(i)            The method of valuation of securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability shall be as follows:

 


 

(A)          unless otherwise specified in a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Corporation, if the securities are then traded on a national securities exchange or a national quotation system, then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution;

 

(B)          if actively traded over-the-counter, then the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; or

4.             Conversion.

 

(a)           Shares of Preferred Stock may be voluntarily converted to Common Stock upon the election at any time of a holder of Preferred Stock, and shall be automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of Article IV(B)(4)(c).  The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion thereof shall be the product obtained by multiplying the then applicable Conversion Ratio (as defined below) for the shares of Preferred Stock being so converted by the number of shares of Preferred Stock being so converted.  The “Conversion Ratio” in effect at any time for conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the initial Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect at the time of such conversion.  With respect to any conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the initial “Conversion Price” with respect to any series of Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Original Issue Price of such series of Preferred Stock.  The Conversion Price (and hence, the Conversion Ratio) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article IV(B)(4)(d) hereof.

 

(b)           To the extent a holder of Preferred Stock elects to convert its Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(4)(a) above, the record holder of such Preferred Stock shall deliver at any time during normal business hours to the principal office of the Corporation or at the office of the Corporation’s transfer agent for Common Stock (i) the certificate or certificates representing such Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation and to the transfer agent, if applicable, duly executed by such holder or such holder’s authorized attorney and (ii) written notice to the Corporation stating that the record holder elects to convert such share or shares and stating the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion are to be issued and including instructions for the delivery thereof.

 



 

Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the time when delivery is made to the principal office of the Corporation or the office of the transfer agent of such written notice and the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Stock to be converted, and as of such time, each Person named in such written notice as the Person to whom a certificate representing Common Stock is to be issued shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the number of Common Stock to be evidenced by that certificate.  Upon such delivery, the Corporation or the transfer agent shall promptly issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Person is entitled by reason of such conversion and shall cause such shares of Common Stock to be registered in the name of such Person.

 

(c)           Shares of Preferred Stock shall be subject to automatic conversion at the applicable Conversion Ratio then in effect as follows:

 

(i)            upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 70% of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, to cause the conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock; and

 

(ii)           immediately prior to, but contingent upon, the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

(d)           The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(i)            If the Corporation (a) declares and pays a dividend or makes a distribution on shares of Common Stock, which is payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivides or reclassifies its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (c) combines or reclassifies its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that the holder of a share of Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive if such share of Preferred Stock had been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event.  An adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV(B)(4)(d) shall be effective on the effective date of any such event.

 

(ii)           If the Corporation shall (A) sell or issue shares of Common Stock, (B) sell, issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock or (C) sell, issue or distribute other rights or securities convertible into or for the purchase of shares of Common Stock (each, a “Common Stock Transaction”), at a price per share of Common Stock (calculated as provided in Article IV(B)(4)(d)(iii)) less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before such Common Stock Transaction (the “Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price”):

 

(x) first, the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price shall be reduced (the “Resulting Conversion Price”) to the amount determined by multiplying such Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior

 



 

to such Common Stock Transaction (assuming the conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock and the exercise of any warrant or option then exercisable for Common Stock) plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received in such Common Stock Transaction by the Corporation would purchase at the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Transaction (assuming the conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock and the exercise of any warrant or option exercisable for Common Stock) (the “First Pro Forma Capitalization”) (the calculation set forth in this subsection (x) being the “First Antidilution Adjustment”).

 

(y) second, if the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Prices were reduced for (i) the Series C Preferred Stock and (ii) the Series B Preferred Stock and/or the Series A Preferred Stock as a result of the First Antidilution Adjustment, the Resulting Conversion Price for each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be further reduced to the amount determined by multiplying such Resulting Conversion Price for each share of Series C Preferred Stock by a fraction the numerator of which shall be (A) number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Transaction (assuming the conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock and the exercise of any warrant or option then exercisable for Common Stock) plus (B) the number of Additional Series A and/or B and C Shares resulting from the First Antidilution Adjustment plus (C) the number of shares obtained by dividing the aggregate investment amount in the Common Stock Transaction by the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Transaction immediately after applying the calculation set forth in subsection (x).  The “Additional Series A and/or B and C Shares” shall mean the sum of (A) the difference between (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock based on the Resulting Conversion Price, minus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock based on the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price, plus (B) the difference between (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock based on the Resulting Conversion Price, minus

 



 

(ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock based on the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price, plus (C) the difference between (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock based on the Resulting Conversion Price, minus (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock based on the Section 4.d.ii Existing Conversion Price.

