Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.02 shall not apply to any press release or other public statement made by the Company that does not contain any information relating to the Transactions or the Placement that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that is made in the ordinary course of business.

Section 5.03. Confidentiality. Confidentiality provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement shall apply with respect to any information (including oral, written and electronic information) concerning the Company, its subsidiaries or its Affiliates that may be furnished to the Investor, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Representatives in connection with this Agreement.

Section 5.04. Tax Matters.

(a) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp and similar issuance or transfer taxes (“Tax”) due on (x) the issuance of the Purchased Shares and, upon conversion or exercise of any Purchased Shares, the issuance of any Underlying Shares to the beneficial owner of such Purchased Shares immediately prior to such conversion. However, in the case of the issuance of any Underlying Shares, the Company shall not be required to pay any Tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of Underlying Shares to a beneficial owner other than

the beneficial owner of the Purchased Shares being converted immediately prior to such conversion, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such Tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax has been paid.

(b) Each of the Company and the Investor agree that (i) the Convertible Preferred Stock is intended to be treated as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) it will not take any positions or actions inconsistent with such treatment (including in tax filings) unless otherwise required following an audit in which the foregoing treatment was diligently defended.

(c) The Company shall notify the Investor on or about the beginning of each taxable year of the Company during which the Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding (and at such other times as reasonably requested by the Investor) regarding whether the Company is then projected to have current or accumulated “earnings and profits” (“E&P”) within the meaning of Section 316 of the Code with respect to such taxable year and, in the event current or accumulated E&P is projected for such taxable year, will provide the Investor with an estimate of E&P for such taxable year.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to (i) reduce the amount of any dividend reflected as an increase in Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), (ii) deduct and withhold from any payment or distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) made with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock (or the issuance of Underlying Shares upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, or upon a redemption or repurchase of such stock by the Company), and (iii) deduct and withhold in connection with any adjustment to the conversion rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such increase in Accrued Value, payment, distribution, issuance, or adjustment under any applicable tax Law, provided that the Company shall use good faith efforts to reduce any such withholding by applying any applicable exemptions, adjustments or procedures, including without limitation the procedures of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-3(c)(2) regarding withholding based on reasonable estimates of accumulated or current earnings and profits. If the Company is required to withhold or otherwise remit any taxes with respect to an Investor under applicable tax law (and after using good faith efforts to reduce any such withholding by applying any applicable exemptions, adjustments or procedures, including without limitation the procedures of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-3(c)(2) regarding withholding based on reasonable estimates of accumulated or current earnings and profits) in connection with an increase in Accrued Value, an adjustment to the conversion rate of the Convertible Preferred Stock or other deemed distribution, it may reduce the amount of any dividend reflected as an increase in Accrued Value, or deduct and withhold the required amount from actual payments of dividends or any other amount payable on the Convertible Preferred Stock (including any payment of Common Stock in connection with a conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock). To the extent that any amounts are so reduced, deducted or withheld as described in this Section 5.04(d), such reduced, deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such reduction, deduction or withholding was made. In the event the Company previously remitted any amounts to a Governmental Authority on account of taxes required to be deducted or withheld in respect of any payment or distribution (or deemed distribution) on any Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall be entitled to effect any such amounts against any amounts otherwise payable in respect of such stock (or the issuance of Underlying Shares upon conversion of any Convertible Preferred Stock, or upon a redemption or repurchase of such stock by the Company).

Section 5.05. Delivery of Placement Shares After the Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, a book-entry statement evidencing the Purchased Shares within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date.

Section 5.06. Transfer and Hedging Restrictions.

(a) The Investor hereby agrees that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Investor will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (1) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms thereof (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (2) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Convertible Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a short sale of or the purpose of which is to offset the loss that results from a decline in the market price of the Lock-Up Securities.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.06(a), and subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 5.06(b), the Investor may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Company during the Lock-Up Period, provided that in the case of any transfer of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 5.06(b), (1) each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to be similarly bound during the balance of the Lock-Up Period, (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (3) any required public report or filing (including filings under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act) shall disclose the nature of such transfer and that the Lock-Up Securities remain subject to the terms set forth in this Section 5.06, and (4) the Investor does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfers:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, including to charitable organizations; or

(ii) to any Permitted Transferee; or

(iii) to a nominee or custodian of any Person to whom a transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) or (ii) above; or

(iv) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by the board of directors of the Company and made to all holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock involving a Change of Control (as defined below) (including negotiating and entering into an agreement providing for any such transaction), provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction is not completed, the Investor’s Lock-Up Securities shall remain subject to this Section 5.06.

For purposes of Section 5.06, “Change of Control” means the transfer to or acquisition by (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation, division or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, a Person or group of affiliated Persons, of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer or acquisition, such Person or group of affiliated Persons would

beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) more than 90% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.

(d) The Investor agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with this Section 5.06.

Section 5.07. Nasdaq Listing. The Company has submitted a Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form to Nasdaq with respect to the shares of Common Stock that are required to be initially reserved for issuance pursuant to Section 5.08, and Nasdaq has notified the Company that its obligation to notify Nasdaq is completed and has not raised any objection with respect to such form.

Section 5.08. Conversion Shares. The Company will reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive or similar rights, shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Certificate of Designations.

Section 5.09. Stockholder Consent. The parties agree to cooperate reasonably to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) no later than 18 months following the Closing. In connection therewith, (i) the Investor agrees that no later than 18 months following the Closing, the Investor will deliver an executed written consent or other approval in respect of the Requisite Stockholder Approval and (ii) the Company will distribute any information or proxy statement (in form and substance reasonably required in connection with the Requisite Stockholder Approval in accordance with appliable Laws).

