 Exhibit 10.8(g) 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT, made as of June 28, 2004, between Mr. Kent Guichard, (the “Employee”) and American Woodmark Corporation, a Virginia corporation
(the “Company”). 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to
assure that it will have the benefit of the continued service and experience of the Employee, who is an integral part of the Company’s senior management, and the Employee is willing to enter into an agreement to such end upon the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows: 
  
 1. Employment. The Company hereby employs the Employee and the Employee hereby accepts employment upon and agrees to the terms and conditions set
forth herein. 
  
 2. Term. The term of employment under
this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence upon execution of this Agreement by both parties and end on December 31, 2005; provided, however, that beginning on January 1, 2005, and each January 1 thereafter, the Term of this Agreement shall
automatically be extended for one additional calendar year unless, on or before November 1 of the preceding year, either party gives notice that employment under this Agreement will not be so extended; and further provided that if a Change of
Control (as defined below) occurs during the original or extended term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of 24 months beyond the month in which the Change of Control occurred. 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, as provided in Section 7(c), this Agreement shall terminate immediately
upon the Employee’s death, disability or retirement, or if the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment under circumstances to which Section 7(d) does not apply. 
  
 3. Compensation. 
  
 a. Salary. During the Employee’s employment hereunder, the Company shall pay the Employee for all services rendered by the Employee a base
salary at an annual rate of at least $339,000, with upward annual adjustments as the Company shall deem appropriate from time to time and as approved according to the general practices of and under the authority levels required by the Company. Such
salary shall be payable to the Employee in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices for salaried employees. 
  
 b. Annual Cash Bonus. In addition to base salary, the Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual incentive program with
a bonus opportunity of between 0% and 100% of the Employee’s base salary. The actual amount of such bonus for any fiscal year shall be related to the achievement of certain performance objectives to be set at the beginning of each fiscal year
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall be construed as a guarantee of an annual payment of the annual cash bonus. 
  
 c. Other Executive Compensation Benefits. The Employee shall also be covered by any other executive compensation
policies, benefits, plans, or programs as are afforded generally by the Company from time to time to its senior personnel, including but not limited to grants of stock options and shareholder value units and participation in the American 

 

 2 

 Woodmark Corporation Pension Restoration Plan. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall be construed as a guarantee that
the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will approve any level of such benefits that are at the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee. 
  
 d. Other Salaried Benefits. The Employee shall also be covered by any employee benefit plans, policies, or programs
as are generally available from time to time to other salaried employees of the Company. 
  
 4. Duties. The Employee shall continue to perform his duties as Executive Vice President of the Company and shall faithfully and to the best of his ability perform such duties and responsibilities as may be
reasonably assigned by the Board. 
  
 5. Extent of
Services. During the Employee’s employment hereunder, the Company expects and the Employee agrees that the Employee shall devote sufficient time, attention and energy to the business of the Company so as to adequately fulfill his assigned
duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, the Company and the Employee agree that the business of the Company shall take reasonable priority over any other active business engaged in by the Employee. 
  
 6. Restrictive Covenants. 
  
 a. Non-competition Restriction. Except with the prior written consent
of the Company, the Employee shall not, either during his employment hereunder or for the period of time after termination of his employment hereunder during which the Employee accepts severance payments pursuant to Section 7(b) (if applicable),
directly or indirectly manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, consult with, render services to, or be connected 
  

 3 

 in any manner with the management, operation, ownership or control of any business or venture in competition in the
United States with the business of the Company. For purposes of this Section 6(a), a business or venture shall be deemed to be in competition with the business of the Company if that business or venture or any of its affiliates manufactures,
distributes, or otherwise engages in the design, sale, or transportation of cabinets for residential use, including but not limited to, such cabinet products intended for primary use in the kitchen or bathroom. Nothing in this Section 6(a), however,
shall prohibit the Employee from owning securities of the Company or from owning as an inactive investor up to 5% of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer which is listed on the New York or American Stock Exchange or as to which trading is
reported or quoted on the NASDAQ system. If the Employee elects to directly or indirectly manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, consult with, render services to, or be connected in any manner with the management, operation,
ownership or control of any business or venture which is in competition in the United States with the business of the Company, the Employee acknowledges that the Company is entitled to immediately terminate any and all severance payments being made
pursuant to Section 7(b), if any, and other benefits payable under this Agreement as a result of the Employee’s termination of employment under the conditions set forth in Section 7(b). 
  
 b. Non-solicitation Agreement. Except with the prior written consent
of the Company, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly hire or employ in any capacity or solicit the employment of or offer employment to or entice away or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade any person employed by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries to leave the employ of any of them. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for a period of 18 months after the end of the Term. 
  

 4 

 c. Confidential Information. The Employee further agrees to keep confidential, and not to use for
his personal benefit or for any other person’s benefit, any and all proprietary information received by the Employee relating to inventions, products, production methods, financial matters, sources of supply, markets, marketing methods and
customers of the Company in existence on the date hereof or developed by or for the Company during the Term. This Section 6(c) shall remain in full force and effect after the Term without limit in point of time, but shall cease to apply to
information that legitimately comes into the public domain. 
  
 d.
Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto that, in view of the nature of the business of the Company, the restrictions in Sections 6(a), (b) and (c) above are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of the Company, monetary damages alone are not an adequate remedy for any breach of such provisions, and any violation thereof would result in irreparable injuries to the Company. The Employee therefore acknowledges that, in the event of
his violation of any of such restrictions, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other
benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled. 
  
 e. Severability and Extension. If the period of time or the area specified in Section 7(a) above is determined to be unreasonable in any
proceeding, such period shall be reduced by such number of months or the area shall be reduced by the elimination of such 
  

 5 

 portion thereof, or both, so that such restrictions may be enforced for such time and in such area as is determined to be
reasonable. If the Employee violates any of the restrictions contained in Section 7(a) above, the restrictive period shall not run in favor of the Employee from the time of the commencement of any such violation until such time as such violation
shall cease. 
  
