2. Voting.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Certificate of Incorporation, as provided by law or by the resolution(s) or any Preferred Stock Designation providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock will (i) at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote or to be acted upon by written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the stockholders of the Corporation, (ii) be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”), and (iii) be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, each holder of Class A Common Stock will have the right to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder and each holder of Class V Common Stock will have the right to 175 votes per share of Class V Common Stock held of record by such holder.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by law or by the resolution(s) or any Preferred Stock Designation providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election and removal of directors and for all other purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, the holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote or act by written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock unless the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL.

3. Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and distributions and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time, out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock will be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the Board out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares), then the holders of Class A Common Stock will receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be) and the holders of Class V Common Stock will receive shares of Class V Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

4. Subdivisions or Combinations. Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class V Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other class are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership and voting rights between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and the holders of the outstanding Class V Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that shares of one such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved in advance

by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

5. No Preemptive or Subscription Rights. No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive or subscription rights.

6. Liquidation. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to receive ratably the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

7. Issuance of Class V Common Stock. Shares of Class V Common Stock may be issued only to, and registered in the name of, (i) Andrew Dudum (the “Founder”) and/or (ii) any Permitted Class V Owner.

8. Mandatory Conversion of Class V Common Stock.

(a) All shares of Class V Common Stock shall (1) automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class V Common Stock be converted into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock upon any Transfer of such shares of Class V Common Stock, except for a Permitted Transfer; and (2) be subject to conversion into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock upon adoption of a resolution by the Board at any time on or after the one-year anniversary of the date (the “Founder Termination Anniversary Date”) that both of the following conditions (the “Trigger Conditions”) are satisfied:

(i) the earliest to occur of (A) the Founder’s employment as Chief Executive Officer being terminated for Cause or due to death or Permanent Disability and (B) the Founder resigns (other than for Good Reason) as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; and

(ii) either (A) the Founder no longer serves as a member of the Board or (B) the Founder serves as a member of the Board, but his service to the Corporation is not his primary business occupation;

provided, however, that if the Founder is reinstated as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or is reelected or appointed to serve as a member of the Board prior to the Founder Termination Anniversary Date (each a “Reset Event”), then the shares of Class V Common Stock may not be converted pursuant to clause (2) of Section A.8(a) of this Article IV unless and until the one-year anniversary of the date that both Trigger Conditions are subsequently met (such date, the “Next Founder Termination Anniversary Date”); provided, further, that in the event of a subsequent Reset Event, the Next Founder Termination Anniversary Date will extend until the one-year anniversary of the date that both Trigger Conditions are subsequently met without a Reset Event occurring prior to such anniversary. Upon a Transfer of Class V Common Stock upon divorce by settlement, order or decree, or as required by a domestic relations settlement, order or decree, then any shares of Class V Common Stock Transferred thereby shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class V Common Stock be converted into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that any other outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock not so Transferred shall not be automatically converted into Class A Common Stock and shall remain outstanding irrespective of such automatic conversion and such Transfer in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to such conversion, represented one or more shares of Class V Common Stock subject to such conversion will, upon such conversion, be deemed to

 

3


represent an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Corporation will, upon the request of any holder whose shares of Class V Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of such conversion and upon surrender by such holder to the Corporation of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such holder’s shares of Class V Common Stock (if any), issue and deliver to such holder certificate(s) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Class V Common Stock were converted as a result of such conversion (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated or the stockholder otherwise consents, register such shares in book-entry form.

(c) Following any such conversion, the reissuance of shares of Class V Common Stock shall be prohibited, and such shares of Class V Common Stock will be retired by the Corporation and cancelled in accordance with the DGCL and the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State required thereby. Upon such retirement and filing, all references herein to Class A Common Stock will be deemed to be references to Common Stock. Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to such retirement and filing, represented one or more shares of Class A Common Stock will, following such retirement and filing, be deemed to represent an equal number of shares Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.

(d) If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer giving rise to a conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock into Class A Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the Corporation, the Corporation may request that the holder of such shares furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as the Corporation deems necessary to determine whether a conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock to Class A Common Stock has occurred, and if such holder does not within twenty-five (25) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such conversion has occurred, any such shares of Class V Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as of the date of the transfer in question and the same will thereupon be registered on the books, records and stock ledger of the Corporation. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation), the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and the class or classes or series of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder.

