Section 7.5 Classified Board. Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, the Directors shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they shall hold their respective offices, by dividing them into three (3) classes, with each Director then in office to be designated as a Class I Director, a Class II Director or a Class III Director, with each class to be apportioned as nearly equal in number as possible.

(i) Due Execution by the Company. At least two (2) duly authorized Officers will sign each certificate representing any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

(ii) Countersignature by Transfer Agent. No Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be valid until the certificate representing it is countersigned by the Transfer Agent. Each such certificate will be deemed to be duly countersigned only when an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent (or a duly appointed agent thereof) manually signs the countersignature block set forth in such certificate.

(e) Method of Payment; Delay When Payment Date is Not a Business Day.

(i) Method of Payment.

(1) Global Certificates. The Company will pay (or cause the Paying Agent to pay) all declared cash dividends or other cash amounts due on any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Global Certificate by wire transfer of immediately available funds or otherwise in accordance with the Depositary Procedures.

(2) Physical Certificates. The Company will pay (or cause the Paying Agent to pay) all declared cash dividends or other cash amounts due on any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate as follows:

(A) if the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Physical Certificate is at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) (or such lower amount as the Company may choose in its sole and absolute discretion) and the Holder of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock entitled to such cash dividend or amount has delivered to the Paying Agent, no later than the time set forth in the next sentence, a written request to receive payment by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account; and

17

(B) in all other cases, by check mailed to the address of such Holder set forth in the Register.

To be timely, such written request must be delivered no later than the Close of Business on the following date: (x) with respect to the payment of any declared cash dividend due on a Dividend Payment Date for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) with respect to any other payment, the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days immediately before the date such payment is due.

(ii) Delay of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations is not a Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, such payment may be made on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if such payment were made on such due date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no interest, dividend or other amount will accrue or accumulate on such payment as a result of the related delay). Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”

(f) Transfer Agent, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

(i) Generally. The Company will maintain (1) an office or agency in the continental United States where Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”); (2) an office or agency in the continental United States where Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”); and (3) an office or agency in the continental United States where Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Transfer Agent will act as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

(ii) Duties of the Registrar. The Company will cause the Registrar to keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders, the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, Redemption and conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Transfer Agent may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly.

18

(iii) Co-Agents; Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Transfer Agent, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars, co-Paying Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, under this Certificate of Designations. Subject to Section 3(f)(i), the Company may at any time change or rescind the designation of any Transfer Agent or any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act as a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent) without notice to any Holder; provided, however, that the Company will not remove a Person acting as Transfer Agent under this Certificate of Designations until and unless a successor has been appointed and has accepted such appointment. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will notify such Holder of the name and address of each Share Agent or co-Share Agent.

(iv) Initial Appointments. The Company appoints the Transfer Agent as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar and the initial Conversion Agent.

(g) Legends.

(i) Global Certificate Legend. Each Global Certificate will bear the Global Certificate Legend (or any similar legend, not inconsistent with this Certificate of Designations, required by the Depositary for such Global Certificate).

(ii) Other Legends. The certificate representing any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Certificate of Designations, as may be required by applicable law or by any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is traded or quoted.

(iii) Acknowledgement and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate bearing any legend required by this Section 3(g) will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.

(h) Transfers and Exchanges; Transfer Taxes; Certain Transfer Restrictions.

(i) Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) Generally. Subject to this Section 3(h), Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate, and beneficial interests in Global Certificates representing any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Company will cause the Registrar to record each such transfer or exchange in the Register.

(2) No Services Charge; Transfer Taxes. The Company and the Share Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, but the Company, the Transfer Agent, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3(i) or Section 3(q) not involving any transfer.

19

(3) No Transfers or Exchanges of Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, all transfers or exchanges of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock must be in an amount representing a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and no fractional share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be transferred or exchanged.

(4) Legends. Each certificate representing any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that is issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g).

No Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Global Certificate may be transferred to, or exchanged for, Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more Physical Certificates; provided, however, that:

(A) a Global Certificate will be exchanged, pursuant to customary procedures, for one or more Physical Certificates if:

(I) (x) the Depositary notifies the Company or the Transfer Agent that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Certificate or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act and, in each case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation; or

20

(II) the Company, in its sole discretion, permits the exchange of any beneficial interest in such Global Certificate for Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more Physical Certificates at the request of the owner of such beneficial interest; and

(B) beneficial interests in Global Certificates held by any direct or indirect Depositary Participant may also be exchanged for Physical Certificates upon request to the Depositary by such direct Depositary Participant (for itself or on behalf of an indirect Depositary Participant), to the Transfer Agent in accordance with their respective customary procedures.

(2) Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Certificate of Designations to effect a transfer or exchange of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Global Certificate:

(A) the Company will cause the Transfer Agent or Registrar to reflect any resulting decrease of the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Certificate” forming part of such Global Certificate (and, if such notation results in such Global Certificate representing zero shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Company may (but is not required to) instruct the Transfer Agent to cancel such Global Certificate pursuant to Section 3(m));

(B) if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Company will cause the Transfer Agent or Registrar to reflect any resulting increase of the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by any other Global Certificate by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Certificate” forming part of such other Global Certificate;

(C) if required to effect such transfer or exchange, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), a new Global Certificate bearing each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g); and

(D) if the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate, or any beneficial interest therein, is to be exchanged for Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more Physical Certificates, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), one or more Physical Certificates that (x) each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of

21

Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate that are to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in such name(s) as the Depositary specifies (or as otherwise determined pursuant to customary procedures); and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g).

(3) Each transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in any Global Certificate will be made in accordance with the Depositary Procedures.

(iii) Transfers and Exchanges of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Represented by Physical Certificates.

(1) Subject to this Section 3(h), a Holder of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate may (x) transfer any whole number of shares of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to one or more other Person(s); (y) exchange any whole number of shares of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more other Physical Certificates; and (z) if then permitted by the Depositary Procedures, transfer any whole number of shares of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for a beneficial interest in the same number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more Global Certificates; provided, however, that, to effect any such transfer or exchange, such Holder must surrender such Physical Certificate representing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Transfer Agent or the Registrar, together with any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company, the Transfer Agent or the Registrar.

(2) Upon the satisfaction of the requirements of this Certificate of Designations to effect a transfer or exchange of any whole number of shares of a Holder’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate (such Physical Certificate being referred to as the “old Physical Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(h)(iii)(2)):

(A) such old Physical Certificate will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 3(m);

(B) if only part of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Physical Certificate is to be so transferred or exchanged, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), one or more Physical Certificates that (x) each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Physical Certificate not to be so transferred or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g);

22

(C) in the case of a transfer:

(I) to the Depositary or a nominee thereof that will hold its interest in the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be so transferred in the form of one or more Global Certificates, the Company will cause the Transfer Agent or Registrar to reflect an increase in the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more existing Global Certificates by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Certificate” forming part of such Global Certificate(s), which increase(s) are each in whole numbers of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and aggregate to the total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be so transferred, and which Global Certificate(s) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g); provided, however, that if such transfer cannot be so effected by notation on one or more existing Global Certificates (whether because no Global Certificates bearing each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g) then exist, because any such increase will result in any Global Certificate representing a number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock exceeding the maximum number permitted by the Depositary or otherwise), then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), one or more Global Certificates that (x) each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that are to be so transferred but that are not effected by notation as provided above; and (y) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g); and

(II) to a transferee that will hold its interest in the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be so transferred in the form of one or more Physical Certificates, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(g), one or more Physical Certificates that (x) each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be so transferred; (y) are registered in the name of such transferee; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g); and

23

(D) in the case of an exchange, the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), one or more Physical Certificates that (x) each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be so exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of the Person to whom such old Physical Certificate was registered; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g).

(iv) Transfers of Shares Subject to Redemption or Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, the Company, the Transfer Agent and the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that has been surrendered for conversion or has been called for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice, except to the extent that the Company fails to pay the related Redemption Price when due.

(i) Exchange and Cancellation of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to Be Redeemed or Converted.

(i) Partial Conversions. If only a portion of a Holder’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate (such Physical Certificate being referred to as the “old Physical Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(i)(i)) is to be converted pursuant to Section 9, then, as soon as reasonably practicable after such old Physical Certificate is surrendered for such conversion, the Company will cause such old Physical Certificate to be exchanged, pursuant and subject to Section 3(h)(iii), for (1) one or more Physical Certificates that each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Physical Certificate that are not to be so converted, and deliver such Physical Certificate(s) to such Holder; and (2) a Physical Certificate representing a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Physical Certificate that are to be so converted, which Physical Certificate will be converted pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designations; provided, however, that the Physical Certificate referred to in this clause (2) need not be issued at any time after which such shares subject to such conversion are deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 3(o)(iv).

24

(ii) Cancellation of Redeemed or Converted Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(1) Physical Certificates. If a Holder’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate (or any portion thereof that has not theretofore been exchanged pursuant to Section 3(i)(i)) (such Physical Certificate being referred to as the “old Physical Certificate” for purposes of this Section 3(i)(ii)(1)) is to be converted pursuant to Section 9 or repurchased pursuant to a Redemption, then, promptly after the later of the time such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 3(o) and the time such old Physical Certificate is surrendered for such conversion or repurchase, as applicable, (A) such old Physical Certificate will be cancelled pursuant to Section 3(m); and (B) in the case of a partial conversion, the Company will issue, execute and deliver to such Holder, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), one or more Physical Certificates that (x) each represent a whole number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the aggregate, represent a total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such old Physical Certificate that are not to be so converted; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 3(g).

(2) Global Certificates. If a Holder’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Global Certificate (or any portion thereof) is to be converted pursuant to Section 9 or repurchased pursuant to a Redemption, then, promptly after the time such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is deemed to cease to be outstanding pursuant to Section 3(o), the Company will cause the Transfer Agent or Registrar to reflect a decrease of the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate in an amount equal to the number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate that are to be so converted or repurchased, as applicable, by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Certificate” forming part of such Global Certificate (and, if the number of shares represented by such Global Certificate is zero following such notation, cancel such Global Certificate pursuant to Section 3(m)).

(j) Status of Retired Shares. Upon any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ceasing to be outstanding, such share will be deemed to be retired and to resume the status of an authorized and unissued share of preferred stock of the Company, and such share cannot thereafter be reissued as Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(k) Replacement Certificates. If a Holder of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock claims that the certificate(s) representing such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), a replacement certificate representing such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock upon surrender to the Company or the Transfer Agent of such mutilated certificate, or upon delivery to the Company or the Transfer Agent of evidence of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking reasonably satisfactory to the Transfer Agent and the Company. In the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken certificate representing any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company and the Transfer Agent may require the Holder thereof to provide such security or indemnity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent to protect the Company and the Transfer Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such certificate is replaced.

