Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be considered a Transfer of Capital Stock by a Diller Party:

2.              Transfer of Class C Common Stock.

 

(a)         Any person who is or becomes a Diller Party shall not Transfer any shares of Class C Common Stock if, immediately following such Transfer, the Diller Parties would then, in the aggregate, be the sole beneficial owners (without duplication) of a number of shares of Class C Common Stock in an amount less than the Minimum Class C Number.

 

(b)         In the event that a Transfer of Class C Common Stock by a Diller Party would result in the Diller Parties no longer being the sole beneficial owners (without duplication), in the aggregate, of a number of shares of Class C Common Stock at least equivalent to the Minimum Class C Number, the Diller Parties shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) business days following such Transfer) (i) transfer all voting and dispositive power in respect of shares of Class B Common Stock to one or more Unrelated Third Parties, (ii) acquire shares of Class C Common Stock, and/or (iii) send the Company an irrevocable notice authorizing the Company to convert shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock (with the determination of which of the actions described in clauses (i) through (iii) are to be taken to be within the Diller Parties’ sole discretion) such that, immediately after taking such actions, the Diller Parties are the sole beneficial owners (without duplication), in the aggregate, of a number of shares of Class C Common Stock at least equal to the Minimum Class C Number.

 

(c)          The Company may from time to time require the Diller Parties to provide information regarding their beneficial ownership of shares of Class C Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to confirm that the Diller Parties are in compliance with Sections 2(a) and (b) of this Agreement. In the event that the Company determines that the Diller Parties are not, in the aggregate, the sole beneficial owners (without duplication) of shares of Class C Common Stock at least equivalent to the Minimum Class C Number, the Company shall notify the Diller Parties in writing and the Diller Parties shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days after receipt of notice) take one or more of the actions specified in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2(b) (with the determination of which actions are to be taken to be within the Diller Parties’ sole discretion) in order to be in compliance with Sections 2(a) and (b).

 

(d)         Except as set forth in this Section 2 and Section 4, this Agreement shall not limit or restrict any Diller Party’s ability to Transfer any shares of Capital Stock.

 

3.              Suspension of Class C Common Stock Issuance.  If, at any time, Mr. Diller, his Family Members and his Family Entities cease to be the sole beneficial owners, in the aggregate, of at least twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities (which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Common Stock) (an “Issuance Suspension Event”), the Company agrees that it shall not thereafter issue or agree to issue any new shares of Class C Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class C Common Stock without the prior approval of the Board upon the recommendation of a Capital Stock Committee (as defined in Section 4(a)(v) below). An Issuance Suspension Event shall not affect the Company’s obligations to issue shares of Class C Common Stock (or securities exercisable for, exchangeable for, or convertible into shares of Class C Common Stock) in

connection with previously outstanding or agreed issuances upon the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of an Issuance Suspension Event or pursuant to other contractual obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries in existence immediately prior to the occurrence of an Issuance Suspension Event.

 

4.              Covered Transaction and Equal Treatment.

 

(a)         Neither the Company nor any Diller Party shall enter into, or consummate, a Covered Transaction, unless such Covered Transaction includes the same consideration (in type and amount) or mix of consideration (in type and amount), as the case may be, or an offer to deliver the same consideration (in type and amount) or mix of consideration (in type and amount), to all holders of shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock; provided, however, the holders of shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock may receive or be offered to receive different consideration (in type and amount) to the extent and in the circumstances described below:

 

(i)            in a bona fide share-for-share exchange, merger, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company and a Third Party, where the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such transaction, continue to hold, immediately following such transaction, shares of capital stock of the successor or resulting entity in substantially the same relative proportions to their ownership of the Company’s Capital Stock immediately prior to such transaction and the three-class capital structure and pro rata economics of the three classes of Capital Stock are substantially replicated and, if upon consummation of such transaction the Diller Parties would beneficially own securities of the surviving parent entity representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the total voting power of such entity’s outstanding voting securities, the Diller Parties shall have agreed in writing that the provisions of this Agreement continue to apply to the securities received by the Diller Parties in such transaction (a “Permitted Reorganization”);

 