 

The adjustment provided for in this Article IV(B)(4)(d)(ii) shall be made successively whenever a Common Stock Transaction occurs, and shall become effective upon the consummation thereof.  In determining the aggregate consideration received as a result of any such Common Stock Transaction by the Corporation, the value of consideration other than cash shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(iii)          If the Corporation makes any distribution to holders of shares of its Common Stock or to holders of any Preferred Stock, which distribution consists of or includes any securities of the Corporation or evidences of indebtedness or other assets (excluding distributions made in accordance with Article IV(B)(2)(d)) or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those as to which an adjustment has been made pursuant to Article IV(B)(4)(d)(ii) hereof), without making the same pro rata distribution to all holders of Preferred Stock, then in each such case, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before such distribution (the “Section 4.D.iii Existing Conversion Price”) shall be reduced to the amount determined by multiplying the Section 4.d.iii Existing Conversion Price, by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Section 4.d.iii Existing Conversion Price less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of items so distributed with respect to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Section 4.d.iii Existing Conversion Price.

 

(iv)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article (IV)(B)(4)(d) shall not apply to any Exempt Issuances.

 

(e)           For the purposes of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price as provided above, the following shall apply:

 

(i)            in the case of issuance of any shares of Common Stock for cash, any consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deductions be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Corporation for underwriting the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;

 

(ii)           in the case of issuance of any shares of Common Stock for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board, without regard to the accounting treatment thereof; and

 



 

(iii)          in the case of the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the aggregate consideration received from the issuance of such securities shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Corporation for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the value of such consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii)).

 

(f)            In case at any time prior to the conversion of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation:

 

(i)            the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all the holders of shares of Common Stock rights to subscribe for or purchase any securities or any other rights in respect of the Corporation;

 

(ii)           there shall be any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock);

 

(iii)          there shall be any capital reorganization by the Corporation;

 

(iv)          there shall be a consolidation or merger involving the Corporation or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets (except a merger or other reorganization in which the Corporation shall be the surviving entity or a consolidation, merger or sale with a wholly-owned subsidiary);

 

(v)           there shall be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or, as applicable, a Deemed Liquidation of the Corporation; or

 

(vi)          there shall be a distribution to holders of Common Stock or any other event described in Article IV(B)(4)(d),

 

then in any one or more of said cases, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock, at the earliest practicable time, notice of the date on which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken for such distribution or subscription rights or such reorganization, sale, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall take place, as the case may be.  Such notice shall also set forth such facts as shall indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, including on the applicable Conversion Price.  Such notice shall also specify the date, if known, of the relevant event.

 

(g)           No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.  The number of shares issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.  If the conversion would result in any fractional share, the Corporation

 



 

shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay the holder thereof an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share on the date of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(h)           Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article IV(B)(4), the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (1) such adjustment and readjustment, (2) the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (3) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of such series of Preferred Stock.

 

(i)            In connection with the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation further agrees as follows:

 

(i)            The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock not theretofore converted.  The Corporation shall from time to time, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, increase the authorized amount of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

 

(ii)           Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the applicable Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the adjusted applicable Conversion Price.

 

(iii)          Except where registration is requested in a name other than the name of the registered holder, the Corporation will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.

 

5.             Status.

 

Upon conversion or exchange of the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled promptly after conversion thereof.  No shares of Preferred Stock shall be reissued by the Corporation.

 



 

6.             Voting Rights.

 

The holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters subject to the vote of any of the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, and the holders of Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of the Stockholders, or the holders of Preferred Stock may act by written consent in the same manner as holders of shares of Common Stock, upon the following basis: each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such number of votes for the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder on the record date fixed for such meeting, or on the effective date of such written consent, as shall be equal to the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which all of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock are convertible immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or as may otherwise be provided in the Stockholders’ Agreement, any action to be taken or decision to be made by the holders of Preferred Stock shall be made or taken by the holders of Preferred Stock holding at least 70% of the Preferred Stock voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.