 7. Termination of Employment and Severance
Payments. 
  
 a. Termination for Cause. During the
Term, the Company may terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time for Cause (as hereinafter defined) upon written notice specifying the Cause and the date of termination. Payments under this Agreement shall cease as of
the date of termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means neglect of duty which is not corrected after 90 days’ written notice thereof; misconduct, malfeasance, fraud, or dishonesty which materially and
adversely affects the Company or its reputation in the industry; or the conviction for, or the entering of a plea of Nolo Contendere to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude. 
  
 b. Termination without Cause. During the Term, the Company may terminate the Employee’s employment under this
Agreement at any time for any reason other than Cause upon written notice specifying the date of termination. If on an effective date that is during the Term, the Company terminates the Employee’s employment for reasons other than Cause (which
includes but is not limited to termination by the Company for what the Company believes to be Cause when it is ultimately determined that the Employee was terminated without Cause), then the Company shall pay the Employee severance payments equal to
his base salary for a period of 18 months. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Employee’s base salary shall be equal to the greater of (i) the base salary in effect on the date of termination or (ii) the 
  

 6 

 Employee’s highest base salary rate in effect during the Term of this Agreement. Severance payments shall be made in
accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices for salaried employees over a period consistent with the period of severance as defined above. 
  
 c. Termination in Event of Death, Disability, Retirement or Voluntary Quit. If the Employee dies, becomes disabled, or retires during the Term, or
if the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment during the Term under circumstances to which Section 7(d) does not apply, his employment under this Agreement shall terminate immediately and payment of his base salary hereunder shall cease as
of the date of termination; provided, however, that the Company shall remain liable for payment of any compensation owing but not paid as of the date of termination for services rendered before termination of employment. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed to be disabled if the Company determines, with the assistance of independent experts selected by the Company, that the Employee is unable to perform his duties hereunder for any period of three consecutive
months or for six months in any twelve-month period. 
  
 d.
Termination on Change of Control. By delivering 15 days’ written notice to the Company, the Employee may terminate his employment under this Agreement for any reason at any time within two years after a Change of Control. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Change of Control” means an event described in (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv): 
  
 (i) The acquisition by a Group of Beneficial Ownership of 20% or more of the Stock or the Voting Power of the Company, but excluding for
this purpose: (A) any acquisition of Stock by the Company (or a subsidiary), or an employee benefit plan of the Company; (B) any acquisition of Stock by management employees of the Company; or 
  

 7 

 (C) the ownership of Stock by a Group that owns 10% or more of the Stock or Voting Power of the Company
on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the acquisition of additional Stock by any such Group other than management employees in an amount greater than 5% of the then outstanding Stock shall not be excluded and shall constitute a
Change of Control. 
  
 (ii) Individuals who
constitute the Board of Directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board”) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that any director whose nomination was
approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board unless such individual’s initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest. 
  
 (iii) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, in which the owners of 100% of the Stock or Voting Power of the Company do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
the Stock or Voting Power of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation. 
  
 (iv) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company. 
  
 (v) For purposes of this
Agreement, “Group” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”); “Beneficial Ownership” has the meaning in Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the Act; “Stock” means the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company; and “Voting Power” means the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors. 
  

 8 

 e. Severance Payments. If the Employee terminates his employment within two years after a Change
of Control pursuant to Section 7(d), or if the Company terminates the Employee’s employment for any reason other than Cause (as defined in Section 7(a)) either within three months before or within two years after a Change of Control, the
Employee shall be entitled to a severance payment under this Section 7(e) equal to 2.99 times the sum of (i) the Employee’s annual base salary in effect at the termination of employment or, if greater, the Employee’s largest annual base
salary rate in effect during the term of this Agreement, plus (ii) an amount equal to the greater of the average of the bonuses paid to the Employee for the three fiscal years preceding the year in which employment is terminated or 60% of the
maximum eligible annual cash bonus for the year of termination. This severance payment shall be made to the Employee in a single lump sum within 10 business days of the date of the Employee’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if the independent accountants acting as auditors for the Company on the date of the Change of Control determine that such single payment, together with other compensation received by the Employee that is contingent on a Change
of Control, would constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, the single payment to the Employee shall be reduced to the maximum
amount which may be paid without such payments in the aggregate constituting “excess parachute payments.” 
  

 9 

 8. Vacation. During the Term, the Employee shall be entitled to a vacation in each calendar year
in accordance with the Company’s policy; during this vacation, his compensation shall be paid in full. 
  
 9. Insurance. In accordance with Section 3(d), while he is employed by the Company, the Employee and his eligible dependents as insureds shall be
covered under existing insurance policies on the same terms and conditions as offered to all full-time salaried employees. In accordance with Company policy, coverage under the Company’s insurance policies terminates on the date that employment
terminates. If the Company terminates the Employee’s employment during the Term of this Agreement for any reason except Cause, or if the Employee terminates his employment within two years following a Change of Control as contemplated by
Section 7(d), the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the required COBRA premiums to the extent the Company subsidizes the premium for active salaried employees for a period not to exceed 18 months so long as the Employee is not eligible for
coverage under any other group medical plan. If the Employee becomes eligible for coverage under another group medical plan, the Company shall cease reimbursement for COBRA premiums on the date the Employee first becomes eligible for coverage under
the other plan. The Company’s reimbursement for COBRA premiums shall include a gross-up amount for tax liability at the Employee’s incremental tax rate. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be interpreted to prohibit the Company from changing
or terminating any benefit package or program at any time and from time to time so long as the benefits hereunder, considered in the aggregate, are comparable at any given time to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of the Company
at that time. 
  

 10

this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 9, 2004, between Gold Kist Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and SunTrust Bank, as rights agent (the “Rights Agent,” which term shall

of the Corporation as provided in Section 2.1, has authorized the issuance of one right (“Right”) in respect of each share of Common Stock issued after the Record Time (as hereinafter defined) and prior to the Separation Time (as
hereinafter defined); 
  
 WHEREAS, subject to Sections 3.1, 5.1
and 5.10, each Right entitles the holder thereof, after the Separation Time, to purchase securities of the Corporation (or, in certain cases, of certain other entities) pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

  
 WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to appoint the Rights Agent
to act on behalf of the Corporation, and the Rights Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and replacement of Rights Certificates (as hereinafter defined), the exercise of Rights and other matters referred to
herein; 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
the respective agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
  
 CERTAIN
DEFINITIONS 
  
 1.1 Certain Definitions. For purposes
of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated: 
  
 “Acquiring Person” shall mean any Person who is a Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the term “Acquiring Person” shall not include any Person (i) who is the
Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date of this Agreement or who shall become the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock solely as a result of an acquisition by the
Corporation of shares of Common Stock, until such time hereafter or thereafter as any such Person shall become the Beneficial Owner (other than by means of a stock dividend or stock split) of any additional shares of Common Stock, (ii) who is the
Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock but who acquired Beneficial Ownership of shares of Common Stock without any plan or intention to seek or affect control of the Corporation, if such Person promptly enters into
an irrevocable commitment promptly to divest, and thereafter promptly divests (without exercising or retaining any power, including voting power, with respect to such shares), sufficient shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into,
exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock) so that such Person ceases to be the Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) who Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock consisting solely of one or more
of (A) shares of Common Stock Beneficially Owned pursuant to the grant or exercise of an option granted to such Person by the Corporation in connection with an agreement to merge with, or acquire, the Corporation entered into prior to a Flip-In
Date, (B) shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into, exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock) Beneficially Owned by such Person or its Affiliates or Associates at the time of grant of such option or (C) shares of Common Stock
(or securities convertible into, exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Stock) acquired by Affiliates or Associates of such Person after the time of such grant which, in the aggregate, amount to less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. 

