(1)    Identical Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights, powers and privileges and rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters. The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

(2)    Voting Rights.

(a)    General Voting Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by the DGCL or other applicable law, holders of shares of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote 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 if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of shares of one or more other such series of Preferred Stock, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (or any Preferred Stock Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL.

(b)    Votes Per Share.

(3)    Dividends. Whenever a dividend, other than a dividend that constitutes a Share Distribution, is paid to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock then outstanding, the Corporation will also pay to the holders of shares of the other class of Common Stock then outstanding an equal dividend per share, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, each voting separately as a class. Dividends will be payable only as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor.

 

-4-


(4)    Share Distributions. If at any time a Share Distribution is to be made with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock then outstanding, the Corporation will also pay a Share Distribution to the holders of shares of the other class of Common Stock then outstanding, and in all events, only as follows (unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, each voting separately as a class):

(a)    a Share Distribution may be declared and paid on an equal per share basis among the shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock consisting of (i) shares of Class A Common Stock or Class A Convertible Securities declared and paid to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock or Class B Convertible Securities declared and paid to holders of shares of Class B Common Stock; or

(b)    a Share Distribution consisting of shares of any class or series of securities of the Corporation or any other Person, other than shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (or Class A Convertible Securities or Class B Convertible Securities), may be declared and paid on the basis of a distribution of (i) identical securities, on an equal per share basis, to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock or (ii) a separate class or series of securities to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and a different class or series of securities to the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, on an equal per share basis to such holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock; provided, that, in connection with a Share Distribution pursuant to clause (ii), such separate classes or series of securities (and, if the distribution consists of Convertible Securities, the Underlying Securities) do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights (and any other differences between the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, mutatis mutandis, and any other related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable), with holders of shares of Class B Common Stock receiving the class or series of securities having (or convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities having) the highest relative voting rights and the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock receiving securities of a class or series having (or convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for securities having) lesser relative voting rights, provided that the highest relative voting rights are no more than twenty times greater than the lesser relative voting rights.

(5)    Treatment in a Change of Control or any Merger Transaction.

(a)    Subject to subsection (c) of Article IV, Section C(5), in connection with any Change of Control Transaction, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Control Transaction shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any consideration into which such shares are converted or any

 

-5-


consideration paid or otherwise distributed to stockholders of the Corporation, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, each voting separately as a class.

(b)    Subject to subsection (c) of Article IV, Section C(5), any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, which is not a Change of Control Transaction, shall require approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, each voting separately as a class, unless (i) the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, including whether such shares remain outstanding with respect to any consideration into which such shares are converted or any consideration paid or otherwise distributed to stockholders of the Corporation in respect thereof; or (ii) such shares are converted on a pro rata basis into shares of the surviving entity or its parent in such transaction having identical rights, powers and privileges to the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, respectively.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, (i) for the avoidance of doubt, consideration to be paid to or received by a holder of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in connection with any Change of Control Transaction or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, which is not a Change of Control Transaction, pursuant to any employment, consulting, severance or similar services arrangement shall be deemed not to be “paid or otherwise distributed to stockholders” or consideration in respect of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation for purposes of this Article IV, Section C(5), and (ii) to the extent all or part of the consideration into which shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock are converted or any consideration paid or otherwise distributed to stockholders of the Corporation in any Change of Control Transaction or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, which is not a Change of Control Transaction, is in the form of securities of another corporation or other entity, then the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall have their shares of Class B Common Stock converted into, or may otherwise be paid or distributed, such securities with a greater number of votes per share (but in no event greater than twenty times) than such securities into which shares of Class A Common Stock are converted, or which are otherwise paid or distributed to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock (and the provisions governing the securities payable or otherwise distributable to the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock may also differ from the provision governing the securities payable or otherwise distributable to the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock in the

 

-6-


same relative manner as the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock differ from each other as set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, mutatis mutandis, and any other related differences in designation, conversion and share distribution provisions, as applicable), without any requirement that such different treatment be approved by the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(6)    Reclassification, Subdivision, or Combination. If the Corporation in any manner reclassifies, subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other such class will concurrently therewith be proportionately reclassified, subdivided or combined in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership and voting rights between the holders of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock on the record date for such reclassification, subdivision or combination, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, each voting separately as a class.

