 5. Dividends. 
 (a)
From and after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Series A Preferred Shares, in preference to any other class or series (“Junior Stock”) of the Corporation’s Equity Securities (as defined below),
shall be entitled to receive quarterly dividends accruing from and after the date of issuance thereof on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (each a “Quarterly Date,” and each such
quarterly period, or portion thereof, a “Dividend Payment Period”) at the rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum (the “Dividend Rate”) of the Series A Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined), when, as, and if
declared by the Board; provided, however, that on the date that is five (5) years after the date of the issuance of Series A Preferred Shares (the date of issuance being hereinafter referred to as the “Issue
Date”) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 25, 2006, by and among the Corporation and the purchasers of the Series A Preferred Shares (as may be modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, the
“Share Purchase Agreement”), and on each Quarterly Date thereafter, the Dividend Rate shall increase by 0.25% until such time as the Dividend Rate shall equal eleven percent (11.00%) per annum; provided further,
however, that from and after the date that is seven (7) years after the Issue Date, the Dividend Rate shall increase to fifteen percent (15%) per annum with respect to each Dividend Payment Period ending after such date (including
the Dividend Payment Period during which such date shall occur) for which the Corporation has failed to declare and pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares in full in cash. If the Corporation has failed to declare dividends on the Series A
Preferred Shares and pay such dividends in cash for three (3) consecutive Dividend Payment Periods after the date that is seven (7) years after the Issue Date (including the Dividend Payment Period during which such date shall occur), the
Dividend Rate shall be fixed thereafter at fifteen percent (15%) per annum regardless of whether the dividends are subsequently declared or paid in full in cash. To the extent not paid in cash, all such dividends shall be cumulative and shall
compound on each Quarterly Date on each outstanding Series A Preferred Share whether or not such dividends are earned or declared and whether or not sufficient funds are legally available therefor (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations,
splits, recapitalizations and related transactions with respect to such shares). 
 So long as any Series A Preferred Shares shall be
outstanding, no dividend, whether in cash or property, shall be paid or declared, nor shall any other distribution be made, on any Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of any Junior Stock of the Corporation be purchased, redeemed, or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof (except for (i) redemption of the warrants outstanding pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (the “Public Warrant Agreement”) 

  

 -3- 

 
dated on or about December 16, 2005, by and among the Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company pursuant to
Section 6.1 thereof, or redemption of the warrants outstanding pursuant to the Founding Director Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Founder Warrant Agreement”) dated on or about December 16, 2005 by and among the
Corporation and Stephen B. Hughes, James E. Lewis, Robert J. Gillespie, William E. Hooper, Robert F. McCarthy and Michael R. O’Brien pursuant to Section 1.C. thereof, (ii) redemption of Common Stock, warrants or other Equity
Securities, as set forth in Section 4.14 of the Share Purchase Agreement, (iii) acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares upon termination of
services to the Corporation at a price per share determined in accordance with such agreements or upon the exercise of the Corporation’s right of first offer, if any, upon a proposed transfer, and (iv) redemption of shares of Common
Stock issued in the Corporation’s initial public offering solely as, and to the extent, set forth in Article XII of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the filing of this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation) until all accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares shall have been paid in cash. If any dividend or distribution of any asset is declared and paid on any share of Junior Stock, the holders of Series A
Preferred Shares shall be entitled to share in such dividends or distributions pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Shares are then convertible pursuant to Section 9 hereof
without taking into account any restrictions on conversion set forth in Section 9(l). 
 6. Liquidation. 
 (a) Upon a Liquidation (as defined below), subject to the payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, each
Series A Preferred Share shall be entitled to receive, out of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount (the “Preference Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) $9.00 (the
“Series A Purchase Price”) and (B) all accrued and unpaid dividends (subject to equitable adjustment as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reverse split, reclassification or similar event after the Issue
Date) before any distribution shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, or any other class or series of Junior Stock; provided, however, that in the event a Liquidation occurs on any date that is prior to five (5) years
after the Issue Date, the Preference Amount shall be calculated (including the calculation of accrued and unpaid dividends) assuming the consummation of such Liquidation had occurred on the last date of the Dividend Payment Period to occur on, or
immediately after, the date that is five (5) years after the Issue Date. If upon any Liquidation the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of Series A Preferred Shares
the full Preference Amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall share pro rata in any distribution of assets in accordance with their respective Preference Amounts. 
 (b) Upon any Liquidation, after payment in full of all Preference Amounts, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to share pro rata in the
distribution of the remaining assets of the Corporation. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any Liquidation, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive the greater of (i) the amount such 

  

 -4- 

 
holders would have received under Section 6(a) above and (ii) the amount such holders would have received if such holders had converted his,
her or its Series A Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation in accordance with Section 9 without taking into account any restrictions on conversion set forth in Section 9(l) and
assuming a Preference Amount for such Series A Preferred Shares as set forth in Section 6(a). 
 (d)
“Liquidation” means (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, other than any dissolution, liquidation or winding up in connection with any reincorporation of the Corporation in
another jurisdiction, or (ii) any Sale of the Corporation. “Sale of the Corporation” means (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, (ii) the sale or transfer of the outstanding shares
of capital stock of the Corporation in one or more transactions to a purchaser and Affiliates of such purchaser and/or a “Group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) or Rule 13d-5 thereunder) of purchasers and their Affiliates and other parties acting in concert to purchase such shares (collectively, the “Purchasers”), (iii) the merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with another person or entity, in each case in clauses (ii) and (iii) above under circumstances in which the holders of the voting power of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, immediately prior to such transaction
(other than the Purchasers), own less than fifty percent (50%) in voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation or the surviving or resulting corporation or acquirer, as the case may be, immediately following such
transaction, or (iv) any other transaction or series of transactions pursuant to, or as a result of, which a single person (or Purchasers) acquires (from the Corporation or directly from the stockholders of the Corporation) capital stock of the
Corporation representing a majority of the Corporation’s outstanding voting power. A sale (or multiple related sales) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation (whether by way or merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or
substantially all assets or securities) which constitutes all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Corporation shall be deemed a Sale of the Corporation. 
 (e) In the event of a Liquidation involving the sale of shares by stockholders of the Corporation or merger, consolidation or similar stock transaction,
the “remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution” shall be deemed to be the aggregate consideration to be paid to all stockholders participating in such Liquidation. In connection with such a Liquidation, the Corporation
shall either (i) cause the definitive transaction document(s) to provide as a condition precedent to the consummation of such Liquidation for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to
the applicable amount payable with respect to such Series A Preferred Shares under this Section 6 (subject to the priorities and limitations set forth herein); or (ii) concurrently with the consummation of such Liquidation, cause
the redemption of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares for an amount in cash equal to the applicable amount payable with respect to such Series A Preferred Shares under this Section 6 (subject to the priorities and limitations set
forth herein). 
 (f) If any or all of the proceeds payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in connection with a Liquidation are in a
form other than cash or marketable securities, the fair market value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the 

  

 -5- 

 
Board (provided that any dispute as to such fair market value shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth for the determination of Fair
Market Value in Section 9(k)). 
 7. Redemption. 
 (a) At any time after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation may demand that all of the Series A Preferred
Shares then outstanding be redeemed or that a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares be redeemed, which portion may in no event be less than twenty percent (20%) of the total Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding (i) out of funds
legally available for that purpose, and (ii) only so long as, and to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the [Credit/Term Loan Agreement] dated [            ], 200_
between [            ] and the Corporation and the other [Borrowers and Guarantors] thereto] and the [Credit/Term Loan Agreement] dated
[            ], 200_ between [            ] and the Corporation and the other [Borrowers and Guarantors]
thereto]1 and any and all notes, and other agreements or
documents entered into connection therewith representing Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined) of the Corporation, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Senior Credit Facility”) for a cash amount per Series A
Preferred Share redeemed on each applicable Redemption Date (the “Redemption Amount”) equal to the Preference Amount of each such applicable Series A Preferred Share; provided, however, that in the event a Redemption
Notice is sent by the Corporation with respect to any Redemption Date on any date that is prior to five (5) years after the Issue Date, the Preference Amount with respect to each applicable Series A Preferred Share redeemed shall be calculated
(including the calculation of accrued and unpaid dividends) assuming the Redemption Date had occurred on the last date of the Dividend Payment Period to occur on, or immediately after, the date that is five (5) years after the Issue Date. Such
right may be exercised by delivery by the Corporation of a notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares. Subject to Section 4.14 of the Share Purchase Agreement, and Section 7(c)
and Section 7(d) hereof, the Corporation shall redeem such applicable Series A Preferred Shares on a date (each a “Redemption Date”) that is not more than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of delivery of an
applicable Redemption Notice. If upon any Redemption Date the Corporation has elected to redeem Series A Preferred Shares that are less than all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, then the Corporation shall redeem such Series A
Preferred Shares pro rata from each holder of Series A Preferred Shares based upon the total Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding and held by each holder of Series A Preferred Shares. 
 (b) At any time on or after a Redemption Date, each holder of record of Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such date shall be entitled to
receive his, her or its Redemption Amount upon actual delivery to the Corporation or its agents of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed. On a Redemption Date, except as set forth in Section 7(e), all
rights in respect of such Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed, except the right to receive the Redemption Amount, shall cease and terminate (unless default shall be made by the Corporation in the payment of the Redemption Amount, in which event
such rights shall be exercisable until such default is cured), and such shares shall no longer be deemed to be 

 1 Parties and terms to be filled in prior to filing with respect to each of the
credit facilities to be entered into pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letters. 