 In addition, the Corporation, any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Corporation and any employee stock
ownership or other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Corporation shall not be an Acquiring Person. 
  
 “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”), as such Rule is in effect on the date of this Agreement. 
  
 A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, and to have “Beneficial Ownership” of, and to “Beneficially Own,” any
securities of which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates is or may be deemed to be the beneficial owner pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act, as such Rules are in effect on the date of this
Agreement, as well as any securities as to which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has the right to become Beneficial Owner (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the
occurrence of conditions) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, other rights (other than the Rights), warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a Person
shall not be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, or to have “Beneficial Ownership” of, or to “Beneficially Own,” any security (i) solely because such security has been tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made
by such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered security is accepted for payment or exchange or (ii) solely because such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has or shares the power to
vote or direct the voting of such security pursuant to a revocable proxy given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made to more than ten holders of shares of a class of stock of the Corporation registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act and pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act, except if such power (or the arrangements relating thereto) is then reportable under Item 6 of Schedule 13D
under the Securities Exchange Act (or any similar provision of a comparable or successor report). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no officer or director of the Corporation shall be deemed to Beneficially Own any securities of any other Person by
virtue of any actions such officer or director takes in such capacity. For purposes of this Agreement, any calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time, including for purposes of determining the percentage of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock with respect to which a Person is the Beneficial Owner, shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act. 
  
 “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
a day on which banking institutions in Atlanta, Georgia are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close. 
  
 “Close of Business” on any given date shall mean 5:00 p.m. Atlanta, Georgia time on such date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, 5:00 p.m.
Atlanta, Georgia time on the next succeeding Business Day). 
  
 “Common Stock” shall mean the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation. 
  
 “Exchange Time” shall mean the time at which the right to exercise the Rights shall terminate pursuant to Section 3.1(c). 
  
 “Exercise Price” shall mean, as of any date, the price at which a
holder may purchase the securities issuable upon exercise of one whole Right. Until adjustment thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, the Exercise Price shall equal $60.00. 
  
 “Expiration Time” shall mean the earliest of (i) the Exchange Time, (ii) the Redemption Time, (iii) July 9, 2014
and (iv) after the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Conversion by and among the Corporation and Gold Kist Inc., dated May 25, 2004 (the “Plan”), the time of a merger of the Corporation into
another corporation pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to a Flip-In Date. 
  
 “Flip-In Date” shall mean the tenth Business Day after any Stock Acquisition Date or such earlier or later date as the Board of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time fix by resolution adopted
prior to the Flip-In Date that would otherwise have occurred. 
  

 2 

 “Flip-Over Entity” for purposes of Section 3.2, shall mean (i) in the case of a Flip-Over
Transaction or Event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, the Person issuing any securities into which shares of Common Stock are being converted or exchanged and, if no such securities are being issued, any other party to such
Flip-Over Transaction or Event and (ii) in the case of a Flip-Over Transaction or Event referred to in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Person receiving the greatest portion of the assets or earning power being transferred in such
Flip-Over Transaction or Event; provided in all cases if such Person is a subsidiary of another Person, the ultimate controlling Person that is not an individual shall be the Flip-Over Entity. 
  
 “Flip-Over Stock” shall mean the capital stock (or similar equity
interest) with the greatest voting power in respect of the election of directors (or other Persons similarly responsible for direction of the business and affairs) of the Flip-Over Entity. 
  
 “Flip-Over Transaction or Event” shall mean a transaction or series
of transactions after a Flip-In Date in which, directly or indirectly, (i) the Corporation shall consolidate or merge or participate in a share exchange with any other Person if, at the time of the consolidation, merger or share exchange or at the
time the Corporation enters into any agreement with respect to any such consolidation, merger or share exchange, the Acquiring Person is the Beneficial Owner of 90% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or Controls the Board of Directors of the
Corporation and either (A) any term of or arrangement concerning the treatment of shares of capital stock in such consolidation, merger or share exchange relating to the Acquiring Person is not identical to the terms and arrangements relating to
other holders of the Common Stock or (B) the Person with whom the transaction or series of transactions occurs is the Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of the Acquiring Person or (ii) the Corporation shall sell or otherwise transfer (or
one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer) assets (A) aggregating more than 50% of the assets (measured by either book value or fair market value) or (B) generating more than 50% of the operating income or cash flow, of the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any Person (other than the Corporation or one or more of its wholly owned Subsidiaries) or to two or more such Persons which are Affiliates or Associates or otherwise acting in concert, if, at
the time of the entry by the Corporation (or any such Subsidiary) into an agreement with respect to such sale or transfer of assets, the Acquiring Person is the Beneficial Owner of 90% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or Controls the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. An Acquiring Person shall be deemed to “Control” the Corporation’s Board of Directors when, following a Flip-In Date, the Persons who were directors of the Corporation before the Stock Acquisition Date of

(determined as described below) on each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days through and including the Trading Day immediately preceding such date; provided, however, that if an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3
shall have caused the closing prices used to determine the Market Price on any Trading Days during such period of 20 Trading Days not to be fully comparable with the closing price on such date, each such closing price so used shall be appropriately
adjusted in order to make it fully comparable with the closing price on such date. The closing price per share of any securities on any date shall be the last reported sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place or is quoted on
such date, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, for each share of such securities, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or, if the securities are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed
on the principal national securities exchange on which the securities are listed or admitted to trading or, if the securities are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc.’s Nasdaq National Market or such other system then in use, or, if on any such date the securities are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid
and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the securities selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that if on any such date the securities are not listed or admitted to trading on
a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing price per share of such securities on such date shall mean the fair value per share of securities on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, after consultation with a nationally recognized investment banking firm, and set forth in a certificate delivered to the Rights Agent.