Section 5.10. Section 16 Matters. If the Company becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or other similar transaction that may result in the Investor, its Affiliates, or any director appointed to the Board by the Investor (an “Appointed Director”) being deemed to have made a disposition of equity securities of the Company or derivatives thereof for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and if any Appointed Director is serving on the Board at such time or has served on the Board during the preceding six (6) months, then (i) the Board will pre-approve such disposition of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the Investor’s, its Affiliates’ and any Appointed Director’s interests (to the extent the Investor or its Affiliates may be deemed to be “directors by deputization”) in such transaction from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder and (ii) if the transaction involves (A) a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party and Company capital stock is, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for equity securities of a different issuer, (B) a potential acquisition by the Investor, the Investor’s Affiliates and/or any Appointed Director of equity securities of such other issuer or derivatives thereof and (C) an Affiliate or other designee of the Investor or its Affiliates that will serve on the board of directors (or its equivalent) of such other issuer, then if the Investor requires that the other issuer pre-approve any acquisition of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of any director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to request that such other issuer pre-approve any such acquisitions of equity securities or derivatives thereof for the express purpose of exempting the interests of the Investor’s, its Affiliates’ and any Appointed Director’s (for the Investor and/or its Affiliates, to the extent such persons may be deemed to be

“directors by deputization” of such other issuer) in such transactions from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or the Investor in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 8.03. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, the Investor may assign its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to one or more Permitted Transferees, including as contemplated in Section 5.06, so long as the assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including the rights, interests and obligations so assigned.

Section 8.04. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto (including by electronic signature) and delivered to the other parties hereto (including electronically, e.g., in PDF format).

Section 8.05. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents and the Certificate of Designations, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No provision of this Agreement shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder.

Subject to the determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Company to cause the Closing to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Transaction Documents) in the courts described in Section 8.06, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor the Investor would have entered into this Agreement.

Exhibit A

FORM OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

(Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

Lucid Group, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter, the “Corporation”), hereby certifies that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a duly authorized committee thereof) (the “Board”) as required by Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”):

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board in accordance with the provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), there is hereby created and provided out of the authorized but unissued preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), a new series of Preferred Stock, and there is hereby stated and fixed the number of shares constituting such series and the designation of such series and the powers, preferences and relative, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of such series as follows:

1. Designation. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock that shall be designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”), and the initial number of shares constituting such series (“Shares” and each a “Share”) shall be 75,000. The rights, preferences, powers, restrictions and limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be as set forth herein. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued in book-entry form on the Corporation’s share ledger, subject to the rights of holders to receive certificated Shares under the General Corporation Law.

2. Defined Terms. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Accrued Value” means, with respect to any Share, on any date, the sum of (a) the Initial Value plus (b) all Compounded Returns on such Share as of such date and plus (c) in the case of the determination of the Accrued Value for purposes of calculating the Minimum Consideration, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Redemption Price, the Liquidation Preference or the amount due upon conversion of any Share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion or upon conversion pursuant to Section 7.1, accrued Dividends from the last Dividend Payment Date to, and including, the Relevant Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Mandatory Conversion Time, the Redemption Date, the Conversion Date or the date of Liquidation, as the case may be.

“Affiliate” means, as to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person; provided, that, for purposes of this Certificate of Designations only, the Corporation shall not be deemed an Affiliate of the PIF Investor or any of the PIF Investor’s Affiliates. For this purpose, “control” (including, with its correlative meanings, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of securities or partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no governmental entity (other than a commercial entity acting in a commercial capacity) and no sovereign or political subdivision of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia shall be considered an Affiliate of the PIF Investor.

If upon any Liquidation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders and any other Liquidation Parity Securities shall be insufficient to pay the Holders and any other Liquidation Parity Securities the full preferential amount to which they are entitled under Section 5.1, (a) the Holders and any other Liquidation Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Liquidation Parity Securities in the aggregate upon such Liquidation if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and any other Liquidation Parity Securities were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make, or set aside for the benefit of the holders of Liquidation Junior Securities, any payments to the holders of Liquidation Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof.

5.4 Notice Requirement. In the event of any Liquidation, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) days of the date the Board approves such action, or no later than twenty (20) days of any stockholders’ meeting called to approve such action, or within twenty (20) days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give each Holder written notice of the proposed action. Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash and property to be received by the Holders upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each Holder of such material change.

5.5 General. In the event of any Liquidation, after the payment to any Holder of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference for each of such Holder’s shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such Holder shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation by reason of its ownership of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall

not be required to set aside funds to protect the Liquidation Preference of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

6. Voting.

6.1 General. Except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are listed, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and on which matter holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote, each Holder shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) into which the aggregate shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible on the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter (as adjusted from time to time after the applicable Issue Date pursuant to Section 7 but without regard to any limitations on convertibility or to whether sufficient shares of Common Stock are available out of the Corporation’s authorized but unissued stock for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock). Holders shall be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders and, except as otherwise provided herein or otherwise required by Law, to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and any other class or series of stock entitled to vote thereon. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting power of the Holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to Section 6.2.

6.2 Voting Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the quotient of the Accrued Value and the Conversion Price would exceed the Voting Cap, each Share shall be entitled to a number of votes per Share equal to the Voting Cap, with the number of votes per Holder determined as the product (rounded down to the nearest whole Share) of the aggregate number of Shares held by such Holder on the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter and the Voting Cap.

6.3 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Protective Provisions.

