Senior Credit Facilities

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company, the Borrower (as defined below) and the Guarantors (as defined below) entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement, dated July 12, 2017, with Royal Bank of Canada, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Natixis, New York Branch and KKR Corporate Lending LLC (the “Credit Agreement”) providing Exela Intermediate LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, in the aggregate a (i) $350 million senior secured term loan maturing July 12, 2023 and (ii) a $100 million senior secured revolving facility maturing July 12, 2022, none of which is currently drawn.

The Credit Agreement provides for the following interest rates for borrowings under the senior secured term facility and senior secured revolving facility: at the Borrower’s option, either (1) an adjusted LIBOR, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans, or (2) a base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin for borrowings under the senior secured revolving facility is subject to step-downs based on leverage ratios.

Subject to certain customary and other exceptions, the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement are (a) guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Exela Intermediate Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”), and all material domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings, (together with Holdings, collectively, the “Guarantors”), and (b) secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the guarantors.

The Credit Agreement contains various negative covenants that, subject to agreed upon exceptions, limit the ability of Holdings, the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries to (among other restrictions):

·                  incur indebtedness and issue preferred equity;

·                  grant liens;

·                  liquidate, consolidate or merge with or into other companies;

Senior Secured Notes

Pursuant to an Indenture, dated July 12, 2017, by and among Exela Intermediate LLC (the “Issuer”), Exela Finance Inc. (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with the Issuer, the “Issuers”), each of which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,  and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), the Issuers issued $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 10% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”).  The Notes are guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors (as defined below) pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture, dated July 12, 2017, by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the “subsidiary guarantors”) and the Trustee. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per year.  The Issuer pays interest on the Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2018.  The Notes will mature on July 15, 2023.  The Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2020 at an initial premium of 105% of the principal, declining to 100%.  The Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes on or prior to July 15, 2020 in an amount equal to the net proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 110%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.  Prior to July 15, 2020, the Issuers may redeem

3

some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium.  There is no sinking fund for the Notes.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Issuer’s wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that provides a guarantee under the Credit Agreement.  To the extent lenders under the Credit Agreement release the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor, such subsidiary guarantor will also be released from its obligations under the Notes.  The Notes and related guarantees are secured by first-priority security interests in, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors (the “collateral”), which assets also secure indebtedness under the Credit Agreement.  The Notes and guarantees rank (i) equally in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ existing and future senior indebtedness, (ii) senior to all of the Issuers’ future subordinated indebtedness, (iii) effectively senior to all of the Issuers’ future unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Notes, (iv) equal to all of the Issuers’ existing and future indebtedness that is secured by the collateral on a first-priority basis, including indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the collateral, (v) effectively senior to all of the Issuers’ future indebtedness that is secured by the collateral on a junior-priority basis to the extent of the value of the collateral and (vi) structurally subordinated to all obligations of each of the Issuers’ subsidiaries that is not a guarantor of the Notes.

The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement and Indenture, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01                                           Changes in Control of Company.

The closing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment on July 12, 2017 resulted in a change of control of the Company from Quinpario Partners 2, LLC and its affiliates due to the issuance of 80,600,000 shares of Common Stock to Ex-Sigma LLC (that were assigned to its wholly owned subsidiary Ex-Sigma 2 LLC), an entity controlled by HOVS LLC, Hands On Fund 4 I, LLC and certain affiliates thereof (collectively, with Ex-Sigma LLC and Ex-Sigma 2 LLC, the “HGM Group”), the purchase by Ex-Sigma 2 LLC of 2,669,233 shares of Preferred Stock and 4,312,500 shares of Common Stock in the PIPE Investment (that were assigned to its wholly owned subsidiary Ex-Sigma 2 LLC) and the purchase by the HGM Group of an additional 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock.  As a result, as of the closing, the HGM Group beneficially owns approximately 59.5% of the Common Stock as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (assuming the conversion at its Preferred Stock into Common Stock).

Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, the HGM Group has the right to nominate: for so long as the HGM Group beneficially owns at least 35% of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock (without giving effect to the exercise of any outstanding warrants to purchase the Common Stock), three directors; for so long as the HGM Group beneficially owns at least 15%, but less than 35%, of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock (without giving effect to the exercise of any outstanding warrants to purchase the Common Stock), two directors; and for so long as the HGM Group (or an affiliate) beneficially owns at least 5%, but less than 15%, of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock (without giving effect to the exercise of any outstanding warrants to purchase the Common Stock), one director.  The directors designated by the HGM Group and elected at closing are Par Chadha, Ronald Cogburn and Jim Reynolds, as further described in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Ex-Sigma LLC invested $55,853,864 in the Company pursuant to the PIPE Investment, pursuant to which Ex-Sigma LLC received 4,312,500 shares of Common Stock and 2,669,233 shares of Preferred Stock (that were assigned to its wholly owned subsidiary Ex-Sigma 2 LLC).  The source of funds for Ex-Sigma 2 LLC’s PIPE Investment is the New SourceHOV Financing, as such term is defined in and described in the Proxy Statement, which summary is incorporated herein by reference, in an amount equal to $55,853,864. The source of funds for the 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock was the Consulting Agreement Termination Fee payable under the Business Combination Agreement.