(ii)         in a transaction in which the receipt by the holders of shares of Common Stock of consideration (in type and amount) that is different than the consideration (in type and amount) received by the holders of every other class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than pursuant to a Permitted Reorganization) has been approved by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock;

 

(iii)      in a transaction in which the receipt by the holders of shares of Class C Common Stock of consideration (in type and amount) that is different than the consideration (in type and amount) received by the holders of every other class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than pursuant to a Permitted Reorganization) has been approved by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock;

 

(iv)      in a transaction in which the holders of shares of Common Stock and Class C Common Stock receive consideration (in type and amount) that does not differ in any respect other than the relative voting rights, with holders of shares of Common Stock receiving consideration (in type and amount) having higher relative voting rights and the holders of shares of Class C Common Stock receiving consideration (in type and amount) having lesser relative voting rights (or none) but which consideration (in type and amount) is different from the consideration (in type and amount) received by the holders of Class B Common Stock and such receipt has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, voting together as a single class; or

 

6



 

(v)         in any transaction in which the difference in consideration (in type and amount) between or among any of the classes of the Company’s Capital Stock has been approved by the Board pursuant to a recommendation of a committee of the Board consisting of a majority of the Independent Directors who are also Disinterested Directors with respect to the transaction (a “Capital Stock Committee”).

 

(b)         In any proposed Covered Transaction in which the holders of shares of Common Stock or Class C Common Stock are to receive different consideration (in type and amount) than that to be received by the holders of shares of any other class or classes of Capital Stock (other than pursuant to a Permitted Reorganization), the Company shall provide advance notice of the proposed transaction to the Board, which shall form a Capital Stock Committee. The Capital Stock Committee shall have the right, on behalf of the Board, to participate in any discussions and negotiations regarding, and to recommend approval (or rejection) of, the proposed transaction, and the Board shall not approve any such transaction not recommended by the Capital Stock Committee.

 

(c)          No Diller Party shall request or seek any waiver, amendment, modification, termination or repeal of this Section 4. Without limiting the rights of the Company under Section 11(e), the provisions of this Section 4(c) shall be specifically enforceable by the Company.

 

(d)         The rights and obligations contained in this Section 4 shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

 

5.              Registration Rights.

 

(a)         Mr. Diller shall be entitled to customary registration rights relating to (i) Common Stock beneficially owned by him as of the date of the Governance Agreement or acquired from the Company (including upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock pursuant to Article IV, Section D(2) of the Amended and Restated Certificate and upon the vesting or exercise of Company-issued equity awards and upon conversion of the Class C Common Stock pursuant to Article IV, Section D(4) of the Amended and Restated Certificate) thereafter and (ii) Class C Common Stock acquired from the Company in connection with the Class C Common Stock Dividend or in the future (including upon the vesting or exercise of Company-issued equity awards), including the ability to transfer registration rights as set forth below in connection with the sale or other disposition of Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock.

 

(b)         If requested by Mr. Diller, the Company shall be required promptly to cause the Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock owned by Mr. Diller, Family Members and/or Family Entities to be registered under the Securities Act in order to permit Mr. Diller or such Family Member or Family Entity to sell such shares in one or more (but not more than three) registered public offerings (each, a “Demand Registration”). Mr. Diller shall also be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. If the amount of shares sought to be registered by Mr. Diller and his Family Member and/or Family Entity pursuant to any Demand Registration is reduced by more than twenty-five percent (25%) pursuant to any underwriters’ cutback, then Mr. Diller may elect to request the Company to withdraw such registration, in which case such registration shall not count as one of Mr. Diller’s Demand Registrations. If Mr. Diller requests that any Demand Registration be an underwritten offering, then Mr. Diller shall select the underwriter(s) to administer the offering, provided that such underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises Mr. Diller in writing that in its opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the Company will include in such registration, first, the securities of Mr. Diller (including those of Family Members and/or

 

7



 

Family Entities), and, thereafter, any securities to be sold for the account of others who are participating in such registration (as determined on a fair and equitable basis by the Company). In connection with any Demand Registration or inclusion of Mr. Diller’s or his Family Member and/or Family Entity’s shares in a piggyback registration, the Company, Mr. Diller and/or his Family Member and/or Family Entity shall enter into an agreement containing terms (including representations, covenants and indemnities by the Company and Mr. Diller), and shall be subject to limitations, conditions, and blackout periods, customary for a secondary offering by a selling stockholder. The costs of the registration (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions) shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall not be required to register such shares if Mr. Diller, his Family Member and/or Family Entity would be permitted to sell Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock in the quantities proposed to be sold at such time in one transaction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or under another comparable exemption therefrom.