25

Every replacement Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Section 3(k) will, upon such replacement, be deemed to be outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, entitled to all of the benefits of this Certificate of Designations equally and ratably with all other Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(l) Registered Holders; Certain Rights with Respect to Global Certificates. Only the Holder of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have rights under this Certificate of Designations as the owner of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Depositary Participants, as such, will have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by any Global Certificate held on their behalf by the Depositary or its nominee, or by the Transfer Agent as its custodian, and the Company and the Share Agents, and their respective agents, may treat the Depositary as the absolute owner of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate for all purposes whatsoever; provided, however, that (i) the Holder of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by any Global Certificate may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Depositary Participants and Persons that hold interests in Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock through Depositary Participants, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such Global Certificate under this Certificate of Designations; and (ii) the Company and the Share Agents, and their respective agents, may give effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary. 

(m) Cancellation. Without limiting the generality of the last sentence of Section 3(p), the Company may at any time deliver Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will forward to the Transfer Agent each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Company will cause the Transfer Agent to promptly cancel all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures. 

(n) Shares Held by the Company or its Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of Sections 3(o) and 3(p), in determining whether the Holders of the required number of outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, if applicable Voting Parity Stock) have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates will be deemed not to be outstanding.

26

(o) Outstanding Shares.

(i) Generally. The shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that, at such time, have been duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Transfer Agent, excluding those shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that have theretofore been (1) cancelled by the Transfer Agent or delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation in accordance with Section 3(m); (2) assigned a number of outstanding shares of zero by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Certificate” forming part of the Global Certificate representing such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; (3) paid or settled in full upon their conversion or Redemption in accordance with this Certificate of Designations; or (4) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 3(o).

(ii) Replaced Shares. If any certificate representing any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is replaced pursuant to Section 3(k), then such share will cease to be outstanding at the time of such replacement, unless the Transfer Agent and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such share is held by a “bona fide purchaser” under applicable law.

(iii) Shares Called for Redemption. If, on an Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date, the Paying Agent holds consideration in kind and amount that is sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price due on such date, then (unless there occurs a default in the payment of the Redemption Price): (1) the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding (without limiting the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5(c)); and (2) the rights of the Holders of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, as such, will terminate with respect to such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price as provided in Section 7 (and, if applicable, declared dividends as provided in Section 5(c)).

(iv) Shares to Be Converted. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted, such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will (unless there occurs a default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Section 9 upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding (without limiting the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5(c)).

(p) Repurchases by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality Section 3(m) and the next sentence, the Company may, from time to time, directly or indirectly repurchase or otherwise acquire Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in open market purchases or in negotiated transactions without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders. The Company will promptly deliver to the Transfer Agent for cancellation all Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have purchased or otherwise acquired. 

(q) Notations and Exchanges. Without limiting any rights of Holders pursuant to Section 8, if any amendment, supplement or waiver to the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designations changes the terms of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of the certificate representing such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to deliver such certificate to the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such

27

certificate and return such certificate to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, issue, execute and deliver, and cause the Transfer Agent to countersign, in each case in accordance with Section 3(d), a new certificate representing such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new certificate representing any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3(q) will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

(r) CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company may use one or more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and, if so, the Company will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in notices to Holders; provided, however, that the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number. 

Section 4. Ranking. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will rank (a) senior to (i) Dividend Junior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Junior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; (b) equally with (i) Dividend Parity Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Parity Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up; and (c) junior to (i) Dividend Senior Stock with respect to the payment of dividends; and (ii) Liquidation Senior Stock with respect to the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 5. Dividends.

(a) Generally.

(i) Accumulation and Payment of Dividends. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a rate per annum equal to the Stated Dividend Rate on the Liquidation Preference thereof, whether or not declared or funds are legally available for their payment. Subject to the rights of holders of any Dividend Senior Stock and the other provisions of this Section 5, such dividends will be payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for their payment to the extent paid in cash, quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. Dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate from, and including, the last date to which dividends have been paid (or, if no dividends have been paid, from, and including, the Initial Issue Date) to, but excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date, and dividends will cease to accumulate from and after May 1, 2028. No interest, dividend or other amount will accrue or accumulate on any dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that is not declared or paid on the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

(ii) Computation of Accumulated Dividends. Accumulated dividends will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

28

(iii) Priority of the Application of Dividend Payments to Arrearages. Each payment of declared dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be applied to the earliest Dividend Period for which dividends have not yet been paid.

(b) Method of Payment.

(i) Generally. Each declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be paid in cash unless the Company elects, by sending written notice to each Holder no later than the tenth (10th) Scheduled Trading Day before the applicable Dividend Payment Date, to pay all or any portion of such dividend in shares of Class A Common Stock. Such written notice must state the total dollar amount of the declared dividend per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the respective dollar portions thereof that will be paid in cash and in shares of Class A Common Stock. Any such election made in such written notice, once sent, will be irrevocable (as to the applicable declared dividend) and will apply to all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding. The Company will not be permitted to send such a written notice if it conflicts with any irrevocable election that the Company has made pursuant to the following paragraph.

In addition, the Company will have the right, exercisable by sending notice to each Holder, to elect to irrevocably fix the respective percentage portions of the dollar amounts of all future declared dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that will be paid in cash and in shares of Class A Common Stock. If the Company makes such an irrevocable election, then such election will apply to all declared dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock whose Regular Record Date occurs on or after the fifth (5th) Scheduled Trading Day after the date on which the Company has sent notice of such irrevocable election to the Holders. If the Company makes an irrevocable election pursuant to this paragraph, then the Company will, substantially concurrently, either post the substance of such irrevocable election on its website or disclose the same in a current report on Form 8-K (or any successor form) that is filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

(ii) Construction. References in this Certificate of Designations to dividends “paid” on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and any other similar language, will be deemed to include dividends paid thereon in shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5.

(iii) Dividends Paid Partially or Entirely in Shares of Class A Common Stock.

(1) Generally. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock payable in respect of any dollar amount of a declared dividend that the Company has duly elected to pay in shares of Class A Common Stock will be (x) such dollar amount, divided by (y) the Dividend Stock Price for such dividend; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, in no event will the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as payment for a declared dividend exceed an amount equal to (x) the total dollar amount of

29

such declared dividend per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the portion thereof that the Company has not elected to pay in shares of Class A Common Stock), divided by (y) the Floor Price in effect on the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Dividend Stock Price Observation Period. If the dollar amount of such declared dividend per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that the Company has duly elected to pay in shares of Class A Common Stock exceeds the product of such Dividend Stock Price and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock delivered or deliverable (without regard to the Company’s obligation to pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock) per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of such dividend, then the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, declare and pay, on the relevant Dividend Payment Date, such excess amount in cash ratably in respect of all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(2) Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Class A Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5(b)(iii)(1), but subject to Section 12(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Class A Common Stock otherwise issuable as payment for all or any portion of a declared dividend that the Company has elected to pay in shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, pay cash based on the Daily VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant Dividend Stock Price Observation Period.

(3) When Holders Become Stockholders of Record of Shares of Class A Common Stock Issued as Payment for a Declared Dividend. If the Company has elected to pay all or any portion of a declared dividend on any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of Class A Common Stock, then such shares of Class A Common Stock, when issued, will be registered in the name of the Holder of such share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Close of Business on the related Regular Record Date, and such Holder will be deemed to become the holder of record of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Dividend Stock Price Observation Period.

(4) Settlement Delayed if Necessary to Calculate the Dividend Stock Price. If the Company has elected to pay all or any portion of a declared dividend in shares of Class A Common Stock and the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Dividend Stock Price Observation Period occurs on or after the related Dividend Payment Date, then the payment of such declared dividend will be made on the Business Day immediately after such last VWAP Trading Day and no interest, dividend or other amount will accrue or accumulate during the related period as a result of the related delay.

30

(5) Securities Laws Matters. If, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock as payment for any declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, or the resale of those shares by Holders or beneficial owners that are not, and have not at any time during the preceding three (3) months been, an Affiliate of the Company, requires registration under the Securities Act, then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(A) file and cause there to become effective under the Securities Act a registration statement covering such issuance or covering such resales from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, by such Holders or beneficial owners, as applicable;

(B) keep such registration statement effective under the Securities Act until all such shares are resold pursuant to such registration statement or are, or would be, eligible for resale without restriction, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule), by Holders or beneficial owners that are not, and have not at any time during the preceding three (3) months been, an Affiliate of the Company; and

(C) qualify or register such shares of Class A Common Stock under applicable U.S. state securities laws, to the extent required in the Company’s reasonable judgment.

(c) Treatment of Dividends Upon Redemption or Conversion. If the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date or Conversion Date, as the case may be, of any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is after a Regular Record Date for a declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption or conversion, as applicable, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared dividend on such share. 

Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, Section 7, Section 9(d)(ii) or Section 9(e)(iii), dividends on any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to accumulate from and after the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date or Conversion Date, as applicable, for such share.

(d) Priority of Dividends; Limitation on Junior Payments; No Participation Rights.

(i) Generally. Except as provided in Sections 5(d)(iii) and 5(d)(iv), this Certificate of Designations will not prohibit or restrict the Company or the Board of Directors from declaring or paying any dividend or distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) on any class or series of the Company’s stock, and, unless such dividend or distribution is also declared on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.

(ii) Construction. For purposes of Sections 5(d)(iii) and 5(d)(iv), a dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been paid if such dividend is declared and consideration in kind and amount that is sufficient, in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, to pay such dividend is set aside for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto.

31

(iii) Limitation on Dividends on Parity Stock. If:

(1) less than all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have been declared and paid as of any Dividend Payment Date (or, in case of Dividend Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from those for the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, on a Dividend Payment Date falling within a regular dividend period related to such other dividend payment date); or

(2) the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that is less than the total amount of unpaid dividends on the outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that would accumulate to, but excluding, the Dividend Payment Date following such declaration,

then, until and unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends may be declared or paid on any class or series of Dividend Parity Stock unless dividends are simultaneously declared on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis, such that (A) the ratio of (x) the dollar amount of dividends so declared per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to (y) the dollar amount of the total accumulated and unpaid dividends per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the payment of such dividend is no less than (B) the ratio of (x) the dollar amount of dividends so declared or paid per share of such class or series of Dividend Parity Stock to (y) the dollar amount of the total accumulated and unpaid dividends per share of such class or series of Dividend Parity Stock immediately before the payment of such dividend (which dollar amount in this clause (y) will, if dividends on such class or series of Dividend Parity Stock are not cumulative, be the full amount of dividends per share thereof in respect of the most recent dividend period thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, any unpaid dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will continue to accumulate except as described in this Certificate of Designations.

