purchase any Securities not purchased by another Investor. The Company and each of the Investors purchasing Common Shares agree that the price per share for each Common Share shall be $7.46. The Company and each of the Investors purchasing Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants agree that the aggregate purchase price to be paid at the Closing in respect of such Securities shall be $9.00 and shall be allocated between the Warrants and the Series A Preferred Shares in such amounts as shall be agreed to prior to the Closing by the Company and the Investors who have committed to purchase hereunder a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares to be issued and shall, in any event, include the OZ Entities (as hereinafter defined)) and the GC Entities (as hereinafter defined) as approving Investors. No party hereto shall take a position inconsistent with this allocation unless otherwise required by Law (as hereinafter defined).

(c) Each Investor set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) hereof has elected to be subject to the provisions of Section 9(l) of the Restated Certificate and Section 3(g) of the Warrants and by executing this Agreement each such Investor hereby acknowledges such election.

1.2 Closings.

(a) The closing of the sale of the Securities (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, Times Square Tower, 7 Times Square, New York, NY 10036, no later than three (3) Business Days after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III (except for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing including the closing of the Merger (as hereinafter defined)) or at such other time and place as the parties shall agree. The date of the Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. “Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a federal legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

(b) On the Closing Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell, and each Investor agrees to purchase in the aggregate, severally and not jointly, the amount of Securities as set forth opposite its name on Annex I hereto and each Investor shall pay its allocable portion of the aggregate purchase price for such Securities set forth opposite its name on Annex I hereto (the “Subscription Amounts”) with each such Investor’s Subscription Amount to be paid by wire transfer to the account as specified in writing by the Company (which will be disbursed from the Escrow Account (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

(c) In the event an Investor (a “Non-Participating Investor”) (i) has breached its obligation to fund its Subscription Amount at the Closing or (ii) elects not to fund its Subscription Amount at the Closing because all conditions to Closing have not been satisfied (and such Investor elects not to waive such applicable closing conditions), then each other Investor which shall elect to fund its Subscription Amount (an “Over Subscription Investor”) may, in its sole discretion, elect to subscribe for and purchase, pro rata, based upon the aggregate Subscription Amounts committed by all such electing Investors, the Securities to have been purchased by the Non-Participating Investor, in exchange for the applicable portion of the Non-Participating Investor’s Subscription Amount. Each Over Subscription Investor so purchasing its full allotment thereof may also purchase its pro rata amount, based upon aggregate Subscription Amounts committed by all such Over Subscription Investors so purchasing their full allotments

thereof, of any Non-Participating Investor Securities not so purchased (the “Over-allotment Option”). In the event, upon exercise of all Over-allotment Options, Over Subscription Investors have not elected to subscribe for and purchase all of the Securities to have been purchased by a Non-Participating Investor (the “Deficit Subscription Amount”), then an additional Person or Persons (each a “Joinder Investor”) not then a party to this Agreement may become, upon the approval of the Requisite Investors, a party to this Agreement as an Investor subscribing for and purchasing any or all of the Securities with respect to such Deficit Subscription Amount; provided, however, that each Joinder Investor be consented to by the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in its reasonable discretion; provided further, however, that the determination of the Company that the addition of a Joinder Investor to this Agreement is not acceptable solely due to the receipt of written legal advice from a nationally recognized law firm that the addition of such Joinder Investor would result in the failure of the issuance of the Securities to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, shall be deemed to be a valid exercise of the Company’s reasonable discretion. Each Joinder Investor shall be required to execute a counterpart to this Agreement, agreeing to be treated as an Investor for all purposes under this Agreement and the Annexes to this Agreement shall be amended and revised, as applicable, to reflect the foregoing. The addition of a Joinder Investor as a party to this Agreement shall in no way relieve or be deemed to provide a remedy or reduction in claims to be made against an Investor that has defaulted on its obligations hereunder.

(d) On or prior to the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, after the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Article III (except for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing including the closing of the Merger (as hereinafter defined)) and after the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in the SB Merger Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (except for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at closing of the Merger), upon delivery to and receipt by the Investors of a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that such applicable conditions have been satisfied, each Investor shall deliver its Subscription Amount, in United States dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the wire instructions provided to such Investor by the Company.

Subject to the provisions of the previous sentence, the Company shall immediately cease and cause its subsidiaries and its and their advisors, agents and other intermediaries to cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Third Party conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing, except to advise such Third Party of the existence of the provisions of this Section, and shall use its best efforts to cause any such parties in possession of confidential information about the Company that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company to return or destroy all such information in the possession of any such Third Party or in the possession of any agent or advisor of any such Third Party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company (either directly or indirectly through advisors, agents or other intermediaries) from (i) following receipt of a bona fide Acquisition Proposal, taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or otherwise making disclosure to its stockholders and/or (ii) taking any action that the Board of the Company shall have concluded in good faith after consultation with outside counsel that such action is required to prevent the Board of the Company from breaching its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable law (it being understood that the Board of the Company may rely on the written advice of its outside counsel in good faith and the Investors agree not to take a contrary position to any such written advice). “Third Party” means any person or Group, other than the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates.

4.2 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Company and each Investor expressly acknowledge that the Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including pursuant to Section 4(2), Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.2(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, a form of which opinion shall have been reasonably agreed to prior to the Closing or promptly thereafter by each of the Company and the Requisite Investors, which form of legal opinion may be used, and shall be accepted, thereafter with respect to all such transfers, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Investor under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.2(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A

TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

(c) The Company and the Investors acknowledge and agree that any Investor may, as permitted by law, from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Investor may, as permitted by law, transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company, provided that, upon the reasonable request of the Company, a legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be obtained. At the Company’s expense, so long as the Securities are subject to the legend required by this Section 4.2, the Company will use its reasonable commercial efforts to execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities. The foregoing does not affect such Investor’s obligations pursuant to Section 4.2(a).