  

 -6- 

 
outstanding, whether or not the certificate or certificates representing such shares have been received by the Corporation. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, in the event the Corporation provides a Redemption Notice and such redemption
(whether directly or as a result of the effect of such redemption on the exercisability of the warrants issued pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement) (i) would result in a holder of Series A Preferred Shares being deemed to have made a
“sale” of equity securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act that would be matched with a “purchase” made by such holder within six (6) months prior to the date of the Redemption Notice or consummation of
such redemption or (ii) is made at a time when such holder of Series A Preferred Shares is subject to the “short-swing” trading restrictions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
then such holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall not be required, in such holder’s sole discretion, to have all or any portion of Series A Preferred Shares redeemed in accordance with this provision until such time as the redemption would
not be “matched” with such a “purchase” or no longer result (directly or indirectly) in “short swing” disgorgement or other penalty pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as applicable. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, in the event the Corporation provides a Redemption Notice and such redemption
would result in a holder of Series A Preferred Shares being required to make filings as required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and/or any other Law concerning competition
matters, then such holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall not be required, in such holder’s sole discretion, to have all or any portion of Series A Preferred Shares redeemed in accordance with this provision until such time as a waiver
or clearance is obtained under the HSR Act and/or any other Law concerning competition matters by the applicable governmental authorities. 
 (e) Upon the occurrence of the events contemplated by Section 7(c), Section 7(d), and/or Section 4.14 of the Share Purchase Agreement the Series A Preferred Shares that have not been redeemed (the
“Delayed Redemption Shares”), shall continue to be deemed to be outstanding and to maintain all rights applicable to such Series A Preferred Shares until validly redeemed hereunder, except, in the case of Section 7(c)
only, with respect to the accrual of dividends solely with respect to such Delayed Redemption Shares (and not with respect to other Series A Preferred Shares held by such Holder), and the Redemption Date shall not be deemed to have occurred with
respect to such Delayed Redemption Shares until actually redeemed pursuant to this Section 7. 
 8. Voting Rights.

 (a) General. In addition to the rights provided by law, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to vote on
all matters as to which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote, in the same manner and with the same effect as such holders of Common Stock, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as one class (including, without limitation, for
purposes of the third sentence of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL). Each Series A Preferred Share shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes as shall equal the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred
Share 

  

 -7- 

 
is then convertible pursuant to Section 9 without taking into account any restrictions on conversion set forth in Section 9(l). The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares and Common Stock, voting together as one class, shall be sufficient to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (but not below the number of
shares at the time outstanding). 
 (b) Covenants. So long as the number of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding equals or exceeds twelve
and one-half percent (12.5%) of the total number of Series A Preferred Shares issued on the Issue Date, the Corporation and all of its current or future subsidiaries shall not, without the affirmative consent or approval of a majority of the
Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding (the “Requisite Holders”): 
 (i) issue, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than, without duplication, (A) (i) Indebtedness that is outstanding on the Issue Date pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility as in effect as of the Issue Date, (ii) up to $30.0 million of
additional Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred after the Issue Date to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility pursuant to any provision of the Senior Credit Facility as in effect as of the Issue Date, or (iii) Indebtedness that
is available to be borrowed under the revolving credit facility portion of the Senior Credit Facility pursuant to any provision of the Senior Credit Facility as in effect as of the Issue Date, (B) without duplication of clause (A),
Indebtedness that is permitted pursuant to any provision of the Senior Credit Facility as in effect on the Issue Date and, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), as such Indebtedness (and or the agreements governing such
Indebtedness) are amended, modified or supplemented after the date hereof excluding amendments, modifications or supplements that permit the incurrence of Indebtedness (i) with respect to the Indebtedness as set forth in clause (A), in
excess of (x) the amount of Indebtedness permitted pursuant to clause (A) minus (y) any permanent repayments, permanent prepayments or permanent commitment reductions made after the Issue Date and (ii) with respect to the
Indebtedness as set forth in clause (B), in excess of the amount of Indebtedness permitted pursuant to clause (B), (C) Indebtedness to be incurred so as to consummate the redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares on the
Redemption Date provided such redemption is for all of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding, and (D) refinancings permitted by clause (ii) below; 
 (ii) refinance any Indebtedness, in whole or in part, other than Indebtedness set forth in clause (i), (x) that is then
funded and outstanding and solely to the extent of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on such Indebtedness and (y) Indebtedness which constitutes undrawn commitments under the revolving credit facility portion of the Senior Credit
Facility and, in each case, the fees, expenses and premiums owing on such Indebtedness as reflected in the Senior Credit Facility in effect on the Issue Date which such Indebtedness may be refinanced in whole or in part; provided,
however, that undrawn commitments under any revolving credit facility may not be refinanced with funded Indebtedness; 
  

 -8- 

 (iii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind, other than Permitted
Liens, on or with respect to any of its assets or properties of any character (including, without limitation, accounts) whether now owned or hereafter acquired; 
 (iv) make any amendments, modifications or supplements to documentation and instruments with respect to Indebtedness (excluding the Senior
Credit Facility and any collateral or ancillary documents entered into in connection therewith); 
 (v) (A) issue or authorize
any options or restricted stock (other than options, restricted stock or other convertible securities (not to exceed 9,650,000 options, restricted stock or convertible securities (no more than 4,825,000 of which may be issued to Persons who are
employees, directors or consultants of the Corporation as of the Issue Date during the first three (3) years after the Issue Date and no more than 2,412,500 of which may be issued to Persons who are employees, directors or consultants of the

(iv) all obligations of such Person under conditional sale or other title retention agreements relating to property or assets purchased by such Person, (v) all obligations of such Person incurred, issued or assumed as the deferred purchase

 “Person” shall be construed in the broadest sense and means and includes a partnership, a corporation, an association, a joint stock company, a limited liability company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated

 9. Optional Conversion. 
 (a) Upon the terms set forth in this Section 9, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right, at such holder’s option,
at any time and from time to time, to convert any such shares into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common 

  

 -12- 

 
Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product of the Preference Amount and the number of Series A Preferred Shares being converted,
by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below), as last adjusted and then in effect, by surrender of the certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted. The initial conversion price per share at which shares of Common
Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares (as adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Price”) shall be the Series A Purchase Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
in accordance with Section 9 below. 
 (b) Any holder of Series A Preferred Shares may exercise the conversion right pursuant to
paragraph (a) above by delivering to the Corporation the certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank or to the Corporation (if required by it), accompanied by written notice stating that the
holder elects to convert such shares and stating the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock are to be issued. Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when such
delivery is made (the “Conversion Date”). As promptly as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder, to the
place designated by such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, and a cash amount in respect of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in
paragraph (c) below. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the applicable Conversion Date unless the transfer books of the
Corporation are closed on that date, in which event such person shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open, but the Conversion Price shall be that in effect on the
Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing shares of the Series A Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order
of the holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of such Series A Preferred Shares representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so
surrendered. Trading Day” means a day on which the Common Stock is trading on a Trading Market. “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the
date in question: the Nasdaq Capital Market, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market or the OTC Bulletin Board. 
 (c) Upon conversion, the Corporation (unless otherwise requested by the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares subject to conversion) will issue fractional shares of its Common Stock, and shall not distribute cash in
lieu of such fractional shares. If requested by the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation
shall pay to the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares being so converted a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the then Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined), of a share of Common Stock
multiplied by such fractional interest. 
 (d) The initial Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares was established based upon the
Corporation’s representation and warranty in the Share Purchase Agreement, that the Series A Preferred Shares (on an as converted basis without taking into 

  

