Immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the Effective Time), automatically and without further action on the part of holders of capital stock of the Corporation, each share of the common stock, par value $0.002 per share, of the Corporation outstanding or held by the Corporation as treasury stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the Old Common Stock) shall be reclassified as, and become, one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class B Common Stock (the Reclassification). The Reclassification shall occur automatically as of the Effective Time without any further action by the Corporation or the holders of the shares affected thereby and whether or not any certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation. Upon the Effective Time, each certificate that as of immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Old Common Stock shall be deemed to represent an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock.
ARTICLE V
The designations and the powers, preferences, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation are as follows:
A. Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
1. Equal Status; General. Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights, privileges, preferences and powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters. The voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences and powers of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board of Directors) and outstanding from time to time.
2. Voting. Except as otherwise provided herein or expressly required by law, at all meetings of stockholders and on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation generally, each holder of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall have the right to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder and each holder of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall have the right to ten (10) votes per share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder. Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as such, shall (a) at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation generally, (b) be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the Bylaws), and (c) be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by law; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation (as defined herein)) or pursuant to the DGCL. There shall be no cumulative voting.
3. Dividend Rights. Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends as may be declared and paid from time to time by the Board of Directors out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such shares), then holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such shares, as the case may be), and holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shares of Class B Common
Stock (or rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such shares, as the case may be), with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such shares, as the case may be), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may pay or make a disparate dividend per share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend payable per share, the form in which such dividend is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
4. Subdivisions, Combinations or Reclassifications. Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other class is concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that shares of one such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Subject to the preferential or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the dissolution, distribution of assets, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding up is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
6. Merger or Consolidation. In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, or any consideration into which such shares are converted, upon the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity, such distribution, payment or consideration that the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, shall be made ratably on a per share basis among the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, that shares of such classes may receive, or have the right to elect to receive, different or disproportionate consideration in connection with such consolidation, merger or other transaction if the only difference in the per share consideration to the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is that any securities distributed to the holder of, or issuable upon the conversion of, a share of Class B Common Stock have ten (10) times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of, or issuable upon the conversion of, a share of Class A Common Stock.
7. Conversion.
7.1. Optional Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time upon written notice to the Corporation (an Optional Class B Conversion Event). Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to convert any shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (if any), duly endorsed, at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock, and shall provide written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of such conversion election and shall state therein the name or names (i) in which the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock are so converted are to be issued (if such shares of Class A Common Stock are certificated) or (ii) in which such shares of Class A Common Stock are to be registered in book-entry form (if such shares of Class A Common Stock are uncertificated). If the shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock are to be converted are to be issued in a name or names other than the name of the holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock being converted, such notice shall be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon such conversion (if such shares of Class A Common Stock are certificated) or shall register such shares of Class A Common Stock in book-entry form (if such shares of Class A Common Stock are uncertificated). Such conversion shall be deemed to be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted following or contemporaneously with the provision of written notice of such conversion election as required by this Subsection 7.1, the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be outstanding as of such time, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shares of Class B Common Stock represented by a lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificate may be converted pursuant to an Optional Class B Conversion Event if the holder thereof notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed and makes an affidavit of that fact acceptable to the Corporation and executes an agreement acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate.
7.2. Automatic Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of an event described below (a Mandatory Class B Conversion Event):
i. |
Reduction in Voting Power. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the first date on which the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock ceases to represent at least 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
ii. |
Transfers. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined in Section 9), other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 9), of such share of Class B Common Stock. |
iii. |
Final Conversion of Class B Common Stock. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock on the date that is seven (7) years following the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation. |
7.3. Certificates. Each outstanding stock certificate (if shares are in certificated form) that, immediately prior to the occurrence of a Mandatory Class B Conversion Event, represented one or more shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Mandatory Class B Conversion Event shall, upon such Mandatory Class B Conversion Event, be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Corporation shall, upon the request of any holder whose shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of an Optional Class B Conversion Event or a Mandatory Class B Conversion Event (either of the foregoing, a Conversion Event) and upon surrender by such holder to the Corporation of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such holders shares of Class B Common Stock, if any (or, in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon such holder providing an affidavit of that fact acceptable to the Corporation and executing an agreement acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate), issue and deliver to such holder (or such other Person specified pursuant to Subsection 7.1) certificate(s) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holders shares of Class B Common Stock were converted as a result of such Conversion Event (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to Subsection 7.1 or 7.2 shall thereupon automatically be retired and shall not be available for reissuance.
7.4. Policies and Procedures. The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or the other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, relating to the conversion of the Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, as it may deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith. If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer or other Conversion Event giving rise to a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the
Corporation (or in book-entry as maintained by the transfer agent of the Corporation), the Corporation may request that the holder of such shares furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as the Corporation deems necessary to determine whether a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock has occurred, and if such holder does not within ten (10) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such conversion has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and the same shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation (or in book-entry as maintained by the transfer agent of the Corporation). In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting, the stock ledger of the Corporation (or in book-entry as maintained by the transfer agent of the Corporation) shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and the class or classes or series of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder.
8. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the time at which the initial classification of the Board of Directors becomes effective, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to a class at the time such classification becomes effective.
D. Term and Removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such directors term expires and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time either with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that at any time when the holders of Class B Common Stock beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than the majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.
E. Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancy or newly created directorship shall be filled by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a newly
created directorship or vacancy in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders held to elect the class of directors to which such director is elected and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal.
F. Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right as provided for herein (including any Certificate of Designation), voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, during the period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right to elect additional directors, the number of directors to be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to paragraph B of this Article VI, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board of Directors shall be automatically increased by such number of directors to be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock and each such additional director shall serve until such directors successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such directors right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation(s) in respect of any series of Preferred Stock, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.
G. Vote by Ballot. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.
ARTICLE VII
A. Consent of Stockholders In Lieu of Meeting. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, at any time when the holders of Class B Common Stock beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents, setting forth the action so taken, are (1) signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class(es) or series of stock of the Corporation representing not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of stock of the Corporation then issued and outstanding (other than treasury stock) entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and (2) delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, at any time when the holders of Class B

Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VIII, or the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VIII 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.
ARTICLE IX
The Corporation shall have the power to provide rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to its current and former officers, directors, employees and agents and to any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope of the first sentence of this Article X, is filed in a court other than the Court of Chancery or the Federal Courts, as applicable, (a Foreign Action) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or the Federal Courts, as applicable, in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the first sentence of this Article X and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholders counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article X. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article X shall not apply to claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
ARTICLE XI
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law and in accordance with Section 122(17) of the DGCL, (i) the Corporation hereby renounces all interest and expectancy that it otherwise would be entitled to have in, and all rights to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that from time to time may be presented to each stockholder of the Corporation that is a party to the Stockholders Agreement, or its affiliates (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries), and any of its or their respective principals, members, directors, partners, stockholders, officers, employees or other representatives (other than any such person who is also an employee of the Corporation or its subsidiaries), or any director or stockholder who is not employed by the Corporation or its subsidiaries (each such person, an Exempt Person); (ii) no Exempt Person will have any duty to refrain from (1) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which the Corporation or its subsidiaries from time to time is engaged or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing, directly or indirectly, with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; and (iii) if any Exempt Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity both for such Exempt Person or any of his or her respective affiliates, on the one hand, and for the Corporation or its subsidiaries, on the other hand, such Exempt Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to the Corporation or its subsidiaries and such Exempt Person may take any and all such transactions or opportunities for itself or offer such transactions or opportunities to any other Person.

