 In respect of the positions set forth above, commencing on your Start Date,

 3. Dividends. 
  
 (a) The holders of shares of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled, when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per annum of (i) 6% per share on the Liquidation Preference if paid in cash (the “Cash Dividend Rate”) or, (ii) 7.5%
per share on the Liquidation Preference if paid in shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “PIK Dividend Rate”) (the applicable dividend rate being hereafter referred to as the “Dividend Rate”). Dividends payable for each full
dividend period will be computed by dividing the Dividend Rate by four and shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date (commencing September 30, 2005) for the quarterly period ending immediately prior to such Dividend Payment Date, to
the holders of record of Series D Preferred Stock at the close of business on the Dividend Record Date applicable to such Dividend Payment Date. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the most recent date as to which dividends shall have been paid
or, if no dividends have been paid, from the Issue Date (whether or not in any dividend period or periods there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such dividends) and shall accrue on a day-to-day basis, whether or
not earned or declared, from and after the Issue Date. Dividends payable for any partial dividend period shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in the period and a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Accumulations of
dividends on shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not bear interest. 
  
 If, on any Dividend Payment Date, the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not have received the full dividends provided for in this Section 3(a) in cash or in kind, then such dividends shall cumulate,
whether or not earned or declared, with additional dividends thereon, at the PIK Dividend Rate applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 3(a), for each succeeding full quarterly dividend period during which such
dividends shall remain unpaid. 
  
 (b) When dividends are not paid
in full on the Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared on the Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Series D Preferred Stock
and such Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the accumulated and unpaid dividends per share on the Series D Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock bear to each other. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
unless full dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock have been paid for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than in Common Stock or other shares of Junior Stock) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment, nor shall any other
distribution be made, on the Common Stock, any other Junior Stock or any Parity Stock. 
  

 4 

 (c) Unless full dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock have been paid, or declared and a sum
sufficient for payment thereof set apart for such payment, for all past dividend periods, the Corporation may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire for any consideration (nor may the Corporation pay or make available any moneys for a sinking
fund for the redemption of) any shares of Common Stock, any Junior Stock or any Parity Stock except by conversion into or exchange for shares of Junior Stock. 
  

(d) Holders shall not be entitled to any dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full
cumulative dividends. 
  
 (e) The Board of Directors may declare
dividends payable in shares of Series D Preferred Stock in lieu of cash dividends on a Dividend Payment Date. In the event the Board of Directors elects to declare a dividend payable in shares of Series D Preferred Stock, each holder of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive such additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or cash in lieu of a fraction thereof) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder
multiplied by (y) the PIK Dividend Rate. 
  
 (f) The Holders at
the close of business on a Dividend Record Date will be entitled to receive the dividend payment on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the subsequent conversion thereof or the Corporation’s default in
payment of the dividend due on that Dividend Payment Date. However, shares of Series D Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 6 during the period between the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and the close of
business on the day immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the dividend payable on the shares on that Dividend Payment Date. A Holder on a Dividend Record Date who (or whose
transferee) tenders any shares for conversion on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on the Series D Preferred Stock on that date, and the converting holder need not include payment in the
amount of such dividend upon surrender of shares of Series D Preferred Stock for conversion. The Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on converted shares or for dividends on the shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion, except as provided above with respect to a voluntary conversion pursuant to Section 6, and except that a Holder shall always be entitled to receive any Accumulated Dividends with respect to a voluntary conversion
pursuant to Section 6. 
  
 4. Voting Rights. 
  
 (a) The shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights
except as set forth below or as otherwise required by Delaware law from time to time: 
  

	 	(i)	 So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless a greater percentage shall then be required by law, the affirmative vote or consent of
the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding 

  

 5 

	 	 
shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall be required to (A) amend, alter or repeal, in any manner whatsoever, the
designations, powers, preferences, relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series D Preferred Stock, or (B) amend or repeal any provision of or add any provision to, the
Certificate of Incorporation if that action would adversely alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series D Preferred Stock. In exercising the voting rights set forth in this Section 4(a)(i), each share of Series D Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to one vote. 