(d) Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.2(b)), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Closing Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder as permitted pursuant to the previous sentence. The Company agrees that following the Closing Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.2(d), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate (in the case of a transfer, in the proper form for transfer) representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Investors by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.

(e) Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Investor will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

4.3 Furnishing of Information.

The Company covenants that it will timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor holding Securities purchased hereunder made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any such Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

4.4 Integration.

The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure, Publicity.

The Company shall, on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fourth (4^th) Business Day following the date hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K, reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Investors, disclosing all such information required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission, including the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall attach the Documents thereto. The Investors shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the Company with prior notice of such public statement or communication. No Investor shall be named in a press release or any other public disclosure or announcement to be issued by another Investor or the Company without the prior written consent of the Investor to be named, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the Investor to be so disclosed with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

4.6 Non-Public Information.

The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees that all material, non-public information provided to the Investors will be publicly disclosed in the preliminary Proxy Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 4.1(e).

4.8 Termination Fee.

Upon receipt of any termination or similar fee under the terms of the SB Merger Agreement, the Company shall pay to each Investor two percent (2%) of such Investor’s Subscription Amount, to the extent that the Company has sufficient funds to pay such amounts after payment of any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in the collection of any such termination fee.

4.9 Reservation of Common Stock.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have reserved and the Company shall thereafter continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Common Shares, Reserved Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

4.10 Equal Treatment of Investors.

No consideration shall be offered or paid to any holder of a class of Securities to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the holders of the same class of Securities. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has not entered into any transaction document or agreement with any other party prior to the Closing Date with respect to the offering of the Company’s securities except as contemplated hereby and except as contemplated by the SB Merger Agreement. The Company has not entered into any transaction document or agreement with any Investor in connection with the purchase by such Investor of its Securities (including by any amendment, supplement or side letter thereto or by any other agreement), containing more favorable terms than as set forth in the Documents.

4.11 Short Sales.

Each Investor acknowledges the Commission’s position, and such Investor will adhere to such position, set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the acknowledgement and adherence obligation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

(c) If the Company fails to list, designate, and/or maintain such listing as set forth in Section 4.13 (a) and/or (b), the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares purchased hereunder shall have the rights set forth in Section 9(e) of the Restated Certificate and Section 4(c) of the Warrants.

(d) If the Company fails to list, and/or maintain such listing as set forth in Section 4.13(a) (each a “Default”), each holder of Common Shares purchased hereunder shall have the right to be issued by the Company, on each ninety (90) day anniversary of the date of the occurrence of the Default (if the applicable Default shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Default is cured with respect to each Common Share so purchased, a fractional share of Common Stock calculated by dividing (x) the decrease in the Conversion Price (as defined in the Restated Certificate) of a Series A Preferred Share as a result of the same Default pursuant to Section 9(e) of Article IV of the Restated Certificate for the same period by (y) $7.46 (subject to equitable adjustment as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reverse split, reclassification or similar event after the Closing Date). The Company and Investors shall treat any shares issued pursuant to this Section 4.13(d) or pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement as an adjustment to the Subscription Amounts of each applicable Investor for Tax purposes and shall file their Returns accordingly, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or change in applicable Law causes any such payment not to be so treated.

(1) For the sake of clarity and by example, in the event a Default has occurred for the first time and continues for six (6) consecutive months, (i) the Conversion Price of a Series A Preferred Share would be decreased by one-percent (1%) of the original $9.00 Conversion Price for the first ninety (90) days so as to be reduced by $0.09 to $8.91, (ii) the Conversion Price of a Series A Preferred Share would be decreased by an additional one-percent (1%) of the $9.00 Conversion Price for the second ninety (90) days so as to be reduced by $0.09 to $8.82, (iii) each holder of a share of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be entitled to receive 0.012064 shares of Common Stock for the first ninety (90) days, and (iv) each holder of a share of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be entitled to receive an additional 0.012064 shares of Common Stock for the second ninety (90) days.

4.14 Redemption of Preferred Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Restated Certificate to the contrary, in the event the Company provides a Redemption Notice (as defined in the Restated Certificate) and the redemption by the Company of the Series A Preferred Shares of a holder thereof pursuant to the terms of the Redemption Notice at such time would cause such holder of Series A Preferred Shares or such holder’s Affiliates (each an “Additional Redemption Holder”) to recognize dividend income pursuant to the Code or the other applicable rules and regulations of any taxing authority (in each case as reasonably determined by the applicable Additional Redemption Holder) then each such Additional Redemption Holder shall not be required in such holder’s sole discretion, subject to the terms of Section 4.14(b), to have all or any portion of its Series A Preferred Shares redeemed in accordance with this provision; provided, that upon delivery of a

