ESCRIPTION OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION

Background and Summary of the Amendment

In connection with the Emergence, the Company’s Board was reconstituted and the Original Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws became effective. Since the Company’s Emergence, certain of the Voting Stockholders have separately engaged in discussions with the Company regarding matters concerning the Board’s structure. In connection with these discussions and as described in more detail below, certain of the Voting Stockholders separately requested that the Company eliminate the classified Board structure so that its directors would be elected annually. In addition, in connection with their discussions, the parties determined to make certain other amendments to the Original Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate provisions that are no longer applicable or necessary, such as those related to previously outstanding warrants and the Emergence, as described in this Information Statement. After each stockholder and the Company agreed upon the basic terms of the Amendment, the Board adopted a resolution setting forth the Amendment and declaring its advisability, and the Voting Stockholders adopted the Amendment through the Written Consent.

The Amendment makes the following changes to the Original Certificate of Incorporation, which are described in greater detail in the table above:

In addition, certain other conforming and ministerial changes are made to the Original Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the changes described above.

The Voting Stockholders consist of Franklin; “GEN IV Investment Opportunities, LLC,” LSP Generation IV, LLC and LSP Investment Advisors, LLC and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Gen IV”); Anchorage Illiquid Opportunities V LP and AIO V AIV 1 Holdings, LP and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “Anchorage Capital”); Walter G. Goodrich, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert C. Turnham, Jr., the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Franklin has existing board nomination rights pursuant to the Original Certificate of Incorporation, and thus has been involved in discussions with the Company and the Board regarding corporate governance matters since the adoption of the Original Certificate of Incorporation. Anchorage Capital, as disclosed in its Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 24, 2018, has been “engaged . . . with management, the [Company’s] board of directors, other shareholders of the [Company] and other relevant parties . . . concerning [Anchorage Capital’s] investment in the [Company], including, without limitation, matters concerning the business, operations, governance, board composition, [and] director candidates . . . of the [Company].” Gen IV, as disclosed in its Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 22, 2018, has “had numerous constructive discussions with the [Company’s] management to express their views as to the [Company’s] business and its current strategies to enhance or maximize shareholder value,” and “may from time to time . . . express their views to . . . management, [the Company’s] board of directors, [or] other shareholders . . . [including with respect to] corporate governance [and] board composition.” Accordingly, the Company believes that the Amendment was the product of separate discussions between the Company and the Voting Stockholders in contrast to a Company-generated proposal for which Voting Stockholder support was solicited.

Summary of Charter Amendment; Effect

Our Original Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board be divided into three classes of directors. Directors of each class are chosen for three-year terms and, each year at the annual meeting of stockholders, one class of directors is elected by the stockholders. In addition, the holders of a majority of the previously outstanding warrants were entitled to designate nominees to serve as the Class I directors of the Board and for so long as Franklin

owns greater than 10% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company, Franklin is entitled to designate three nominees to serve as the Class II directors of the Board. The current terms of the Class I, Class II and Class III directors will expire at the annual meetings of stockholders held in 2020, 2021 and 2019, respectively.

While a classified Board may offer several advantages, such as promoting Board continuity and stability, encouraging directors to take a long-term perspective, and reducing a company’s vulnerability to coercive takeover tactics, certain of the Voting Stockholders advocated for a non-classified Board because it represented “best practices” in corporate governance. Upon filing of the Amended Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will no longer have a classified Board. As a result, the Company currently expects that all Company directors will be up for election at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting.

As of June 13, 2019, all of the issued and outstanding warrants had been exercised such that the provisions of the Original Certificate of Incorporation regarding warrant holder appointment rights and rights of approval with respect to any amendment or restatement of the Original Certificate of Incorporation that amends in any manner the rights of warrant holders are no longer applicable. Accordingly, the Board and the Voting Stockholders determined that it was appropriate to remove such provisions from the Original Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to the Amendment.

In addition, the Original Certificate contains certain provisions related to, or required by, the Company’s Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. Following the Emergence and the Company’s settlement of the final outstanding bankruptcy claims, these provisions are no longer applicable, or required, and thus the Company and the Voting Stockholders determined that it was appropriate to remove such provisions from the Original Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to the Amendment.

