 RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 Rights Agreement (this “Rights Agreement”), dated as of January 26, 2012, by and between Illumina, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Computershare
Trust Company, N.A. (the “Rights Agent”). 
 WHEREAS, on January 25, 2012, the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board of Directors”) has (i) authorized and directed the issuance, and declared a dividend, of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each Common Share (as such term is hereinafter
defined) outstanding as of the close of business on February 6, 2012 (the “Record Date”) with each Right initially representing the right to purchase one one-thousandth (subject to adjustment as provided herein) of a Preferred
Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations attached hereto as Exhibit A and authorized by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2012 and (ii) further authorized and
directed the issuance of one Right (subject to adjustment as provided herein) with respect to each Common Share that shall become outstanding between the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Expiration
Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein set forth, the parties hereby agree, as follows: 
 Section 1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this
Rights Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated: 
 (a) “Acquiring Person” shall mean any
Person who or which, together with its Affiliates and Associates, shall be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, but shall not include: 

(i) the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the
Company, or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan; 
 (ii) any Person
who or which becomes the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding solely as the result of a reduction in the outstanding Common Shares resulting from an acquisition of Common Shares by the Company approved by the Board
of Directors, unless and until (A) such Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Shares, other than pursuant to a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company in which all holders of Common
Shares are treated equally or (B) any other Person who is a Beneficial Owner of Common Shares thereafter becomes an Affiliate or Associate of such Person; 
 (iii) any Person who or which the Board of Directors determines, in good faith, became an Acquiring Person inadvertently (including, without limitation, by reason of being unaware of the consequences of
such Person’s actions under this Rights Agreement) and without any intention of changing or 

 
influencing control of the Company, and such Person divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Common Shares so that such Person would no longer be an Acquiring Person (or, in the
case of Derivative Common Shares, such Person terminates the subject Derivative Transaction(s), disposes of the subject derivative security or establishes to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors that such Derivative Common Shares are not held
with any intention of changing or influencing control of the Company); provided, however, that if such Person shall again become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding, such Person shall be deemed to be an
Acquiring Person, subject to the exceptions set forth in this Section 1(a); or 
 (iv) any Person who
or which the Board of Directors determines, prior to the time such Person would otherwise be an Acquiring Person, should be exempted from the definition of Acquiring Person; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may make such
exemption subject to such conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine. 
 (b) “Affiliate” and
“Associate” shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date hereof. 

(c) A Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of and shall be deemed to “Beneficially Own” any
securities: 
 (i) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates beneficially owns,
directly or indirectly (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date hereof); 
 (ii) which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has, directly or indirectly, (A) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the
passage of time, compliance with regulatory requirements, fulfillment of a condition or otherwise) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship, whether or not in writing (other than customary agreements with and between
underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights (other than these Rights), warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however,
that, for purposes of this clause (A) only, a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or to Beneficially Own, securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such Person or any of such
Person’s Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or exchange or (B) the right to vote or dispose of, or direct the voting or disposal of, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, understanding or
relationship, whether or not in writing; provided, however, that, for purposes of this clause (B) only, a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or to Beneficially Own, any security if the agreement, arrangement,
understanding or relationship to vote such security (1)

  
 2 

 
arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given to such Person in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the applicable rules and
regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) is not also then reportable on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report); 

(iii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person (or any of its Affiliates or Associates)
with which such Person or any of such Person’s Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship, whether or not in writing (other than customary agreements with and between underwriters and selling group
members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except to the extent contemplated by the proviso to Section 1(c)(ii)(B) hereof) or disposing of any securities of the
Company; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Beneficial Ownership of securities under this Rights Agreement, officers and directors of the Company solely by reason of their status as such shall not constitute a group
(notwithstanding that they may be Associates of one another or may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) and shall not be deemed to own shares owned by another officer or director of the Company; or

 (iv) which are the subject of (or synthetically owned pursuant to) (A) a Derivative Transaction entered
into by such Person or such Person’s Affiliates or Associates or (B) a derivative security acquired, directly or indirectly, by such Person or such Person’s Affiliates or Associates. 

Notwithstanding anything in this definition of Beneficial Ownership to the contrary, the phrase “then outstanding,” when used with reference to
a Person’s Beneficial Ownership of securities of the Company, shall mean the number of such securities then issued and outstanding together with the number of such securities not then actually issued and outstanding which such Person would be
deemed to Beneficially Own hereunder.

Business Day.

Company, except that “Common Shares” when used with reference to any Person other than the Company, shall mean the class of capital stock (or equity interest) with the greatest voting power of such other Person or, if such other

Until the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the Stock Acquisition Date or (ii) the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day (or such later date, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine prior to such time as any

outstanding Common Shares, in each case, including any such date which is after the date of this Rights Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Rights (the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the “Distribution
Date”), (A) the Rights will be 

