The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the respective classes of the Corporation’s capital stock or the holders thereof and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are set forth in this ARTICLE IV.

Section 4.2 Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series from time to time, with each such series to consist of such number of shares and to have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) and included in a certificate of designations (a “Preferred Stock Designation”), and, the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority, to the full extent now or hereafter provided by law, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions, provided that no such series of preferred may be authorized, and no such Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued, without the prior approval of the terms of the Preferred Stock Designation and of the terms of the issuance by at least one Director nominated by each Principal Stockholder whose Proportionate Percentage is 10% or more and who has the right to nominate a Director pursuant to Section 2 of the Stockholder Agreement.

Section 4.3 Common Stock.

(a) Class A Common Stock. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote. Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders the Class A Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of Directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including a Preferred Stock Designation), holders of Class A Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate (including any amendment to 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 are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation).

(b) Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. The Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall be identical to shares of the Class A Common Stock in every respect, and the rights and privileges of the holders thereof shall be identical (including with respect to dividends and distributions) and shall include all the rights and privileges of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock under the General Corporations Law, except that (i) the holders of shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall not, by virtue of holding such shares, have any right to vote on any matter voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation and (ii) the shares of Class B

 

-2-


Non-Voting Common Stock shall be convertible into Class A Common Stock as set forth in Section 4.3(c) and Section 4.3(d). The voting power for the election of Directors, and for all other purposes, except as is otherwise specifically provided by the General Corporations Law, is vested exclusively in the holders of the Class A Common Stock. The holders of the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall not be entitled to, and expressly waive (i) any right to vote the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock at elections for Directors, or on any question or for any purpose whatsoever, except as is otherwise specifically provided by the General Corporations Law, and (ii) the right to participate in any meeting of stockholders unless matters are to be voted upon at such meeting upon which the holders of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to the specific provisions of the General Corporations Law.

(c) Automatic Conversion of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.

1. At any time immediately prior to or after the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, at the election of the Board, each share of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to such election by the Board shall automatically convert into one share of Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustments as determined by the Board for stock dividends, stock splits or stock combinations (an “Automatic Conversion”). The Board’s election to cause the Automatic Conversion shall require the approval of (i) a majority of the entire Board and (ii) for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 20%, at least one Director nominated by such Principal Stockholder. At the request of the Initial Requesting Holder in connection with an Initial Demand Registration, if (A) it is necessary to comply with the rules and regulations of any applicable Self-Regulatory Organization or (B) if the managing and lead underwriters, in their reasonable judgment, determine that it is advisable and inform the Initial Requesting Holder and the Corporation of such determination, the Corporation will cause an Automatic Conversion.

2. In order to effectuate an Automatic Conversion, each holder of shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall surrender, to the Corporation at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to such holders) during its usual business hours, the certificate or certificates duly endorsed for the shares so converted. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. Following the Board’s election to effectuate an Automatic Conversion, until such time as a holder of shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificates therefor as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon the surrender thereof and shall be deemed to have all of the rights, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of shares of Class A Common Stock.

(d) Optional Conversion of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock into Class A Common Stock.

1. At any point in time, in connection with (i) any sale, occurring simultaneously with or after a Qualified Public Offering, (A) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (B) in the manner described by the provisions of Rule 144(f) under the

 

-3-


Securities Act, other than an offering relating to employee incentive plans or (ii) the exercise of piggyback registration rights in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Stockholder Agreement, a holder of outstanding shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock may elect to convert each share of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to be sold by such stockholder into one share of Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustments as determined by the Board for stock dividends, stock splits or stock combinations. At the time of the consummation of a Tag-Along Transaction involving the Transfer of a majority of the Class A Shares then outstanding in which both Principal Stockholders or Affiliates of each of them are selling Class A Shares, the Tag-Along Offeror may elect to convert each share of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock acquired or to be acquired by it in connection with such Tag-Along Transaction into one share of Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustments as determined by the Board for stock dividends, stock splits or stock combinations. A conversion pursuant to this Section 4.3(d) is referred to as an “Optional Conversion”. In order to exercise an Optional Conversion, a holder of outstanding shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (or, in the case of a Tag-Along Transaction, the Tag-Along Offeror) shall provide written notice to the Corporation identifying the number of shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to be converted. Upon the Corporation’s receipt of such written notice (or, in the case of a Tag-Along Transaction, upon consummation thereof), each share of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock identified in the notice shall immediately and automatically convert as set forth above.

2. In order to effectuate an Optional Conversion, shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall be surrendered, to the Corporation at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by notice in writing to such holders) during its usual business hours, the certificate or certificates duly endorsed for the shares so converted. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder (or, in the case of a Tag-Along Transaction, the Tag-Along Offeror) a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder (or, in the case of a Tag-Along Transaction, the Tag-Along Offeror) is entitled. Following the exercise of an Optional Conversion, until such time as the applicable certificates shall be surrendered as provided above, such certificates shall be deemed to represent the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock shall be converted into and shall be deemed to have all of the rights, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of shares of Class A Common Stock.