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, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. 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 determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
10
2.13 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 filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, 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. 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. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.
2.14 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.
The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), 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: (i) 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 (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporations principal executive office. 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. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
2.15 Inspectors of Election.
Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.
Such inspectors shall:
(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;
(ii) count all votes or ballots;
11
(iii) count and tabulate all votes;
(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and
(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspectors ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.
2.16 Delivery to the Corporation.
Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation required by this Article II.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that directors term of office expires.

The Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors.
12
3.3 Resignation; Removal; Vacancies.

3.4 Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone.
The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting pursuant to this bylaw shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
3.5 Regular Meetings.
Regular meetings of the Board may be held within or outside the State of Delaware and at such time and at such place as which has been designated by the Board and publicized among all directors, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate messages, facsimile, telegraph or telex, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. No further notice shall be required for regular meetings of the Board.
3.6 Special Meetings; Notice.
Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Chief Executive Officer or a Co-Chief Executive Officer, or a majority of the total number of directors constituting the Board; provided, that at any time that the total number of directors constituting the board is eight (8) or more, special meetings of the Board may also be called at any time by a group of no less than four (4) directors.

If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or (iii) sent by other means of electronic transmission, it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporations principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.
13
3.7 Quorum.
At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided that, solely for the purposes of filling vacancies pursuant to Section 3.3 of these Bylaws, a meeting of the Board may be held if a majority of the directors then in office participate in such meeting. 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 of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
3.8 Board Action without a Meeting.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation 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. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent or consent by electronic transmission shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board.
3.9 Fees and Compensation of Directors.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity. Any director of the Corporation may decline any or all such compensation payable to such director in his or her discretion.
Article IV - Committees
4.1 Committees of Directors.
The Board may designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist, of one (1) or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent permitted by applicable law or provided in the resolution of the Board or in these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval (other than the election of directors), or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.
14

(iii) Section 3.6 (special meetings; notice);
(iv) Section 3.8 (board action without a meeting); and

(ii) special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the Board or the chairperson of the applicable committee; and

Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice.

If a resignation is made effective at a later date and the Corporation accepts the future effective date, the Board may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board provides that the successor shall not take office until the effective date. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Corporation under any contract to which the officer is a party.

The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board by resolution may provide that some or all of the shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock represented by a certificate shall be
17

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, or 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.

If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences and the 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 on the back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, set forth in a notice provided pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL); 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 of back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of any uncertificated shares, included in the aforementioned notice) a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the 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.
7.4 Lost Certificates.
Except as provided in this Section 7.4, 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 owners 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.

7.8 Fiscal Year.
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.
7.9 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.

Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holders attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.13 Waiver of Notice.
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation 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 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 of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
Article VIII - Notice
8.1 Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission.
Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholders mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholders electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholders address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholders electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.
Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation 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 or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.
Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:
20
(i) |
if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; |
(ii) |
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 |
(iii) |
if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) 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, provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.
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 shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
Article IX - Indemnification
9.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any director or officer of the Corporation (a covered person) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a Proceeding) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.

9.4 Determination; Claim.
If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article IX is not paid in full within sixty (60) days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article IX is not paid in full within thirty (30) days, after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.
9.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
The rights conferred on any person by this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

9.7 Continuation of Indemnification.
The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.
9.8 Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.

(d) If the Issuers Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines in good faith that a Director Designee (i) is not qualified to serve on the Board consistent with such committees duly adopted policies and procedures applicable to all directors or (ii) does not satisfy applicable legal requirements regarding service as a Director, the applicable designating Stockholder shall have the right to designate a different Director Designee.

(f) Notwithstanding any resolution adopted by the Board which determines the number of Directors constituting the whole Board, for so long as the Idea Men Stockholders continue to collectively Beneficially Own at least 5% of the Shares outstanding, in the event that the number of individuals that the Silver Lake Stockholders, Francisco Partners Stockholders or Spectrum Stockholders have the right to designate for election to the Board is decreased pursuant to Section 2.1(a) for such Stockholder, as applicable, number of Idea Men Designees shall automatically be increased by the corresponding number of Directors; provided that, for so long as any of the Silver Lake Stockholders and/or the Francisco Partners Stockholders are entitled to designate at least one (1) Director at the time that the number of Silver Lake Designees, Francisco Partners Designees or Spectrum Designees is decreased pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the consent of each such Silver Lake Stockholder and Francisco Partners Stockholder shall be required for any Idea Men Designee so designated to fill the vacancy caused by such decrease.