Under the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards, a “controlled company” is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company.  Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company determined that it was a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards due to the fact that the HGM Group held more than 50% of the Company’s voting power, as further described above.

Item 5.03                                           Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 12, 2017, immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) was amended and restated to:

In addition, following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s bylaws (“Bylaws”) were amended and restated to:

·                  provide for certain quorum requirements for meetings of the stockholders of the Company;

·                  provide the certain provisions of the bylaws are subject to the terms of the Nomination Agreements; and

·                  provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses for directors and officers.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the amended and restated Charter and amended and restated Bylaws, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

3. This Second Amended Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

4. This Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by joint written consent of the directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 141(f), 228, 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“GCL”).

5. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is EXELA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation is to be located at Cogency Global Inc. 850 New Burton Road, Suite 201, Dover, County of Kent, DE 19904. The name of its registered agent at that address is Cogency Global Inc.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the GCL.

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 1,620,000,000 of which 1,600,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $.0001 per share.

A. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issue of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the GCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate

vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

B. Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote.

FIFTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

A. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws of the Corporation so provide.

B. The Board shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. At the first election of directors by the incorporator, the incorporator shall elect a Class C director for a term expiring at the Corporation’s third Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Class C director shall then appoint additional Class A, Class B and Class C directors, as necessary. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s by-laws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

C. The Board shall have the power, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation as provided in the by-laws of the Corporation.

D. The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

E. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and to any by-laws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no by-law so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such by-law had not been made.

SIXTH: A. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the GCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the GCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors,

2

then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time, shall indemnify and hold harmless each person whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any such indemnified person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this paragraph B shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

C. The Corporation hereby acknowledges that an indemnitee may have certain rights to other indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”).  The Corporation hereby agrees that with respect to any and all losses arising by reason of the fact that such indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, (i) that the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that the Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in accordance with this paragraph C and shall be liable for the full amount of all losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (or any other agreement between the Corporation and an indemnitee), without regard to any rights an indemnitee may have against the Other Indemnitors, and, (iii)  that the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such indemnitee against the Corporation.  The Corporation and each indemnitee agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this paragraph C.

D. Any repeal or amendment of this Article SIXTH by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Article SIXTH, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of or related to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

SEVENTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this

3

Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

EIGHTH: A. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the GCL or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation’s by-laws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction.

B. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of paragraph A immediately above is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce paragraph A immediately above (an “FSC Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

C. If any provision or provisions of this Article EIGHTH shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article EIGHTH (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article EIGHTH containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article EIGHTH.

NINTH: The Corporation elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the GCL.

TENTH: A. The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine to a corporate opportunity would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or in the future.  In addition to the foregoing, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall not apply to any other corporate opportunity with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation unless such corporate opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue.

B. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the stockholders and directors of the Corporation, their respective affiliates and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, equity holders and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers or directors of the Corporation (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries and other than directors that are employees of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries)  (each, an “Exempted Person”) shall not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement entered into between the Corporation and such Exempted Person.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the

4

Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time available to the Exempted Persons, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each such Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Corporation (and there shall be no restriction on the Exempted Persons using the general knowledge and understanding of the industry in which the Corporation operates which it has gained as an Exempted Person in considering and pursuing such opportunities or in making investment, voting, monitoring, governance or other decisions relating to other entities or securities) and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or stockholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, or uses such knowledge and understanding in the manner described herein, in each case, except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement entered into between the Company and such Exempted Person.  In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that the Corporation is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.  Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Article TENTH.

C. Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article TENTH, nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) inconsistent with this Article TENTH, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article TENTH in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article TENTH, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption.  This Article TENTH shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws or applicable law

ELEVENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate and the GCL; and, except as set forth in this Article ELEVENTH, all rights, preferences and privileges herein conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons by and pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article ELEVENTH.  In the event that the provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate and the nomination agreement between the Corporation and Apollo Novitex Holdings, L.P. and the nomination agreement between the Corporation and HOVS LLC, HOVS Capital II LLC, Stern Capital LLC, Sunraj LLC, Pidgin Associates LLC, HandsOn Fund 4 I, LLC, Sonino LLC and Ex-Sigma LLC conflict, the provisions of the such nomination agreements shall take precedence over this Second Amended and Restated Certificate.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by Ronald Cogburn, its Chief Executive Officer, as of the 12th day of July, 2017.

No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

3.12        Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

3.13        Meetings by Means of Conference Telephone. Members of the Board of Directors or any committee designed by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this subsection shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

ARTICLE V
CAPITAL STOCK

5.1          Form of Certificates. The shares of stock in the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock shall be in uncertificated form. Stock certificates shall be in such forms as the Board of Directors may prescribe and signed by the Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation.