(e) Reservation of Class A Common Stock. So long as any shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, from its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and free of preemptive rights, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the conversion in full of all outstanding shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. The Corporation shall further, from time to time, take all steps necessary to increase the authorized number of shares of its Class A Common Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock remaining unissued would otherwise be insufficient to allow delivery of all the shares of Class A Common Stock then deliverable upon the conversion in full of all outstanding shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock.

 

-4-


(f) Dividends and Other Distributions. Dividends shall be paid in accordance with the General Corporations Law. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, if any, as provided in the General Corporations Law, this Certificate (as amended from time to time) or any resolution or resolutions approved thereon by the Board in connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock (any such resolution or resolution of the Board being subject to the prior approval of at least one Director nominated by each Principal Stockholder whose Proportionate Percentage is 10% or more and who has the right to nominate a Director pursuant to Section 2 of the Stockholder Agreement), the record holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in all such dividends and distributions.

(g) Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, if any, in respect thereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.

(h) Rights, Powers, Restrictions and Limitations. As required by the General Corporations Law, while the Corporation is entitled to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, any information consisting of the number of shares, voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions with respect to the issuance of any class or series of stock as approved by resolution or resolutions of the Board shall either be entered in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate or certificates issued by the Corporation to represent such stock, or a statement to the effect that the Corporation will provide, without charge to each stockholder who so requests, a list of such powers, designations, preferences, limitations or restrictions shall be inserted therein.

ARTICLE V

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 5.1 General.

(a) If the Corporation proposes to issue or incur, as applicable, any (A) equity securities, (B) debt securities or other Indebtedness, (C) securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity or debt securities or other Indebtedness or (D) other securities, other than Excluded Securities (the “Offered Securities”), the Corporation shall deliver to each Principal Stockholder and its applicable Partial Rights Transferees a written notice (which notice shall state the number or amount of the Offered Securities proposed to be issued, the purchase price therefor and any other material terms or conditions of the proposed Offered Securities and of their issuance or incurrence, as applicable, including any linked or grouped securities that comprise Offered Securities) of such issuance or incurrence, as applicable (the “Preemptive Offer Notice”) at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance (the period beginning on the date that the Preemptive Offer Notice is delivered to the Principal Stockholders

 

-5-


and applicable Partial Rights Transferees and the date that is ten Business Days following such date being the “Preemptive Offer Period”).

(b) Each Principal Stockholder and applicable Partial Rights Transferees shall have the option, exercisable at any time during the Preemptive Offer Period by delivering a written notice to the Corporation (a “Preemptive Offer Acceptance Notice”), (A) to subscribe for the number or amount of such Offered Securities up to its Proportionate Percentage (excluding for the purposes of this calculation Common Stock beneficially owned by stockholders who are not Principal Stockholders or their applicable Partial Rights Transferees) of the total number or amount of Offered Securities proposed to be issued and (B) in the case of Offered Securities that are not debt securities or other Indebtedness, to offer to subscribe for up to its Proportionate Percentage (excluding for the purposes of this calculation shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by stockholders of Common Stock who are not Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holders) of the Offered Securities not subscribed for by the other Principal Stockholders or their applicable Partial Rights Transferees (as further described below). In the case of Offered Securities that are not debt securities or other Indebtedness, any Offered Securities not subscribed for by a Principal Stockholder or applicable Partial Rights Transferees shall be deemed to be re-offered to and accepted by each of the other Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees that has exercised its option specified in clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence (each a “Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder”), with respect to the lesser of (x) the amount specified in such Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder’s Preemptive Offer Acceptance Notice and (y) an amount equal to the Offered Securities not subscribed for by the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees who are not Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holders. Such deemed re-offer and acceptance procedures described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be repeated until either (1) all of the Offered Securities are accepted by the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees or (2) no Principal Stockholders or applicable Partial Rights Transferees desire to subscribe for more Offered Securities. The Corporation shall notify each Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder within five Business Days following the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period of the number or amount of Offered Securities that such Subscribing Preemptive Rights Holder has subscribed to purchase.

(c) If Preemptive Offer Acceptance Notices are not given by the Principal Stockholders and applicable Partial Rights Transferees for all the Offered Securities, the Corporation may issue the part of such Offered Securities as to which Preemptive Offer Acceptances Notices have not been given by the Principal Stockholders and their applicable Partial Rights Transferees (the “Refused Securities”) to any other Person (a “New Investor”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Preemptive Offer Notice. Any Refused Securities not purchased by one or more New Investors in accordance with this Section 5.1 within 60 days after the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period may not be sold or otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Principal Stockholders under the procedures specified in this Section 5.1.