  
 6 

 
evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof) by the certificates for Common Shares registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be
deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by separate Right Certificates, and Rights associated with any uncertificated Common Shares will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(c) hereof) by the registration of such Common
Shares in the Company’s share register in the names of the holders thereof (which registration shall also be deemed to be registration of ownership of the associated Rights) and not by separate Right Certificates and (B) the right to
receive Right Certificates will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of Common Shares. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, the Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will countersign, and the Company will
send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if requested, send) by first-class, insured, postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown
on the records of the Company, a Right Certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Right Certificate”), evidencing one Right for each Common Share so held (subject to adjustment as provided herein). As of
the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by such Right Certificates. 
 (b) The Company will make available,
or cause to be made available, as promptly as practicable on or following the Record Date, a Summary of Rights to Purchase Preferred Shares, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, to any holder of Rights who may so request from time
to time prior to the Expiration Date. With respect to certificates for Common Shares outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date, until the Distribution Date (or the earlier Expiration Date), the Rights will be evidenced by such
certificates and the registered holders of the Common Shares shall also be the registered holders of the associated Rights. With respect to uncertificated Common Shares outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date, until the
Distribution Date (or the earlier Expiration Date), the Rights (other than Rights that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof) will be evidenced by the registration of such Common Shares in the Company’s share register in
the names of the holders thereof. Until the Distribution Date (or the earlier Expiration Date), the surrender for transfer of any certificate for Common Shares in respect of which Rights have been issued shall also constitute the transfer of the
Rights associated with such Common Shares, and the registration of transfer of ownership of any uncertificated Common Shares in respect of which Rights have been issued shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common
Shares the ownership of which is so transferred. 
 (c) Rights shall be issued in respect of all Common Shares which are issued
(whether originally issued or from the Company’s treasury, or in connection with a transfer or exchange of Common Shares) after the Record Date but prior to the Distribution Date (or the earlier Expiration Date). Certificates representing such
Common Shares shall bear the following legend: 
 This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain
rights as set forth in a Rights Agreement dated as of January 26, 2012, by and between Illumina, Inc. (the 

  
 7 

 
“Company”) and the Rights Agent thereunder (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated
herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by
this certificate. The Company will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, rights issued to
any person who becomes an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), including such rights held by a subsequent holder, may become null and void and may no longer be
transferable. 
 In the case of the initial transaction statement or subsequent periodic statements with respect to uncertificated Common
Shares, such statements shall bear the following legend: 
 The registration in the share register of Illumina, Inc. (the
“Company”) of the shares of common stock to which this initial transaction or subsequent periodic statement relates also evidences and entitles the registered holder of such shares to certain rights as set forth in a Rights
Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2012, by and between the Company and the Rights Agent thereunder (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by
reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal offices of the Company. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by such
registration. The Company will mail to the registered holder of such shares a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, rights issued
to any person who becomes an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), including such rights held by a subsequent holder, may become null and void and may no longer be
transferable. 

  
 8 

 With respect to such certificates containing the foregoing legend, until the Distribution Date (or the
earlier Expiration Date), the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificates shall be evidenced by such certificates alone, and the surrender for transfer of any such certificate shall also constitute the transfer of the
Rights associated with the Common Shares represented thereby. With respect to such initial transaction statement or subsequent periodic statements containing the foregoing legend, until the Distribution Date (or the earlier Expiration Date), the
Rights associated with such Common Shares with respect to which such statements are issued shall be evidenced solely by the registration of ownership of such Common Shares in the share register of the Company, and the registration of transfer of
ownership in such share register shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with such Common Shares the ownership of which is so transferred. In the event that the Company purchases or acquires any Common Shares after the Record
Date but prior to the Distribution Date (and with respect to any such Common Shares), any Rights associated with such Common Shares shall be deemed cancelled and retired such that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated
with the Common Shares which are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding this Section 3(c), the omission of a legend shall not affect the enforceability of any part of this Rights Agreement or the rights of any holder of the Rights.

 Section 4. Form of Right Certificates. The Right Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase Preferred
Shares and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially in the same form of Exhibit B hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as
the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Rights Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of
any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed or quoted, or to conform to usage. Subject to the provisions of this Rights Agreement, the Right Certificates, whenever issued, shall be dated as of
the Record Date, and shall show the date of countersignature by the Rights Agent, and on their face shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share as shall be set forth therein at the Purchase
Price set forth therein, but the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. 
 Section 5. Countersignature and Registration. 
 (a) The Right
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President, its Chief Executive Officer, any of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer (regardless of designation), either manually or by facsimile
signature, shall have affixed thereto the Company’s seal or a facsimile thereof, and shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, or by such officers of the Company as the Board of Directors shall designate,
either manually or by facsimile signature. The Right Certificates shall be countersigned by the Rights Agent, either manually or by facsimile signature, and shall not be valid for any purpose 

  
 9 

 
unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Right Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Rights
Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Right Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though the Person who signed such Right
Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Right Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any Person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Right Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the
Company to sign such Right Certificate although at the date of the execution of this Rights Agreement any such Person was not such an officer. 
 (b) Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its principal office, books for the registration and registration of transfer of the Right Certificates issued
hereunder. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Right Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face by each of the Right Certificates, the certificate number of each of the Right Certificates and
the date of each of the Right Certificates. 
 Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Right
Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Right Certificates. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 14 hereof, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at or prior to the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, any Right Certificate or Right Certificates (other than Right Certificates
representing Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof) may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate or
Right Certificates entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share (subject to adjustment as provided herein) as the Right Certificate or Right Certificates surrendered then entitled such holder
to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Right Certificate or Right Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Right Certificate or Right
Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Rights Agent. The Right Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Rights Agreement to
the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to the transfer of any such surrendered Right Certificates until such registered holder shall, in addition to having complied with any
other applicable provisions hereof, have (i) duly completed and signed the certificate contained in the form of assignment set forth on the reverse side of such Right Certificate(s), and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the
identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof, or of any other Person with which such Beneficial Owner or any of such Beneficial Owner’s Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement
or understanding (whether or not in writing) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of the Company as the Company shall reasonably request. Thereupon the Rights Agent shall,

