Section 3. Dividends.

(a) Series A Dividends on each outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall be cumulative and shall accrue at the applicable Dividend Rate on the Stated Amount and on any Accrued Dividends, from and including the Original Issue Date (or, for any subsequently issued and newly outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, from the Dividend Payment Date immediately preceding the issuance date of such Series A Preferred Shares) until such time as the Company pays the Series A Dividends or the Series A Preferred Shares are converted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, whether or not such Series A Dividends shall have been declared, whether or not there are profits, surplus, or other funds legally available for the payment of dividends, and whether or not restricted by the terms of any of the Company’s indebtedness outstanding at any time. Holders shall be entitled to receive Series A Dividends from time to time out of any assets of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. Series A Dividends, to the extent declared to be paid by the Company in accordance with this Section 3, shall be paid on each Dividend Payment Date, in either a cash amount per share or in PIK Shares, or in a combination thereof, at the election of the Company. Dividends shall accumulate in each Dividend Period. If any Dividend Payment Date otherwise would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, declared Series A Dividends shall be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accumulation of additional dividends. Series A Dividends shall be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. It is intended that all increases in the applicable divided rate as a result of any Dividend Payment Default or other non-payment of Accrued Dividends in cash will serve to reasonably compensate the Holders for the related consequences and increased risk, and not as a penalty or punishment. The Company acknowledges that the actual damages likely to result from any Dividend Payment Default or other non-payment of Accrued Dividends in cash are difficult to estimate and would be difficult for a Holder to prove.

In the event of a Dividend Payment Default, commencing with the next succeeding Dividend Period, the Dividend rate shall increase by a factor of 1.33, which factor shall be adjusted downward, pro rata, by the portion of Series A Dividends that have accrued in such Dividend Period that have been paid in cash and/or PIK Shares (“Default Adjustment”). A Default Adjustment shall occur on each relevant Dividend Payment Date for so long as any Dividend Payment Default occurs or continues during any Dividend Period. To the extent Accrued Dividends relating to a Dividend Payment Default are subsequently paid in cash and/or PIK Shares, the Default Adjustments relating to such Dividend Payment Default shall no longer be applied.

4

In the event of a PIK Payment of Accrued Dividends for a Dividend Period, commencing with the next succeeding Dividend Period, the Dividend Rate shall be increased by a factor of 1.30, which factor shall be adjusted downward, pro rata, by the portion of Accrued Dividends for such Dividend Period that have been paid in cash or not at all.

(b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of this Series remains outstanding, unless full Accrued Dividends on all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares through and including the most recently completed Dividend Period have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment, no dividend may be declared or paid or set aside for payment, and no distribution may be made, on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in stock that ranks junior to this Series in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Accumulated Series A Dividends in arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid on any date fixed by the Board of Directors, whether or not a Dividend Payment Date, to Holders on the record date for such payment, which may not be more than 60 days, nor less than five days, before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated Series A Dividends in arrears on all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and any Dividend Parity Stock shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been declared and set apart, payment of accumulated dividends in arrears on the Series A Preferred Shares and any such Dividend Parity Stock shall be made in order of their respective dividend payment dates, commencing with the earliest. If less than all dividends payable with respect to all Series A Preferred Shares and any Dividend Parity Stock are paid, any partial payment shall be made pro rata with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares and any Dividend Parity Stock entitled to a dividend payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate dividend amounts remaining due in respect of such shares at such time. Holders shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares, in excess of full cumulative Series A Dividends.

Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any Common Shares or Junior Stock from time to time out of any funds legally available therefor, and the shares of this Series shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

(c) Redemption and Repurchase of Junior Stock. So long as any share of this Series remains outstanding, unless full Accrued Dividends on all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares through and including the most recently completed Dividend Period have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment, no monies may be paid or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption or retirement of Junior Stock, nor shall any shares of Junior Stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company, directly or indirectly, other than:

(i) as a result of (x) a reclassification of Junior Stock, or (y) the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of stock that ranks junior to this Series in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; or

(ii) through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of stock that ranks junior to this Series in the payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Section 4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. Upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Company may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Stock, holders of this Series will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its shareholders an amount equal to the Stated Amount per share, together with an amount equal to all Accrued Dividends to the date of payment whether or not earned or declared (the “Liquidation Preference”).