5.2          Signatures. Any or all of the signatures on a stock certificate may be a facsimile, including, but not limited to, signatures of officers of the Corporation and countersignatures of a transfer agent or registrar. In case an officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

5.3          Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new stock certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any stock certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new stock certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

5.4          Transfers. Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these Bylaws. Transfers of certificated stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, which shall be canceled before a new certificate shall be issued. Transfers of uncertificated stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person then registered on the books of the Corporation as the owner of such shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and written instruction to the Corporation containing such information as the Corporation or its agents may prescribe. No transfer of uncertificated stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred. The Corporation shall have no duty to inquire into adverse claims with respect to any stock transfer unless (a) the Corporation has received a written notification of an adverse claim at a time and in a manner which affords the Corporation a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to the issuance of a new, reissued or re-registered share certificate, in the case of certificated stock, or entry in the stock record books of the Corporation, in the case of uncertificated stock, and the notification identifies the claimant, the registered owner and the issue of which the share or shares is a part and provides an address for communications directed to the claimant; or (b) the Corporation has required and obtained, with respect to a fiduciary, a copy of a will, trust, indenture, articles of co-partnership, Bylaws or other controlling instruments, for a purpose other than to obtain appropriate evidence of the appointment or incumbency of the fiduciary, and such documents indicate, upon reasonable inspection, the existence of an adverse claim. The Corporation may discharge any duty of inquiry by any reasonable means, including notifying an adverse claimant by registered or certified mail at the address furnished by him or, if there be no such address, at his residence or regular place of business that the security has been presented for registration of transfer by a named person, and that the transfer will be registered unless within thirty days from the date of mailing the notification, either (a) an appropriate restraining order, injunction or other process issues from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (b) an indemnity bond, sufficient in the Corporation’s judgment to protect the Corporation and any transfer agent, registrar or other agent of the Corporation involved from any loss which it or they may suffer by complying with the adverse claim, is filed with the Corporation.

5.5          Fixing Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than ten (10) days after

9

the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date of action with a meeting is adopted by the Board of Directors, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed:

(a)           The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

(b)           The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation.

(c)           The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

5.6          Registered Stockholders. Prior to due presentment for transfer of any share or shares, the Corporation shall treat the registered owner thereof as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and to all other benefits of ownership with respect to such share or shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State Delaware.

ARTICLE VI
NOTICES

6.1          Form of Notice. Notices to directors and stockholders other than notices to directors of special meetings of the board of Directors which may be given by any means stated in Article III, Section 4, shall be in writing and delivered personally or mailed to the directors or stockholders at their addresses appearing on the books of the corporation. Notice by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be mailed. Subject to the rules of any applicable stock exchange, notice to stockholders and directors may also be given by telegram or email.  If delivered by email, such notice shall be deemed to be given when the email is sent by the originator.  The time stamp on the sent email shall act as proof of service.

6.2          Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of law or the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws of the Corporation, a written waiver, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular, or special meeting of the stockholders, Directors, or members of a committee of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

7.1          The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its

10

equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

7.2          To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

7.3          The Corporation hereby acknowledges that an indemnitee may have certain rights to other indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”).  The Corporation hereby agrees that with respect to any and all losses arising by reason of the fact that such indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, (i) that the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that the Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in accordance with this Article VII and shall be liable for the full amount of all losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Corporation and an indemnitee), without regard to any rights an indemnitee may have against the Other Indemnitors, and, (iii)  that the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.  The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of an indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such indemnitee against the Corporation.  The Corporation and each indemnitee agree that the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Article VII.

7.4          Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

7.5          Any repeal or amendment of this Article VII by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate and the Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VII, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of or related to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

7.6          The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

7.7          The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his

11

status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

7.8          For purposes of this Article, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent Corporation of its separate existence had continued.

7.9          For purposes of this Article, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article.

7.10        The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

7.11        No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any stockholder of the Corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1          Reliance on Books and Records. Each Director, each member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, and each officer of the Corporation, shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of account or other records of the Corporation, including reports made to the Corporation by any of its officers, by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser selected with reasonable care.

8.2          Maintenance and Inspection of Records. The Corporation shall, either at its principal executive office or at such place or places as designated by the Board of Directors, keep a record of its stockholders listing their names and addresses and the number and class of shares held by each stockholder, a copy of these by-laws, as may be amended to date, minute books, accounting books and other records.

Any such records maintained by the Corporation may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. When records are kept in such manner, a clearly legible paper form produced from or by means of the information storage device or method shall be admissible in evidence, and accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as an original paper form accurately portrays the record.

Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under

12

oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal executive office.

8.3          Inspection by Directors. Any director shall have the right to examine the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director.

8.4          Dividends. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, if any, dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the Directors shall think conducive to the interest of the Corporation, and the Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

8.5          Checks. All checks or demands for money and notes of the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

8.6          Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors shall fail to do so, the President shall fix the fiscal year.