Redemption Notice, such Redemption Notice and the Company’s obligation to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares thereunder, shall be irrevocable by the Company (unless waived by such Applicable Redemption Holder) until such redemption shall have been effected pursuant to Section 4.14(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.14(a) to the contrary, at such time as either (x) the Additional Redemption Holder shall have sold sufficient shares of Common Stock, Warrants, Public Warrants or other securities of the Company convertible or exercisable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (“Additional Redeemed Securities”) held by such Additional Redemption Holder, or (y) except to the extent Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and/or the provisions of the HSR Act and/or any other Law concerning competition matters would arise in the same or a similar manner as set forth in Sections 7(c) and 7(d) of the Restated Certificate (the benefit of which may be waived by the affected Additional Redeemed Holder) the Company shall redeem, or a third party purchaser made available by the Company shall purchase, sufficient Additional Redeemed Securities held by such Additional Redemption Holder, in each case, such that such Additional Redemption Holder would not recognize dividend income with respect to the redemption of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares or Additional Redeemed Securities (if any), then, the redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares held as of the date of the Redemption Notice with respect to such Additional Redemption Holder shall be consummated promptly thereafter. The Company shall redeem no more than the minimum number of Additional Redeemed Securities from an Additional Redemption Holder that is necessary to ensure that the Applicable Redeemed Holder would not (as reasonably determined by the Additional Redemption Holder) recognize dividend income with respect to the redemption of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares and Additional Redeemed Securities (if any); provided, however, that the Company shall redeem or any Company provided third party purchaser shall purchase Additional Redeemed Securities on the same terms and conditions and at the same price (with respect to each type of Additional Redeemed Securities determined to be sold by each applicable Additional Redemption Holder) from each Additional Redemption Holder.

(c) The Corporation shall purchase the Additional Redeemed Securities in the following order of priority based upon the type of Additional Redeemed Securities held by the applicable Additional Redemption Holder:

(i) first, shares of Common Stock held by each Applicable Additional Redemption Holder, if any;

(ii) second, if an Additional Redemption Holder has not (as reasonably determined by the Additional Redemption Holder) had sufficient Additional Redeemed Securities redeemed (pursuant to clause (c)(i) above) so as to avoid the recognition of dividend income on the redemption of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares, then repurchase of the warrants issued pursuant to the Public Warrant Agreement held by each applicable Additional Redemption Holder, if any; and

(iii) thereafter, if an Additional Redemption Holder has not (as reasonably determined by the Additional Redemption Holder) had sufficient Additional Redeemed Securities redeemed (pursuant to clauses (c)(i) and (c)(ii) above) so as to avoid the recognition of dividend income on the redemption of such holder’s Series A Preferred Shares, then repurchase of the Warrants held by each applicable Additional Redemption Holder, if any.

(d) Shares of Common Stock held by an applicable Additional Redemption Holder to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.14(a), shall be redeemed or purchased at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) thereof as of the date of consummation of the redemption. Public Warrants held by an applicable Additional Redemption Holder to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.14(a), shall be redeemed or purchased at a price per such Public Warrant equal to the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) thereof as of the date of consummation of the redemption. Warrants issued hereunder and held by an applicable Additional Redemption Holder to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.14(a), shall be redeemed or purchased at a price per such Warrant equal to the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) thereof as of the date of consummation of the redemption.

(e) For purposes of this Section 4.14, the “Fair Market Value” as of a particular date shall be determined as follows: (i) if shares of Common Stock, Public Warrants, Warrants or other Convertible Securities are traded on a securities exchange including the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and NASDAQ Stock Exchange) or through the NASDAQ Global Market or Capital Market or other over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing sales prices of such shares, warrants or other Convertible Securities on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the date of determination of the Fair Market Value; or (ii) if no public market exists for the shares of Common Stock, Public Warrants, Warrants, or other Convertible Securities, the Fair Market Value shall (subject to the applicable Additional Redemption Holders’ right to dispute such valuation as described below) be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that the calculation of the Fair Market Value of a Warrant issued hereunder for purposes of this provision only shall be made using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model which shall assume for purposes of such calculation that the volatility underlying the Common Stock price be an amount that is the greater of (x) the average volatility for the trailing 250 Trading Days from the date of determination, (y) 50%, or (z) the implied volatility of the Public Warrants (if Public Warrants are outstanding and listed for trading as of the date of determination) as calculated by The Bloomberg Professional data services. If the applicable Additional Redemption Holders holding a majority of Series A Preferred Shares which have not waived their rights under this Section 4.14 disagree with the Board of Directors’ determination of the Fair Market Value, such holders may submit a notice of disagreement to the Company. During the three (3) Business Days immediately following the Company’s receipt of such notice, such holders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to determine a mutually agreeable resolution. If the parties remain unable to reach agreement after such period, they shall engage one of the “Big 4” accounting firms reasonably acceptable to each such party to resolve such dispute (the “Valuation Firm”). Each of such holders and the Company shall provide (at each’s own expense) the Valuation Firm with copies of any documents, analyses or other information within its possession or control that the Valuation Firm reasonably requests in order to resolve such dispute. The Valuation Firm shall determine the Fair Market Value as soon as practicable after its engagement to resolve the dispute using customary valuation techniques for other companies or businesses in the same or similar industries as the Company (and shall not apply any discount due to the fact that the Common Stock, Public Warrants or other securities may constitute “restricted securities”, may be illiquid

or represent a minority interest in the Company but shall utilize the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the volatility assumption set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 4.14(e)). The Valuation’s Firm’s determination shall be binding, and not subject to challenge or collateral attack for any reason other than manifest error. The Company shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm in connection with its engagement to resolve such dispute (the “Valuation Cost”); provided, however, that if the Valuation Firm’s determination of the Fair Market Value is in excess of 50% lower than said holders’ proposed Fair Market Value, then the fees and expenses of the Valuation Firm shall be shared (with respect to the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares involved in the dispute, pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership percentages) in the same proportion that the Company’s position, on the one hand, and the holders’ position, on the other hand, initially presented to the Valuation Firm (based on the aggregate of all differences taken as a whole) bear to the final resolution as determined by the Valuation Firm.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Additional Redemption Holder shall be entitled to waive the right to have any Additional Redeemed Securities redeemed by the Company or purchased by any Company provided third party pursuant to this Section 4.14.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

5.1 Survival.

Irrespective of any investigation, inquiry or examination made by, for or on behalf of any Investor, or the acceptance by any Investor of any certificate or opinion, the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing.