(iv) Limitation on Junior Payments. Subject to the next sentence, if any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, then no dividends or distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) will be declared or paid on any Junior Stock, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value (whether in cash, securities or other property, or any combination of the foregoing) any Junior Stock, in each case unless all accumulated dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding for all prior completed Dividend Periods, if any, have been paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence will not apply to the following:

(1) dividends and distributions on Junior Stock that are payable solely in shares of Junior Stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share;

32

(2) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Junior Stock with the proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale of other Junior Stock;

(3) purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of Junior Stock in connection with the administration of any equity award or benefit or other incentive plan of the Company (including any employment contract) in the ordinary course of business, including (x) the forfeiture of unvested shares of restricted stock, or any withholdings (including withholdings effected by a repurchase or similar transaction), or other surrender, of shares that would otherwise be deliverable upon exercise, delivery or vesting of equity awards under any such plan or contract, in each case whether for payment of applicable taxes or the exercise price, or otherwise; (y) cash paid in connection therewith in lieu of issuing any fractional share; and (z) purchases of Junior Stock pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan to offset the dilution resulting from issuances pursuant to any such plan or contract; provided, however, that repurchases pursuant to this clause (z) will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iv)(3) only to the extent that the number of shares of Junior Stock so repurchased does not exceed the related Number of Incremental Diluted Shares;

(4) purchases, or other payments in lieu of the issuance, of any fractional share of Junior Stock in connection with the conversion, exercise or exchange of such Junior Stock or of any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Junior Stock;

(5) (x) dividends and distributions of Junior Stock, or rights to acquire Junior Stock, pursuant to a stockholder rights plan; and (y) the redemption or repurchase of such rights pursuant to such stockholder rights plan;

(6) purchases of Junior Stock pursuant to a binding contract (including a stock repurchase plan) to make such purchases, if such contract was in effect before the Initial Issue Date;

(7) the settlement of any convertible note hedge transactions or capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, of any debt securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable for, Class A Common Stock (or into or for any combination of cash and Class A Common Stock based on the value of the Class A Common Stock), provided such convertible note hedge transactions or capped call transactions, as applicable, are on customary terms and were entered into either (x) before the Initial Issue Date or (y) in compliance with the first sentence of this Section 5(d)(iv);

(8) the acquisition, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, of record ownership of any Junior Stock solely on behalf of Persons (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) that are the beneficial owners thereof, including as trustee or custodian; and

33

(9) the exchange, conversion or reclassification of Junior Stock solely for or into other Junior Stock, together with the payment, in connection therewith, of cash in lieu of any fractional share.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5(d)(iv) will not prohibit or restrict the payment or other acquisition for value of any debt securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable for, any Junior Stock.

Section 6. Rights Upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a) Generally. If the Company liquidates, dissolves or winds up, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will entitle the Holder thereof to receive payment for the following amount out of the Company’s assets or funds legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to the Company’s creditors and holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock and before any such assets or funds are distributed to, or set aside for the benefit of, any Liquidation Junior Stock (including Class A Common Stock):

(i) the Liquidation Preference per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; and

(ii) all unpaid dividends that will have accumulated on such share (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the date of such payment.

Upon payment of such amount in full on the outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights to the Company’s remaining assets or funds, if any. If such assets or funds are insufficient to pay such amount in full on all outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable in respect of all outstanding shares of Liquidation Parity Stock, if any, then, subject to the rights of any of the Company’s creditors or holders of any outstanding Liquidation Senior Stock, such assets or funds will be distributed ratably on the outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Liquidation Parity Stock in proportion to the full accumulated and unpaid respective distributions to which such shares would otherwise be entitled.

(b) Certain Business Combination Transactions Deemed Not to Be a Liquidation. For purposes of Section 6(a), the Company’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, or the sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than a sale, lease or other transfer in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to, another Person will not, in itself, constitute the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up for purposes of this Certificate of Designations, even if, in connection therewith, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing.

34

Section 7. Optional Redemption Upon an Acquisition Non-Occurrence Event.

(a) Generally. The Company will not have the right to redeem the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at the Company’s option unless an Acquisition Non-Occurrence Event occurs. If an Acquisition Non-Occurrence Event occurs, then, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, the Company will have the right, at its election, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date at the Redemption Price.

(b) Redemption Price. The Redemption Price that the Company will pay upon Redemption of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined depending on whether the Redemption Stock Price exceeds the Minimum Conversion Price in effect on the Trading Day immediately before the related Redemption Notice Date. 

(i) Redemption Stock Price Does Not Exceed the Minimum Conversion Price. If the Redemption Stock Price does not exceed the Minimum Conversion Price in effect on the Trading Day immediately before the related Redemption Notice Date, then the Redemption Price per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will consist of cash in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference of such share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock plus accumulated and unpaid dividends on such share to, but excluding, the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date for a declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then (1) pursuant to Section 5(c), the Holder of such share at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such Redemption, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Dividend Payment Date, such declared dividend on such share; and (2) the Redemption Price will not include such declared dividend on such share.

(ii) Redemption Stock Price Exceeds the Minimum Conversion Price.

(1) Generally. If the Redemption Stock Price exceeds the Minimum Conversion Price in effect on the Trading Day immediately before the related Redemption Notice Date, then, subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, the Redemption Price per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will consist of the following:

(A) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Redemption Option Value Share Amount for such share; and

(B) cash in an amount equal to the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount for such share;

provided, however, that the Company will have the right to elect to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Option Value Share Amount in cash, and the Company will have the right to elect to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount in shares of Class A Common Stock. To make such an election, the related Redemption Notice must state whether the Company is electing to pay all or any portion of the

35

Redemption Option Value Share Amount in cash and/or whether the Company is electing to pay all or a portion of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount in shares of Class A Common Stock and specify (x) the respective portions of the Redemption Option Value Share Amount per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that will be paid in cash versus in shares of Class A Common Stock; and (y) the respective dollar amounts of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that will be paid in cash versus in shares of Class A Common Stock. Any such election made in such Redemption Notice, once sent, will be irrevocable and will apply to all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed.

If the Company elects to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Option Value Share Amount in cash, then, subject to Section 12(b), the cash payable in respect of such portion will be the product of such portion and the Redemption Average VWAP. If the Company elects to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount in shares of Class A Common Stock, then, subject to Section 12(b):

(I) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in respect of such portion will be a number of shares (rounded to the nearest fourth (4th) decimal place) equal to (i) the dollar amount of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount to be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock, divided by (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price in effect on the last VWAP Trading Day of the Redemption Observation Period; and (y) ninety seven percent (97%) of the Redemption Average VWAP; and

(II) if the dollar amount of such Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount to be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock exceeds the product of (x) ninety seven percent (97%) of the Redemption Average VWAP and (y) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in respect thereof calculated in accordance the preceding clause (I) (and without regard to the Company’s obligation to pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock), then the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, declare and pay such excess amount in cash to the Holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed (and, if the Company declares less than all of such excess for payment, then such payment will be made pro rata on all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed).

(2) Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Class A Common Stock. Subject to Section 12(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Class A Common Stock otherwise due as payment for any portion of the Redemption Price, the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, pay cash based on the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the second (2nd) Trading Day preceding the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date.

36

(3) When Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Class A Common Stock Issuable Upon Redemption. If the consideration payable for the Redemption Price for any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed includes any share of Class A Common Stock, then such share of Class A Common Stock, when issued, will be registered in the name of the Holder of such share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day before the related Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date, and such Holder will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share of Class A Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day before such Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date.

(c) Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date. (i) The Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date will be a Business Day of the Company’s choosing that is no more than sixty (60), nor less than thirty (30), calendar days after the Redemption Notice Date; provided, however, that, if the Redemption Stock Price exceeds the Minimum Conversion Price in effect on the Trading Day immediately before the Redemption Notice Date, and the Company elects to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Option Value Share Amount in cash or to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount in shares of Class A Common Stock, then the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date will be the second (2nd) Business Day after the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Redemption Observation Period.

(d) Redemption Notice. To exercise the Company’s right to redeem the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of an Acquisition Non-Occurrence Event, the Company must send notice (the “Redemption Notice”) of the Redemption to each Holder within ten (10) Business Days after the date such Acquisition Non-Occurrence Event occurs. Substantially contemporaneously, the Company will issue a press release through such national newswire service as it then uses (or publish the same through such other widely disseminated public medium as the Company then uses, including its website) containing the information set forth in the Redemption Notice. Such Redemption Notice must state: 

(i) that an Acquisition Non-Occurrence Event has occurred and the Company’s has exercised its right to call all of the outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for Redemption, briefly describing the Company’s Redemption right under this Certificate of Designations;

(ii) the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date (or, if applicable, the scheduled Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date and a brief description that the actual Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date will occur on the second (2nd) Business Day after the last VWAP Trading Day of the related Redemption Observation Period);

(iii) the Redemption Price per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, if applicable, whether the Company has elected to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Option Value Share Amount in cash or to pay all or any portion of the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount in shares of Class A Common Stock;

37

(iv) if the Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date for a declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, that such dividend will be paid in accordance with Section 5(c);

(v) the name and address of the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent; and

(vi) the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

(e) Securities Laws Matters. If, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock as payment for all or any portion of the Redemption Option Value Share Amount or the Redemption Dividend Value Dollar Amount, or the resale of those shares by Holders or beneficial owners that are not, and have not at any time during the preceding three (3) months been, an Affiliate of the Company, requires registration under the Securities Act, then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 

(i) file and cause there to become effective under the Securities Act a registration statement covering such issuance or covering such resales from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, by such Holders or beneficial owners, as applicable;

(ii) keep such registration statement effective under the Securities Act until all such shares are resold pursuant to such registration statement or are, or would be, eligible for resale without restriction, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule), by Holders or beneficial owners that are not, and have not at any time during the preceding three (3) months been, an Affiliate of the Company; and

(iii) qualify or register such shares of Class A Common Stock under applicable U.S. state securities laws, to the extent required in the Company’s reasonable judgment.

Section 8. Voting Rights. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 8, as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(a) Right to Designate Two Preferred Stock Directors Upon a Dividend Non-Payment Event.

