(a) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking senior to the Class B Common Stock as to dividends, the holders of the then outstanding Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cash dividends in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a).  For the fiscal quarters of the Corporation ending June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends equal to the quotient of (i) difference of (A) First Year CAFD multiplied by 0.25 and (B) 1.25 multiplied by the Common Stock Base Dividend, divided by (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding multiplied by 1.25.  For each fiscal quarter of the Corporation beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022 through and including the fiscal quarter ending on March 30, 2024, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends equal to the quotient of (i) difference of (A) LTM CAFD multiplied by 0.25 and (B) 1.25 multiplied by the Common Stock Base Dividend, divided by (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding multiplied by 1.25.  Provided however, that in no event shall shares of Class B Common Stock be entitled to receive dividends in an amount per share that is greater than any dividends per share authorized by the Board of Directors and declared with respect to the Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, as is the case with Common Stock, dividends declared and payable with respect to the Class B Common Stock shall not be cumulative.  Holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to receive dividends paid on such Class B Common Stock if such shares were not issued and outstanding on the record date established by the Corporation’s Board of Directors with respect to any such dividend.
 
(b) No dividends on the Class B Common Stock shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such
 
3

declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration, or payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
 
(c) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code or any successor revenue code or section) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the total distributions not in excess of the Corporation’s earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for such taxable year to holders of all classes and series of capital stock (the “Total Distributions”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Class B Common Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Class B Common Stock for such taxable year bears to the Total Distributions for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of capital stock outstanding.
 
(d) In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of the Corporation’s equity securities is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, no effect shall be given to amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights on dissolution are superior to those receiving the distribution.
 
Section 4. Voting Rights.
 
(a) Holders of the Class B Common Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock, voting as a single class, with respect to all matters on which holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock are entitled to vote.
 
(b) So long as any shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding following the initial issuance of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding at any such time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a single class), in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by the Charter, authorize or issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock beyond the number of shares authorized in Section 1 of these Articles Supplementary; provided, however, that no such separate class vote or consent of the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be required in connection with the authorization or issuance of additional shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction in which the Class B Common Stock participates on the same basis, and in the same proportion, as the Common Stock.
 
(c) In any matter in which the Class B Common Stock may vote (as expressly provided herein or as may be required by law), each share of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share.
 
(d) The holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall have exclusive voting rights on any Charter amendment that would alter the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Charter, of only the Class B Common Stock, and any such Charter amendment shall require the approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock voting as a separate class.
 
Section 5. Additional Rights and Protections for Holders of Class B Common Stock.
 
(a) So long as any shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding following the initial issuance of Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, in the same form, manner and proportion relative to their ownership of the Corporation’s common equity securities as the holders of Common Stock, any consideration (consisting of cash, securities or any other property) that the holders of then-outstanding shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive as a result of any Change of Control with respect to the Corporation.
 
(b) Additionally, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding following the initial issuance of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall not amend its Charter in any manner that would have the effect of: (i) impacting the dividend and distribution rights of holders of Class B Common Stock by reducing the dividend rate applicable to Class B Common Stock as provided in these Articles Supplementary, changing the form of payment of dividends with respect to the Class B Common Stock, or otherwise making any change to the priority of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as to the payment of
 
4

dividends in relation to any other class or series of the Corporation’s equity securities outstanding as of the Closing Date; or (ii) impacting the rights of holders of Class B Common Stock in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or Change of Control of the Corporation by (A) reducing the amount payable to, or changing the applicable form of payment to be received by, holders of Class B Common Stock upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, or in connection with any Change of Control or (B) making any change to the priority of the liquidation preferences of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock in relation to any other class or series of the Corporation’s equity securities outstanding as of the Closing Date.
 
Section 6. Mandatory Conversion of Class B Common Stock to Common Stock.
 