(7)    Liquidation and Dissolution. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, and be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all the assets of the Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the payment in full of the preferential or other amounts to which any series of Preferred Stock are entitled, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, each voting separately as a class. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or Persons nor the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation will itself be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Article IV, Section C(7).

(8)    Redemption. Neither the shares of Class A Common Stock nor the shares of Class B Common Stock are redeemable.

ARTICLE V

A.    Voluntary Conversion of Class B Common Stock.

(2)    In order for a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice to the Corporation’s transfer agent at the office of the transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) that such holder elects to

 

-9-


convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent (which, in the case of a contingent conversion, such notice may be revoked by such holder prior to the time on which the conversion would otherwise occur unless otherwise specified by such holder) and (b) surrender the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such shares of Class B Common Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation (which may include a requirement to post a bond) to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) at the office of the transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificate or certificates so surrendered shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such notice and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (the “Voluntary Conversion Time”), and the shares of Class A Common Stock into which the specified shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted shall be deemed to be outstanding of record at the Voluntary Conversion Time. All rights with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock converted at any Voluntary Conversion Time, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote, will terminate upon the conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Voluntary Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at, prior to, or after such time), except only the rights of the holder of such shares to receive (i) any dividends declared but unpaid on the shares of Class B Common Stock that have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at such Voluntary Conversion Time, and (ii) if the shares of Class B Common Stock converted at such Voluntary Conversion Time were represented by a certificate or certificates immediately prior to such Voluntary Conversion Time, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that immediately prior to such Voluntary Conversion Time represented such shares of Class B Common Stock (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), (x) a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock were converted at such Voluntary Conversion Time if such shares of Class A Common Stock are certificated, and (y) if less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by any one certificate were converted at such Voluntary Conversion Time, a new certificate representing the shares of Class B Common Stock not so converted at such Voluntary Conversion Time. Until surrendered in accordance with this Article V, Section A(2), any certificate or certificates that, immediately prior to the Voluntary Conversion Time, represented shares of Class B Common Stock that have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at such Voluntary Conversion Time shall, from and after such Voluntary Conversion Time, represent only (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted at such

 

-10-


Voluntary Conversion Time, and (ii) in the event less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by a certificate have not been so converted, then such certificate shall also represent the shares of Class B Common Stock that have not been so converted at such Voluntary Conversion Time.

B.    Automatic Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer of such share of Class B Common Stock. In the event of a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Article V, Section B, such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred at the time that the Transfer of such shares occurred.

C.    Conversion Upon Death or Disability. Each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock who is a natural person or by such holder of shares of Class B Common Stock’s Permitted Transferees, other than shares of Class B Common Stock held of record by the Founder or by the Founder’s Permitted Transferees, shall automatically, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the death or Disability of such holder of shares of Class B Common Stock.

D.    Final Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of:

(1)    5:00 p.m. New York time on the date which is (i) ninety (90) days after the date of death or Disability of the Founder or (ii) such later date, not to exceed a total period of five hundred and forty (540) days after the date of death or Disability of the Founder, as may be approved prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of death or Disability of the Founder by a majority of the Independent Directors then in office (which such later date, if any, shall be maintained by the secretary of the Corporation in writing as part of the books and records of the Corporation, a copy of which shall be furnished, without cost, to any stockholder who makes a request therefor); or

