 AMENDED AND RESTATED 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 6th day of February, 2012 (“Agreement”), by and between Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the “Company”), and Brian G. Macnamara (“Indemnitee”). 
 WHEREAS, at the request of the
Company, Indemnitee currently serves as an officer of the Company and may, therefore, be subjected to claims, suits or proceedings arising as a result of his service; and 
 WHEREAS, as an inducement to Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as an officer, the Company has agreed to indemnify and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
such claims, suits or proceedings, to the maximum extent permitted by law, including pursuant to an existing Indemnification Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2008, by and between the Company and the Indemnitee (the “Prior
Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement and set forth
their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 Section 1.
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement: 
 (a) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the
Company occurring after the Effective Date of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if
after the Effective Date (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the Company’s securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the
members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or
other reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less
than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 1, individuals who at the beginning of such period
constituted the Board of Directors (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors. 

  
 2 

 (b) “Corporate Status” means the status of a person as a present or former
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. As a clarification and without limiting the circumstances in which Indemnitee may be serving at the request
of the Company, service by Indemnitee shall be deemed to be at the request of the Company if Indemnitee serves or served as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (i) of which a majority of the voting power or equity interest is owned directly or indirectly by the Company or (ii) the management of
which is controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. 
 (c) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the
Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification and/or advance of Expenses is sought by Indemnitee. 
 (d) “Effective Date” means the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. 
 (e) “Expenses” means any and all reasonable and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses,
duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, ERISA
excise taxes and penalties and any other disbursements or expenses incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in or otherwise participating in a Proceeding.
Expenses shall also include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding including, without limitation, the premium, security for and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond or other appeal bond or
its equivalent. 
 (f) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in
matters of corporation law and neither is, nor in the past three years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under
this Agreement or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to or participant or witness in the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or
Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. 

  
 3 

 (g) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil (including intentional or
unintentional tort claims), criminal, administrative or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, except one pending or completed on or before the Effective Date, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by
the Company and Indemnitee or if it would have been covered by the Prior Agreement. 
 Section 2. Services by
Indemnitee. Indemnitee serves as an officer of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. This Agreement shall not be deemed
an employment contract between the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee. 
 Section 3. General. The Company
shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) otherwise to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect on the Effective Date and as amended from time to time; provided, however,
that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the Effective Date. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 3 shall include, without
limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”). 

Section 4. Standard for Indemnification. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened
to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in
connection with any such Proceeding unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 Section 5. Certain Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than
Section 6), Indemnitee shall not be entitled to: 
 (a) indemnification hereunder if the Proceeding was one by or in the
right of the Company and Indemnitee is adjudged to be liable to the Company; 
 (b) indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee is
adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or 

(c) indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by Indemnitee, unless: (i) the Proceeding was
brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 12 of this Agreement, or (ii) the Company’s charter or Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders

  
 4 

 
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide
otherwise. 
 Section 6. Court-Ordered Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a
court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances: 
 (a) if such court determines Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to
recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or 
 (b) if it determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of an
improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company or in which
liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described in Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL shall be limited to Expenses. 
 Section 7. Indemnification for Expenses of an Indemnitee Who is Wholly or Partially Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision,
to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of his Corporate Status, made a party to (or otherwise becomes a participant in) any Proceeding and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be
indemnified for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or
more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with
each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 7 and, without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without
prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. 
 Section 8. Advance of
Expenses for Indemnitee. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate
entitlement to indemnification hereunder, advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advance
or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written
affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf of
Indemnitee, in 

  
 5 

 
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof, to reimburse the portion of
any Expenses advanced to Indemnitee relating to claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be established that the standard of conduct has not been met by Indemnitee and which have not been successfully resolved as
described in Section 7 of this Agreement. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The
undertaking required by this Section 8 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any
requirement to post security therefor. 
 Section 9. Indemnification and Advance of Expenses as a Witness or Other
Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or may be, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding, whether
instituted by the Company or any other party, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be advanced all reasonable Expenses and indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection therewith within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting any such advance or indemnification from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such
statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. 
 Section 10. Procedure for
Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. 
 (a) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall
submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification. Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. The officer of the Company receiving any such request from Indemnitee shall,
promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. 
 (b) Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) above, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall
promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, which Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred,
(A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of
one or more Disinterested Directors, (B) if Independent Counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL and approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the 

  
 6 

 
Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it
is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is
reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if retained pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 10(b). Any Expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify and
hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom. 
 (c) The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one
is appointed. 
 Section 11. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. 

(a) In making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such
determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden
of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption. 
 (b)
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a
presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification. 
 (c) The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any other right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

Section 12. Remedies of Indemnitee. 
 (a) If (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not
timely made pursuant to Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request
for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 7 or 9 of this Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant

  
 7 

 
to any other section of this Agreement or the charter or Bylaws of the Company is not made within ten days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court located in the State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advance of Expenses.
Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence a
proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause
shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Maryland law (without regard to its conflicts of laws rules) shall apply to any such
arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration. 
 (b)
In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the Company shall have the
burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall not be required to
reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or
lapsed). The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not
valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (c) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in
connection with the request for indemnification. 
 (d) In the event that Indemnitee is successful in seeking, pursuant to this
Section 12, a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified
by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not
all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated. 

  
 8 

 (e) Interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the maximum
rate allowed to be charged for judgments under the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland for amounts which the Company pays or is obligated to pay for the period (i) commencing with either the tenth day after
the date on which the Company was requested to advance Expenses in accordance with Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement or the 60th day after the date on which the Company was requested to make the determination of entitlement to indemnification
under Section 10(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) ending on the date such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company. 
 Section 13. Defense of the Underlying Proceeding. 
 (a) Indemnitee
shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of
Expenses hereunder and shall include with such notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or
otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially
and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced. 
 (b) Subject to
the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 13(b) and of Section 13(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the
Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 13(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an
unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee or (iii) would impose any Expense, judgment, fine,
penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. This Section 13(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 12 of this Agreement. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes,
based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that Indemnitee may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other
defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential
conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of
Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be 

  
 9 

 
unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other
person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain
counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 12(d) of this Agreement), to represent Indemnitee in
connection with any such matter. 
 Section 14. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Subrogation. 

(a) The rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the charter or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or
otherwise. Unless consented to in writing by Indemnitee, no amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted
by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, regardless of whether a claim with respect to such action or inaction is raised prior or subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No right or remedy
herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prohibit the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. 
 (b) In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required
and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. 
 Section 15. Insurance. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire directors and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors, with the advice of counsel, covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee by reason of his Corporate Status and covering the Company for any indemnification or advance of Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any
claims made against Indemnitee by reason of his Corporate Status. Without in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee arising out of the amount of any deductible
or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding over the coverage of any insurance referred to in the previous sentence.
The purchase, establishment and maintenance of any such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company or Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Company and the Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company under any such insurance policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from

  
 10 

 
any source of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give
prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. 