  

	 	(ii)	Holders shall be entitled to vote, together with the holders of Common Stock, as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation, in the same manner
and with the same effect as the holders of Common Stock. In any such vote, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote per share for each share of Common Stock (including fractional shares) into which each
share of Series D Preferred Stock is then convertible, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a share. 

  
 (b) The Corporation may authorize, increase the authorized amount of, or issue any shares of Parity Stock or Junior Stock, without the consent of the
holders of Series D Preferred Stock, and in taking such actions the Corporation shall not be deemed to have affected adversely the rights, preferences, privileges or voting rights of Holders. 
  
 5. Liquidation Preference. 
  
 (a) In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders the Liquidation Preference plus Accumulated Dividends and
Accrued Dividends thereon in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, including, without limitation, on any Common Stock. 
  
 (b) Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all
or substantially all the assets or business of the Corporation (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of its business) nor the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Person shall be
deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 5. 
  
 (c) After the payment to the Holders of full preferential amounts provided for in this Section 5, the Holders as such shall have no right or claim to any
of the remaining assets of the Corporation. 
  
 (d) In the event
the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, whether voluntary or 

  

 6 

 
involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5(a), no such distribution shall be made
on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable
amounts for which holders of all Series D Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. 
  
 (e) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, Holders will not be entitled to receive any liquidating
distributions until all amounts payable upon any such event to holders of outstanding shares of any series of Senior Stock have been paid in full. 
  
 6. Conversion Rights. 
  
 (a) Each Holder shall have the right, at its option, exercisable at any time and from time to time from the Issue Date to convert, subject to the terms
and provisions of this Section 6, any or all of such Holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock. In such case, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted into such whole number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock as is equal, subject to Section 6(g), to the product of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock being so converted multiplied by the Conversion Ratio then in effect. The conversion right of a Holder shall be exercised by the Holder by
the surrender to the Corporation of the certificates representing shares to be converted at any time during usual business hours at its principal place of business, accompanied by duly executed written notice to the Corporation in that the Holder
elects to convert all or a portion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by such certificate and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued and (if
so required by the Corporation) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor,
if required pursuant to Section 6(i). Immediately prior to the close of business on the date of receipt by the Corporation of notice of conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, each converting Holder shall be deemed to be the Holder of
record of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Series D Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Common Stock shall not then be
actually delivered to such Holder. Upon notice from the Corporation, each Holder of Series D Preferred Stock so converted shall promptly surrender to the Corporation certificates representing the shares so converted, duly endorsed in blank or
accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. On the date of any conversion, all rights with respect to the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of
Holders thereof to (i) receive dividends on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so converted in accordance with Section 3(e); (ii) receive certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred
Stock have been converted and cash, in lieu of any fractional shares as provided in Section 6(f); and (iii) exercise the rights to which they are entitled as holders of Common Stock. 
  
 (b) If the last day for the exercise of the conversion right shall not be a Business Day, then such conversion right may be
exercised on the next preceding Business Day. 
  

 7 

 (c) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time (A) pay a dividend (or other distribution) on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock (other than the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock or any other series of preferred stock of the Corporation that is convertible into Common Stock); (B) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then, and in each such case, the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) so that the Holder of any share of Series D Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion
shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had such share of Series D Preferred Stock been
converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(c)(i) shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or distribution, to the day
immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such subdivision, split, combination or reclassification, to
the close of business on the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective. 

  

	 	(ii)	 In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time issue to all holders of its Common Stock rights, options or warrants entitling the holders thereof to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) at a price per share less than the Market Value for the period ending on the date of issuance (treating the price per share
of any security convertible, or exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock as equal to (A) the sum of the price paid to acquire such security convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock plus any additional consideration payable
(without regard to any anti-dilution adjustments) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such security into Common Stock divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security is
initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable), other than (I) issuances of such rights, options or warrants if the Holder would be entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants upon conversion at any time of shares of Series D Preferred
Stock into Common Stock and (II) issuances that are subject to certain triggering events (until such time as such triggering events occur), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion
Price in effect on the day immediately prior to the record 

  