 

(c)          If the Company and Mr. Diller cannot agree as to what constitutes customary terms within ten (10) calendar days of Mr. Diller’s request for registration (whether in a Demand Registration or a piggyback registration), then such determination shall be made by a law firm of national reputation, mutually acceptable to the Company and Mr. Diller.

 

(d)         If an Unrelated Third Party shall acquire beneficial ownership of more than five percent (5%) of the Total Equity Securities upon consummation of any Transfer or series of related Transfers from Mr. Diller, his Family Members or Family Entities, to the extent Mr. Diller assigns such right in connection with such Transfer, such Unrelated Third Party shall have the right to initiate one or more Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 5 or any registration rights agreement that replaces or superseded this Section 5 (and shall be entitled to such other rights that Mr. Diller would have applicable to such Demand Registration), subject to the obligations of Mr. Diller applicable to such demand (and the number of Demand Registrations to which Mr. Diller is entitled under this Section 5 shall be correspondingly decreased).

 

(e)          This Section 5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement following the occurrence of the Effective Date.

 

6.              Administration of this Agreement.  The Company shall establish, from time to time, such policies and procedures relating to the general administration of the terms of this Agreement and any Transfers of Capital Stock hereunder, as it may deem necessary or advisable consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Amended and Restated Certificate, and shall deliver notice to the Diller Parties of the restrictions placed on their shares of Capital Stock by this Agreement and by the Amended and Restated Certificate in accordance with Sections 151(f) and 202(a) of the DGCL.

 

7.              Inconsistent Agreements.  Each of the Company and each Diller Party agree that it has not entered into, and will not enter into, any agreement, understanding or arrangement that is inconsistent with this Agreement or that would preclude the Company or any Diller Party from complying with its obligations under this Agreement.

 

8.              Scope of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall not in any way constitute an amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any right, preference, privilege, term or provision set forth or contained in the Amended and Restated Certificate.

 

9.              Effective Date; Termination.

 

(a)         This Agreement shall be effective only as of and after the date on which the Class C Common Stock Dividend is delivered or paid to stockholders of the Company (the “Effective Date”).

 

8



 

(b)         Except as set forth in Sections 9(c) and 9(d), this Agreement may be terminated only by a written instrument that has been executed by each of the Diller Parties and the Company and that has been approved by the Board upon the recommendation of a Capital Stock Committee.

 

(c)          This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to any Diller Party that no longer holds any shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock upon the written request of any such Diller Party to the Company (but shall be reinstituted as to such Diller Party if at any time thereafter while this Agreement remains in effect it becomes the holder of any shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock).

 

(d)         This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, automatically and without any action being required of any party hereto, upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate); provided, that this Section 9(d) and Sections 5, 10 and 11 shall survive such termination.

 

10.       Amendment and Waiver.

 

(a)         This Agreement or any of its provisions may be waived, amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument (i) that has been executed by Mr. Diller, or, following Mr. Diller’s death or legal incapacity, by the Diller Parties owning in the aggregate a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock collectively owned by all of the Diller Parties at such time, and (ii) that has been approved by a Capital Stock Committee and executed on behalf of the Company; provided, however, with respect to any amendment of this Agreement that amends, alters, changes or repeals the rights of the Common Stock or the Class C Common Stock under Section 4, the Company shall obtain the Required Stockholder Approval (as defined below) prior to executing any such written instrument.