Section 16. Coordination of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. 

Section 17. Reports to Stockholders. To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company shall report in writing to its
stockholders the payment of any amounts for indemnification of, or advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee under this Agreement arising out of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company with the notice of the meeting of stockholders of the Company
next following the date of the payment of any such indemnification or advance of Expenses or prior to such meeting. 

Section 18. Duration of Agreement; Binding Effect. 
 (a) This Agreement shall continue until and terminate on the later of (i) the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as
a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company and (ii) the date that Indemnitee is no longer subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including any rights of
appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement). 
 (b) The
indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, trustee,
officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was
serving in such capacity at the request of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives. 

(c) The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to
all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

  
 11 

 (d) The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at
some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking
injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining
any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. Indemnitee shall further be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the
necessity of posting bonds or other undertakings in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that, in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement
of such a bond or undertaking. 
 Section 19. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall
be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or
sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest
extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. 
 Section 20.
Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. One such counterpart
signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 

Section 21. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof. 
 Section 22. Modification and
Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 23.
Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication
shall have been directed, on the day of such delivery, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

 TAX ASSET PROTECTION PLAN 

This TAX ASSET PROTECTION PLAN (the “Plan”), is made as of February 21, 2012 by and between MakeMusic, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation (the “Company”), and Well Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”, which term shall include any successor Rights Agent hereunder). 

The Company has certain net operating losses and other tax attributes (collectively, “NOLs”) for United States federal and
state income tax purposes. The Company desires to avoid an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and thereby preserve the Company’s ability
to utilize such NOLS for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. In furtherance of this objective, the Company desires to enter into this Plan. 
 The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (individually a “Right” and collectively the “Rights”) for each share
of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company outstanding as of the Close of Business (as hereinafter defined) on March 2, 2012 (the “Record Date”), each Right representing the right to purchase one ten-thousandth of a share
of Preferred Stock (as hereinafter defined), upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and has further authorized and directed the issuance of one Right with respect to each share of Common Stock that becomes outstanding between
the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined). 
 Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Plan, the following terms have the meanings indicated: 
 (a) “Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person who is or becomes the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after the date of adoption of this Plan;
provided, however, that the term “Acquiring Person” shall not include (i) any Person who is the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the time of the adoption of this Plan and who
continuously thereafter is the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (an “Existing Holder”), until such time thereafter as the Existing Holder becomes the Beneficial Owner (other than by means of a
stock dividend, stock split or reclassification) of (x) any additional shares of Common Stock or (y) less than 4.95% of the Common Stock then outstanding (after which time, if such Person shall be the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more
of the Common Stock then outstanding, such Person shall be or become deemed an “Acquiring Person”); (ii) any Person who becomes the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after the time of the
first public announcement of this Plan, or an Existing Holder who becomes the Beneficial Owner of additional shares of Common Stock, solely as a result of (A) an acquisition by the Company of shares of Common Stock, or (B) an acquisition
directly from the Company approved by the Board of Directors, until, in each case, such 

 
time thereafter as such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner (other than by means of a stock dividend, stock split or reclassification) of any additional shares of Common Stock while such Person
is or as a result of which such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or an Existing Holder becomes the Beneficial Owner of additional shares of Common Stock, or (iii) any Person who the
Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, has inadvertently become the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or, for an Existing Holder, has inadvertently increased its ownership of Common Stock,
if, in each case, such Person promptly divests, or promptly enters into an agreement with, and satisfactory to, the Board of Directors, in the Board of Directors’ sole discretion, to divest, and subsequently divests in accordance with the terms
of such agreement (without exercising or retaining any power, including voting power, with respect to such shares), sufficient shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into, exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock) so that such
Person ceases to be the Beneficial Owner of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or, for an Existing Holder, returns to no greater ownership than it had immediately prior to its inadvertent acquisition of shares of Common Stock.
In addition, the term “Acquiring Person” shall not include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee stock ownership or other employee benefit plan of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company,
and (iv) any entity or trustee holding shares of Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan or for the purpose of funding any such plan or funding other employee benefits for employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the
Company, shall not be an Acquiring Person (each of (i) through (iv) of this sentence an “Exempt Person”). For all purposes of this Plan, any calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any particular time,
for purposes of determining the particular percentage of such outstanding Common Stock of which any Person is the Beneficial Owner, shall be made pursuant to and in accordance with Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 (b) “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to
such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as in effect on the date of this Plan. 

(c) A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of and shall be deemed to “beneficially own” or have
“beneficial ownership” of any securities: 
 (i) which such Person or any of such Person’s
Affiliates or Associates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, including without limitation securities with respect to which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has “beneficial ownership” pursuant to Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act; 
 (ii) which such Person would be deemed to indirectly or constructively own for
purposes of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; 
 (iii) which any
other Person Beneficially Owns, but only if such Person and such other Person are part of the same group of Persons that, with respect to such security, are treated as one “entity” as defined under Treasury Regulation 1.382-3(a)(1);

  
 2 

 (iv) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates
has, directly or indirectly (A) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than customary agreements with and between
underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; or (B) the right to vote pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing; 
 (v) which are beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, by any other Person (or any Affiliates or Associates thereof) with which such Person (or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than customary agreements with and
between underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except to the extent contemplated by the proviso to Section 1(c)(ii)(A)) or disposing of
any securities of the Company; or 
 (vi) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates
are determined to Constructively Own; 
 provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the “Beneficial Owner”, or
to have “Beneficial Ownership” of, or to “Beneficially Own”, any security (A) solely because such security has been tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates
or Associates until such tendered security is accepted for payment or exchange, (B) solely because such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such security pursuant
to a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made to more than ten holders of shares of a class of stock of the Company registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the applicable provisions of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, except if such power (or the arrangements relating thereto (whether or not in writing)) is then reportable under Item 6 of Schedule 13D
under the Exchange Act (or any similar provision of a comparable or successor statement), (C) solely as a result of such Person’s status as a “clearing agency,” as defined in Section 3(a)(23) of the Exchange Act, or
(D) to be issued upon the exercise or exchange of any of these Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no officer or director of the Company shall be deemed to Beneficially Own any securities of any other Person solely by virtue of any actions
that such officer or director takes in such capacity. 
 (d) “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday,
a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the State of Minnesota are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
 (e) “Close of Business” on any given date shall mean 5:00 P.M., Minneapolis, Minnesota time on such date; provided, however, that if such date is not a Business Day it shall mean 5:00 P.M.,
Minneapolis, Minnesota on the next succeeding Business Day. 