 ARTICLE II 
  
 THE RIGHTS 
  
 2.1 Issuance of Rights Certificates; Legend. (a) Certificates for the Common Stock issued after the Record Time but prior to the Separation Time
shall evidence, in addition to the Common Stock represented by such certificate, one Right for each share of Common Stock represented thereby and shall have impressed on, printed on, written on or otherwise affixed to them the following legend:

  
 “Until the Separation Time (as defined in the Rights
Agreement referred to below), this certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in a Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2004 (as such may be amended from time to time, the
“Rights Agreement”), between Gold Kist Holdings Inc. (the “Corporation”) and SunTrust Bank, as Rights Agent, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive
offices of the 
  

 4 

 Corporation. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights may be
redeemed, may become exercisable for securities or assets of the Corporation or of another entity, may be exchanged for shares of Common Stock or other securities or assets of the Corporation, may expire, may become void (if they are
“Beneficially Owned” by an “Acquiring Person” or an Affiliate or Associate thereof, as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement, or by any transferee of any of the foregoing) or may be evidenced by separate certificates and
may no longer be evidenced by this certificate. The Corporation will mail or arrange for the mailing of a copy of the Rights Agreement to the holder of this certificate without charge promptly after the receipt of a written request therefor.”

  
 Certificates representing shares of Common Stock that are issued and
outstanding at the Record Time shall evidence, in addition to the Common Stock represented by such certificate, one Right for each share of Common Stock evidenced thereby notwithstanding the absence of the foregoing legend. 
  
 (b) Subject to Sections 2.3 and 5.3, one Right shall be issued in respect of
each share of Common Stock that becomes outstanding (whether by original issuance or out of treasury, but other than in a transaction contemplated by Section 2.3) after the Record Time but prior to the Separation Time. To the extent provided in
Section 5.3, Rights shall be issued by the Corporation in respect of shares of Common Stock that are issued or sold by the Corporation after the Separation Time. 
  
 2.2 Exercise of Rights; Separation of Rights. (a) Subject to Sections 3.1, 5.1 and 5.10 and subject to adjustment as
herein set forth, each Right will entitle the holder thereof, after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, to purchase, for the Exercise Price, one ten-thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Preferred Stock. 
  
 (b) Until the Separation Time, (i) no Right may be exercised and (ii) each
Right will be evidenced by the certificate that evidences the share of Common Stock with which it is associated and will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, such associated share of Common Stock, and the
surrender for transfer of any certificates representing outstanding Common Stock will also constitute the surrender for transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate. 
  
 (c) Subject to this Section 2.2 and to Sections 3.1, 5.1 and 5.10, after the
Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, the Rights (i) may be exercised and (ii) may be transferred independently of shares of Common Stock. Promptly following the Separation Time, the Rights Agent will mail to each holder of record of
Common Stock as of the Separation Time (other than any Person whose Rights have become void pursuant to Section 3.1(b)), at such holder’s address as shown by the records of the Corporation (the Corporation hereby agreeing to furnish copies of
such records to the Rights Agent for this purpose), (x) a certificate (a “Rights Certificate”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto appropriately completed, representing the number of Rights held by such holder at the
Separation Time and having such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Corporation may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may
be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed or traded, or to
conform to usage, and (y) a disclosure statement describing the Rights. 
  
 (d) Subject to Sections 3.1, 5.1 and 5.10, Rights may be exercised on any Business Day after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time by submitting to the Rights Agent the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights with an
Election to Exercise (an “Election to Exercise”) substantially in the form attached to the Rights Certificate, duly completed, accompanied by payment by certified or official bank check or money order payable to the order of the
Corporation, of a sum equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Rights being exercised and a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of
Rights Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates for shares or depositary receipts (or both) in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being exercised. 
  
 (e) Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate, with an Election to Exercise accompanied by payment as set forth in Section
2.2(d), and subject to Sections 3.1, 5.1 and 5.10, the Rights Agent promptly will (i)(A) requisition 
  

 5 

 from the Corporation’s transfer agent(s) stock certificates evidencing such number of shares or other securities to
be purchased (the Corporation hereby irrevocably authorizing its transfer agents to comply with all such requisitions) and (B) if the Corporation elects pursuant to Section 5.5 not to issue certificates representing fractional shares, requisition
from the depositary selected by the Corporation depositary receipts representing the fractional shares to be purchased or requisition from the Corporation the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 5.5 and
(ii) after receipt of such certificates, depositary receipts and/or cash, deliver the same to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered (in the case of certificates or depositary receipts) in such name or
names as may be designated by such holder. In the event that the Corporation elects pursuant to Section 3.1(e) to issue other securities and/or assets of the Corporation upon exercise of the Rights, the Corporation will make all arrangements
necessary so that such other securities and/or assets of the Corporation are available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when appropriate. 
  
 (f) In case the holder of any Rights shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced by such holder’s Rights Certificate, a new Rights Certificate
evidencing the Rights remaining unexercised will be issued by the Rights Agent to such holder or to such holder’s duly authorized assigns. 
  
 (g) The Corporation covenants and agrees that it will (i) take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares delivered upon exercise of
Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such shares (subject to payment of the Exercise Price), be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered and fully paid and nonassessable; (ii) take all such action as may
be necessary to comply with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and any other applicable law, rule or regulation, in connection with the
issuance of any shares upon exercise of Rights; and (iii) pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges that may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates or of any
shares issued upon the exercise of Rights, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates or the
issuance or delivery of certificates for shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being transferred or exercised. 
  
 2.3 Adjustments to Exercise Price; Number of Rights. (a) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the
Separation Time (i) declare or pay a dividend on Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, (x) the Exercise Price
in effect after such adjustment will be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Expansion Factor”) that a holder of one share of Common Stock
immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision or combination would hold thereafter as a result thereof (assuming for such purpose that the Corporation would issue a fraction of a share of Common Stock, as applicable, and without giving effect to
any requirement that cash be paid in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share interest) and (y) each Right held prior to such adjustment will become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor, and the adjusted number of Rights will be
deemed to be distributed among the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the shares issued in respect of such dividend, subdivision or combination, so that each such share
of Common Stock will have exactly one Right associated with it. Each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be made as of the payment or effective date for the applicable dividend, subdivision or combination. 
  
 (b) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and
prior to the Separation Time issue or distribute any securities or assets in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for Common Stock (other than pursuant to a regular periodic cash dividend or a dividend paid solely in Common Stock) whether by
dividend, in a reclassification or recapitalization (including any such transaction involving a merger, consolidation or share exchange), or otherwise, the Corporation shall make such adjustments, if any, in the Exercise Price, number of Rights
and/or securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of Rights as the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may deem to be appropriate under the circumstances in order to adequately protect the interests of the
holders of Rights generally, and the Corporation and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement as necessary to provide for such adjustments. 
  

 6 

 (c) Each adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be calculated to the
nearest cent. Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Corporation shall (i) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment
and (ii) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any adjustment therein and shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such a certificate. 
  