8.7          Seal. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware”. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any manner reproduced.

8.8          Amendments. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Nomination Agreements, the original or other Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon at any regular or special meeting or, if the Certificate of Incorporation so provides, by the Board of Directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the Board of Directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.

8.9          Interpretation of Bylaws. All words, terms and provisions of these Bylaws shall be interpreted and defined by and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, and as amended from time to time hereafter.  In the event that the provisions of these Bylaws and the Nomination Agreements conflict, the provisions of the Nomination Agreements shall take precedence over these Bylaws.

(c)                                                     If any Dividend Payment Date with respect to the Preferred Stock falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or dividends on such payment will accrue or accumulate as the case may be, in respect of the delay.

(d)                                                    The holders of shares of Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payment on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the Company’s default in payment of the dividend due on such Dividend Payment Date.

(a)                                                    Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, from the Issue Date until the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the amount of all accrued but unpaid Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be added to the Liquidation Preference on each Dividend Payment Date.  Subject to the restrictions set forth herein, after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company may elect to: (i) pay any Dividend on the Preferred Stock in cash (when, as and if declared by the Board out of funds of the Company legally available for payment); (ii) accrue any Dividend on the Preferred Stock by adding the amount of all accrued but unpaid Dividends on the Preferred Stock to the Liquidation Preference; or (iii) through any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) in accordance with Section 4(b).

(b)                                                    After the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company shall make each Dividend payment on the Preferred Stock by adding the amount of all accrued but unpaid Dividends on the Preferred Stock as set forth above on the Dividend Payment Date, except to the extent the Company elects to make all or any portion of such payment in cash on or prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date, in which case, the amount the accrued but unpaid Dividends on the Preferred Stock that is added to the Liquidation Preference shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of any such cash payment.

(5)                                 Voting.  The shares of Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 5 or otherwise required by Delaware law. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain Outstanding, unless a greater percentage shall then be required by law, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of a Majority of the Holders, voting together as a single class with all series of Parity Stock upon which similar voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting powers of the shares of Preferred Stock; provided, that any increase in the amount of authorized preferred stock (including, without limitation, additional Preferred Stock) or the creation or issuance of any additional shares of Preferred Stock or other series of preferred stock, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, of Parity and Senior Stock but not Junior Stock, shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of Holders of shares of Preferred Stock specified herein.

(b)                                                    Neither the sale (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company) nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 6.

(c)                                                     After the payment to the Holders of the shares of Preferred Stock of full preferential amounts provided for in this Section 6, the Holders of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

(d)                                                    In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Parity Stock upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 6, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Preferred Stock, equally and ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

(7)                                 Conversion Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a)                                                    The Company must give notice (a “Fundamental Change Notice”) of each Fundamental Change to all Holders of the Preferred Stock no later than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date (determined in good faith by the Board) of the Fundamental Change or, if not practicable because the Company is unaware of the Fundamental Change, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than 1 Business Day after the Company becomes aware of such Fundamental Change.

(b)                                                    Within 15 days following the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change, each Outstanding share of the Preferred Stock shall, at the election of the Holder thereof pursuant to the delivery of a Notice of Conversion, be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate on the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change; provided that if the Company has not delivered a notice of redemption in accordance with Section 10(b)(i), prior to the 5th day after the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change, then, from and after such 5th day after the Effective Date until the 15th day following the Effective Date, each Outstanding share of the Preferred Stock shall, at the election of the Holder thereof pursuant to the delivery of a Notice of Conversion, be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the greater of (A) the Applicable Conversion Rate on the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change and (B) the quotient of (x) the Liquidation Preference, divided by (y) the greater of (1) the applicable Holder Stock Price and (2) $0.10; provided, that, if such conversion takes place after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, the aggregate number of shares issuable upon such conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock then Outstanding will not exceed the lesser of  (i) the difference between (A) the aggregate number of authorized shares at the time minus (B) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of debt, warrants or rights which are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (other than the shares of Preferred Stock) and (ii) 85% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the shares of Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property in connection with a Fundamental Change, then the shares of Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the cash, securities or other property that the holder would have received had it converted its shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 7 immediately prior to the Record Date for such Fundamental Change. As used herein, “Holder Stock Price” means (i) in the case of a Fundamental Change in which the Holders of Common

8

Stock will receive only cash consideration, the price to be paid (or deemed paid) per share of Common Stock in such transaction and (ii) in all other cases, the average Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the 20 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change (or, such lesser number of Trading Days as shall follow the public announcement of such transaction).

(c)                                                     The Fundamental Change Notice shall be given by first-class mail to each record holder of shares of Preferred Stock, at such Holder’s address as the same appears on the books of the Company. Each such notice shall state (i) the anticipated Effective Date and (ii) that dividends on the Preferred Stock to be converted will cease to accrue on the date immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change.

(d)                                                    Whenever any provision of this Certificate of Designations requires the Company to calculate the Weighted Average Price or Closing Sale Price for purposes of a Fundamental Change over a span of multiple days, the Board shall make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Weighted Average Prices or Closing Sale Prices are to be calculated.