Vote Required

Section 242 of the DGCL required the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Article TWELFTH of our Certificate of Incorporation required the vote of Franklin in its individual capacity to approve and adopt the Amendment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Information Available

The Company is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Exchange Act, the Company files periodic reports, documents and other information with the SEC relating to its business, financial statements and other matters, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (as amended), and any reports prior to or subsequent to that date.

These reports and other information filed by the Company with the SEC may be inspected and are available for copying at the public reference facilities maintained at the SEC at 100 F Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20549.

The Company’s filings with the SEC are also available to the public from the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (as amended), and other reports filed under the Exchange Act, are also available to any stockholder at no cost upon request to investor relations at (713) 780-9494 or via our website at www.goodrichpetroleum.com/investor.relations.

The Company will pay the cost of preparing, filing and mailing the Notice and this Information Statement.

Delivery of Documents to Security Holders Sharing an Address

We plan to send only one copy of the Notice and this Information Statement to stockholders as of the Record Date who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, if multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of the Notice and this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call the Company’s principal executive offices. In addition, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing to a stockholder upon request. You may make any such written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification

stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to the Company at 801 Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, TX 77002 or by calling the Corporate Secretary’s office at (713) 780-9494.

Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of the Notice and this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.

2019 Annual Meeting

The Board has established August 20, 2019 as the date of the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board has set the close of business on July 16, 2019 as the record date for determining stockholders who are eligible to receive notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting. The Company will publish additional details regarding the exact time, location and matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 60 days after the anniversary date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for stockholders to submit proposals and nominations for directors pursuant to the Bylaws as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2018 annual meeting is no longer effective. Under the Bylaws, in order for stockholder proposals and director nominations to be presented at the Annual Meeting (other than by means of inclusion of a stockholder proposal in proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, which is described below), written notice must be received by the Secretary at Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, 801 Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, Texas 77002 not later than the close of business on July 4, 2019. Such notice must comply with the procedural and content requirements of the Bylaws.

Because the date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days after the anniversary date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for stockholders to submit proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be a “reasonable time” before the Company begins printing and sending its proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. Stockholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 were required to be sent and received by the Secretary no later than the close of business on December 25, 2018. Given that the Company has moved the Annual Meeting back from the anniversary date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company believes that December 25, 2018 was a reasonable time before it will begin printing and sending its proxy materials, and is not providing a new deadline for Rule 14a-8 proposals to be submitted for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting.

particular series (any of which powers, other than voting powers, may by resolution of the Board of Directors be specifically delegated to one or more of its committees, except as prohibited by law) shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:

1.   the number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series, or any increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) in such number;

4.   Preemptive Rights. Any issuance of Common Stock, or other capital stock, and rights, convertible securities, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock or other capital stock issued subsequent to the effective date of the Plan (“New Securities”) by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, other than an issuance of Exempt Securities (as defined below), shall be subject to the below.

(a)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Corporation hereby grants to each stockholder that, together with its affiliates (which shall include any funds managed by the same investment manager), holds of record at least 10 percent of the Common Stock then outstanding (each, a “Qualified Shareholder”) the right to purchase its pro rata share of any and all issuances, sales or distributions New Securities proposed to be made by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries as set forth herein.

(b)   The Corporation shall give each Qualified Shareholder written notice of the Corporation’s intention to issue or sell New Securities (which notice may be provided by posting the requisite information on the Corporation’s website and notifying (or causing notification to be delivered to) each of such Qualified Shareholders of such posting in writing) (the “Issuance Notice”), describing the type and terms of the New Securities, the price at which such New Securities will be issued or sold and the general terms upon which the Corporation proposes to issue or sell the New Securities, including the anticipated date of such issuance, sale or distribution, the general use of proceeds thereof, a description of both the business purpose of the offering of such New Securities and the dilutive effects, if any, of such offering, the pro rata share of each of them and the record date for determining Qualified Shareholders which, if not specified in the Issuance Notice, shall be the date of the Issuance Notice (the “Preemptive Offer Record Date”). Each Qualified Shareholder shall have 10 business days from the date the Issuance Notice is sent to deliver notice (the “Response Notice”) of its intention to purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share of the New Securities, based on the ratio of the shares of Common Stock held by such Qualified Shareholder on the Preemptive Offer Record Date to the number of shares of Common Stock held by all the Qualified Shareholders on the Preemptive Offer Record Date, and stating therein the quantity of New Securities it intends to purchase (each Qualified Shareholder who delivers a Response Notice hereunder is a “Purchaser” for purposes of this Section); provided that if the Corporation determines that a 10 business day period is not practical, the Corporation shall specify a shorter period (which shall be as long a period as is reasonably practical but in no event less than 3 business days) in the Issuance Notice. Such Response Notice shall constitute the irrevocable agreement of such Purchaser to purchase the quantity of New Securities indicated in the Response Notice at the price and upon the terms stated in the Issuance Notice; provided, however, that if the Corporation is proposing to issue, sell or distribute securities for consideration other than all cash, and subject to the limitations on the rights set forth in this Section, the

