivered to the Transfer
Agent) and all other rights of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and, if applicable, Accumulated Dividends). 

  
 14 








 (g) Upon surrender of shares of Preferred Stock represented by Certificated Preferred Stock to be
repurchased in part pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder new certificate(s) representing such Preferred Stock in an authorized denomination equal in number to
the unrepurchased number of shares so surrendered. 
 (h) In connection with any repurchase offer, the Company will, if required: 

(i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act; 

(ii) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and 

(iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the
Preferred Stock; 
 in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Section 5 to be exercised in the time and in the
manner specified in this Section 5. 
 (i) In connection with any Fundamental Change, the Company shall take all actions to
permit the repurchase of the Preferred Stock on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that it reasonably believes (upon the advice of outside counsel) is required or permitted under Delaware law to permit any repurchase of the Preferred Stock,
including through the revaluation of the Company’s assets to the highest amount permitted by law, and take all actions permitted under Delaware law to make funds available (including borrowing funds on prevailing market terms, selling assets on
prevailing market terms and seeking to obtain any and all required governmental or other approvals) for such repurchase to be made in full when due. The Company shall not take any action that materially impairs the Company’s ability to pay the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price when due, including by investing available funds in illiquid assets, except for its normal business assets (the covenants described in this Section 5(i), the “Protective Payment
Obligations”). 
 If, notwithstanding such actions, the Company does not have legally available funds sufficient to pay the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash, the Company will, as soon as the Company is legally able to do so, pay such unpaid amount in cash, and the shares of Preferred Stock in respect of which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price remains
unpaid, determined as if any amounts paid in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on all shares of Preferred Stock subject to repurchase from the relevant Holder were first applied to reduce any Accumulated Dividends thereon and then
to reduce the Liquidation Preference thereof, shall continue to be deemed outstanding, and all of the rights (including, without limitation, the right to accumulate dividends at the then applicable Dividend Rate and the right to convert the
Preferred Stock notwithstanding the earlier delivery by such Holder of a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice), preferences, privileges and voting powers of such shares of Preferred Stock shall continue to inure to the Holder thereof as if such
shares of Preferred Stock had not been subject to the Fundamental Change repurchase. 
 The Company shall continue to comply with the
Protective Payment Obligations until the entire amount of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is paid in full. 

  
 15 








 6. [Reserved.] 

7. Voting. The shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis, with holders of the Common Stock
on all matters submitted to a vote of the common stockholders, except where a separate class vote of the common stockholders is required by Delaware law. In addition: 

(a) On and following the date that is three years following the Issue Date, for so long as the Investment Percentage is at least 33% and
unless two Preferred Stock Directors have already been elected to the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 7(b), 

(i) the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by one; and 

(ii) the Board of Directors shall fill the newly-created vacancy with a director designated by the Investor Parties (the
“Investment Percentage Threshold Director”). 
 (b) Whenever dividends on any shares of Preferred Stock have not
been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more Dividend Periods (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Dividend Period beginning on, and including, the Issue Date and ending on, but excluding, August 15, 2015), whether or not for
consecutive Dividend Periods (a “Nonpayment”), the Holders, voting together as a single class with any other series of Parity Stock having similar voting rights that are exercisable (together, the “Voting Preferred
Stock”) then outstanding, shall be entitled at the Company’s next special or annual meeting of stockholders to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the Board of Directors, or in the event the Investor Parties
are then entitled to elect an Investment Percentage Threshold Director, the Holders will be entitled to elect one additional director for a total of two directors (any directors elected pursuant to this Section 7(b), the “Nonpayment
Directors” and, together with any Investment Percentage Threshold Director, the “Preferred Stock Directors”); provided that the Board of Directors shall at no time include more than two Preferred Stock
Directors.  
 In the event of a Nonpayment, the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors shall be increased by
two, or in the event the Investor Parties are then entitled to elect an Investment Percentage Threshold Director, by one, and the Nonpayment Director(s) shall be elected at a special meeting of stockholders called by the Board of Directors at the
request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the shares of Preferred Stock or of any other series of Voting Preferred Stock (provided that such request is received at least 90 calendar days before the date fixed for the next annual or special
meeting of the stockholders, failing which such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting, so long as the Holders continue to have the rights to elect a Nonpayment Director.

 Whether a plurality, majority or other portion of the Preferred Stock and any other Voting Preferred Stock have been voted in favor of
any matter shall be determined by reference to the respective liquidation preference amounts of the Preferred Stock and such other Voting Preferred Stock voted. 

(i) Any request to call a special meeting for the initial election of any Preferred Stock Directors shall be made by written
notice, signed by the requisite holders of Preferred Stock or Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding, and delivered to the Company in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or as may otherwise be required by law. 

  
 16 








 (ii) If and when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock and
any Voting Preferred Stock have been paid in full, or declared and a sum sufficient for such payment shall have been set aside (a “Nonpayment Remedy”), the Holders shall immediately and, without any further action by the Company, be
divested of the voting rights described in this Section 7(b), subject to: 
 (x) the revesting of such rights in the
event of each subsequent Nonpayment and 
 (y) the Investor Parties’ right to appoint an Investment Percentage Threshold
Director. 
 If such voting rights for the Holders and all other holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall have terminated, the term of office
of each Preferred Stock Director so elected shall terminate at such time and the number of directors on the Board of Directors shall automatically decrease by two or, in the event the Investor Parties are then entitled to elect an Investment
Percentage Threshold Director, by one. 
 (iii) Any Investment Percentage Threshold Director may be removed at any time
without cause by a vote by the Investor Parties, and any Nonpayment Director may be removed at any time without cause by Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock and any Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting
together as a single class), in each case, when they have the rights to elect Preferred Stock Directors described in this Section 7. 

(iv) If the Investor Parties are entitled to elect an Investment Percentage Threshold Director, a vacancy in the office of an
Investment Percentage Threshold Director existing after the initial designation of an Investment Percentage Threshold Director shall be filled by the Board of Directors with a new Investment Percentage Threshold Director designated by the Investor
Parties. 
 (v) In the event that a Nonpayment shall have occurred and there has not been a Nonpayment Remedy, a vacancy in
the office of a Nonpayment Director (other than prior to the initial election of a Nonpayment Director) may be filled by the written consent of any Preferred Stock Director remaining in office or, if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders
of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock and any other shares of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class) when they have the rights to elect a Nonpayment Director described in this
Section 7(b). Any such vote of the Holders and any Voting Preferred Stock to remove, or to fill a vacancy in the office of, a Nonpayment Director may be taken only at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company, called as provided above
for an initial election of a Nonpayment Director (provided that such request is received at least 90 calendar days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, failing which election shall be held
at such next annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company). 

  
 17 








 (vi) The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per
director on any matter that shall come before the Board of Directors for a vote. Each Preferred Stock Director elected at any special meeting of stockholders of the Company or by written consent of the other Preferred Stock Director shall hold
office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company if such office shall not have previously terminated and such Preferred Stock Director shall not have been removed from such office, in each case as above provided. 