(i) Generally. If a Dividend Non-Payment Event occurs, then, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8(a), the Company will cause the authorized number of the Company’s directors to be increased by two (2) and the Holders, voting together as a single class with the holders of each other class or series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, will have the right to elect two (2) directors (such directors, the “Preferred Stock Directors”) to fill such two (2) new directorships at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if earlier, at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders called for such purpose in accordance with Section 8(a)(iii)) and at each following annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders until such Dividend Non-Payment Event has

38

been cured, at which time such right will terminate with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock until and unless a subsequent Dividend Non-Payment Event occurs; provided, however, that (1) as a condition (such condition, the “Director Qualification Requirement”) to the election of any such Preferred Stock Director, such election must not cause the Company to violate any rule of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange or other trading facility on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed or qualified for trading requiring that a majority of the Company’s directors be independent; and (2) the Board of Directors will at no time include more than two (2) Preferred Stock Directors. Upon the termination of such right with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all other outstanding Voting Parity Stock, if any, the term of office of each person then serving as a Preferred Stock Director will immediately and automatically terminate and the authorized number of the Company’s directors will automatically decrease by two (2). Each Preferred Stock Director will hold office until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or, if earlier, upon his or her death, resignation or removal or the termination of the term of such office as provided above in this Section 8(a)(i).

(ii) Removal and Vacancies of the Preferred Stock Directors.

(1) Removal. At any time, each Preferred Stock Director may be removed either (A) with cause in accordance with applicable law; or (B) with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the Holders, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, with similar voting rights that are then exercisable, representing a majority of the combined voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such Voting Parity Stock.

(2) Filling Vacancies. During the continuance of a Dividend Non-Payment Event, subject to the Director Qualification Requirement, a vacancy in the office of any Preferred Stock Director (other than vacancies before the initial election of the Preferred Stock Directors in connection with such Dividend Non-Payment Event) may be filled by the remaining Preferred Stock Director or, if there is no remaining Preferred Stock Director or such vacancy resulted from the removal of a Preferred Stock Director, by the affirmative vote of the Holders, voting together as a single class with the holders of each class or series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, with similar voting rights that are then exercisable, representing a majority of the combined voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such Voting Parity Stock.

(iii) The Right to Call a Special Meeting to Elect Preferred Stock Directors. During the continuance of a Dividend Non-Payment Event, the Holders, and holders of each class or series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, with similar voting rights that are then exercisable, representing at least twenty five percent (25%) of the combined voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such Voting Parity Stock will have the right to call a special meeting of stockholders for the election of Preferred Stock Directors (including an election to fill any vacancy in the office of any Preferred Stock Director). Such right may be exercised by written notice, executed by such Holders and

39

holders of Voting Parity Stock, as applicable, delivered to the Company at its principal executive offices (except that, in the case of any Global Certificate representing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or a global certificate representing such Voting Parity Stock, such notice must instead comply with the applicable Depositary Procedures). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(a)(iii), if the Company’s next annual or special meeting of stockholders is scheduled to occur within ninety (90) days after such right is exercised, and the Company is otherwise permitted to conduct such election at such next annual or special meeting, then such election will instead be included in the agenda for, and conducted at, such next annual or special meeting.

(b) Voting and Consent Rights with Respect to Specified Matters.

(i) Generally. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8(b), while any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, each of the following events will require, and cannot be effected without, the affirmative vote or consent of Holders, and holders of each class or series of Voting Parity Stock, if any, with similar voting or consent rights with respect to such event, representing at least two thirds (2/3rds) of the combined outstanding voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such Voting Parity Stock, if any:

(1) any amendment or modification of the Certificate of Incorporation to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized number of shares of, any class or series of Dividend Senior Stock or Liquidation Senior Stock;

(2) any amendment, modification or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designations that, individually or in the aggregate with all other such amendments, modifications or repeals made pursuant to this Section 8(b)(i)(2), materially and adversely affects the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (other than an amendment, modification or repeal permitted by Section 8(b)(iii)); or

(3) the Company’s consolidation or combination with, or merger with or into, another Person, or any binding or statutory share exchange or reclassification involving the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case unless:

(A) the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock either (x) remains outstanding after such consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification; or (y) is converted or reclassified into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, preference securities of the continuing, resulting or surviving Person of such consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification, or the parent thereof;

40

(B) the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that remains outstanding or such preference securities, as applicable, have rights, preferences and voting powers that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) to the Holders or the holders thereof, as applicable, than the rights, preferences and voting powers, taken as a whole, of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock immediately before the consummation of such consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification; and

(C) if not the Company, the issuer of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that remains outstanding or such preference securities, as applicable, is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (who, if not the Company, will, for the avoidance of doubt, succeed the Company under this Certificate of Designations);

provided, however, that (x) a consolidation, combination, merger, share exchange or reclassification that satisfies the requirements of clauses (A), (B) and (C) of Section 8(b)(i)(3) will not require any vote or consent pursuant to Section 8(b)(i)(1) or 8(b)(i)(2); and (y) each of the following will be deemed not to adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (or cause any of the rights, preferences or voting powers of any such preference securities to be “materially less favorable” for purposes of Section 8(b)(i)(3)(B)) and will not require any vote or consent pursuant to Section 8(b)(i)(1), 8(b)(i)(2) or 8(b)(i)(3):

(I) any increase in the number of the authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s undesignated preferred stock;

(II) any increase in the number of authorized or issued shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock;

(III) the creation and issuance, or increase in the authorized or issued number, of any class or series of stock that is neither Dividend Senior Stock nor Liquidation Senior Stock; and

(IV) the application of Section 9(h), including the execution and delivery of any supplemental instruments pursuant to Section 9(h)(iii) solely to give effect to such provision.

(ii) Where Some But Not All Classes or Series of Stock Are Adversely Affected. If any event set forth in Section 8(b)(i)(1), 8(b)(i)(2) or 8(b)(i)(3) would adversely (and, in the case of Section 8(b)(i)(2), individually or in the aggregate with all other amendments, modifications or repeals referred to in Section 8(b)(i)(2), materially) affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of one or more, but not all, classes or series of Voting Parity Stock (which term, solely for purposes of this sentence, includes the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), then those classes or series whose rights, preferences or voting powers would not be adversely (and, in the case of Section 8(b)(i)(2), individually or in the aggregate with all other amendments,

41

modifications or repeals referred to in Section 8(b)(i)(2), materially) affected will be deemed not to have voting or consent rights with respect to such event. Furthermore, an amendment, modification or repeal described in Section 8(b)(i)(2) above that, individually or in the aggregate with all other amendments, modifications or repeals referred to in Section 8(b)(i)(2), materially and adversely affects the special rights, preferences or voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock cannot be effected without the affirmative vote or consent of Holders, voting separately as a class, of at least two thirds (2/3rds) of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(iii) Certain Amendments Permitted Without Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8(b)(i)(2), the Company may amend, modify or repeal any of the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock without the vote or consent of any Holder to:

(1) cure any ambiguity or correct any omission, defect or inconsistency in this Certificate of Designations or the certificates representing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including the filing of a certificate of correction, or a corrected instrument, pursuant to Section 103(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law in connection therewith;

(2) conform the provisions of this Certificate of Designations or the certificates, if any, representing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to the “Description of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock” section of the Company’s preliminary prospectus supplement, dated April 30, 2025, relating to the initial offering and sale of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, as supplemented by the related pricing term sheet; or

(3) make any other change to the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designations or the certificates representing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that does not, individually or in the aggregate with all other such changes, adversely affect the rights of any Holder (other than any Holders that have consented to such change), as such, in any material respect (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith).

(c) Procedures for Voting and Consents.

(i) Rules and Procedures Governing Votes and Consents. If any vote or consent of the Holders will be held or solicited, including at a regular annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders, then the Board of Directors will adopt customary rules and procedures at its discretion to govern such vote or consent, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8. Such rules and procedures may include fixing a record date to determine the Holders (and, if applicable, holders of Voting Parity Stock) that are entitled to vote or provide consent, as applicable, rules governing the solicitation and use of proxies or written consents and customary procedures for the nomination and designation, by Holders (and, if applicable, holders of Voting Parity Stock), of Preferred Stock Directors for election. Without limiting the foregoing, the Persons calling any

42

special meeting of stockholders pursuant to Section 8(a)(iii) will, at their election, be entitled to specify one or more Preferred Stock Director nominees in the notice referred to in such section, if such special meeting is scheduled to include the election of any Preferred Stock Director (including an election to fill any vacancy in the office of any Preferred Stock Director).

(ii) Voting Power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock. Each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter on which the Holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class and not together with the holders of any other class or series of stock (except as provided in this Section 8 with respect to Voting Parity Stock). The respective voting powers of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and all classes or series of Voting Parity Stock entitled to vote on any matter together as a single class will be determined (including for purposes of determining whether a plurality, majority or other applicable portion of votes has been obtained) in proportion to their respective liquidation amounts. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, the liquidation amount of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or any such class or series of Voting Parity Stock will be the maximum amount payable in respect of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or such class or series, as applicable, assuming the Company is liquidated on the record date for the applicable vote or consent (or, if there is no record date, on the date of such vote or consent).

(iii) Voting Standard for the Election of Preferred Stock Directors. At any meeting in which the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, any class or series of Voting Parity Stock) is entitled to elect any Preferred Stock Director (including to fill any vacancy in the office of any Preferred Stock Director), the presence, in person or by proxy, of Holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, holders of each such class or series) representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, each such class or series) will constitute a quorum. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, if applicable, each such class or series) cast at such a meeting at which a quorum is present will be sufficient to elect the Preferred Stock Director(s).

(iv) Written Consent in Lieu of Stockholder Meeting. A consent or affirmative vote of the Holders pursuant to Section 8(b) may be given or obtained either in writing without a meeting or in person or by proxy at a regular annual meeting or a special meeting of stockholders.

Section 9. Conversion.

(a) Generally. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted only pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion or an Early Conversion. 

43

(b) Conversion Procedures.

(i) Mandatory Conversion. Mandatory Conversion will occur automatically, and without the need for any action on the part of the Holders, for all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that remain outstanding as of the Mandatory Conversion Date. The shares of Class A Common Stock due upon Mandatory Conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be registered in the name of, and, if applicable, the cash due upon such Mandatory Conversion will be delivered to, the Holder of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Close of Business on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(ii) Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversions and Other Early Conversions.

(1) Global Certificates. To convert a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate pursuant to an Early Conversion (including a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion), the owner of such beneficial interest must (x) comply with the Depositary Procedures for converting such beneficial interest (at which time such Early Conversion will become irrevocable); and (y) if applicable, pay any documentary or other taxes pursuant to Section 10(d).

(2) Physical Certificates. To convert any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a Physical Certificate pursuant to an Early Conversion (including a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion), the Holder of such share must (w) complete, manually sign and deliver to the Conversion Agent the Conversion Notice attached to such Physical Certificate or a facsimile of such Conversion Notice; (x) deliver such Physical Certificate to the Conversion Agent (at which time such Early Conversion will become irrevocable); (y) furnish any endorsements and transfer documents that the Company or the Conversion Agent may require; and (z) if applicable, pay any documentary or other taxes as pursuant to Section 10(d).