(8)                                 Conversion.

(a)                                                    Each Holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time after the six month anniversary of the Issue Date, at its option, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 8, any or all of such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the quotient of (i) prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Third Anniversary Expected Liquidation Preference and, from and after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Liquidation Preference; divided by (ii) the Conversion Price on the applicable Conversion Date (as to any Conversion Date, the “Applicable Conversion Rate”) per share of Preferred Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11).  Upon conversion of any share of Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder, in respect of the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate multiplied by the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11, on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date.

(b)                                                    Before any Holder shall be entitled to convert a share of Preferred Stock as set forth above, such Holder who:

(i)                            holds a beneficial interest in a Global Preferred Share must deliver to DTC the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to DTC’s conversion program (a “Conversion Instruction”) and, if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any; or

The Conversion Agent shall notify the Company of any pending conversion pursuant to this Section 8 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. The date on which a Holder complies with the procedures in this clause (b) is the “Conversion Date.” If more than one share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered.

(c)                                                     With respect to any conversion of shares of Preferred Stock:

(i)                            if there shall have been surrendered certificate or certificates, as the case may be, representing a greater number of shares of Preferred Stock than the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the Company shall execute and the Registrar shall countersign and deliver to such Holder or such Holder’s designee, at the expense of the Company, new certificate or certificates, as the case may be, representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock that shall not have been converted; and

(ii)                         if the shares of Preferred Stock converted are held in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depositary, promptly following the relevant Conversion Date, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent and Registrar to reduce the number of shares of Preferred Stock represented by the global certificate by making a notation on Schedule I attached to the relevant Global Preferred Share.

(d)                                                    Immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date with respect to a conversion, a converting Holder of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Common Stock, if any, shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder. On the date of any conversion, all rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, excepting only the rights of holders thereof  to (i) receive certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock, if any, into which such shares of Preferred Stock have been converted (with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11) and (ii) exercise the rights to which they are thereafter entitled as holders of Common Stock, if any.

(e)                                                     The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i)                            If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of its Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split, subdivision, combination, reverse split or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

10

Any adjustment made under this Section 8(e)(i) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the  Effective Date for such share split, subdivision, combination, reverse split or reclassification, as the case may be. If any dividend or distribution or share split, subdivision, combination, reverse split or reclassification of the type described in this Section 8(e)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or make such share split, subdivision, combination, reverse split or reclassification, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or share split, subdivision, combination, reverse split or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the case may be.

(ii)                         If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 60 days immediately following the announcement date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares of its Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

Any adjustment made under this Section 8(e)(ii) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration, redemption, termination or repurchase of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, redemption, termination or repurchase, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to make such distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not occurred. If such rights, options or warrants are (i) not exercisable, (ii) deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock

11

or (iii) are issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock until the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted until the triggering events occur.

For purposes of this Section 8(e)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board.

(iii)                      If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 8(e)(i) or Section 8(e)(ii) and excluding shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or other equity securities in respect of Common Stock (any of such shares of Capital Stock, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Securities”), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

Any adjustment made under the portion of this Section 8(e)(iii) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to pay the distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(iv)                     If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock and the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock over the 20 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

12

where,

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8(e)(iv) shall occur at the close of business on the 20th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the 20 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date that any such tender or exchange offer expires, references within this Section 8(e)(iv) to 20 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date.

In the event that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.  For the purposes of this subsection (iv), the term “tender offer” is used as such term is used in the Exchange Act and the term “exchange offer” means an exchange offer that constitutes a tender offer.

(v)                        All calculations and other determinations under this Section 8(e) shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 8(e) shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to a change of at least 1% in such Conversion Rate.

(vi)                     For purposes of this Section 8(e), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the

13

Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(f)                                                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8(e), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made with respect to any transaction described in Section 8(e)(i) through Section 8(e)(iv) if the Company makes provision for each Holder of the Preferred Stock to participate in such transaction, at the same time as holders of the Common Stock, without conversion, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date or Effective Date, as the case may be, for such transaction, multiplied by the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder.

(g)                                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 8 in respect of the issuance of any Excluded Securities.

(h)                                                    Upon any adjustment in the Conversion Rate, the Company shall deliver to each Holder, as promptly as practicable, a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased Conversion Rate then in effect following such adjustment.

(i)                                                        In the case of:

(i)                            any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii)                         any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,

(iii)                      any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or

(iv)                     any statutory share exchange,

as a result of the events specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) in which the Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such transaction or event, a “Reorganization Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the right to convert each share of Preferred Stock shall be changed into a right to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event (such stock, securities or other property or assets, the “Reference Property”). If the Reorganization Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Preferred Stock will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Preferred Stock to convert its Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 8(a) prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event. Notwithstanding Section 8(e), no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made for any Reorganization Event to the extent stock, securities or other property or assets become the Reference Property receivable upon conversion of Preferred Stock.