(c) So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and any Voting Preferred Stock given in person or by proxy, either in writing
without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating: 
 (i)
any amendment or alteration of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designations so as to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of Parity Stock or Senior Stock; 

(ii) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or this
Certificate of Designations so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock; or 

(iii) any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Preferred Stock, or of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, unless in each case 
 (x) the shares of Preferred Stock remain
outstanding and are not amended in any respect or 
 (y) in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to
which the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, the shares of Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and such preference securities have such
rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to such
consummation, taken as a whole, 
 and so long as, in the case of either clause (x) or clause (y), 

(I) the common stock underlying the Preferred Stock or such replacement preference securities, as the case may be, is listed on
any of The New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or any of their respective successors) and 

(II) if the issuer of the Preferred Stock or such replacement preference securities, as the case may be, is not the issuer of
the underlying common stock, the issuer of the Preferred Stock or the underlying common stock (the “Guarantor”) fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of the issuer 

  
 18 








 
of the Preferred Stock or such replacement preference securities, as the case may be, under the terms thereof, and such guarantee provides that no dividends or other distributions (other than a
dividend or distribution payable solely in shares of Junior Stock or Guarantor Capital Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares) may be declared, made or paid, or set apart for payment upon, any Guarantor Capital Stock, nor may any Parity Stock,
Junior Stock or Guarantor Capital Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any money paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Parity Stock, Junior Stock or Guarantor Capital Stock) by
the Guarantor or on behalf of the Guarantor (except by 
 (i) conversion into or exchange for shares of Junior Stock or
Guarantor Capital Stock and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares of Parity Stock, Junior Stock or Guarantor Capital Stock and 

(ii) payments in connection with the satisfaction of employees’ tax withholding obligations pursuant to employee benefit
plans or outstanding awards (and payment of any corresponding requisite amounts to the appropriate governmental authority)), 
 unless all
Accumulated Dividends shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or are declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment, on the Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for all dividend payment
periods ending on or prior to the date of such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or acquisition; 
 provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if full dividends have not been paid on the Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, dividends may be declared and paid on the Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock so long as the dividends are declared and paid pro
rata so that the amounts of dividends declared per share on the Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Preferred Stock and such
Parity Stock bear to each other at the time of declaration; 
 provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(b),
any increase in the amount of the Company’s authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any shares of Junior Stock, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of Junior Stock, shall not be deemed to materially and
adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of Holders of shares of Preferred Stock specified herein. 
 (d)
Without the consent of the Holders of the Preferred Stock, the Company may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Preferred Stock by amending or supplementing the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of
Designations or any stock certificate representing shares of the Preferred Stock: 
 (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission,
inconsistency or mistake in any such agreement or instrument; or 

  
 19 








 (ii) to make any other change that does not affect the rights, preferences,
privileges or voting powers of any Holder (other than any Holder that consents to such change). 
 8. Liquidation Rights. 

(a) In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder of shares
of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders the Liquidation Preference plus Accumulated Dividends to the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up
or dissolution in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, including, without limitation, the Common Stock.  

(b) Neither the sale (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the
Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company) nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary
or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 8. 
 (c) After the payment to the Holders of the shares of Preferred Stock of full
preferential amounts provided for in this Section 8, the Holders of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company. 

(d) In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock and holders of shares of
Parity Stock upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 8, no such distribution
shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Preferred Stock, equally and ratably, in proportion to the
full distributable amounts for which holders of all Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. 

9. Conversion. 

(a) Each Holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time, at its option, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Section 9, any or all of such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock at the Conversion Rate. Upon conversion of any share of Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder, in respect of each share of Preferred Stock being
converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11, on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant
Conversion Date. 
 (b) Before any Holder shall be entitled to convert a share of Preferred Stock as set forth above, such Holder shall:

 (i) in the case of a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Stock, comply with the procedures of the Depository in
effect at that time; and 
 (ii) in the case of Certificated Preferred Stock: 

  
 20 








 (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the office of
the conversion agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Conversion”) and state in writing therein the number of shares of Preferred Stock
to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered to be registered, 

(2) surrender such shares of Preferred Stock, at the office of the conversion agent; and 

(3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. The conversion agent shall notify the Company of any
conversion pursuant to this Section 9 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. 
 The date on which a Holder complies with the procedures in
this Section 9(b) is the “Conversion Date.” If more than one share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of
such shares of Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered. 

(c) Immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date with respect to a conversion, a converting Holder of Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Common
Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder. On the date of any conversion, all rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, excepting only the
rights of holders thereof to: 
 (i) receive certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such
shares of Preferred Stock have been converted (with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11); and 

(ii) exercise the rights to which they are thereafter entitled as holders of Common Stock. 

(d) The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events, except that the
Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Preferred Stock participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the
same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Preferred Stock, in any of the transactions described in this Section 9(d), without having to convert their Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder: 

(i) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all shares of its Common Stock,
or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: 

  
 21 









									
							         OS1        
		
			CR1=		CR0 x

			CR0     =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share
combination, as the case may be;
			
			CR1     =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination,
as the case may be;
			
			OS0     =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share
split or share combination, as the case may be; and
			
			OS1     =		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or such share split or share combination, as the case may be.

 Any adjustment made under this Section 9(d)(i) shall become effective immediately after
the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type
described in this Section 9(d)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion
Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
 (ii) If the Company distributes
to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 60 days immediately following the announcement date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares
of its Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of
such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
  

									
							
OS0 + X
		
			CR1=		CR0 x			
							OS0 + Y		

 where, 
  

					
			CR0     =		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

			CR1		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
				
			OS0		=		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
				
			X		=		the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
				
			Y		=		the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day
period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of such distribution.

 Any increase made under this Section 9(d)(ii) shall be made successively whenever any such
rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. 

To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of
delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such
distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not occurred. 

For purposes of this Section 9(d)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date
of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise
or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. 

(iii) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, securities or
property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding (a) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was
effected pursuant to Section 9(d)(i) or Section 9(d)(ii), (b) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions of Section 9(d)(iv) shall apply and (c) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set
forth below in this Section 9(d)(iii) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets, securities or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the
“Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
  

									
							         SP0        
		
			CR1 =		CR0 x			
							SP0 – FMV		


  
 23 








 where, 
  

							
			CR0		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
				
			CR1		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;
				
			SP0		=		the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and
				
			FMV		=		the fair market value as of the Record Date for such distribution (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock.

 Any increase made under the portion of this Section 9(d)(iii) above shall become effective
immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay the
distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Preferred Stock shall receive, for each share of Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of
the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for the distribution. If the
Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 9(d)(iii) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the
prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution.

 With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(d)(iii) where there has been a payment of a dividend or
other distribution on the Common Stock consisting solely of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company where such Capital Stock or similar equity
interest is, or will be when issued, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: 

  
 24 









									
							
FMV + MP0
		
			CR1=		CR0 x			
							MP0		

 where, 
  

							
			CR0		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off;
				
			CR1		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off;
				
			FMV		=		the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately
following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off; and
				
			MP0		=		the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off.