 -13- 

 
account any restrictions on conversion set forth in Section 9(l)) represented no less than 22.2508% of the Corporation’s fully diluted
capital stock as of the date of the Share Purchase Agreement and including as outstanding securities, shares of Common Stock authorized or reserved under the Corporation’s warrants (excluding the warrants issued to purchasers of the Series A
Preferred Shares on the Issue Date), 9,650,000 shares of Common Stock authorized or reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, convertible securities or grants of restricted stock to be issued pursuant to an option or incentive plan
approved by the Board, and treating all outstanding securities of the Corporation that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock, as the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to such
securities at any time on or after the Issue Date, and excluding from this calculation shares that may be issued pursuant to Section 2.13 of the SB Merger Agreement (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement). If such representation and
warranty is determined after the date hereof to be untrue or incorrect, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced (but not increased) by an amount such that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred
Shares issued on the Issue Date was equal to 22.2508% of the Corporation’s capital stock as of the Issue Date (calculated as described in the immediately preceding sentence). 
 (e) In the event (each of the events set forth in (i) and (ii) a “Default”) (i) (x) the Corporation has not filed to
list its Common Stock on Nasdaq’s Global Market or Capital Market or the American Stock Exchange by the date that is fourteen (14) calendar days after the Issue Date or has not so listed its Common Stock by the date that is ninety
(90) calendar days after the Issue Date (as required pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Share Purchase Agreement) and/or (y) the Corporation has not qualified and listed the Series A Preferred Shares for trading in The Portal
Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., to the extent the Series A Preferred Shares are eligible for such qualification and listing, as of the Issue Date (as required pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Share Purchase Agreement); or
(ii) of the occurrence of an Event (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement dated on or about the Issue Date by and among the Corporation and the parties named therein (as may be modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, the
“Registration Rights Agreement”)), then in addition to any other rights or remedies, on each ninety (90) day anniversary of the date of the occurrence of the Default (if the applicable Default shall not have been cured by such
date) until the applicable Default is cured, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price as in effect as of the time of Default up to a maximum total reduction of nine percent (9%) in the aggregate.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9(e) to the contrary, the reduction in the Conversion Price shall, regardless of the number of Defaults, (A) be limited to nine percent (9%) in the aggregate, and (B) shall at no
time be reduced by more than one percent (1%) during any ninety (90) day period. In no event will a holder of Series A Preferred Shares be entitled to receive a cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of the adjustments, rights and
remedies provided in Section 9(e) in respect of any Default with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares so held (and not with respect to other Equity Securities that may be held by such holder). 
 (f) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: 
 (i) If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
issue any 

  

 -14- 

 
Equity Securities (as defined below) other than Excluded Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than either
(i) Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities or (ii) the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to the
issuance of each such security, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith be lowered to a price equal to the lower of either: 
 (A) the quotient obtained by dividing: 
 (1) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision (C) of clause
(ii) below) multiplied by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and (y) the consideration received by the Corporation upon such issuance; by 
 (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to
subdivision (C) of clause (ii) below) immediately after the issuance of such Common Stock; or 
 (B) the product
obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance by the quotient obtained by dividing: 
 (1) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision (C) of clause (ii) below) immediately prior
to such issuance, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance, and (y) the consideration received by the Corporation upon such issuance; by 
 (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to
subdivision (C) of clause (ii) below) immediately after the issuance of such Common Stock multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share of Common Stock immediately prior to such issuance. 
 (ii) For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to clause (i) above, the following provisions shall be
applicable: 
 (A) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of
cash paid therefor without deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions or placement fees payable by the Corporation to any underwriter or placement agent in connection with the issuance and sale thereof. 
  

 -15- 

 (B) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part
other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board (provided that any dispute as to such fair market value shall be resolved in accordance with the
procedures set forth for the determination of Fair Market Value in Section 9(k)), irrespective of any accounting treatment. 
 (C) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities: 
 (1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the
manner provided in subdivisions (A) and (B) above), if any, received or receivable by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock
covered thereby; 
 (2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange
for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued
at the time such securities, options, or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued
interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be
determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (A) and (B) above); 
 (3) on any change in the number of shares
or exercise price of Common Stock deliverable by the Corporation upon exercise of any such options or rights or upon conversions of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to
such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options, rights or securities not converted 

  

 -16- 

 
prior to such change or options or rights related to such securities not converted prior to such change, been made upon the basis of such change; and

 (4) on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
options, rights, securities or options or rights related to such securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities, or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof. 
 In any case in which one of the provisions of this paragraph (f) shall require that adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be made as a result of any one (1) event for which a corresponding
adjustment would be made pursuant to another provision in this paragraph (f), the multiple adjustments shall not be aggregated, and the adjustment that results in the greatest decrease in the Conversion Price shall be the adjustment effected.

 (iii) “Excluded Stock” means (1) up to 9,650,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock
dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations, and related transactions) at any time issuable upon the exercise of options granted to directors, officers, bona fide consultants and employees of the Corporation issued, subject to
Section 8(b)(v) hereof, pursuant to a Board-approved option or incentive plan, (2) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, (3) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
options, warrants or other securities exchangeable or exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock that are outstanding as of the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and disclosed to the holders of the Series
A Preferred Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, (4) shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Section 2.13 of the SB Merger Agreement (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), and (5) shares of
Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Share Purchase Agreement or pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement. “Equity Securities” means all shares of capital stock
of the Corporation, all securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Corporation (including the Blank Check Preferred Shares), and all options, warrants, and other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire from the
Corporation shares of such capital stock, including any stock appreciation or similar rights, contractual or otherwise. For purposes of this Restated Certificate, the “Fair Market Value” as of a particular date shall be determined
as follows: (i) if shares of Common Stock are traded on a securities exchange (including the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Exchange) 

  

 -17- 

 
or through the NASDAQ Global Market or Capital Market or other over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the
closing sales prices of such shares on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the date of determination of the Fair Market Value; or (ii) if no public market exists for the shares of Common Stock,
the Fair Market Value shall (subject to the Holder’s right to dispute such valuation as described in Section 9(k) below) be determined in good faith by the Board. 
 (iv) If, at any time after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock
dividend, subdivision or split-up, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be increased in proportion to such
increase in outstanding shares. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, subdivisions or split-ups. 
 (v) If, at any time after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(including a reverse stock split of the Common Stock), then, following the record date for such combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of
the Series A Preferred Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive combinations or reverse-splits. 
 (vi) Except in connection with a Liquidation, in the event of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the
stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from no par value to par value or from par value to no par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or any consolidation or merger of
the Corporation, each Series A Preferred Share shall after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the
corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger to which such Series A Preferred Share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger had such Series A Preferred Share been
converted immediately prior thereto. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers. 
 (vii) All calculations under this paragraph shall be made to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a cent or the nearest one tenth
(1/10) of a share, as the case may be. 
  

 -18- 

 (viii) In any case in which the provisions of this paragraph (f) shall
require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date of an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of any share of the Series A Preferred Shares converted after
such record date and before the occurrence of such event the shares of capital stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event in addition to the shares of capital stock issuable upon such conversion before
giving effect to such adjustments, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of capital stock pursuant to paragraph (c) above; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to
such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares and such cash. 
 (g) Whenever
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in paragraph (f), the Corporation shall make available for inspection during regular business hours, at its principal executive offices or at such other place as may be designated by the
Corporation, a statement, signed by its chief executive officer, showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment. The Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement
to be sent by nationally recognized overnight carrier or by first class certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, to each holder of the Series A Preferred Shares at such holder’s address appearing on the Corporation’s
records. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of any notice required to be mailed under the provisions of paragraph (h) below. Except pursuant to the provisions of clause (f)(ii)(C)(4)
or clause (f)(v) above, the Conversion Price shall never be increased. 
 (h) If the Corporation shall propose to take any action of
the types described in clauses (iv), (v) or (vi) of paragraph (f) above, the Corporation shall give notice to each holder of the Series A Preferred Shares, in the manner set forth in paragraph (g) above,
which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the
effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the occurrence
of such action or deliverable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 20 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all
other action, such notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action. 
 (i) The Corporation shall reserve, and at all times from and after the date of filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation keep reserved, free
from preemptive or similar rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all
outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. 
  

