SEVENTH. Management of Corporation. The following provisions are inserted for the
management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation and for the
purpose of creating, defining, limiting and regulating the powers of the Corporation and its
directors and stockholders:
(a) The directors of the Corporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares
of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, shall be classified with
respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly
equal in number as possible. One classs initial term will expire at the first annual
meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, another classs initial term will expire at the second annual
meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and another classs initial term will expire at the third
annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, with directors of each class to hold office until
their successors are duly elected and qualified, provided that the term of each
director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject
to such directors earlier death, resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders
following the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock,
the successors of the directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year
following the year of their election. In the case of any increase or decrease, from time to
time, in the number of directors of the Corporation, the number of directors in each class
shall be
5
apportioned as nearly equal a possible. No decrease in the number of directors shall
shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(b) Subject to any special rights of any holders of any class or series of Preferred
Stock to elect directors, the precise number of directors of the Corporation shall be
fixed, and may be altered from time to time, only by resolution of the Board of Directors.
(c) Subject to this Article Seventh, the election of directors may be conducted in any
manner approved by the person presiding at a meeting of the stockholders or the directors,
as the case may be, at the time when the election is held and need not be by written
ballot.
(d) Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred
Stock, if any, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, (i) until the
first date (such date, the Effective Date) that a group (as defined under
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act)) no longer beneficially owns more than 50.0% of the outstanding shares of Voting
Common Stock, a director may be removed at any time, either for or without cause, upon
affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the votes to which all the
stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to cast in any election of directors or
class of directors and (ii) from and after the Effective Date, a director may be removed
from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a
majority of the votes to which all the stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to
cast in any election of directors or class of directors.
(e) Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred
Stock, if any, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, and except as
otherwise provided by law, any vacancy in the Board of Directors that results from an
increase in the number of directors, from the death, disability, resignation,
disqualification, removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by
a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or
by a sole remaining director.
(f) All corporate powers and authority of the Corporation (except as at the time
otherwise provided by law, by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
or by the By-Laws of the Corporation) shall be vested in and exercised by the Board of
Directors.
(g) The Board of Directors shall have the power without the consent or vote of the
stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation, except to the
extent that this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation otherwise
provide.
(h) No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a
6
director, provided that nothing contained in this Article Seventh shall
eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the directors
duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended after
the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize
corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the
fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so
amended.
(i) The Corporation shall, through its By-Laws or otherwise, indemnify to the fullest
extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as it now
exists or as amended from time to time, any person who is or was a director or officer of
the Corporation or its subsidiaries. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of
Directors, 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 of Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by
Delaware Law.
EIGHTH: Stockholder Action by Written Consent. From and after the Effective Date, any
action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation may be taken only upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting
duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders. The By-Laws may establish
procedures regulating the submission by stockholders of nominations and proposals for consideration
at meetings of stockholders of the Corporation.
NINTH Special Meetings. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for
any purpose or purposes may be called only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors
pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors then in office, and
any right of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting of the stockholders is
specifically denied.
TENTH. Business Opportunities. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and except as may be otherwise expressly
agreed in writing by the Corporation and Explorer Coinvest LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (Explorer Coinvest), the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries,
renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being
offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities, that are from time to time
presented to Explorer Coinvest or any of its respective officers, directors, agents, stockholders,
members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries),
even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed
to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so and no
such
7
person shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any
fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such
person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another
person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business
opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries unless, in the case of any such person who is a
director or officer of the Corporation, such business opportunity is expressly offered to such
director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the
Corporation. Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of
the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article
Tenth. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Article Tenth nor the adoption of any
provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this
Article Tenth shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article Tenth in respect of any business
opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim
that, but for this Article Tenth, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment,
repeal or adoption.
ELEVENTH. Section 203 of the General Corporation Law. The Corporation elects not to
be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, Business
Combinations With Interested Stockholders (Section 203), as permitted under and pursuant
to subsection (b)(3) of Section 203, until the first date that Explorer Coinvest and its affiliates
no longer beneficially own at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Voting Common Stock. From and
after such date, the Corporation shall be governed by Section 203 so long as Section 203 by its
terms would apply to the Corporation.
TWELFTH. Forum. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and
exclusive forum for (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
director or officer of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporations stockholders,
(iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any
provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Corporations Second
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, or (iv) any action asserting
a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
THIRTEENTH. Amendment. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter or repeal
any provision contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the
manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights herein
conferred upon stockholders or directors are granted subject to this reservation, provided,
however, that any amendment, alteration or repeal of Article Seventh, Section (h) shall not
adversely affect any right or protection existing under this Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, including
any right or protection of a director or officer thereunder in respect of any act or omission
occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
