RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority of the Board of Directors conferred by the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law, a series of preferred stock of the Company (“Preferred Stock”) be, and hereby is, authorized, designated and created, effective as of [•], New York City Time, on [•] (the “Effective Time”), and that the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series of Preferred Stock, in addition to any provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation that are applicable to such series of Preferred Stock or the Preferred Stock of the Company of all classes and series, are as follows:

Section 1. Designation. The shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” having a par value of $1,500,000.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation preference amount of $1,500,000.00 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Preference shall not be subject to any upward or downward adjustment, except as set forth in Section 14(a). The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distributions, and the distribution of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution (a “Liquidation”) of the Company, (a) senior to the common stock having a par value of $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”), whether now outstanding or hereafter issued, and to each other class or series of stock of the Company (including, without limitation, any class or series of Preferred Stock established after Effective Time by the Board of Directors) the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to, or pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and distributions, and the distribution of assets upon the Liquidation of the Company (collectively, “Junior Stock”); (b) pari passu with each other class or series of stock of the Company (including, without limitation, any class or series of Preferred Stock established after the Effective Time by the Board of Directors) the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and distributions, and the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation of the Company (collectively, “Parity Stock”); and (c) junior to each other class or series of stock of the Company (including, without limitation, any class or series of Preferred Stock established after the Effective Time by the Board of Directors) the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and distributions, and the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation of the Company (collectively, “Senior Stock”). The Company’s ability to issue Parity Stock and Senior Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.

Section 2. Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be one (1). Such number may, from time to time, be increased (but not in excess of the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors and in a manner permitted by the DGCL and the terms provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 5.

Section 3. Dividends.

(a) Rate. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at a rate per annum of eight percent (8%) (the “Dividend Rate”) per share on the sum of (x) the Liquidation Preference plus (y) all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to such share for all prior Dividend Payment Periods (as defined below). Dividends shall be cumulative and payable quarterly on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day (or the following Business Day if the fifteenth (15th) calendar day is not a Business Day) of January, April, July and October of each year (commencing on [•]) (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”, and the period from and including the date of the Effective Time to the first Dividend Payment Date and each such quarterly period thereafter beginning on the day after the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date and ending on and including the immediately following Dividend Payment Date are each referred to herein as a “Dividend Payment Period”); provided that if the declaration and payment of such dividends is not permitted under applicable law because the Company does not have sufficient profits, surplus or other funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, such dividends shall not be required to be declared or be paid or payable on such Dividend Payment Date, and instead, such dividends shall be declared, become payable and be paid on the first succeeding Dividend Payment Date on which the Company is not prohibited under applicable law from declaring and paying such dividends (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such dividends shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any dividends which would otherwise be payable on such succeeding Dividend Payment Date); provided, further, that accrued and unpaid dividends for any prior quarterly Dividend Payment Period may be paid at any time. Dividends, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available therefor, will accrue at the Dividend Rate on a daily basis from and including the date of the Effective Time and computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed for any Dividend Payment Period.

(b) Payment. The Company shall either pay the dividends payable on each Dividend Payment Date entirely in cash or, if the Company does not pay such dividends entirely in cash on any Dividend Payment Date, then such accrued and unpaid dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be accumulated and shall remain as an amount of accrued and unpaid Dividends on such share until paid in cash to the Holder thereof. Dividends shall accumulate whether or not in any Dividend Payment Period there have been profits, surplus or other funds of the Company legally available for the payment of such dividends. If the Company does not pay Dividends accrued during the preceding Dividend Payment Period(s) entirely in cash on any Dividend Payment Date, then, not less than five (5) days following such Dividend

-2-

Payment Date, the Company (or its transfer agent) shall provide to the Holders of record as of the applicable Dividend Record Date (as defined below), by first class mail, postage prepaid, and e-mail addressed to the Holders of record at their respective last addresses and e-mails appearing on the stock records, stock ledger or books of the Company, a statement setting forth the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid dividends for such Dividend Payment Period and all prior Dividend Payment Periods with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock. Each dividend paid in cash shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by each Holder in writing given to the Company from time to time.