 The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall become effective at
the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days following, and
including, the Ex-Date of any Spin-Off, references within the portion of this Section 9(d)(iii) related to Spin-Offs to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have
elapsed between the Ex-Date of such Spin-Off and the relevant Conversion Date. 
 For purposes of this
Section 9(d)(iii) (and subject in all respect to Section 9(j)), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock,
including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): 

(i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock, 

(ii) are not exercisable and 

(iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, 

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 9(d)(iii) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this
Section 9(d)(iii) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion
Rate shall be made under this Section 9(d)(iii). 

  
 25 








 If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options
or warrants distributed prior to May [        ], 2015, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of
indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing
rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). 

In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or
other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 9(d)(iii) was
made: 
 (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without
exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase: 
 (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as
if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued; and 
 (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted
to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to
such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase; and 

(2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders
thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued. 
 For purposes
of Section 9(d)(i), Section 9(d)(ii) and this Section 9(d)(iii), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 9(d)(iii) is applicable also includes one or both of: 

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 9(d)(i) is applicable (the “Clause A
Distribution”); or 
 (B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 9(d)(ii)
is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”), then, in either case: 
 (1) such dividend or distribution,
other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 9(d)(iii) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment
required by this Section 9(d)(iii) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made; and 

  
 26 








 (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to
immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 9(d)(i) and Section 9(d)(ii) with respect thereto shall then be made; 

except that, if determined by the Company: 

(I) the “Record Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record
Date of the Clause C Distribution; and 
 (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or
Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split
or share combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 9(d)(i) or “outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 9(d)(ii).

 (iv) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion
Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: 
  

									
							 SP0
		
			CR1=		CR0 x			
							SP0 – C		

 where, 
  

							
			CR0		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
				
			CR1		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
				
			SP0		=		the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and
				
			C		=		the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock.

 Any increase pursuant to this Section 9(d)(iv) shall become effective immediately after
the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such
dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Preferred Stock shall receive, for each share of Preferred Stock, at the same time and upon the same


  
 27 








 
terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record
Date for such cash dividend or distribution. 
 (v) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a
tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock and the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive
Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following
formula: 
  

									
							
AC + (SP1 x OS1)
		
			CR1=		CR0 x			
							OS0 x SP1		

 where, 
  

							
			CR0		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or
exchange offer expires;
				
			CR1		=		the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange
offer expires;
				
			AC		=		the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
				
			OS0		=		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such
tender or exchange offer);
				
			OS1		=		the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender
or exchange offer); and
				
			SP1		=		the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

 The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 9(d)(v) shall occur at the close of
business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion
during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references within this 

  
 28 








 
Section 9(d)(v) to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange
offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date. 
 In the event that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to
purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. 

(vi) All calculations and other determinations under this Section 9(d) shall be made by the Company and shall be made to
the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. 
 (vii) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 9(d), and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The New York Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by
any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days or any longer period permitted or required by law if the increase is irrevocable during that period and the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best
interest. In addition, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares
(or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to any of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each share of Preferred Stock at its last address appearing on the
stock register of the Company a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect. 

(viii) For purposes of this Section 9(d), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include
shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates
issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. 
 (e) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or
distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in the Conversion Rate then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record. 

(f) Upon any increase in the Conversion Rate, the Company promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an authorized officer
of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased Conversion Rate then in effect following such adjustment. 

  
 29 








 (g) In the case of: 

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or
combination), 
 (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company, 

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s
Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or 
 (iv) any statutory share exchange, 

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including
cash or any combination thereof) (any such transaction or event, a “Reorganization Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the right to convert each share of Preferred Stock shall be changed into
a right to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate
immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event (such stock, securities or other property or assets, the “Reference Property”). 

If the Reorganization Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of
consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Preferred Stock will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration
received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The Company shall not become a party to any
Reorganization Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 9(g). 
 None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right
of a Holder of Preferred Stock to convert its Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 9(a) prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event. Notwithstanding Section 9(d), no adjustment to the Conversion
Rate shall be made for any Reorganization Event to the extent stock, securities or other property or assets become the Reference Property receivable upon conversion of Preferred Stock. 

The Company shall provide, by amendment hereto effective upon any such Reorganization Event, for anti-dilution and other adjustments that
shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 9. The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to successive Reorganization Events.

In this Certificate of Designations, if the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property as a result of any such Reorganization Event,
references to the Common Stock are intended to refer to such Reference Property. 
 (h) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock as herein provided, free


  
 30 








 
from any preemptive or other similar rights, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock.
For purposes of this Section 9(h), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares
were held by a single Holder. 
 (i) The issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of
Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the converting holder or recipient of shares of Preferred Stock for such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby,
and such certificates shall be issued or delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock converted; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of the relevant Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that
such tax has been paid. 
 (j) Notwithstanding Sections 9(d)(ii) and 9(d)(iii), if the Company has a rights plan (including the
distribution of rights pursuant thereto to all holders of the Common Stock) in effect while any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, Holders of Preferred Stock will receive, upon conversion of Preferred Stock, in addition to the Common
Stock to which he is entitled, a corresponding number of rights in accordance with the rights plan. If, prior to any conversion, such rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rights
plan, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed to all holders of its Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities, property, rights, options or warrants
as described in Section 9(d)(iii) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. 

10. Mandatory Conversion. 

(a) At any time on or after November [        ], 2019, the Company shall have the right, at its
option, to give notice of its election to cause all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into that number of whole shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the
Mandatory Conversion Date, with cash in lieu of any fractional share pursuant to Section 11. The Company may exercise its right to cause a mandatory conversion pursuant to this Section 10 only if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock
equals or exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, including the last Trading Day of such period, ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Business Day on which the Company issues a press release announcing the mandatory conversion as described in Section 10(b). 

(b) To exercise the mandatory conversion right described in Section 10(a), the Company must give notice of its intention to convert the
Preferred Stock to all Holders prior to the open of business on the first Trading Day following any date on which the condition 

  
 31 








 
described in Section 10(a) is met. In the case of Preferred Stock represented by Certificated Preferred Stock, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Preferred Stock
represented by Global Preferred Stock, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish such information on the Company’s website
or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. The conversion date will be a date selected by the Company (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) and will be no later than 10 calendar days after the date on which
the Company gives notice and publishes such information as described in this Section 10(b). 
 (c) In addition to any information
required by applicable law or regulation, the notice of a mandatory conversion and the information published by the Company on its website or through another public medium described in Section 10(b) shall state, as appropriate: 

(i) the Mandatory Conversion Date; 

(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock; and 

(iii) that dividends on the Preferred Stock to be converted will cease to accrue on the Mandatory Conversion Date. 

