Section 3.    Dividends.
(a)    Dividends shall, with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Price, together with any previously declared but unpaid dividends in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, and accumulate annually (or, if a dividend is paid on Common Stock more frequent than annually, at any time in which such dividend is paid on Common Stock, and such date, if applicable, the “Common Stock Dividend Date”) at the Dividend Rate for each year that such share is outstanding, to and including the Dividend Payment Date with respect to such year. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, including Series A PIK Shares (which shall also receive dividends at the Dividend Rate each year or, if applicable, the Common Stock Dividend Date), shall accumulate on a daily basis (at the Dividend Rate assuming a 365 day year), whether or not declared. Holders shall be entitled to receive prior to any distributions made in respect of any Junior Stock in respect of the same year the amount that would have been payable if such dividend had been paid in cash (the “PIK Dividend Amount”) to be paid by delivering to the Holders a number of Series A PIK Shares equal to the quotient of (x) the applicable PIK Dividend Amount divided by (y) the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Price (such dividend, a “PIK Dividend”). Such delivery shall be made by recording the issuance of the Series A PIK Shares on the books and records of the Transfer Agent in the names of the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock on the relevant Dividend Record Date, irrespective of when certificates representing such Series A PIK Shares, if any, are actually issued and delivered to such holders.
(b)    To the extent the Board of Directors so declares, PIK Dividends shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date for the year ending on or immediately prior to such Dividend Payment Date, or, if applicable, on each Common Stock Dividend Date, to the Holders as they appear on the Company’s stock register at the Close of Business on the relevant Dividend Record Date. If any Dividend Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of PIK Dividends declared under Section 3(a) with respect to such Dividend Payment Date, or, if applicable, on such Common Stock Dividend Date, will be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or dividends on such payment will accrue or accumulate, as the case may be, in respect of such delay. Accrued and unpaid dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock for any past dividend periods (including unpaid dividends compounding thereon) may be declared and paid at any time to Holders and, for the avoidance of doubt, all 

accrued and accumulated dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are prior in preference to any dividends on the Common Stock and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions or redemptions are made, on the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock (other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock or repurchases pursuant to binding contractual commitments of Common Stock held by employees, directors or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services). 
(c)    In the event of a Breach by the Company, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to timely pay to the Holders any PIK Dividend, the Holders shall be entitled to an increase in the Dividend Rate by an increment of two percent (2.0%) per annum (e.g., initially from ten percent (10.0%) to twelve percent (12.0%)) for all periods of time during which a Breach is continuing. If at any time or from time to time a Breach pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Breach” as provided in Section 2 is not cured within three (3) months of its occurrence, then the majority of the Holders shall have the right to designate a natural person (which such natural person may be a Holder or Affiliate thereof) (such individual, a “Series A Board Observer”) to observe all matters submitted to or considered by the Board of Directors until such time as the event giving rise to such Breach is cured. 
(d)    The Company shall not issue fractional shares in respect of any dividend payment. If a dividend would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock, each fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Section 4.    Special Rights.
(a)    In accordance with the Organizational Documents, Holders shall be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis, giving hypothetical effect to the Conversion Return in the hypothetical conversion of Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock, with the holders of Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, and Holders shall have any additional voting or consent rights from time to time specifically required by the DGCL.
(b)    So long as there are any shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of holders of Common Stock required by the Organizational Documents or the DGCL, the affirmative consent of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, and excluding such shares owned by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, shall be necessary for effectuating:
(i)    any repeal, amendment, modification or alteration of, or supplement to any Organizational Document, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the effect of which would be to adversely affect the powers, preferences or other rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock or any of its Holders, whether directly or indirectly;
(ii)    any (A) increase by the Company of the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock or (B) issuance of any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the Issue Date; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to the issuances of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a dividend pursuant to Section 3;
(iii)    any issuance by the Company or any Subsidiary or Controlled Affiliate of the Company of any preferred Equity Securities or any other securities convertible into preferred Equity Securities in any such Subsidiary or Controlled Affiliate of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to issuances of such securities to the Company or another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company;
(iv)    any issuance, authorization or creation by the Company or any Subsidiary or Controlled Affiliate of the Company of, or any increase by the Company or any Subsidiary or Controlled Affiliate of the Company in the issued or authorized amount of, any class or series of Senior Stock, Parity Stock or other security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any shares of Senior Stock or Parity Stock; 
(v)    any consummation of a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event or entry by the Company into any Fundamental Transaction which would prevent the Holders from converting or redeeming, in full, each Holder’s shares of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations; or
(vi)    any reclassification, alternation or amendment to any Capital Stock of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates if such reclassification, alternation or amendment would render such Capital 

Stock a Senior Stock, Parity Stock or other security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any shares of Senior Stock or Parity Stock.
Section 5.    Liquidation Rights.
(a)    Liquidation Preference. Upon any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, each share of Series A Preferred Stock, including Series A PIK Shares that would be issuable in respect of accrued and unpaid dividends, shall be entitled to receive, in preference to any distribution to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to an amount that is (or, (x) if there is sufficient liquidity, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, at the election of each Holder or (y) in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition thereof, an amount in cash per share) (the “Liquidation Preference”) equal to the greater of: 
(i)    the Initial Liquidation Preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, recapitalizations or similar events); 
(ii)    an amount that results in the Holders achieving the Base Return Amount; and
(iii)    the amount such Holder would have received had such Holder converted his shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and shared in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as a holder of Common Stock; 
provided; however, that in lieu of receiving the Liquidation Preference in cash (if applicable pursuant to this Section 5(a)), each Holder may elect to convert his or her shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as the holders of Common Stock with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Holder receiving a number of shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to such Holder receiving the Liquidation Preference in cash (with each fractional share being rounded up to the nearest whole share); provided, further, that the Company may elect for the Holders to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) to the consummation of a transaction contemplated by clauses (i), (ii), or (v) of the definition of “Deemed Liquidation Event” and share in the proceeds and other consideration of such transaction as the holders of Common Stock with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Holder receiving a number of shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to such Holder receiving the Liquidation Preference in cash, which, for purposes of clarification, shall consist of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to the greater of the amounts in cash per share of Common Stock resulting from the calculations pursuant to each of Section 5(a)(i), Section 5(a)(ii) and Section 5(a)(iii) (with each fractional share being rounded up to the nearest whole share).
(b)    The Liquidation Preference shall be paid no later than:
(i)    in the case of a Liquidation Event, the earliest date that distributions in respect of such Liquidation Event are made to any other class of series of the Company’s Equity Securities or, if no such distributions are made, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such Liquidation Event;
(ii)in the case a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition thereof, the earliest date that distributions in respect of such Deemed Liquidation Event are made to any other class of series of the Company’s Equity Securities;
(iii)in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definition thereof, no later than two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of such Deemed Liquidation Event; and 
(iv)in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition thereof, the earliest date on which such payment is permitted under the Bankruptcy Code.
(c)    For purposes of determining the economic equivalence of the Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5, Section 6 or Section 8 the value of a share of Common Stock shall:
(i)     in the case of a transaction contemplated by clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of “Deemed Liquidation Event,” or a transaction contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Fundamental Transaction,” be equal to the payment per share of Common Stock receivable by the holders of Common Stock in such transaction, which, if such payment consists, in whole or in part, of non-cash consideration, the value of such non-cash consideration shall (x) in the case of common stock or other marketable securities, be equal to the greater of (1) ninety percent (90.0%) multiplied by the average of the VWAPs of such security, if 