 -19- 

 (j) Any adjustment to the Conversion Price hereunder shall, for all tax purposes, be treated as an
adjustment to the Series A Purchase Price and not as a deemed exchange of the Series A Preferred Shares. 
 (k) If the Requisite Holders
disagree with the Board’s determination of the Fair Market Value or value of a hypothetical or assumed Liquidation or other valuation matter hereunder, such holders may submit a notice of disagreement to the Corporation. During the three
(3) business days immediately following the Corporation’s receipt of such notice, such holders and the Corporation shall negotiate in good faith to determine a mutually agreeable resolution. If the parties remain unable to reach agreement
after such period, they shall engage one of the “Big 4” accounting firms reasonably acceptable to each such party to resolve such dispute (the “Valuation Firm”). Each of such holders and the Corporation shall provide (at
each’s own expense) the Valuation Firm with copies of any documents, analyses or other information within its possession or control that the Valuation Firm reasonably requests in order to resolve such dispute. The Valuation Firm shall determine
the Fair Market Value or value of a hypothetical or assumed Liquidation or other applicable valuation event, as applicable, as soon as practicable after its engagement to resolve the dispute using customary valuation techniques for other companies
or businesses in the same or similar industries as the Corporation (and shall not apply any discount due to the fact that the Preferred Stock or Common Stock may constitute “restricted securities”, may be illiquid or represent a minority
interest in the Corporation). The Valuation’s Firm’s determination shall be binding, and not subject to challenge or collateral attack for any reason. The Corporation shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm in
connection with its engagement to resolve such dispute (the “Valuation Cost”); provided, however, that if the Valuation Firm’s determination of the Fair Market Value is in excess of 50% lower than said
holders’ proposed Fair Market Value, then the fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be shared (with respect to the Requisite Holders, pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership percentages) in the same proportion that
the Corporation’s position, on the one hand, and the holders’ position, on the other hand, initially presented to the Valuation Firm (based on the aggregate of all differences taken as a whole) bear to the final resolution as determined by
the Valuation Firm. 
 (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except with respect to Section 10 hereof, each holder
of Series A Preferred Shares that has elected to be subject to this provision pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement may not convert, and the Corporation shall not issue any Common Stock upon any attempted conversion of, any Series A Preferred
Shares into Common Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person’s Affiliates), would have acquired, through conversion of Series A Preferred Shares or
otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by a Person and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, and
shall include additional shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of Series A Preferred Shares after the Issue Date, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, Series
A Preferred Shares subject to a limitation on conversion as set forth herein beneficially owned by such Person or any 

  

 -20- 

 
of its Affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation beneficially owned
by such Person or any of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this Section 9(l), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 9(l), in determining the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent
public announcement by the Corporation, or (3) any other notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of
any holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm orally and in writing to any such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series A Preferred Shares, by such holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this Section 9(l) may be either (i) decreased or increased at any time by such holder of Series A Preferred Shares at the election of such holder to apply at any
percentage between 4.99% and 9.99% instead of 9.99% or (ii) waived in whole or in part permanently or temporarily at any time by such holder of Series A Preferred Shares at the election of such holder, in the case of clauses (i) or
(ii) upon not less than 65 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of this Section 9(l) shall not be modified or waived until such 65th day (or such later date, as determined by such holder, as may be
specified in such notice of modification or waiver). 
 10. Mandatory Conversion. 
 (a) Upon the first to occur of (i) the election by the Requisite Holders to cause the conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Shares or a
portion of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding (which portion may in no event be less than 20% of the total Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding), or (ii) the election (each such election, a “Forced Conversion
Right”) by the Corporation upon the occurrence of a Forced Conversion Event to force the conversion of all of the Series A Preferred Shares or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding (which portion may in no event be
less than 20% of the total Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding), each Series A Preferred Share then outstanding and requested to be converted by the Corporation as a result of such Forced Conversion Right or requested to be converted by the
Requisite Investors, shall, by virtue of and simultaneously with such election, be deemed automatically converted into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock which would be issuable in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 9; provided, however, that in the event the Corporation exercises a Forced Conversion Right on a date that is prior to to three (3) years after the Issue Date, the Preference Amount shall be calculated
(including the calculation of accrued and unpaid dividends) assuming the conversion had occurred with respect to such Series A Preferred Shares on the last date of the Dividend Payment Period to occur on or after the date that is three
(3) years after the Issue Date; provided, further, however, that the Corporation may not elect to exercise its Forced Conversion Right unless, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a
registration 

  

 -21- 

 
statement registering the sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares is declared effective under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, prior to the date the Corporation elects its Forced Conversion Right and such registration statement remains effective on the date upon which such conversion shall occur. “Forced Conversion
Event” shall mean, with respect to the exercise of each Forced Conversion Right, the date that (i) the last sales price of the Common Stock has been (A) at least $11.50 per share (if the date of the Forced Conversion Event is
prior to the date that is three (3) years after the Issue Date) or (B) at least $12.50 per share (if the date of the Forced Conversion Event is subsequent to the date that is three (3) years after the Issue Date), on each of twenty
(20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the Corporation has provided notice of its election to force the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares (in each
case as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and related transactions with respect to such shares) and (ii) and the Corporation has also elected to redeem all of the warrants outstanding pursuant to the
Public Warrant Agreement. For the sake of clarity, in the event the Corporation elects to force the conversion of less than all of the Series A Preferred Shares upon the occurrence of a Forced Conversion Event, the Corporation shall only be
permitted to convert Series A Preferred Shares that remain outstanding thereafter upon the occurrence of a subsequent Forced Conversion Event. 
 (b) As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 10(a) to occur and the delivery to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for the Series A Preferred Shares which
have been converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank to the Corporation (if required by it), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of each holder of Series A Preferred Shares, to the place designated by such holder,
a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, and a cash amount in respect of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in Section 9(c) above. The
person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the date of such occurrence and on such date the Series A Preferred Shares shall cease to be
outstanding, whether or not the certificates representing such shares have been received by the Corporation. 
 (c) If the Corporation elects
to exercise its Forced Conversion Right with respect to less than all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted shall be converted pro rata by each holder of Series A Preferred Shares
based upon the total Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding and held by each holder of Series A Preferred Shares. 
 (d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, in the event the exercise of a Forced Conversion Right by the Corporation and the conversion in connection therewith would result in a holder of Series A Preferred Shares being required to
make filings as required by the HSR Act and/or any other Law concerning competition matters, then such holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall not be required to convert such Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with this provision until such
time as a waiver or clearance is obtained under the HSR Act and/or any other Law concerning competition matters by the applicable governmental authorities. The Series A Preferred Shares that have not been converted 

  

 -22- 

 
shall continue to be deemed to be outstanding and to accrue dividends and maintain all other rights applicable to such Series A Preferred Shares until
validly converted hereunder. 
 ARTICLE V. 
 Section 1. Number of Directors. The members of the governing board of the Corporation are styled as directors. The board of directors of the Corporation shall be elected in such manner as shall be provided
in the Bylaws of the Corporation. The number of directors shall be not less than two (2) nor more than ten (10). The number of directors may be changed from time to time within this range in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws of the
Corporation. 
 Section 2. Initial Directors. The initial Board of Directors of this Corporation shall consist of seven
(7) members, but the number may be increased or decreased in the manner provided in the Bylaws of this Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws of this Corporation, or except as otherwise provided for or
fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors
shall not be changed without the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 and 2/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including the Series A Preferred Stock on an as converted basis as provided for in
Section 8 of Article IV). As used in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the term “entire board” means the total number of directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies or unfilled newly
created directorships. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot except and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation. The names and addresses of the persons who are to serve as the initial directors of the Corporation upon
the filing of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation are:

 Section 3. Removal and Filling of Newly Created Directorships. Any one or more
directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including the Series A Preferred Shares on an as
converted basis as provided for in Section 8 of Article IV) that are present or represented at a special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting together as a single class. At the same meeting at which the
stockholders remove one or more directors, a successor or successors may be elected for the unexpired term of the director or directors removed. Except as set forth in this Article V (3), directors shall not be subject to removal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect directors of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions contained in the resolution or resolutions of the Board
providing for the establishment of any such series, any such director of the Corporation so elected may be removed only in accordance with the provisions of such resolution or resolutions. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to
the provisions of Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be
filled by the Board by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, or by the stockholders holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including the Series
A Preferred Shares on an as converted basis as provided for in Section 8 of Article IV) that are present or represented at a special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting together as a single class. 