9. Definitions. For purposes of this Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation,

(a) “Cause” means (i) the Founder’s unauthorized use or disclosure of the Corporation’s confidential information or trade secrets, which use or disclosure causes material harm to the Corporation, (ii) the Founder’s material breach of any agreement with the Corporation, (iii) the Founder’s material failure to comply with the Corporation’s written policies or rules (including without limitation the Corporation’s ethics or insider trading policies), (iv) the Founder’s conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any State, (v) the Founder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Founder’s duties for the Corporation (with financial accounting improprieties deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct), (vi) the Founder’s continuing failure to perform reasonable assigned duties in accordance with the Founder’s position with the Corporation after receiving written notification of the failure from the Corporation or (vii) the Founder’s failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Corporation or its directors, officers or employees, if the Corporation has requested such cooperation; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (ii), (v), (vi) and (vii), Cause will not be deemed to exist unless the Founder is provided written notice by the Corporation of the condition constituting Cause within 30 days after such condition arises (or the Corporation becomes aware of such condition) and the Founder fails to cure such condition within 30 days after receipt of such written notice.

(b) “Good Reason” means a “separation from service” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as a result of the Founder’s resignation within 12 months after one of the following conditions has come into existence or the Founder becomes aware of such

 

4


condition, in either case without the Founder’s consent: (i) a material diminution of the Founder’s Base Salary (as defined in the Founder’s Change in Control and Severance Agreement with the Corporation) or target bonus in effect prior to such reduction (other than a reduction that is part of an across-the-board reduction applicable to all senior executives of the Corporation, provided that a reduction of less than 10% of the Founder’s Base Salary will not be considered a material reduction; (ii) a material diminution of the Founder’s duties, authorities or responsibilities (including a change in position) or of those of the individual to which the Founder reports; (iii) a material change in the geographic location at which the Founder must perform services for the Corporation that increases the Founder’s one-way commute by more than 35 miles; (iv) a change in the Founder’s reporting to anyone other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; or (v) a breach by the Corporation of the Founder’s Change in Control and Severance Agreement with the Corporation; provided that in the case of (ii) following a Change in Control (as defined in the Founder’s Change in Control and Severance Agreement with the Corporation), neither a mere change in title alone nor reassignment to a position that is comparable to the status and position held prior to the Change in Control shall constitute a material reduction in duties, authorities or responsibilities. A resignation for Good Reason will not be deemed to have occurred unless the Founder gives the Corporation written notice of the condition within 90 days after the condition comes into existence (or, if later, within 90 days after the Founder becomes aware of such event) and the Corporation fails to remedy the condition within 30 days after receiving such written notice.

(c) “Permanent Disability” means a permanent and total disability such that the Founder is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which would reasonably be expected to result in death within twelve (12) months or which has lasted or would reasonably be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months as determined by a licensed medical practitioner.

(d) “Permitted Class V Owner” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, foundation or similar entity wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) by the Founder (including all subsequent successors and assigns), or any trust for the benefit of the Founder, or of which the Founder is a trustee or has sole or shared voting power such that the Founder has Voting Control over the shares held therein; provided that, in each case, the Founder has sole dispositive power and the exclusive right to direct the voting of all of the shares of Class V Common Stock held by such entity and the Transfer to the transferee does not involve any payment of cash, securities, property or other consideration (other than an interest in such entity) to the Founder.

(e) “Permitted Transfer” means any Transfer of a share of Class V Common Stock:

(ii) by a Permitted Class V Owner to the Founder or any other Permitted Class V Owner.