(3) Conversion Permitted only During Business Hours. Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may be surrendered for Early Conversion (including a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion) only after the Open of Business and before the Close of Business on a day that is a Business Day.

(iii) Treatment of Accumulated Dividends upon Conversion.

(1) Adjustments for Accumulated Dividends. Except as provided in Sections 9(d)(ii), 9(e)(iii)(1) and 9(e)(iii)(2), the Applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted to account for any accumulated and unpaid dividends on any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted.

(2) Conversions Between a Regular Record Date and a Dividend Payment Date. If the Conversion Date of any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted is after a Regular Record Date for a declared dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and on or before the next Dividend Payment Date, then such dividend will be paid pursuant to Section 5(c) notwithstanding such conversion.

44

(iv) When Converting Holders Become Stockholders of Record of the Shares of Class A Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Person in whose name any share of Class A Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion.

(v) Conversions of Fractional Shares Not Permitted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, in no event will any Holder be entitled to convert a number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that is not a whole number.

(c) Settlement Upon Conversion.

(i) Generally. Subject to Section 9(c)(ii) and Section 12(b), the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the following consideration per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to settle the conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as to which a Conversion Date has occurred:

(1) a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on such Conversion Date;

(2) in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, the cash amount, if any, due pursuant to Section 9(d)(ii)(2) in respect of any Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount on such share; and

(3) in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion, the cash amount, if any, due pursuant to Section 9(e)(iii)(2) in respect of any Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or Future Dividend Present Value Amount on such share.

(ii) Payment of Cash in Lieu of any Fractional Share of Class A Common Stock. Subject to Section 12(b), in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Class A Common Stock otherwise due upon conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, pay cash based on the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Class A Common Stock on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day).

(iii) Delivery of Conversion Consideration. The Company will (subject to the Depositary Procedures, in the case of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that is represented by any Global Certificate) pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.

45

(d) Mandatory Conversion.

(i) Generally. Unless previously converted or repurchased pursuant to a Redemption, each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that is outstanding on the Mandatory Conversion Date will (without the need for any action on the part of the Holder thereof, the Company or any other Person) be deemed to be submitted for conversion (a “Mandatory Conversion”) with a Conversion Date occurring on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(ii) Calculation of the Applicable Conversion Rate; Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount. The Applicable Conversion Rate for the Mandatory Conversion of any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is the Mandatory Conversion Rate; provided, however, that if, as of the Mandatory Conversion Date, an Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount exists for such share, then:

(1) the Applicable Conversion Rate for such Mandatory Conversion will be increased by a number of shares (rounded to the nearest fourth (4th) decimal place) equal to (A) such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount, divided by (B) the greater of (x) the Floor Price in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date; and (y) the Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price for such Mandatory Conversion; and

(2) if such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount exceeds the product of such Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price and such number of shares added to the Applicable Conversion Rate pursuant to clause (1) above, then the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, declare and pay such excess amount in cash (as Conversion Consideration) to the Holder of such share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted (and, if the Company declares less than all of such excess for payment, then such payment will be made pro rata on all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion).

(e) Early Conversion at the Option of the Holders.

(i) Generally. Holders will have the right to convert all or any portion of their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at any time until the Close of Business on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(ii) Right to Convert Shares Called for Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that are called for Redemption may not be submitted for conversion after the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately before the related Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption Date.

(iii) Calculation of the Applicable Conversion Rate; Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount and Future Dividend Present Value Amount.

46

(1) Early Conversions that Are Not Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversions. The Applicable Conversion Rate for the Early Conversion (other than a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion) of any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is the Minimum Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date for such Early Conversion; provided, however, that if, as of such Conversion Date, an Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount exists for such share, then:

(A) the Applicable Conversion Rate for such Early Conversion will be increased by a number of shares (rounded to the nearest fourth (4th) decimal place) equal to (I) such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount, divided by (II) the greater of (x) the Floor Price in effect on such Conversion Date; and (y) the Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price for such Early Conversion; and

(B) if such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount exceeds the product of such Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price and such number of shares added to the Applicable Conversion Rate pursuant to clause (A) above, then the Company will have no obligation to pay such excess in cash or any other consideration.

(2) Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversions. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the Early Conversion of any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock occurs during the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (such an Early Conversion, a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion”), then the Applicable Conversion Rate for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion is the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate in effect on such Conversion Date; provided, however, that if, as of the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, an Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or a Future Dividend Present Value Amount exists for such share, then the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, declare and pay such existing Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount, if any, and such existing Future Dividend Present Value Amount, if any, in cash (as Conversion Consideration) to the Holder of such share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, unless, in each case, the Company has elected (in accordance with Section 9(e)(iv)(2)) to pay all or any portion of such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or Future Dividend Present Value Amount in shares of Class A Common Stock, in which case:

(A) the Applicable Conversion Rate for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion will be increased by a number of shares (rounded to the nearest fourth (4th) decimal place) equal to (I) the dollar amount of such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or Future Dividend Present Value Amount, as applicable, to be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock, divided by (II) the greater of (x) the Floor Price in effect on such Conversion Date; and (y) the Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion; and

47

(B) if such dollar amount of such Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or Future Dividend Present Value Amount, as applicable, to be paid in shares of Class A Common Stock exceeds the product of such Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price and such number of shares added to the Applicable Conversion Rate in respect thereof pursuant to clause (A) above, then the Company will, to the extent it is legally able to do so, declare and pay such excess amount in cash (as Conversion Consideration) to the Holder of such share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock being converted (and, if the Company declares less than all of such excess for payment, then such payment will be made pro rata on all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted with a Conversion Date occurring during such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period).

(iv) Certain Provisions Applicable to Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversions.

(1) Calculation of Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate.

(A) Generally. Subject to Section 9(e)(iv)(1)(B), the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate” for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change means the conversion rate set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the immediately following paragraph) to the effective date and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

If such effective date or Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price is not set forth in the table above, then:

(I) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price is between two prices in the table above or the effective date is between two dates in the table above, then the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rates set forth for the higher and lower prices in the table above or the earlier and later dates in the table above, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable;

48

(II) if the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price is greater than $175.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 9(e)(iv)(1)(B)) per share, then the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate will be the Minimum Conversion Rate in effect on the relevant Conversion Date; and

(III) if the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price is less than $50.00 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 9(e)(iv)(1)(B)) per share, then the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate will be the Maximum Conversion Rate in effect on the relevant Conversion Date.

(B) Adjustment of Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Prices and Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rates. Whenever the Minimum Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 9(f)(i), each Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table in Section 9(e)(iv)(1)(A) will be automatically adjusted at the same time by multiplying such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price by a fraction whose numerator is the Minimum Conversion Rate immediately before such adjustment and whose denominator is the Minimum Conversion Rate immediately after such adjustment. The Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rates in the table in Section 9(e)(iv)(1)(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Boundary Conversion Rates are adjusted pursuant to Section 9(f)(i), subject to Section 9(f)(vii).

(2) Election to Pay All or any Portion of an Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or Future Dividend Present Value Amount in Shares of Class A Common Stock. Each of the Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount and the Future Dividend Present Value Amount payable pursuant to Section 9(e)(iii)(2) will be paid in cash, to the extent the Company is legally able to do so, unless the Company elects, in accordance with the next sentence, to pay all or any portion thereof in shares of Class A Common Stock. To make such an election, the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice must be sent no later than the Business Day after the effective date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change and must state such election and specify the respective dollar amounts of the Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or Future Dividend Present Value Amount, as applicable, per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that will be paid in cash and in shares of Class A Common Stock. Any such election made in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice, once sent, will be irrevocable and will apply to all conversions of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock with a Conversion Date occurring during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change

49

Conversion Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(e)(iv)(2), to the extent that the Company is not legally able to pay any portion of the Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount or the Future Dividend Present Value Amount in cash, the Company will elect to pay the same in shares of Class A Common Stock.

(3) Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice. No later than the Business Day after the effective date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will send notice to the Holders of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice”). Such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice must state:

(A) that a Make-Whole Fundamental Change has occurred, briefly stating the events causing such Make-Whole Fundamental Change;

(B) the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change;

(C) a brief description of the Holders’ right to convert their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate and, if applicable, to receive the Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount and the Future Dividend Present Value Amount;

(D) the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period;

(E) the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rate; and

(F) the Unpaid Accumulated Dividend Amount and Future Dividend Present Value Amount per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including the dollar amounts thereof that the Company has elected to pay in cash or in shares of Class A Common Stock;

(G) the Applicable Conversion Rate;

(H) the name and address of the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent; and

(I) the CUSIP and ISIN numbers, if any, of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

If the Company does not send such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice by the Business Day after such effective date, then the last day of the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period will be extended by the number of days from, and including, the Business Day after such effective date to, but excluding, the date the Company sends such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice. Subject to the preceding sentence, neither the failure to deliver a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice nor any defect in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Notice will limit the right of any Holder to effect a Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion of its Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or otherwise affect the validity of any proceedings relating to any such conversion.

50

(f) Boundary Conversion Rate Adjustments.

(i) Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates. Each Boundary Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(1) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If the Company issues solely shares of Class A Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Class A Common Stock, or if the Company effects a stock split or a stock combination of the Class A Common Stock (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Class A Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 9(h) will apply), then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:

Any adjustment made under this Section 9(f)(i)(1) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such stock split or stock combination, as applicable. If any dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination of the type described in this Section 9(f)(i)(1) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such stock split or stock combination, to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, stock split or stock combination not been declared or announced.

51

(2) Rights, Options and Warrants. If the Company distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Section 9(f)(i)(3)(A) and Section 9(f)(v) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the Record Date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Class A Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

Any increase made under this Section 9(f)(i)(2) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and will become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to such Boundary Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of only the rights, options or warrants, if any, actually distributed. In addition, to the extent that shares of Class A Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to such Boundary Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants.

52

For purposes of this Section 9(f)(i)(2), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Class A Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Class A Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(3) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.

(A) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Stock, excluding:

(I) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates is required (or would be required without regard to Section 9(f)(iii)) pursuant to Section 9(f)(i)(1) or 9(f)(i)(2);

(II) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates is required (or would be required without regard to Section 9(f)(iii)) pursuant to Section 9(f)(i)(4);

(III) rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 9(f)(v);

(IV) Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates is required (or would be required without regard to Section 9(f)(iii)) pursuant to Section 9(f)(i)(3)(B);

(V) a distribution solely pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Class A Common Stock, as to which Section 9(f)(i)(5) will apply; and

(VI) a distribution solely pursuant to a Class A Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 9(h) will apply,

53

then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that, if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to each Boundary Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder on such Record Date, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received in such distribution if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Maximum Conversion Rate in effect on such Record Date.