 Rights Certificates shall represent the right to purchase the securities purchasable under the terms of this Agreement, including any adjustment or change
in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, even though such certificates may continue to express the right to purchase the securities purchasable at the time of issuance of the initial Rights Certificates. 
  
 2.4 Date on Which Exercise is Effective. Each person in whose name any
certificate for shares is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby on the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly
surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price for such Rights (and any applicable taxes and other governmental charges payable by the exercising holder hereunder) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date
upon which the stock transfer books of the Corporation are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the stock transfer
books of the Corporation are open. 
  
 2.5 Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating of Rights Certificates. (a) The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Rights Certificates may be manual or facsimile. 
  
 Rights Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at the time of such signature the proper officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Rights
Certificates. 
  
 Promptly after the Separation Time, the
Corporation will notify the Rights Agent of such Separation Time and will deliver Rights Certificates executed by the Corporation to the Rights Agent for countersignature, and, subject to Section 3.1(b), an authorized signatory of the Rights Agent
shall manually countersign and deliver such Rights Certificates to the holders of the Rights pursuant to Section 2.2(c). No Rights Certificate shall be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Rights
Agent. 
  
 (b) Each Rights Certificate shall be dated the date of
countersignature thereof. 
  
 2.6 Registration, Registration of
Transfer and Exchange. (a) After the Separation Time, the Corporation will cause to be kept a register (the “Rights Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation will provide for the
registration and transfer of Rights. The Rights Agent is hereby appointed “Rights Registrar” for the purpose of maintaining the Rights Register for the Corporation and registering Rights and transfers of Rights after the Separation Time as
herein provided. In the event that the Rights Agent shall cease to be the Rights Registrar, the Rights Agent will have the right to examine the Rights Register at all reasonable times after the Separation Time. 
  
 After the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, upon surrender
for registration of transfer or exchange of any Rights Certificate, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6(a) and Sections 2.6(c) and 2.6(d), the Corporation will execute and the Rights Agent will countersign and deliver, in the name of
the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Rights Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so surrendered.

  

 7 

 (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(b), all Rights issued upon any registration of transfer
or exchange of Rights Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Corporation, and such Rights shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Rights surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

 
 (c) Every Rights Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the holder thereof or such holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Corporation shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect to the transfer of any such surrendered Rights Certificates until the registered holder shall have completed and signed
the certificate contained in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such Rights Certificate and shall have provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates
thereof as the Corporation shall reasonably request. As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.6, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto. 
  
 (d) The Corporation shall
not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Rights after such Rights have become void under Section 3.1(b), been exchanged under Section 3.1(c) or been redeemed under Section 5.1. 
  
 2.7 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Rights Certificates. (a) If
any mutilated Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time, then, subject to Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c) and 5.1, the Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor
a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so surrendered. 
  
 (b) If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Rights Certificate and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, subject to Sections 3.1(b), 3.1(c) and 5.1 and in the absence of notice
to the Corporation or the Rights Agent that such Rights Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and upon its request the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or
stolen Rights Certificate, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so destroyed, lost or stolen. 
  
 (c) As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.7, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) connected therewith. 
  
 (d) Every new Rights Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Rights
Certificate shall evidence an original additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and, subject to Section 3.1(b), shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Rights duly issued hereunder. 
  
 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Stock
certificate) for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, such Common
Stock certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. As used in this
Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, the term “holder” of any Rights shall mean the registered holder of such Rights (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated shares of Common Stock). 
  
 2.9 Delivery and Cancellation of Certificates. All Rights Certificates
surrendered upon exercise or for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Rights Agent, be 
  

 8 

 delivered to the Rights Agent and, in any case, shall be promptly canceled by the Rights Agent. The Corporation may at
any time deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation any Rights Certificates previously countersigned and delivered hereunder which the Corporation may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Rights Certificates so delivered shall be
promptly canceled by the Rights Agent. No Rights Certificates shall be countersigned in lieu of or in exchange for any Rights Certificates canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Rights Agent
shall return all canceled Rights Certificates to the Corporation. 
  
 2.10 Agreement of Rights Holders. Every holder of a Right by accepting the same consents and agrees with the Corporation and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that: 
  
 (a) prior to the Separation Time, each Right will be transferable only
together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, the associated share of Common Stock; 
  
 (b) after the Separation Time, the Rights Certificates will be transferable only on the Rights Register as provided herein; 
  
 (c) prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Stock certificate) for registration of
transfer, the Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name the Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Stock certificate) is
registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; 
  
 (d) Rights beneficially owned by certain Persons will, under the
circumstances set forth in Section 3.1(b), become void; 
  
 (e)
this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or 5.4; and 
  
 (f) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a
Right or other Person as a result of the Rights Agent’s inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such
obligation; provided, however, the Corporation must use its best efforts to have any such order, decree or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as possible. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RIGHTS IN 
 THE
EVENT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 
  
 3.1 Flip-In. (a) In
the event that prior to the Expiration Time a Flip-In Date shall occur, except as provided in this Section 3.1, each Right shall constitute the right to purchase from the Corporation, upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms hereof (but
subject to Section 5.10), that number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Market Price on the Stock Acquisition Date equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price (such right to be appropriately
adjusted in order to protect the interests of the holders of Rights generally in the event that on or after such Stock Acquisition Date an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3(a) or (b) shall have occurred with
respect to the Common Stock). 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Rights that are or were Beneficially Owned on or after the Stock Acquisition Date by an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate thereof or by any transferee, direct or indirect, of any of the foregoing shall become void and any
holder of such Rights (including transferees) shall 
  

 9 

 thereafter have no right to exercise or transfer such Rights under any provision of this Agreement. If any Rights
Certificate is presented for assignment or exercise and the Person presenting the same will not complete the certification set forth at the end of the form of assignment or notice of election to exercise and provide such additional evidence of the
identity of the Beneficial Owner and its Affiliates and Associates (or former Beneficial Owners and their Affiliates and Associates) as the Corporation shall reasonably request, then the Corporation shall be entitled conclusively to deem the
Beneficial Owner thereof to be an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate thereof or a transferee of any of the foregoing and accordingly will deem the Rights evidenced thereby to be void and not transferable or exercisable. 
  
 (c) The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, at its option, at any time
after a Flip-In Date and prior to the time that an Acquiring Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, elect to exchange all (but not less than all) the then-outstanding Rights (other than Rights
that have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(b)) for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right (appropriately adjusted in order to protect the interests of holders of Rights generally in
the event that after the Separation Time an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3(a) or (b) shall have occurred with respect to the Common Stock) (such exchange ratio, as adjusted from time to time, being
hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”). 
  
 Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Corporation electing to exchange the Rights, without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and each Right (other than Rights
that have become void pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) will thereafter represent only the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. Promptly after the action of the Board of Directors electing to exchange the
Rights, the Corporation shall give notice thereof (specifying the steps to be taken to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange for Rights) to the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights (other than Rights that have become void pursuant to
Section 3.1(b)) outstanding immediately prior thereto by mailing such notice in accordance with Section 5.9. 
  
 Each Person in whose name any certificate for shares is issued upon the exchange of Rights pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) or Section 3.1(e) shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of any applicable
taxes and other governmental charges payable by the holder was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the stock transfer books of the Corporation are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have
become the record holder of such shares on, and such Certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the stock transfer books of the Corporation are open. 
  
 (d) Whenever the Corporation shall become obligated under Section 3.1(a) or (c) to issue shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of or in exchange for Rights, the Corporation, at its option, may substitute therefor shares of Preferred Stock, at a ratio of one ten-thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Preferred Stock for each share of Common Stock so issuable.

  
 (e) In the event that there shall not be sufficient treasury
shares or authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation to permit the exercise or exchange in full of the Rights in accordance with Section 3.1(a) or (c), the Corporation shall either (i) call a meeting of
stockholders seeking approval to cause sufficient additional shares to be authorized (provided that if such approval is not obtained the Corporation will take the action specified in clause (ii) of this sentence) or (ii) take such action as shall be
necessary to ensure and provide, to the extent permitted by applicable law and any agreements or instruments in effect on the Stock Acquisition Date to which it is a party, that each Right shall thereafter constitute the right to receive, (x) at the
Corporation’s option, either (A) in return for the Exercise Price, cash, debt or equity securities or other assets (or a combination thereof) having a fair value equal to twice the Exercise Price, or (B) without payment of consideration (except
as otherwise required by applicable law), cash, debt or equity securities or other assets (or a combination thereof) having a fair value equal to the Exercise Price, or (y) if the Board of Directors of the Corporation elects to exchange the Rights
in accordance with Section 3.1(c), debt or equity securities or other assets (or a combination thereof) having a fair value equal to the product of the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Flip-In Date times the Exchange Ratio in effect on
the Flip-In Date, where in any case set forth in (x) 
  

 10 

 or (y) above the fair value of such debt or equity securities or other assets shall be as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation, after consultation with a nationally recognized investment banking firm. 
  
 3.2 Flip-Over. (a) Prior to the Expiration Time, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement with respect to, consummate or permit to occur
any Flip-Over Transaction or Event unless and until it shall have entered into a supplemental agreement with the Flip-Over Entity, for the benefit of the holders of the Rights (other than holders of Rights that have become void pursuant to Section
3.1(b)), providing that, upon consummation or occurrence of the Flip-Over Transaction or Event (i) each Right (other than holders of Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) shall thereafter constitute the right to purchase from the
Flip-Over Entity, upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, that number of shares of Flip-Over Stock of the Flip-Over Entity having an aggregate Market Price on the date of consummation or occurrence of such Flip-Over Transaction or
Event equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price (such right to be appropriately adjusted in order to protect the interests of the holders of Rights generally (other than holders of Rights that have become
void pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) in the event that after such date of consummation or occurrence an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3(a) or (b) shall have occurred with respect to the Flip-Over Stock) and (ii)
the Flip-Over Entity shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such Flip-Over Transaction or Event and such supplemental agreement, all the obligations and duties of the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement. The provisions of
this Section 3.2 shall apply to successive Flip-Over Transactions or Events. 
  
 (b) Prior to the Expiration Time, unless the Rights will be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.1 in connection therewith, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement with respect to, consummate or permit to occur
any Flip-Over Transaction or Event if at the time thereof there are any rights, warrants or securities outstanding or any other arrangements, agreements or instruments that would eliminate or otherwise diminish in any material respect the benefits
intended to be afforded by this Rights Agreement to the holders of Rights upon consummation of such transaction. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
  
 THE RIGHTS AGENT 
  
 4.1 General. (a) The
Corporation hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Corporation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Corporation agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Agreement and the
exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Corporation also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense, incurred
without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent or such other indemnified party, for anything done or suffered or omitted to be done by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration
of this Agreement or the exercise or performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability. The indemnity provided in this Section 4.1(a) shall survive the expiration of the Rights and the
termination of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Rights Agent shall be
fully protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement or the exercise or performance of its duties hereunder in reliance upon any
certificate for securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights, Rights Certificate, certificate for other securities of the Corporation, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction,
consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper person or persons. 
  
 4.2 Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent. (a) Any
Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent is 

 

 11 

 a party, or any corporation succeeding to the stockholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent, will be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a
successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 4.4. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent succeeds to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Rights Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor
Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may
countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in
this Agreement. 
  
 (b) In case at any time the name of the Rights
Agent is changed and at such time any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at
that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full
force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. 
  
 4.3 Duties of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Corporation and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their
acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 
  
 (a) The Rights Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Corporation), and the advice or opinion of such counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion. 
  
 (b)
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Corporation prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or
matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by a person believed by the Rights Agent to be the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such
certificate will be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 
  
 (c) The Rights Agent will be liable hereunder only for its own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
  
 (d) The Rights
Agent will not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the certificates for securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights or the Rights Certificates (except its countersignature
thereof) or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and will be deemed to have been made by the Corporation only. 
  
 (e) The Rights Agent will not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of any provision of this Agreement or the execution and delivery
hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any certificate for securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights or Rights Certificate (except its
countersignature thereof); nor will it be responsible for any breach by the Corporation of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor will it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the
Rights (including the Rights becoming void pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) or any adjustment required under any provision of this Agreement or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of
facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights after receipt of the certificate contemplated by 
  

 12 

 Section 2.3 describing any such adjustment); nor will it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or
warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights or any Rights or as to whether any securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights will, when issued, be duly and validly authorized, executed,
issued and delivered and fully paid and nonassessable. 
  
 (f) The
Corporation agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent
for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any person believed by the Rights Agent to be the Chairman of the Board, the
Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Chief Financial Officer, or the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation, and to apply to such persons for advice or instructions
in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such person, or for any delay in acting while awaiting instructions. Any application by
the Rights Agent for written instructions from the Corporation may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken, suffered or omitted by the Rights Agent under this Agreement and the date on or after which
such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the date
specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five Business Days after the date any officer of the Corporation actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an earlier date) unless,
prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Rights Agent shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken, suffered or omitted. 
  