Corporation shall accept from such Purchaser either non-cash consideration that is reasonably comparable to the non-cash consideration proposed by the Corporation or the cash value of such non-cash consideration, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any purchase of New Securities by a Purchaser pursuant to this Section shall be consummated on or prior to the later of (x) the date on which all other Offered Securities described in the applicable Issuance Notice are issued, sold or distributed and (y) the second business day following delivery of the Response Notice by such Purchaser.

(c)   The Corporation shall have 60 days from the date of the applicable Issuance Notice to consummate an issuance, sale or distribution of any New Securities which the Qualified Shareholders have not elected to purchase pursuant to Section B(4)(b) of this Article Fourth to other Persons at a price and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Corporation than those contained in the Issuance Notice, on the condition that any Person purchasing New Securities pursuant to such offer must comply with this Section. In the event that the sale of New Securities is not fully consummated within such 60 day period, then the Corporation shall be obligated once again to offer the purchase rights set forth in Section B(4)(b) of this Article Fourth before it may subsequently sell such New Securities (provided that such 60 day period shall automatically toll, but not for longer than 180 days to the extent regulatory approval would be required for such Qualified Shareholder to acquire such New Securities).

(d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Qualified Shareholders shall not have the right to participate in the issuance of any New Securities which are otherwise authorized to be issued in accordance with this Agreement (i) if such New Securities were issued as consideration in any merger, consolidation or combination with or acquisition of securities or assets of another person in exchange for New Securities, (ii) if made upon conversion or exercise of any rights, convertible securities, options or warrants to purchase Common Stock or other capital stock of the Corporation, (iii) if made by any subsidiary of the Corporation to the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, (iv) if made as securities which are the subject of an effective registration statement, (v) if made to directors (each, a “Director”), officers, employees or consultants as compensation pursuant to any employee incentive plans or (vi) if such New Securities were issued in connection with the Plan (the New Securities described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), “Exempt Securities”).

(e)   Nothing in this Section shall prevent the Corporation or its subsidiaries from issuing or selling to any person (an “Accelerated Buyer”) any New Securities without first complying with the provisions of this Section; provided that in connection with such issuance or sale (i) the Corporation gives reasonably prompt notice to the Qualified Shareholders of such issuance (after such issuance has occurred), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the New Securities purchased by the Accelerated Buyer and the purchase price thereof and (ii) the Accelerated Buyer and the Corporation enable the Qualified Shareholders to effectively exercise their respective rights under this Section with respect to their purchase of their pro rata share of the New Securities issued to the Accelerated Buyer within 15 business days after receipt of the notice by the Qualified Shareholder of such issuance to the Accelerated Buyer on the terms specified in this Section. The Preemptive Offer Record Date for such issuance shall be the date such New Securities are issued to the Accelerated Buyer.

C.      Limitation on Voting

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate to the contrary, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”) and its affiliates, collectively, shall not be entitled to vote, directly or indirectly, equity securities of the Corporation representing, in aggregate, greater than 4.99% of the total combined voting power of any class of equity securities of the Corporation entitled to vote on any matter (any equity securities held by JPMS and its affiliates, collectively, in excess of such 4.99% limitation, the “Excess Voting Stock”). For the avoidance of doubt, if JPMS or any of its affiliates shall transfer any Excess Voting Stock to any other person that is not an affiliate of JPMS, the limitation set forth in this Section C of this Article Fourth shall no longer apply to such Excess Voting Stock. Excess Voting Stock may only be transferred by JPMS or any of its affiliates: (i) among or between JPMS and its affiliates; (ii) in a widespread public distribution; (iii) in transfers in which no transferee (or group of associated transferees) would receive from JPMS and its affiliates in such sale or transfer two percent (2%) or more of any class of voting securities of the Corporation, which for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the amount of securities already owned by such transferee (together with its affiliates or group of associated transferees) prior to such transfer; (iv) to an underwriter for the purpose of conducting a widespread public distribution of the voting securities of the Corporation; (v) to the Corporation; or (vi) to a transferee that would control more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Corporation without any transfer of Excess Voting shares from JPMS or its affiliates.