(a) As long as at least 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the Initial Issue Date remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly (whether by amending the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (including this Certificate of Designations) or any such Subsidiary, or by reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by applicable Law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the Required Holders, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class:

(i) create or authorize the creation of (including by increasing the authorized amount of) or issue any Liquidation Senior Securities, Dividend Senior Securities, Liquidation Parity Securities, Dividend Parity Securities, Cash Dividend Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any of the foregoing securities;

(ii) reclassify or modify any existing class or series of equity securities in a manner that would result in such class or series of equity securities being Liquidation Senior Securities or Dividend Senior Securities, Liquidation Parity Securities or Dividend Parity Securities or Cash Dividend Securities;

(iii) decrease the number of authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (except for such decreases as permitted by Sections 7.3(a) or 8.2 hereunder);

(iv) alter, change or amend the terms, rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in any manner adverse to Holders; or

(v) amend, waive, alter or repeal any provision of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or comparable organizational documents in a manner that would adversely affect the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, however, that each of the following will be deemed not to adversely affect the terms, rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and will not require any vote or consent pursuant to Section 6.3(a)(iv) or Section 6.3(a)(v):

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

(II) the creation and issuance, or increase in the authorized or issued number, of any shares of any class or series of Capital Stock that is not Dividend Senior Securities, Liquidation Senior Securities, Dividend Parity Securities, Liquidation Parity Securities or Cash Dividend Securities; and

(III) the application of Section 7.7(f), including the execution and delivery of any supplemental instruments pursuant to Section 7.7(f) solely to give effect to such provision;

provided, further, that, insomuch as they relate to Liquidation Parity Securities, Dividend Parity Securities and Cash Dividend Securities, the restrictions set forth in Sections 6.3(a)(i) and (ii) above shall apply only for so long as the PIF Investor owns at least 50% of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

(b) The Corporation agrees it shall comply with the covenants under Section 6.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement or any equivalent provision in any facility incurred by the Corporation to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement (in each case, including any future modifications, amendments or waivers to any such covenant), which agreement shall remain in full force for so long as the PIF Investor owns at least 50% of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued on the Initial Issue Date; provided that this covenant may be waived with the sole consent of the PIF Investor.

6.4 Amendments. Without the consent of the Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation may amend, alter, supplement, or repeal any terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, this Certificate of Designations and any certificate representing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for the following purposes: (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or mistake in any such agreement or instrument; (ii) to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in any material respect; or (iii) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (other than any Holder that consents to such change).

7. Conversion. The Holders shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

7.1 Right to Convert. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the respective Holder, from time to time after the Initial Issue Date, and without the payment of additional consideration by the Holder, (a) at any time that the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Holder

delivers the relevant Notice of Conversion is at least $5.50 (subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 7.7), unless the Corporation otherwise consents to such conversion in its sole discretion, or (b) in all events from the date of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Redemption Notice until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the later of the effective date of any Fundamental Change and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or any Redemption Date, as the case may be, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the applicable Accrued Value as of the Conversion Date by (ii) the applicable Conversion Price in effect as of the Conversion Date. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $4.3799. The rate at which shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 7. In the event any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are to be repurchased by the Corporation pursuant to Section 9.1 or redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 10.1, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for repurchase or redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, unless the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price is not paid in full on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be (including by way of deposit of funds in trust pursuant to Section 9.4 or Section 10.3, as applicable), in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full.

7.2 Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and in the event that any conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such Holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder upon such conversion.

7.3 Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion.

(a) Procedures for Holder Conversion. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with a written notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) delivered in accordance with Section 13 on any Business Day (such Business Day, the “Conversion Date”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted. The shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the close of business on the Conversion Date (prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be outstanding, or deemed to be outstanding, for any purpose and Holders shall have no rights, powers, preferences or privileges with respect to such Common Stock by virtue of holding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock). To effect conversions of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in certificated form, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Conversions of less than the total amount of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate held by the Holder will have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder by an amount equal to the number of such shares so converted, as if the original stock certificate(s) were cancelled and one or more new stock

certificates evidencing the new number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued; provided, however, that in such cases the Holder may request that the Corporation deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such non-converted shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; provided, further, that the failure of the Corporation to deliver such new certificate shall not affect the rights of the Holder to submit a further Notice of Conversion with respect to such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and, in any such case, the Holder shall be deemed to have submitted the original of such new certificate at the time that it submits such further Notice of Conversion. To effect the conversion of shares of any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Holders must comply with the applicable procedures established from time to time by the Transfer Agent and, in the case of Global Preferred Shares, The Depository Trust Company (The Depository Trust Company or any successor thereto, “DTC”). Not later than 10:00 am (New York City time) on the second Trading Day after each Conversion Date if shares are to be delivered in book-entry form or within five (5) Business Days otherwise (or, if later, the Trading Day after the Holder has paid in full any applicable transfer taxes and duties) (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (through the facilities of DTC and the Transfer Agent or in certificated form, as applicable), to the converting Holder the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such shares of Common Stock are not delivered to the applicable Holder or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation in accordance with Section 13 at any time on or before its receipt of such shares of Common Stock, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Series B Convertible Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and the Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation the shares of Common Stock issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.

(b) All shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided (but subject to the last sentence of Section 7.3(a)) shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor based on the Accrued Value as of such date as determined in accordance with this Certificate of Designations. Any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly and restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

7.4 Limitation on Conversion Rights.

(a) Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designations, no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon any proposed conversion, redemption or repurchase of any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder thereof, and no Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of any Holder thereof will be convertible, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery, conversion or convertibility would cause such Holder to become, directly or indirectly, a Beneficial Owner of a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 7.4 only, a Person shall be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of and shall be deemed to beneficially own any shares Common Stock that such Person or any of such person’s affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) or associates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is deemed to beneficially own, together with any Common Stock beneficially owned by

any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Subject to the following proviso, for purposes of this Section 7.4 only, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect on the date hereof; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of any of the Corporation’s securities or rights to acquire the Common Stock, whether or not such securities or rights are currently exercisable or convertible or are exercisable or convertible only after the passage of time (including the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of which the beneficial ownership determination is being made), but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates or associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any of the Corporation’s other securities subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates or associates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with such Person for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Beneficial Owner” as used in this Section 7.4 shall not include (i) with respect to any Global Preferred Share, the nominee of the depositary for such Global Preferred Share or any Person having an account with such depositary or its nominee or (ii) with respect to any certificated Share, the Holder of such certificated Share unless, in each case, such nominee, account holder or Holder shall also be a Beneficial Owner of such Share.

