The rights of Preemptive Rightsholders to purchase New Equity Securities pursuant to this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4 (the “Equity Purchase Right”) shall apply at the time of issuance of any right, warrant, or option or

(iii)“Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial banks in the State of Texas or the State of New York are authorized or required by law to close for business.

(c)The Corporation shall give each Preemptive Rightsholder written notice of any proposed issuance or sale of New Equity Securities that is subject to the Equity Purchase Right, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance or sale. Such notice (an “Issuance Notice”) shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed transaction, including the proposed manner of issuance or sale, a description of the New Equity Securities, the total number of New Equity Securities proposed to be issued or sold, the proposed issuance or sale date, the proposed purchase price per share, including a reasonable description of any non-cash consideration, and (if known) the name and address of the proposed purchaser of the New Equity Securities.

(d)At any time during the ten (10) Business Days following receipt of an Issuance Notice, each Preemptive Rightsholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to irrevocably elect, by written notice to the Corporation, to purchase its pro rata portion of the New Equity Securities at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice (except that to the extent the purchase price includes non-cash consideration, a Preemptive Rightsholder shall pay the cash equivalent thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors and specified in the Issuance Notice); provided, however, that no Preemptive Rightsholder shall be obligated (or permitted without the Corporation’s consent) to purchase any New Equity Securities pursuant to this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4 unless all required regulatory approvals, if any, applicable to such purchase have been obtained. Except as provided in the next sentence, the purchase of New Equity Securities by the electing Preemptive Rightsholders shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the closing of any purchase of New Equity Securities by any Preemptive Rightsholder is extended pursuant to this paragraph, such extension shall not preclude the consummation of the issuance or sale of

5 

the remaining New Equity Securities described in the Issuance Notice from occurring prior to such closing.

(e)To the extent that one or more Preemptive Rightsholders do not fully and timely exercise their Equity Purchase Rights, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4, or elects to exercise such rights with respect to less than such Preemptive Rightsholder’s pro rata portion of the New Equity Securities (the difference between such Preemptive Rightsholder’s pro rata portion of the New Equity Securities and the number of New Equity Securities for which such Preemptive Rightsholder Holder exercised its preemptive rights under this Section 4.05 of Article 4, the “Excess Shares”), then the Corporation (or the applicable subsidiary) shall offer to sell to the Preemptive Rightsholders that have elected to purchase all of their pro rata portion of the New Equity Securities, pro rata and at the same price and on the same terms as those specified in the Issuance Notice, and such Preemptive Rightsholders shall have the right to acquire all or any portion of such Excess Shares within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the period specified in Section 4.05(d) of Article 4 by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation.

(f)Following compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4, the Corporation (or its applicable subsidiary) shall be free to consummate the proposed issuance or sale of all or any portion of the remaining New Equity Securities that the Preemptive Rightsholders have elected not to purchase, on terms no less favorable to the Corporation than those set forth in the Issuance Notice; provided, that (i) such issuance or sale is closed within ninety (90) days after the date the related Issuance Notice was given, provided that, if such issuance or sale is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the related Issuance Notice was given, and (ii) the price at which the New Equity Securities are transferred must be equal to or higher than the purchase price described in the Issuance Notice. In the event that the Corporation (or its applicable subsidiary) has not sold such New Equity Securities within such ninety (90)-day period, the Corporation (or its applicable subsidiary) shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Equity Securities without first again offering such securities to the stockholders entitled to preemptive rights in the manner provided in this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4.

(g)The rights and obligations set forth in this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4 shall automatically terminate upon, and shall cease to have any force or effect following, the earlier of (i) the date the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include an “over-the-counter” system or network) in the United States (a “Listing”), or (ii) the consummation of the first public offering and sale of Common Stock by the Corporation (other than on Forms S-4 or S-8 or their equivalent), pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”, and such public offering and sale, an “IPO”).