 (h) The Rights Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of
the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in Common Stock, Rights or other securities of the Corporation or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Corporation may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Corporation
or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Corporation or for any other Person. 
  
 (i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers
hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for
any loss to the Corporation resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided the Rights Agent was not grossly negligent in the selection and continued employment thereof. 
  
 (j) The Rights Agent undertakes only the express duties and obligations
imposed on it by this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. 
  
 (k) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Rights Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits). 
  
 (l) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its
rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 4.4 Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon
90 days notice (or such lesser notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) in writing mailed to the Corporation and to each transfer agent of Common Stock by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights in accordance with Section
5.9. The Corporation may remove the Rights Agent upon 30 days notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock by registered or certified mail, 
  

 13 

 and to the holders of the Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. If the Rights Agent should resign or be removed or
otherwise become incapable of acting, the Corporation will appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Corporation fails to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such
resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of any Rights (which holder shall, with such notice, submit such holder’s Rights Certificate for inspection by the Corporation), then the holder of any
Rights may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Corporation or by such a court, shall be (a) a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or of the State of Georgia or any other State of the United States, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise the powers of the Rights Agent contemplated by this Agreement and is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 or (b) an Affiliate of a corporation described in the immediately preceding
clause (a). After appointment, the successor Rights Agent will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall
deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such
appointment, the Corporation will file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the holders of the Rights. Failure to give any notice provided
for in this Section 4.4, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 5.1 Redemption. (a) The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, at its option, at any time prior to the close of business on the Flip-In Date
elect to redeem all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price and the Corporation, at its option, may pay the Redemption Price either in cash or shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation
deemed by the Board of Directors, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to be at least equivalent in value to the Redemption Price. 
  
 (b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of the Corporation electing to redeem the Rights (or, if the resolution of the Board of
Directors electing to redeem the Rights states that the redemption will not be effective until the occurrence of a specified future time or event, upon the occurrence of such future time or event), without any further action and without any notice,
the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and each Right will thereafter represent only the right to receive the Redemption Price in cash or securities, as determined by the Board of Directors. Promptly after the Rights are redeemed, the
Corporation shall give notice of such redemption to the Rights Agent and the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice in accordance with Section 5.9. 
  
 5.2 Expiration. The Rights and this Agreement shall expire at the Expiration Time and no Person shall have any rights
pursuant to this Agreement or any Right after the Expiration Time, except, if the Rights are exchanged or redeemed, as provided in Section 3.1 or 5.1. 
  
 5.3 Issuance of New Rights Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Corporation
may, at its option, issue new Rights Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the number or kind or class of shares of stock purchasable upon exercise of Rights
made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock by the Corporation following the Separation Time and prior to the Redemption Time or Expiration Time pursuant to
the terms of securities convertible or redeemable into shares of Common Stock or to options, in each case issued or granted prior to, and outstanding at, the Separation Time, the Corporation shall issue to the holders of such shares of Common Stock,
Rights Certificates representing the appropriate number of Rights in connection with the issuance or sale of such shares of Common Stock; provided, however, in each case, (i) no such Rights Certificate shall be 
  

 14 

 issued, if, and to the extent that, the Corporation shall be advised by counsel that such issuance would create a
significant risk of material adverse tax consequences to the Corporation or to the Person to whom such Rights Certificates would be issued, (ii) no such Rights Certificates shall be issued if, and to the extent that, appropriate adjustment shall
have otherwise been made in lieu of the issuance thereof, and (iii) the Corporation shall have no obligation to distribute Rights Certificates to any Acquiring Person or Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or any transferee of any of the
foregoing. 
  
 5.4 Supplements and Amendments. The
Corporation and the Rights Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights (i) prior to the Close of Business on the Flip-In Date, in any respect and (ii) after the Close of Business on
the Flip-In Date, to make any changes that the Corporation may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally (other than an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or an
Associate of an Acquiring Person) or in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or otherwise defective. The Rights Agent will duly execute and
deliver any supplement or amendment hereto requested by the Corporation upon receipt of a certificate from the Corporation that such supplement or amendment satisfies the terms of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, no supplement or amendment that changes the rights and duties of the Rights Agent under this Agreement shall be effective without the consent of the Rights Agent. 
  
 5.5 Fractional Shares. If the Corporation elects not to issue
certificates representing fractional shares upon exercise or redemption of Rights, the Corporation shall, in lieu thereof, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, either (a) evidence such fractional shares by depositary receipts issued
pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Corporation and a depositary selected by it, providing that each holder of a depositary receipt shall have all of the rights, privileges and preferences to which such holder would be entitled as a
beneficial owner of such fractional share, or (b) sell such shares on behalf of the holders of Rights and pay to the registered holder of such Rights the appropriate fraction of price per share received upon such sale. 
  
 5.6 Rights of Action. Subject to the terms of this Agreement
(including Section 3.1(b)), rights of action in respect of this Agreement, other than rights of action vested solely in the Rights Agent, are vested in the respective holders of the Rights; and any holder of any Rights, without the consent of the
Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights, may, on such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit and the benefit of other holders of Rights, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding
against the Corporation to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder’s right to exercise such holder’s Rights in the manner provided in such holder’s Rights Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing
or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations
under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of, the obligations of any Person subject to this Agreement. 
  
 5.7 Holder of Rights Not Deemed a Stockholder. No holder, as such, of any Rights shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any
purpose the holder of shares or any other securities which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of such Rights, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Rights Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Rights, as such,
any of the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive
notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in Section 5.8), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until such Rights shall have been exercised or exchanged in accordance with the provisions
hereof. 
  
 5.8 Notice of Proposed Actions. In case the
Corporation shall propose after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time (i) to effect or permit occurrence of any Flip-Over Transaction or Event or (ii) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then, in
each such case, the Corporation shall give to each holder of a Right, in accordance with Section 5.9, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which such Flip-Over Transaction or Event, liquidation, dissolution, or winding
up is to take place, and such notice shall be so given at least 20 Business Days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action.

 This certifies that
                                        
        , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of Rights set forth above, each of which entitles the registered holder thereof, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of
the Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2004 (as amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), between Gold Kist Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), and SunTrust Bank, as
rights agent (the “Rights Agent,” which term shall include any successor rights agent under the Rights Agreement), to purchase from the Corporation at any time after the Separation Time (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) and
prior to the Close of Business on July 9, 2014, one ten-thousandth (1/10,000) of a fully paid share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Corporation (subject to
adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement) at the Exercise Price referred to below, upon presentation and surrender of this Rights Certificate with the Form of Election to Exercise duly executed at the principal office of the Rights Agent. The
Exercise Price shall initially be $60.00 per Right and shall be subject to adjustment in certain events as provided in the Rights Agreement. 
  