Any increase made under this Section 9(f)(i)(3)(A) will become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(B) Spin-Offs. If the Company distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to an Affiliate or Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Class A Common Stock Change Event, as to which Section 9(h) will apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Class A Common Stock, as to which Section 9(f)(i)(5) will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

54

where:

Any increase made under this Section 9(f)(i)(3)(B) will become effective at the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(f)(i)(3)(B), if the Conversion Date for any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, solely for purposes of determining the consideration due in respect of such conversion, such Spin-Off Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, and including, such Conversion Date.

To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 9(f)(i)(3)(B) is declared but not made or paid, each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

55

(4) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

where:

provided, however, that, if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates, each Holder will receive, for each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder on such Record Date, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received in such dividend or distribution if such Holder had owned, on such Record Date, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Maximum Conversion Rate in effect on such Record Date. Any increase made under this Section 9(f)(i)(4) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(5) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Class A Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Board of Directors) of the cash and other consideration paid per share of Class A Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Class A Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then each Boundary Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

56

where:

provided, however, that such Boundary Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 9(f)(i)(5), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. Any increase made under this Section 9(f)(i)(5) shall become effective at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(f)(i)(5), if the Conversion Date for any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted occurs during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period for such tender or exchange offer, then, solely for purposes of determining the consideration due in respect of such conversion, such Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period will be deemed to consist of the Trading Days occurring in the period from, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date to, and including, such Conversion Date.

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of shares of Class A Common Stock in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, each Boundary Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the applicable Boundary Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.

57

(ii) No Adjustments in Certain Cases.

(1) Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9(f)(i), the Company is not required to adjust the Boundary Conversion Rates for a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 9(f)(i) (other than a stock split or combination of the type set forth in Section 9(f)(i)(1) or a tender or exchange offer of the type set forth in Section 9(f)(i)(5)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Class A Common Stock, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and as if such Holder held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the Maximum Conversion Rate in effect on the related Record Date; and (B) the total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder on such Record Date.

(2) Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Boundary Conversion Rates except pursuant to Section 9(f)(i) (it being understood that adjustments to the Applicable Conversion Rate may be made pursuant to Section 9(d)(ii)(1), Section 9(e)(iii)(1) and Section 9(e)(iii)(2), and adjustments to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rates may be made pursuant to Section 9(e)(iv)(1)(B)). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be required to adjust the Boundary Conversion Rates on account of:

(A) except as otherwise provided in Section 9(f)(i), the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock for a purchase price that is less than the market price per share of Class A Common Stock or less than the Maximum Conversion Price or the Minimum Conversion Price;

(B) the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Class A Common Stock under any such plan;

(C) the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(D) the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or convertible or exchangeable security of the Company outstanding as of the Initial Issue Date; or

58

(E) solely a change in the par value of the Class A Common Stock.

(iii) Adjustment Deferral. If an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Boundary Conversion Rates, then the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (1) when all such deferred adjustments would, had they not been so deferred and carried forward, result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Boundary Conversion Rates; (2) the Conversion Date of any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock; (3) the date a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs; (4) the date the Company calls the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for Redemption; and (5) each VWAP Trading Day of the Mandatory Conversion Observation Period.

(iv) Special Provisions for Adjustments That Are Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, if:

(1) any share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is to be converted;

(2) the Record Date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 9(f)(i) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion, but an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date;

(3) the consideration due upon such conversion includes any whole shares of Class A Common Stock; and

(4) such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related Record Date or otherwise),

then, solely for purposes of determining the kind and amount of consideration due upon such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date. In such case, if the date the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.

(v) Stockholder Rights Plans. If any shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any stockholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise due upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such stockholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Class A Common Stock at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Boundary Conversion Rates will be adjusted pursuant to Section 9(f)(i)(3)(A) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section 9(f)(i)(3)(A) to all holders of Class A Common Stock, subject to potential readjustment in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 9(f)(i)(3)(A).

59

(vi) Determination of the Number of Outstanding Shares of Class A Common Stock. For purposes of Section 9(f)(i), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at any time will (1) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Class A Common Stock; and (2) exclude shares of Class A Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock held in its treasury).

(vii) Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Boundary Conversion Rates and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Rates and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Class A Common Stock (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).

(viii) Adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Prices. For the avoidance of doubt, at the time any adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 9(f)(i) becomes effective, each of the Maximum Conversion Price and the Minimum Conversion Price will automatically adjust in accordance with the definition of such term.

(ix) Notice of Boundary Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 9(f)(i), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders containing (1) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (2) the Boundary Conversion Rates and Boundary Conversion Prices in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (3) the effective time of such adjustment.

(g) Voluntary Conversion Rate Increases.

(i) Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase each Boundary Conversion Rate (with a corresponding decrease to the Boundary Conversion Prices pursuant to the definitions of such terms) by any amount if (1) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is in the Company’s best interest or that such increase is advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Class A Common Stock or rights to purchase Class A Common Stock as a result of any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) of Class A Common Stock or any similar event; (2) such increase is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; (3) such increase is irrevocable during such period; and (4) during such period, each Boundary Conversion Rate is increased by multiplying it by the same percentage factor.

60

(ii) Notice of Voluntary Increase. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Boundary Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 9(g)(i), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to in Section 9(g)(i), the Company will send notice to each Holder, the Transfer Agent and the Conversion Agent of such increase to the Boundary Conversion Rates and corresponding decrease to the Boundary Conversion Prices, the amounts thereof and the period during which such increase and decrease will be in effect.

(h) Effect of Class A Common Stock Change Event.

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Class A Common Stock, other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities;

(2) consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person;

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(4) statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger referred to in the preceding paragraph (2)),

in each case, as a result of which the Class A Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Class A Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Class A Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations,

(A) from and after the effective time of such Class A Common Stock Change Event, (I) the consideration due upon conversion of, or as payment for dividends on (including for purposes of determining whether a Dividend Non-Payment Event has occurred), or the Redemption Price for, any Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Class A Common Stock in this Section 9 or in Section 7, Section 5 and Section 10, as applicable, or in any related definitions, were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (II) for purposes of the definitions of “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” “Ex-Dividend Date” and “Record Date,” references to “Class A Common Stock” or the Company’s “Common Equity” will be deemed to mean the Common Equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property; and

61

(B) for purposes of determining the kind and amount of consideration due upon conversion or Redemption of, or as payment for dividends on, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per share of Class A Common Stock, by the holders of Class A Common Stock. The Company will notify the Holders of such weighted average as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination is made.

(ii) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Class A Common Stock Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 9(h).

(iii) Execution of Supplemental Instruments. On or before the date the Class A Common Stock Change Event becomes effective, the Company and, if applicable, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Class A Common Stock Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such supplemental instruments, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary or desirable to (1) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Boundary Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 9(f)(i) (and other related terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including the Boundary Conversion Prices and the Floor Price) in a manner consistent with this Section 9(h); and (2) give effect to such other provisions, if any, as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to Section 9(h)(i). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets (other than cash) of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental instrument(s) and such supplemental instrument(s) will contain such additional provisions, if any, that the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, each supplemental instrument, if any, entered into solely to give effect to this Section 9(h) will be permitted pursuant to Section 8(b)(i)(IV) without any vote or consent of any of the Holders.

62

(iv) Notice of Class A Common Stock Change Event. The Company will provide notice of each Class A Common Stock Change Event to Holders no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the effective date of the Class A Common Stock Change Event. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of the provisions in this Section 9(h).

Section 10. Certain Provisions Relating to the Issuance of Class A Common Stock.

(a) Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Whenever this Certificate of Designations requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices or Daily VWAPs, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate the Mandatory Conversion Stock Price, the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Stock Price, the Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price, the Dividend Stock Price, the Redemption Stock Price, the Redemption Average VWAP or an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates), the Company will make appropriate adjustments, if any, to those calculations to account for any adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates pursuant to Section 9(f)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Boundary Conversion Rates where the Ex-Dividend Date, effective date or Expiration Date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period. 

(b) Reservation of Shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company will reserve, out of its authorized, unreserved and not outstanding but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, for delivery upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be sufficient to settle the conversion of all shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, if any, at the Maximum Conversion Rate then in effect, as the same would be increased for a Mandatory Conversion assuming (A) the Company paid no dividends on the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date and (B) the Floor Price exceeds the applicable Dividend Make-Whole Stock Price. To the extent the Company delivers shares of Class A Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury in settlement of any obligation under this Certificate of Designations to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock, each reference in this Certificate of Designations to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock in connection therewith will be deemed to include such delivery of treasury shares.

(c) Status of Shares of Class A Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock delivered upon conversion of, or as payment for all or any portion of any declared dividends on, or the Redemption Price for, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will be a newly issued share or a treasury share and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim upon issuance or delivery (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of such Holder or the Person to whom such share of Class A Common Stock will be delivered). If the Class A Common Stock is then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such share of Class A Common Stock, when so delivered, to be admitted for listing

63

on such exchange or quotation on such system. In addition, if such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is then represented by a Global Certificate, then each such share of Class A Common Stock will be so delivered through the facilities of the applicable Depositary and (except to the extent contemplated by Section 5(b)(iii)(5)) identified by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number (and, if applicable, ISIN number). 

(d) Taxes Upon Issuance of Class A Common Stock. The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of, or as payment for all or any portion of any declared dividends on, or the Redemption Price for, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder, except any tax or duty that is due because such Holder requests those shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name. 

Section 11. No Preemptive Rights. Without limiting the rights of Holders set forth in this Certificate of Designations (including in connection with the issuance of Class A Common Stock or Reference Property upon conversion of, or as payment for dividends on or the Redemption Price for, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the Company’s securities. 

Section 12. Calculations.

(a) Responsibility; Schedule of Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designations, the Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Certificate of Designations or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including determinations of the Boundary Conversion Prices, the Boundary Conversion Rates, the Daily VWAPs, the Floor Price, the Last Reported Sale Prices and accumulated dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to any Holder upon written request. 

(b) Calculations Aggregated for Each Holder. The composition of the consideration due upon conversion of, or as payment for any declared dividends on, or the Redemption Price for, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder will (in the case of a Global Certificate, to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, the Depositary Procedures) be computed based on the total number of shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder being converted with the same Conversion Date, or held by such Holder at the Close of Business on the related Regular Record Date, or being redeemed, respectively. Any cash amounts due to such Holder in respect thereof will, after giving effect to the preceding sentence, be rounded to the nearest cent. 

Section 13. No Sinking Fund Obligations. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not be subject to any sinking fund or other obligation to redeem, repurchase or retire the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, except to the extent provided in Section 7 or Section 9. 