  
 3 

 (f) “Common Stock” when used with reference to the Company shall mean the shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company. “Common Stock” when used with reference to any Person other than the Company shall mean the capital stock (or equity interest) with the greatest voting power of such other Person
or, if such other Person is a Subsidiary of another Person, the Person or Persons which ultimately control such first-mentioned Person. 
 (g) “Constructively Own” means ownership of shares of Common Stock in respect of which such Person has a Synthetic Long Position, calculated in the manner set forth below. The number of shares
of Common Stock in respect of a Synthetic Long Position that shall be deemed to be Constructively Owned is the notional or other number of shares of Common Stock in respect of such Synthetic Long Position that is specified in a filing by such Person
or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates with the SEC or in the documentation evidencing such Synthetic Long Position as the basis upon which the value or settlement amount of such right or derivative, or the opportunity of the holder
of such right or derivative to profit or share in any profit, is to be calculated in whole or in part, and in any case (or if no such number of shares of Common Stock is specified in any filing or documentation), as determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith to be the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Synthetic Long Position relates. 
 (h)
“Distribution Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3 hereof. 
 (i) “Final Expiration
Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7 hereof. 
 (j) “Person” shall mean any individual, firm,
partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, business trust, trust, association, syndicate, group (as such term is used in Rule 13d-5 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, as such Rule is in effect on
the date of this Plan), corporation or other entity, including, in each case, any successor thereof and any unincorporated group of persons who, by formal or informal agreement or arrangement, have embarked on a common purpose or act. 

(k) “Preferred Stock” shall mean shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Company having the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights attached to this Plan as Exhibit A. 
 (l) “Redemption Date” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 7 hereof. 
 (m) “Right Certificate” shall have the meaning set for in Section 3(a) hereof. 
 (n) “Shares Acquisition Date” shall mean the first date of public announcement by the Company (by any means) that a Person has become an Acquiring Person. 

(o) “Subsidiary” of any Person shall mean any corporation or other entity of which a majority of the voting power of the voting
equity securities or other equity interests entitled to vote in the election of directors (or Persons with comparable responsibilities if the entity has no directors) is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such Person, or otherwise
controlled by such Person. 

  
 4 

 (p) “Synthetic Long Position” shall mean any option, warrant, convertible
security, stock appreciation right, swap agreement or other security, contract right or derivative position, whether or not presently exercisable, that has an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related
to the value of Common Stock or a value determined in whole or part with reference to, or derived in whole or in part from, the value of Common Stock and that increases in value as the value of Common Stock increases or that provides to the holder
an opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase in the value of Common Stock, in any case without regard to whether (i) such derivative conveys any voting rights in such securities to such
Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates, (ii) such derivative is required to be, or capable of being, settled through delivery of such securities, or (iii) such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or
Associates may have entered into other transactions that hedge the economic effect of such derivative. A Synthetic Long Position shall not include any interests, rights, options or other securities set forth in Rule 16a-1(c)(1)-(5) or
(7) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act. 
 (q) “Trust” shall have the meaning set forth
in Section 24(e). 
 (r) “Trust Agreement” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 24(e). 

Section 2. Appointment of Rights Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Company and the
holders of the Rights (who, in accordance with Section 3 hereof, shall prior to the Distribution Date also be the holders of the Common Stock) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such
appointment. The Company may from time to time appoint such co-Rights Agents as it may deem necessary or desirable, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall have no duty to supervise, and shall
in no event be liable, for the acts or omissions of any such co-Rights Agent. 
 Section 3. Issue of Right
Certificates. 
 (a) Until the earlier of (i) the Shares Acquisition Date or (ii) the Close of Business on the
tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of the commencement by any Person (other than an Exempt Person) of a tender
or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any Person (other than an Exempt Person) becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the “Distribution Date”), (x) the Rights will be
evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof) by the certificates for Common Stock registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by separate Right
Certificates, and (y) the right to receive Right Certificates will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything stated in this Section 3, the Distribution Date shall in no event occur until
the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to redeem the Rights pursuant to Section 23(b), as such Section may be amended pursuant to Section 27, shall have terminated. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the
Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will countersign, and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if requested, send) by first-class, postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of Common Stock as of the
Close of 

  
 5 

 
Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, one or more Right Certificates, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, evidencing one
Right for each share of Common Stock so held. As of the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by such Right Certificates. 
 (b) A Summary of Rights to Purchase Preferred Stock, as amended (the “Summary of Rights”), is set forth in Exhibit C hereto. With respect to certificates for Common Stock outstanding as of the
Record Date, until the Distribution Date (or the earlier Redemption Date or Final Expiration Date), the Rights will be evidenced by such certificates registered in the names of the holders thereof. Until the Distribution Date (or the earlier
Redemption Date or Final Expiration Date), the surrender for transfer of any certificate for Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, with or without a copy of the Summary of Rights attached thereto, shall also constitute the transfer of the
Rights associated with the Common Stock represented thereby. 
 (c) Certificates for Common Stock which become outstanding
(including, without limitation, reacquired Common Stock referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph (c)) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date shall have
impressed on, printed on, written on or otherwise affixed to them the following legend: 
 This certificate also evidences and
entitles the holder hereof to certain rights (the “Rights”) as set forth in an Tax Asset Protection Plan between MakeMusic, Inc. and Well Fargo Bank, N.A., dated as of February 21, 2012 (the “Plan”), the terms of which
(including restrictions on the transfer of such Rights) are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of MakeMusic, Inc. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Plan, such
Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. MakeMusic, Inc. will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Plan without charge after receipt of a written request therefore. Under
certain circumstances, as set forth in the Plan, Rights that are or were issued to any Person who becomes an Acquiring Person, or any Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined in the Plan), whether currently held by or on behalf of
such Person or by any subsequent holder thereof, may become null and void. 
 With respect to such certificates containing the foregoing legend,
until the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates shall be evidenced by such certificates alone, and the surrender for transfer
of any such certificate shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented thereby. In the event that the Company purchases or acquires any Common Stock after the Record Date but prior to the Distribution
Date, any Rights associated with such Common Stock shall be deemed cancelled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with the Common Stock which are no longer outstanding. 

  
 6 

 Section 4. Form of Right Certificates. The Right Certificates (and the forms of
election to purchase Preferred Stock and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially the same as Exhibit B hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements
printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or
regulation of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to usage. Subject to the provisions of Sections 11 and 22 hereof, the initial Right Certificates shall entitle the
holders thereof to purchase such number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock as shall be set forth therein at the price per one ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock set forth therein (the “Purchase Price”), but the
amount and type of securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Right shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

Section 5. Countersignature and Registration. 
 (a) The Right Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, or its Treasurer,
either manually or by facsimile signature. The Right Certificates shall be countersigned either manually or by facsimile signature, by the Rights Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless countersigned. In case any officer of the Company
who shall have signed any of the Right Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Right Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by
the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Right Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Right Certificate may be signed on behalf of
the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Right Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Right Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Plan any such person was not such an
officer. 
 (b) Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its principal office, books
for registration and transfer of the Right Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Right Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face by each of the Right Certificates
and the date of each of the Right Certificates. 
 Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Right
Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Right Certificates. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 14
hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the earlier of the Redemption Date or the Final Expiration Date, any Right Certificate or Right Certificates (other than Right
Certificates representing Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate or
Right Certificates, entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock as the Right Certificate or Right Certificates surrendered then entitled such holder (or former holder in the case of
a transfer) to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange 