(d) On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion
pursuant to Section 10 and all rights of Holders of such Preferred Stock shall terminate except for the right to receive the whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of
Common Stock in accordance with Section 12. 
 The full amount of any dividend payment with respect to the Preferred Stock called for a
mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 10 on a date during the period beginning at the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and ending on the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall be payable on such
Dividend Payment Date to the record holder of such share at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date if such share has been converted after such Dividend Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence and in Section 11, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon conversion of Preferred Stock for Accumulated Dividends or dividends with respect to the Common Stock issued upon such conversion thereof. 

(e) The Company may not authorize, issue a press release or give notice of any mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 10 unless, prior
to giving the mandatory conversion notice, all Accumulated Dividends on the Preferred Stock (whether or not declared) for all Dividend Periods ended prior to the date of such mandatory conversion notice shall have been paid. 

11. Additional Conversion Amount. Upon the conversion, whether optional or mandatory, of any outstanding share of Preferred Stock and
notwithstanding anything herein, the Company shall pay in cash on the related settlement date to the Holder thereof all Accumulated Dividends thereon as of the related Conversion Date, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors (the
“Additional Conversion Amount”); provided that if upon the conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock the Company does not have sufficient funds legally available to pay in cash to the holder thereof all Accumulated
Dividends thereon as of the related Conversion Date: 

  
 32 








 (a) the Company shall pay the portion of the Additional Conversion Amount it is
so legally able to pay on the related settlement date and will pay such excess amount as soon as the Company has funds legally available therefor, and the amount of such unpaid dividends shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Dividend Rate
that would then be applicable in the absence of the conversion until paid; and 
 (b) the Company shall comply with the
Protective Payment Obligations (as adjusted as appropriate to refer to the payment of such excess amount rather than the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) until such excess amount is paid in full. 

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or securities representing fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be delivered upon conversion, whether optional or mandatory, of the Preferred Stock or in respect of payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price made in Common Stock. Instead, the Company will make a cash payment to each Holder that
would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date. 

13. Certificates. 

(a) Form and Dating. The Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in
the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Certificate of Designations. The Preferred Stock certificate may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law or stock exchange rules;
provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company. Each Preferred Stock certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.  

(i) Global Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock shall be issued initially in the form of one or more fully registered
global certificates with the global securities legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Global Preferred Stock”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers represented thereby with the Transfer Agent, as custodian for
DTC (or with such other custodian as DTC may direct), and registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of DTC, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Transfer Agent as hereinafter provided. The number of shares of
Preferred Stock represented by Global Preferred Stock may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Transfer Agent and DTC or its nominee as hereinafter provided. All shares of Common Stock issued in
respect of shares of Preferred Stock on any Conversion Date shall, subject to any restrictions on transfer set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, be freely transferable without restriction under the Securities Act (other than by the
Company’s Affiliates), and such shares shall be eligible for receipt in global form through the facilities of DTC. 

(ii) Book-Entry Provisions. In the event Global Preferred Stock is deposited with or on behalf of DTC, the Company shall
execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Preferred Stock certificates that: 

(1) shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC as depository for such Global Preferred Stock or
the nominee of DTC; and 

  
 33 








 (2) shall be delivered by the Transfer Agent to DTC or pursuant to DTC’s
instructions or held by the Transfer Agent as custodian for DTC. 
 Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”)
shall have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Global Preferred Stock held on their behalf by DTC or by the Transfer Agent as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Preferred Stock, and DTC may be treated by the
Company, the Transfer Agent and any agent of the Company or the Transfer Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Preferred Stock for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Transfer
Agent or any agent of the Company or the Transfer Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC
governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Preferred Stock. 
 (iii)
Certificated Preferred Stock. Except as provided in this Section 13(a) or in Section 13(c), owners of beneficial interests in Global Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Preferred Stock in fully
registered certificated form (“Certificated Preferred Stock”). 
 (b) Execution and Authentication. The Chief
Executive Officer or the President or a Vice President and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company shall sign the Preferred Stock certificate for the Company by manual or facsimile
signature. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer
Agent authenticates the Preferred Stock certificate, the Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless. 
 A Preferred Stock
certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Preferred Stock certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Stock certificate
has been authenticated under this Certificate of Designations. 
 The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for up to
[            ] shares of Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company. Such order shall specify the number of shares of
Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Preferred Stock is to be authenticated. 
 The Transfer
Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the certificates for the Preferred Stock. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for the
Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so. Each reference in this Certificate of Designations to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer
Agent or agent for service of notices and demands. 
 (c) Transfer and Exchange.  

  
 34 








 (i) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Preferred Stock. When
Certificated Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Certificated Preferred
Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided that the Certificated Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be
duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(ii) Restrictions on Transfer of Certificated Preferred Stock for a Beneficial Interest in Global Preferred Stock.
Certificated Preferred Stock may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in Global Preferred Stock except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. 

Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of Certificated Preferred Stock, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of
transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, together with written instructions directing the Transfer Agent to make, or to direct DTC to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global
Preferred Stock to reflect an increase in the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Global Preferred Stock, then the Transfer Agent shall cancel such Certificated Preferred Stock and cause, or direct DTC to cause, in accordance with
the standing instructions and procedures existing between DTC and the Transfer Agent, the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Global Preferred Stock to be increased accordingly. If no Global Preferred Stock is then outstanding,
the Company shall issue and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Preferred Stock representing the appropriate number of shares. 

(iii) Transfer and Exchange of Global Preferred Stock. The transfer and exchange of Global Preferred Stock or beneficial
interests therein shall be effected through DTC, in accordance with this Certificate of Designations (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of DTC therefor. 

(iv) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in Global Preferred Stock for Certificated Preferred Stock. 

(A) If at any time: 

(1) DTC notifies the Company that DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Preferred Stock and a
successor depository for the Global Preferred Stock is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or 

(2) DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository for the Global Preferred
Stock is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, 
 then the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent, upon receipt of a written
order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company 

  
 35 








 
requesting the authentication and delivery of Certificated Preferred Stock to the Persons designated by the Company, shall authenticate and deliver Certificated Preferred Stock equal to the
number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the Global Preferred Stock, in exchange for such Global Preferred Stock. Subject to the foregoing, the beneficial interests in a Global Preferred Stock shall not be exchangeable for Certificated
Preferred Stock. 
 (B) Certificated Preferred Stock issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 13(c)(iv) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as DTC, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Transfer Agent. The Transfer
Agent shall deliver such Certificated Preferred Stock to the Persons in whose names such Preferred Stock are so registered in accordance with the instructions of DTC. 

(v) Restrictions on Transfer of Global Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of
Designations (other than the provisions set forth in Section 13(c)(iv)), Global Preferred Stock may not be transferred as a whole except by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such
nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor depository. 
 (vi) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global
Preferred Stock. At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Preferred Stock have either been exchanged for Certificated Preferred Stock, converted or canceled, such Global Preferred Stock shall be returned to DTC for cancellation or
retained and canceled by the Transfer Agent. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in Global Preferred Stock is exchanged for Certificated Preferred Stock, converted or canceled, the number of shares of Preferred Stock
represented by such Global Preferred Stock shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Transfer Agent with respect to such Global Preferred Stock, by the Transfer Agent or DTC, to reflect such reduction. 