5.2 Indemnification.

The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold the Investors and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless against all liability, loss, and damage (including taxes thereon) together with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), relating to or arising from (i) the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in the Documents (regardless of whether such representations, or warranties have terminated or expired pursuant to the SB Merger Agreement) and made or deemed made on, or as of, the Closing Date, (ii) the breach of any covenants or agreements of the Company contained in the Documents, (iii) the execution or delivery of any Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Documents or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including as may be commenced by third parties), whether based in contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto. In the event that any Indemnitee claims any such right of indemnification, such Indemnitee shall provide to the Company written notice thereof, together with reasonable detail regarding such claims and in the event that such claim involves third party claims, allow the Company at its expense to defend such claim(s) on the Indemnitee’s behalf.

5.3 Remedies

In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 4.13).

5.4 Liquidated Damages.

The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Documents (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 4.13) is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been cancelled.

5.5 Trust Assets.

(a) As an inducement to the Company to consider the Investor’s subscription herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Investor hereby agrees that it will not now or at any time prior to the Closing have any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Assets (as defined below) in excess of such portion of the Trust Assets the Company is permitted to access pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated on or about December 16, 2005 (the “Trust Agreement”) whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way directly or indirectly to, the financing contemplated herein and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Claims”); provided, however, that this waiver will be terminated and of no force and effect in the event that the Company consummates a business combination, including the SB Transaction, and the funds held in the Trust are released from being held as Trust Assets.

(b) Each Investor recognizes and understands that as of August 31, 2006 the Company has on deposit approximately $99,543,000 in a trust (the “Trust”) where it has and will accumulate interest (the initial funds plus interest are referred to hereafter as the “Trust Assets”). The Trust Assets are to be held for the exclusive benefit of the Company’s stockholders to the extent set forth in the Trust Agreement and either distributed as part of the consummation of a business combination between the Company and a business entity or entities meeting certain requirements, the payment of federal and state income taxes on the earned interest or returned to the Company’s stockholders. As of July 31, 2006, the Company owned liquid assets of approximately $1,300,000 outside of the Trust which it intends to use for its working capital and other corporate purposes (the “Non-Trust Assets”), it being understood that this Section 5.5 is not intended to apply to, nor restrict access to, the Non-Trust Assets.

(c) In the event that the Investor commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of the financing contemplated herein or in any other way directly or indirectly related to the financing, seeking, in whole or in part, relief against the Trusts Assets, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, in which the Company prevails in whole on all counts as determined by a final adjudicated non-appealable judgment, then the Company shall be entitled to recover from such party(s) who commenced the action or proceeding, the legal fees and associated costs required to defend such action.

ARTICLE VI

TERMINATION

6.1 Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate with respect to an Investor on the earlier of (i) February 16, 2007 (the “Final Termination Date”) if the Closing shall not have occurred prior thereto; provided, however, if as of the Final Termination Date all the closing conditions set forth in Article III have been satisfied (except for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing including the closing of the Merger) but for the fact that the Stockholders Meeting shall not have been held solely due to the fact that the Commission had not as of yet granted approval for, or rejected, the Proxy Statement, then the Company and the Requisite Investors shall discuss in good faith as to whether it is reasonable and practicable to expect Commission approval within a reasonable period of time thereafter, and in the event the Company and the Requisite Investors agree that such approval is reasonably likely within a reasonable period of time thereafter, the Company and such Requisite Investors may, but none of such parties shall be obligated to, agree upon a new Final Termination Date; (ii) if the Company’s stockholders (as required by Law and as required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation) fail to approve the Merger and the issuance of the Securities upon receipt of the Proxy Statement and holding of a valid Stockholder Meeting; (iii) by the Requisite Investors (A) if the preliminary Proxy Statement shall not have been filed with the Commission on or before the tenth (10^th) calendar day after the receipt of the applicable financial information, as set forth in Section 4.1(e) or (B) if the Proxy Statement shall not have been sent to the Company’s stockholders by January 10, 2007; provided, however, in the event final Commission approval of the Proxy Statement has not been received by January 5, 2007 then the Company and the Requisite Investors shall discuss in good faith as to whether it is reasonable and practicable to expect Commission approval within a reasonable period of time thereafter, and in the event the Company and the Requisite Investors agree that such approval is reasonably likely within a reasonable period of time thereafter, the Company and such Requisite Investors may, but none of such parties shall be obligated to, agree upon a new Final Termination Date; (iv) the date that any permanent injunction or other order of a Governmental Authority preventing the Closing shall have become effective or (v) the date of the termination of the SB Merger Agreement (each of the events in clauses (i)-(v), a “Termination Date”); provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to initiate legal action for any breach by the other party (or parties). If the Closing has not occurred as of the Termination Date with respect to an Investor, the Company shall direct the Escrow Agent to return the funds held in the Escrow Account on behalf of such applicable Investor to such Investor (together with interest thereon) pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

6.2 Effect of Termination.

In the event of a termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Investors or the Company or their respective officers, directors or Affiliates after the Termination Date; provided that Section 6.1, this Section 6.2 and Article VII shall survive any such Termination Date; provided further, that nothing herein shall relieve any party for liability for any breach of any pre-Termination Date obligation.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Fees and Expenses.