64

Section 14. Notices. The Company will send all notices or communications to Holders pursuant to this Certificate of Designations in writing by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the Holders’ respective addresses shown on the Register; provided, however, that, in the case of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock represented by one or more Global Certificates, the Company is permitted to send notices or communications to Holders pursuant to the Depositary Procedures, and notices and communications that the Company sends in this manner will be deemed to have been properly sent to such Holders in writing when sent to the Depositary in accordance with the Depositary Procedures.

Section 15. Legally Available Funds. Without limiting the other rights of the Holders (including pursuant to Section 6 and Section 8(a)), if the Company does not have sufficient funds legally available to fully pay any cash amount otherwise due on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, then the Company will pay the deficiency promptly after funds thereafter become legally available therefor (and, if applicable in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after satisfaction of the Company’s liabilities to its creditors and holders of any of its Liquidation Senior Stock).

Section 16. No Other Rights. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have no rights, preferences or voting powers except as provided in this Certificate of Designations or the Certificate of Incorporation or as required by applicable law.

Exhibit 10.1

SHIFT4 PAYMENTS, INC.

2026 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

ARTICLE I.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Plan is to assist Eligible Employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company.

The Plan consists of two components: (i) the Section 423 Component and (ii) the Non-Section 423 Component. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. The Non-Section 423 Component authorizes the grant of rights which need not qualify as rights granted pursuant to an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. Rights granted under the Non-Section 423 Component shall be granted pursuant to separate Offerings containing such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and Designated Subsidiaries but shall not be intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided herein, the Non-Section 423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the Section 423 Component. Offerings intended to be made under the Non-Section 423 Component will be designated as such by the Administrator at or prior to the time of such Offering.

For purposes of this Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan in which Eligible Employees will participate. The terms of these Offerings need not be identical, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Period(s) in each such Offering are identical, provided that the terms of participation are the same within each separate Offering under the Section 423 Component (as determined under Section 423 of the Code). Solely by way of example and without limiting the foregoing, the Company could, but shall not be required to, provide for simultaneous Offerings under the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component of the Plan.

ARTICLE II.

DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

Wherever the following terms are used in the Plan they shall have the meanings specified below, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

2.1 “Administrator” means the entity that conducts the general administration of the Plan as provided in Article XI.

2.2 “Agent” means the brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution, entity or person(s), if any, engaged, retained, appointed or authorized to act as the agent of the Company or an Employee with regard to the Plan.

2.3 “Applicable Law” means any applicable law, including without limitation, (a) provisions of the Code, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any rules or regulations thereunder; (b) corporate, securities, tax or other laws, statutes, rules, requirements or regulations, whether federal, state, local or foreign; and (c) rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded.

2.4 “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.5 “Code” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations issued thereunder.

2.6 “Common Stock” means Class A common stock of the Company and such other securities of the Company that may be substituted therefor.

2.7 “Company” means Shift4 Payments, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor.

2.8 “Compensation” of an Eligible Employee means, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the gross base salary or wages received by such Eligible Employee as compensation for services to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary (excluding overtime payments, bonuses (e.g., retention or sign-on bonuses or periodic (e.g., annual or quarterly) bonuses), sales compensation and commissions, military leave pay, education or tuition reimbursements, travel expenses, business and moving reimbursements, income received in connection with any equity awards or equity-linked awards, fringe benefits, other special payments and all contributions made by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary for the Employee’s benefit under any employee benefit plan now or hereafter established).

2.9 “Designated Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary designated by the Administrator in accordance with Section 11.2(b), such designation to specify whether such participation by Eligible Employees employed by such Designated Subsidiary is in the Section 423 Component or Non-Section 423 Component. All of the Eligible Employees of a Designated Subsidiary may participate in either the Section 423 Component or Non-Section 423 Component, but not both; provided that the Eligible Employees of a Subsidiary that, for U.S. tax purposes, is disregarded from the Company or any Subsidiary that participates in the Section 423 Component shall automatically constitute a Designated Subsidiary that participates in the Section 423 Component.

2.10 “Effective Date” means April 17, 2026.

2.11 “Eligible Employee” means:

(a) An Employee who does not, immediately after any rights under this Plan are granted, own (directly or through attribution) stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of Shares and other securities of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary (as determined under Section 423(b)(3) of the Code). For purposes of the foregoing, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code with regard to the attribution of stock ownership shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an individual, and stock that an Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Employee.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may provide in an Offering Document that an Employee shall not be eligible to participate in an Offering Period under the Section 423 Component if: (i) such Employee is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code; (ii) such Employee has not met a service requirement designated by the Administrator pursuant to Section 423(b)(4)(A) of the Code (which service requirement may not exceed two years); (iii) such Employee’s customary employment is for twenty (20) hours per week or less; (iv) such Employee’s customary employment is for less than five (5) months in any calendar year; and/or (v) such Employee is a citizen or resident of a foreign jurisdiction and the grant of a right to purchase Shares under the Plan to such Employee would be prohibited under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction or the grant of a right to purchase Shares under the Plan to such Employee in compliance with the laws of such foreign jurisdiction would cause the Plan to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, further, that any exclusion in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) shall be applied in an identical manner under each Offering Period to all Employees, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.423-2(e).

(c) Further notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Non-Section 423 Component, the Administrator may limit eligibility further within the Company or a Designated Subsidiary so as to only designate some Employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary as Eligible Employees, and (ii) to the extent the restrictions in the first sentence in this definition are not consistent with applicable local laws, the applicable local laws shall control.

2.12 “Employee” means any individual who renders services to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary in the status of an employee, and, with respect to the Section 423 Component, a person who is an employee of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 3401(c) of the Code. For purposes of an individual’s participation in, or other rights under the Plan, all determinations by the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive, notwithstanding that any court of law or governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination.

preceding calendar year and (b) such smaller number of Shares as determined by the Board.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1 to the contrary, the number of Shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to the rights granted under the Section 423 Component of the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 15,000,000 Shares, subject to Article VIII.

ARTICLE IV.

OFFERING PERIODS; OFFERING DOCUMENTS; PURCHASE DATES

4.1 Offering Periods. The Administrator may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of rights to purchase Shares under the Plan to Eligible Employees during one or more periods (each, an “Offering Period”) selected by the Administrator. The terms and conditions applicable to each Offering Period shall be set forth in an “Offering Document” adopted by the Administrator, which Offering Document shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate and shall be incorporated by reference into and made part of the Plan and shall be attached hereto as part of the Plan. The Administrator shall establish in each Offering Document one or more Purchase Periods during such Offering Period during which rights granted under the Plan shall be exercised and purchases of Shares carried out during such Offering Period in accordance with such Offering Document and the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings or Offering Periods under the Plan need not be identical.

4.2 Offering Documents. Each Offering Document with respect to an Offering Period shall specify (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference or otherwise):

(a) the length of the Offering Period, which period shall not exceed twenty-seven (27) months;

(b) the length of the Purchase Period(s) within the Offering Period;

(c) in connection with each Offering Period that contains only one Purchase Period the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased by any Eligible Employee during such Offering Period, which, in the absence of a contrary designation by the Administrator, shall be 750 Shares (and which, for the Section 423 Component Offering Periods, shall be subject to the limitations described in Section 5.5 below);

(d) in connection with each Offering Period that contains more than one Purchase Period, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be purchased by any Eligible Employee during each Purchase Period, which, in the absence of a contrary designation by the Administrator, shall be 750 Shares (and which, for the Section 423 Component Offering Periods, shall be subject to the limitations described in Section 5.5 below); and

(e) such other provisions as the Administrator determines are appropriate, subject to the Plan.

ARTICLE V.

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

5.1 Eligibility. Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of this Article V and, for the Section 423 Component, the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.

5.2 Enrollment in Plan.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan for an Offering Period by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company by such time prior to the Enrollment Date for such Offering Period (or such other date specified in the Offering Document) designated by the Administrator and in such form as the Company provides.

(b) Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, each subscription agreement shall designate a whole percentage of such Eligible Employee’s Compensation to be withheld by the Company or the Designated Subsidiary employing such Eligible Employee on each Payday during the Offering Period as payroll deductions under the Plan. The percentage of Compensation designated by an Eligible Employee may not be less than one percent (1%) and may not be more than the maximum percentage specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (which percentage shall be 15% in the absence of any such designation) as payroll deductions. The payroll deductions made for each Participant shall be credited to an account for such Participant under the Plan and shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company.

(c) A Participant may be allowed to increase or decrease the percentage of Compensation designated in his or her subscription or enrollment agreement, or may suspend his or her payroll deductions, subject to the limits of this Section 5.2; provided, however, that the Administrator may limit the number of changes a Participant may make to his or her payroll or fee deduction elections during each Purchase Period in the applicable Offering Document (and in the absence of any specific designation by the Administrator, a Participant shall be allowed to decrease (but not increase) or suspend his or her payroll deductions one time during each Purchase Period). Any such change or suspension shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document). In the event a Participant suspends his or her payroll deductions, such Participant’s cumulative payroll deductions prior to the suspension shall remain in his or her account and shall be applied to the purchase of Shares on the next occurring Purchase Date and shall not be paid to such Participant unless he or she withdraws from participation in the Plan pursuant to Article VII. The Administrator may further adopt rules restricting the time period during a Purchase Period or an Offering Period during which increases or decreases to payroll deductions may be made by Participants.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, a Participant may participate in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction and may not make contributions by lump sum payment for any Offering Period.

5.3 Payroll Deductions. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first Payday following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last Payday in the Offering Period to which the Participant’s authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Article VII or suspended by the Participant or the Administrator as provided in Section 5.2 and Section 5.6, respectively. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in the Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited, the Administrator may provide that an Eligible Employee may elect to participate through contributions to the Participant’s account under the Plan in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions; provided, however, that, for any Offering under the Section 423 Component, the Administrator shall take into consideration any limitations under Section 423 of the Code when applying an alternative method of contribution.

5.4 Effect of Enrollment. A Participant’s completion of a subscription agreement will enroll such Participant in the Plan for each subsequent Offering Period on the terms contained therein until the Participant either submits a new subscription agreement, withdraws from participation under the Plan as provided in Article VII or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan.

5.5 Limitation on Purchase of Shares. An Eligible Employee may be granted rights under the Section 423 Component only if such rights, together with any other rights granted to such Eligible Employee under “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary, as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit such employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined as of the first day of the Offering Period during which such rights are granted) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. This limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

5.6 Suspension of Payroll Deductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 5.5 (with respect to the Section 423 Component) or the other limitations set forth in this Plan, a Participant’s payroll deductions may be suspended by the Administrator at any time during an Offering Period. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been or may not be applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, Section 5.5 or the other limitations set forth in this Plan shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date (or such earlier date determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Offering Document).