 8 

	 	 
date of such issuance by a fraction (y) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus
the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued upon or as a result of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants (or the maximum number into or for which such convertible or exchangeable securities initially may convert
or exchange or for which such options, warrants or other rights initially may be exercised) and (z) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued (or into or for which such convertible or exchangeable securities may convert or exchange or for which such options, warrants or other
rights may be exercised plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such security) would purchase at the Market Value for the period ending on the date of conversion;
provided, that if the Corporation distributes rights or warrants (other than those referred to above in this paragraph (c)(ii)) pro rata to the holders of Common Stock, so long as such rights or warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the
Corporation, (y) the holder of any Series D Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon such conversion (the “Conversion
Shares”), a number of rights or warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or warrants
(the “Distribution Date”), the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and
provisions applicable to the rights or warrants, and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights or warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series D Preferred Stock
was convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been entitled on such Distribution Date had such Series D Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and provisions
applicable to the rights and warrants, and (z) the Conversion Price shall not be subject to adjustment on account of any declaration, distribution or exercise of such rights or warrants. 

  

	 	(iii)	 In case the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time (A) make a pro rata distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock consisting exclusively
of cash (excluding any cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which paragraph (g) below applies), that, when combined together with (x) all other such all-cash distributions made within the then-preceding 12 months in respect of which no
adjustment has been made and (y) any cash and the fair market value of other 

  

 9 

	 	 
consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offer by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for shares of Common Stock concluded within the
then-preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(c) has been made, in the aggregate exceeds 10% of the Corporation’s market capitalization (defined as the product of the Market Value for the period ending on
the record date of such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date) on the record date of such distribution; (B) complete a tender or exchange offer by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for
shares of Common Stock that involves an aggregate consideration that, together with (I) any cash and other consideration payable in a tender or exchange offer by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for shares of Common Stock expiring within
the then-preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(c) has been made and (II) the aggregate amount of any such all-cash distributions referred to in clause (A) above to all holders of shares of Common Stock
within the then-preceding 12 months in respect of which no adjustments have been made, exceeds 10% of the Corporation’s market capitalization on the expiration of such tender offer; or (C) make a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock
consisting of evidences of indebtedness, shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock or assets (including securities, but excluding those dividends, rights, options, warrants and distributions referred to in paragraph (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above
or clause (A) of this paragraph (c)(iii)), then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution or completion of such tender
or exchange offer, as the case may be, by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Market Value for the period ending on the record date referred to below, or, if such adjustment is made upon the completion of a tender or exchange offer,
on the payment date for such offer, and (y) the denominator of which shall be such Market Value less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness,
securities or other assets so distributed or paid in such tender or exchange offer, applicable to one share of Common Stock (but such denominator shall not be less than one); provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any
distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Corporation if the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock unless such rights are
subsequently redeemed by the Corporation, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section 6(c)(iii) as a dividend on the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made or tender or
exchange offer is completed, as the case may be, and shall become effective retroactively to a date immediately following the close of business on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

  

 10 

	 	(iv)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 6(c) need be made to the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such Conversion Price. 

  
 (d) If the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other
distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in the Conversion Price
then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record. 
  
 (e) Upon any increase or decrease in the Conversion Price, then, and in each such case, the Corporation promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Corporation, setting
forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment. 
  
 (f) No fractional shares or securities representing fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock, whether voluntary or mandatory. If more than one share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the
number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so surrendered. If the conversion of any share or shares of
Series D Preferred Stock results in a fraction, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the AMEX (or on such other national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the
Common Stock is then listed for trading or authorized for quotation) or, if the Common Stock is not then so listed or authorized for quotation, an amount determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be the fair value of the Common Stock at
the close of business on the trading day next preceding the day of conversion shall be paid to such holder in cash by the Corporation. 
  
 (g) In the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value), or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person or any merger of another Person with or into the Corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the
Corporation is the resulting or surviving Person and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding Common Stock), or in the event of any sale or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Corporation (computed on a consolidated basis) (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction”), each share of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall, without the consent of any Holder, become convertible at any time, 

  

 11 

 
at the option of the Holder thereof, only into the kind and amount of securities (of the Corporation or another issuer), cash and other property receivable
upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series D Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such Transaction, after giving effect to any adjustment event. The provisions
of this Section 6(g) and any equivalent thereof in any such securities similarly shall apply to successive Transactions. The provisions of this Section 6(g) shall be the sole right of Holders in connection with any Transaction and such Holders shall
have no separate vote thereon. 
  