9
(i) The Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall reimburse the Directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board or the board of directors of any of the Issuers Subsidiaries, and any committees thereof, including without limitation travel, lodging and meal expenses, in accordance with the Issuers reimbursement policies.

(j) The Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall obtain customary director and officer indemnity insurance on commercially reasonable terms which insurance shall cover each member of the Board and the members of each board of directors of each of the Issuers Subsidiaries.

(b) So long as the Issuer qualifies as a controlled company for purposes of Stock Exchange rules, the Issuer may elect to be a controlled company for purposes of Stock Exchange rules, and will disclose in its annual meeting proxy statement that it is a controlled company and the basis for that determination. If the Issuer ceases to qualify as a controlled company for purposes of Stock Exchange rules, the Stockholders and the Issuer will take whatever action may be reasonably necessary in relation to such party, if any, to cause the Issuer to comply with Stock Exchange rules as then in effect within the timeframe for compliance available under such rules.
ARTICLE III
POST-IPO TRANSFERS
Section 3.1 Notices. Notwithstanding any terms applicable to, or obligations of, the Stockholders under the Investor Rights Agreement, each Stockholder agrees that until the expiration of the Transfer Restriction Period (or, if earlier, termination of this Article III in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof) and subject to the exceptions in Section 3.7 hereof, it will, prior to (i) exercising any registration rights granted to such Stockholder pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or (ii) otherwise making any Transfer of such Stockholders Shares (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include but not be limited to any underwritten public offering of Shares registered under the Securities Act, any Transfer pursuant to an exemption from registration
10
under the Securities Act, including pursuant to Rule 144, and any distribution), deliver a written notice (a Notice) to each other Stockholder setting forth the expected material terms, conditions and details of the Transfer (including the method of Transfer, the number of Shares, the proposed trade date and, in the case of a Rule 144 sale, the volume limit applicable for the initial measurement period as of the notice date), as applicable.
Section 3.2 Registration Rights. Following the delivery of a Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 regarding the exercise of registration rights under the Investor Rights Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, include demand registration, company registration and shelf takedown request rights) the rights of the Stockholders to participate in any registered offering shall be governed by the terms of such Investor Rights Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Investor Rights Agreement, each Stockholders pro rata participation as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement shall not include any Shares purchased by such Stockholder in the Private Placement, IPO or on the open market following the IPO. Any Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 regarding the exercise of registration rights under the Investor Rights Agreement shall be made prior to or concurrent with a notice to the Issuer under the Investor Rights Agreement.
Section 3.3 Private Placements. Following the delivery of a Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 regarding a Transfer of Shares other than a sale or distribution pursuant to Section 3.2 above or Section 3.4 or Section 3.5 below, no Stockholder shall consummate such Transfer until seven (7) Business Days after the Notice has been delivered to the other Stockholders (the Election Period). Following receipt of such a Notice from a Stockholder, each other Stockholder shall have the right to participate in the proposed Transfer by delivering written notice to the initiating Stockholder within three (3) Business Days. The failure by any Stockholder to deliver any such written notice to the initiating Stockholder within such period shall be deemed to be an election by such Stockholder not to exercise its participation rights under this Section 3.3 with respect to such contemplated Transfer. Subject to the exercise of such right to participate by any other Stockholder under this Section 3.3, the initiating Stockholder shall thereafter be free to sell the number of Shares identified in the Notice in the manner and on terms and conditions no more favorable to the Stockholder than contemplated in the respective Notice. If a Stockholder elects to participate in such Transfer, such participating Stockholder shall be entitled to participate in such Transfer on a pro rata basis based on such Stockholders proportionate ownership of all shares of Class B Common Stock held by all Stockholders participating in such Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of each Stockholders pro rata participation shall not include any Shares purchased by such Stockholder in the Private Placement, IPO or on the open market following the IPO.
Section 3.4 Coordination of Rule 144 Sales.