applicable, for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and (2) the price per share of such Common Stock or other marketable security implied by the aggregate consideration in the definitive documents relating to such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and (y) in all other cases, be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; 
(ii)     in the case of a transaction contemplated by clause (v) of the definition of “Deemed Liquidation Event,” be the price per share of Common Stock in the Qualified IPO; 
(iii)     in the case of an occurrence contemplated by clauses (iii) or (iv) of the definition of “Deemed Liquidation Event,” or by clause (iv) of the definition of “Fundamental Transaction,” or in the case of a redemption contemplated by Section 6, be the average of the VWAPs of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding the Deemed Liquidation Event or Fundamental Transaction, as the case may be; and
(iv)     in all other cases, be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 
(d)    If upon any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the Liquidation Preference to which Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5(a), the Holders shall share ratably (together, as applicable, with any Parity Stock) in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Company in proportion to the respective Liquidation Preference which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate upon such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full, and the Company shall not make any payments to the holders of Common Stock or any Junior Stock. 
(e)After the payment in full to the Holders of the amounts provided for in this Section 5, the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company in respect of their ownership of such Series A Preferred Stock.
Section 6.Holder Optional Redemption.
(a)    Subject to Applicable Laws, including U.S. Aviation Laws, from and after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date, each Holder shall have the right (such right, including the proviso to this Section 6(a), the “Holder Redemption Right”) to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference (which, for the avoidance of doubt, can be elected in cash at the Holder’s sole discretion); provided, that Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference (which, for the avoidance of doubt, can be elected in cash at the Holder’s sole discretion). 
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 6(a), prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date, each Holder shall also have the right to exercise the Holder Redemption Right upon the occurrence of any of the following: 
(i)    a Breach but only during the continuation thereof; or
(ii)    on or immediately prior to the consummation of any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event; provided, that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(a), the Holder Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 6(b)(ii) shall be payable in shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to an amount that is equal to the Liquidation Preference (or, (x) if there is sufficient liquidity, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, at the election of each Holder or (y) in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition thereof, an amount in cash, as elected at the Holder’s sole discretion, equal to the Liquidation Preference).
(c)    The Holders executing the Holder Redemption Right from time to time pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(b), with respect to all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock (including Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, requiring the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock), by delivering to the Company a notice of redemption (the “Holder Redemption Notice”). Such Holder Redemption Notice shall be in writing and include the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed from the Holders (the “Holder Redemption Shares”). 
(d)    Within five (5) Business Days of a receipt of a Holder Redemption Notice, the Company shall deliver a notice (the “Final Company Redemption Notice”) that states (i) the Holder Redemption Date, (ii) the number 

of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (as set forth in the Holder Redemption Notice), (iii) the Liquidation Preference per share at which the Holder Redemption Shares are to be redeemed, and (iv) the place where any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be surrendered for payment. 
(e)    The Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent the Liquidation Preference sufficient to redeem each of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to which the Company has delivered a Final Company Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6(c) no later than the open of business on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the delivery of the Final Company Redemption Notice (such date, the “Holder Redemption Date”), and the Company shall, at the time of such deposit, give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to deliver the applicable Liquidation Preference to the Holders for each of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as set forth in the Final Company Redemption Notice. 
If a Final Company Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Holder Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in providing to the Holders payment for their Holder Redemption Shares as stated in the Final Company Redemption Notice, (i) all dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue, (ii) shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be deemed no longer outstanding and (iii) all other rights with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the redemption payment for their Holder Redemption Shares.
The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to make the redemption payment for the Holder Redemption Shares), and the holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income. Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason, including redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two (2) years after the Holder Redemption Date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption shall have recourse only to the Company. 
Notwithstanding any Final Company Redemption Notice, there shall be no redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption until funds sufficient to make the redemption payment for all Holder Redemption Shares have been deposited by the Company with the Paying Agent.
(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Section 8, the Company shall not have any right to require mandatory redemption of any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Section 7.    Holder Optional Conversion.
(a)    Right to Convert. 
(i)        At any time and from time to time following the Issue Date, each Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at such Holder’s sole discretion, into a whole number of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (with each fractional share being rounded up to the nearest whole share) (such right, the “Conversion Right”) equal to (A) the Initial Liquidation Preference (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock) divided by (B) the Conversion Price (such amount, the “Conversion Return”) and then multiplied by (C) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted (including any accrued and unpaid PIK Dividends thereon) (the “Converted Shares”).
(ii)    In addition to the rights set forth in Section 7(a), at any time and from time to time following the Issue Date, the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have the right to (i) convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including any accrued and unpaid PIK Dividends thereon) into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the Conversion Return multiplied by (y) the Converted Shares or (ii) convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into substantially equivalent securities of one or more of the Company’s domestic Subsidiaries.
(iii)    In the event the Company delivers a Final Company Redemption Notice to a Holder with respect to any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6, the Conversion Rights with respect to the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the Close of Business on the last full day preceding the Holder Redemption Date, unless the Liquidation Preference for the Holder Redemption Share is not fully paid on such Holder Redemption Date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. 

In the event of a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the Close of Business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any amounts distributable on such event to the Holders in respect thereof.
(b)    Mechanics of Conversion. 
(i)        In order for a Holder to voluntarily convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for any shares of Certificated Preferred Stock, if applicable, at the office of the Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Company in the event the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are uncertificated pursuant to Section 11(a)), together with written notice (such notice, a “Holder Conversion Notice”) of the number of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that such Holder elects to convert. Such notice shall state such Holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates, if applicable, for shares of Common Stock to be issued (or, in the event the shares of Common Stock are to be uncertificated pursuant to Section 11(a), the name of the Holder or the name or names of such Holder’s nominees to be recorded upon the transfer books of the Company). If required by the Company, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder of record or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 
(ii)    The Close of Business on the date of receipt by the Transfer Agent (or by the Company if the Company serves as its own Transfer Agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), if applicable, and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such Holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock; provided, however, that, if the shares of Common Stock shall be uncertificated at such time, the Company shall record ownership of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion upon the transfer books of the Company.
(iii)    The Company shall at all times when the Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 7, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its outside counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
(iv)    All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.
(v)    Upon any such conversion pursuant to this Section 7, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made for any accrued and unpaid or declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion thereof.