 

(b)         For purposes of this Section 10, the “Required Stockholder Approval” means (i) with respect to any amendment that amends, alters, changes or repeals the rights of the Common Stock under Section 4, the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) with respect to any amendment that amends, alters, changes or repeals the rights of the Class C Common Stock under Section 4, the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Class C Common Stock; or (iii) with respect to any amendment described in clauses (i) and (ii) that impacts the shares of Common Stock and Class C Common Stock equally and ratably, the approval of the holders of Common Stock and Class C Common Stock voting together as a single class.

 

(c)          Any failure of any party hereto to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument that has been signed by the party granting such waiver and that, in the case of the Company, has been approved by a Capital Stock Committee. No delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

(b)         Successors and Assigns.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by the Company, on the one hand, or by any Diller Party, on the other hand, without the prior written consent of Mr. Diller or the Company upon the approval of a Capital Stock Committee, respectively, and any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable; provided, however, that the Company may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor entity in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination transaction, so long as it is not the purpose of such merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination transaction to avoid the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(c)          Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, negotiation, validity, enforceability or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws which would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court

 

10



 

does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if subject matter jurisdiction is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States of America, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and any appellate court therefrom, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any action or proceeding brought by, in the right of or on behalf of the Company (including any derivative action or proceeding), or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court; (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court; and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11(a). Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(d)         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

 

(e)          Specific Performance.  The Company, Mr. Diller and the other Diller Parties each acknowledges and agrees that the parties’ respective remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement, in addition to any remedies at law, the other parties hereto, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

 

(f)           Entire Agreement; Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the Company and the Diller Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. Effective upon the Effective Date, the Governance Agreement shall terminate and shall be superseded by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, until the occurrence of the Effective Date, the Governance Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Company shall reimburse the Diller Parties for their reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the transactions described in this Agreement.

 

(g)          Adjustment of Share Numbers and Prices.  If, (i) after the Effective Date, there is a subdivision, split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event with respect to

 

11



 

any of the shares of Capital Stock or (ii) the Class C Common Stock Dividend is declared on a basis other than one share of Class B Common Stock for each share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, then, in any such event, the numbers and types of shares of such Capital Stock referred to in this Agreement and, if applicable, the prices of such shares, shall be adjusted to the number and types of shares of such Capital Stock that a holder of such number of shares of such Capital Stock would own or be entitled to receive as a result of such event if such holder had held such number of shares immediately prior to the record date for, or effectiveness of, such event and the prices for such shares shall be similarly adjusted.

 

(h)         Interpretation.  References in this Agreement to Sections shall be deemed to be references to Sections of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of such agreement or instrument.

 

(i)             Headings.  The titles of Sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be interpreted to limit or otherwise affect the provisions of this Agreement.

3.             This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) and by the Corporation’s stockholders in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further amends and restates the provisions of the Corporation’s First Restated Certificate of Incorporation as heretofore amended or supplemented.

ARTICLE III

 

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

 



 

ARTICLE IV

 

The Corporation shall have the authority to issue one billion six hundred million (1,600,000,000) shares of $0.001 par value Common Stock, four hundred million (400,000,000) shares of $0.001 par value Class B Common Stock, 600,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value Class C Common Stock (together with the Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, the “Capital Stock”), and one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of $0.01 par value Preferred Stock.

 

A statement of the designations of each class and the powers, preferences and rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof is as follows:

 

A.                                    COMMON STOCK

 

(1)           The holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, share for share with the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, such dividends if, as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

(2)           In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, share for share with the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, all the assets of the Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to Stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock have been satisfied.

 

(3)           Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote one vote for each share of Common Stock held as of the applicable date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or to the consent of the Stockholders of the Corporation.  Except as otherwise provided herein or by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall at all times vote on all matters (including the election of directors) together as one class.

 

B.                                    CLASS B COMMON STOCK

 

(1)           The holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, share for share with the holders of shares of Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, such dividends if, as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

(2)           In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, share for share with the holders of shares of Common Stock, all the assets of the Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to Stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock have been satisfied.

 

(3)           Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to vote ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held as of the applicable date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or to the consent of the Stockholders of the Corporation.  Except as otherwise provided herein or by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,

 

2



 

the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall at all times vote on all matters (including the election of directors) together as one class.