  
 7 

 
any Right Certificate or Right Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Right Certificate or Right Certificates to be transferred,
split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Rights Agent. Thereupon the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 14 hereof, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as
the case may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment by the registered holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Right
Certificates. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect to the transfer of any such surrendered Right Certificate until the registered holder shall have duly completed and executed the
form of assignment on the form of assignment on the reverse side of such Right Certificate and shall have provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of such Right Certificate or Affiliates
or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request. 
 (b) Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Right Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to them, and, at the Company’s request,
reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Right Certificate
of like tenor to the Rights Agent for countersignature and delivery to the registered owner in lieu of the Right Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. 
 Section 7. Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights. 
 (a) Except as provided in Section 11(a)(ii), the registered holder of any Right Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein) in whole or in part at any
time after the Distribution Date upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side thereof duly completed and executed, to the Rights Agent at the principal office of the Rights Agent, together with
payment of the Purchase Price for each one ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock as to which the Rights are exercised, at or prior to the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on February 20, 2015 or such earlier time at which the
Company’s Board of Directors determines that the NOLs are fully utilized or no longer available under Section 382 of the Code or that this Plan is no longer required to protect the value or availability of the NOLs (the “Final
Expiration Date”), (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof (the “Redemption Date”), or (iii) the time at which such Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 24 hereof.

 (b) The Purchase Price for each one ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock purchasable pursuant to the exercise of a
Right shall initially be $15.00 (fifteen dollars), shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 11 or 13 hereof and shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in accordance with paragraph
(c) below. 
 (c) Upon receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to
purchase duly completed and executed, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for the shares to be purchased and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax required to be paid 

  
 8 

 
by the holder of such Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9 hereof by cash, certified check, cashier’s check or money order payable to the order of the Company, the Rights
Agent shall thereupon promptly (i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent (or make available, if the Rights Agent is the transfer agent for the shares) of the Preferred Stock certificates for the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be
purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or (B) if the Company shall have elected to deposit the total number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights
under this Plan with a depository agent, requisition from the depository agent depository receipts representing such number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the Preferred
Stock represented by such receipts shall be deposited by the transfer agent with the depository agent) and the Company hereby directs the depository agent to comply with such request, (ii) when appropriate, requisition from the Company the
amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, (iii) promptly after receipt of such certificates or depository receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the
registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder and (iv) when appropriate, after receipt, deliver such cash for fractional interests in shares to or upon the order of the
registered holder of such Right Certificate. 
 (d) In case the registered holder of any Right Certificate shall exercise less
than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Right Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent and delivered to the registered holder of such Right Certificate or to such
holder’s duly authorized assigns, subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in
this Plan to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such
registered holder shall have (i) duly completed and executed the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Right Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity
of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of such Right Certificate or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request. 
 Section 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Right Certificates. All Right Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered
to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it, and no Right Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as
expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Plan. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Right Certificate purchased or acquired by the
Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. Subject to applicable law and regulation, the Rights Agent shall maintain in a retrievable database electronic records of all cancelled or destroyed stock certificates which have been canceled or
destroyed by the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall maintain such electronic records for the time period required by applicable law and regulation. Upon written request of the Company (and at the expense of the Company), the Rights Agent
shall provide to the Company or its designee copies of such electronic records relating to rights certificates cancelled or destroyed by the Rights Agent.

 Section 9. Availability of Preferred Stock. 

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued Preferred
Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. 
 (b) At such time, if any, and so long as the Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rights may be listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from
and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all shares reserved for such issuance to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise. 
 (c) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Preferred Stock delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of
the certificates for such Preferred Stock (subject to payment of the Purchase Price and any applicable transfer taxes), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares. 

(d) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and
charges which may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or of any Preferred Stock upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer or delivery of Right Certificates to a person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates or depository receipts for the Preferred Stock in a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Right Certificate
evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or to deliver any certificates or depository receipts for Preferred Stock upon the exercise of any Rights until any such tax shall have been paid (any such tax being payable by the holder of
such Right Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax is due. 
 Section 10. Preferred Stock Record Date. Each person in whose name any certificate for Preferred Stock is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the
holder of record of the Preferred Stock represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer
taxes) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Preferred Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and
such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Preferred Stock transfer books of the Company are open. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Right Certificate as such shall not be
entitled to any rights of a holder of Preferred Stock for which the Rights shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be
entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein.

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

(a)(i) In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Plan (A) declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock payable
in Preferred Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Preferred Stock or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of
the Preferred Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange in which the Company is the continuing, surviving or acquiring corporation), except as otherwise provided in this
Section 11 (a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable on such
date pursuant to the exercise of the Rights, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer taxes), the
aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a time when the Preferred Stock transfer books of the Company were open, such holder would have owned upon such
exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification. If an event occurs which would require adjustment under both Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the adjustment provided
for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii). 
 (ii) Subject to Section 24 of this Plan, in the event any Person, alone or together with its Affiliates and Associates, becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision shall be made so that each holder
of a Right, except as provided below, shall thereafter have a right to receive, upon exercise thereof by payment of the amount equal to the then current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock for
which a Right would otherwise be then exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Plan and in lieu of Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by (x) multiplying the then
current Purchase Price by the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock for which a Right would otherwise be then exercisable and (y) dividing that product by 50% of the then current per share market price of the
Company’s Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of the occurrence of such event; provided, however, that if the transaction that would otherwise give rise to the foregoing adjustment is also subject to the
provisions of Section 13 hereof, then only the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall apply and no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii); and provided further that the adjustment set forth in this
Section 11(a)(ii) shall be effective only at and after the time at which the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to redeem the Rights pursuant to Section 23(b), as such Section may be amended pursuant to Section 27,
shall have terminated. Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 11(a)(ii), no holder of Rights shall be entitled to receive Common Stock (or other shares of capital stock of the Company) that would result in such
holder, together with such holder’s Affiliates, becoming the Beneficial Owner of more than 4.95% of the then outstanding 

  
 11 

 
Common Stock (such shares in excess of 4.95%, the “Excess Shares”), if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that, in lieu of receiving such Excess Shares and to the extent
permitted by law or orders applicable to the Company, such holder will only be entitled to receive an amount in cash or, at the election of the Company, a note or other evidence of indebtedness maturing within nine months with a principal amount,
equal to the current per share market price of a share of Common Stock at the close of Business on the Trading Day following the date of exercise multiplied by the number of Excess Shares that would otherwise have been issuable to such holder.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Person shall become an Acquiring Person, including a person
that becomes an Acquiring Person (but not solely based upon the exercise or exchange of any of these Rights) after another Person has become as Acquiring Person, any Rights that are or, after becoming an Acquiring Person, were beneficially owned by
an Acquiring Person (or any Associate or Affiliate of such Acquiring Person), shall become null and void at the time of such event without any further action, and no holder of such Rights shall thereafter have any right to exercise such Rights or
any other rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Plan or otherwise. No Right Certificate shall be issued pursuant to Section 3 hereof that represents Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person
or any Associate or Affiliate of any Acquiring Person whose Rights would be void pursuant to the preceding sentence; no Right Certificate shall be issued at any time upon the transfer of any Rights to an Acquiring Person whose Rights would be void
pursuant to the preceding sentence or any Associate or Affiliate thereof or to any nominee of such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate; and any Right Certificate delivered to the Rights Agent for transfer to an Acquiring Person or any Associate
or Affiliate thereof whose Rights would be void pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be canceled. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of this Section 11(a)(ii) are complied with, but shall have no
liability to any holder of a Right Certificate or other Person as a result of its failure in good faith to make any determinations with respect to an Acquiring Person or its Affiliates or Associates. 