(a) Following the delivery of a Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 regarding a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (each, a Rule 144 Transfer), no Stockholder shall consummate such Rule 144 Transfer until three (3) Business Days after the Notice has been delivered to the other Stockholders (the Notice Period). Each other Stockholder shall have the right to participate in a Rule 144 Transfer by delivering written notice to the initiating Stockholder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of such Notice. The failure by any Stockholder to deliver any such written notice of participation within such period shall be deemed to be an election by such Stockholder not to
11
exercise its participation rights under this Section 3.4 with respect to such contemplated Rule 144 Transfer. Subject to the exercise of such right to participate by any other Stockholder under this Section 3.4, the initiating Stockholder shall thereafter be free to sell the number of Shares identified in the Notice in the manner and on the general terms and conditions contemplated in the respective Notice during the initial Rule 144 measurement period (measured from the time of the original Notice) up to such Stockholders Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion; provided that if any Stockholder waives, in writing, its Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion for the relevant measurement period, the other Stockholders may increase their respective number of Shares to be Transferred, on a pro rata basis, up to the amount of such non-participating Stockholders Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion. All Stockholders electing to transfer Shares for value in a Rule 144 Transfer agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate the timing and process for transferring their Shares, including, but not limited, selling through a single broker to be mutually agreed among such Stockholders.
(b) Any Stockholder may allocate Shares to a Rule 10b5-1 plan which authorizes a broker to sell the allocated Shares in one or more Rule 144 Transfers provided that the broker for such plan agrees that, prior to effectuating any Rule 144 Transfers, the broker will provide the notice required by Section 3.4(a) and each of the other Stockholders will have the opportunity to sell its Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion in such Rule 144 Transfer. If an initiating Stockholder provides notice under Section 3.4(a) that it intends to sell Shares in a Rule 144 Transfer, any other Stockholder may sell its Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion of Shares (including any Catch-up Shares) pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan; provided that, unless the broker for such plan has made the agreements specified in the preceding sentence that the broker will provide the notice required by Section 3.4(a) prior to effectuating any Rule 144 Transfer, any Shares that remain unsold under such Rule 10b5-1 plan shall count against such Stockholders Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion in a subsequent Rule 144 Transfer.
Section 3.5 Partner Distributions. The Stockholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate any partner distributions or similar redemption of equity interests (any such distribution or redemption, a Distribution) in accordance with this Section 3.5. Prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date and provided that, as of the date of the distribution Notice, the last reported closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is listed (the Closing Price) was at least 1.5 times the price per share set forth on the cover page of the final prospectus for the IPO (the IPO Price) (subject to adjustment for any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise), the Stockholders shall be entitled to make one Distribution up to the Distribution Cap (as defined below). Subsequent to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Stockholders shall be entitled to make one Distribution up to the Distribution Cap (as defined below) per quarter. Following the delivery of a Notice from a Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.1 regarding such a Distribution, no Stockholder shall consummate any such Distribution until ten (10) Business Days after the Notice has been delivered to the other Stockholders. Each other Stockholder shall have the right to conduct a substantially concurrent Distribution by delivering written notice to the initiating Stockholder within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such Notice. The failure by any Stockholder to deliver any such written notice within such period shall be deemed to be an election by such Stockholder not to exercise its participation rights under this Section 3.5 with respect to such contemplated Transfer. Subject to the exercise of such right to participate by any other Stockholder under this Section 3.5, the initiating Stockholder shall thereafter be free to distribute the Shares identified in the Transfer Notice in the manner and on the general terms and conditions contemplated in the respective
12