Section 5.2 Excluded Securities. The rights under this ARTICLE V shall not apply to the following securities issued by the Corporation at any time in compliance with the Stockholder Agreement (the “Excluded Securities”):

(a) shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock in accordance with the terms thereof;

(b) non-voting securities, including any options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any non-voting securities, issued pursuant to the Management Long-Term Compensation Plan, in an aggregate amount (inclusive of any such securities that have been converted into, exercised or exchanged for voting securities) at any time outstanding not to exceed 7.5% (on an as converted, exercised or exchanged basis) of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock as of the date hereof (taking into account any stock dividends or distributions, stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations or other subdivisions or combinations of such Common Stock);

(c) Common Stock issued as a dividend on Common Stock or upon any stock split;

(d) securities issued in connection with a consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or similar transaction involving the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, and a business entity that is not an Affiliate (disregarding clauses (i)(y) and (ii) of the definition of such term) of the Corporation or one of the Principal Stockholders, in each case to the extent that such transaction is conducted in compliance with the Stockholder Agreement;

(e) with the approval of a majority of the Board and, for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 5%, the approval of at least one Director nominated by such Principal Stockholder (to the extent such Principal Stockholder has the right to nominate a Director pursuant to Section 2 of the Stockholder Agreement), securities issued as an equity kicker to one or more Persons to whom the Corporation or one or more of its Subsidiaries is becoming Indebted in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that such incurrence otherwise occurs in compliance with the Stockholder Agreement, and provided further that (A) to the extent any Principal Stockholder or Partial Rights Transferee exercises its Preemptive Rights to such Indebtedness, it shall be entitled to Preemptive Rights pursuant to this ARTICLE V (without respect to this Section 5.2(e)) with respect to such securities issued as an equity kicker) and (B) the effect of such issuance does not discriminate against any Principal Stockholder (including by having a different adverse impact on any Principal Stockholder based on such Principal Stockholder’s identity or any of its attributes);

(f) with the approval of a majority of the Board and, for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 5%, the approval of at least one Director nominated by such Principal Stockholder (to the extent such Principal Stockholder has the right to nominate a Director pursuant to Section 2 of the Stockholder Agreement), to the extent that the Corporation concludes that an issuance is appropriate and desirable and in order to further the business relationship with a customer of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, Common Stock issued on customary terms to such customer, provided that such customer is not an Affiliate (disregarding clauses (i)(y) and (ii) of the definition of such term) of the Corporation or one of the Principal Stockholders, provided further that the effect of such issuance does not discriminate against any Principal Stockholder (including by having a different adverse impact

on any Principal Stockholder based on such Principal Stockholder’s identity or any of its attributes); and

(g) securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any options, warrants or any other derivative securities of the Corporation issued in compliance with (or not otherwise in violation of) this ARTICLE V.

Section 5.3 Termination. The rights set forth in this ARTICLE V shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

Section 5.4 Treasury Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Transfer (other than to a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Corporation) by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries of any security issued by the Corporation shall be deemed to be an issuance of such security by the Corporation for the purposes of this Certificate.

Section 5.5 Certain Debt Issuances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this ARTICLE V, if the managing underwriters for an offering of debt securities or the lead arrangers for issuances of bank or other Indebtedness by the Corporation advise the Corporation in writing that in their opinion the availability of Preemptive Rights to the Principal Stockholders and their Partial Rights Transferees would significantly jeopardize the success of such offering or debt raising (including by adversely affecting the terms on which such debt securities or Indebtedness could be issued or incurred, as applicable), then the Corporation shall provide notice of such opinion in the Preemptive Rights Notice and no Principal Stockholder or Partial Rights Transferee shall have any such Preemptive Rights pursuant to Section 5.1 with respect to such offering or incurrence of debt securities or Indebtedness; provided, however, that, the Principal Stockholders may participate in such offering or debt raising to the extent permitted under Section 8(f) of the Stockholder Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the General Corporations Law, this Certificate, any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders and the Stockholder Agreement (including but not limited to Section 3(c) thereof); provided, however, that, no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

ARTICLE VIII

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

If any Director nominated by a Principal Stockholder or Partial Rights Transferee (other than a Management Director) or Holder (other than a Management Holder) (i) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be an investment or business opportunity or prospective economic or competitive advantage in which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries could have an interest or expectancy (a “Competitive Opportunity”) or (ii) otherwise is then exploiting any Competitive Opportunity, neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries will have any interest in, or expectation that, such Competitive Opportunity be offered to it. Any such interest or expectation is hereby renounced so that such Director or stockholder shall (x) have no duty to communicate or present such Competitive Opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) have the right to either hold any such Competitive Opportunity for such Director’s or stockholder’s own account and benefit or to recommend, assign or otherwise transfer such Competitive Opportunity to Persons other than the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation.

ARTICLE IX

LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY;

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Section 9.1 Limitation of Director Liability.

Any repeal, modification or amendment of this Section 9.1 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this Section 9.1, will, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to further limit or eliminate the liability of Directors) and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

Section 9.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporations Law or any other applicable law of Puerto Rico, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an incorporator, agent, resident agent, Director or officer of the Corporation or, while an incorporator, agent, resident agent, Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an incorporator, resident agent, Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. The right to indemnification conferred by this Section 9.2 shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation for the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending, testifying or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the General Corporations Law requires, an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for the expenses under this Section 9.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 9.2 shall be contract rights, and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be an incorporator, agent, resident agent, Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 9.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise.

 

-10-


(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 9.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this Section 9.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto) and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