The Company shall pay all of its expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and shall pay at Closing (to the extent Closing shall have occurred) any and all fees related to filings required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) made as a result of the acquisition of the Securities on the Closing Date or any other Law relating to competition matters up to $45,000 per Investor with respect thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or the Agreement is terminated on a Termination Date. In addition, the Company shall pay, and hold the Investors and their representatives harmless against all liability for the payment of: (i) up to $700,000 of the fees and charges of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, counsel to certain of the Investors, incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred from time to time by the Investors in connection with their monitoring and enforcement of the Company’s performance of and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in the Documents on its part to be performed or complied with, (iii) the reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors) incurred by the Investors in connection with any amendment or waiver of any Document, (iv) any reasonable costs incurred by the Investors in rendering assistance to the Company or any of their subsidiaries at the request of the Company, (it being understood that the Investors are not obligated to render, and may charge additional fees for, such assistance), (v) the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Investors in any filing with any Governmental Authority with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that mentions any Investor or its affiliates, (vi) any stamp or similar taxes which may be determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery and performance of any Document or any modification, amendment or alteration of any Document, and all issue taxes in respect of the issuance of any Securities, Reserved Shares or Warrant Shares (or any other securities issued in respect thereof), and (vii) up to $50,000 of the fees and charges of Goodwin Procter, LLP, counsel to Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., the Company’s placement agent and advisor on the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section are automatically assignable to any Person who acquires any Securities pursuant to Section 7.2. The Company hereby acknowledges that,

in the event a Closing occurs, its obligation to reimburse the Investors for the fees and charges of O’Melveny & Myers LLP and to reimburse the fees and charges of Goodwin Procter, LLP pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be fulfilled at the Closing by permitting the Investors to deduct such fees and charges from the proceeds payable by the Investors to the Company as set forth on Annex I and to wire such amounts directly to O’Melveny & Myers LLP and Goodwin Procter, LLP, as applicable at the Closing.

7.2 Assignment; Parties in Interest.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder. Any Investor may assign any of its rights hereunder; provided, however, that the assignee agrees to be bound by, and entitled to the benefits of, this Agreement as an original party hereto; provided, further, however, assignments by an Investor prior to Closing (other than to its Affiliates) shall require the Company’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the assignee in the Company’s reasonable discretion solely to the extent the Company has received written legal advice from a nationally recognized law firm that the assignment to such assignee would result in the failure of issuance of the Securities hereunder to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

7.3 Entire Agreement; Severability.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such subject matter (including, on the Closing Date, any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into by any of the Investors or their Affiliates with the Company prior to the date hereof, each of which shall be automatically terminated upon the Closing Date (including the provisions thereof that purport to survive the termination thereof)). It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, in the event that any provision of this Agreement would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.4 Notices.

All notices, claims, certificates, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered or if sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier, by telecopy, electronic transmission or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

7.5 Amendments; Waivers.

The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or amended pursuant to an instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Investors, except as otherwise permitted as set forth in Section 1.2(c) with respect to the addition of a Joinder Investor; provided, however, that any modification, amendment or waiver that materially and adversely affects any Investor with respect to the rights or obligations in respect of such Investor’s Series A Preferred Shares or Common Shares purchased hereunder in a manner disproportionate to how it adversely affects the rights or obligations in respect of such Securities of other Investors purchased hereunder shall not be effective without the prior written consent of such holder; provided further, however, that the conditions precedent to Closing as set forth in

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall not be amended or waived with respect to any particular Investor without the prior written consent of such Investor. In addition, the terms and provisions of each of the Warrants may be modified, amended, or waived pursuant to an instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Investors; provided, however, that any modification, amendment or waiver that materially and adversely affects any holder of a Warrant with respect to the rights or obligations in respect of such holder’s Warrants in a manner disproportionate to how it materially and adversely affects the rights or obligations of the other holders in respect of their other Warrants shall not be effective without the prior written consent of such holder. Any waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement requested by any party hereto must be granted in advance, in writing, by the Company (if an Investor is requesting such waiver) or by the Requisite Investors (if the Company is requesting such waiver), as the case may be, provided that any amendment that increases the Subscription Amount of any Investor shall require consent of such Investor.

7.6 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

7.7 Headings.

The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

7.8 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any law or rule that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.

ANY PROCEEDING AGAINST THE PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT AND ENFORCED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, TO THE EXTENT SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION EXISTS THEREFOR, AND THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF BOTH SUCH COURTS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN ANY INCONVENIENT FORUM. ANY JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

7.9 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights

The obligations of each Investor under any Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Investors with the same terms and Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Investors.

The board of directors of the Corporation shall be elected in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation. The number of directors shall be not less than two (2) nor more than ten (10). The number of directors may be changed from time to time within this range in such manner as shall be provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

Section 2. Initial Directors. The initial Board of Directors of this Corporation shall consist of two (2) members, but the number may be increased or decreased in the manner provided in the Bylaws of this Corporation; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws of this Corporation, or except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall not be changed without the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 and 2/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As used in this Certificate of lncorporation, the term “entire board” means the total number of directors that the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies or unfilled newly created directorships. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot except and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation. The names and addresses of the persons who are to serve as the initial directors of the Corporation upon the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation are:

		Longmont, Colorado 80503

Section 3. Removal and Filling of Newly Created Directorships. Any one or more directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock that are present or represented at a special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting together as a single class. At the same meeting at which the stockholders remove one or more directors, a successor or successors may be elected for the unexpired term of the director or directors removed. Except as set forth in this Article VI (3), directors shall not be subject to removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect directors of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions contained in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for the establishment of any such series, any such director of the Corporation so elected may be removed only in accordance with the provisions of such resolution or resolutions. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the Board by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, or by the stockholders holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock that are present or represented at a special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting together as a single class.