Section 4. Election and Vacancies. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, and each director elected shall hold
office until such director’s successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to earlier death, resignation or removal from office. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause shall be filled by the Board by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director, or by the stockholders holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including the Series A Preferred Shares on an as converted basis as provided for in Section 8 of Article IV) that are present or represented at a special meeting of stockholders called for such
purpose, voting together as a single class. 
 Section 5. Advance Notice of Nominations. Subject to Article X of this
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, advance notice of nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation. 
 Section 6. Payment of Expenses. In addition to any other rights of indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, including
the DGCL, or as may be provided for by the Corporation in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws or by agreement, the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, involving
alleged acts or omissions of such officer or director in his or her capacity 

  

 -24- 

 
as an officer or director of the Corporation, must be paid, by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through
other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it
is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. 
 Section 7. Classification of Directors. The Board of Directors shall divide itself into three (3) classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with respect to the time for which the directors shall severally hold office.
Directors of the first class first chosen shall initially hold office for one (1) year or until the first annual election following their election; directors of the second class first chosen shall initially hold office for two (2) years or
until the second annual election following their election; and directors of the third class first chosen shall initially hold office for three (3) years or until the third annual election following their election; and, in each case, until their
successors to the class of directors whose term shall expire at that time shall be elected to hold office for a term of three (3) years, so that the term of office of one class of directors shall expire in each year. Each director elected shall
hold office until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify. 
 ARTICLE VI. 
 For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the
powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders, it is further provided: 
 (a) In furtherance and not in limitation of the
powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board is expressly authorized and empowered: 
 (i) to adopt,
alter, amend or repeal the By-laws in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation by a vote of at least two-thirds of all directors who constitute the Board of Directors, except as
and to the extent provided in the Bylaws. 
 (ii) to determine whether any, and if any, what part, of the net profits of the
Corporation or of its surplus shall be declared in dividends and paid to the stockholders, and to direct and determine the use and disposition of any such net profits or such surplus; and 
 (iii) to fix from time to time the amount of net profits of the Corporation or of its surplus to be reserved as working capital or for
any other lawful purpose. 
 In addition to the powers and authorities herein or by statute expressly conferred upon it, the Board may
exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware, of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and of the By-laws
of the Corporation. 
  

 -25- 

 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of this Corporation
(and notwithstanding that some lesser percentage may be specified by law), no provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation shall be amended, modified or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation, nor shall any provision of the Bylaws of the
Corporation inconsistent with any such provision be adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation, unless approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
(including the Series A Preferred Shares on an as converted basis as provided for in Section 8 of Article IV). Any purported amendment to the Bylaws which would add thereto a matter not expressly covered in the Bylaws prior to
such purported amendment shall be deemed to constitute the adoption of a Bylaw provision and not an amendment to the Bylaws. 
 ARTICLE
VII. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation or any provision
of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or as
provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote (or consent under Article
X, if such consent is then permitted) of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together
as a single class, shall be required for the modification, amendment or repeal of all or any portion of Articles IV, V, VI, this Article VII, Articles VIII, IX, or X of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 
 ARTICLE VIII. 
 Any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, incorporator, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan), shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation to the full extent then permitted by the DGCL as it exists or as it may hereafter be amended against
expenses (including counsel and expert witness fees and disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement incurred by him or her in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Article VIII. Such right of indemnification shall continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person. The indemnification provided by this Article VIII shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided now or in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, by any agreement, 

  

 -26- 

 
by vote of stockholders, by resolution of disinterested directors, by provision of law or otherwise. 
 ARTICLE IX. 
 No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation
or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this provision does not eliminate the liability of the director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. For purposes of the prior sentence, the term “damages” shall, to the extent permitted by law, include, without limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in
settlement, penalty, punitive damages, excise or other tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense of any nature (including, without limitation, counsel and expert witness fees and disbursements). Each person who serves as a
director of the Corporation while this Article IX is in effect shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance on the provisions of this Article IX, and neither the amendment or repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any
provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article IX, shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or the Corporation for, arising out of, based upon or in
connection with any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision. The provisions of this Article IX are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of any and
all other limitations on or eliminations of the liabilities of directors of the Corporation, as such, whether such limitations or eliminations arise under or are created by any law, rule, regulation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended, without any further amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. 
 ARTICLE X. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of this
Corporation, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary specified by law, no action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of this Corporation may be taken without such a meeting, and the power of
stockholders of this Corporation to consent in writing to the taking of such action without a meeting, as contemplated by Section 228 of the DGCL, is hereby specifically denied; provided, however, an action of the holders of
Series A Preferred Shares as a class may be taken without such a meeting, and the power of stockholders of this Corporation holding Series A Preferred Shares to consent in writing to the taking of such action without a meeting, as contemplated by
Section 228 of the DGCL, is hereby permitted. 
 The Corporation hereby elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

Shareholders’ Representative. The date and time of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” 
 2.3
Filing of Certificate of Merger. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company and the Merger Subsidiary shall as soon as possible on the Closing Date or such other date as Parent and Shareholders’ Representative shall
agree, cause the merger to be consummated by filing with the Delaware Division of Corporations a duly executed Certificate of Merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”). 
 2.4 Effect of Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided herein and the applicable provisions of the
DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Merger Subsidiary shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all of the debts, liabilities, duties and
obligations of the Company and the Merger Subsidiary shall become the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation. 
 2.5 Effect on Stock. Upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and this Agreement and without the need for any further action on the part of the Merger Subsidiary, the
Company or any of their respective shareholders, the following shall occur: 
 (a) Conversion of Company Stock.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, by action of the board of directors of the Company, each share of Class L Common Stock shall be converted into shares of Class A-1 Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. At the Effective Time, each share of the stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, after giving effect to the conversion described in the preceding sentence, shall be
automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Per Share Cash Consideration. Until properly delivered to Parent or the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.9, any

 9 

 (b) Conversion of Merger Subsidiary Stock. Each share of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) share of the validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable authorized Class A-1 Common Stock of the

calculation of Adjusted Cash, the amount of the Bonus Payments and the calculation of Cash Consideration by the Shareholders’ Representative. 
 (b) Objection. In the event Parent objects to any matter in the calculation of Adjusted Cash, the Bonus Payments or Cash Consideration, Parent shall notify the Shareholders’ Representative of its objection
at least one (1) day prior to Closing specifying the grounds for its objection in reasonable detail. Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative shall meet in a good faith attempt to resolve any objections. In the event Parent and the

Section 8.5 hereof and the escrowed funds shall be distributed pursuant to the arbitrator’s decision. 
 (c)
Parent’s Closing Deliveries. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent shall deliver: 
 (i) the portion of Cash Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 2.9 to the Shareholders or the Paying Agent, as applicable (subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 2.8(b) hereof);

 (ii) to the recipients of the Bonus Payments, the portion of the Bonus Payments which by the terms of the agreements giving
rise to such Bonus Payments are to be paid to such recipients contemporaneously with the Closing; 
 (iii) to an escrow agent
mutually acceptable to the Shareholders’ Representative, Parent and the recipients of the Bonus Payments, the amount of the Bonus Payments (as calculated pursuant to Section 2.8(a)) not due and payable at Closing. All interest
earned on such escrowed amounts shall inure to the benefit of and be paid to Parent and Parent shall be solely liable for any Taxes that arise from such interest. If there is a dispute regarding the amount of the Bonus Payments the reasonably
expected highest proposed amount of Bonus Payments not due and payable at the Closing shall be deposited into escrow to be disbursed pursuant to Section 2.8(e) hereof; and 
 (iv) all other items required to be delivered by Parent at Closing as specified in Section 3.1 hereof.

as calculated pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be distributed to Shareholders entitled thereto pro rata in accordance with their relative ownership percentage of the Company pre-Closing, (b) the amount of the Bonus Payments due and
payable after the Closing as calculated pursuant to this Section 2.8(e)(i) shall be distributed to recipients of the Bonus Payments as and when payable in accordance with the agreements pursuant to which such Bonus Payments are payable,

completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and all Certificates representing shares of the Company Stock owned by said

 12 

 (b) Payment of Per Share Cash Consideration at Closing. At the Closing, but
immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, to each Shareholder who has (i) delivered to Parent a Letter of Transmittal at or
prior to Closing and all of the representations and warranties contained in the Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal are true and correct as of the Closing Date as if made as of the Closing Date, (ii) surrendered Certificates representing
all shares of Company Stock held by such Shareholder at the Closing and (iii) provided Parent with wire transfer instructions no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing, an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration
multiplied by the number of shares of Company Stock represented by the Certificates surrendered by said Shareholder at Closing. Upon surrender of a Certificate at the Closing for cancellation and payment pursuant to this Section 2.9(b),
such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. 
 (c) Deposit of Cash Consideration with Paying Agent. On the Closing
Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit the Cash Consideration not paid to Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.9(b) with the Paying Agent, for exchange in accordance with Section 2.9(d).
Payments of such portion of the Cash Consideration shall be made by the Paying Agent to the Shareholders only against delivery of a Certificate, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the
instructions thereto, as hereinafter provided. 
 (d) Post-Closing Exchange Procedures. 
 (i) On the first business day after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail a Letter of Transmittal to each
record holder of Certificates not delivered at the Closing. 
 (ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the
Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be
required by the Paying Agent or such other agents, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and the Certificate so surrendered
shall be canceled. 
 (e) Remaining Funds. At any time following six (6) months after the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of
Certificates pursuant to Section 2.9(d). Thereafter such holders shall be entitled solely to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as a general creditor thereof with respect
to the 

  

 13 

 
portion of the Cash Consideration payable upon surrender of their Certificates, without any interest thereon. Neither the Surviving Corporation nor the
Paying Agent shall be liable to any Shareholder in respect of such Shareholder’s portion of the Cash Consideration that is delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
Law. 
 (f) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Securities. The portion of the Cash Consideration paid upon the
surrender for exchange of shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock, and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the records of the Company of shares of Company Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be
canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.9.