  
 10 

 
subject to Sections 7(e), 14 and 24 hereof, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as the case may be, as so
requested. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Right Certificates. The Rights Agent shall have no duty
or obligation to take any action under any section of this Rights Agreement which requires the payment by a Rights holder of applicable taxes and/or governmental charges unless and until it is reasonably satisfied that all such taxes and/or
governmental charges have been paid. 
 (b) At any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and at or prior to
the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Right Certificate (other than Right Certificates
representing Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof or that have been exchanged pursuant to Section 24 hereof), and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably
satisfactory to them, and, at the Company’s request, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Right Certificate if mutilated,
the Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will countersign and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if requested, send) a new Right Certificate of like tenor to the registered holder in lieu of the Right
Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. 
 Section 7. Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date
of Rights. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the registered holder of any Right Certificate may exercise the
Rights evidenced thereby, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side thereof properly completed and duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the principal office of the Rights
Agent, together with payment of the Purchase Price for each one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share as to which the Rights are exercised, at any time after the Close of Business on the Distribution Date and at or prior to the time that is the
earliest of (i) the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date or (ii) the time at which such Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 24 hereof. 
 (b) The Purchase Price shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in accordance with Section 7(c) hereof. 

(c) Upon receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable Rights, with the form of election to purchase and certification properly
completed and duly executed, accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for the total number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share to be purchased and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax or governmental charge required to be paid
by the holder of such Right Certificate in accordance with Section 9 hereof in cash or by certified check, cashier’s check or money order payable to the order of the Company, the Rights Agent shall thereupon promptly:
(i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent of the Preferred 

  
 11 

 
Share certificates for the number of Preferred Shares to be purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes any such transfer agent to comply with all such requests or, in the case of
uncertificated Preferred Shares, requisition from any transfer agent therefor a notice setting forth such number of Preferred Shares to be purchased for which registration will be made in the Company’s share register and the Company hereby
irrevocably authorizes any such transfer agent to comply with all such requests, or (B) if the Company shall have elected to deposit the total number of Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights hereunder with a depository agent,
requisition from the depositary agent depositary receipts representing interests in such number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the Preferred Shares represented by such receipts
shall be deposited by the transfer agent of the Preferred Shares with such depository agent) and the Company hereby directs such depository agent to comply with such request; (ii) when appropriate, requisition from the Company the amount of
cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof or otherwise in accordance with Section 11(a)(iii) hereof; (iii) promptly after receipt of such certificates or depositary
receipts, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder; and (iv) when appropriate, after receipt, promptly deliver
such cash to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate. In the event that the Company is obligated to issue other securities of the Company pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, the Company will make all
arrangements necessary so that such other securities are available for distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when necessary to comply with this Rights Agreement. 
 (d) In case the registered holder of any Right Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Right Certificate evidencing Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining
unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent to the registered holder of such Right Certificate or to such holder’s duly authorized assigns, subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Rights Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Rights shall not in any event become exercisable
pursuant to any provision of this Rights Agreement prior to the Distribution Date and (ii) neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a registered holder of Rights upon the occurrence of
any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall, in addition to having complied with the requirements of Section 7(a) hereof, have (A) duly and properly completed and signed the
certificate contained in the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Right Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (B) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former
Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof, or of any other Person with which such Beneficial Owner or any of such Beneficial Owner’s Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in
writing) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of the Company as the Company shall reasonably request. 

  
 12 

 Section 8. Cancellation and Destruction of Right Certificates. All Right
Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in cancelled form, or, if
surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Right Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Rights Agreement. The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for
cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Right Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all cancelled Right Certificates
to the Company, or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such cancelled Right Certificates, and, in such case, shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company. 

Section 9. Availability of Preferred Shares. 
 (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued Preferred Shares or any Preferred Shares held in its treasury, the number of
Preferred Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights in accordance with Section 7 hereof. The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that
all securities delivered (or evidenced by registration in the Company’s share register) upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for (or the registration of) such securities (subject to payment of the Purchase
Price), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 
 (b) The Company further covenants and
agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and governmental charges which may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or of any Preferred Shares (or, if such
securities are uncertificated, the registration of such securities in the Company’s share register) upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
or delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates or depositary receipts for (or the registration of) the Preferred Shares in a name other than that of, the registered holder of the Right
Certificate evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or to deliver any certificates or depositary receipts for Preferred Shares upon the exercise of any Rights until any such tax or charge shall have been paid (any such tax or charge
being payable by the holder of such Right Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or charge is due. 