(2)    5:00 p.m. New York time on the first Business Day (the “Final Automatic Conversion Time”) falling on or after the seven (7) year anniversary of the time (the “Effective Time”) of the effectiveness of the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that as long as a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, together with its Permitted Transferees, continues to Beneficially Own a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that such holder of shares of Class B Common Stock (a “Continuing Class B Stockholder”), together with its Permitted Transferees, Beneficially Owned immediately prior to the Effective Time, no shares of Class B Common Stock held by such Continuing Class B Stockholder or its Permitted Transferees shall be automatically converted to Class A Common Stock until 5:00 p.m. New York time on the first Business Day following such time as such Continuing

 

-11-


Class B Stockholder, together with its Permitted Transferees, no longer Beneficially Owns a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that such Continuing Class B Stockholder, together with its Permitted Transferees, Beneficially Owned immediately prior to the Effective Time.

E.    Policies and Procedures.

(1)    The Board of Directors may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (as may be amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”), relating to the conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Corporation may, from time to time, require that a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock furnish affidavits or other proof to the Corporation as it deems necessary to verify the ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock and to confirm that a conversion to shares of Class A Common Stock has not occurred, including by requiring a Continuing Class B Stockholder to verify that such Continuing Class B Stockholder and its Permitted Transferees are eligible to retain shares of Class B Common Stock following the Final Automatic Conversion Time in accordance with Article V, Section D(2) hereof. Without limiting the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may determine (and such determination shall be conclusive) that a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock has failed to furnish sufficient evidence to the Corporation (in the manner and time frame provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with this Article V has occurred with respect to such holder of shares of Class B Common Stock, and its Permitted Transferees, and therefore such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and such conversion shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation. A determination by the Board of Directors, acting reasonably and in good faith, that shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Article V shall be conclusive.

(2)    Promptly following any Mandatory Conversion Time, each holder of shares of Class B Common Stock that have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at such Mandatory Conversion Time shall surrender the certificate or certificates, if any, that immediately prior to such Mandatory Conversion Time represented the shares of Class B Common Stock that were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at such Mandatory Conversion Time (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation (which may include a requirement to post a bond) to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) at the office of the transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). If required by the Corporation, any certificate or certificates so surrendered shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation,

 

-12-


duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock converted at any Mandatory Conversion Time, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote, will terminate upon the conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at, prior to, or after such time), except only the rights of the holder of such shares to receive (i) any dividends declared but unpaid on the shares of Class B Common Stock that have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at such Mandatory Conversion Time, and (ii) if the shares of Class B Common Stock converted at such Mandatory Conversion Time were represented by a certificate or certificates immediately prior to such Mandatory Conversion Time, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that immediately prior to such Mandatory Conversion Time represented such shares of Class B Common Stock (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), (x) a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock were converted at such Mandatory Conversion Time if such shares of Class A Common Stock are certificated, and (y) if less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by any one certificate were converted at such Mandatory Conversion Time, a new certificate representing the shares of Class B Common Stock not so converted at such Mandatory Conversion Time. Until surrendered in accordance with this Article V, Section E(2), any certificate or certificates that, immediately prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time, represented shares of Class B Common Stock that have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at such Mandatory Conversion Time shall, from and after such Mandatory Conversion Time, represent only (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted at such Mandatory Conversion Time, and (ii) in the event less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by a certificate have not been so converted, then such certificate shall also represent the shares of Class B Common Stock that have not been so converted at such Mandatory Conversion Time.

F.    Effect of Conversion. Any shares of Class B Common Stock converted pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such class, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Class B Common Stock accordingly.

No amendment or repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article IX, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the immediately preceding provisos shall limit the rights of the Board of Directors as specified in Article IV, Section B or Article X of this Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE XIII

In connection with repurchases by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, advisors, consultants or other persons performing services for this corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment, Section 500 of the California Corporations Code shall not apply in all or in part with respect to such repurchases.

ARTICLE XIV

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation becomes or is declared on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Certificate of Incorporation, and the court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Certificate of Incorporation with a valid and enforceable provision that most accurately reflects the Corporation’s intent, in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the balance of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