Transfer Notice, including the proposed timing of such Distribution. Each Stockholder shall be entitled to Distribute no more than the greater of (i) such Stockholders Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion or (ii) one percent (1%) of the Issuers market capitalization as of the date of delivery of the Notice described in this Section 3.5 (the Distribution Cap); provided that if any Stockholder elects not to make any such Distribution (or effect a substantially contemporaneous sale under Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4, which for purposes of this proviso, shall be treated as Shares distributed in the Distribution), the other Stockholders may increase their respective number of Shares to be distributed or redeemed in the Distribution, on a pro rata basis, up to the amount of such non-distributing Stockholders Distribution Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.5 shall not govern with respect to Distributions of the sort described in Section 3.7(c) and shall not be deemed to apply to the Idea Men Stockholders.
Section 3.6 Other Restrictions on Transfer. The restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement are in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer to which a Stockholder may be subject, including any restrictions on Transfer contained in any equity incentive plan, restricted stock agreement, stock option agreement, stock subscription agreement or other agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or instrument by which such Stockholder is bound.
Section 3.7 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the restrictions set forth in this Article III, shall not apply to:
(a) Transfers by a Stockholder to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of such transferring Stockholder, or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by such Stockholder or affiliates of such Stockholder, provided that any Distributions shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 and Section 3.7(c), as applicable, hereof.
(b) Transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by the Board involving the Transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), of shares of capital stock if, after such Transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would beneficially own (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer (or the surviving entity).
(c) Transfers in connection with distributions to certain current and/or former officers, employees or partners of the general partner, managing member or other controlling entity of, or investment advisor to, a Stockholder and/or its affiliates which are made in conjunction with a Transfer pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4, provided that (i) unless otherwise consented to by the other Stockholders participating in the applicable Transfer, the aggregate number of such transferred shares of Common Stock by all such officers, employees and partners pursuant to this clause (c) in conjunction with a particular Transfer shall not exceed 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock being Transferred by the applicable Stockholder and its Affiliates in such Transfer, and (ii) the aggregate number of such transferred shares of Common Stock pursuant to this clause (c) shall be counted as Transferred by the distributing Stockholder in the accompanying Transfer pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 for purposes of calculating such Stockholders pro rata portion.
13
(d) Transfers by a Stockholder in connection with the Private Placement or IPO.
(e) The transfer of equity interests in SLP Geology Aggregator, L.P. which reflect an indirect interest in not more than 20% of the Shares purchased by the Silver Lake Stockholders in, or at the time of, the IPO.
Section 3.8 Idea Men Participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any Idea Men Stockholder declines or is otherwise unable to participate in any Transfer proposed by another Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 as a result of such Idea Men Stockholder or any of its principals, managing members or affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) being subject to trading restrictions under the Issuers insider trading policy, determined in good faith by such Idea Men Stockholder to be in possession of material non-public information, or for any other reason, the Idea Men Stockholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to include the Idea Men Stockholders pro rata portion of Shares not so transferred (the Catch-Up Shares) in any future Rule 144 Transfer pursuant to Section 3.4. To the extent the Idea Men Stockholder elects to include any Catch-up Shares in a future Rule 144 Transfer, the shares of the Stockholders that are to be included in such Rule 144 Transfer shall be allocated as follows: first, to Idea Men up to the amount of Catch-up Shares elected to include in such Rule 144 Transfer; and second, among all the Stockholders (including Idea Men) based on their Rule 144 Pro Rata Portion (which, in the case of Idea Men, shall disregard any Catch-up Shares) of the remaining Shares, if any, in accordance with Section 3.4.
Section 3.9 Termination of Article III. The restrictions set forth in this Article III with respect to any Stockholder shall be of no further effect with respect to the Shares as of the earlier of (i) the completion of the Transfer Restriction Period and (ii) provided that such Stockholder does not have a Director Designee on the Board, the time at which such Stockholder and its Affiliates Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.

The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or in the event, but only in the event, that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the action or proceeding is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States of America, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