(c) The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that any securities issued pursuant hereto are issued in compliance with all
applicable laws. 
 Section 10. Preferred Shares Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate for
Preferred Shares is issued (or in which such securities are registered in the Company’s share register) upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Preferred Shares represented thereby

  
 13 

 
on, and such certificate (or registration) shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any
applicable transfer taxes or charges) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Preferred Shares transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become
the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate (or registration) shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Preferred Shares transfer books of the Company are open. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced thereby,
the holder of a Right Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a holder of Preferred Shares for which the Rights shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to
exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein. 
 Section 11. Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of Rights. The Purchase Price, the number of Preferred Shares covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding
are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11. 
 (a)(i) In the event the Company shall
at any time after the date of this Rights Agreement (A) declare and pay a dividend on the Preferred Shares payable in Preferred Shares, (B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Shares into
a smaller number of Preferred Shares or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the
continuing or surviving corporation), except as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification, and the number and kind of shares of capital stock issuable upon the exercise of each Right, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of one Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate
number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if such Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a time when the Preferred Shares transfer books of the Company were open, such holder would have owned upon such exercise and
been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of
the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided for
in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, the adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof. 
 (ii) Subject to Section 24 hereof, at any time after the date of this Rights Agreement, in the event any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, then, from and after the first occurrence of such
event, each holder of a Right shall thereafter have a right to receive, upon exercise thereof at a price per Right equal to the then current 

  
 14 

 
Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable (without giving effect to this Section 11(a)(ii)), in
accordance with the terms of this Rights Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of Common Shares as shall equal the result obtained by (A) multiplying the then-current Purchase Price by the number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable (without giving effect to this Section 11(a)(ii)) and dividing that product by (B) 50% of the then current per share market price of the Common Shares (determined pursuant to
Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of the occurrence of, or the date of the first public announcement of, such event; provided, however, that if the transaction that would otherwise give rise to the foregoing adjustment is also
subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof, then only the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall apply and no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii). In the event that any Person shall
become an Acquiring Person and the Rights shall then be outstanding, the Company shall not take any action that would eliminate or diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Rights Agreement to the
contrary, in the event any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, from and after the occurrence of such event, any Rights that are or were acquired or Beneficially Owned by (1) any Acquiring Person (or any Associate or Affiliate of such Acquiring
Person), (2) a transferee of any Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes an Acquiring Person or (3) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate
or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming an Acquiring Person and who receives such Rights pursuant to either (I) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person
(or any such Associate or Affiliate) to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person (or any such Associate or Affiliate) or to any Person with whom the Acquiring Person (or such Associate or Affiliate) has any continuing agreement,
arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) regarding the transferred Rights or (II) a transfer which the Board of Directors has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) which has as a
primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 11(a)(ii), shall be void and any holder of such Rights (whether or not such holder is an Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person) shall thereafter have
no right to exercise such Rights under any provision of this Rights Agreement or otherwise. No Right Certificate shall be issued pursuant to Section 3, 6, 7(d) or 11(i) hereof that represents Rights that are or have
become null and void pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and any Right Certificate delivered to the Rights Agent that represents Rights that are or have become null and void pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be cancelled.

 (iii) If there shall not be sufficient Common Shares issued but not outstanding or authorized but unissued to permit the
exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii), the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize additional Common Shares for issuance upon exercise of the Rights. If the Company shall, after
good faith effort, be unable to take all such action as may be necessary to authorize such additional Common Shares, the Company shall substitute, for each Common Share that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise

  
 15 

 
of a Right, a number of Preferred Shares or fraction thereof (or a security with substantially similar rights, privileges, preferences, voting power and economic rights) such that the current per
share market price of one Preferred Share (or such other security) multiplied by such number or fraction is equal to the current per share market price of one Common Share as of the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares or fraction thereof (or
other security). 
 (b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all
holders of Preferred Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Shares (or shares having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the
Preferred Shares (“equivalent preferred shares”)) or securities convertible into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares at a price per Preferred Share or equivalent preferred share (or having a conversion price per share,
if a security convertible into Preferred Shares or equivalent preferred shares) less than the then current per share market price of the Preferred Shares on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be
determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Preferred Shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current market
price and the denominator of which shall be the number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Preferred Shares and/or equivalent preferred shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which
the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible); provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock
of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company shall not
be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 
 (c) In case the
Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of the Preferred Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving
corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or a dividend payable in Preferred Shares), convertible securities or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in
Section 11(b) hereof), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by 

  
 16 

 
multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current per share market price of the Preferred Shares on
such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and holders of the
Rights) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness or convertible securities so to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one Preferred Share and the denominator of which shall be such current per share
market price of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon
exercise of one Right. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be
in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 
 (d)(i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “current per
share market price” of any security (a “Security” for the purpose of this Section 11(d)(i)) on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices per share of such Security for the thirty
(30) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event that the current per share market price of the Security is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer of such
Security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Security payable in shares of such Security or securities convertible into such shares, or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Security and prior to the expiration
of thirty (30) Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the current per share market price shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect the current market price per share equivalent of such Security. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, recorded at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or, in case no such
sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, in either case, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to
securities listed or admitted to trading on the NASDAQ or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on the NASDAQ, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or,
if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, by the NASDAQ or such other system then in use, or, if on any such date the Security is not
quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Security selected by the Board of Directors.
If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Security, the fair value of the Security on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors shall be used. The term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on
which the principal 