(b) Conversions Void. Any purported conversion (and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) will be void and have no effect to the extent, but only to the extent, that such conversion and delivery would result in any Holder becoming the Beneficial Owner of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For the avoidance of doubt, a Holder or the Corporation, as the case may be, may effect a conversion up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, subject to the other requirements of this Certificate of Designations applicable to such conversion.

(c) Proceeds on Conversion. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any consideration otherwise due upon the proposed conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to a conversion is not delivered as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Corporation’s obligation to deliver such consideration will not be extinguished, and the Corporation will deliver such consideration (and the relevant shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed converted) in accordance with the provisions under Section 7.3 or Section 8, as the case may be, on or as promptly as practicable after the date sixty-one (61) days after the earlier of (A) the applicable Holder giving notice to the Corporation (i) that after such delivery, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would not be exceeded or (ii) requesting such delivery, or (B) the 90th day following the proposed Conversion Date. A Holder will provide evidence as soon as reasonably practicable after its Beneficial Ownership is such that additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be delivered without causing such Holder’s Beneficial Ownership to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(d) Requisite Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not

exceed the Conversion Share Cap unless the Corporation shall have obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) Effect of Conversion Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt (i) the limitations under this Section 7.4 shall apply in respect of all deliveries of Common Stock hereunder, including optional conversions pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Mandatory Conversions pursuant to Section 8 hereof (including in fulfillment of any additional amount due pursuant to the proviso to Section 8.1), in respect of any portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price due in respect of a Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 9 hereof and in respect of any portion of the Redemption Price due in respect of an Optional Redemption pursuant to Section 10 hereof and (ii) until the Common Stock consideration due upon the optional conversion, Mandatory Conversion, Fundamental Change Repurchase or Optional Redemption of any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that would have been delivered but for this Section 7.4 is delivered, such Shares shall be deemed not to have been converted, redeemed or repurchased, as the case may be; however, with respect to conversion restricted by Section 7.4(a), dividends shall cease to accumulate thereon on the proposed Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, and the consideration ultimately paid out in respect thereof shall not be increased to take into account any dividends on or after the proposed Conversion Date, Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be.

7.5 Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall, at all times when any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Capital Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, for each share of then outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion thereof pursuant to Section 7.1 based on the then applicable Conversion Price (taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof), determined by assuming (x) initially, Compounded Returns through the September 30, 2027 Dividend Payment Date and (y) prior to the start of each successive three-year period commencing on September 30, 2027, Compounded Returns for the next three-year period following the preceding one; provided, that in no event shall the Corporation be required to reserve Common Stock in excess of its authorized Common Stock. In the event that any such reservation of shares shall be determined by the Corporation to be insufficient in light of the circumstances, the Corporation shall promptly adjust such reservation amount. In the event that the Corporation would be required to reserve Common Stock in excess of its authorized Common Stock, the Corporation will use its best efforts to increase its number of authorized shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Certificate of Designations as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable Law or governmental regulation and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its Capital Stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

7.6 No Charge or Payment. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, the Holder in respect thereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of

shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Designations. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

7.7 Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Corporation if any of the following events occurs, except that the Corporation shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Price if Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, in any of the transactions described in Sections 7.7(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), without having to convert their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the number of Shares held by such Holder are then convertible pursuant to Section 7.1 (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Stock Dividends. If the Corporation exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Corporation effects a share split or share combination (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to a Reorganization Event, as to which the provisions of Section 7.7(f) shall apply), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CP’ = the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable;

= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and

OS’ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 7.7(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business

on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 7.7(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) Rights Offerings. If the Corporation distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, as to which Section 7.7(c) shall apply) entitling them, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

where,

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;

X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants.

Any decrease made under this Section 7.7(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Price shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the decrease 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 Price shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 7.7(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for 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 Corporation 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 Corporation in good faith.

(c) Distributed Property; Spin-Offs. If the Corporation distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected (or would be required without regard to Section 7.7(j)) pursuant to Section 7.7(a) or Section 7.7(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 7.7(d) shall apply, (iii) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 7.7(c) shall apply, (iv) except as otherwise described in Section 7.7(g), rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a stockholder rights plan and (v) a distribution solely pursuant to a Reorganization Event, as to which the provisions of Section 7.7(1) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

where,

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution;

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date;

SP0 = the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Corporation in good faith) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any decrease made under the portion of this Section 7.7(c) above shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be increased to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing decrease, each Holder of a Share shall receive, in respect of each such Share, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock that such Share would have been convertible into at the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date for the distribution. If the Corporation in good faith determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 7.7(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

If the Corporation distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to (x) a Reorganization Event, as to which the provisions of Section 7.7(f) shall apply; or (y) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of the Common Stock, as to which the provisions of Section 7.7(e) shall apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interests are listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

where,

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

= the product of (x) the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs per share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed to holders of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definitions of Daily VWAP, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event as if references therein to Common Stock (or its securities exchange ticker) were instead references to such Capital Stock or similar equity interests (or its securities exchange ticker)) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per share of Common Stock in such Spin-Off; and

= the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the Valuation Period.

The decrease to the Conversion Price under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Price for such conversion. To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type described above in this Section 7.7(c) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.

(d) Cash Dividends. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

= the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per share the Corporation distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any decrease pursuant to this Section 7.7(d) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. To the extent such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Price shall be increased, effective as of the date the Board determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SPo” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Share shall receive, in respect of each such Share, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock that such Share would have been convertible into at the Conversion Price in effect on the Record Date for the distribution.

(e) Tender and Exchange Offers. If the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock (determined as of the expiration time of such offer by the Corporation in good faith) exceeds the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

where,

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

= the Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC = the aggregate value, as of the time such tender or exchange offer expires, of all cash and other consideration paid for shares of Common Stock purchased or exchanged in such tender or exchange offer (such aggregate value to be determined, other than with respect to cash, by the Corporation in good faith);

= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time such tender or exchange offer expires (including all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the time such tender or exchange offer expires (excluding all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

= the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The decrease to the Conversion Price under this Section 7.7(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange

offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date that such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Price for such conversion.

