ARTICLE VIII

LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY;

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Section 8.1 Limitation of Director Liability. To the fullest extent that the General Corporations Law or any other law of Puerto Rico as the same exists or is hereafter amended permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no person who is or was a Director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporations Law or any other law of Puerto Rico as the same exists or is hereafter amended. Any repeal, modification or amendment of this Section 8.1 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 8.1, 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 the Corporation does so) 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 8.2 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

 

6


while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered by such indemnitee and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred in a reasonable manner by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding if such indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such indemnitee deemed to be reasonable and consistent with the best interests of the Corporation and not opposed thereto, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such indemnitee’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 indemnitee (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner that such indemnitee deemed to be reasonable and consistent with the best interests of the Corporation and not opposed thereto, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The right to indemnification conferred by this Section 8.2 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 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 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 8.2, 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 8.2 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.

(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 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 8.2, 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.

 

7


(d) This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

(e) The Corporation hereby acknowledges that an indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, insurance and/or advancement of expenses provided by one or more Persons who employ such indemnitee or of which such indemnitee is a partner or member or with such Persons’ respective affiliated investment funds, managed funds and management companies, if applicable, or such Persons’ respective affiliates (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”). The Corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort—meaning that, its obligations under this Section 8.2 are primary and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to advance expenses and provide indemnification for the same expenses and liabilities incurred by any such indemnitee are secondary, (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent legally permitted and as required by this Certificate, the Bylaws or any other agreement between the Corporation and such indemnitee, without regard to any rights that such indemnitee may have against the Secondary Indemnitors and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Secondary Indemnitors from any and all claims that it has or may have against the Secondary Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Secondary Indemnitors shall affect the foregoing and that the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of any such indemnitee against the Corporation. The Corporation and each indemnitee agree that Secondary Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.2.

ARTICLE IX

STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate or the Stockholder Agreement to the contrary, the adoption of any stockholder rights plan, rights agreement or any other form of “poison pill” that is designed to or has the effect of making an acquisition of large holdings of the Corporation’s Common Stock more difficult or expensive (“Stockholder Rights Plan”) or the amendment of any such Stockholder Rights Plan that has the effect of extending the term of a Stockholder Rights Plan or any rights or options provided thereunder, shall require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the entire Board and (ii) for so long as any Principal Stockholder’s Proportionate Percentage is at least 5%, at least one Director nominated by such Principal Stockholder.