(iii) In lieu of issuing Common Stock in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the Company may, if the
Company’s Board of Directors determines that such action is necessary or appropriate and not contrary to the interest of holders of Rights (and, in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock which are authorized by the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights are not sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Rights, or if any necessary regulatory approval for such issuance has
not been obtained by the Company): (A) determine the excess of (1) the value of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the “Current Value”) over (2) the Purchase Price (such excess, the “Spread”)
and (B) with respect to each Right, make adequate provision to substitute in whole or in part for such Common Stock, upon exercise of the Rights, (including, without limitation, full payment of the Purchase Price) (1) cash, (2) a
reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, shares or units of shares of any series of preferred stock which the Board of Directors of the Company has deemed to have the same value
as Common Stock), except to the extent that the Company has not obtained any necessary shareholder or regulatory approval for such 

  
 12 

 
issuance, (4) debt securities of the Company, except to the extent that the Company has not obtained any necessary shareholder or regulatory approval for such issuance, (5) other assets
or (6) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal to the Current Value, where such aggregate value has been determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon the advice of a nationally recognized investment
banking firm selected by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) days following the later of
(x) the first occurrence of a Distribution Date and (y) the date on which the Company’s right of redemption pursuant to Section 23(b) expires (the later of (x) and (y) being referred to herein as the “Trigger
Date”), then the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, Common Stock (to the extent available), except to the extent that the Company has not
obtained any necessary shareholder or regulatory approval for such issuance, and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread. If the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in good faith
that it is likely that sufficient additional Common Stock could be authorized for issuance upon exercise in full of the Rights or that any necessary regulatory approval for such issuance will be obtained, the thirty (30) day period set forth
above may be extended to the extent necessary, but not more than ninety (90) days after the Trigger Date, in order that the Company may seek shareholder approval for the authorization of such additional shares or take action to obtain such
regulatory approval (such period, as it may be extended, the “Substitution Period”). To the extent that the Company determines that some action need be taken pursuant to the first and/or second sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii),
the Company (x) shall provide, subject to the second paragraph of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, that such action shall apply uniformly to all outstanding Rights and (y) may suspend the exercisability of the Rights until the expiration of
the Substitution Period in order to seek any authorization of additional shares, to take any action to obtain any required regulatory approval and/or to decide the appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to such first sentence and to
determine the value thereof. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the
suspension is no longer in effect. For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of the Common Stock shall be the current per share market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) of the Common Stock on the Trigger Date
and the value of any “common stock equivalent” shall be deemed to have the same value as the Common Stock on such date. 
 (b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Preferred Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such
record date) to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Stock (or shares having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Preferred Stock (“equivalent preferred shares”)) or securities convertible into Preferred Stock or equivalent
preferred shares at a price per share of Preferred Stock or equivalent preferred share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security convertible into Preferred Stock or equivalent preferred shares) less than the then current per share
market price of the Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately
prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which 

  
 13 

 
shall be the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Preferred Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of
Preferred Stock and/or equivalent preferred shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current per share market price and the denominator of which
shall be the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional shares of Preferred Stock and/or equivalent preferred shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible
securities so to be offered are initially convertible). In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Preferred Stock owned by or held for the account of the
Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase
Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 
 (c) In
case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of the Preferred Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation or in a statutory share exchange) of evidences of indebtedness or cash or non-cash assets (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or a dividend payable in Preferred Stock) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those
referred to in Section 11(b) hereof), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the then current per share market price of the Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or cash or non-cash assets so to be distributed on, or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to, one share of
Preferred Stock and the denominator of which shall be such current per share market price of the Preferred Stock. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is record
date had not so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such not been fixed. 
 (d)(i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “current per share market price” of any security (a “Security” for the purpose of this Section 11(d)(i)) on any date shall
be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such Security for the 30 consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event that the current per
share market price of the Security is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer of such Security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Security payable in shares of such Security or securities convertible into such
Security (other than the Rights), or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Security, and prior to the expiration of 30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such
subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the 

  
 14 

 
current per share market price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the current market price per share equivalent of such Security. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale
price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities
listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities
listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the
average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System (“NASDAQ”) or such other system then in use, or, if on any such
date the Security is not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Security selected by the Board of Directors of the Company. If on any such
date no market maker is making a market in the Security, the fair value of such shares on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be used in lieu of the closing price for such date. The term “Trading
Day” shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, a Business Day. Except as provided in Section 11(d)(ii) with respect to Preferred Stock, if on any such day the Security is not publicly held or no professional market maker is making a market in the Security, the fair
value of such Security on such day as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of
the Rights) shall be used in lieu of the closing price for such day. 
 (ii) For the purpose of any computation
hereunder, the “current per share market price” of the Preferred Stock shall be determined in accordance with the method set forth in Section 11(d)(i). If the Preferred Stock is not publicly traded, the “current per share market
price” of the Preferred Stock shall be conclusively deemed to be the current per share market price of the Common Stock as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) (appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or
similar transaction occurring after the date hereof), multiplied by ten thousand. If neither the Common Stock nor the Preferred Stock is publicly held or so listed or traded, “current per share market price” shall mean the fair value per
share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. 

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as provided in the third sentence of this Section 11(e), no adjustment
in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to be made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations 

  
 15 

 
under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one one-millionth of a share of Preferred Stock or one ten-thousandth of a share of Common Stock or any other share
or security as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the transaction which
requires such adjustment or (ii) the Final Expiration Date. 
 (f) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to
Section 11(a) or Section 13(a), the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Preferred Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable
upon exercise of any Right shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Stock contained in Section 11(a) through (c), inclusive,
and Section 11(e), and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 with respect to the Preferred Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. 
 (g) All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of one
ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 
 (h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in Sections 11(b) and (c), each
Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest one
one-millionth of a share of Preferred Stock) obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of one ten-thousandths of a share covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such adjustment of the Purchase Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price. 
 (i) The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights, in substitution for any adjustment in the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of
Preferred Stock purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock for which a Right was
exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights (calculated to the nearest one ten-thousandth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating
the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Right Certificates have been issued,
shall be at least 10 days later than the date of the public announcement. If Right Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause
to be distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates on such record date 

  
 16 

 
Right Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company,
shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Right Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Right Certificates
evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Right Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and shall be registered in the names of
the holders of record of Right Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. 
 (j) Irrespective of any
adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase
Price and the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock which were expressed in the initial Right Certificates issued hereunder. 
 (k) In any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the
occurrence of such event the issuing to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the Preferred Stock and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Preferred Stock and
other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other
appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
 (l) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by
this Section 11, as and to the extent that it in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any (i) consolidation or subdivision of the Preferred Stock, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any Preferred Stock at
less than the current market price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of Preferred Stock or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Stock, (iv) dividends on Preferred Stock payable in Preferred Stock
or (v) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to hereinabove in Section 11(b), hereafter made by the Company to holders of its Preferred Stock shall not be taxable to such shareholders. 