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

(f) Adjustment for Reorganization Events. If there shall occur any:

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

(ii) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Corporation;

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

(iv) other similar event,

in each case, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (a “Reorganization Event”), then following any such Reorganization Event, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and be convertible into the number, kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a Holder would have received in such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event (the “Reference Property”); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 7.7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 7.7 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price, to the extent the Reference Property consists of property other than cash and the Holders do not participate, on an as-converted basis, in applicable events with respect thereto) and Section 9 shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Corporation (or any successor thereto) shall, no later than the Business Day after the effective date of such Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into under this Section 7.7(f). Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 7.7(f). The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless (i) such agreement provides for, or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable), conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred

Stock in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 7.7(f) and (ii) to the extent that the Corporation is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made (as determined by the Corporation in good faith) in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into the Reference Property and the assumption by such Person of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designations.

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 for the purposes of this Section 7.7(f), the Reference Property into which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration per share actually received by holders of Common Stock. The Corporation shall notify holders and the Transfer Agent of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

(g) Stockholder Rights Plans. If the Corporation has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in Section 7.7(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(h) Participating Dividends. Without limitation of Section 6.4, in the event the Corporation shall make or issue, or, if earlier, fix a Record Date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or distribution of cash or property (other than Common Stock) the Corporation shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend in cash or such other property on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (each, a “Participating Dividend”) on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding had been converted pursuant to Section 7 (without regard to the limitations on convertibility set forth in the first sentence of Section 7.1, but subject to the other limitations set forth therein, including Section 7.4(d)) as of immediately prior to the Record Date of the applicable dividend (or if no Record Date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined).

(i) Rounding; Par Value. All calculations under Section 7 shall be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of a cent or to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share, as the case may be (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward). No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value of the Common Stock.

(j) Adjustment Deferral. If an adjustment to the Conversion Price otherwise required by this Certificate of Designations would result in a change of less than one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price, then the Corporation may, at its election, defer such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest of the following: (1) when all such deferred adjustments would result in a change of at least one percent (1%) to the Conversion Price; (2) the Conversion Date of any share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (3) the effective date of any

Fundamental Change; (4) the date of any Redemption Notice; (5) the date of any Mandatory Conversion Notice; and (6) the occurrence of any vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(k) Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i) Promptly following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Corporation shall furnish to each Holder at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder, which may be an electronic mail address) a certificate of an officer of the Corporation setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any Holder, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such Holder a certificate of an officer of the Corporation certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable to such Holder upon conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Holder.

(l) Notices. In the event that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other Capital Stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Capital Stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security, then, unless the Corporation has previously publicly announced such information (including through filing such information with the SEC), the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder, which may be an electronic mail address) at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record date, the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent.

(m) Non-Circumvention. For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustments provided in this Section 7.7 may not result in the Holders exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or, until such time as the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained, the Conversion Share Cap per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

8. Mandatory Conversion.

8.1 Mandatory Conversion Event. On or after the third anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, if at any time (i) the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock has been at least 200% of the Conversion Price for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (including the last day of such period) and (ii) the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied, then the Corporation shall have the right (the “Mandatory Conversion Right”), exercisable at its election, to cause all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to convert into Common Stock on the 10th Business Day following the delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice, at the effective applicable Conversion Price on such 10th Business Day in accordance with Section 7 (such conversion, a “Mandatory Conversion”); provided that, the Corporation shall pay an additional amount per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (payable in cash, shares of Common Stock valued based on the Relevant Price (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) or a combination thereof, at the

Corporation’s election) equal to the greater of (x) the difference between (i) the Minimum Consideration as of the Relevant Date and (ii) the value (based on the Relevant Price) of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon such Mandatory Conversion without regard to this proviso and (y) zero.

8.2 Procedural Requirements. If the Corporation elects to exercise the Mandatory Conversion Right, all Holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock subject to such Mandatory Conversion shall be sent written notice of the Corporation’s exercise of the Mandatory Conversion Right, the Mandatory Conversion Time, the calculation of any additional amount payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 8.1 and the proportion of such additional amount to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock and the place designated for Mandatory Conversion of such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8.2 (such notice, the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) (including to or through DTC and the Transfer Agent, if applicable). The Corporation shall send such notice setting forth the details and time for such conversion (the time of such conversion, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”, and the date of which shall constitute a Conversion Date in respect of the Mandatory Conversion) within fifteen (15) Business Days following the completion of the applicable thirty (30) Trading Day period referred to in Section 8.1. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time specified in the Mandatory Conversion Notice, each Holder shall surrender its certificate or certificates (if any) for all such shares (or, if such Holder alleges that any such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and bond of indemnity, if requested, in each case reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice (or comply with the applicable delivery procedures of the Transfer Agent and DTC, if applicable). If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the Holder or such Xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 8.1, including the rights to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the Holder or Holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time or comply with the applicable procedures of the Transfer Agent and DTC), except only the rights of the Holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit) therefor or compliance with the applicable procedures of the Transfer Agent and DTC, as applicable, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 8.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time but no later than the Share Delivery Date, the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (in certificated form or through the facilities of the Transfer Agent or DTC, as applicable), to the Holder, or to its nominees, the number of full shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8.2 based on the Accrued Value as of such date as determined in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, together with any additional amount payable in cash or shares of Common Stock pursuant to the proviso to Section 8.1; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation elects to deliver shares of its Common Stock in satisfaction of any additional amount payable pursuant to Section 8.1, subject to the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the relevant Holder such Common Stock by the Share Delivery Date but shall not be in breach of its obligation to deliver such Common Stock for any purposes hereunder until such time as the minimum notice required under such listing rules following determination of the number of shares deliverable shall have lapsed. Such converted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly and restore such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

8.3 Partial Mandatory Conversion. In the event that the Mandatory Conversion Right is exercised with respect to shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock representing less than all the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, the shares to be converted shall be converted by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent on a pro rata basis based on the then-outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or, if applicable, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.