 (h) The Corporation shall at
all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or
to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. 
  
 (i) The issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the converting holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock for
such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, and such certificates shall be issued or delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed
by, the Holders of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such
certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or
delivery thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. 
  
 7. Mandatory Conversion. 
  
 (a) At any time on or after January 15, 2007, the Corporation shall have the right, at its option, to cause the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole but not
in part, to be automatically converted into that number of whole shares of Common Stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio then in effect, with any resulting fractional shares of Common Stock to be settled in
accordance with Section 6(f). The Corporation may exercise its right to cause a mandatory conversion pursuant to this Section 7(a) only if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at
least 20 trading days in any consecutive 30-day trading period on the AMEX (or another national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market), including the last trading day of such 30-day period. 
  
 (b) To exercise the mandatory conversion right described in Section 7(a), the
Corporation shall give notice by mail or by publication (with subsequent prompt notice by mail) to the Holders (not more than four Business Days after the date of the notice) of the mandatory conversion announcing the Corporation’s intention to
convert the Series D Preferred Stock. The 

  

 12 

 
conversion date will be a date selected by the Corporation (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) and will be no more than five Business Days after the
date on which the Corporation issues the notice described in this Section 7(b). 
  
 (c) In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the notice of a mandatory conversion described in Section 7(b) shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Mandatory Conversion Date; (ii) the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock, and (iii) that dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock to be converted will cease to accrue on the Mandatory Conversion Date. 
  
 (d) On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends will cease to
accrue on the Series D Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) and all rights of Holders will terminate except for the right to receive the whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof and cash, in
lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6(f). The dividend payment with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) on a date during the period between the close
of business on any Dividend Record Date to the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date will be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the record holder of such share on such Dividend Record Date if such share has been
converted after such Dividend Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 7(a), no payment or adjustment will be made upon
conversion of Series D Preferred Stock for Accrued Dividends or for dividends with respect to the Common Stock issued upon such conversion. 
  
 (e) The Corporation may not authorize or give notice of any mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 7(a) unless, prior to giving the conversion notice,
all Accumulated Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock for periods ended prior to the date of such conversion notice shall have been paid in full. 
  
 (f) In addition to the mandatory conversion right described in Section 7(a), if the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding is less than
10% of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date, the Corporation shall have the right, at any time on or after July 15, 2009, at its option, to cause the Series D Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, to be
automatically converted into that number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference divided by (ii) the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price then in effect and (B) the Market Value for the five trading day
period ending on the second trading day immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, with any resulting fractional shares of Common Stock to be settled in cash in accordance with Section 6(f). The provisions of clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e)
of this Section 7 shall apply to any mandatory conversion pursuant to this clause (f); provided, that (i) the Mandatory Conversion Date described in Section 7(b) shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 30 days after the date on
which the Corporation issues a notice pursuant to Section 7(b) announcing such mandatory conversion, and (ii) the notice of mandatory conversion described in Section 7(c) will not state the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock, but instead will state the basis for determining the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as set forth in this Section 7(f). 
  

 13 

 8. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. 
  
 (a) The Corporation, without the consent of the Holders, may consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey,
transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to any Person or may permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all its properties to, the Corporation; provided, however, that
(a) the successor, transferee or lessee is organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, and (b) the shares of Series D Preferred Stock will become shares of such successor, transferee or lessee, having in
respect of such successor, transferee or lessee the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and the qualification, limitations or restrictions thereon, the Series D Preferred Stock had immediately prior
to such transaction. 
  
 (b) Upon any consolidation by the
Corporation with, or merger by the Corporation into, any other person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation as described in Section 8(a), the successor resulting from such consolidation or
into which the Corporation is merged or the transferee or lessee to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made, will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Corporation under the shares of Series D
Preferred Stock, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor (if still in existence) will be released from its obligations and covenants with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock. 
  