(vi)    The Company shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
(vii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Holder Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company following the submission (confidential or otherwise) of a registration statement to the Commission in connection with an initial public offering, the conversion may, at the option of the Company, be conditioned upon the closing of such initial public offering, in which event the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall not be deemed to have converted such shares until following the closing of such initial public offering.
Section 8.    Fundamental Transaction Make-Whole. In the event the Company undergoes a Fundamental Transaction, then the Company shall have the right (such right, the “Call Right”) to convert all (but not less than all) of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at such time (including any accrued and unpaid PIK Dividends thereon) (the date of such conversion, the “Call Date”) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Fundamental Transaction so that the Holders share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Fundamental Transaction as holders of Common Stock, with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Holder receiving a number of shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to such Holder receiving, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, (i) the Liquidation Preference, which, for purposes of clarification, shall consist of the number of shares of Common Stock that would be economically equivalent to the greater of the amounts in cash per share of Common Stock resulting from the calculations pursuant to each of Section 5(a)(i), Section 5(a)(ii) or Section 5(a)(iii) (substituting “Fundamental Transaction” for “Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event” appearing therein) multiplied by the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Percentage plus (ii) if positive, the present value (computed using a discount rate based on United States Treasury securities with a maturity closest to the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date, plus 0.5%) as of the Call Date of the expected amount of all remaining dividends that would accrue had the Company not exercised the Call Right between (inclusive of such dates) the Call Date and fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date multiplied by the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Percentage.
Section 9.    Additional Holder Rights.
(a)    Adjustment of Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Prices Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company shall at any time after the Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the initial purchase price of $36.37 per share of Common Stock (which shall be the initial “Conversion Price”), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined in accordance with the following formula: 
CP2 = CP1 * ((A + B) ÷ (A + C))
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply: 
(i)    “CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock
(ii)    “CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(iii)    “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7); 
(iv)    “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issuance by CP1); and

(v)    “C” shall mean the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction. 
(b)Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. In the event the Company shall at any time after the Issue Date make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock (other than an odd-lot tender offer) for consideration per share of Common Stock exceeding the average of the VWAPs of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding such tender or exchange offer, then the Conversion Price shall be increased based on the following formula:
	
		
	CP2 = CP1 *
	AC + (SP2 × OS2)

	OS1 × SP2

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply: 
(i)        “CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires
(ii)     “CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires
(iii)        “AC” shall mean the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer
(iv)        “OS1” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender or exchange offer)
(v)        “OS2” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender or exchange offer)
(vi)         “SP2” shall mean the average of the VWAPs of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days immediately preceding such tender or exchange offer
(c)    Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 9, the consideration received by the Company for the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: 
(i)    Cash and Property. Such consideration shall: 
(A)insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; 
(B)insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; and
(C)in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received for the Additional Shares of Common Stock, computed as provided in clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(ii)    Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 9(h), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing: 
(A)    the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

(B)    the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(d)    Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 9(d) shall become effective at the Close of Business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(e)    Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in Additional Shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the Close of Business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: 
(i)    the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the Close of Business on such record date; and
(ii)    the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the Close of Business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the Close of Business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 9(e) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the Holders simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(f)    Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Equity Securities of the Company (other than (x) a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock or (y) prior to conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, as distribution of rights as contemplated by this Section 9(f) until such time as the rights separate from the Common Stock and become exercisable, at which time the provisions of this Section 9(f) shall apply to the distribution of such rights) or in other property and the provisions of Section 3 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the Holders shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(g)    Adjustments for Merger or Reorganization, Etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a Deemed Liquidation Event or a transaction covered by Section 9(a), Section 9(c) or Section 9(e)), then, following any 

such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 9 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 9 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
(h)    Deemed Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock (unless the Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Options or Convertible Securities are themselves Exempted Securities) issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the Close of Business on such record date.
(i)    If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 9(a), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Conversion Price computed upon the original issuance of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this Section 9(h)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lesser of (y) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security and (z) the Conversion Price resulting from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) that occurred between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
(ii)    If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 9(a) (either because the consideration per share of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Issue Date), are revised after the Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Section 9(g)) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
(iii)    Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or any portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance 

or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 9(a), the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or such portion thereof, if applicable) never been issued.
(iv)    If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in this Section 9(h)(iii) shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in Section 9(h)(i) and Section 9(h)(i)). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Section 9(g) at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.
(i)    Notice of Record Date. In the event: 
(i)    The Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security;
(ii)    of any capital reorganization of the Company or any reclassification of the Common Stock; or
(iii)    of any Liquidation Event or any Deemed Liquidation Event,
then, and in each such case, the Company will send or cause to be sent to the Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (y) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (z) the effective date on which such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice; provided, however, that the failure to send any such notice will not affect the validity or enforceability of any action specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
(j)    Shareholder Rights’ Plan. In the event a shareholder rights plan, or similar agreement, is placed into effect with respect to the Company, the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion of their shares pursuant to Section 7, in addition to shares of Common Stock, the same or substantially similar rights as those provided under any such shareholder rights plan. 
Section 10.    Transfers Generally. Subject to applicable law, including U.S. Aviation Law, the Holders may freely sell, transfer or assign or otherwise dispose of, in whole or in part, shares of Series A Preferred Stock to any U.S. Citizen; provided that such sale or transfer is in accordance with the provisions of the Organizational Documents.
Section 11.    Uncertificated Shares; Certificated Shares.
(a)    Uncertificated Shares.
(i)        Form. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless requested in writing by a Holder to the Company, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book entry form as permitted by the Organizational Documents and the DGCL. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Company shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, send to the registered owner thereof an Ownership Notice.

(ii)    Transfer. Transfers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Company kept at an office of the Transfer Agent upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock. The Company may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that such transfer is proper.
(iii)    Ownership Notice. For the purposes of complying with Section 202 of the DGCL, the Company shall cause a notice (an “Ownership Notice”) in the form of Exhibit B to be delivered to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued in uncertificated, book-entry form.
(b)    Certificated Shares.
(i)        Form and Dating. When Series A Preferred Stock is in certificated form (“Certificated Series A Preferred Stock”), the Series A Preferred Stock certificate and the Transfer Agent’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A. The Series A Preferred Stock certificate may have notations, legends or endorsements required by applicable law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company. Each Series A Preferred Stock certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.
(ii)    Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign each Series A Preferred Stock certificate for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
(D)If an Officer whose signature is on a Series A Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Series A Preferred Stock certificate, the Series A Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless.
(E)A Series A Preferred Stock certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Series A Preferred Stock certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Series A Preferred Stock certificate has been authenticated under this Certificate of Designations.
(F)The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company. Such order shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.
(G)The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so. Each reference in this Certificate of Designations to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.
(iii)    Transfer and Exchange. When Certificated Series A Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange:
(H) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and
(I)is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to Sections 11(b)(iii)(B)(1) or (2) below, and is accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:
(1)if such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock is being delivered to the Transfer Agent by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto; or
(2)if such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock is being transferred to the Company or to a “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities 

Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 11(b)(iv).
(iv)    Legends.
(J)Each certificate evidencing Certificated Series A Preferred Stock shall bear the legends with respect to restrictions on transfer substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A.
(K)Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security held in certificated form pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Transfer Agent shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock that does not bear a restrictive legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer (other than the DOT and FAA’s U.S. citizenship requirements) of such Transfer Restricted Security.
(v)    Replacement Certificates. If any of the Series A Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Series A Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Series A Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Series A Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Series A Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent.
(vi)    Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Series A Preferred Stock certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Series A Preferred Stock certificates to the Company. The Company may not issue new Series A Preferred Stock certificates to replace Series A Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Series A Preferred Stock which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.
(c)    Certain Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Series A Preferred Stock.
(i)        To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, if applicable.
(ii)    All shares of Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Certificate of Designations as the shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(iii)    Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Series A Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(iv)    No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Series A Preferred Stock on the transfer books of the Company or the Transfer Agent or upon surrender of any Series A Preferred Stock certificate at the office of the Transfer Agent maintained for that purpose. However, the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Series A Preferred Stock if the Person receiving shares in connection with such transfer or exchange is not the holder thereof.
(d)    No Obligation of the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Certificate of Designations or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Series A Preferred Stock other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Certificate of Designations, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Section 12.    Other Provisions.

(a)    Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives the notice.
(b)    Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired by the Company in any manner, including shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or redeemed or exchanged, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware) upon such reacquisition be automatically cancelled by the Company and shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.

(d)    All notice periods referred to herein shall commence: (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally or by electronic mail, upon confirmation of receipt, (ii) on the first (1st) Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier service, postage prepaid or (iii) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

All payments required hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the Holders in accordance with the payment instructions as such Holders may deliver by written notice to the Company from time to time.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, in the event of a failure by the Company to fulfill its obligations with respect to the payment of dividends or the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in this Certificate of Designations for any reason, (i) the Liquidation Preference with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall increase with respect to any such unpaid dividends, (ii) to the extent provided for in this Certificate of Designations, each Holder shall have all rights under this Certificate of Designations, including in accordance with Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 9, together with any other rights which such Holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights that such Holder may have pursuant to applicable law and (iii) each Holder’s rights with respect to any unfulfilled redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock exists upon the exercise of such Holder’s redemption rights pursuant to this Certificate of Designations and shall continue to exist until the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, and no failure by the Company to perform its obligations under this Certificate of Designations for any such reason shall relieve the Company of liability for such obligations.
(g)    Any notice from the Company may be provided to the Holders by notice to the Transfer Agent and shall be deemed given upon delivery of such notice to the Transfer Agent to the extent the agreement between the Company and the Transfer Agent provides for delivery by the Transfer Agent of such notice to the Holders. Notice may also be given directly to any Holder by any manner allowed under the Bylaws and applicable law.

 Exhibit 10.1 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into this 24th day of December, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Richard K. Matros (“Mr. Matros”) and Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (“Sabra” or the “Company”). 
 WHEREAS, Mr. Matros currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and President of Sabra; 
 WHEREAS, Mr. Matros and Sabra are currently party to an
Employment Agreement dated as of November 22, 2010 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, Mr. Matros and
Sabra desire this Agreement to be effective immediately and to govern the employment relationship between Mr. Matros and the Company from and after the Effective Date, and, as of the Effective Date, supersedes and negates all previous
agreements and understandings with respect to such relationship (including, without limitation, the Prior Employment Agreement). 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, Mr. Matros and Sabra agree as follows: 

Section 1: Term of Employment. Sabra agrees to continue to employ Mr. Matros and Mr. Matros agrees to accept
continued employment with Sabra, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 hereof, the initial term of employment of Mr. Matros under this Agreement is for a
period of three (3) years, commencing on the Effective Date, and terminating on the third anniversary of the Effective Date. On the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, this
Agreement shall be renewed for a one (1) year period (the period from and after the Effective Date until the termination of this Agreement is referred to as the “Term”) unless (i) earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 4 and 5 hereof, or (ii) written notice of non-renewal is given by either party to the other at least sixty (60) days prior to the anniversary of the Effective Date occurring in any given
year, in which case this Agreement shall be terminated on anniversary of the Effective Date occurring in the second year following the year in which such notice of non-renewal was provided. 

Section 2: Duties and Responsibilities. Mr. Matros is employed as CEO and President of Sabra and is engaged as
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sabra (“Board of Directors”). During the Term, Mr. Matros shall devote his full employment time, efforts, skills and attention exclusively to advancing and rendering profitable the business
interests of Sabra, its direct and indirect subsidiaries and their lines of business; provided, however, that to the extent the following activities do not materially interfere or conflict with his duties and responsibilities hereunder and as
imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations, Mr. Matros may (i) continue to serve as a member of the boards of directors of the companies previously disclosed in writing to the Board of Directors, (ii) engage in charitable,
civic and religious affairs and (iii) with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, serve as a member of the board of directors of other companies, subject to the provisions of Sabra’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, as in
effect from time to time. Mr. Matros agrees to report to and render such services, commensurate 

 
with his positions as Chairman or CEO and President, as the Board of Directors may from time to time reasonably direct. In the event that Mr. Matros serves as director or senior executive
officer of one or more direct or indirect subsidiaries of Sabra, he shall do so without additional compensation. 
 Section 3: Compensation,
Benefits and Related Matters. 
  

	 	a.	 Annual Base Salary. Sabra shall pay during the Term to Mr. Matros a base salary at an annual
rate of $925,000 (“Base Salary”), such salary to be payable in accordance with Sabra’s customary payroll practices (but not less frequently than monthly). Annually during the Term, on or prior to each anniversary of the Effective
Date, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) shall review Mr. Matros’ annual base salary for possible merit increases in its sole discretion, and any increase
in Mr. Matros’ annual base salary rate shall thereafter constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	 Cash Bonus/Incentive Compensation. In addition to the Base Salary provided for in
Section 3(a) above, Mr. Matros shall be entitled to receive an annual bonus (“Bonus”) in accordance with the Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”), as it may be amended from time to time by the
Compensation Committee; provided, however, that no amendment shall be effective if it reduces the percentage of Base Salary that would constitute the target amount of the Bonus as compared to the prior year, unless such amendment has been agreed to
in writing by Mr. Matros. The Bonus shall be payable at the same time as other annual bonuses are paid to senior management personnel with respect to that fiscal year (but no later than March 15 of the following calendar
year). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 5, in order to have earned and to be paid any such Bonus, Mr. Matros must be employed by Sabra on the date of such payment. 