(vii) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Preferred Stock. 

(A) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate
Certificated Preferred Stock and Global Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13(c). 

(B) All Certificated Preferred Stock and Global Preferred Stock issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Certificated Preferred Stock or Global Preferred Stock shall be the valid Capital Stock of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Certificate of Designations as the Certificated Preferred Stock or Global Preferred Stock surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (C) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of
Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Company may deem and treat the 

  
 36 








 
Person in whose name such shares of Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 (D) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange upon surrender of
any Preferred Stock certificate or Common Stock certificate at the office of the Transfer Agent maintained for that purpose. However, the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Stock certificates or Common Stock certificates. 

(viii) No Obligation of the Transfer Agent. 

(A) The Transfer Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of Global Preferred Stock, a member
of or a participant in, DTC or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Preferred Stock or with respect to the delivery
to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Global Preferred Stock. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all
payments to be made to Holders under the Preferred Stock shall be given or made only to the Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of the Global Preferred Stock). 

The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Preferred Stock shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable
rules and procedures of DTC. The Transfer Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. 

(B) The Transfer Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions
on transfer imposed under this Certificate of Designations or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Preferred Stock (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any
Global Preferred Stock) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 (ix) Transfer
Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the shares of Preferred Stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement. 

(d) Replacement Certificates. If any of the Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for  

  
 37 








 
and upon cancellation of the mutilated Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Preferred Stock certificate
of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of shares of Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company and
the Transfer Agent. 
 (e) Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Preferred Stock certificates are ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate temporary Preferred Stock certificates. Any temporary Preferred Stock certificates shall be substantially in the form of definitive Preferred Stock certificates but may have variations
that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Preferred Stock certificates. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate definitive Preferred Stock certificates and deliver them in exchange
for temporary Preferred Stock certificates. 
 (f) Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire
Certificated Preferred Stock, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. 
 (i) At such
time as all beneficial interests in Global Preferred Stock have either been exchanged for Certificated Preferred Stock, converted, repurchased or canceled, such Global Preferred Stock shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for
cancellation. 
 (ii) The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Preferred Stock certificates
surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Preferred Stock certificates to the Company. The Company
may not issue new Preferred Stock certificates to replace Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Preferred Stock which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired. 

14. Legends. All certificates or other instruments representing Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof
will bear a legend in substantially the following form (excluding the first sentence thereof in the case of any such Common Stock: 

(a) for which a registration statement covering such Common Stock has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and that has been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement; or 
 (b) sold under
circumstances in which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act are met): 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY NON-U.S. OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT
BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. THIS SECURITY IS ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF

OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. 

  
 38 








 15. Other Provisions. 

(a) With respect to any notice to a Holder of shares of Preferred Stock required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or
validity of any distribution, rights, warrant, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any such action. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives the notice. 
 (b) Shares of Preferred Stock that
have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares of Preferred Stock that are purchased or exchanged or converted, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Delaware) have the status of authorized but
unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company undesignated as to series and may be designated or redesignated and issued or reissued, as the case may be, as part of any series of preferred stock of the Company; provided that any issuance
of such shares as Preferred Stock must be in compliance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) The shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable
only in whole shares. 
 (d) All notice periods referred to herein shall commence on the date of the mailing of the applicable notice.
Notice to any Holder shall be given to the registered address set forth in the Company’s records for such Holder, or for Global Preferred Stock, to the Depository in accordance with its procedures. 

(e) Any payment required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no
interest or dividends on such payment will accrue or accumulate, as the case may be, in respect of such delay. 
 (f) On and after the Issue
Date, the Company shall not enter into any new, or amend or modify any existing, contract, agreement, arrangement or other understanding, oral or written, express or implied, that, in each case, by its terms restricts, limits, prohibits or prevents
the Company from paying dividends in full in cash, redeeming the Preferred Stock in full for cash, repurchasing the Preferred Stock in full for cash, or effecting conversions of the Preferred Stock, in each case, in the amounts contemplated by the
terms hereof.

 SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT 

SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of
[                 ], 2015 by and between MRC Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Mario Investments LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“Investor”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H : 

WHEREAS, Investor and the Company have entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2015 (the
“Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, the Company is selling, and Investor is purchasing, on the date hereof [            ]
shares of Preferred Stock (as defined below); and 
 WHEREAS, Investor and the Company desire to enter into this Agreement in order
to set forth their respective rights and responsibilities, and to establish various arrangements and restrictions with respect to Investor’s ownership of the Preferred Stock, the governance of the Company and other related matters. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE 1 

DEFINITIONS 

Section 1.01. Definitions. (a) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: 

“Adverse Disclosure” means public disclosure of material non-public information that, in the Board’s good faith
judgment, after consultation with independent outside counsel to the Company, (i) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company to make such Registration Statement not materially misleading;
(ii) would not be required to be made at or prior to the time of filing of such Registration Statement but for the filing of such Registration Statement; and (iii) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not disclosing
publicly. 
 “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with such Person; provided that (i) no securityholder of the Company shall be deemed an Affiliate of any other securityholder solely by reason of any investment in the Company,
(ii) no portfolio company in which Investor or any of its Affiliates have an investment shall be deemed an Affiliate of Investor or any of its Affiliates and

ARTICLE 2 
 BOARD
REPRESENTATION 
 Section 2.01. Appointment and Nomination Rights. (a) Without limiting the rights of the
Investor Parties set forth in Section 2.02, following the third anniversary of the Closing and for so long as the Investment Percentage is at least 33%, (i) for so long as shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Investor Parties shall
be entitled to appoint a director to serve on the Board pursuant to the Certificate of Designations or (ii) if no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Investor Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate for
nomination one nominee to serve as a director on the Board, subject in each case to such Person’s satisfaction of all applicable requirements regarding 

  
 9 








 
service as a director of the Company under applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rules regarding service as a director and such other criteria and qualifications for service as a
director applicable to all directors of the Company and in effect on the date hereof (such Person, the “Investor Designee”). Immediately prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the Company shall increase the size of the Board
by one director and fill such newly-created directorship with the Investor Designee in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Thereafter, in the event that the Investor Designee is nominated pursuant to clause
(ii) above, the Company shall (x) include the Investor Designee in its slate of nominees for election to the Board at each annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected and at which the seat
held by the Investor Designee is subject to election and (y) recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the Investor Designee. The Company shall take all reasonably necessary actions to ensure that, at all
times when an Investor Designee is eligible to be appointed or nominated, there are sufficient vacancies on the Board to permit such designation. The Investor Parties and the Company shall discuss in good faith appropriate committee representation
for the Investor Designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the threshold set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(a) is no longer satisfied, the rights of the Investor Parties under this Section 2.01(a) shall terminate and
the Investor Designee shall promptly resign. 
 (b) If any Investor Designee ceases to serve on the Board for any reason during his
or her term, subject to the continuing threshold set forth in the first sentence of Section 2.01(a), the vacancy created thereby shall be filled, and the Company shall cause the Board to fill such vacancy, with a new Investor Designee eligible to
serve on the Board in accordance with Section 2.01(a). 
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor Designee shall be entitled
(i) to the same retainer, equity compensation and other fees or compensation, including travel and expense reimbursement, paid to the non-executive directors of the Company for his or her service as a director, including any service on any
committee of the Board and (ii) to the same indemnification rights as other non-executive directors of the Company, and the Company shall maintain in full force and effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in reasonable
amounts from established and reputable insurers to the same extent it now indemnifies and provides insurance for the non-executive directors on the Board. In all directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, the Investor Designee shall be
covered as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Investor Designee with rights and benefits under such insurance policies no less favorable than those provided to the other non-executive directors of the Company. 