(m) Anything in this Plan or the Rights notwithstanding, in the event that at any time after the date of this Plan and prior to the
Distribution Date, the Company shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or (ii) effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
payment of dividends in Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of Common Stock, then in any such case (x) the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock purchasable after such event upon proper exercise of each Right
shall be determined by multiplying the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock so purchasable immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and (y) each share of Common Stock outstanding 

  
 17 

 
immediately after such event shall have issued with respect to it that number of Rights which each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event had issued with respect to it.
The adjustments provided for in this Section 11(m) shall be made successively whenever such a dividend is declared or paid or such a subdivision, combination or consolidation is effected. If an event occurs which would require adjustment under
both Section 11(a)(ii) and this Section 11(m), the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(m) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii). 

Section 12. Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in
Section 11 or 13 hereof, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer
agent for the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) if such adjustment is made after the Distribution Date, mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate in accordance with Section 25
hereof. 
 Section 13. Consolidation, Merger, Statutory Share Exchange or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning
Power. 
 (a) In the event that, on or after the Distribution Date, directly or indirectly: 

(i) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with and into, any other Person, and the Company shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger; 
 (ii) any Person shall consolidate with
the Company, or merge with and into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger and, in connection with such consolidation or merger, all or part of the outstanding Common Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person (or the Company), money or any other property (except as the result of the exercise of statutory dissenters’ rights); or 

(iii) the Company shall effect a statutory share exchange with the outstanding Common Stock of the Company being exchanged
for stock or other securities of any other Person, cash or other property; 
 (iv) the Company shall sell or
otherwise transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer), in one or a series of related transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the Company or one or more of its wholly owned Subsidiaries); 

  
 18 

 then, and in each such case in clause (i) through (iv), proper provision shall be made
so that: 
 (A) each holder of a Right (except as otherwise provided herein) shall thereafter have the right to
receive, upon the exercise thereof by payment of the amount equal to the product of the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of a Right and the then current Purchase Price in
accordance with the terms of this Plan and in lieu of Preferred Stock, such number of validly authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradable Common Stock of the Principal Party (as hereinafter defined), not subject to any
liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal or adverse claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of one ten-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock for which a Right would
otherwise be exercisable, and (y) dividing that product by 50% of the then current per share market price of the Common Stock of such Principal Party (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of consummation of such
consolidation, merger, exchange, sale or transfer; 
 (B) such Principal Party shall thereafter be liable for,
and shall assume, by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale, exchange or transfer, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Plan; 
 (C) the term “Company” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such Principal Party; and 
 (D) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including, but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of its shares of Common Stock to permit the exercise of all outstanding Rights) in
connection with the consummation of any such transaction as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to its Common Stock thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise of the Rights. 
 (b) “Principal Party” shall mean: 

(i) in the case of any transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of
Section 13(a), the Person (including, without limitation, the Company as successor thereto or as the surviving corporation) that is the issuer of any securities into which Common Stock of the Company are converted in such merger, consolidation
or exchange, or if no securities are so issued, the Person that is the other party to such merger, consolidation or exchange; and 
 (ii) in the case of any transaction described in clause (iv) of the first sentence of Section 13(a), the Person that is the party receiving the greatest portion of the assets or earning power
transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions; 
 provided, however, that in any such case, (1) if the shares of
Common Stock of such Person are not at such time or have not been continuously over the preceding 12-month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person the Common
Stock of which are and have been so registered, “Principal Party” shall refer to such other Person, and (2) in case such Person is a Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, of more than one Person, the Common Stock of two or more of which
are and have been so registered, “Principal Party” shall refer to whichever of such Persons is the issuer of the Common Stock having the greatest aggregate market value. 

  
 19 

 (c) The Company shall not consummate any event described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) of the first sentence of Section 13(a) unless the Principal Party shall have a sufficient number of authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock which have not been issued or are held in treasury to permit the exercise
in full of the Rights in accordance with this Section 13 and unless prior thereto the Company and such Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing for the terms set forth in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 and further providing that, as soon as practicable after the date of any event described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the first sentence of Section 13(a), the
Principal Party will: 
 (i) prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Securities Act”), with respect to the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, on an appropriate form, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to (A) become effective as soon as
practicable after such filing and (B) remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (1) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities
or (2) the Final Expiration Date; 
 (ii) take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure
compliance with, the securities or “blue sky” laws of the various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights; and 
 (iii) deliver to holders of the Rights historical financial statements for the Principal Party and each of its Affiliates, which comply in all respects with the requirements for registration on Form 10
under the Exchange Act. 
 (d) The Company shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this Section 13
if at the time of such transaction there are any rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding or any agreements or arrangements which, as a result of the consummation of such transaction, would eliminate or substantially diminish the
benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. 
 (e) The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to
successive mergers, consolidations, exchanges, sales or other transfers. 
 Section 14. Fractional Rights and Fractional
Shares. 
 (a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates which
evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights, there may be paid to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same
fraction of the current market value of a whole Right. For the purposes of this Section 14(a), the current market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such

  
 20 

 
fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable. The closing price for any day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Rights are not listed
or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or admitted
to trading or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by
NASDAQ or such other system then in use or, if on any such date the Rights are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Rights selected by
the Board of Directors of the Company. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Rights, the fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company shall be used.

 (b) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Preferred Stock (other than fractions which are
integral multiples of one ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Preferred Stock (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one ten-thousandth of a
share of Preferred Stock). Fractions of shares of Preferred Stock in integral multiples of one ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depository receipts, pursuant to an appropriate
agreement between the Company and a depository selected by it; provided, that such agreement shall provide that the holders of such depository receipts shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which they are entitled as beneficial
owners of the Preferred Stock represented by such depository receipts. In lieu of fractional shares of Preferred Stock that are not integral multiples of one ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, the Company may pay to the registered holders
of Right Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of one share of Preferred Stock. For the purposes of this Section 14(b), the current market
value of a share of Preferred Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.