 

	 	c.	 Equity Awards. Mr. Matros shall participate in such equity incentive plans of the Company as
are made available generally to senior executive officers of the Company. Any grants under such plans shall be made by the Board of Directors (or appropriate committee thereof) in its sole discretion and such plans are subject to change during the
Term at the sole discretion of the Company. 

  

	 	d.	 Retirement and Benefit Plans. During the Term, Mr. Matros shall be entitled to participate
in all retirement plans, health benefit programs, insurance programs and other similar employee welfare benefit arrangements available generally to senior executive officers of Sabra from time to time. Such plans, programs and arrangements are
subject to change during the Term at the sole discretion of the Company. 

  

	 	e.	 Paid Time Off. During the Term, Mr. Matros shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance
with Sabra’s policy for senior executive officers. 

  
 2 

	 	f.	 Indemnification Liability/Insurance. Mr. Matros shall be entitled to indemnification by
Sabra to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the charter and bylaws of Sabra. In addition, Sabra shall maintain during Mr. Matros’ employment customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and
Mr. Matros shall be covered by such insurance. 

  

	 	g.	 Taxes. All compensation payable to Mr. Matros shall be subject to withholding for all
applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes, and similar mandatory withholdings. 

  

	 	h.	 Expenses. Mr. Matros shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred by him in
connection with the discharge of his duties hereunder. All such expense reimbursement shall be subject to and shall be submitted, documented and paid in accordance with the expense reimbursement policies of the Company, as such policies may change
from time to time. Mr. Matros agrees that he will provide such documentation to the Company promptly after expenses are incurred. 

Section 4: Termination. Sabra may, at any time, in its sole discretion, terminate Mr. Matros as Chairman, CEO and
President and from all other positions with Sabra and its direct and indirect subsidiaries; provided, however, that Sabra shall provide Mr. Matros with at least five (5) business days prior written notice of such termination and shall make
the payments associated with such termination in accordance with Section 5. Notwithstanding any provision in Section 1 hereof, the Term shall end on the date of Mr. Matros’ termination of employment in accordance with this
Agreement. 
  

	 	a.	 Termination by Sabra for “Good Cause.” Sabra may at any time, by written notice to
Mr. Matros at least five (5) business days prior to the date of termination specified in such notice and specifying the acts or omissions believed to constitute Good Cause (as defined below), terminate Mr. Matros as Chairman, CEO and
President and from all other positions with Sabra and its direct and indirect subsidiaries for Good Cause. Sabra may relieve Mr. Matros of his duties and responsibilities pending a final determination of whether Good Cause exists, and such
action shall not constitute Good Reason (as defined below) for purposes of this Agreement. Payment to Mr. Matros upon a termination for Good Cause is set forth in Section 5(a). “Good Cause” for termination shall mean any one of
the following: 

  

	 	1.	 Any felony criminal conviction (including conviction pursuant to a nolo contendere plea) under the laws of the
United States or any state or other political subdivision thereof which, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, renders Mr. Matros unsuitable for the position of either Chairman or CEO and President; 

 

	 	2.	 Any act of financial malfeasance or financial impropriety, as determined by the Board of Directors in good
faith; 

  
 3 

	 	3.	 Mr. Matros’ continued willful failure to perform the duties reasonably requested by the Board of
Directors and commensurate with his positions as Chairman, CEO and President (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to his physical or mental condition) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to him
by the Board of Directors, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that he has not substantially performed his duties, and which performance is not substantially corrected by him within ten
(10) days of receipt of such demand; 

  

	 	4.	 Any material workplace misconduct or willful failure to comply with Sabra’s general policies and
procedures as they may exist from time to time by Mr. Matros which, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, renders Mr. Matros unsuitable for the position of either Chairman or CEO and President; 

 

	 	5.	 Any material breach by Mr. Matros of the provisions of this Agreement which has not been cured by
Mr. Matros thirty (30) days following delivery of notice to Mr. Matros specifying such material breach, or the repetition of any such material breach after it has been cured; or 

 

	 	6.	 Any act of moral turpitude, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. 

 

	 	b.	 Termination by Sabra without Good Cause. Sabra may at any time, by written notice to
Mr. Matros at least five (5) business days prior to the date of termination specified in such notice, terminate Mr. Matros as Chairman, CEO and President and from all other positions with Sabra and its direct and indirect
subsidiaries. If such termination is made by Sabra other than by reason of Mr. Matros’ death, Disability (as defined in Section 4(e)) or expiration of the Term, and Good Cause does not exist, such termination shall be treated as a
termination without Good Cause and Mr. Matros shall be entitled to payment in accordance with Section 5(b). 

  

	 	c.	 Termination by Mr. Matros for Good Reason. Mr. Matros may,
at any time at his option within sixty (60) days following the initial existence of the particular event or condition that constitutes Good Reason (as defined below), resign for Good Reason as Chairman, CEO and President and from all other
positions with Sabra and its direct and indirect subsidiaries by written notice to Sabra at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of termination specified in such notice; provided, however, that Sabra has not substantially corrected the
event or condition that would constitute Good Reason prior to the date of termination. Payment to Mr. Matros upon a termination for Good Reason is set forth in Section 5(b). Mr. Matros’ continued employment shall not, by itself,
constitute consent to or a waiver of rights with respect to any circumstances constituting Good Reason hereunder. 

  
 4 

 “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any one of the following events or
conditions without Mr. Matros’ written consent: 
 (i)    A meaningful and detrimental reduction in
Mr. Matros’ authority, duties or responsibilities or a meaningful and detrimental change in his reporting responsibilities; (ii) A material failure of Sabra to comply with the compensation provisions set forth in Sections 3(a) and
3(b) or benefits provisions set forth in Sections 3(d) through 3(f) (collectively, the “Benefits”) (other than a reduction of Benefits uniformly applicable to other members of senior management); or (iii) A material relocation of
Mr. Matros’ principal work location from its current location in Orange County, California; 
 provided that (i) Sabra
is provided with written notice of such breach within thirty (30) days following the initial existence of the particular event or condition claimed to constitute Good Reason, (ii) Sabra fails to remedy such event or condition within thirty
(30) days of receiving such written notice thereof, and (iii) Mr. Matros terminates his employment with Sabra within the time periods prescribed under this Section 4(c). 

 

	 	d.	 Voluntary Resignation. Mr. Matros may, at any time at his option with thirty
(30) calendar days written notice to Sabra, voluntarily resign without Good Reason as Chairman, CEO and President and from all other positions with Sabra and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Payment to Mr. Matros upon his voluntary
resignation without Good Reason is set forth in Section 5(a). Resignation from Sabra shall automatically constitute resignation from all positions of any subsidiary. 