The Company shall provide, by amendment hereto effective upon any such Reorganization Event, for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 8. The provisions of this Section 8 shall apply to successive Reorganization Events.

14

In this Certificate of Designations, if the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property as a result of any such Reorganization Event, references to the Common Stock are intended to refer, as nearly equivalent as possible, to such Reference Property.

(j)                                                       The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate Conversion Rate on the Issue Date, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or the payment or partial payment of dividends declared on Preferred Stock that are payable in Common Stock.

(k)                                                    For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of the relevant Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(l)                                                        Notwithstanding Sections 8(e)(ii) and 8(e)(iii), if the Company has a rights plan (including, without limitation, the distribution of rights pursuant thereto to all holders of the Common Stock) in effect while any shares of Preferred Stock remain Outstanding, Holders of Preferred Stock will receive, upon conversion of Preferred Stock, in addition to the Common Stock to which a Holder is entitled, a corresponding number of rights in accordance with the rights plan. If, prior to any conversion, such rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable rights plan so that Holders of Preferred Stock would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the Common Stock delivered upon conversion of Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation, as if the Company had distributed to all holders of its Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 8(e)(iii) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(9)                                 Mandatory Conversion.

(a)                                                    From and after the time that the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 (the “Mandatory Conversion Price”) for at least 5 consecutive Trading Days, the Company shall have the right, at its option and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 9, to give notice of its election to cause all Outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into that number of whole shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11), with cash in lieu of any fractional share pursuant to Section 11. For purposes of this Section 9(a), the Mandatory Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionally in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, issuance of rights, options or warrants or other event that would result (or, but for Section 8(f), would have resulted) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price, upon an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8(e).

(b)                                                    To exercise any mandatory conversion right described in Sections 9(a), the Company must issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones News Service or Bloomberg Business News (or if either such service is not available, another broadly disseminated news or press release service selected by the Company) prior to the open of business on the tenth Trading Day following any date on which the condition described in Section 9(a) is met, announcing such a mandatory conversion. The Company shall also give notice by mail or by publication (with subsequent prompt notice by mail) to the Holders of the Preferred Stock (not later than 3 Business Days after the date of the press release) of the mandatory conversion announcing the Company’s intention to convert the Preferred Stock. The conversion date will be a date selected by the Company (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”) and will be no fewer than 15 Trading Days, nor more than 20 Trading Days, after the date on which the Company issues the press release described in this Section 9(b). Upon conversion of any Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall deliver to the applicable Holder the applicable number of shares of Common Stock, together with any applicable cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock, on the 3rd Business Day immediately following the relevant Mandatory Conversion Date.

15

(c)                                                     In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the press release and notice of a mandatory conversion described in Section 9(b) shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Mandatory Conversion Date; (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Preferred Stock; and (iii) that dividends on the Preferred Stock to be converted will cease to accrue on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

(d)                                                    On and after the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 9(a) and all rights of Holders of such Preferred Stock shall terminate except for the right to receive the whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11. The full amount of any dividend payment with respect to the Preferred Stock called for a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 9(a) on a date during the period beginning at the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and ending on the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall be included in the Liquidation Preference amount used to calculate the Applicable Conversion Rate for such mandatory conversion and shall not be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the record holder of such share at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date if such share has been converted after such Dividend Record Date and prior to such Dividend Payment Date.

(10)                          Optional Redemption. Shares of Preferred Stock may be redeemable by the Company in accordance with this Section 10.

(a)                                                    The Company may not redeem any shares of Preferred Stock prior to the earlier of (i) a Fundamental Change (without giving effect to the second proviso which is set forth at the end of the definition) and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date. On or after the earlier of (i) a Fundamental Change (without giving effect to the second proviso which is set forth at the end of the definition) and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company shall have the option to redeem some or all the shares of Preferred Stock at the Liquidation Preference as of the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).

(b)                                                    In the event the Company elects to redeem shares of Preferred Stock, the Company shall:

(i)                            send a written notice to the Registrar and Transfer Agent of the Redemption Date, stating the number of shares to be redeemed and the Redemption Price, at least 15 Trading Days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Registrar and Transfer Agent);

(ii)                         instruct DTC to notify its participants holding Preferred Stock, or, if the Preferred Stock is in certificated form, send a written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) by first class mail to each holder of record of the Preferred Stock at such holder’s registered address, not fewer than 10 Trading Days nor more than 90 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date stating:

(A)                                the Redemption Date;

(B)                                the Redemption Price;

(C)                                the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

(D)                                that shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption may be converted at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;

(E)                                 that holders who want to convert shares of Preferred Stock must satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 8;

(F)                                  that shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

16

(G)                                if fewer than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed by the Company, the number of shares to be redeemed;

(H)                               that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price, dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(I)                                    the CUSIP number of the Preferred Stock; and

(J)                                    any other information the Company wishes to present; and

(iii)                      publish the information set forth in Section 10(b)(ii) once in a daily newspaper printed in the English language and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, issue a press release containing such information and publish such information on the Company’s website.