Agent shall invest any cash paid to it by Parent or Surviving Corporation, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. 
 (h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall cause
the Paying Agent to pay the Per Share Cash Consideration applicable to such shares in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making and delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in a form reasonably
acceptable to Parent and if required by Parent: (i) in the case of a Shareholder that is an individual, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate or (ii) in the case of a Shareholder that is not an individual and is financially capable of satisfying any post-closing indemnity claims, an agreement to indemnify against
any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate. 
 2.10 Withholding. Each
of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to withhold, or cause the Paying Agent to withhold, from any consideration payable or deliverable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to any Shareholder, such amounts as may be required
to be withheld pursuant to any Law, including, without limitation, any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Code. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having
been paid to the Shareholder to whom such amounts would have otherwise been paid. 
 2.11 Allocation of Amounts Paid By Parent.
Payment of all amounts paid by Parent to the Shareholders’ Representative or the Paying Agent hereunder shall constitute payment and delivery to each of the Shareholders in satisfaction of all obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation
to pay and deliver such amounts hereunder. 
  

 14 

 2.12 Physical Inventory. Parent may, on the Closing Date or such other date or dates prior
to Closing as shall be mutually agreeable to Shareholders’ Representative and Parent, conduct a physical inventory of the Inventory, including any Inventory that is not located at the Leased Real Property. Any physical inventory shall be

 2.13
Optional Merger Consideration. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this
Agreement, TSG4 L.P., in its individual capacity as a Shareholder (“TSG4”) and Parent agree that in the event any of Parent’s current shareholders vote against the merger and elect to have their Boulder Common Stock converted into
cash in accordance with Article XII of Parent’s Certificate of Incorporation (“Boulder Certificate”), Parent, at its option, may elect to pay up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in Cash Consideration otherwise payable to
TSG4 in newly issued Parent common stock (“Parent Common Stock”), in lieu of cash. The total amount of Parent Common Stock which Parent shall have the option to issue to TSG4 shall be equal to the number of shares calculated by dividing
(A) the lesser of: (i) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000); and (ii) the aggregate per share conversion price as calculated pursuant to Article XII of the Boulder Certificate for all IPO Shares (as defined in the Boulder Certificate)
which are timely and duly converted pursuant to Article XII of the Boulder Certificate (such lesser amount, the “Conversion Amount”) by (B) the common stock price per share to be paid by the purchasers of Parent Common Stock as
finally determined pursuant to the PIPE Securities Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H. Parent’s option hereunder shall apply to the first Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of any IPO Shares converted pursuant to the Boulder
Certificate. Parent agrees that any shares issued to TSG4 pursuant hereto shall be subject to the same demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights consistent with the registration rights granted to the purchasers of Parent Common
Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to be executed at the Closing by the purchasers of Parent Common Stock (including TSG4) pursuant to the PIPE Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Nothing
in this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to alter or amend any other Shareholders’ (other than TSG4’s) right to receive in cash the Cash Consideration they may be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement. If Parent exercises its
election under this Section 2.13, Parent shall deliver, at Closing, to TSG4 (x) stock certificates for TSG4 representing the Parent Common Stock deliverable pursuant to this Section 2.13 which certificates shall bear
appropriate restrictive legends, and (y) the Registration Rights Agreement which is attached as an exhibit to the Securities Purchase Agreement, executed by Parent. 
 (b) TSG4 represents to the Parent as follows: 
 (i) TSG4 is acquiring the Parent Common Stock for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, nor
with any present intention of distributing the same. 
 (ii) TSG4 understands that the Parent Common Stock that may be issued
under this Section 2.13 has not been, and will not be, registered under the 

  

 15 

 
Securities Act, by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that they must be held
indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration. 
 (iii) TSG4 understands that the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to TSG4) promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various conditions and that, if applicable,
Rule 144 may only afford the basis for sales under certain circumstances and only in limited amounts. 
 (iv) TSG4 has had a
reasonable time prior to the date hereof to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Parent Common Stock, and to obtain any additional information which the Parent possesses or could acquire
without unreasonable effort or expense, and has generally such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters and with respect to investments in securities as to enable TSG4 to understand and evaluate the risks of such investment and
form an investment decision with respect thereto. 
 (v) TSG4 is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined
in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. 
 (vi) TSG4 represents that from the date it was approached to participate in the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and continuing through the Effectiveness Date (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), neither it nor, to its knowledge, its controlled subsidiaries have engaged in any purchases or
sales with respect to, or made any Short Sales of, or granted any option for the purchase of or entered into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a Short Sale of the Boulder Common Stock or Boulder Warrants, in each
case, in violation of applicable Laws that would have adverse consequences to the Parent. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Short Sale” by TSG4 means a sale of Boulder Common Stock or Boulder Warrants that is marked as a short sale and
that is executed at a time when TSG4 has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Boulder Common Stock or Boulder Warrants, exclusive of the Parent Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of determining whether
TSG4 has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Boulder Common Stock or Boulder Warrants, all Parent Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise in full of all options, convertible Parent Common Stock, swaps, synthetic Parent Common
Stock and other derivative Parent Common Stock then held by TSG4 (assuming that such options, convertible Parent Common Stock, swaps, synthetic Parent Common Stock or other derivative Parent Common Stock were then fully exercisable, notwithstanding
any provisions to the contrary, and giving effect to any applicable exercise price adjustments scheduled to take effect in the future) shall be deemed to be held long by TSG4. 
  

 16 

 (c) Parent represents to the TSG4 as follows: 
 (i) All of the shares of Parent Common Stock being delivered to the TSG4 pursuant to this Section 2.13 have been duly
authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and none were issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any Person. 
 (d) The transfer restrictions are set forth as follows: 
 (i) Parent and TSG4 expressly
acknowledge that the Parent Common Stock may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Parent Common Stock other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including pursuant to Section 4(2), Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption, to the Parent or to an Affiliate of TSG4 or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in
Section 2.13(d)(ii), the Parent may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Parent an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Parent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Parent Common Stock under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be
bound by the terms of Section 2.13 of this Agreement and shall have the rights of TSG4 under Section 2.13 of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. 
 (ii) TSG4 agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 2.13(d) of a legend on any of the Parent Common
Stock in the following form: 
 THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN
WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 (b) by Parent providing written
notice to the Company at any time prior to the Closing in the event (i) the Company is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, (ii) Parent has notified the Company of the
breach and such breach has continued without cure for a period of 30 days after delivery of such notice of breach, and (iii) there is a reasonable likelihood that such breach will result in an inability of the Company to satisfy the conditions
set forth in Sections 3.2(a) or 3.2(b); 
 (c) by Parent, if it (i) has any objection to the June 30 Financial
Statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(f) hereof due to material and adverse changes, discrepancies or differences from the previously provided unaudited consolidated income statement of the Company and GFA Brands for the six
(6) month period ending 
  

 50 

 
June 30, 2006 (it being understood that a decline in EBITDA of up to five percent as compared to the previously delivered estimates shall not be deemed
material and adverse) or (ii) has any objection to the EBITDA or gross sales numbers contained in the June 30, 2006 unaudited statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(f) hereof due to material and adverse changes,
discrepancies or differences from the EBITDA and gross sales numbers contained in the previously provided six-month estimates (it being understood that a decline in EBITDA of up to 5% as compared to such estimates shall not be deemed material and
adverse); provided, however, that Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall lapse and expire with respect to Section 7.1(c)(i) in the event Parent does not object
within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the June 30 Financial Statements and with respect to Section 7.1(c)(ii) in the event Parent does not object within ten (10) days of its receipt of the June 30, 2006