 

	 	e.	 Death or Disability. Mr. Matros’ employment under this Agreement and the Term shall
terminate automatically as of the date of Mr. Matros’ death. Sabra may, at any time by written notice to Mr. Matros at least five (5) business days prior to the date of termination specified in such notice, terminate
Mr. Matros as Chairman, CEO and President and from all other positions with Sabra and its direct or indirect subsidiaries by reason of his Disability. “Disability” shall mean any physical or mental condition or illness that prevents
Mr. Matros from performing his duties hereunder in any material respect for a period of 120 substantially consecutive calendar days, as determined by a physician selected by Sabra or, if Mr. Matros is incapacitated, reasonably acceptable
to the Director of Medicine or equivalent senior physician at Hoag Hospital. Payment to Mr. Matros upon his termination by reason of his death or Disability is set forth in Section 5(a). 

Section 5: Payments Upon Termination. 
  

	 	a.	 Payment Upon Termination for Good Cause, Resignation without Good Reason, Death or Disability. In
the event of termination of employment during the Term pursuant to Sections 4(a), 4(d) or 4(e), Mr. Matros, or his estate where 

  
 5 

	 	
applicable, shall be paid any earned but unpaid Base Salary through the date of Mr. Matros’ separation from service with Sabra (the “Severance Date”) and any accrued and
unused paid time off through the Severance Date, which shall be paid to Mr. Matros or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash upon or promptly following (and in all events within thirty (30) days after) the
Severance Date (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). In addition, in the case of a termination of employment pursuant to Section 4(e), but not Sections 4(a) or 4(d), Mr. Matros or his estate shall be paid (i) any
accrued and unpaid Bonus for any prior fiscal year, which shall be paid to Mr. Matros or his estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash at the time that annual bonuses are paid to senior management personnel with respect to
that fiscal year, but in any event within seventy-four (74) days after the Severance Date, and (ii) a pro rata portion of the Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (determined by multiplying the Bonus Mr. Matros
would have received, if any, based upon actual performance had his employment continued through the end of the fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the year of termination that Mr. Matros is employed by
the Company and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable), which shall be paid at the time that annual bonuses are paid to senior management personnel with respect to that fiscal year, but in any event within seventy-four (74) days
after the conclusion of the fiscal year to which such Bonus relates. Mr. Matros shall also receive his vested benefits in accordance with the terms of Sabra’s compensation and benefit plans, and his participation in such plans and all
other perquisites shall cease as of the Severance Date, except to the extent Mr. Matros may elect to continue coverage under any welfare benefit plans as required by Part 6, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended. Upon a termination under Section 4(a), 4(d) or 4(e), Mr. Matros shall not be entitled to any compensation or benefits under this Agreement except as set forth in this Section 5(a). 

 

	 	b.	 Payment Upon Termination by Sabra without Good Cause or by Mr. Matros
for Good Reason. In the event of a termination of Mr. Matros’ employment during the Term pursuant to Sections 4(b) or 4(c), subject to the provisions of Section 7(f): 

 

	 	1.	 Mr. Matros shall be entitled to a severance benefit in an amount equal to (i) the sum of
Mr. Matros’ then current annual Base Salary and the average of Mr. Matros’ Bonus actually earned (including the value on the vesting date of any restricted stock unit awards actually becoming payable to Mr. Matros in lieu of
a cash Bonus) for the three (3) calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Severance Date occurs (the “Average Bonus”), multiplied by 2.25, plus (ii) any accrued and unpaid Bonus for any prior fiscal
year, plus (iii) a pro rata portion of the Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (determined by multiplying the Bonus Mr. Matros would have received, if any, based upon actual performance had his employment continued
through the end of the fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of 

  
 6 

	 	
days during the year of termination that Mr. Matros is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable). The amount payable pursuant to clause
(i) above shall be paid to Mr. Matros in a lump sum cash payment on (or within ten (10) days following) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Severance Date. The amount payable
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be paid to Mr. Matros at the time that annual bonuses are paid to senior management personnel with respect to the applicable fiscal year, but in any event within seventy-four (74) days after the
Severance Date. The amount payable pursuant to clause (iii) shall be paid to Mr. Matros at the time that annual bonuses are paid to senior management personnel with respect to the applicable fiscal year in which the Severance Date occurs,
but in any event within seventy-four (74) days after the conclusion of such fiscal year. 

  

	 	2.	 In the event such termination occurs on or within two years following the closing date of a Change in Control,
Mr. Matros shall not be entitled to the amount described in Section 5(b)(1) above but shall instead be entitled to an amount equal to (i) the sum of his then current annual Base Salary and the Average Bonus, multiplied by 2.25, plus
(ii) any accrued and unpaid Bonus for any prior fiscal year, plus (iii) a pro rata portion of the target Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs (assuming the Company achieves 100% of the financial performance target or
targets for such fiscal year that are utilized in determining the amount of the Bonus and determined by multiplying the amount Mr. Matros would have received had his employment continued through the end of the fiscal year by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days during the performance year of termination that Mr. Matros is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable). The amounts payable pursuant to clauses (i) and
(iii) above shall be paid to Mr. Matros in a lump sum on (or within ten (10) days following) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Severance Date. The amount payable pursuant to clause
(ii) above shall be paid to Mr. Matros at the time that annual bonuses are paid to senior management personnel with respect to the applicable fiscal year, but in any event within seventy-four (74) days after the Severance Date.

  

	 	3.	 Mr. Matros’ participation in any other retirement and benefit plans and perquisites shall cease as of the
Severance Date, except Sabra shall pay or reimburse Mr. Matros for his premiums charged to continue medical coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) under Sabra’s health plans for Mr. Matros
and his eligible dependents (as determined under Sabra’s health plans), or, at Mr. Matros’ option (which shall be communicated by written notice to Sabra prior to the month such election is to take effect), provide a separate cash payment
monthly equal to the amount of the COBRA premium until the earlier of (i) the twenty-four-month anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Severance Date occurs or (ii) the date of Mr. Matros

  
 7 

	 	
becomes eligible to participate in a plan of another employer or (iii), as to any of his eligible dependents, the date on which the eligible dependent becomes eligible to participate in a plan of
another employer. Any cash payment due to Mr. Matros pursuant to this Section 5(b)(3) shall be paid by Sabra not later than the end of the month to which such payment relates. 

 

	 	4.	 Upon any such termination, Mr. Matros shall be entitled to receive any Accrued Obligations payable to
Mr. Matros as set forth in Section 5(a). 

  

	 	5.	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Matros’ right to receive the severance payments described in this
Section 5(b) shall be and is conditioned upon his execution and delivery of (and not revoking) a general release in favor of Sabra, which Sabra shall provide to Mr. Matros within seven (7) days following the Severance Date and shall not be
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, and such other documents and instruments as are reasonably required by Sabra, each of which Mr. Matros shall deliver to Sabra within twenty-one (21) days (or
forty-five (45) days if such longer period of time is required to make the release maximally enforceable under applicable law) after Sabra provides the form of release to Mr. Matros. 