5

(b) Partial Payment. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay the Liquidation Preference in full to all Holders and all holders of any Liquidation Preference Parity Stock, the amounts paid to the holders of this Series and to the holders of all Liquidation Preference Parity Stock shall be pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate Liquidation Preferences of this Series and all such Liquidation Preference Parity Stock. In any such distribution, the “Liquidation Preference” of any holder of stock of the Company other than this Series means the amount otherwise payable to such holder in such distribution (assuming no limitation on the assets of the Company available for such distribution), including an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends in the case of any holder of stock on which dividends accrue on a noncumulative basis and, in the case of any holder of stock on which dividends accrue on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to any unpaid, accrued, cumulative dividends, whether or not earned or declared, as applicable.

(c) Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of this Series and all holders of any Liquidation Preference Parity Stock, the holders of Junior Stock will be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Company according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 4, the merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company with or into any other corporation, including a transaction in which the holders of this Series receive cash or property for their shares, or the sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Section 5. No Redemption; No Sinking Fund. This Series is perpetual and has no maturity date. The shares of this Series shall not be redeemable and will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of this Series will have no right to require redemption of any shares of this Series.

Section 6. Conversion Rights.

(a) General. Holders shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of such Series A Preferred Shares into shares of Common Shares (the “Conversion Rights”):

(b) Optional Conversion Right of the Holders. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6 (including the conversion procedures set forth below), at any time and from time to time commencing on the first business day following the one-year anniversary of the closing date of the IPO and until the day falling on the eight-year anniversary of the closing date of the IPO, each Holder may elect to convert, in whole or in part, without the payment of additional consideration by such Holder, its shares of this Series into, subject to Section 6(c) below, a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate Stated Amount of the shares of this Series converted plus Accrued Dividends (but excluding any dividends declared but not yet paid) thereon on the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered divided by (ii) the Conversion Price, as defined in the following sentence. The “Conversion Price” for any conversion hereunder shall be the lower of (i) 150% of the IPO price per Common Share) (the “Pre-Determined Price”) and (ii) the Five-Day VWAP; provided that the Pre-Determined Price shall be subject to the adjustments set out in Section 6(c) below.

(c) Adjustment of Pre-Determined Price as a Result of Certain Corporate Actions.

| (i) | Adjustments to Pre-Determined Price. The Pre-Determined Price in effect at any time shall be adjusted as follows:

| (1) | Upon Capital Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger or Sale of Assets. If the Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person (other than any such event for which an adjustment is otherwise provided for pursuant to this Section 6(c)), then and in each such event each Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation or sale, receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or other change by holders of the number of Common Shares into which such Series A Preferred Shares might have been converted, as the case may be, immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6(c) with respect to the rights of the Holders after the reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or other change to the end that the provisions of this Section 6(c), including adjustment of the Pre-Determined Price then in effect for the Series A Preferred Shares and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.

6

| (2) | Upon Stock Dividend, Subdivision, Split or Combination. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares, or effect a subdivision or split of the outstanding Common Shares, the Pre-Determined Price in effect immediately before such stock dividend or distribution, subdivision or split shall be proportionately decreased and, conversely, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, effect a combination (including by means of a reverse stock split) of the outstanding Common Shares, the Pre-Determined Price in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 6(c)(i)(2) shall become effective immediately following the record date, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the applicable stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, split or combination.

| (3) | Upon Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all holders of record of the Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the Original Issue Date, then, in each such case (other than with respect to a recurring cash dividend or any such event for which an adjustment is otherwise provided for pursuant to this Section 6(c)) each Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that such Holder would have participated therein if such Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of its Series A Preferred Shares immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

| (4) | Upon Certain Dilutive Share Sales. In the event that the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, issue or sell (or be deemed to have so issued or sold pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6(c)(i)(4)) Common Shares (other than Excluded Shares) for an Effective Price less than the Pre-Determined Price then in effect, then the Pre-Determined Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to an amount equal to such Effective Price.

An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(c)(i)(4) shall be made on the next Business Day following the date on which any such issuance or sale is made (or deemed to be made pursuant to this Section 6(c)(i)(4) and shall be effective retroactively to the close of business on the date of such issuance or sale.

For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 6(c)(i)(4), the aggregate consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities (the “Aggregate Consideration”) shall be computed as: (A) to the extent it consists of cash, the gross amount of cash received by the Company before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that, unless the fair value is agreed to by all Holders, to the extent the Board of Directors determines the fair value of property other than cash is equal to or exceeds $1,000,000, then the Company shall have such property appraised by a qualified independent appraiser, whose valuation shall conclusively determine the value, and (C) if Common Shares, Convertible Securities or rights or options to purchase either Common Shares or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Common Shares, Convertible Securities or rights or options.