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) below, shares of Class B Common Stock will be converted into shares of Common Stock on a one-share-for-one-share basis if, at any time following the initial issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock, any of the following conditions shall be satisfied (collectively, the “One-for-One Conversion Thresholds”): (i) the Board of Directors shall authorize and the Corporation shall declare any quarterly dividend per outstanding share of Common Stock in excess of the then-applicable Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share; (ii) the Corporation shall issue additional shares of Common Stock for any purpose other than in connection with (A) any director or management compensation plan or equity award, (B) any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Corporation’s existing Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) for holders of Common Stock (or as may be modified or replaced with a similar DRIP plan in the future) (C) any issuance of Common Stock with respect to the conversion rights of either (1) the Corporation’s 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 or (2) the Corporation’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, (D) any issuance of Common Stock in a transaction in exchange for consideration that has been approved as representing fair value for the issuance of such Common Stock by the Corporation’s Board of Directors or (E) an issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction in which the Class B Common Stock participates on the same basis, and in the same proportion, as the Common Stock; or (iii) the Board of Directors shall authorize and the Corporation shall declare the payment of a dividend per share with respect to the Class B Common Stock equal to the then-applicable Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share for each of any four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Corporation during a period beginning with the fiscal quarter of the Corporation ending June 30, 2022 through and including the fiscal quarter of the Corporation ending on March 30, 2024.
 
(b) Additionally, subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) below, and in the event that no conversion of Class B Common Stock to Common Stock occurs as a result of the prior satisfaction of any of the One-for-One Conversion Thresholds prescribed in Section 6(a) above, upon the occurrence of the third anniversary of the Closing Date, shares of Class B Common Stock will be converted into shares of Common Stock, with the number of shares of Common Stock issuable for each then-outstanding share of Class B Common Stock to be determined by a ratio equal to the quotient of (i) the difference of (A) Maximum Shares at Conversion and (B) the number of then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, divided by (ii) the number of then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock provided, however, that in no event will shares of Class B Common Stock become convertible into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the preceding formula at a ratio of (x) less than 0.6800 shares of Common Stock per share of Class B Common Stock or (y) greater than 1.000 shares of Common Stock per share of Class B Common Stock.
 
(c) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in either Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) above, then the Corporation will convert the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (or the right to receive shares of Class B Common Stock, as applicable) into shares of Common Stock (the “Mandatory Conversion”, with the date selected by the Corporation for any Mandatory Conversion pursuant to this Section 6(c) being the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).  In any such event, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) Business Days following (as applicable) either (i) the date on which any of the One-for-One Conversion Thresholds prescribed in Section 6(a) is satisfied or (ii) the third anniversary of the Closing Date, provide a notice of the Mandatory Conversion to each holder of record of shares of Class B Common Stock (such notice, a “Notice of Mandatory Conversion”).  The Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid dividends due on the Class B Common Stock to but not including the Mandatory Conversion Date.  The Common Stock received in return shall accrue dividends beginning on the Mandatory Conversion Date.  The Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Corporation shall be no less than five (5) Business Days and no more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Corporation provides the Notice of Mandatory Conversion to such record holders. The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall state, as appropriate:

The term “equity securities” does not include convertible debt securities, which will rank senior to the Class B Common Stock prior to conversion. All shares of Class B Common Stock shall rank equally with one another and shall be identical in all respects.
 
Section 8. Restrictions on Transfer, Acquisition, Conversion and Redemption of Shares.

(b) Following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock may be transferred by any holder thereof without the prior approval of the Board of Directors, but only in transactions pursuant to which such holder would transfer (i) shares of Class B Common Stock to Affiliates of such holder or (ii) at least fifteen percent (15%) of the shares of Class B Common Stock then held by such holder. No such transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this subparagraph (c) shall be effective unless the holder of such shares delivers to the Corporation an opinion of counsel for the holder, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that the transfer of the shares is in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws (the “Legal Opinion”), and a statement of the holder, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, making appropriate representations and warranties regarding compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  If the holder of shares of Class B Common Stock elects to transfer his, her or its shares pursuant to this subparagraph (c), then such holder shall (in addition to furnishing the Legal Opinion) notify the Corporation in writing of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be transferred and the aggregate sales price of such shares, with such written notice furnished to the Corporation no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the transfer.