 In certain circumstances described in the Rights Agreement, the Rights evidenced hereby may entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase securities of an entity
other than the Corporation or securities or assets of the Corporation other than Preferred Stock, all as provided in the Rights Agreement. 
  
 This Rights Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Rights Agreement, which terms, provisions and conditions are hereby incorporated
herein by reference and made a part hereof and to which Rights Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities hereunder of the Rights Agent, the Corporation and the

 This Rights Certificate, with or without other Rights Certificates, upon surrender at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, may be exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates of like tenor
evidencing an aggregate number of Rights equal to the aggregate number of Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered. If this Rights Certificate shall be exercised in part, the registered holder shall be entitled
to receive, upon surrender hereof, another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates for the number of whole Rights not exercised. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, each Right evidenced by this Certificate may be (a) redeemed by the Corporation under certain circumstances, at its
option, at a redemption price of $.01 per Right or (b) exchanged by the Corporation under certain circumstances, at its option, for one share of Common Stock or one ten-thousandth (1/10,000) of a share of Preferred Stock) per Right (or, in certain
cases, other securities or assets of the Corporation), subject in each case to adjustment in certain events as provided in the Rights Agreement. 
  
 No holder of this Rights Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of any securities which may at any
time be issuable on the exercise hereof, nor shall anything contained in the Rights Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the 
  

 rights of a stockholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in the Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends
or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate shall have been exercised or exchanged as provided in the Rights Agreement. 
  
 This Rights Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Rights Agent.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGANATIONS OF THE 
 PREFERENCES, LIMITATIONS AND RELATIVE RIGHTS 
 OF SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK 
 OF GOLD KIST HOLDINGS INC. 
  
 Pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Gold Kist Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”),

  
 DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that pursuant to the authority conferred
upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, said Board of Directors at a meeting duly held on June 30, 2004 has duly adopted a resolution
providing for the issuance of a series of 100,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock which reads as follows: 
  
 There is hereby designated, out of the authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, a series thereof, and the number of shares,
voting powers, designation, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to those set forth in the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, which are applicable to the Preferred Stock of all series), shall be as follows: 
  
 1. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. There is hereby established a series of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the
Corporation, and the designation and certain terms, powers, preferences and other rights of the shares of such series, and certain qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon, are hereby fixed as follows: 
  
 (i) The distinctive serial designation of this series shall be “Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” (hereinafter called “this Series”). Each share of this Series shall be identical in all respects with the other shares of this Series except as to the dates from and after which dividends
thereon shall be cumulative. 
  
 (ii) The number of shares in
this Series shall initially be 100,000, which number may from time to time be increased or decreased (but not below the number then outstanding) by the Board of Directors. Shares of this Series purchased by the Corporation shall be canceled and
shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series. Shares of this Series may be issued in fractional shares, which fractional shares shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional
share, to all rights of a holder of a whole share of this Series. 
  
 (iii) The holders of full or fractional shares of this Series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of funds legally available therefor, dividends, (A) on each date that dividends or
other distributions (other than dividends or distributions payable in Common Stock of the Corporation) are payable on or in respect of Common Stock comprising part of the Reference Package (as defined below), in an amount per whole share of this
Series equal to the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions (other than dividends or distributions payable in Common Stock of the Corporation) that would be payable on such date to a holder of the Reference Package and (B) on the last
day of March, June, September and December in each year, in an amount per whole share of this Series equal to the excess (if any) of $100 over the aggregate dividends paid per whole share of this Series during the three-month period ending on such
last day. Each such dividend shall be paid to the holders of record of shares of this Series on the date, not exceeding 60 days preceding such dividend or distribution payment date, fixed for that purpose by the Board of Directors in advance of
payment of each particular dividend or distribution. Dividends on each full and each fractional share of this Series shall be cumulative from the date such full or fractional share is originally issued; provided that any such full or fractional
share originally issued after a dividend record date and on or prior to the dividend payment date to which such record date relates shall not be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such dividend payment date or any amount in respect of the
period from such original issuance to such dividend payment date. 
  

 A-1 

 The term “Reference Package” shall initially mean 10,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time (A) declare or pay a dividend on any Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (B) subdivide any Common Stock or (C) combine any Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, then and in each such case the Reference Package after such event shall be the Common Stock that a holder of the Reference Package immediately prior to such event would hold thereafter as a result thereof.

  
 Holders of shares of this Series shall not be entitled to any
dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on this Series. 
  
 So long as any shares of this Series are outstanding, no dividend (other than a dividend in Common Stock or in any other stock ranking junior to this
Series as to dividends and upon liquidation) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon the Common Stock or upon any other stock ranking junior to this Series as to dividends or upon liquidation,
nor shall any Common Stock nor any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with this Series as to dividends or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or
made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to this Series as to dividends and upon liquidation), unless,
in each case, the full cumulative dividends (including the dividend to be due upon payment of such dividend, distribution, redemption, purchase or other acquisition) on all outstanding shares of this Series shall have been, or shall
contemporaneously be, paid. 
  
 (iv) In the event of any merger,
consolidation, reclassification or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of this Series shall at the same
time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per whole share equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, that a holder of the Reference Package would be entitled to
receive as a result of such transaction. 
  
 (v) In the event of
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of full and fractional shares of this Series shall be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made on any date to the
holders of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to this Series upon liquidation, to be paid in full an amount per whole share of this Series equal to the greater of (A) $100 or (B) the aggregate amount distributed or
to be distributed prior to such date in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up to a holder of the Reference Package (such greater amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidation Preference”), together with
accrued dividends to such distribution or payment date, whether or not earned or declared. If such payment shall have been made in full to all holders of shares of this Series, the holders of shares of this Series as such shall have no right or
claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. 
  
 In
the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of shares of this Series upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all
amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section (v), no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of any other class or series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the shares of this
Series upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of this Series, ratably in proportion to the full distributable, amounts for which holders of all such parity
shares are respectively entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. 
  
 Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of this Series then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section (v) before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior upon liquidation to
this Series. 
  

 For the purposes of this Section (v), the consolidation or merger of, or binding share exchange by, the
Corporation with any other corporation shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation. 
  
 (vi) The shares of this Series shall not be redeemable. 
  
 (vii) In addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each whole
share of this Series shall, on any matter, vote as a class with any other capital stock comprising part of the Reference Package and voting on such matter and shall have the number of votes thereon that a holder of the Reference Package would have.