Section 4. Election and Vacancies. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, and each director elected shall hold office until such director’s successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to earlier death, resignation or removal from office. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause shall be filled by the Board by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director, or by the stockholders holding at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66²/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock that are present or represented at a special meeting of stockholders called for such purpose, voting together as a single class.

Section 5. Advance Notice of Nominations. Subject to Article XIII of this Certificate of Incorporation, advance notice of nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

Section 6. Payment of Expenses. In addition to any other rights of indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, or as may be provided for by the Corporation in this Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws or by agreement, the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, involving alleged acts or omissions of such officer or director in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation, must be paid, by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

Section 7. Classification of Directors. Upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of securities of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall divide itself into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with respect to the time for which the directors shall severally hold office. Directors of the first class first chosen shall initially hold office for one year or until the first annual election following their election; directors of the second class first chosen shall initially hold office for two years or until the second annual election following their election; and directors of the third class first chosen shall initially hold office for three years or until the third annual election following their election; and, in each case, until their successors to the class of directors whose term shall expire at that time shall be elected to hold office for a term of three years, so that the term of office of one class of directors shall expire in each year. Each director elected shall hold office until his successor shall be elected and shall qualify.

ARTICLE VII

BYLAWS

The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt, amend or repeal any and all provisions of the Bylaws of the Corporation by a vote of at least two-thirds of all directors who constitute the Board of Directors, except as and to the extent provided in the Bylaws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of this Corporation (and notwithstanding that some lesser percentage may be specified by law), no provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation shall be amended, modified or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation, nor shall any provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation inconsistent with any such provision be adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation, unless approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least seventy-five (75%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Any purported amendment to the Bylaws which would add thereto a matter not expressly covered in the Bylaws prior to such purported amendment shall be deemed to constitute the adoption of a Bylaw provision and not an amendment to the Bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII

MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT OR REPEAL OF DESIGNATED PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or as provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote (or consent under Article XIII, if such consent is then permitted) of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the modification, amendment or repeal of all or any portion of Articles IV, VI, VII, this Article VIII, IX, X, XI, XII or XIII of this Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, incorporator, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan), shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation to the full extent then permitted by the DGCL as it exists or as it may hereafter be amended against expenses (including counsel and expert witness fees and disbursements), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Such right of indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters which antedate the adoption of this Article IX. Such right of indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person. The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided now or in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted in this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, by any agreement, by vote of stockholders, by resolution of disinterested directors, by provision of law or otherwise.

ARTICLE X

MONETARY DAMAGES

No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that this provision does not eliminate the liability of the director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. For purposes of the prior sentence, the term “damages” shall, to the extent permitted by law, include, without limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in settlement, penalty, punitive damages, excise or other tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense of any nature (including, without limitation, counsel and expert witness fees and disbursements). Each person who serves as a director of the Corporation while this Article X is in effect shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance on the provisions of this Article X, and neither the amendment or repeal of this Article X, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article X, shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or the Corporation for, arising out of, based upon or in connection with any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent

provision. The provisions of this Article X are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of any and all other limitations on or eliminations of the liabilities of directors of the Corporation, as such, whether such limitations or eliminations arise under or are created by any law, rule, regulation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. If the DGCL is amended 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, without any further amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE XI

COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT

Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

ARTICLE XII

PROVISIONS RELATING TO BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The following provisions (i) through (iv) of this Article XII shall apply during the period commencing upon the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation and terminating upon the consummation of any Business Combination (as hereinafter defined) and may not be amended prior to the consummation of any Business Combination. A “Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Corporation, whether by merger, stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition or similar type of transaction, or a combination of the foregoing, of one or more operating businesses that are in the food or beverage business (each a “Target Business”).

(i) Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Corporation shall submit such Business Combination to its stockholders for approval regardless of whether the Business Combination is of a type which normally would require such stockholder approval under the DGCL. In the event that a majority of the IPO Shares (defined below) cast at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the Corporation shall be authorized to consummate the Business Combination; provided that the Corporation shall not consummate any Business Combination if 20%, or more in interest of the holders of IPO Shares exercise their conversion rights described in subparagraph (ii) below.

(ii) In the event that a Business Combination is approved in accordance with the above paragraph (i) and is consummated by the Corporation, any stockholder of the Corporation holding shares of Common Stock (“IPO Shares”) issued in the Corporation’s initial public offering (“IPO”) of securities who voted against the Business Combination may, contemporaneous with such vote, demand that the Corporation convert his, her or its IPO Shares into cash. If so demanded, the Corporation shall convert such shares at a per share conversion price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the amount in the Trust Fund (as defined below), inclusive of any interest thereon, calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Business Combination, by (ii) the total number of IPO Shares.

“Trust Fund” shall mean the trust account established by the Corporation at the consummation of its IPO and into which a designated portion of the net proceeds of the IPO are deposited.