(c) Record Date. Dividends shall be payable (i) in the case of dividends paid in cash on a Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders of record at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month during which the Dividend Payment Date falls, and (ii) in the case of dividends that are initially not paid in cash and instead accumulated and subsequently paid upon a payment date established by the Company for such purpose, to the Holders of record the date that is ten (10) days prior to the applicable payment date of such accumulated and unpaid dividends (each such record date, a “Dividend Record Date”). For clarity, in the case of payments pursuant to Section 4 in connection with a Liquidation, such payments (including, without limitation, in respect of dividends that are initially not paid in cash and instead accumulated) shall be made to Holders in accordance with such section.

(d) Payment Restrictions. No dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend or distribution payable solely in shares of Parity Stock or Junior Stock (in the case of Parity Stock) or Junior Stock (in the case of Junior Stock) and other than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) may be declared, made or paid, or set apart for payment upon, any Parity Stock or Junior Stock, nor may any Parity Stock or Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any money paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Parity Stock or Junior Stock) by or on behalf of the Company (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of Parity Stock or Junior Stock (in the case of Parity Stock) or Junior Stock (in the case of Junior Stock)), unless all accrued and unpaid dividends shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or are declared and a sum of cash sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart in a segregated account for such payment, on all issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for all Dividend Payment Periods ending on or prior to the date of such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full cumulative and unpaid dividends have not been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, dividends may be declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock so long as the dividends are declared and paid pro rata so that the per share amount of dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such other Parity Stock bear to each other. Subject to the foregoing, dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on the Common Stock and any Parity Stock or Junior Stock, from time to time out of the funds of the Company legally available therefor, and the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.

-3-

(e) Payment Default. If at any time the dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock contemplated by this Section 3 shall be in arrears in an amount equal to one (1) quarterly dividend thereon, then during the period from the occurrence of such event until such time as all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous Dividend Payment Periods and for the current Dividend Payment Period on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment, any dividends otherwise payable on such Dividend Payment Periods on the Series A Preferred Stock shall continue to accrue and cumulate at a rate per annum of the Dividend Rate, plus five percent (5%), during such period, payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date.

Section 4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation of the Company, each Holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof available for distribution to stockholders of the Company (whether capital or surplus), before any distribution of assets is made on the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder equal to the sum of (x) the Liquidation Preference plus (y) all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to such share through and including the date of such Liquidation of the Company. If undertaken in compliance with Section 5, none of (i) the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the business, property or assets of the Company (other than in connection with the Liquidation of the Company), (ii) the merger, division, conversion or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person or (iii) the merger, division, conversion or consolidation of any other Person into or with the Company, shall constitute a Liquidation of the Company for the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence.

If the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Holders upon any Liquidation of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 4, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such Liquidation unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which such Holders and holders of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such Liquidation, with the amount allocable to each class or series of such stock determined on a pro rata basis of the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of each class or series and accrued and unpaid dividends to which each class or series is entitled.

After the payment to the Holders of the full preferential amounts provided for in this Section 4, such Holders shall have no right or claim in their capacity as Holders to any of the remaining assets of the Company. The Holders shall not be entitled to any further payments in their capacity as Holders in the event of any Liquidation other than what is expressly provided for in this Section 4.

Section 5. Voting Rights.

(a) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except for (i) the voting rights, if any, required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, including the right to vote, together with the common stock of the Company as a single class, on the removal or election of any directors of the Board of Directors for which each outstanding

-4-

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the prior express and unanimous affirmative vote or written consent of all of the Holders, voting or consenting separately as a single class, shall be required to:

(e) If any of the voting powers, designations, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof set forth herein, is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of Series A Preferred Stock, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof set forth herein, which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of Series A Preferred Stock, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no voting powers, designations, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights of Series A Preferred Stock, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof set forth herein, shall be deemed dependent upon any other such voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of Series A Preferred Stock, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, unless so expressed herein.

(f) Any waiver by a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation (or any related provision of the Certificate of Incorporation) shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Incorporation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation (or any related term under the Certificate of Incorporation) on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Incorporation on any other occasion.

(g) Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions hereof. If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that a provision hereof would be valid or enforceable if a period of time were extended or shortened or a particular percentage were increased or decreased, then such court may make such change as shall be necessary to render the provision in question effective and valid under applicable law. Any principles under applicable law requiring the construction of ambiguity against (i) the creation or expansion of preferential rights or (ii) the Person who has drafted the applicable provision shall not apply to any provision of this Certificate of Designation (or any related provision of the Certificate of Incorporation).