7

For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 6(c)(i)(4), if the Company issues or sells (x) Preferred Shares or other stock, options, warrants, purchase rights or other securities convertible into, Common Shares other than Excluded Shares (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as “Convertible Securities”) or (y) rights or options for the purchase of Common Shares or Convertible Securities (other than Excluded Shares) and if the Effective Price of such Common Shares is less than the Pre-Determined Price, the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities plus: (A) in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options; and (B) in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion thereof (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities); provided that if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of anti-dilution or similar protective clauses, the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses.

If the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events, including by reason of anti-dilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced, and such Convertible Security and the Common Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such decrease.

| (ii) | Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c) but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment to the Pre-Determined Price so as to maintain the conversion rights of the Holders; provided, however, that no such adjustment will increase the Pre-Determined Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 6.

| (iii) | Notice of Adjustment to Pre-Determined Price. Whenever the Pre-Determined Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 6(c), the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders of record a notice setting forth the Pre-Determined Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

8

(c) Fractional Shares upon Conversion. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of this Series. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the converting Holder of shares of this Series would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price of such fractional shares.

(d) Notice of Conversion. Before any Holder shall be entitled to convert the same into full Common Shares, such Holder shall give written notice to the Company of the election to convert shares of this Series, the number of shares of this Series to be converted, the number of shares of this Series that such Holder will beneficially own subsequent to such conversion and the person to whom the Common Shares are to be issued and the name (with address) of the holder or its nominees in which such Holder desires the Common Shares to be issued, subject to any restrictions on transfer relating to the shares of this Series or the Common Shares upon conversion thereof (such written notice, the “Conversion Notice”). The calculations and entries set forth in the Conversion Notice shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. No wet ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required.

(e) Mechanics of Conversion. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of the Conversion Notice and in any event within two Business Days thereafter, issue and deliver to the applicable holder, the number of Common Shares to which such holder is entitled for such conversion by crediting a book-entry account of the holder or its nominees with such Common Shares (including any in-kind dividends on the converted shares of this Series that were declared but unpaid on the date on which the Conversion Notice was delivered), and a check or wire transfer payable to such holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional Common Shares, plus any cash dividends on the converted shares of this Series that were declared but unpaid on the date on which the Conversion Notice was delivered.

(f) Effective Time of Conversion. Conversion pursuant to this Section 6 shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business, New York time, on the date on which the Conversion Notice is delivered or caused to be delivered by the relevant Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares as of such date.

(g) Effect of Conversion. Shares of this Series converted into Common Shares in accordance with this Section 6 shall be canceled, shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred shares of the Company and shall no longer be designated as shares of this Series. To the extent the converted shares of this Series are represented by certificates, no Holder shall be required to physically surrender any certificate(s) representing such converted shares to the Company until all shares of this Series represented by such certificate(s) have been converted in full, in which case the applicable Holder shall surrender such certificate(s) to the Company for cancellation on the date the final Conversion Notice is delivered to the Company. To the extent the shares of this Series are represented by certificates, delivery of a Conversion Notice with respect to a partial conversion shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares and issuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of this Series held by the applicable Holder.

(h) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times after the Original Issue Date, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of this Series, such number of its Common Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of this Series; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of this Series, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Common Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite approvals of any necessary amendment to this Statement of Designations or the Articles.

(i) Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of Common Shares upon conversion of shares of this Series pursuant to this Section 6. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Common Shares in a name other than that in which the shares of this Series so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

| (a) | senior to (i) all classes of Common Shares, (ii) if issued, any Series B Preferred Shares or Series C Participating Preferred Shares and (iii) any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock established after the Original Issue Date, the terms of which class or series do not expressly provide that it is made senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation Event (collectively referred to with the Common Shares as “Junior Stock”);

| (b) | on parity with any class or series of capital stock established after the Original Issue Date, with terms expressly providing that such class or series ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation Event distributions; and

The Company may issue Junior Stock and, subject to Section (7)(c) of this Statement of Designations, Dividend Parity Stock or Senior Stock from time to time in one or more series without the consent of the Holders. The Board of Directors has the authority to determine the preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and special or relative rights or privileges, if any, of any such series before the issuance of any shares of that series. The Board of Directors shall also determine the number of shares constituting each such series of securities.