D.      Nonvoting Equity Securities

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate to the contrary, the Corporation shall not issue nonvoting equity securities to the extent prohibited by Section 1123 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 1123 (“Section 1123”), and the Corporation shall provide, as to any classes of securities possessing voting power, an appropriate distribution of such power among such classes, including, in the case of any class of equity securities having a preference over another class of equity securities with respect to dividends, adequate provisions for the election of Directors representing such preferred class in the event of default in the payment of such dividends; provided, however, that this provision (i) will have no further force and effect beyond that required by Section 1123, (ii) will have such force and effect, if any, only for so long as such Section 1123 is in effect and applicable to the Corporation and (iii) in all events may be amended or eliminated in accordance with applicable law as from time to time in effect. The prohibition on the issuance of nonvoting securities is included in this Certificate in compliance with Section 1123.

FIFTH: The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or this Certificate, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation.

The number of Directors shall be as specified in the Corporation’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”), provided, however, that following the confirmation of the Plan by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division, the initial Board of Directors (the “Initial Board”) shall consist of seven Directors. the Board of Directors shall consist of one or more Directors and shall be of one class. Each Director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The Initial Board shall consist of Walter G. Goodrich and Robert C. Turnham, Jr., who will serve as Class III Directors, K. Adam Light, Ronald F. Coleman and Thomas M. Souers, who will serve as Class II Directors and Eugene I. Davis and Timothy D. Leuliette, who will serve as Class I Directors. The initial term of the Class I Directors shall end on the date of the first At each annual meeting of stockholders following the effective date of this Certificate, the term of the Class II Directors shall end on the anniversary of the first be elected for a term of office to expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders following the effective date of this Certificate and the term of the Class III Directors shall end on the second anniversary of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effective date of this Certificate. Following the expiration of the initial term of the Class I Directors and until the later to occur of (i) March 30, 2020 and (ii) the date of the annual meeting of stockholders in the year 2020 (the “Warrant Holder Designation Period”), the holders of a majority of the then outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”) issued by the Corporation to the New 2L Notes Purchasers (as such term is defined in the Plan) pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2016, by and between the Corporation and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, shall be entitled to designate nominees to serve as the Class I Directors to the Board of Directors (the “Warrant Holder Selected Directors”). Following the expiration of the initial term of the Class II Directors and for with each Director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or, if earlier, until his or her death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. For so long as funds and accounts managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Franklin”) shall beneficially own greater than 10% of the total outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Franklin Designation Period”), Franklin shall be entitled to designate three nominees to serve as the Class II Directors to the Board of Directors (the “Franklin Selected Directors”), with it being understood that Franklin shall permanently, despite any later increase in its Common Stock ownership, no longer be entitled to designate any director nominees at such time as Franklin beneficially owns 10% or less of the total outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation.

During the Warrant Holder Designation Period, the Corporation and the Board of Directors shall cause the Warrant Holder Selected Directors to be the Corporation’s own nominees for election as Class I Directors at each annual meeting of stockholders in which the Class I Directors are to be elected, and the Corporation, the Board of Directors and the stockholders shall use their respective best efforts to cause the election of the Warrant Holder Selected Directors to the Board of Directors (including supporting each Warrant Holder Selected Director for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Corporation supports any other nominee). During the Warrant Holder Designation Period, if any Warrant Holder Selected Director has resigned, died, or is otherwise unable to serve as Director for any reason, the Corporation and the Board of Directors shall cause a

replacement of such Warrant Holder Selected Director designated in writing by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants to be installed in office in replacement of such Warrant Holder Selected Director promptly (but in no event more than twenty business days) following the delivery of such written notice.