A termination of Mr. Matros’ employment during the Term without Good Cause (other than by reason of his death or Disability) within
six (6) months preceding a Change in Control shall be treated as if such termination occurred on the date of such Change in Control if it is reasonably demonstrated that the termination was at the request of the third party who has taken steps
reasonably calculated to effect such Change in Control or otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of such Change in Control. In such case, Mr. Matros shall be entitled (in addition to the benefits described in Section 5(b)(1)
which were triggered in connection with the original Severance Date) to the difference (if any) between the non-discounted present value of the benefits described in Section 5(b)(2) less the non-discounted present value of the benefits described in Section 5(b)(1) (each determined as of the Severance Date), which difference shall be paid to Mr. Matros upon or within thirty (30) days
following the closing of such Change in Control. 
  

	 	c.	 “Change in Control.” For purposes of this Section 5, a “Change in
Control” shall occur if any of the following events occurs: 

  

	 	1.	 Any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company (an “Acquiring Person”), is or becomes the “beneficial
owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 33 1/3% of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company; 

  
 8 

	 	2.	 Consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least
51% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; 

  

	 	3.	 Consummation of a sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets; 

  

	 	4.	 During any period of not more than two (2) consecutive years (beginning on or after the Effective Date),
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors and any new director (other than a director who is a representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person) whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for
election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination was previously so approved, no
longer constitute a majority of the Board of Directors; 

 provided, however, in no event shall any
acquisition of securities, a change in the composition of the Board of Directors or a merger or other consolidation pursuant to a plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Company (“Chapter 11
Plan”), or a liquidation under the Bankruptcy Code constitute a Change in Control and provided further that in no event shall any transaction be considered a Change in Control if it does not constitute a change in the ownership or
effective control of Sabra or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Sabra’s assets, each within the meaning of Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). In addition, notwithstanding Sections 5(c)(1), 5(c)(2), 5(c)(3) and 5(c)(4), a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred in the event of a sale or conveyance
in which the Company continues as a holding company of an entity or entities that conduct the business or businesses formerly conducted by the Company, or any transaction undertaken for the purpose of reincorporating the Company under the laws of
another jurisdiction, if such transaction does not materially affect the beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock. A Change in Control shall not, by itself, constitute Good Reason hereunder. 

 

	 	d.	 Cooperation. Following the expiration or a termination of this Agreement for any reason,
Mr. Matros shall provide such cooperation as is reasonably required by the Company, including, without limitation, consulting with the Company with respect to litigation and/or matters that relate to facts and circumstances that occurred during
the term of his employment by the Company, and executing such documents and instruments relating to such term of employment as are reasonably requested by Sabra.

 Section 6: Reduction in Compensation to Avoid Excise Tax. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor tax (the “Excise Tax”) applies to any payments, benefits and/or amounts received (or otherwise to be received) by Mr. Matros
pursuant to Section 5(b) or otherwise, including, without limitation, amounts received or deemed received, within the meaning of any provision of the Code, by Mr. Matros as a result of (and not by way of limitation) any automatic vesting,
lapse of restrictions and/or accelerated target or performance achievement provisions, or otherwise, applicable to outstanding grants or awards to Mr. Matros under any of Sabra’s incentive plans (collectively, the “Total
Payments”), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to
the Excise Tax; provided that such reduction to the Total Payments shall be made only if the total after-tax benefit to Mr. Matros is greater after giving effect to such reduction than if no such
reduction had been made. If such a reduction is required, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options that then have a term of one year or less and are then
under-water, then by reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of any other stock options, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of other equity awards, and then by
reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with the payments which are to be paid the farthest in time from the date of the related change in control event. The preceding provisions of this
Section 6 shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing Mr. Matros’ rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. The Company agrees that, prior to and in connection with
any Change in Control, the Company will reasonably consider alternatives (if any) Mr. Matros may have to eliminate or mitigate the impact of any Excise Tax on his Total Payments. 

 

	 	a.	 Determination of Reduction. The amount of the reduction in compensation shall be determined by an
accounting firm retained by Sabra (the “Accounting Firm”) using such formulas as the Accounting Firm deems appropriate. No compensation to Mr. Matros shall be reduced pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 if the Accounting
Firm determines that the payments to Mr. Matros are not subject to an Excise Tax. 

  

	 	b.	 Payment of Excise Tax.    If a reduction in compensation that results in no
Excise Tax being payable does not result in Mr. Matros having a more positive after-tax financial position than he would have enjoyed without the reduction but with the resulting application of the Excise
Tax, then, at the option of Mr. Matros, he can choose to pay the amount of the Excise Tax and avoid the reduction in compensation. The amount of the Excise Tax shall be determined by the Accounting Firm using such formulas as the Accounting
Firm deems appropriate. In the event the Mr. Matros chooses to pay the Excise Tax, he will have no right of reimbursement or payment of additional compensation from the Company. 

  
 10 

 Section 7: Protection of Sabra’s Interests. 

 

	 	a.	 Ownership of Property. Mr. Matros acknowledges and agrees that any and all property
developed, discovered or created by him during the pendency of his employment by the Company, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property is and shall remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Company and Mr. Matros hereby sells, assigns and otherwise transfers all of his right, title and interest in and to such property, if any, to the Company. 

 

	 	b.	 Confidentiality. Mr. Matros agrees that he will not at any time, during or after the term of
this Agreement, except in performance of his obligations to Sabra hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, directly or indirectly disclose to any person or organization any secret or “Confidential Information”
that Mr. Matros may learn or has learned by reason of his association with Sabra and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. For purposes of all of this Section 7 only, “Sabra” shall also include Sabra’s direct and indirect
subsidiaries. The term “Confidential Information” means any information not previously disclosed to the public or to the trade by Sabra’s management with respect to Sabra’s products, services, business practices, facilities and
methods, salary and benefit information, trade secrets and other intellectual property, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential reports, product price lists, pricing information, customer lists, financial information (including revenues, costs or
profits associated with any of Sabra’s products or lines of business), business plans, prospects or opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Matros may truthfully respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process, but
to the extent permitted by law shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought, and shall
assist the Company and such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. Mr. Matros understands that nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit his right (i) to discuss the terms, wages, and working conditions of his
employment to the extent permitted and/or protected by applicable labor laws, (ii) to report Confidential Information in a confidential manner either to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney where such disclosure is
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (iii) to disclose Confidential Information in an anti-retaliation lawsuit or other legal proceeding, so long as that disclosure or filing is
made under seal and Mr. Matros does not otherwise disclose such Confidential Information, except pursuant to court order. The Company encourages Mr. Matros, to the extent legally permitted, to give the Company the earliest possible notice
of any such report or disclosure. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Mr. Matros acknowledges that he may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Confidential
Information that: (a) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is
made in a complaint or other 

  
 11 

	 	
document that is filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that such filing is made under seal. Further, Mr. Matros understands that the Company will not retaliate against him in any
way for any such disclosure made in accordance with the law. In the event a disclosure is made, and Mr. Matros files any type of proceeding against the Company alleging that the Company retaliated against him because of his disclosure,
Mr. Matros may disclose the relevant Confidential Information to his attorney and may use the Confidential Information in the proceeding if (x) Mr. Matros files any document containing the Confidential Information under seal, and
(y) Mr. Matros does not otherwise disclose the Confidential Information except pursuant to court or arbitral order. 