9. Fundamental Change.

9.1 Offer to Repurchase. In connection with any Fundamental Change, the Corporation shall make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then-outstanding (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer”) at a purchase price per Share (such amount being the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”) equal to the greater of (x) the Minimum Consideration as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and (y) an amount equal to the value a Holder would have received if they had converted a Share into shares of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately before the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock (or other securities to be received by a holder of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change) valued based on the Relevant Price (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) or a combination thereof, at the Corporation’s election; provided, further that the Corporation may not elect to deliver shares of its Common Stock (or other securities to be received by a holder of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change) in partial or full satisfaction of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, if the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are not satisfied (determined, in the case of other securities, by replacing references therein to “Common Stock” with “such securities”)). The Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer must be made in the Fundamental Change Notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.2 and shall become irrevocable from the date thereof.

9.2 Notice of Repurchase.

(a) The Corporation shall provide notice of any repurchases offered by the Corporation under Section 9.1 by delivering to the applicable Holder (including notice to or through DTC, if applicable) a written notice in accordance with Section 9.2(b) (the “Fundamental Change Notice”).

(b) The Fundamental Change Notice shall specify (i) the time and place of repurchase and the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (or the method of determination therefor, and an illustrative calculation of such amount as if the date of the Fundamental Change Notice were the Relevant Date), (ii) the Holder’s Conversion Rights pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and (iii) the proportion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price the Company proposes to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock, and shall be delivered to each Holder at the address for such Holder last shown on the records of the Transfer Agent therefor (or such other address provided in writing by such Holder, which may be an electronic mail address), on or before the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the effective date of a Fundamental Change (or if later, and subject to this Section 9, promptly after the Corporation discovers a Fundamental Change may occur). Promptly after the close of trading on the second Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will deliver to the Holders a notice setting forth (x) the calculation of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and (y) the proportion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price the Company to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock, which may only be changed from the proposed proportions set forth in the Fundamental Change Notice if there is a material difference between the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and

the illustrative calculation of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price set forth in the Fundamental Change Notice. The “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date” shall occur on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Change or, solely in the case of the Corporation discovering a Fundamental Change may occur following the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the effective date thereof, if such notice is received by the holders of Series B Preferred Stock less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the consummation of such Fundamental Change (or, if later in the case of a Fundamental Change described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Corporation shall discover the occurrence of such Fundamental Change).

9.3 Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. If the funds of the Corporation legally available for the Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer by the Corporation pursuant to Section 9.1 on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date are insufficient to repurchase all shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased by the Corporation on such date, those funds which are legally available will be used first to pay the cash portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, on a pro rata basis, to the Holders thereof based on the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then held, for the maximum possible number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased in accordance with the aggregate repurchase proceeds payable with respect to the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation or its acquirer, as applicable, become legally available for the repurchase of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such funds will be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which the Corporation was theretofore obligated to repurchase as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. If the Corporation elects to deliver shares of its Common Stock (or other securities) in full or partial satisfaction of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 9.1, subject to the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock (or such other securities) may then be listed, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the relevant Holder such Common Stock (or other securities) within two Business Days of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date but shall not be in breach of its obligation to deliver such Common Stock (or other securities) for any purposes hereunder until such time as the minimum notice required under such listing rules following determination of the number of shares (or other securities) deliverable shall have lapsed. Any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for which is not satisfied as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as a result of the circumstances described in this Section 9.3 shall remain outstanding until such shares shall have been repurchased and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor, as applicable, shall have been paid or set aside for payment in full (and dividends shall continue to accrue on any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock that remain outstanding as set forth in Section 11).

9.4 Rights Terminated. Upon (a) surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased (or surrender of such shares in compliance with the procedures established by the Transfer Agent and DTC, if applicable) pursuant to this Section 9 and delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor or (b) irrevocable deposit in trust by the Corporation for Holders pursuant to this Section 9 of an amount in cash and, if applicable a number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) comprising the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, each Holder will cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such repurchased shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (except for the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the repurchased shares or compliance with the procedures established by the Transfer Agent and DTC, if applicable, if such shares have not been so surrendered), and such repurchased shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will

not from and after the date of payment in full of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor be deemed to be outstanding.

9.5 Withdrawal Right. Each Holder shall retain the right to (a) convert shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 9 at any time on or prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or (b) withdraw a tender of such shares in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided that, where a Holder exercises its rights under (a) or (b) above, the applicable shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder shall not be repurchased pursuant to this Section 9.

9.6 No Requirement to Conduct an Offer to Repurchase Shares if the Fundamental Change Results in the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Becoming Convertible into an Amount of Cash Exceeding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, the Corporation will not be required to send a Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 9.2(a), or offer to repurchase or repurchase any Shares pursuant to this Section 9, in connection with a Reorganization Event that constitutes a Fundamental Change pursuant to clause (B)(b) of the definition thereof (regardless of whether such Reorganization Event also constitutes a Fundamental Change pursuant to any other clause of such definition), if (i) the Reference Property of such Reorganization Event consists entirely of cash in U.S. dollars; (ii) immediately after such Fundamental Change, the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock become convertible, pursuant to Section 7.7(f), into consideration that consists solely of U.S. dollars in an amount per Share that equals or exceeds the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price per Share; and (iii) the Corporation timely sends the notice relating to such Fundamental Change required pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 7.7(f), and includes, in such notice, a statement that the Corporation is relying on this Section 9.6.