During the Franklin Designation Period, the Corporation and the Board of Directors shall cause the Franklin Selected Directors to be the Corporation’s own nominees for election as Class II directors at each annual meeting of stockholders in which the Class II directors Directors are to be elected, and the Corporation, the Board of Directors and the stockholders shall use their respective best efforts to cause the election of the Franklin Selected Directors to the Board of Directors (including supporting each Franklin Selected Director for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Corporation supports any other nominee). During the Franklin Designation Period, if any Franklin Selected Director has resigned, died, or is otherwise unable to serve as director for any reason, the Corporation and the Board of Directors shall cause a replacement of such Franklin Selected Director designated in writing by Franklin to be installed in office in replacement of such Franklin Selected Director promptly (but in no event more than twenty business days) following the delivery of such written notice.

Except as otherwise provided in this Article Fifth, the number of Directors in each class shall be the whole number contained in the quotient arrived at by dividing the authorized number of Directors by three and if a fraction is also contained in such quotient and if such fraction is one-third, the extra Director shall be a member of Class II, and if the fraction is two-thirds, one extra Director shall be a member of Class II and the other shall be a member of Class I. Except as otherwise provided in this Article Fifth, each Director elected at an annual meeting shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the meeting at which such Director was elected. The foregoing notwithstanding, each Director shall serve until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. If for any reason the number of Directors in the various classes shall not conform with the formula set forth in this Section, the Board of Directors may redesignate any Director in a different class in order that the balance of Directors in such class shall conform thereto; provided, however, that no such redesignation may have the effect of reducing the term to which a Director was elected. Election of Directors need not be by written ballot.

Vacancies Except as otherwise provided herein, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining Director; and any Director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such Directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors annual meeting for the election of Directors and until his or her successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify. If the number of Class I Directors is increased during the Warrant Holder Designation Period, the Corporation and the Board of Directors shall cause any vacancy created by such increase to be filled by an additional Warrant Holder Selected Director designated in writing by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants. If the number of Class II Directors is increased during the Franklin Designation Period, the Corporation and the Board of Directors shall cause any vacancy created by such increase to be filled by an additional Franklin Selected Director designated in writing by Franklinqualified.

SIXTH: In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws.

EIGHTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of the DGCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of the DGCL order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, or the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.

TENTHNINTH: Any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action to be so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote theron thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or to any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Article TenthNinth, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation as aforesaid. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing, and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

ELEVENTHTENTH: Subject to the terms of any one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, at the request in writing or by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors or a majority of the holders of Common Stock.

thereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a Director or stockholder of the Corporation by the Certificate or any amendment thereof are subject to such right of the Corporation; provided, however, that, (a) during the Warrant Holder Designation Period, no amendment or restatement of the Certificate that amends in any manner the rights of the holders of the Warrants with respect to the Warrant Holder Selected Directors, or the obligations of the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the stockholders with respect thereto, in each case as set forth in Article Fifth and Article Seventh hereof, or that amends this proviso, shall be effective unless and until such amendment or restatement has also been approved in writing by holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants, and (b) during the Franklin Designation Period, no amendment or restatement of the Certificate that amends in any manner the rights of Franklin with respect to the Franklin Selected Directors, or the obligations of the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the stockholders with respect thereto, in each case as set forth in Article Fifth hereof, or that amends this proviso, shall be effective unless and until such amendment or restatement has also been approved in writing by Franklin.

THIRTEENTHTWELFTH: Directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation shall have the following rights, as applicable:

1.   Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venture, proprietor, trustee, employee or agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer partner, venture, proprietor, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director, officer partner, venture, proprietor, trustee, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article Thirteenth Twelfth shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed Director or officer in his or her capacity as a Director or officer or proposed Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a Director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1 or otherwise. Any repeal or amendment of this Article Thirteenth Twelfth shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such Director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such Director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Article ThirteenthTwelfth.

2.   Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of Directors and officers provided for in this Article ThirteenthTwelfth.

3.   Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article Thirteenth Twelfth is not paid in full by the Corporation within 90 days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of

prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

4.   Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article Thirteenth Twelfth shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of this Certificate, the Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

If this Article Thirteenth Twelfth or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article Thirteenth Twelfth that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

For purposes of this Article ThirteenthTwelfth, reference to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its Directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article Thirteenth Twelfth with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

FOURTEENTHTHIRTEENTH: The Corporation shall not be governed by or subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any successor statute thereto.

FIFTEENTHFOURTEENTH: To the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Corporation or on its behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any Director, officer, employee, stockholder or other agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (3) any action arising or asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or any provision of this Certificate or the Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, including, without limitation, any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Certificate or the Bylaws. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Fourteenth.