  
 17 

 
national securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, a Business Day. 
 (ii) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the “current per share
market price” of the Preferred Shares shall be determined in accordance with the method set forth in Section 11(d)(i) hereof. If the Preferred Shares are not publicly traded, the “current per share market price” of the
Preferred Shares shall be conclusively deemed to be the current per share market price of the Common Shares as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i) hereof (appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction occurring after the date hereof), multiplied by ten thousand. If neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred Shares are publicly held or so listed or traded, or if on any such date neither the Common Shares nor the Preferred Shares are
so quoted and no such market maker is making a market in either the Common Shares or the Preferred Shares, “current per share market price” shall mean the fair value per share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent. 
 (e) No adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-millionth of a Preferred Share or one one-thousandth of any other share or
security as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the
transaction which requires such adjustment or (ii) the date of the expiration of the right to exercise any Rights. 
 (f)
If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Preferred Shares, thereafter the
number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Shares contained in
Sections 11(a) through (c) hereof, inclusive, Sections 11(e), 11(h), 11(i), and 11(m) hereof and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 hereof with respect to
the Preferred Shares shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. 
 (g) All Rights originally issued by the Company
subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of
the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. 
 (h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as
provided in Section 11(i) hereof, upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the 

  
 18 

 
calculations made in Sections 11(b) and 11(c) hereof, each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at
the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share (calculated to the nearest one millionth of a Preferred Share) obtained by (i) multiplying (A) the number of one one-thousandths of a share covered by a
Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (B) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such
adjustment of the Purchase Price. 
 (i) The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to
adjust the number of Rights in substitution for any adjustment in the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Rights shall be
exercisable for the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of
Rights (calculated to the nearest one millionth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company
shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the
Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Right Certificates have been issued, shall be at least 10 days later than the date of the public announcement. If Right Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number
of Rights pursuant to this Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates on such record date Right Certificates evidencing, subject to
Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement
for the Right Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Right Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment.
Right Certificates so to be distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Right Certificates on the record date specified in the public
announcement. 
 (j) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price and the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share which were expressed in the
initial Right Certificates issued hereunder, but, nevertheless, shall represent the Rights as so adjusted. 
 (k) Before taking
any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Purchase Price below one one-thousandth of the then par value, if any, of the 

  
 19 

 
Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Preferred Shares at such adjusted Purchase Price. 
 (l) In any case in which this
Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuing to the holder of any Right
exercised after such record date of the Preferred Shares and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Preferred Shares and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any,
issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right
to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. 
 (m) Anything in this
Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that, it,
in its sole discretion, shall determine to be advisable in order that any consolidation or subdivision of the Preferred Shares, issuance wholly for cash of any Preferred Shares at less than the current market price, issuance wholly for cash of
Preferred Shares or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Shares, dividends on Preferred Shares payable in Preferred Shares or issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in
Section 11(b) hereof, hereafter made by the Company to holders of its Preferred Shares shall not be taxable to such holders. 
 (n) In the event that at any time after the date of this Rights Agreement and prior to the Distribution Date, the Company shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common
Shares or (ii) effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in any such case
(A) the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share purchasable after such event upon proper exercise of each Right shall be determined by multiplying the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share so purchasable immediately
prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and
(B) each Common Share outstanding immediately after such event shall have issued with respect to it that number of Rights which each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to such event had issued with respect to it. The adjustments
provided for in this Section 11(n) shall be made successively whenever such a dividend is declared or paid or such a subdivision, combination or consolidation is effected. 

Section 12. Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares. Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in
Sections 11 or 13 hereof, the Company shall promptly (a) prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a 

  
 20 

 
brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares or the Preferred Shares a copy of such
certificate and (c) if a Distribution Date has occurred, mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate in accordance with Section 25 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure of the Company to
make such certification or give such notice shall not affect the validity of or the force or effect of the requirement for such adjustment. Any adjustment to be made pursuant to Sections 11 or 13 hereof shall be effective as of the
date of the event giving rise to such adjustment. 
 Section 13. Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or
Earning Power. In the event, directly or indirectly, at any time after a Person has become an Acquiring Person, (a) the Company shall consolidate with, or merge with and into, any other Person, (b) any Person shall consolidate with the
Company, or merge with and into the Company, and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger and, in connection with such merger, all or part of the Common Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other
securities of any other Person (or the Company) or cash or any other property or (c) the Company shall sell, exchange, mortgage or otherwise transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell, exchange, mortgage or otherwise transfer), in
one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person other than the Company or one or more of its wholly owned
Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that: 
 (i) each holder of a Right
(except as otherwise provided herein) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at a price per Right equal to the then-current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which
a Right is then exercisable, in accordance with the terms of this Rights Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares, such number of validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradable Common Shares of such other Person (including the
Company as successor thereto or as the surviving corporation) not subject to any liens, encumbrances, rights of first refusal or other adverse claims, as shall equal the result obtained by (A) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the
number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable and dividing that product by (B) 50% of the then current per share market price of the Common Shares of such other Person (determined pursuant to
Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of consummation of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer; provided, however, that the price per Right so payable and the number of Common Shares so receivable upon exercise of a
Right shall thereafter be subject to further adjustment as appropriate in accordance with Section 11(f) hereof to reflect any events covered thereby occurring in respect of such Common Shares of such other Person after the occurrence of
such merger, consolidation, sale, exchange, mortgage or other transfer; 

  
 21 

 (ii) the issuer of such Common Shares shall thereafter be liable for, and
shall assume, by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale, exchange, mortgage or other transfer, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Rights Agreement; 

(iii) the term “Company” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such issuer; and 

(iv) such issuer shall take such steps (including, but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of its
Common Shares in accordance with Section 9 hereof) in connection with such consummation as may be necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to the Common
Shares thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights. 
 The Company shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer unless prior thereto the Company and such issuer shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement so providing. The Company shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this
Section 13 if at the time of such transaction there are any rights, warrants, instruments or securities outstanding or any agreements or arrangements which, as a result of the consummation of such transaction, would eliminate or diminish
in any material respect the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. The provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or sales or other transfers. 