8.             Redemption.

 

(a)           Series C Preferred Stock.

 

(i)            The Series C Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation out of funds lawfully available therefor (the “Series C Redemption”) at a price equal to the Liquidation Preference for the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Redemption Price”), not more than 60 days after receipt by the Corporation at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the Series C Original Issue Date, from the holders of at least 70% of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, of written notice (the “Series C Redemption Notice”) requesting redemption of all shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Redemption Date”).  If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available on the

 



 

Series C Redemption Date to redeem all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s redeemable shares of such Series C Preferred Stock out of funds legally available therefor, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the legally available funds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor.

 

(ii)           On or before the Series C Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (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 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) to the Corporation, and thereupon the Series C Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof.  In the event less than all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

(iii)          If on or prior to the Series C Redemption Date the Series C Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Series C Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Series C Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Series C Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

 

(b)           Series B Preferred Stock.

 

(i)            Subject to Article IV(B)(8)(c), the Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation out of funds lawfully available therefor (the “Series B Redemption”) at a price equal to the Liquidation Preference for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Redemption Price”), not more than 60 days after receipt by the Corporation at any time on or after the later to occur of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Series B Original Issue Date and (y) immediately following the Series C Redemption Date, from the holders of at least 70% of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, of written notice (the “Series B Redemption Notice”) requesting redemption of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Redemption Date”).  If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available on the Series B Redemption Date to redeem all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s redeemable shares of such Series B Preferred Stock out of funds legally available therefor, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the legally available funds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor.

 



 

(ii)           On or before the Series B Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (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 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) to the Corporation, and thereupon the Series B Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof.  In the event less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

(iii)          If on or prior to the Series B Redemption Date the Series B Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Series B Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Series B Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Series B Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

 

(c)           Priority of Redemption.

 

In no event shall a Series B Redemption take place prior to a Series C Redemption.  If a Series B Redemption Notice is delivered prior to a Series C Redemption Notice, the Company shall have no obligation to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock and shall notify the holders of Series B Preferred Stock that the Series B Redemption cannot be consummated.

 

9.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly provided, whenever in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation notices or other communications are required to be made, delivered or otherwise given to holders of Preferred Stock, the notice may be delivered personally, by mail, or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the Stockholder to whom the notice is given.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the Stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.  Notice given by a form of electronic transmission shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the Stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the Stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with a separate notice to the Stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (a) such posting and (b) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the Stockholder.

 



 

(b)           Except as may otherwise be required by law, the shares of Preferred Stock shall not have any designations, preferences, limitations or relative rights, other than those specifically set forth in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation and any applicable agreement between or among any of the Stockholders and the Corporation.

 

(c)           If any right, preference or limitation of the Preferred Stock set forth herein (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule or law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution (as so amended) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be amended by the holders of Preferred Stock holding at least 70% of the outstanding Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, at any annual or special meeting of the holders of the Preferred Stock or by written consent in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

(e)           This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall automatically terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

C.            Common Stock.  Except as otherwise provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) or by applicable law, the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of Common Stock are as follows:

 

1.             Voting Rights.

 

(a)           Except as may otherwise be required by law, and subject to the provisions of such resolution or resolutions as may be adopted by the Board pursuant to Article IV(B) granting the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock exclusive or special voting powers with respect to any matter (including subsequent amendments to any such series of Preferred Stock so designated), each record holder of Common Stock shall be entitled at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, including action by written consent, with respect to each share of Common Stock held by such holder as of the applicable record date, to one (1) vote per share in person or by proxy on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) 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 voting separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

 



 

(b)           The number of authorized shares of 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 shares of stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

 

2.             Dividends and Distributions.  Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

 

3.             Liquidation Rights.  In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation, if any, shall be divided among and paid ratably to the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

Each director shall have one vote; provided that if (a) there are an even number of directors serving on the Board, and (b) any matter on which a vote of directors is taken would otherwise result in the same number of votes being cast for and against such matter (with any abstentions being counted as vote(s) against), the voting power of the Independent Director (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) shall be one-half of one vote rather than one vote on such matter.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change, waive or repeal any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights, preferences and privileges conferred upon stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and other person in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if any, are granted subject to this reservation.