(d) The Investor Designee shall be bound by the same confidentiality restrictions as the other non-executive directors of the Company, but,


  
 10 








 
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such confidentiality restrictions, the Investor Designee shall be entitled to provide to the Investor Parties any and all information received by
such Investor Designee in its capacity as a director subject to compliance by the Investor Parties with Section 5.05; provided, however, that, except with the prior written consent of the Company, the Investor Designee shall not
disclose to any Investor Party any advice provided to the Company by in-house or outside legal counsel that is protected by the attorney-client privilege.

the Investor Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to appoint one representative (such Person, the “Board Observer”) to be present (whether in person or by telephone) at all meetings of the Board and
each committee thereof.  
 (b) Once appointed, the Company shall send such Board Observer all of the notices, information and other
materials (including meeting notices and agendas) that are distributed to the members of the Board and the committees thereof, all at the same time and in the same manner as such notices, agenda, information and other materials are provided to the
members of the Board or such committee, as applicable. The Company shall provide the Board Observer with the same travel and expense reimbursement with respect to such Board Observer’s attendance at Board and committee meetings as is provided
to the directors. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.02, the Investor Parties agree that the Board
Observer may be excluded from such portions of any Board or committee meeting and that such information and other materials referred to in Section 2.02(b) may be withheld from the Board Observer, in each case, as and solely to the extent the Board
reasonably determines, based on the advice of counsel, (i) is necessary to avoid any conflict of interest with respect to any potential transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and Investor, the Board Observer or any of their
respective Affiliates, on the other hand, if and to the extent that such conflict would have disqualified the Board Observer from attending such meeting or receiving such materials had the Board Observer been a director of the Company at the
relevant time or (ii) is necessary to avoid the waiver of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the matters to be discussed or the matters included in the information to be distributed; provided that, before the Company may
exclude the Board Observer from any portion of any Board or committee meeting or withhold from the Board Observer any Board or committee materials pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, the Company shall notify the Investor Parties
of its determination to do so, and consult with the Investor Parties to minimize or eliminate the need for such exclusion or withholding. 

  
 11 








 (d) The Board Observer shall be entitled to provide to the Investor Parties any and all
information received by such Board Observer pursuant to this Section 2.02; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Board Observer shall be deemed a Representative of the Investor Parties under Section 5.05.

forth in the Preemptive Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such New Issue Securities within such 90-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Issue Securities without first offering such New Issue Securities to
Investor in the manner provided in this Section 3.02. The purchase of New Issue Securities by the Investor Parties pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the New Issue Securities set forth
in the Preemptive Notice, but in no event prior to 15 Business Days after the submission of the Preemptive Notice to each Investor Party. 

  
 14 








 (c) The preemptive rights contained in this Section 3.02 shall not apply to (i) the
issuance of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of Company Securities outstanding as of the date hereof or issued after the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.02; (ii) the issuance of Company
Securities in connection with any bona fide acquisition of another Person (whether by merger, acquisition of the capital stock of such Person, acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person, or other reorganization), to
the sellers in such transaction as consideration for such acquisition; or (iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or options and the Common Stock issued pursuant to such options after the date hereof to employees, officers or directors of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board. 

ARTICLE 4 

REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

Section 4.01. Demand Registration. (a) If the Company shall receive a request (a “Registration
Request”) from an Investor Party (the “Requesting Investor”) that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of such Investor Party’s Registrable Securities, and specifying the
intended method of disposition thereof, then the Company shall promptly give notice of such Registration Request to each other Investor Party, and thereafter the Company shall use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the
registration under the Securities Act of (each such registration shall be referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”): (i) all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Investor has requested registration under this
Section 4.01 and (ii) all other Registrable Securities that Investor Parties have requested the Company to register by request received by the Company within 10 Business Days after such holder receives the Company’s notice of the Demand
Registration (all such Investor Parties together with the Requesting Investor, and any Investor Parties participating in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 4.03, the “Registering Investors”), all to the extent necessary to
permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that, (i) subject to Section 4.01(d), the Company shall not be obligated to
effect more than (i) two Demand Registrations in any calendar year, other than Demand Registrations to be effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor thereto), for which an unlimited number of Demand
Registrations shall be permitted and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration unless the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
Demand Registration equals or exceeds $30,000,000.  

  
 15 








 (b) Promptly after the expiration of the 15 Business Day period referred to in Section
4.01(a)(ii), the Company shall notify all Registering Investors of the identities of the other Registering Investors and the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration. At any time prior to the
effective date of the Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration, the Requesting Investor may revoke its Registration Request, without liability to any of the other Registering Investors, by providing a notice to the Company revoking
such Registration Request. A request, so revoked, shall be considered to be a Demand Registration unless (i) such revocation arose out of the fault of the Company (in which case the Company shall be obligated to pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with such revoked request), or (ii) the Requesting Investor reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses of such revoked request. 

(c) The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration, regardless of whether such
Registration is effected, except as set forth in Section 4.02(b)(ii). 
 (d) A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred:

 (i) unless the Registration Statement relating thereto (A) has become effective under the Securities Act and
(B) has remained effective for a period of at least 180 days (or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have actually been sold thereunder); provided that such Registration Statement shall
not be considered a Demand Registration if, after such Registration Statement becomes effective, (1) such Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of any Governmental Authority and
(2) less than 75% of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have been sold thereunder; 

(ii) if the Maximum Offering Size is reduced in accordance with Section 4.01(e) such that less than 75% of the Registrable
Securities sought to be included in such registration are included; or 
 (iii) as permitted pursuant to Section 4.01(b) or
4.01(f). 
 (e) If a Demand Registration involves a Public Offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the
Registering Investors that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities that the Company proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the
largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), the Company shall include in such registration, in the
priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 

  
 16 








 (i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the
Registering Investors (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Registering Investors on the basis of their Relative Investor Ownership); 

(ii) second, any securities proposed to be registered by the Company; and 

(iii) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any other Persons, with such priorities among them as
the Company shall determine. 
 (f) Upon notice to each Registering Investor (the “Delay Notice”), the Company may
postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this Section 4.01 on two occasions during any period of twelve consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 60 days (which period may not be extended or renewed and
provided that such periods in the aggregate shall not exceed 90 days in any period of twelve consecutive months), if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration would require the
Company to make an Adverse Disclosure (a “Demand Suspension”). No Registration Statement filed and subsequently withdrawn pursuant to this Section 4.01(f) shall count as a Demand Registration. The Registering Investors agree to
suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the Delay Notice. The Company shall immediately notify the Registering Investors upon the
termination of any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to each Registering Investor such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or
supplemented as such Registering Investor may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Registration Statement relating to the Demand Registration, if required by the registration form used by the
Company for the Demand Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act. 