9.7 Treatment of Existing Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary but subject to the terms set forth herein, the Corporation shall not pay, and shall not be required to pay, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price unless either (i) the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement (or equivalent term under any replacement thereof or similar facility) are fully satisfied prior to or simultaneously with such payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or (ii) any event of default or covenant breach under the Existing Credit Agreement (or any replacement thereof or similar facility) related to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and resultant payment obligations hereunder has been duly waived pursuant to the terms of such Existing Credit Agreement (or any replacement thereof or similar facility). If the funds of the Corporation that may be paid pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Offer by the Corporation are limited pursuant to this Section 9.7, on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, those funds which are otherwise available will be used first to pay the cash portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, on a pro rata basis, to the Holders thereof based on the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then held, for the maximum possible number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being repurchased in accordance with the aggregate repurchase proceeds payable with respect to the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be repurchased. At any time thereafter when and to the extent that the Existing Credit Agreement (or any replacement thereof or similar facility) permits or does not prevent such payment or delivery, such funds will be used to repurchase the balance of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which the Corporation was theretofore obligated to repurchase but for this Section 9.7. Any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for which is not satisfied as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as a result of the circumstances described in this Section 9.7 shall remain outstanding until such shares shall have been repurchased and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor, as applicable, shall have been paid

or set aside for payment in full (and dividends shall continue to accrue on any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock that remain outstanding as set forth in Section 11).

10. Optional Redemption.

10.1 Right to Redeem. On or after the fifth anniversary of the Initial Issue Date, the Corporation may redeem all or any portion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (any such redemption, an “Optional Redemption”) at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) per share equal to the greater of (x) the Minimum Consideration as of the Relevant Date and (y) an amount equal to the value (calculated based on the Relevant Price) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion at the Conversion Price as of such Redemption Date, which Redemption Price may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock valued based on the Relevant Price (with the number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock) or a combination thereof, at the Corporation’s election; provided that the Corporation may not pay any portion of such Redemption Price in shares of Common Stock if the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are not satisfied. Any such Optional Redemption in part shall be for a whole number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Prior to any exercise of its Optional Redemption right, the Board shall have determined in good faith that there shall be no applicable legal or contractual restrictions on its ability to pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date.

10.2 Redemption Notice.

(a) In case the Corporation exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 10.1, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it shall deliver a notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than 10 nor more than 60 Business Days prior to the Redemption Date to each applicable Holder (including notice to or through DTC, if applicable). The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.

(b) Each Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the time and place of redemption and the applicable Redemption Price for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (or the method of determination therefor), (ii) the Holder’s Conversion Rights pursuant to Section 7 hereof, (iii) the calculation of the Redemption Price, (iv) the proportion of the Redemption Price to be paid in cash and the proportion to be paid in shares of Common Stock and (iv) in case the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is to be redeemed in part only, the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, and shall be delivered to each Holder in accordance with Section 12.

(d) If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 10.1, the Transfer Agent shall select the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed (which such number shall be a whole number) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Transfer Agent considers to be fair and appropriate (or as required by the procedures of DTC, if applicable). If any Series B Convertible Preferred Stock selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.

10.3 Rights Terminated. On the applicable Redemption Date, upon delivery of (or irrevocable deposit in trust by the Corporation for Holders of shares being redeemed pursuant to this Section 10 on such Redemption Date of) an amount in cash and, if applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) comprising the applicable Redemption Price for the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemed on such Redemption Date, each Holder will cease to have

any rights as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the ownership of such redeemed shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (except for the right to receive the Redemption Price therefor), and such redeemed shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will not from and after the date of payment in full of the Redemption Price therefor be deemed to be outstanding. If the Corporation elects to deliver shares of its Common Stock in full or partial satisfaction of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 10.1, subject to the listing rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the relevant Holder such Common Stock within two Business Days of the Redemption Date but shall not be in breach of its obligation to deliver such Common Stock for any purposes hereunder until such time as the minimum notice required under such listing rules following determination of the number of shares deliverable shall have lapsed.

11. Remedies For Nonpayment. If, on any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date (or, if applicable, such later date as provided in this Certificate of Designations in relation to a Fundamental Change or Optional Redemption), all of the Shares elected to be repurchased or redeemed are not repurchased or redeemed in full by the Corporation by paying the entire applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price then, until such shares are fully repurchased or redeemed and the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price is paid in full, all of the unrepurchased or unredeemed Shares shall remain outstanding and continue to have the rights, preferences and privileges expressed herein, including the accrual and accumulation of dividends thereon as provided in Section 4; provided that the Annual Dividend Rate on all of the unrepurchased or unredeemed Shares shall automatically increase by 2.00% per annum on (and effective as of) the first calendar day following the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date and shall continue to increase by 2.00% per annum on each anniversary thereof, up to a total Annual Dividend Rate of 15% per annum, until such time as the full Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price, as applicable, has been paid in full in respect of all Shares to be repurchased or redeemed; provided, further that (x) no increase to the Annual Dividend Rate hereunder shall apply to the extent that the Corporation’s failure to pay the entire applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date (or such later date as provided in this Certificate of Designations) results from the limitations set forth in Section 7.4 and (y) no increase to the Annual Dividend Rate shall be payable in respect of unrepurchased or unredeemed Shares in respect of any unpaid Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to this proviso for so long as the PIF Investor and its affiliates beneficially own and have the right to vote shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all classes of Capital Stock of the Corporation.

12. Payments to Holders. Any payments of cash made by the Corporation to the Holders on their shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be payable to each such Holder by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holder, as determined by the Corporation at the time of such payment.

13. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent (a) to the Corporation, to its office at Lucid Group, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (Attention: Legal Department, E-mail: Xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) with a copy (which shall not constitute

notice) to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxx, E-mail: xxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx and Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, E-mail: xxxxx.xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx) and (b) to any stockholder, at such Xxxxxx’s address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (which may include the records of the Transfer Agent) (or (i) in the case of Global Preferred Shares, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, or (ii) at such other address for a stockholder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 13).

14. Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation will be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Certificate of Designations or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, including determinations of the Closing Price, the Daily VWAPs, the Relevant Price, the Minimum Consideration, the Accrued Value and accrued dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price (including any adjustments to the Conversion Price), any Redemption Price, the Conversion Share Cap, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Voting Cap (including any adjustments to the Minimum Price). The Corporation will make all calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on all Holders.

