AMENDED AND RESTATED

 

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

OF

 

THE NEW ONLINE COMPANY

 

The New Online Company, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), does hereby certify that:

 

1.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 14, 2013.

 

2.  The terms and provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation have been fully approved by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Stockholders, pursuant to Subsections 141(f), 228(a), 242 and 245 of the DGCL.  The text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation reads in its entirety as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

 

The name of the corporation is Sizmek Inc. (the “Corporation”).

 

ARTICLE II.

 

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19801.  The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

 

ARTICLE III.

 

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the DGCL.

 

ARTICLE IV.

 

A.            The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock which shall be designated, respectively, as common stock (“Common Stock”) and preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”).  The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is

 



 

two hundred fifteen million (215,000,000).  The total number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is two hundred million (200,000,000), with a par value of $0.001 per share, and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is fifteen million (15,000,000), with a par value of $0.001 per share.  Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any Common Stock or Preferred 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 in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, and no vote of the holders of any Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

 

B.            Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is hereby authorized to provide from time to time by resolution or resolutions for the creation and issuance, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock by filing a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) pursuant to the DGCL, setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the designation of such series and the number of shares to be included in such series and fixing the voting powers (full or limited, or no voting power), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of each such series. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, by resolution or resolutions, increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of such series and, if the number of shares of such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

 

ARTICLE V.

 

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

 

A.            (1)           The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in the Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

(2)           Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, at each annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a term to continue until the next annual meeting or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal.

 

(3)           Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the

holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors (the “Voting Stock”).

 

(4)           Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, and except as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal.

 

B.            (1)           In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation. In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock), the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class.

 

(2)           The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

 

ARTICLE VI.

 

A.            Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and the taking of any action by written consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders is specifically denied.

 

B.            Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer), but such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other person or persons.

 

C.            Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of other business proposed to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII.

 

A.            To the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII 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 DGCL as so amended.

 

B.            The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

 

C.            Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

 

ARTICLE VIII.

 

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternate forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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, or other wrongdoing by, any director, officer or employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, or (v) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VIII. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