(iii) In the event that the Corporation does not consummate a Business Combination with one or more Target Businesses by the later of (1) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO or (2) 24 months after the consummation of the IPO in the event that either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a Business Combination with one or more Target Businesses was executed but was not consummated within such 18 month period (such later date being referred to as the “Termination Date”), the officers of the Corporation shall take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the Corporation is so dissolved and liquidated, only the holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions and the Corporation shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

(iv) A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation of the Corporation in accordance with subparagraph (iii) above or in the event he, she or it demands conversion of his, hers, or its IPO Shares in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above. In no other circumstances shall a holder of IPO Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE XIII

ACTION BY CONSENT

Effective upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Common Stock of the Corporation and notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of this Corporation, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary specified by law, no action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of this Corporation may be taken without such a meeting, and the power of stockholders of this Corporation to consent in writing to the taking of such action without a meeting, as contemplated by Section 228 of the DGCL, is hereby specifically denied.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I made, signed and sealed this Certificate of Incorporation this 31st day of May, 2005.

ARTICLE I — CORPORATE OFFICES

1.1 REGISTERED OFFICE.

The registered office of Boulder Specialty Brands, Inc. shall be fixed in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (as so amended and/or restated, the “Certificate”).

1.2 OTHER OFFICES.

The corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.

ARTICLE II — MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware as designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation’s principal executive office.

2.2 ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the Board. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.

2.3 SPECIAL MEETING.

Unless otherwise required by law or the Certificate, special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time, for any purpose or purposes, only by (a) the Board, (b) the Chairperson of the Board, or (c) the chief executive officer.

No business may be transacted at such special meeting other than the business specified in the notice to stockholders of such meeting.

2.4 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS.

All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with either Section 2.5 or Section 8.1 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise required by applicable law. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Any previously scheduled meeting of stockholders may be postponed, and, unless the Certificate provides otherwise, any special meeting of the stockholders may be cancelled by resolution duly adopted by a majority of the Board members then in office upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders.

Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate or these bylaws, to any stockholder to whom (A) notice of two (2) consecutive annual meetings, or (B) all, and at least two (2), payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12 month period, have been mailed addressed to such person at such person’s address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to such person shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person shall deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth such person’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such person shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL.

The exception in subsection (A) of the above paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.

Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given:

(a) if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the corporation’s records;

(b) if electronically transmitted, as provided in Section 8.1 of these bylaws; or

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Notice may be waived in accordance with Section 7.12 of these bylaws.

2.6 QUORUM.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate or required by law, stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the corporation, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. If such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then the chairperson of the meeting, or the stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the capital stock at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum unless the number of stockholders who withdrew does not permit action to be taken by the stockholders in accordance with DGCL.

2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place if any thereof, and the means of remote communications if any by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the continuation of the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 of these bylaws.

2.8 ADMINISTRATION OF THE MEETING.

Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chief executive officer of the corporation. If the chief executive officer will not be present at a meeting of stockholders, such meeting shall be presided over by such chairperson as the Board shall appoint, or, in the event that the Board shall fail to make such appointment, any officer of the corporation elected by the Board. The secretary of the meeting shall be the secretary of the corporation, or, in the absence of the secretary of the corporation, such person as the chairperson of the meeting appoints.

The Board shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one (1) or more inspector(s), who may include individual(s) who serve the corporation in other capacities, including without limitation as officers, employees or agents, to act at the meeting of stockholders and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one (1) or more persons as alternate inspector(s) to replace any inspector, who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint one (1) or more inspector(s) to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector(s) or alternate(s) shall have the duties prescribed pursuant to Section 231 of the DGCL or other applicable law.

The Board shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient to the extent not inconsistent with law, the corporation’s Certificate or these Bylaws, as they are in effect from time to time. Subject to such rules and regulations, if any, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including without limitation establishing an agenda of business of the meeting, rules or regulations to maintain order, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for commencement thereof and the fixing of the date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting (and shall announce such at the meeting). In the absence of any rule of procedure adopted by the Board, the chairperson shall make all decisions regarding procedures to be followed in any meeting.

2.9 VOTING.

The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.

Except as otherwise provided in the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL (relating to the fixing of a date for determination of stockholders of record), each stockholder shall be entitled to that number of votes for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder as set forth in the Certificate.

In all matters, other than the election of directors and except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate or these bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

The stockholders of the corporation shall not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of directors of the corporation.

2.10 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.

Notwithstanding any statutory provision to the contrary, the shareholders shall have no power or authority to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting unless expressly permitted to do so by the Certificate.

2.11 RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS.

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and which shall not be more than 60 nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other such action.

If the Board does not fix a record date in accordance with these bylaws and applicable law:

(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is necessary, shall be the first day on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation.

(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

2.12 PROXIES.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law and filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A stockholder may also authorize another person or persons to act for him, her or it as proxy in the manner(s) provided under Section 212(c) of the DGCL or as otherwise provided under Delaware law. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

2.13 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the corporation’s principal place of business.

In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

2.14 ADVANCE NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS.

Only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before a meeting of the stockholders of the corporation. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL that has been properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.14 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.14. For such business to be considered properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder such stockholder must, in addition to any other applicable requirements, have given timely notice in proper form of such stockholder’s intent to bring such business before such meeting. To be timely, such stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 90^th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day, prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall be in writing and shall set forth:

(a) the name and record address of the stockholder who intends to propose the business and the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder;

(b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to introduce the business specified in the notice;

(c) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting;

(d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; and

(e) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholder’s meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by, and otherwise comply with the requirements of, the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.14. The chairperson of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the proposal of any business not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

2.15 ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS.

Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the corporation. To be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, or any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, nominations for the election of director must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) made by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (c) made by any stockholder of the corporation (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.15 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.15.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation, in the case of an annual meeting, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.14 of these bylaws, and, in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth:

(a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by the person, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder, and (v) any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including without limitation such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and

(b) as to such stockholder giving notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 2.14 of these bylaws.

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.15. If the chairperson of the meeting properly determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairperson shall declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded.

ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS

3.1 POWERS.

Subject to the provisions of the DGCL and any limitations in the Certificate, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board.

3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS.

The authorized number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board, provided the Board shall consist of at least one member. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.

3.3 ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS.

Except as provided in Section 3.4 and Section 3.13 of these bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate or these bylaws. The Certificate or these bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

All elections of directors shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate. If authorized by the Board, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must be either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized.

3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES.

Any director may resign at any time upon written notice or by electronic transmission to the corporation.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, or any vacancies on the Board resulting from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall, unless otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director. When one or more directors resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this Section 3.4 in the filling of other vacancies.

Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairperson of the Board, the chief executive officer, the president, the secretary or a majority of the authorized number of directors.

Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be:

(a) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone;

The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate or these bylaws.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting solely for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate or these bylaws.

3.10 BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

No contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to his, her or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum, or (ii) the material facts as to his, her or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders, or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

5.7 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF OFFICERS.

In addition to the foregoing authority and duties, all officers of the corporation shall respectively have such authority and perform such duties in the management of the business of the corporation as may be designated from time to time by the Board.

ARTICLE VI — RECORDS AND REPORTS

6.1 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF RECORDS.

The corporation shall, either at its principal executive office or at such place or places as designated by the Board, keep a record of its stockholders listing their names and addresses and the number and class of shares held by each stockholder, a copy of these bylaws, as may be amended to date, minute books, accounting books and other records.

Any such records maintained by the corporation may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL. When records are kept in such manner, a clearly legible paper form produced from or by means of the information storage device or method shall be admissible in evidence, and accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as an original paper form accurately portrays the record.

Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal executive office.

6.2 INSPECTION BY DIRECTORS.

Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director.

ARTICLE VII — GENERAL MATTERS

From time to time, the Board shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.

7.2 EXECUTION OF CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS.

Except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, the Board, or any officers of the corporation authorized thereby, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

7.3 STOCK CERTIFICATES; PARTLY PAID SHARES.

The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairperson or vice-chairperson of the Board, or the president or vice-president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, and upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

7.4 SPECIAL DESIGNATION ON CERTIFICATES.

If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

7.5 LOST CERTIFICATES.

Except as provided in this Section 7.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

7.6 DIVIDENDS.

The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (a) the DGCL or (b) the Certificate, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

7.7 FISCAL YEAR.

The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

7.8 SEAL.

The corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board. The corporation may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

7.9 TRANSFER OF STOCK.

Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the transfer books of the corporation kept at an office of the corporation or by transfer agents designated to transfer shares of the stock of the corporation. Except where a certificate is issued in accordance with Section 7.5 of these bylaws, an outstanding certificate for the number of shares involved shall be surrendered for cancellation before a new certificate is issued therefore. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books.

7.10 STOCK TRANSFER AGREEMENTS.

The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes or series owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

7.11 REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS.

The corporation:

(a) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner;

(b) shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments on partly paid shares the person registered on its books as the owner of shares; and

(c) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

7.12 WAIVER OF NOTICE.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting solely for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate or these bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII — NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

8.1 NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

(a) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent; and

(b) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 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 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.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

8.2 DEFINITION OF ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION.

An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

8.3 INAPPLICABILITY.

Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply to Section 164 (relating to failure to pay for stock; remedies), Section 296 (relating to adjudication of claims; appeal), Section 311 (relating to revocation of voluntary dissolution), Section 312 (relating to renewal, revival, extension and restoration of certificate of incorporation) or Section 324 (relating to attachment of shares of stock or any option, right or interest therein) of the DGCL.

ARTICLE IX — INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

9.1 POWER TO INDEMNIFY IN ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS OTHER THAN THOSE BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.

Subject to Section 9.3 of these bylaws, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person (or the legal representative of such person) is or was a director or officer of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’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 the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

9.2 POWER TO INDEMNIFY IN ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.

Subject to Section 9.3 of these bylaws, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person (or the legal representative of such person) is or was a director or officer of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

9.3 AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION.

Any indemnification under this Article IX (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of these bylaws, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is either a director or officer at the time of such determination or a former director or officer, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders (but only if a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, if they constitute a quorum of the board of directors, presents the issue of entitlement to indemnification to the stockholders for their determination). To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

9.4 GOOD FAITH DEFINED.

For purposes of any determination under Section 9.3 of these bylaws, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 9.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.2 of these bylaws, as the case may be.

9.5 INDEMNIFICATION BY A COURT.

Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3 of this Article IX, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 of these bylaws. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that

indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of these bylaws, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3 of these bylaws nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be given to the corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

9.6 EXPENSES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE.

To the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, or by any other applicable law, expenses incurred by a person who is or was a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advance of expenses incurred by any person in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity) shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article IX.

9.7 NONEXCLUSIVITY OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate, any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 of these bylaws shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article IX shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of these bylaws but whom the corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL, or by any other applicable law.

9.8 INSURANCE.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.

9.9 CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.

For purposes of this Article IX, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate

existence had continued. For purposes of this Article IX, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Article IX.

9.10 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article IX shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and other personal and legal representatives of such a person.