Section 4.02. Shelf Registration. (a) Within 90 days of the Closing, the Company shall file with the SEC
a registration statement on Form S-3 (which shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) if the Company is then a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act))
(a “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Investor Parties from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution 


  
 17 








 
elected by the Investor Parties and set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement, and, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than 120 days following the Closing (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). 

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the
Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the Investor Parties until the date as of which there are no Registrable Securities (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain a well-known seasoned issuer (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the Shelf Period. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering
the Registrable Securities at the time the Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold. If the Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at
least three (3) years, at the end of the third year the Company shall refile a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities. If, at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its status as a well-known seasoned
issuer, the Company determines that it is not a well-known seasoned issuer, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such
Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period. 
 (c) If the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement at
any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving at least ten days’ prior written notice of such action to each Investor Party, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf
Suspension”); provided that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (i) more than one time during any twelve-month period or (ii) for a period exceeding 60 days on any one occasion.
In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Investor Parties agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above.
The Company shall immediately notify each Investor Party upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to each Investor Party such
numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as such Investor Party may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form
used by the Company for the Shelf Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act. 

  
 18 








 (d) If an Investor Party so elects, an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement shall be in the form of an underwritten offering, and the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose. The provisions of Section 4.01(e) shall apply to any underwritten offering pursuant
to this Section 4.02(d). 
 Section 4.03. Piggyback Registration. (a) If the Company proposes to register any
Company Securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-8, S-4 or any successor forms, relating to shares of Common Stock or any other class of Company Securities issuable upon exercise of employee stock options or in
connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall each such time give notice
at least 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement relating to such registration to each Investor Party (or within two Business Days in the case of an “overnight” offering or “bought
deal”), which notice shall set forth such Investor Party’s rights under this Section 4.03 and shall offer such Investor Party the opportunity to include in such Registration Statement the number of Registrable Securities of the same class
or series as those proposed to be registered as such Investor Party may request (a “Piggyback Registration”), subject to the provisions of Section 4.03(b). Upon the request of any such Investor Party made within 10
Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Investor Party) (or within two Business Days in the case of an “overnight”
offering or “bought deal”), the Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by all such Investor Parties, to the extent requisite to permit
the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (i) if such registration involves a Public Offering, all such Registering Investors must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as
provided in Section 4.05(f) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, and (ii) if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any Company Securities pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) and prior to the effective
date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company shall give notice to all such Registering Investors and, thereupon, shall be
relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 4.03 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration to the extent
required by Section 4.01. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Piggyback Registration. 
 (b) If a
Piggyback Registration involves a Public Offering (other than any Demand Registration, in which case the provisions with respect to priority of 

  
 19 








 
inclusion in such offering set forth in Section 4.01(e) shall apply) and the managing underwriter advises the Company that, in its view, the number of shares of Common Stock or other Company
Securities that the Company and the Registering Investors intend to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company shall include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: 

(i) first, so much of the Company Securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Company as would not cause the
offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size; 
 (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration by any Registering Investor (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Registering Investors on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities so
requested to be included in such registration by each such Registering Investor); and 
 (iii) third, any securities proposed
to be registered for the account of any other Persons with such priorities among them as the Company shall determine. 

Section 4.04. Lock-Up Agreements. If any registration of Registrable Securities shall be effected in connection with a
Public Offering, neither the Company nor any Investor Party shall effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, of any Company Securities (except as part of such Public Offering) during the 90-day period beginning
14 days prior to the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, unless the Company and the lead managing underwriter shall mutually agree to a shorter period. 

Section 4.05. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations under Sections 4.01,
4.02 and 4.03, subject to the provisions of such Sections, the Company shall effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable, and, in
connection therewith: 
 (a) The Company shall as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on
any form for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method of
distribution thereof, and cause such filed Registration Statement to become and remain effective for a period of not less than 180 days. 

  
 20 








 (b) Prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, the Company shall, if requested, furnish to each Registering Investor and each underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, and
thereafter the Company shall furnish to such Registering Investor and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus and any summary Prospectus) and any other Prospectus filed under Rule 424 or Rule 430A under the Securities Act and
such other documents as such Registering Investor or such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Registering Investor. The Company shall give the Registering Investor on
whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be registered, the underwriter in a Public Offering and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto. Each Registering Investor shall have the right to request that the Company modify any information contained in such Registration Statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to such Registering Investor,
and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not have any obligation to modify any information if the Company reasonably expects that so doing would cause
the Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. 

(c) After the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
Prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Registering Investors thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus and (iii) promptly notify
each Registering Investor of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC or any state securities commission and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered. 

(d) The Company shall (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other
securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Registering Investor reasonably (in light of such Registering Investor’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable
Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary 

  
 21 








 
by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Registering Investor to consummate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Registering Investor; provided that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section 4.05(d), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction. 

(e) The Company shall immediately notify each Registering Investor with respect to Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
promptly prepare and make available to each Registering Investor and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment. 
 (f) (i)
the Requesting Investor shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Public Offering resulting from the exercise by such Requesting Investor of a Demand Registration, (ii) the
Registering Investors, acting jointly, shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to select an underwriter or underwriters in connection with any Public Offering pursuant to Section 4.02(d) and (iii) the Company shall select an underwriter
or underwriters in connection with any other Public Offering; provided, however, that such underwriter or underwriters shall be nationally recognized investment banking firms reasonably acceptable to the Company. In connection with any Public
Offering, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all other actions as are required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in any
such Public Offering, including the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the NASD. 

(g) The Company shall make available for inspection by any Registering Investor and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
to a Registration Statement being filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.05 and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any such Registering Investor or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors
and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such Registration Statement. 

  
 22 








 (h) In connection with any Public Offering of Registrable Securities, the Company shall enter
into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in such offering) in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, (i) to the extent possible make such representations and warranties to the underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, with respect to such underwritten offering, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made
by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) provide indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 4.06, (iii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company
(which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters and their counsel) addressed to each underwriter of Registrable Securities and each Registering Investor, covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions requested in similar underwritten offerings, (iv) obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant
of any Subsidiary of the Company, or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each underwriter of Registrable Securities
and each Registering Investor, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with similar underwritten offerings, and (v) deliver such documents and
certificates as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in similar underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company made pursuant to clause
(i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement; 
 (i) The Company shall
otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement or such other document covering a period of at least 12 months, beginning
within three months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder. 