(f) “Transfer” of a share of Class V Common Stock means any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition, whether direct or indirect, of such share of Class V Common Stock or any legal or beneficial interest in such share of Class V Common Stock, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise), including, without limitation, a transfer of a share of Class V Common Stock to a broker or other nominee (regardless of whether there is a corresponding change in beneficial ownership), or the transfer of, or entering into a binding agreement with respect to, Voting Control over such share by proxy or otherwise (other than proxy(ies), voting instruction(s) or voting agreement(s) solicited on behalf of the Board). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pledge of shares of Class V Common Stock by a stockholder that creates a mere security interest in such shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction for so long as such stockholder continues to exercise Voting Control over such pledged shares shall not be considered a “Transfer” within the meaning of this Article IV; provided, however, that a foreclosure on such shares or other similar action by the pledgee shall constitute a “Transfer” unless such foreclosure or similar action independently qualifies as a “Permitted Transfer” at such time. A “Transfer” shall also be deemed to have occurred with respect to a share of Class V Common Stock beneficially held by the transferor, if there occurs any act or circumstance that causes such transfer to not be a Permitted Transfer.

10. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class V Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

11. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Class V Common Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, whether by merger, consolidation, reclassification of capital stock or otherwise, amend, alter, change, repeal or waive any provision in Section A of this Article IV (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith) that would adversely affect the rights of holders of Class V Common Stock, without first obtaining the approval of the Founder, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

B. Preferred Stock

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is hereby authorized to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for the issuance, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock, without stockholder approval, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Preferred Stock Designation”), setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the number of shares to be included in such series, and fixing the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting power of the shares of such series, and the designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to, the determination of the following, all as may be determined from time to time by the Board and stated in the resolution(s) or any Preferred Stock Designation providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock:

(a) the designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

(b) the number of shares of the series, which number the Board may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);

(c) the amounts or rates at which dividends shall be payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative;

(d) the dates on which dividends, if any, shall be payable;

(e) the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;

(f) the terms and amount of any sinking fund, if any, provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

 

6


(g) the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;

(h) whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series or such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made;

(i) restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series;

(j) the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series generally or upon specified events; and

(k) any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution(s) or any Preferred Stock Designation providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.

C. Rights and Options. The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options; provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise thereof may not be less than the par value thereof. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock a number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock in respect of such rights, warrants and options outstanding from time to time.

ARTICLE V

Directors

A. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.

B. Election of Directors. Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot.

C. Number of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

D. Classified Board. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, immediately following the Voting Threshold Date, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”). The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office immediately prior to the Voting Threshold Date to such classes of the Classified Board. The number of directors in each class shall be divided as nearly equally as is practicable. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of

 

7


stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date, and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election.

E. Term and Removal. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission. Prior to the Voting Threshold Date, subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote or act by written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. From and after the Voting Threshold Date, subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, no director may be removed from the Board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, in the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors occurring after the Voting Threshold Date, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes of directors so as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable.

F. Vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy on the Board that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely and exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for the remaining term of his or her predecessor and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal. In the event of a vacancy in the Board, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

G. Removal. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any director (including persons elected by directors to fill vacancies in the Board) or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.

H. Committees. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Board may establish one or more committees to which may be delegated any or all of the powers and duties of the Board to the full extent permitted by law.

I. Stockholder Nominations and Introduction of Business. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for election of directors and other business to be brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner provided by the Bylaws. Business transacted at special meetings of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

ARTICLE VI

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no current or former director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or

 

8


limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. No repeal or modification of this Article VI shall apply to or have any adverse effect on any right or protection of, or any limitation of the liability of, a current or former director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification. For purposes of this Article VI, Article VII, Article IX and Article XII, references to “director” or “officer” shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any person who has served as a director or officer of Oaktree Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company.

ARTICLE VII

The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, shall indemnify, advance expenses and hold harmless all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto (including current and former directors). The Corporation may, by action of the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses to such other employees or agents of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to such extent and to such effect as the Board shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by the DGCL. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a current or former officer or director of the Corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any rights or protection existing hereunder immediately prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VIII

Stockholder Action

A. Action without Meeting. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, from and after the time that the Founder beneficially owns less than a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation, (i) no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and (ii) no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

B. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the majority of the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and may not be called by any other person or persons. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.