 9. Redemption. 
  
 (a) The Corporation may not redeem the shares of Series D Preferred Stock prior to July 15, 2008. At any time on or after
July 15, 2008 and prior to July 15, 2010, the Corporation may, at its option, redeem all, but not a portion, of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a cash redemption price per share equal to (i) 105% of the Liquidation Preference, plus (ii)
all Accumulated Dividends and Accrued Dividends to the date of redemption. The date of redemption shall be a date fixed by the Corporation not less than 30 nor more than 60 days after the date of the notice referred to in Section 9(c). 

 
 (b) At any time on or after July 15, 2010, the Corporation may, at its
option, redeem all, but not a portion, of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a cash redemption price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference plus all Accumulated Dividends and Accrued Dividends to the date of redemption. The
date of redemption shall be a date fixed by the Corporation not less than 30 nor more than 60 days after the date of the notice referred to in Section 9(c). 
  
 (c) If the Corporation elects to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with either Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), it will notify the Holders of
its intention to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock by mailing a notice of its intention to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock to all Holders. 
  
 (d) In addition to any information required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, the notice of redemption will state: 
  

	 	(i)	the redemption date; 

  

 14 

	 	(ii)	the redemption price to be paid in respect of each share of Series D Preferred Stock; 

  

	 	(iii)	that dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock will cease to be payable on the redemption date, unless the Corporation defaults in making payment of any cash payable upon
redemption; 

  

	 	(iv)	that the option of holders of Series D Preferred Stock to convert shares of Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the redemption date, unless the Corporation defaults in making payment of any cash payable upon redemption; 

  

	 	(v)	the Conversion Price then in effect; and 

  

	 	(vi)	that shares of Series D Preferred Stock must be surrendered to the Corporation in order to receive the redemption payment and the procedures for surrendering shares of Series D
Preferred Stock. 

  
 (e) Notice having been given as
provided above, from and after the date fixed for the redemption (unless the Corporation shall fail to make available the money necessary to effect such redemption), the Holders shall cease to be stockholders with respect to the Corporation’s
shares of Series D Preferred Stock and shall have no interest in or claim against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other right with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon such
redemption from the Corporation, less any required tax withholding amount, without interest thereon, upon surrender (and endorsement or assignment of transfer, if required by the Corporation and so stated in the notice) of their certificates, and
the shares represented thereby shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding. The Corporation may, at its option, at any time after a notice of redemption has been given, deposit the redemption price for the shares of Series D Preferred Stock, plus
any Accumulated Dividends and Accrued Dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption, with an escrow agent, as a trust fund for the benefit of the Holders, together with irrevocable instructions and authority to such escrow agent that such funds
be delivered upon redemption of such shares and to pay, on and after the date fixed for redemption or prior thereto, the redemption price of the shares to their respective Holders upon the surrender of their share certificates. From and after the
making of such deposit, the Holders shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claim against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares,
except the right to receive from such trust fund the moneys payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares represented thereby shall no
longer be deemed to be outstanding. Any balance of such moneys remaining unclaimed at the end of the two-year period commencing on the date fixed for redemption shall be repaid to the Corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its
Board of Directors. 
  
 (f) The right of Holders to convert shares
of Series D Preferred Stock will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date, unless the Corporation defaults in making payment of any cash payable upon redemption. 
  

 15 

 10. Other Provisions. 
  
 (a) With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to mail such notice, nor any defect therein or in the
mailing thereof, to any particular holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other holders or affect the legality or validity of any distribution, rights,
warrant, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any such action. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given whether or not the holder receives the notice. 
  
 (b)
Shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and reacquired will be retired and canceled promptly after reacquisition thereof and, upon compliance with the applicable requirements of Delaware law, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series and may with any and all other authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation be designated or redesignated and issued or reissued, as the case may be, as part of any
series of preferred stock of the Corporation, except that any issuance or reissuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock must be in compliance with this Certificate of Designation. 
  
 (c) The shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be issuable only in whole shares. 
  
 (d) All notice periods referred to herein shall commence on the date of the
mailing of the applicable notice.