 

C.                                    CLASS C COMMON STOCK

 

(1)           The holders of the Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, share for share with the holders of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, such dividends if, as and when declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

(2)           Except with respect to the separate voting rights provided under the express circumstances described in Article XI or as provided by law, each holder of Class C Common Stock in such holder’s capacity as a holder of Class C Common Stock shall (a) have no voting rights or power and shall not be counted for purposes of a quorum or otherwise in connection with any matter as to which such holders have no voting rights, (b) be entitled to notice of any Stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation and (c) not be entitled to vote on any matter that is submitted to a vote or the consent of the Stockholders of the Corporation.

 

(3)           Pursuant to subsection 242(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the number of authorized shares of Class C Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation entitled to vote irrespective of such subsection.

 

D.                                    OTHER MATTERS AFFECTING HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK, CLASS B COMMON STOCK AND CLASS C COMMON STOCK

 

(1)           In no event shall any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock unless the shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

 

(2)           Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation at the option of the holder thereof at any time on a share for share basis.  Such conversion ratio shall in all events be equitably preserved in the event of any recapitalization of the Corporation by means of a stock dividend on, or a stock split or combination of, outstanding Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or in the event of any merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Corporation with another corporation.

 

(3)           Upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock, said shares of Class B Common Stock shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissue.

 

(4)           Upon such time that the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represent, in the aggregate, less than twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding voting securities (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Common Stock) (the “Triggering Event”), all issued and

 

3



 

outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock shall be automatically, without any action of holders thereof, converted into an identical number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock on the date fixed therefor by the Board of Directors that is as soon as is reasonably practicable following such Triggering Event.  In addition, immediately prior to the earlier of (i) any distribution of assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock in connection with a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and (ii) any record date established to determine the holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution of assets, each outstanding share of Class C Common Stock shall automatically, without any action of holders thereof, convert into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock.

 

(5)           Upon the conversion of Class C Common Stock into shares of Common Stock, said shares of Class C Common Stock shall be retired and shall not be subject to reissue.

 

(6)           The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock pursuant to this Section D, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock into Common Stock.

 

(7)           The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, relating to the conversion of Class C Common Stock into Common Stock, as it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith.  If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Triggering Event has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected in the books of the Corporation, the Corporation may request that a holder or holders of Class B Common Stock furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as the Corporation deems necessary to determine whether a Triggering Event has occurred.  If a holder does not within fifteen (15) days after such request respond to the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may make such determinations as it reasonably determines based on the information available to the Board of Directors.

 

(8)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock, acting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of directors, and in the event that twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of directors shall result in a fraction of a director, then the holders of the Common Stock, acting as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the next higher whole number of directors.

 

E.                                     PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Board of Directors shall, by resolution, designate the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Preferred Stock.  Pursuant to

 

4



 

subsection 242(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or any class or series thereof may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation entitled to vote irrespective of such subsection.

 

ARTICLE V

 

The Board of Directors of the Corporation is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal By-Laws of the Corporation, but the Stockholders may make additional By-Laws and may alter or repeal any By-Law whether adopted by them or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

Elections of directors need not be by written ballot except and to the extent provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

Each person who is or was or had agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or each such person who is or was serving or who had agreed to serve at the request of the Board of Directors or an officer of the Corporation as an employee or agent of the Corporation or as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person), shall be indemnified by the Corporation, in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted from time to time by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) or any other applicable laws as presently or hereinafter in effect.  Without limiting the generality or the effect of the foregoing, the Corporation may enter into one or more agreements with any person that provide for indemnification greater or different than that provided in this Article VIII.  Any amendment or repeal of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder immediately prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (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 the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Any amendment or repeal of this Article IX shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing immediately prior to such amendment or

 

5



 

repeal.  The liability of a director shall be further eliminated or limited to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, as it may hereafter be amended.

 

ARTICLE X

ARTICLE XI

 

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation except that under no circumstances may such amendment be adopted except as prescribed by Article IV, above, and provided further that (A) the rights of the Class B Common Stock may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the approval of the holders of the requisite number of said shares of Class B Common Stock and (B) the rights of the Class C Common Stock prescribed by Article IV and in this Article XI may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock.