(c)                                                     If the Company gives notice of redemption, then, by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Redemption Date, to the extent sufficient funds are legally available, the Company shall, with respect to:

(i)                            shares of Preferred Stock held by DTC or its nominees, deposit or cause to be deposited, irrevocably with DTC cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price and shall give DTC irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to holders of such shares of Preferred Stock; and

(ii)                         shares of the Preferred Stock held in certificated form, deposit or cause to be deposited, irrevocably with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price and shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to holders of such shares of Preferred Stock upon surrender to the Paying Agent of their certificates evidencing their shares of Preferred Stock.

(d)                                                    If on the Redemption Date, DTC or the Paying Agent, as applicable, holds cash sufficient to pay the Redemption Price for the shares of Preferred Stock delivered for redemption as set forth herein, dividends shall cease to accrue as of the Redemption Date on those shares of the Preferred Stock called for redemption and all rights of holders of such shares shall terminate, except for the right to receive the Redemption Price pursuant to this Section 10.

(e)                                                     Payment of the Redemption Price for shares of Preferred Stock is conditioned upon book-entry transfer or physical delivery of certificates representing the Preferred Stock, together with any necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent, or to the Paying Agent’s account at DTC, at any time after delivery of the Redemption Notice.

(f)                                                      Payment of the Redemption Price for shares of Preferred Stock shall be made (i) if book-entry transfer or physical delivery of the Preferred Stock has been made by or on the Redemption Date, on the Redemption Date, or (ii) if book-entry transfer or physical delivery of the Preferred Stock has not been made by or on the Redemption Date, at the time of such transfer or delivery.

(g)                                                     If the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date for the payment of dividends declared on the Preferred Stock before the open of business on the Dividend Payment Date corresponding to that Record Date, holders of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on that Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date. The price payable on such Redemption Date will include only the Redemption Price, but will not include any amount in respect of dividends on the Preferred Stock declared and payable on such corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

(h)                                                    If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board and the shares to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata

17

basis (with any fractional shares being rounded to the nearest whole share), by lot or any other method as may be determined by the Board, in its discretion, to be fair and appropriate.

(i)                                                        Upon surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of the Preferred Stock that is or are redeemed in part, the Company shall execute, and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the holder, a new certificate or certificates representing shares of the Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for partial redemption.

(11)                          No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock or securities representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion, whether voluntary or mandatory, of the Preferred Stock. Instead, the Company will make a cash payment to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Company may round such fractional share up to the next highest whole number of shares in lieu of making such cash payment.

(12)                          Transfer Agent and Registrar.  The duly appointed transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and Registrar (the “Registrar”) for the Preferred Stock shall be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust. The Company may, in its sole discretion, remove the Transfer Agent in accordance with the agreement between the Company and the Transfer Agent; provided that the Company shall appoint a successor transfer agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall notify the Registrar in writing upon the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ purchases or sales of Preferred Stock.

(13)                          Certificates; Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)                                                    If physical certificates are issued, then the Company shall, upon written request of a Holder, issue certificates in definitive form representing the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder. Every share of Preferred Stock that bears or is required under this Section 13(a) to bear the legend set forth in Section 13(b) (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock that is required to bear the legend set forth in Section 13(b), collectively “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 13(b) and this Section 13(a) (including the legend set forth below), unless such restrictions on transfer shall be eliminated or otherwise waived by written consent of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 13(a) and in Section 13(b), the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

Until the later of (i) the date on which such shares of Preferred Stock may be transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the Transfer Agent), and (ii) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”), any certificate evidencing such Preferred Stock (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof, which shall bear the legend set forth in Section 13(b), if applicable) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THESE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THESE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THESE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK NOR THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SHARE OF PREFERRED STOCK NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:

BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:

18

1.                                      REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OR AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND

2.                                      AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF EXELA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS QUINPARIO ACQUISITION CORP. 2) (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO OR AS MAY OTHERWISE BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

(A)                               TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR

(B)                               PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(C)                               TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

(D)                               PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

No transfer of any Preferred Stock prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by the Registrar (and shall not be effective) unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer attached hereto as Exhibit B has been checked (it being understood that the checking of such box shall not substitute for satisfaction of any other applicable transfer restrictions).

Subject to the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required by the Company, any share of Preferred Stock (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of such Preferred Stock for exchange to the Registrar, be exchanged for a new share or shares of Preferred Stock, of like aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 13(a) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.

(b)                                                    Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any

19

similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Transfer Agent):

THESE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

Subject to the delivery of such legal opinions, certifications or other evidence as may reasonably be required by the Company, any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the Transfer Agent, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 13(b). After the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be issued without the restrictions contained in this Section. Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, no transfer of any Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock will be registered by the Registrar (and shall not be effective) unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer

20

attached hereto as Exhibit B has been checked (it being understood that the checking of such box shall not substitute for satisfaction of any other applicable transfer restrictions).