5.7 Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate participation in the Plan, the Administrator may provide for such special terms applicable to Participants who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction, or who are employed by a Designated Subsidiary outside of the United States, as the Administrator may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Except as permitted by Section 423 of the Code, with respect to the Section 423 Component, such special terms may not be more favorable than the terms of rights granted under the Section 423 Component to Eligible Employees who are residents of the United States. Such special terms may be set forth in an addendum to the Plan in the form of an appendix or sub-plan (which appendix or sub-plan may be designed to govern Offerings under the Section 423 Component or the Non-Section 423 Component, as determined by the Administrator). To the extent that the terms and conditions set forth in an appendix or sub-plan conflict with any provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the appendix or sub-plan shall govern. The adoption of any such appendix or sub-plan shall be pursuant to Section 11.2(g). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures, with respect to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions, regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions.

5.8 Leave of Absence. During leaves of absence approved by the Company meeting the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.421-1(h)(2) under the Code, a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on his or her normal Payday equal to the Participant’s authorized payroll deduction.

ARTICLE VI.

GRANT AND EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

6.1 Grant of Rights. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted a right to purchase the maximum number of Shares specified under Section 4.2, subject to the limits in Section 5.5, and shall have the right to buy, on each Purchase Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price), such number of whole Shares as is determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date, by (b) the applicable Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest Share). The right shall expire on the earliest of: (x) the last Purchase Date of the Offering Period, (y) the last day of the Offering Period, and (z) the date on which the Participant withdraws in accordance with Section 7.1 or Section 7.3.

6.2 Exercise of Rights. On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and any other additional payments specifically provided for in the applicable Offering Document will be applied to the purchase of whole Shares, up to the maximum number of Shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering Document, at the Purchase Price. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the Plan, unless the Offering Document specifically provides otherwise. Any cash in lieu of fractional Shares remaining after the purchase of whole Shares upon exercise of a purchase right will be returned to the Participant in one lump sum payment in a subsequent payroll check unless the Administrator provides in an Offering Document that such amounts should instead be credited to a Participant’s account and carried forward and applied toward the purchase of whole Shares for the next following Offering Period. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may determine and may be issued in certificated form or issued pursuant to book-entry procedures.

6.3 Pro Rata Allocation of Shares. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which rights are to be exercised may exceed (a) the number of Shares that were available for issuance under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (b) the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants for whom rights to purchase Shares are to be exercised pursuant to this Article VI on such Purchase Date, and shall either (i) continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (ii) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Article IX. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date or such earlier date as determined by the Administrator.

6.4 Withholding. At the time a Participant’s rights under the Plan are exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Shares issued under the Plan are disposed of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the exercise of the right or the disposition of the Shares. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation or Shares received pursuant to the Plan the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Shares by the Participant. 

6.5 Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for, or make any book entries evidencing, Shares purchased upon the exercise of rights under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the Shares are then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; (d) the payment to the Company of all amounts that it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law upon exercise of the rights, if any; and (e) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the rights as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

ARTICLE VII.

WITHDRAWAL; CESSATION OF ELIGIBILITY

7.1 Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw all but not less than all of the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her rights under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company no later than one month prior to the end of the Offering Period (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document). All of the Participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account during an Offering Period shall be paid to such Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of Shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the next Offering Period unless the Participant is an Eligible Employee and timely delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

7.2 Future Participation. A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary or in subsequent Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

7.3 Cessation of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to this Article VII and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 12.4, as soon as reasonably practicable and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated. If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component to any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component, such transfer shall not be treated as a termination of employment under the Plan, but the Participant shall immediately cease to participate in the Section 423 Component; however, any contributions made for the Offering Period in which such transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-Section 423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-Section 423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the Participant’s participation in the Section 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in such Offering. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component shall not be treated as terminating the Participant’s employment under the Plan and shall remain a Participant in the Non-Section 423 Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component or (ii) the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period in which the Participant is eligible to participate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between entities participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

ARTICLE VIII.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN SHARES

8.1 Changes in Capitalization. Subject to Section 8.3, in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), change in control, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase, redemption, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, as determined by the Administrator, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any outstanding purchase rights under the Plan, the Administrator shall make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 and the limitations established in each Offering Document pursuant to Section 4.2 on the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased); (b) the class(es) and number of Shares and price per Share subject to outstanding rights; and (c) the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

8.2 Other Adjustments. Subject to Section 8.3, in the event of any transaction or event described in Section 8.1 or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any right under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

(a) To provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding right in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such right had such right been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding right with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

(b) To provide that the outstanding rights under the Plan shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar rights covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(c) To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding rights under the Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding rights and rights that may be granted in the future;

(d) To provide that Participants’ accumulated payroll deductions may be used to purchase Shares prior to the next occurring Purchase Date on such date as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion and the Participants’ rights under the ongoing Offering Period(s) shall be terminated; and

(e) To provide that all outstanding rights shall terminate without being exercised.

8.3 No Adjustment Under Certain Circumstances. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, no adjustment or action described in this Article VIII or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Section 423 Component of the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

8.4 No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to outstanding rights under the Plan or the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

ARTICLE IX.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

9.1 Amendment, Modification and Termination. The Administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that approval of the Company’s stockholders shall be required to amend the Plan to: (a) increase the aggregate number, or change the type, of shares that may be sold pursuant to rights under the Plan under Section 3.1 (other than an adjustment as provided by Article VIII) or (b) change the corporations or classes of corporations whose employees may be granted rights under the Plan.

9.2 Certain Changes to Plan. Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected (and, with respect to the Section 423 Component of the Plan, after taking into account Section 423 of the Code), the Administrator shall be entitled to change or terminate the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld from Compensation during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of payroll withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Shares for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion to be advisable that are consistent with the Plan.

9.3 Actions In the Event of Unfavorable Financial Accounting Consequences. In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequences including, but not limited to:

(a) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price;

(b) shortening any Offering Period so that the Offering Period ends on a new Purchase Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the Administrator action; and

(c) allocating Shares.

Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval or the consent of any Participant.

9.4 Payments Upon Termination of Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, the balance in each Participant’s Plan account shall be refunded as soon as practicable after such termination, without any interest thereon, or the Offering Period may be shortened so that the purchase of Shares occurs prior to the termination of the Plan.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Administrator of the Plan shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board (or another committee or a subcommittee of the Board to which the Board delegates administration of the Plan). The Board may at any time vest in the Board any authority or duties for administration of the Plan. The Administrator may delegate administrative tasks under the Plan to an Agent or Employees to assist in the administration of the Plan, including establishing and maintaining an individual securities account under the Plan for each Participant.

11.2 Authority of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

(a) To determine when and how rights to purchase Shares shall be granted and the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be identical).

(b) To designate from time to time which Subsidiaries of the Company shall be Designated Subsidiaries, which designation may be made without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

(c) To impose a mandatory holding period pursuant to which Employees may not dispose of or transfer Shares purchased under the Plan for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(d) To construe and interpret the Plan and rights granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Administrator, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

(e) To amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as provided in Article IX.

(f) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Administrator deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code for the Section 423 Component.

(g) The Administrator may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Designated Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 3.1 hereof, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.

11.3 Decisions Binding. The Administrator’s interpretation of the Plan, any rights granted pursuant to the Plan, any subscription agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Administrator with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.

ARTICLE XII.

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Restriction upon Assignment. A right granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by will or the Applicable Laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. Except as provided in Section 12.4 hereof, a right under the Plan may not be exercised to any extent except by the Participant. The Company shall not recognize and shall be under no duty to recognize any assignment or alienation of the Participant’s interest in the Plan, the Participant’s rights under the Plan or any rights thereunder.

12.2 Rights as a Stockholder. With respect to Shares subject to a right granted under the Plan, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company, and the Participant shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder, until such Shares have been issued to the Participant or his or her nominee following exercise of the Participant’s rights under the Plan. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash securities, or other property) or distribution or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date of such issuance, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as determined by the Administrator.

12.3 Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions or contributions of a Participant under the Plan.

12.4 Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) A Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and/or cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to a Purchase Date on which the Participant’s rights are exercised but prior to delivery to such Participant of such Shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to exercise of the Participant’s rights under the Plan. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse.

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by written notice to the Company. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

12.5 Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

12.6 Equal Rights and Privileges. Subject to Section 5.7, all Eligible Employees will have equal rights and privileges under the Section 423 Component so that the Section 423 Component of this Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Subject to Section 5.7, any provision of the Section 423 Component that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code will, without further act or amendment by the Company, the Board or the Administrator, be reformed to comply with the equal rights and privileges requirement of Section 423 of the Code. Eligible Employees participating in the Non-Section 423 Component need not have the same rights and privileges as other Eligible Employees participating in the Non-Section 423 Component or as Eligible Employees participating in the Section 423 Component.

12.7 Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

12.8 Reports. Statements of account shall be given to Participants at least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

12.9 No Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person (including any Eligible Employee or Participant) the right to remain in the employ of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or affect the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any person (including any Eligible Employee or Participant) at any time, with or without cause.

12.10 Notice of Disposition of Shares. Each Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares purchased upon exercise of a right under the Section 423 Component of the Plan if such disposition or transfer is made: (a) within two years from the Enrollment Date of the Offering Period in which the Shares were purchased or (b) within one year after the Purchase Date on which such Shares were purchased. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

12.11 Governing Law. The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, disregarding any state’s choice of law principles requiring the application of a jurisdiction’s laws other than the State of Delaware.

12.12 Electronic Forms. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and in the discretion of the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may submit any form or notice as set forth herein by means of an electronic form approved by the Administrator. Before the commencement of an Offering Period, the Administrator shall prescribe the time limits within which any such electronic form shall be submitted to the Administrator with respect to such Offering Period in order to be a valid election.

12.13 Section 409A. The Section 423 Component of the Plan and the rights to purchase Shares granted pursuant to Offerings thereunder are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). Neither the Non-Section 423 Component nor any right to purchase Shares granted pursuant to an Offering thereunder is intended to constitute or provide for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that any right to purchase Shares granted under the Plan may be or become subject to Section 409A or that any provision of the Plan may cause a right to purchase Shares granted under the Plan to be or become subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, either through compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or with an available exemption therefrom.

12.14 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of the Plan shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, and with respect to the Section 423 Component, to satisfy the requirements for rights to purchase Shares granted pursuant to an “employee stock purchase plan” as set forth under Section 423 of the Code, but if any provision of the Plan or any Offering shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prohibited by or invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, or with respect to the Section 423 Component, does not satisfy Section 423 of the Code, then (a) such provision shall be deemed to be amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law and (b) all other provisions of the Plan and Offering shall remain in full force and effect.
