Section 4.3. Common Stock.

(a) Voting.

(i) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation.

(ii) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote: (1) the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share and (2) the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes for each such share equal to the number of shares (including fractional shares) of Class A Common Stock into which such share of Class B Common Stock held by such holder would be convertible if converted as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

(iii) Except as otherwise required by law, the shares of Class K Common Stock are non-voting and are not entitled to vote until such time as such Class K Common Stock converts to Class A Common Stock.

(iv) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), prior to the time of the closing of the Corporation’s initial merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”) at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors.

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 or other series of Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, 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) or the DGCL.

(b) Class B Common Stock.

(i) Conversion. All issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall, immediately after the closing of the initial Business Combination, automatically convert into an aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the Pro Forma Outstanding Shares. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into its pro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.3(b). The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Common Stock will be determined as follows: Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock at the time of conversion.

(ii) Voting. Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), for so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the Class B Common Stock. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of Class B Common Stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class B Common Stock were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt written notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the holders of Class B Common Stock shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those holders of Class B Common Stock who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders of Class B Common Stock to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion. Each share of Class K Common Stock that is converting pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall convert into its pro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock that is converting pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) based on the proportion of the number of shares of Class K Common Stock that are then converting by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