 (c) The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives any right to receive any fractional Rights or any
fractional shares upon exercise of a Right (except as provided above). 
 Section 15. Rights of Action. All rights
of action in respect of this Plan, excepting the rights of action given to the Rights Agent under Section 18 hereof, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Right Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the registered
holders of the Common Stock); and any registered holder of any Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of the Common Stock), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Right Certificate (or, prior to the
Distribution Date, of the Common Stock), may, in such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect
of, such 

  
 21 

 
holder’s right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate in the manner provided in such Right Certificate and in this Plan. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies
available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Plan and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive
relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations of any Person subject to, this Plan. 
 Section 16.
Agreement of Right Holders. Every holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that: 

(a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the Common Stock; 

(b) after the Distribution Date, the Right Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights Agent if surrendered at
the principal office of the Rights Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer; 
 (c) the Company and
the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Stock certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Right Certificates or the associated Common Stock certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the
Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; 
 (d) the Company may issue Rights after the Effective Date but
prior to the Distribution Date, and in certain instances after the Distribution Date, as provided in this Plan; and 
 (e)
notwithstanding anything in this Plan or the Rights to the contrary, the Company, the Rights Agent and the Board of Directors of the Company shall not have any liability to any holder of a Right or other Person as a result of the inability of the
Company or the Rights Agent to perform any of its obligations under this Plan by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or
administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation. 

Section 17. Right Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of any Right Certificate shall be entitled
to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein
or in any Right Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Right Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders
at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in Section 25 hereof), or to receive dividends or subscription rights,
or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with the provisions hereof. 

  
 22 

 Section 18. Concerning the Rights Agent. 

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to
time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Plan and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also agrees to
indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense, incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in
connection with the acceptance and administration of this Plan, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises. 
 (b) The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for, or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with, its administration of this Plan in reliance upon
any Right Certificate or certificate for the Preferred Stock or Common Stock or for other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate,
statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper person or persons, or otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth in Section 20
hereof. 
 Section 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. 

(a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the stock transfer or corporate trust powers of the Rights Agent or any successor
Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Plan without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a
successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. If at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Plan, any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any
such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor
Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right
Certificates and in this Plan. 
 (b) In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of
the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned; and

  
 23 

 
in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and
in all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Plan. 

Section 20. Duties of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Plan upon the
following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Right Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 
 (a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent
as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 
 (b) Whenever in the performance of
its duties under this Plan the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter (including, without limitation, the identity of any Acquiring Person and the determination of the “current per share market price”) be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a
certificate signed by any one of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such
certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Plan in reliance upon such certificate. 

(c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder to the Company and any other Person only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. 
 (d) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained
in this Plan or in the Right Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. 

(e) The Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Plan or the execution and delivery hereof
(except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Right Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition
contained in this Plan or in any Right Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including the Rights becoming void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) or any adjustment in the terms of the
Rights (including the manner, method or amount thereof) provided for in Section 3, 11, 13, 23 or 24, or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such change or adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights
evidenced by Right Certificates after actual notice that such change or adjustment is required); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Preferred Stock to be
issued pursuant to this Plan or any Right Certificate or as to whether any Preferred Stock will, when issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

  
 24 

 (f) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be
performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Plan.

 (g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties
hereunder from any one of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions
in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any delay in acting while waiting for those instructions. 

(h) The Rights Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or
other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under
this Plan. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. 
 (i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent
shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in
the selection and continued employment thereof. 
 (j) No provision of this Plan shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights or powers if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 Section 21. Change of Rights
Agent. The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Plan upon 30 days’ notice in writing mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock by
registered or certified mail, and, if such notice is after the Distribution Date, to the holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon 30 days’ notice in
writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock by registered or certified mail, and, if such notice is mailed after the Distribution Date, to the
holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent.

  
 25 

 
If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the
resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a Right Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit the Right Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the registered holder of any Right Certificate may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of
the State of Minnesota (or of any other state of the United States so long as such corporation is authorized to do business as a banking institution in the State of Minnesota), in good standing, that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust or stock transfer powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million or (b) an
affiliate of a corporation described in clause (a). After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or
deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not
later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the
registered holders of the Right Certificates. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the
appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. 
 Section 22. Issuance of New Right Certificates.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Plan or of the Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment
or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property purchasable under the Right Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. 

Section 23. Redemption and Termination. 
 (a) The Rights may be redeemed only by action of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 23 and shall not be redeemed in any other manner.

 (b) The Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) such time as any
Person becomes an Acquiring Person or (ii) the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $.0001 per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock
split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights by the Board may be made effective at such time, on
such basis and with such conditions as the Board in its sole discretion may establish. 

  
 26 

 (c) Immediately upon the effectiveness of the redemption of the Rights pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section 23 and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. Within 10 days
after such action ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to all the holders of the then outstanding Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to
the Distribution Date, on the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Stock. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption
will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any manner other than that specifically
set forth in this Section 23 or in Section 24 hereof, and other than in connection with the purchase of Common Stock prior to the Distribution Date. 
 Section 24. Exchange. 
 (a) The Board of Directors of the Company
may, at its option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, exchange all or part of the then outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become void pursuant to the provisions of
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) for ten thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock, with each Right to be exchanged for such number of ten thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock as shall equal the result obtained by dividing (x) the then
current Purchase Price by (y) the current per share market price of Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the date the Rights first become exercisable for Common Shares pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) (such
exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”). Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 24, no holder of Rights shall be entitled to receive Common Stock (or other shares
of capital stock of the Company) that would result in such holder, together with such holder’s Affiliates, becoming the Beneficial Owner of more than 4.95% of the then outstanding Common Stock (such shares in excess of 4.95%, the “Excess
Shares”), if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that, in lieu of receiving such Excess Shares and to the extent permitted by law or orders applicable to the Company, such holder will only be entitled to receive an amount in cash or,
at the election of the Company, a note or other evidence of indebtedness maturing within nine months with a principal amount, equal to the current per share market price of a share of Common Stock at the close of Business on the Trading Day
following the date of exercise multiplied by the number of Excess Shares that would otherwise have been issuable to such holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not be empowered to effect such exchange at
any time after any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any such Subsidiary, or any entity holding Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan), together with all
Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50% or more of the Common Stock then outstanding. 

(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Company ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to paragraph
(a) of this Section 24 and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of ten thousandths of
a share of Preferred Stock equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.

  
 27 

 
The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange; provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such
exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange will be effected, and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights
which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights which have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) held by each holder of
Rights. 
 (c) The Company may substitute, for each ten thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock that would otherwise be
exchanged pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 24, such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, or fraction thereof, as the Board in its sole discretion shall determine is the substantial equivalent of one ten thousandth
of a share of Preferred Stock. 
 (d) The Company may but shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common
Stock or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares of Common Stock. In lieu of such fractional shares of Common Stock, the Company may pay to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such
fractional shares of Common Stock would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole share of Common Stock. For the purposes of this paragraph (d), the current market value of a whole
Common Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this Section 24.

 (e) Prior to effecting an exchange pursuant to this Section 24, the Board may direct the Company to enter into a trust
agreement in such form and with such terms as the Board shall then approve (the “Trust Agreement”). If the Board so directs, the Company shall enter into the Trust Agreement and shall issue to the trust created by such Trust Agreement (the
“Trust”) all of the shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities, if any, issuable pursuant to the exchange, and all Persons entitled to receive such shares or other securities (and any dividends or distributions made
thereon after the date on which such shares or other securities are deposited in the Trust) shall be entitled to receive such only from the Trust and solely upon compliance with the relevant terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. 