ARTICLE IX

If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its current or former directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, and any other provisions authorized by the DGCL may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article X. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock required by law, by this Certificate of Incorporation or by any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, or to adopt any new provision of this Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any of Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article XI, Article XII, Article XIII, Article XIV and this sentence of this Certificate of Incorporation, or in each case, the definition of any capitalized terms used therein or any successor provision (including, without limitation, any such article or section as renumbered as a result of any amendment, alteration, change, repeal or adoption of any provision (other than such article or section as renumbered, or this sentence), in each case, of this Certificate of Incorporation). Any amendment, repeal or modification of any of Article VI, Article VII, and this sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any person existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE XI

Amendment of Bylaws

A. Amendment by Directors. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend and repeal the Bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board.

B. Amendment by Stockholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock required by law, by this Certificate of Incorporation or by any Preferred Stock Designation, the Bylaws may also be amended, altered or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the affirmative vote or written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that if the Board recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such amendment, alteration or repeal.

ARTICLE XII

A. Forum Selection. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current

 

10


or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees or agents arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. This exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

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

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

ARTICLE XIII

The Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, an Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, any director of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director of the Corporation.

ARTICLE XIV

A. Opt Out of DGCL 203. The Corporation shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

 

11


B. Limitations on Business Combinations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not engage in any business combination, at any point in time at which the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with any interested stockholder for a period of three (3) years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

1. prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or

2. upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by: (i) persons who are directors and also officers; or (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

3. at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

C. Definitions. For purposes of this Article XIV, the term:

1. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person.

2. “associate,” when used to indicate a relationship with any person, means: (i) any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity of which such person is a director, officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the owner of 20% or more of any class of voting stock; (ii) any trust or other estate in which such person has at least a 20% beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (iii) any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same residence as such person.

3. “business combination,” when used in reference to the Corporation and any interested stockholder of the Corporation, means:

(a) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation (other than a merger effected pursuant to Sections 253 or 267 the DGCL) or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation: (i) with the interested stockholder; or (ii) with any other corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder and as a result of such merger or consolidation Section B of this Article XIV is not applicable to the surviving entity;

(b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation, to or with the interested stockholder, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation;

(c) any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation of any stock of the Corporation or of such subsidiary to the interested stockholder, except: (i) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the interested stockholder became such; (ii) pursuant to a merger under

 

12


Section 251(g), 253 or 267 of the DGCL; (iii) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which security is distributed, pro rata to all holders of a class or series of stock of the Corporation subsequent to the time the interested stockholder became such; (iv) pursuant to an exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase stock made on the same terms to all holders of said stock; or (v) any issuance or transfer of stock by the Corporation; provided, however, that in no case under items (iii) – (v) of this subsection (c) shall there be an increase in the interested stockholder’s proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the Corporation or of the voting stock of the Corporation (except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments);

(d) any transaction involving the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series, or securities convertible into the stock of any class or series, of the Corporation or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the interested stockholder, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or as a result of any purchase or redemption of any shares of stock not caused, directly or indirectly, by the interested stockholder; or

(e) any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits (other than those expressly permitted in subsections (a)-(d) above) provided by or through the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

4. “control,” including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract, or otherwise. A person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Article XIV, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

5. “interested stockholder” means any person (other than the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that: (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation; or (ii) is an Affiliate or associate of the Corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation at any time within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder; or (iii) an Affiliate or associate of any such person described in clauses (i) and (ii); provided, however, that the term “interested stockholder” shall not include: any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation set forth herein is the result of any action taken solely by the Corporation; provided, that such person shall be an interested stockholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the Corporation, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of “owner” below but shall not include any other unissued stock of the Corporation which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

6. “owner,” including the terms “own” and “owned,” when used with respect to any stock, means a person that individually or with or through any of its Affiliates or associates:

(a) beneficially owns such stock, directly or indirectly; or

 

13


(b) has: (i) the right to acquire such stock (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of stock tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such person or any of such person’s Affiliates or associates until such tendered stock is accepted for purchase or exchange; or (ii) the right to vote such stock pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of any stock because of such person’s right to vote such stock if the agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such stock arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made to ten (10) or more persons; or

(c) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (ii) of subsection (b) above), or disposing of such stock with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose Affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such stock.

7. “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

8. “stock” means, with respect to any corporation, capital stock and, with respect to any other entity, any equity interest.

9. “voting stock” means stock of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Every reference to a percentage of voting stock in this Article XIV shall refer to such percentage of the votes of such voting stock.
