Any stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Class A Common Stock shall from and after the Effective Time be deemed to represent shares of Common Stock into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified and converted, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.

 

2. Preferred Stock. Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) and the filing of a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (a “Preferred Designation”), authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Board. The Board is further authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, including without limitation authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The number of authorized shares of 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 of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, subject to obtaining a vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, if such a vote is required pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Designation).

 

3. Common Stock.

 

(a) Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation. The holders of shares of 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 the Common Stock are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred 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 as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Designation) or pursuant to the Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any other similar, successor provision thereof).

 

(b) Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the holders of the 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.

 

(c) 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 stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

 

 

(d) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

Bylaws

 

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, repeal or otherwise alter the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) without any action on the part of the stockholders. The Bylaws may also be amended, supplemented or repealed by the stockholders at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, the notice for which designates that an amendment, supplement or repeal of one or more of such sections is to be considered, and only by an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote upon such amendment, supplement or repeal, voting as a single class.

 

Article VII

2. Number; Term; Election; Qualification. The number of directors that constitutes the Board shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board in accordance with the Bylaws, and shall consist of not less than three or more than thirteen directors. The Board shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors elected to each class shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board.

Upon the expiration of the initial terms of office for each class of directors, the directors of each class shall be elected for a term of three years to serve until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, except that if any such election shall not be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held in accordance with the DGCL. Each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation, or removal. If the number of directors is hereafter changed, no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

3. Removal and Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, vacancies occurring on the Board for any reason and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled only: (i) prior to the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and (ii) from and after the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time, by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

Article XI

 

Corporate Opportunity

 

The Corporation hereby renounces pursuant to Section 122(17) of the DGCL any interest or expectancy in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity or classes or categories of business opportunities that are presented to any of the Corporation’s non-employee directors or any of their affiliates (together, an “Identified Person”) which may be a corporate opportunity for such Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its affiliates. In the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, shall not be liable to the Company, its affiliates or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder or director of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation does not renounce its interest or expectancy in any corporate opportunity offered to any Identified Person if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Identified Person solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation, and the foregoing provisions of this Article XI shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity. Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the provisions of this Article XI shall have no further force or effect from and after the earlier of such time as (i) TDR Capital LLP (“TDR”) ceases to beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) TDR is not entitled to designate one or more members of the Board in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, by and among the Corporation, TDR and the other parties thereto (as amended from time to time).