Section 25. Notice of Certain Events. 
 (a) In case the Company shall propose at any time after the Distribution Date, (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its Preferred Stock or to make any other
distribution to the holders of its Preferred Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer to the holders of its Preferred Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional Preferred Stock or shares
of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Preferred Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding Preferred Stock), (iv) to effect any
consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange into or with, or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more of its 

  
 28 

 
Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to, any other
Person, (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (vi) to declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or to effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in Common Stock), then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a Right Certificate, to the extent feasible and in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a
notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such stock dividend, or distribution of rights or warrants, or the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of the Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by
clause (i) or (ii) above at least 10 days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Preferred Stock for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action, at least 10 days prior to the date of the taking of
such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of the Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.

 Exhibit A 
 CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS 
 of 

SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK 
 ($.01 Par Value) 
 of 

MAKEMUSIC, INC. 

(Pursuant to Section 302A.401 of the 
 Minnesota Business Corporation Act) 
  

 
 The undersigned,
Karen L. VanDerBosch, Chief Financial Officer of MakeMusic, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the business corporation act of the State of Minnesota (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that the following
resolutions establishing a series of junior participating preferred stock pursuant to Chapter 302A of the Minnesota Statutes were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting duly called and held on February 21, 2012:

 RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation (hereinafter
called the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, $.01
par value (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as follows: 

Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock: 
 Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the
number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 3,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by
the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock. 

  
 A-1

 Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. 

(A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking
prior and superior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the
Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of January, March, June
and September in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a “Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A
Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 10,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash
dividends, and 10,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share
of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on
the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the
next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. 

(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to
accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date 

  
 A-2

 
of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend
and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued by unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The
Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for the payment thereof. 
 Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have the following voting rights: 
 (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 10,000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of
Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class
on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. 
 (C) Except as set forth herein, or as
otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking
any corporate action. 

  
 A-3

 Section 4. Certain Restrictions. 

(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided
in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

 (i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; 
 (ii) declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A
Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; 

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends
or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the
Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or 
 (iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance
with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative
rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. 

(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. 

Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall
become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of Incorporation, or in any other
Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law. 

  
 A-4

 Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received $10,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment,
provided that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 10,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed
per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made,
ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any
time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend
in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso
in clause (1) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Section 7. Consolidation,
Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property,
then in any such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarity exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 10,000 times the aggregate
amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend
on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into
a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. 

Section 9. Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of
assets, junior to all series of any other class of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock. 

  
 A-5

 Section 10. Amendment. If any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. 
 (ii) That these resolutions have been adopted in accordance with the requirements of, and pursuant to, Chapter 302A of the Minnesota Statutes and shall be effective when filed with the Minnesota Secretary
of State. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designations is executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chief
Financial Officer this 21st day of February, 2012.

 Exhibit C 
 SUMMARY OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE 
 PREFERRED STOCK 

OF 

MAKEMUSC, INC. 

Introduction 
 On
February 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of MakeMusic, Inc. (the “Company”), initially declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) per share for each outstanding share of common stock, par value
$.01 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. The dividend is payable on March 2, 2012 (the “Record Date”) to shareholders of record at the close of business on that date. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth
in a Tax Asset Protection Plan, dated as of February 21, 2012, (the “Plan”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”). 

The description that follows of the terms of the Plan and of the Rights issued thereunder is a general description only and does not
purport to be complete. The terms of the Rights will in all cases be governed by the Plan. A copy of the Plan has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to the Amendment to Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated
                , 2012. A copy of the Plan is available free of charge from the Company. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Tax Asset Protection Plan. 
 Purchase Price 

Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one ten-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Company at a price of $15.00 (fifteen dollars) per ten-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. 

Distribution Date 
 The
Rights are attached to all certificates representing the Common Stock and no separate certificates evidencing the Rights (“Rights Certificates”) will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a “Distribution
Date” will occur upon the earlier of (i) the date that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an “Acquiring Person” (as defined below), or (ii) ten (10) business days (or such later date as the
Board shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an “Acquiring Person.” Except as set forth below, an “Acquiring Person” is a person or group of
affiliated or associated persons who has acquired beneficial ownership of 4.95% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The term “Acquiring Person” excludes (i) the current holdings of any existing holder of more than 4.95%
of the Company shares, under certain circumstances (ii) the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, and (iv) any person or
entity organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. 

  
 C-1

 Exercisability 
 The Rights are not exercisable until the occurrence of the Distribution Date. Until the occurrence of the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the Common Stock certificates and will
be transferred with and only with such Common Stock certificates, (ii) new Common Stock certificates issued after the Record Date will contain a notation incorporating the Tax Asset Protection Plan by reference, and (iii) the surrender for
transfer of any certificates for Common Stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificates. 
 As soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and,
thereafter, the separate Rights certificates alone will represent the Rights. The Rights will expire at the close of business on February 20, 2015, unless earlier terminated or redeemed by the Company. 

Adjustments 
 The
Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on,
or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Stock, (ii) if holders of the Preferred Stock are granted certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market
price of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred
to above). With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. No fractional Rights will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will
be made based on the market price of the Preferred Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise. 
 Preferred Stock

 Because of the nature of the Preferred Stock’s dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one
ten-thousandth interest in a share of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one share of Common Stock. Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of
the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a quarterly dividend payment of 10,000 times the dividend declared per share of Common Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have 10,000 votes, voting together with the shares of Common Stock. These rights
are protected by customary antidilution provisions. 

  
 C-2

 Flip-In Provision 
 In the event that, at any time following the Distribution Date, a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise of the Right, Common
Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of the event set forth in this
paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Plan) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void and nontransferable and any holder of any such Right (including any purported transferee or
subsequent holder) will be unable to exercise or transfer any such Right. 
 Flip-Over Provision 

In the event that, at any time following the Distribution Date, the Company is acquired in certain merger or other business combination
transactions or 50% or more of the Company’s assets or earning power is sold, mortgaged or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon
exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. 
 Redemption

 At any time until the Shares Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of
$.0001 per Right by resolution of the Board of Directors. 
 Exchange 

At any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person (subject to certain exceptions), and prior to the acquisition by a Person of 50% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange all or part of the Rights for Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio per Right defined in the Plan, subject to adjustment. At its discretion, the Board may
substitute Common Stock or other securities for the Preferred Stock pursuant to the exchange. 
 Rights of Holders 

Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without
limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to shareholders or to the Company, shareholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the
Rights become exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company as set forth above. 

  
 C-3

 Amendments 
 Any of the provisions of the Tax Asset Protection Plan may be amended by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of
the Tax Asset Protection Plan may be amended by resolution of the Company’s Board in order to make changes that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights (excluding the interests of any Acquiring Person or its affiliates or
associates).