(c)                                                     The Preferred Stock shall initially be issued with a restricted CUSIP number.

(14)                          Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

(a)                                                    The Company shall maintain in the United States (i) an office or agency where Preferred Stock may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) an office or agency where, in accordance with the terms hereof, Preferred Stock may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). The Transfer Agent may act as Paying Agent and Conversion Agent, unless another Paying Agent or Conversion Agent is appointed by the Company. The Company may appoint the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent and may appoint one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents in such other locations as it shall determine. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Registrar of the name and address of any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent appointed by the Company. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Registrar shall act as such or the Company or any of its Affiliates shall act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent.

(b)                                                    Payments due on the Preferred Stock shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose. Payments of cash shall be payable by United States dollar check drawn on, or wire transfer (provided, that appropriate wire instructions have been received by the Registrar at least 15 days prior to the applicable date of payment) to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder with, a bank located in New York City; provided that at the option of the Company, payment of cash dividends may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Preferred Stock register.

(15)                          Form.

(a)                                                    The Preferred Stock shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent global shares of Preferred Stock in definitive, fully registered form eligible for book-entry settlement with the global legend (the “Global Shares Legend”) as set forth on the form of Preferred Stock certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C (each, a “Global Preferred Share”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Certificate of Designations. The Global Preferred Shares may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided, that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). The Global Preferred Shares shall be deposited on behalf of the Holders represented thereby with the Registrar, at its New York office as custodian for DTC (the “Depositary”), and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and countersigned and registered by the Registrar as hereinafter provided. The aggregate number of shares represented by each Global Preferred Share may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

This Section 15(a) shall apply only to a Global Preferred Share deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary. The Company shall execute and the Registrar shall, in accordance with this Section 15(a), countersign and deliver any Global Preferred Shares that (i) shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. or other nominee of the Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Registrar to Cede & Co. or pursuant to instructions received from Cede & Co. or held by the Registrar as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to an agreement between the Depositary and the Registrar. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Certificate of Designations with respect to any Global Preferred Share held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Registrar as the custodian of the Depositary, or under such Global Preferred Share, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Registrar as the absolute owner of such Global Preferred Share for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Registrar or any agent of the Company or the Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of

21

the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Preferred Share. The Holder of the Global Preferred Shares may grant proxies or otherwise authorize any Person to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take pursuant to the Global Preferred Shares, this Certificate of Designations or the Charter.

Owners of beneficial interests in Global Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated shares of Preferred Stock, unless (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Preferred Shares and the Company does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within 90 days or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and the Company does not appoint a qualified replacement for the Depositary within 90 days. In any such case, the Global Preferred Shares shall be exchanged in whole for definitive stock certificates that are not issued in global form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate Liquidation Preference, and such definitive stock certificates shall be registered in the name or names of the Person or Persons specified by the Depositary in a written instrument to the Registrar.

(b)                                                    Signature.  Two Officers permitted by applicable law shall sign each Global Preferred Share for the Company, in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and applicable law, by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Global Preferred Share no longer holds that office at the time the Registrar countersigned such Global Preferred Share, such Global Preferred Share shall be valid nevertheless. A Global Preferred Share shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Registrar manually countersigns such Global Preferred Share. Each Global Preferred Share shall be dated the date of its countersignature. The foregoing paragraph shall likewise apply to any certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock.”

(16)                          Other Provisions.

(a)                                                    With respect to any notice to a Holder of shares of Preferred Stock required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to mail such notice, nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or validity of any distribution, rights, warrant, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any such action. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

(b)                                                    Shares of Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares of Preferred Stock that are purchased or exchanged or converted, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Delaware) have the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company undesignated as to series and may be designated or redesignated and issued or reissued, as the case may be, as part of any series of preferred stock of the Company; provided that any issuance of such shares as Preferred Stock must be in compliance with the terms hereof.

(c)                                                     The shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable only in whole shares.

(d)                                                    If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any payment or deemed dividend to a Holder on its Preferred Stock, the Company or an applicable withholding agent may withhold such tax on cash dividends, shares of Preferred Stock, Common Stock or sale proceeds paid, subsequently paid or credited with respect to such Holder or his successors and assigns.

(e)                                                     All notice periods referred to herein shall commence on the date of the mailing of the applicable notice that initiates such notice period. Notice to any Holder shall be given to the registered address set forth in the Company’s records for such Holder.

(f)                                                      To the extent lawful to do so, the Company shall provide the Holders prior written notice of (i) any dividend or distribution to be made to the holders of Common Stock and any other event as a result of which the Conversion Rate would be adjusted pursuant to Section 8(e) and (ii) any Reorganization Event, with such notice to be made no later than the notice thereof provided to all holders of Common Stock of the Company or, if earlier, 10 Business Days prior to the Ex-Date therefor.

22

(g)                                                     Any payment required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest or dividends on such payment will accrue or accumulate, as the case may be, in respect of such delay.

(h)                                                    Holders of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any preemptive rights to acquire additional capital stock of the Company.