Section 14. Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares. 

(a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Right Certificates which evidence fractional Rights.
In lieu of such fractional Rights, there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market
value of a whole Right. For the purposes of this Section 14(a), the current market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would
have been otherwise issuable. The closing price for any day shall be the last sale price, regular way reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices, regular way reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, in either case, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the NASDAQ or, if the
Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on the NASDAQ as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Rights are listed or
admitted to trading or, if the Rights are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low
asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, by NASDAQ or such other system then in use or, if on 

  
 22 

 
any such date the Rights are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices reported at or prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as furnished by a
professional market maker making a market in the Rights selected by the Board of Directors. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Rights, the fair value of the Rights on such date as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors shall be used. 
 (b) The Company shall not be required hereunder to issue fractions of Preferred Shares (other
than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Preferred Shares or to register fractional Preferred Shares in the
Company’s share register (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share). Fractions of Preferred Shares in integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share may, at the election of the
Company, be evidenced by depositary receipts, pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Company and a depositary selected by it; provided, however, that such agreement shall provide that the holders of such depositary receipts
shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which they are entitled as Beneficial Owners of the Preferred Shares represented by such depositary receipts. In lieu of fractional Preferred Shares that are not integral multiples of one
one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, the Company shall pay to the registered holders of Right Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of one
Preferred Share. For the purposes of this Section 14(b), the current market value of a Preferred Share shall be the closing price of a Preferred Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof)
for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. 
 (c) The Company shall not be required hereunder to issue
fractions of Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of such fractional Common Shares, the Company shall pay to the registered holder of the Right Certificates at the time such Rights are
exercised as herein provided an amount of cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole Common Share. For the purpose of this Section 14(c), the current market value of a whole Common Share shall be the closing
price of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. 

(d) The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives such holder’s right to receive any fractional Rights or
any fractional shares upon exercise of a Right (except as expressly provided above). 
 Section 15. Rights of
Action. All rights of action in respect of this Rights Agreement, except the rights of action given to the Rights Agent under Section 18 hereof, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Right Certificates (and, prior to
the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common Shares); and any registered holder of any Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of the Common Shares), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other

  
 23 

 
Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of the Common Shares), may, in such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain
any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, such holder’s right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate in the manner provided in such Right Certificate and in this Rights
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Rights Agreement and will be
entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations of any Person subject to, this Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Rights Agreement to the
contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or other Person as a result of the Company’s or the Rights Agent’s inability to perform any of their respective obligations under this
Rights Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, judgment decree or ruling (whether interlocutory or final) issued by a court or a governmental, regulatory, self-regulatory or administrative agency or commission,
or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation. 
 Section 16. Agreement of Right Holders. Every holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that:

 (a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the Common
Shares; 
 (b) after the Distribution Date, the Right Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights
Agent if surrendered at the principal office of the Rights Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer; and 
 (c) the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the associated Common Shares certificate or uncertificated
Common Share) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Right Certificate or the associated Common Shares certificate made by anyone other than the
Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
 Section 17. Right Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. No holder, as such, of any Right Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder
of the Preferred Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise or exchange of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Right Certificate be construed to confer
upon the holder of any Right Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon 

  
 24 

 
any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders
(except as provided in Section 25 hereof), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by such Right Certificate shall have been exercised or exchanged in accordance with the
provisions hereof. 
 Section 18. Concerning the Rights Agent. 

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to
time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this Rights Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also
agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted by the Rights
Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Rights Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability in the premises. 

(b) The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for, or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
connection with, its administration of this Rights Agreement in reliance upon any Right Certificate or certificate for the Preferred Shares or Common Shares or for other securities of the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of
attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or
Persons, or otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth in Section 20 hereof. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Rights Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 Section 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change
of Name of Rights Agent. 
 (a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the stock transfer or corporate trust powers
of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Rights Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided,
however, that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights 

  
 25 

 
Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Rights Agreement, any of the Right
Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so countersigned; and, in case at that time any of the
Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such
Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Rights Agreement. 
 (b) In case at
any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Right
Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases
such Right Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Rights Agreement. 

Section 20. Duties of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Rights Agreement
upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Right Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 
 (a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent
as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 
 (b) Whenever in the performance of
its duties under this Rights Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other
evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by any one of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Executive Officer, any Vice
President, the Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good
faith by it under the provisions of this Rights Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 
 (c) The Rights Agent shall be
liable hereunder to the Company and any other Person only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. 
 (d)
The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Rights Agreement or in the Right Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, but all such
statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. 

  
 26 

 (e) The Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of
this Rights Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Right Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible
for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Rights Agreement or in any Right Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including the Rights becoming void pursuant to
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) or any adjustment in the terms of the Rights (including the manner, method or amount thereof) provided for in Sections 3, 11, 13, 23 or 24 hereof, or the ascertaining of the
existence of facts that would require any such change or adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced by Right Certificates after actual notice that such change or adjustment is required); nor shall it by any act hereunder be
deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Preferred Shares to be issued pursuant to this Rights Agreement or any Right Certificate or as to whether any Preferred Shares will, when issued, be validly
authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 
 (f) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and
deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the
provisions of this Rights Agreement. 
 (g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with
respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any one of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Executive Officer, any Vice President, the Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary
of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any
delay in acting while waiting for those instructions. 
 (h) The Rights Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee
of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise
act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Rights Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. 