15. Amendment and Waiver.

16. Book-Entry Form. Shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be issued (or reissued) in the form of one or more global certificates (“Global Preferred Shares”) to be deposited on behalf of one or more Holders thereof with the Transfer Agent, as custodian for DTC (or with such other custodian as DTC may direct), and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee; provided that any beneficial interest in Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by an affiliate of the Corporation, within the meaning of Rule 144, shall be assigned a separate CUSIP number at any time such interest is held in the form of Global Preferred Shares. The number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by Global Preferred Shares may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Transfer Agent and DTC to reflect such changes as provided for herein. Members of, or participants in, DTC shall have no rights under the terms of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to any Global Preferred Shares held on their behalf by DTC or any custodian of DTC or under such Global Preferred Shares, and DTC may be treated by the Corporation, the Transfer Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Transfer Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Preferred Shares for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Transfer Agent or any agent of the Corporation or the Transfer Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its members and participants, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Preferred Shares.

17. Tax Treatment. The Corporation and each Holder, by its acceptance of any Shares hereunder, agree that (i) the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is intended to be treated as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) it will not take any positions or actions inconsistent with such treatment (including in tax filings) unless otherwise required following an audit in which the foregoing treatment was diligently defended.

18. Severability. If any provision or provisions in this Certificate of Designations 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 provision or provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions in this Certificate of Designations and the application of such provision or provisions to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not be in any way affected or impaired thereby and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or the application thereof shall be modified in a manner that is valid, legal and enforceable and gives effect as nearly as is practicable to the intent of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or the application thereof.

19. Facts Ascertainable. When the terms of this Certificate of Designations refer to a specific agreement or other document or a decision by any body, person or entity to determine the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the secretary of the Corporation shall maintain a copy of such agreement, document or decision at the principal executive offices of the Corporation and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any stockholder who makes a request therefor.

20. Counterparts. This Certificate of Designations may be executed in any number of copies. Each signed copy will be an original, and all of them together represent the same agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.4(b) of the Agreement, the Agreement may be amended in whole or in part at any time with the express written consent of PubCo and the Holders holding in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders at such time;

WHEREAS, Xxxx holds more than fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Holders as of the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, Xxxx and PubCo amend the Agreement as set forth in this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, all of the parties hereto mutually agree, with effect as of the date hereof, to the following:

1. The definition of “Registrable Securities” in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended to read:

“Registrable Securities” means (a) any shares of Common Stock, (b) any Warrants or any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise thereof, (c) any Equity Securities of PubCo that may be issued or distributed or be issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clauses (a) or (b) by way of conversion, dividend, stock split or other distribution, merger, consolidation, exchange, recapitalization

or reclassification or similar transaction, in each case Beneficially Owned by a Holder as of immediately following the Closing, and (d) with respect to Xxxx only, the Placement Shares, the Second Placement Shares, the Third Placement Shares, and the Fourth Placement Shares; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities to the extent (A) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement, (B) such Registrable Securities shall have ceased to be outstanding, (C) such Registrable Securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or Underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction or (D)(i) the Holder thereof, together with its, his or her Permitted Transferees, Beneficially Owns less than one percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock that are outstanding at such time and (ii) such shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and acceptable to PubCo’s transfer agent and the affected Holder (which opinion may assume that such Xxxxxx (and any predecessor holder of such shares of Common Stock) is not, and has not been at any time during the 90 days immediately before the date of such opinion, an Affiliate of PubCo except with respect to any control determined to be established under this Investor Rights Agreement), as reasonably determined by PubCo, upon the advice of counsel to PubCo. It is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Investor Rights Agreement, where reference is made to Registrable Securities being listed with any securities exchange or automated quotation system, such reference shall not include the Warrants, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (although it shall include the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion thereof).

2. A new section 3.18 is added at the end of Article III, which reads:

Section 3.18. Shelf Registration of Fourth Placement Shares.

(a) Section 3.1 Not Applicable. Section 3.1(a) of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not apply to the Fourth Placement Shares. Prior to the Fourth Shelf Registration Deadline (as defined below), Sections 3.1(b) through 3.1(d) and 3.2 through 3.17 of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not apply to the Fourth Placement Shares.

(b) Filing. PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective under the Securities Act within six (6) months from the closing date (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) (the “Fourth Shelf Registration Deadline”) a Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the Shelf Registration shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if PubCo is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer at the time of filing), or, if permitted, an amendment or a prospectus supplement to a Shelf Registration Statement then already filed, covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of all Fourth Placement Shares then issued to and Beneficially Owned by Xxxx but not yet covered by a Shelf Registration Statement. PubCo shall maintain such Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Investor Rights Agreement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or cease to be Registrable Securities. PubCo shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to file any replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such replacement or additional Shelf Registration Statement

to become effective prior to the expiration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 3.18.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by Xxxx, the Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of shares of the Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the SEC, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.18(b), the Company shall continue to its use commercially reasonable efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as set forth in this Section 3.18(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the SEC limits the Company’s ability to file, or prohibits or delays the filing of, a Shelf Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration with respect to any or all the Registrable Securities, the Company’s compliance with such limitation, prohibition or delay solely to the extent of such limitation, prohibition or delay shall not be a breach or default by the Company under this Agreement and shall not be deemed a failure by the Company to use “commercially reasonable efforts” or “reasonable efforts” as set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement.

Sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.13 and 5.14 of the Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Amendment, mutatis mutandis. Except as modified and amended herein, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement will not be amended and will remain in full force and effect.

3. Xxxx hereby acknowledges and waives the Third Shelf Registration Deadline, provided that the Company uses its commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective under the Securities Act a Shelf Registration Statement, covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of the Third Placement Shares then issued to and Beneficially Owned by Xxxx not yet covered by a registration statement, by no later than the end of the business day immediately after the date the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