  

	 	c.	 Exclusive Property. Mr. Matros confirms that all Confidential Information is and shall
remain the exclusive property of Sabra. All business records, papers and documents kept or made by Mr. Matros relating to the business of Sabra shall be and remain the property of Sabra. Upon the expiration or termination of
Mr. Matros’ employment with Sabra for any reason or upon the request of Sabra at any time, Mr. Matros shall promptly deliver to Sabra, and shall not without the consent of the Board of Directors, retain copies of, Confidential
Information, or any written materials not previously made available to the public, or records and documents made by Mr. Matros or coming into Mr. Matros’ possession concerning the business or affairs of Sabra. 

 

	 	d.	 Nonsolicitation. Mr. Matros shall not, during his employment under this Agreement, and for
eighteen (18) months following the termination of this Agreement, for whatever reason or cause, in any manner induce, attempt to induce, or assist others to induce, or attempt to induce, any employee, agent, representative or other person
associated with Sabra or any customer, or client of Sabra to terminate his or her association or contract with Sabra, nor in any manner, directly or indirectly, interfere with the relationship between Sabra and any of such persons or entities.
 

  

	 	e.	 Non-Disparagement. Mr. Matros shall not during his
employment under this Agreement and for eighteen (18) months following termination of the Agreement, for whatever reason, make any statements that are intended to or that would reasonably be expected to harm Sabra or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, their respective predecessors, successors, assigns and employees and their respective past, present or future officers, directors, shareholders, employees, trustees, fiduciaries, administrators, agents or representatives. Sabra and its
officers and directors will not make any statements that are intended to or that would reasonably be expected to harm Mr. Matros or his reputation or that reflect negatively on Matros’ performance, skills or ability. 

 

	 	f.	 Violation of Covenants. 

 

	 	1.	 Without intending to limit the remedies available to Sabra, Mr. Matros acknowledges that a breach of any
of the covenants in this Section 7 may result in material irreparable injury to Sabra for which there is no adequate 

  
 12 

	 	
remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, Sabra shall be entitled to obtain a temporary
restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining Mr. Matros from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 7 or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in this
Section 7. 

  

	 	2.	 In the event that Mr. Matros breaches any of the covenants in this Section 7, Sabra shall be entitled
to cease payment of any further compensation or benefits pursuant to Section 5(b) or otherwise (other than compensation payable pursuant to Sections 5(b)(1)(ii) and 5(b)(2)(ii)) and recover from Mr. Matros any amounts paid to him pursuant
to the provisions of Section 5(b)(1)(i), Section 5(b)(2)(i) or Section 5(b)(2)(iii). 

 Section 8: Miscellaneous
Provisions. 
  

	 	a.	 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged
unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by both parties. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement
to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 

 

	 	b.	 Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

  

	 	c.	 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement
and this Agreement shall supersede all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, undertakings and communications of the parties, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Prior Employment Agreement.

  

	 	d.	 Resolution of Disputes. Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement may, at
the election of Mr. Matros or Sabra, be resolved by binding arbitration, to be held in Orange County, California in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. If arbitration is elected, Mr. Matros and
Sabra shall mutually select the arbitrator. If Mr. Matros and Sabra cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator, each party shall select an arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator who shall resolve the dispute.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of Sabra to obtain the injunctive relief described in Section 7(f) pending final resolution of
matters that are sent to arbitration. 

  
 13 

	 	e.	 Attorneys’ Fees. Sabra shall pay or reimburse Mr. Matros on an after-tax basis for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, costs of arbitration and reasonable legal fees and expenses which reflect common practice with respect to the matters involved)
incurred by Mr. Matros if Mr. Matros prevails on the merits of any claim, action or proceeding (i) contesting or otherwise relating to the existence of Good Cause in the event of Mr. Matros’ termination of employment during
the Term for Good Cause; (ii) enforcing any right, benefit or obligation under this Agreement, or otherwise enforcing the terms of this Agreement or any provision thereof; or (iii) asserting or otherwise relating to the existence of Good
Reason in the event of Mr. Matros’ termination of employment during the Term for Good Reason. 

  

	 	f.	 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the state of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the state of California to be applied. 

  

	 	g.	 Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notice, demands and all other communication provided
for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand delivery or overnight courier or mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed

Sabra Health Care REIT, Inc. 

Attention: Board of Directors 

18500 Von Karman, Suite 550 

Irvine, California 92612 
 To
Mr. Matros: 
 At the address last shown on the Company’s records 

 

	 	h.	 Section 409A. 

 

	 	1.	 If Mr. Matros is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of Mr. Matros’ separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(1), without regard
to the optional alternative definitions available thereunder) and any payment or benefit provided in Section 5 hereof constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, Mr. Matros shall not be
entitled to any such payment or benefit 

  
 14 

	 	
until the earlier of: (i) the date which is six (6) months after his separation from service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of his death. The provisions of this
paragraph shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A. Any amounts otherwise payable to Mr. Matros upon or in the six (6) month period following his
separation from service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 8(h)(1) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after
Mr. Matros’ separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of his death). 

 

	 	2.	 To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to Sections 3(h), 5(b)(3) and 8(e) are taxable to
Mr. Matros, any reimbursement payment due to Mr. Matros pursuant to such provision shall be paid to Mr. Matros on or before the last day of Mr. Matros’ taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was
incurred. The benefits and reimbursements pursuant to Sections 3(h), 5(b)(3) and 8(e) are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that Mr. Matros receives in one taxable year
shall not affect the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that Mr. Matros receives in any other taxable year. 

  

	 	3.	 It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement and Sabra’s and Mr. Matros’
exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall either be exempt from or comply with and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent.

  

	 	i.	 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold
(or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation. Except for such withholding rights, Mr. Matros is solely responsible for any and all tax liability that may arise with respect to the compensation provided under or pursuant to this Agreement.

  

	 	j.	 Successors and Assigns. 

 

	 	1.	 This Agreement is personal to Mr. Matros and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be
assignable by Mr. Matros otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Mr. Matros’ legal representatives. 

  
 15 

	 	2.	 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company
to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” and
“Sabra” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee, as applicable, which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise. 

 

	 	k.	 Section Headings. The section headings of, and titles of paragraphs and subparagraphs contained
in, this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and they neither form a part of this Agreement nor are they to be used in the construction or interpretation thereof. 

 

	 	l.	 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken
together, shall bear the signatures of all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Photographic copies of such signed counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.