(i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself
or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default,
neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 

  
 27 

 Section 21. Change of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Rights Agreement upon 30-days’ notice in writing mailed to the Company and, following the Distribution Date, to the holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail and, in the
event that the Rights Agent or one of its Affiliates is not also the transfer agent for the Company, to each transfer agent of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares by registered or certified mail. In the event the transfer agency relationship in
effect between the Company and the Rights Agent terminates, the Rights Agent will be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination, and the Company shall be
responsible for sending any required notice. The Company may remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon 30-days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer
agent of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. If the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the
Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by
the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the holder of a Right Certificate (who or which shall, with such notice, submit such holder’s Right Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the registered holder of any Right
Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States or of any state of the United States (so long as such Person is authorized to do business as a banking institution in the State of New York), in good standing, having an office in the State of New York, which is authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent, including its Affiliates, a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50 million. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the
predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the
effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered
holders of the Right Certificates. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment
of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. 

  
 28 

 Section 22. Issuance of New Right Certificates. Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of this Rights Agreement or of the Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by the Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the
Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property purchasable under the Right Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Rights Agreement. 

Section 23. Redemption. 
 (a) The Board of Directors may, at its option, at any time prior to the Distribution Date, redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.001 per Right,
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or similar transaction (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights by the Board
of Directors may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may establish. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Rights Agreement, the Rights shall not be
exercisable after the first occurrence of the event described in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof until such time as the Company’s right of redemption hereunder has expired. The Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price in cash,
Common Shares (based on the current market value at the time of redemption) or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), the current market value of a Common Share shall be
the closing price of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of redemption pursuant to this Section 23. 

(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights pursuant to Section 23(a)
hereof, and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. The Company shall promptly give public
notice of any such redemption; provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, any such notice shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Within ten (10) days after such action of the Board of Directors ordering the
redemption of the Rights, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to all the holders of the then outstanding Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the
registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Shares. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption will state the method by which
the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this
Section 23 or in Section 24 hereof, and other than in connection with the purchase of Common Shares prior to the Distribution Date. 

  
 29 

 Section 24. Exchange. 

(a) The Board of Directors may, at its option, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, exchange all or part of the then
outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) for Common Shares at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per Right, appropriately adjusted
to reflect any adjustment in the number of Rights pursuant to Section 11(i) hereof (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Ratio”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors shall
not be empowered to effect such exchange at any time after any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any such Subsidiary, or any entity holding Common Shares for or pursuant to the
terms of any such plan), together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50% or more of the Common Shares then outstanding. The exchange of the Rights by the Board of Directors may be made effective at
such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may establish. Prior to effecting an exchange pursuant to this Section 24, the Board of Directors may direct the Company to enter into a
Trust Agreement in such form and with such terms as the Board of Directors shall then approve (the “Trust Agreement”). If the Board of Directors so directs, the Company shall enter into the Trust Agreement and shall issue to the
trust created by such agreement (the “Trust”) all of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the exchange, and all Persons entitled to receive Common Shares pursuant to the exchange shall be entitled to receive such Common Shares
(and any dividends or distributions made thereon after the date on which such Common Shares are deposited in the Trust) only from the Trust and solely upon compliance with the relevant terms and provisions of the Trust Agreement. 

(b) Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to Section 24(a)
hereof and without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Common Shares equal to the number of such
Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange; provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity of such
exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided
shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the exchange of the Common Shares for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of
Rights which will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata based on the number of Rights (other than Rights which have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) held by each holder of
Rights. 
 (c) In the event that there shall not be sufficient Common Shares issued but not outstanding or authorized but
unissued to permit any exchange of Rights as contemplated in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary to authorize additional Common Shares for issuance upon exchange

  
 30 

 
of the Rights. In the event the Company shall, after good faith effort, be unable to take all such action as may be necessary to authorize such additional Common Shares, the Company shall
substitute, for each Common Share that would otherwise be issuable upon exchange of a Right, a number of Preferred Shares or fraction thereof (or a security with substantially similar rights, privileges, preferences, voting power and economic
rights) such that the current per share market price of one Preferred Share (or other such security) multiplied by such number or fraction is equal to the current per share market price of one Common Share as of the date of issuance of such
Preferred Shares or fraction thereof (or other such security). 
 (d) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of
Common Shares or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of such fractional Common Shares, the Company shall pay to the registered holders of the Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Common
Shares would otherwise be issuable an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole Common Share. For the purposes of this paragraph (d), the current market value of a whole Common Share shall be the closing price
of a Common Share (as determined pursuant to the second sentence of Section 11(d)(i) hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of exchange pursuant to this Section 24. 

Section 25. Notice of Certain Events. 
 (a) In case the Company, at any time after the Distribution Date, shall propose (i) to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its Preferred Shares or to make any other
distribution to the holders of its Preferred Shares (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer to the holders of its Preferred Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional Preferred Shares or
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Preferred Shares (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding Preferred Shares), (iv) to
effect or permit any consolidation or merger into or with, or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or
earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to, any other Person, (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (vi) to declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in
Common Shares or to effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in Common Shares), then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a Right
Certificate, in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such stock dividend, or distribution of rights or warrants, or the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of the Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares, if any such date is to be fixed, and
such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Preferred Shares for purposes of such action, and
in the case 

  
 31 

 
of any such other action, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of the Common Shares and/or
Preferred Shares, whichever shall be the earlier. 
 (b) In case the event set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof
shall occur, then the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each holder of a Right Certificate, in accordance with Section 26 hereof, a notice of the occurrence of such event, which notice shall describe such event and
the consequences of such event to holders of Rights under Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.

 CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS 
 of 

SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING 
 PREFERRED STOCK 
 of 

ILLUMINA, INC. 

(Pursuant to Section 151 of the 
 Delaware General Corporation Law) 
  

 
 Illumina, Inc.,
a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Corporation”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the
Corporation (hereinafter called the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors on January 25, 2012 adopted a resolution providing for the authorization of a series of preferred stock, as follows: 

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the
provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby creates a series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock”), of the
Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as follows: 
 Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock” and the number of shares constituting the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be 250,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of such shares then outstanding plus the number of such shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any
outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. 

Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of preferred stock
(or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in

  
 A-1

 
preference to the holders of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when,
as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first day of March, June, September and December in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a
“Quarterly Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded
to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, one thousand (1,000) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and one thousand
(1,000) times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which holders of shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in the first paragraph of this section immediately after it declares a dividend or
distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. 

Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the
date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a
quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment 

  
 A-2

 
Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends
paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares
at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which
record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. 
 Section 3. Voting
Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: 
 Subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one thousand votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the
event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is
the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other
Certificate of Designations creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the
Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. 
 Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to
the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. 

  
 A-3

 Section 4. Certain Restrictions. Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends
or distributions payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not: 
 (a) declare or pay
dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock; 

(b) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears
in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; 
 (c) redeem or purchase or
otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time
redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation and winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock; or 
 (d) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or
by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective
series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. 
 The
Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such
shares at such time and in such manner. 
 Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of preferred stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of
Designations creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law. 

  
 A-4

 Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made 
 (a) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as
to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received $1,000.00 per share,
plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to one thousand (1,000) times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (b) to the holders
of shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock and all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause
(a) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 
 Section 7. Consolidation, Merger,
etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in
any such case each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the
aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay
any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be
adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
immediately prior to such event. 

  
 A-5

 Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall not be redeemable. 
 Section 9. Rank. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank,
with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class of the Corporation’s preferred stock. 
 Section 10. Amendment. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers,
preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class. 

  
 A-6

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designations is executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Senior

Shares”), of the Company outstanding as of the close of business on February 6, 2012 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Company at a price of $275.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment. The description
and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated January 26, 2012 (the “Rights Agreement”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”).

 Distribution Date; Exercisability 
 Initially, the Rights will be attached to all Common Share certificates or to the registration of uncertificated Common Shares in the Company’s share register, if any, and no separate certificates
evidencing the Rights (“Right Certificates”) will be issued. Separate Right Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as soon as practicable after the close of business on the earlier to occur of
(i) the tenth business day following a public announcement indicating that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (with certain exceptions, an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more
of the outstanding Common Shares (which includes for this purpose stock referenced in derivative transactions and securities) or (ii) the tenth business day (or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine prior to such time as any
person or group becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 15% or
more of the then outstanding Common Shares (the earlier of such dates being the “Distribution Date”). 
 The
Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date (or earlier expiration, redemption or exchange of the Rights), (i) the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Shares, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued
after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference, and the initial transaction statement or subsequent periodic statements with respect to uncertificated
Common Shares, if any, that are registered after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of such Common Shares will also contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any
certificates for Common Shares, or the registration of transfer of ownership in the Company’s share register with respect to uncertificated Common Shares outstanding as of the Record Date will also constitute the transfer of the Rights
associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate or registration. 

  
 C-1

 The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on
January 26, 2017 (the “Final Expiration Date”), unless the Final Expiration Date is amended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, in each case, as described below. 

Flip-In 
 If a person or
group becomes an Acquiring Person (with certain limited exceptions), each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, Preferred Shares or other similar securities of the
Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the existence of an Acquiring Person, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement)
were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. 
 For example, at an exercise price of $275.00 per
Right, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person following an event set forth in the preceding paragraph would entitle its holder to purchase $550.00 worth of Common Shares (or other consideration, as noted above) for $275.00. Assuming a value of
$55.00 per Common Share at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be entitled to purchase ten Common Shares for $275.00. 

Flip-Over 
 In the event
that the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold after a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each
holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then-current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company, which at the time of such transaction will have a
market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. 
 Exchange 

At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of
the outstanding Common Shares, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which will have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio per Right of one Common Share, or,
under certain circumstances, other securities of equivalent value to one Common Share having substantially similar rights, privileges, preferences, voting power and economic rights (subject to adjustment). 

Redemption 
 At any time
prior to the Distribution Date, the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights, in whole but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right (the 

  
 C-2

 
“Redemption Price”). The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time on such basis with such conditions as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may
establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. 
 Amendment 
 The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors
of the Company without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that from and after the Distribution Date no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights (other than the Acquiring Person). 

Adjustment 
 The number
of outstanding Rights and the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of each Right are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. 
 Preferred Shares 
 Because of the nature of the Preferred Shares’
dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one one-thousandth interest in a Preferred Share purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of one Common Share. 

Rights of Holders 
 Until
a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