Shareholders’ Representative if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated by February 16, 2007; provided, however, that a party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
subsection (d) if that party’s breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby at or prior to such time; 
 (e) by the Company if Parent has not filed the Proxy Statement with the SEC within ten (10) days of receiving all of the Financial
Statements other than the June 30 Financial Statements; 
 (f) by the Company if the Proxy Statement has not been sent to
the holders of Parent Stock by January 10, 2007, provided, however, in the event final SEC approval of the Proxy Statement has not been received by January 5, 2007, the parties agree to meet and to discuss in good faith as to whether it is
reasonable and practicable to expect SEC approval within a reasonable period of time, and in the event the parties agree that such approval is reasonably likely within a reasonable period of time, the parties may, but neither party shall be
obligated to, agree upon a new termination date; 
 (g) by the Company if (i) Bank of America, N.A. and Banc of America
Securities LLC indicates they are unwilling to fund the Debt Financing in accordance with the Commitment Letter, if any of the conditions of the Commitment Letter become incapable of being satisfied or if Bank of America, N.A. and Banc of America
Securities LLC otherwise breaches their commitment under the Commitment Letter or (ii) any investor in the PIPE Transaction indicates it is unwilling to fund in accordance with their Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the conditions of any
such Securities Purchase Agreements become incapable of being satisfied or any PIPE Transaction investor breaches its commitment under its Securities Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may only terminate this
Agreement under this Section 7.1(g) if Parent has not obtained substitute financing pursuant to Section 4.12 within fifteen (15) business days of the Company’s notice of termination; 
  

 51 

 (h) by the Parent, if consents in writing setting forth the adoption of this Agreement

 Any dispute between the parties with respect to any party’s right to terminate this Agreement
shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8.5. 
 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement as provided in Section 7.1 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation hereunder on the part of any of the Company or Parent, except that, in the event of an intentional or
willful breach of this Agreement prior to the time of such termination, the other parties hereto shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of the covenants contained herein. 
 7.3 Waiver of Right to Terminate. Parent shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement upon consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver of any other rights arising from the non-fulfillment of any condition precedent set forth in Article III hereof or any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty,
covenant or agreement contained herein unless such waiver is made in writing and then any such written waiver shall only constitute a waiver of the specific matters set forth therein. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS; COVENANTS AFTER CLOSING

 8.1 No Indemnification. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall expire at the Closing.
From and after the Closing, no party hereto shall have any remedy with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties or pre-Closing covenants contained in this Agreement or otherwise arising out of or related to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby (other than claims for fraud) and each party hereto hereby waives to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law any and all such claims, whether or not known at the Closing. 
 8.2 Mutual Assistance. Subsequent to the Closing, each of the parties hereto, at their own cost, will assist each other (including by the
retention of records and the provision of access to relevant records) in the preparation of their respective Tax Returns and the filing and execution of Tax elections, if required, as well as in the defense of any audits or litigation that may ensue
as a result of the filing thereof, to the extent that such assistance is reasonably requested. 
  

 52 

 8.3 Confidentiality. The Company shall require each Shareholder to agree that, for the
period of two (2) years from and after the Closing Date, it shall hold in strict confidence and will keep confidential all information regarding the Company, GFA Brands and the Business and will not use or disclose any such information to any
Person except: (a) with the prior written consent of Parent and the Shareholder Representative; (b) to the extent that such disclosure is required by Law (provided that the disclosing party agrees to give to Parent prompt notice thereof so
that Parent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy in connection therewith); (c) to the extent that such information can be shown to be generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Shareholders
or their representatives or employees; or (d) that each Shareholder and its or his representatives may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment, tax strategies and tax structure of the transaction and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Shareholder and its or his representatives relating to such tax treatment, tax strategies and tax structure. 
 8.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall be solely responsible for and shall bear
all of its own costs and expenses incident to its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any such costs and expenses incurred by any party hereto in connection with
the negotiation, preparation and performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants, investment bankers or other representatives and consultants),
regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, it being understood and agreed that the Shareholders shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company or GFA Brands in connection with this transaction prior
to Closing, or, if not paid, the Cash Consideration to be paid at Closing shall be reduced by (a) the amount of such costs, fees and expenses and (b) if requested by the Shareholders Representative, a reasonable estimate of such costs,
fees and expenses to be incurred post-Closing (to be held by the Shareholder Representative and disbursed as Cash Consideration to the extent such reserved amount exceeds the actual costs, fees and expenses). 
 8.5 Disputes; Arbitration Procedure.

business executives of Parent and Shareholders’ Representative with authority to resolve the controversy. 
 (b) Any
dispute, claim or controversy (other than claims for equitable relief or rescission of this Agreement) that cannot be resolved by the parties hereto through good faith negotiations within thirty (30) days of notification to the counter-party of
the commencement of the dispute resolution procedures of this Section 8.5 will then, upon the written request of any party hereto, be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the then effective Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a sole arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be mutually agreeable to the parties. If the parties cannot mutually agree upon the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance
with the rules of the then effective 

  

 53 

 
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. To the extent not governed by such rules, such arbitrator shall be directed by the
parties to set a schedule for determination of such dispute, claim or controversy that is reasonable under the circumstances. Such arbitrator shall be directed by the parties to determine the dispute in accordance with this Agreement and the
substantive rules of law (but not the rules of procedure or evidence) that would be applied by a federal court required to apply the internal law (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Delaware. The arbitration will be conducted in Chicago,
Illinois. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. 
 (c) Nothing
contained in this Section 8.5 shall prevent any party hereto from resorting to judicial process if injunctive or other equitable relief from a court is necessary to prevent injury to such party or its Affiliates. The use of arbitration
procedures will not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely the rights of any party hereto to assert any claim or defense. 
 8.6 Further Transfers. Each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such additional action as any other party hereto may
reasonably request to effect or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Each such party shall, on or prior to the Closing, use its best efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the execution and delivery of any documents, certificates, instruments or other papers that are reasonably required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 8.7 Transfer Taxes; Recording Charges. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp,
registration and other such similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall
be paid by the party incurring such Taxes when due, and each party will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law. 

8.8 Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative is hereby designated to serve as the representative of the
Shareholders with respect to all of the matters contemplated by this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative will act as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for each Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement, including full power and
authority on such Shareholder’s behalf (a) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (b) to pay, and be entitled to reimbursement by the Shareholders for, such Shareholder’s expenses (whether incurred on or after the
date hereof) incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance of this Agreement, (c) to disburse any funds received hereunder to such Shareholder, (d) to execute and deliver any certificates representing the Company’s
capital stock and execution of such further instruments as Parent shall reasonably request, (e) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Shareholder any amendment or waiver hereto, (f) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf
of such Shareholder in connection herewith, (g) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle all claims pursuant hereto and (h) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Shareholder is, or the 

  

 54 

 
Shareholders collectively are, permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement. Neither the Shareholders’ Representative nor any agent
employed by it shall incur any liability to any Shareholder relating to the performance of its duties hereunder except for actions or omissions constituting fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct. Parent shall be entitled to rely on the delegation
of authority contained in this Section 8.8. 
 8.9 Employees. 
 (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Merger, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide that Company employees
with base compensation and bonus (except for sale bonuses, stock option plans and similar type plans) or commission opportunity that is the same as or greater than the amount paid or payable to such employees prior to the Effective Time, provided
such employee does not voluntarily reduce his/her hours or job duties or responsibilities and such employees shall, be covered under benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements (“Parent Plans”) that are in the aggregate no
less favorable than that provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. Years of service with the Company and its subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with the Surviving Corporation or Parent for eligibility and
vesting purposes and for purposes of vacation and severance pay accruals, except to the extent such treatment will result in a duplication of benefits. 
 (b) For one year following the Merger, in the event Parent determines to change its medical or dental benefit plans or to utilize a different indemnity carrier, Parent shall use its best efforts to obtain a waiver as
to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the employees of the Company as of the date of the Closing for any such new medical or dental benefit plans that such
employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than limitations, exclusions or waiting periods that are in effect as of the date hereof or on the Closing Date with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied
as of the Effective Time under any medical or dental plan maintained for such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company. 
 ARTICLE IX  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1 Waiver of Claims to Trust Account. The Company acknowledges and understands, and each of the Shareholders in each of their respective
Letters of Transmittal acknowledges and understands, that Parent is a special purpose acquisition corporation with no formal operations and that the proceeds of the offering of shares of its stock have been designated for completing a business
combination with one or more target businesses and that if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated by Parent by June 16, 2007, Parent will be obligated to return to its shareholders the amounts being held in the
Trust Fund. Accordingly, the sole remedy for any claim by the Company or any of the Shareholders against Parent or the Merger Subsidiary for any monetary claims or otherwise, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, breaches of this
Agreement by Parent or the Merger Subsidiary or any negotiations, agreements or understandings in connection herewith, shall be 