(j) The Company may require each Registering Investor promptly to furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the
distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. 

  
 23 








 (k) Each Registering Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4.05(e), such Registering Investor shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
Registering Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4.05(e), and, if so directed by the Company, such Registering Investor shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than any
permanent file copies then in such Registering Investor’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give such notice, the Company shall extend the
period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section 4.05(a)) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of notice pursuant to Section
4.05(e) to the date when the Company shall make available to each such Registering Investor a Prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of Section 4.05(e). 

(l) The Company shall list all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on
which any of the Registrable Securities are then listed or traded. 
 (m) The Company shall have senior management of the Company, as
requested by the Requesting Investor, Registering Investors or the underwriters in the offering, (i) prepare and make presentations at “road shows” and before analysts and rating agencies, as the case may be, and participate in other
customary marketing and selling activities (including one on one meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities) and undertaking such marketing and selling efforts as would be customary if the Company were engaged in a primary
registered offering of its capital stock, (ii) take other actions to obtain ratings for any Registrable Securities and (iii) otherwise facilitate, and cooperate in, as requested by the underwriters, the Requesting Investor or Registering
Investors, the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable Securities. 
 Section 4.06. Indemnification by the Company.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Registering Investor, its officers, directors, employees, partners and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Registering Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
(“Damages”) caused by or relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in 

  
 24 








 
any Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any
preliminary Prospectus, or caused by or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Damages are caused
by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by such Registering Investor or on such Registering Investor’s behalf expressly for use therein.
The Company also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Registering Investors provided in this Section 4.06. 

Section 4.07. Indemnification by Registering Investors. Each Registering Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Registering Investor, but only with respect to information furnished in writing by such Registering Investor or on such Registering Investor’s behalf expressly for use in any Registration Statement
or Prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary Prospectus. Each Registering Investor also agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless underwriters of the
Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act on substantially the same basis as that of
the indemnification of the Company provided in this Section 4.07. As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance with Article 4, the Company may require that it shall have received an undertaking
reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities. No Registering Investor shall be liable under this Section 4.07 for any
Damages in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Registering Investor in the sale of Registrable Securities to which such Damages relate. 

Section 4.08. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding (including any investigation by any Governmental
Authority) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.06 or 4.07, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may
be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, 

  
 25 








 
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses; provided that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed
to the retention of such counsel or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood that, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by the
Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party
shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying
Party shall effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding. 
 Section 4.09.
Contribution. (a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.06 or 4.07 is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any Damages (other than as a result of exceptions contained in Section 4.06 or 4.07), then each such
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages, 

(i) as between the Company and the Registering Investors, on the one hand, and the underwriters, on the other hand, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Registering Investors, on the one hand, and the underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or if such allocation is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Registering Investors, on the one hand, and


  
 26 








 
of such underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; and 

(ii) as between the Company, on the one hand, and each such Registering Investor, on the other hand, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each such Registering Investor in connection with such statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and
such Registering Investors, on the one hand, and such underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses)
received by the Company and such Registering Investors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the
Company and such Registering Investors, on the one hand, and of such underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and such Registering Investors or by such underwriters. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of each such Registering Investor, on the other
hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (b) The
Company and the Registering Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.09 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or
by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.09(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Damages referred to in Section 4.09(a) shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
4.09, no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any Damages that such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no Registering 

  
 27 








 
Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such Registering Investor were offered to the public
(less underwriters’ discounts and commissions) exceeds the amount of any Damages that such Registering Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

Section 4.10. Participation in Public Offering. No Investor Party may participate in any Public Offering hereunder unless
such Investor Party (a) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration rights. 

Section 4.11. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Company and each Registering Investor with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or Governmental Authority other than the Securities Act.

 Section 4.12. Cooperation by the Company. If any Investor Party shall Transfer any Registrable Securities pursuant
to Rule 144, the Company shall cooperate, to the extent commercially reasonable, with such Investor Party and shall provide to such Investor Party such information as such Investor Party shall reasonably request. 

Section 4.13. Liquidated Damages. (a) If a Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 4.02(a) is not effective before
the Effectiveness Deadline, then each Investor Party shall be entitled to a payment (with respect to each Registrable Security held by such Investor Party), as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier
per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for the first 60-day period immediately following the Effectiveness Deadline, with such payment amount increasing by an additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall
accrue daily, for each subsequent 60-day period, up to a maximum of 0.75% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period (the “Liquidated Damages”), until such time as such Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or
is declared effective or the Registrable Securities, as applicable, covered by such Shelf Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities. 

  
 28 








 (b) If (i) the Investor Parties shall be prohibited from selling their Registrable
Securities under a Registration Statement as a result of a Shelf Suspension pursuant to Section 4.02(c) of this Agreement in excess of the periods permitted therein or (ii) a Registration Statement is filed and effective but, during the Shelf
Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within 30 days by a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus or a report filed with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or l5(d) of the Exchange Act (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Delay Event”), then, until the Shelf Suspension is lifted or such amendment, supplement or report is filed and
effective, but not including any day on which a Shelf Suspension is lifted, if applicable, then each Investor Party shall be entitled to a payment (with respect to each Registrable Security held by such Investor Party), as liquidated damages and not
as a penalty, of 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for the first 60-day period immediately following the date on which the Delay Event occurred, with such payment amount increasing by an
additional 0.25% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period, that shall accrue daily, for each subsequent 60-day period, up to a maximum of 0.75% of the Liquidated Damages Multiplier per 30-day period (the “Delay Liquidated
Damages”), until such time as the Delay Event is cured. For purposes of this Section 4.13(b), a Delay Event shall be deemed cured on the date that the Investor Parties receive notice that the Shelf Suspension has been lifted or that a
post-effective amendment is effective and delivered to each Investor Party. 
 (c) The Liquidated Damages and Delay Liquidated
Damages shall be paid to each Investor Party in cash within 10 Business Days of the end of each such 60-day period, as applicable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall constitute the Investor Parties’ exclusive remedy for such
events. Any Liquidated Damages and Delay Liquidated Damages due under this Section 4.13 shall be paid to each Investor Party in immediately available funds. 

Section 4.14. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company agrees that it shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company (a) that would allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or
prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that their inclusion would not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Investor Parties included therein or (b) on terms otherwise more
favorable than this Agreement. The Company also represents and warrants to Investor that it has not previously entered into any agreement with respect to any of its securities granting any registration rights to any Person.

Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the parties hereto with

or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force

termination of this Agreement) and this Article 6. 
 Section 6.12. Independent Nature of Obligations. Except with
respect to the Investor Parties amongst themselves (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include Investor’s obligations to cause the Cornell Parties to comply with the Cornell Parties’ obligations pursuant to Section 5.01), the

any way for the performance or nonperformance of the obligations of any other Party under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Parties as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations.