  

 55 

 
limited to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. The Company hereby waives, and each of the Shareholders in each of
their respective Letters of Transmittal waives, any and all right, title, interest and claim of any kind it may have in or to any moneys in the Trust Fund. 
 9.2 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by Parent, the Merger Subsidiary, the Company and the Shareholders’
Representative (on behalf of the Shareholders). No course of dealing between or among any Persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of
any Person under or by reason of this Agreement. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provisions, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

application to receive a taxpayer identification number to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Center or Social Security Administration Office, or (2) I intend to mail or deliver an application in the near future. I understand that if I do

 Guidelines for
Determining the Proper Identification Number to Give the Payer. Social Security numbers have nine digits separated by two hyphens: i.e., 000-00-0000. Employer identification numbers have nine digits separated by only one hyphen: i.e.,
00-0000000. The table below will help determine the number to give the payer.

 Obtaining a Number 
 If you do not have a taxpayer identification
number, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, obtain Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.socialsecurity.gov/online/ss-5.pdf. You may also
get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN
online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses/ and clicking on Employer ID Numbers under Related Topics. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676). 

To complete the Substitute Form W-9 if you do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN, complete the Certificate of Awaiting
Taxpayer Identification Number, sign and date the form and return it to the Exchange Agent. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and
give it to the Exchange Agent before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60 day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until provide your TIN to the Exchange
Agent. 
 Note: Writing “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. 
 Payees Exempt From Backup Withholding 
 Payees specifically exempted from backup withholding on ALL payments include the following: 
  

	 	•	 	An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), an individual retirement account, or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account satisfies the requirements of
section 401(f)(2). 

  

	 	•	 	The United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof. 

  

	 	•	 	A State, the District of Columbia, a possession of the United States or any political subdivision or agency or instrumentality thereof. 

  

	 	•	 	A foreign government, a political subdivision of a foreign government, or any agency or instrumentality thereof. 

  

	 	•	 	An international organization or any agency or instrumentality thereof. 

 Payees specifically exempted from backup withholding on interest and dividend payments include the following: 
  

	 	•	 	A corporation. 

  

	 	•	 	A financial institution. 

  

	 	•	 	A dealer in securities or commodities required to register in the U.S., the District of Columbia, or a possession of the U.S. 

  

	 	•	 	A real estate investment trust. 

  

	 	•	 	A common trust fund operated by a bank under section 584(a). 

  

	 	•	 	An exempt charitable remainder trust or a non-exempt trust described in section 4947.

 Exempt payees described above should file the Substitute Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. FILE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 WITH THE PAYER. FURNISH YOUR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. CHECK THE BOX MARKED
“EXEMPT” IN PART II OF THE FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE PAYER. 
 Certain payments other than dividends that are not subject to information reporting
are also not subject to backup withholding. For details, see sections 6041, 6041A(a), 6045, 6050A, 6050N and their regulations. 
 Privacy Act
Notice.—Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest or other payments to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments to the IRS. The IRS uses the number for identification purposes and to help
verify the accuracy of tax returns. The IRS also may provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws. Payers must be given the
numbers whether or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold 28% of taxable interest, dividends and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain
penalties may also apply. 
 Penalties 
  

	(1)	Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number.—If you fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50
for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. 

  

	(2)	Civil Penalty for False Information With Respect to Withholding.—If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup
withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500. 

	(3)	Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information.—Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or
imprisonment. 

  

	(4)	Misuse of Taxpayer Identification Numbers.—If the requester discloses or uses taxpayer identification numbers in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject
to civil and criminal penalties.

 To comply with IRS Circular 230, you are hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of federal tax issues contained or referred to in this Information Statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by you, for
the purposes of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on you under the Code; (b) such discussion is written in connection with the promotion or marketing by the Company of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (c) you should
seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. 
 1. Guarantee of
Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of Shares tendered herewith. 
 2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates. Certificates for all physically surrendered Shares
(“Certificates”), as well as this Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile hereof), properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees, and any other documents required by this Letter of
Transmittal, must be received by the Company (as the surviving company of the combination – referred to as “we,” “us” or similar terms) at its address set forth herein. [The Company’s management has already collected
your stock certificate(s), so you need not provide them with this Letter of Transmittal]. 
 3. Inadequate Space. If the
space provided herein is inadequate, the Certificate numbers and/or the number of Shares should be listed on a separate signed schedule attached hereto. 
 4. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares surrendered hereby, the signature(s) must
correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any other change whatsoever. 
 If any of the Shares surrendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. 
 If any of the surrendered Shares are registered in different names on several Certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different
registrations of Certificates. You will receive multiple Letters of Transmittal if this is applicable to you. 
 If this Letter of
Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of the Certificates(s) listed or if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder but payment is to be made to a person other than the registered holder, the
Certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by the appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder appears on the Certificate(s). 
 If this Letter of Transmittal or any Certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, agent,
officer of a corporation or any person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to us of such person’s authority to so act must be submitted. 

 5. Stock Transfer Taxes. The registered holder surrendering the Certificate(s) must remit
to us any stock transfer taxes payable by reason of the payment of the merger consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate(s) surrendered, or must establish to our satisfaction that such tax has been paid or is not
applicable. 
 6. Delivery of Certificates and/or Cash Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the
undersigned’s properly completed Letter of Transmittal and surrendered Certificate(s) (or affidavit of loss or indemnity agreement in lieu thereof) and the closing of the Merger, we will pay by wire transfer the appropriate merger consideration
to the person or entity at the address set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. 
 7. Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding and
Substitute Form W-9. Under the “backup withholding” provisions of U.S. federal tax law, we may be required to withhold 28% of consideration paid for surrendered Shares. To prevent backup withholding, each surrendering holder who is
a U.S. Person should complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 below, and either: (a) provide the holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and certify, under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided is
correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), and that (i) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that the holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all
interest or dividends, or (ii) the IRS has notified the holder that the holder is no longer subject to backup withholding; or (b) provide an adequate basis for exemption. 
 If “Applied For” is written in Part I of the substitute Form W-9, please complete and sign the separate Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer
Identification Number, and we will retain 28% of any payment during the 60-day period following the date of the Substitute Form W-9. If the holder furnishes us with his or her TIN within 60 days of the date of the Substitute W-9, we will remit such
amount retained during the 60-day period to the holder, and no further amounts will be retained or withheld from any payment made to the holder thereafter. If, however, the holder has not provided us with his or her TIN within such 60-day period, we
will remit such previously retained amounts to the IRS as backup withholding and withhold 28% of any payment for the surrendered Shares made to the holder thereafter unless the holder furnishes a TIN to us prior to any such subsequent payment. In
general, an individual’s TIN is the individual’s Social Security Number. If we are not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for exemption, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS and backup withholding
at a rate of 28%. 
 Failure to complete the Substitute Form W-9 will not, by itself, cause Shares to be deemed invalidly delivered, but may
require us to withhold 28% of the amount of any payments for such Shares. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of
tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided the appropriate returns are filed with the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors. 
 8. Form W-8 for Non-U.S. Persons. Non-U.S. holders may not be subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. A non-U.S.
holder must submit a properly completed appropriate IRS Form W-8, signed under the penalties of perjury, attesting to that 

 
holder’s non-U.S. holder status. The appropriate IRS form may be obtained via the IRS website at www.irs.gov. Holders are urged to consult their own tax
advisors to ensure proper completion of the proper version of Form W-8. 
 9. Federal and State Income Tax Withholding.
We may withhold federal and state income tax required to be withheld under applicable law from the amounts payable under the Merger Agreement. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors. 
 11. Holders who are Nominees. Any record holder of Certificate(s) may submit two or more Letters of Transmittal, each
covering a portion of the Shares represented thereby, provided that such record holder submits with such Letters of Transmittal a certificate satisfactory to the effect that such record holder holds such shares as nominee for more than one owner.

 12. Address Changes. If you anticipate changing your address in the near future, please keep us informed of your new address
by sending us a revised Letter of Transmittal. 
 13. Miscellaneous. The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and shall be deemed to form a part of the terms and conditions of this Letter of Transmittal.