6 

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries may issue or sell New Equity Securities to any purchaser (an “Accelerated Buyer”) without first complying with the provisions of this ‎Section 4.05 of ‎Article 4 if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to consummate such issuance or sale without having first complied with such provisions; provided, that in connection with any such issuance or sale, the Corporation shall give the Preemptive Rightsholders written notice of such issuance or sale as promptly as practicable, which notice (an “Accelerated Sale Notice”) shall describe in reasonable detail (a) the material terms and conditions of the issuance or sale of the New Equity Securities to the Accelerated Buyer, including the number or amount and description of the New Equity Securities issued, the issuance or sale date, the purchase price per share (including a reasonable description of any non-cash consideration), and the name and address of the Accelerated Buyer and (b) the rights of the Preemptive Rightsholders to purchase New Equity Securities, pursuant to this paragraph, in connection with such issuance or sale. In the event of any such issuance or sale of New Equity Securities to an Accelerated Buyer, each Preemptive Rightsholder shall have the right, at any time during the ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Accelerated Sale Notice, to elect to purchase New Equity Securities in an amount equal to all or any part of its pro rata portion (based upon the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Preemptive Rightsholder as of the close of business on the record date as a percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) of the New Equity Securities issued to the Accelerated Buyer, by delivering written notice of such election to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation shall give effect to such exercise by either (i) requiring that the Accelerated Buyer sell down a portion of its New Equity Securities, or (ii) issuing additional New Equity Securities to such Preemptive Rightsholder, or a combination of (i) and (ii), so long as such action effectively provides such Preemptive Rightsholder with the same opportunity to maintain its ownership percentage of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding following the issuance or sale to such Preemptive Rightsholder it would have received had this paragraph not been utilized.

Section 4.06.Tag-Along Right. (a) If at any time prior to the earlier of a Listing or the consummation of an IPO, stockholders acting as a group (collectively, the “Tag-Along Sellers”) propose to Transfer (as defined below) shares of Common Stock in a transaction or series of related transactions that constitutes a Change of Control (as defined below) (for the purposes of this Section 4.06 of Article 4, a “Tag-Along Transfer”), then each other stockholder that beneficially owns (including all shares beneficially owned by such stockholder’s Affiliates) at least 5% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding (collectively the “Tag-Along Offerees”) shall have the right to exercise tag-along rights in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this ‎Section 4.06 of ‎Article 4 (any such stockholder exercising such rights, a “Tagging Stockholder”). As used herein, (i) “Transfer” means any direct or indirect, voluntary or involuntary, sale, transfer, assignment, encumbrance or other disposition by operation of law or otherwise (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution by a stockholder solely to its members, partners or stockholders upon liquidation or dissolution of such stockholder), and (ii) “Change of Control” means any Transfer to a non-Affiliate transferee (including, without limitation, through any merger, consolidation or other

7 

business combination or sale(s) of capital stock of the Company or otherwise) pursuant to which holders of a majority of the Common Stock (determined on a fully-diluted basis) outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions do not hold securities representing a majority of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately after such transaction or series of transactions. The rights and obligations set forth in this ‎Section 4.06 of ‎Article 4 shall automatically terminate upon, and shall cease to have any force or effect following, the earlier of (i) a Listing and (ii) the consummation of an IPO.

(b)The Tag-Along Sellers shall promptly give notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Corporation, and the Corporation shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, promptly give or cause to be given notice to each Tag-Along Offeree, at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the consummation of the proposed Tag-Along Transfer, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers, the name and address of the proposed transferee, the proposed purchase price for each such share of Common Stock (the “Tag-Along Per Share Consideration”), and any other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Transfer; it being understood that such Tag-Along Notice may be given after the terms of the Tag-Along Transfer have been finalized and does not accord the Tagging Stockholder with any rights to information as to the Transfer not required to be included in the Tag-Along Notice. Each Tag-Along Offeree shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Tag-Along Notice within which to elect to sell up to its Tag-Along Pro Rata Portion of shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Tag-Along Per Share Consideration in connection with such Tag-Along Transfer. Any Tag-Along Offeree may exercise such right by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Tag-Along Sellers specifying the number of shares of Common Stock such Tag-Along Offeree desires to include in the Tag-Along Transfer. Unless the proposed Transferee agrees to purchase all the shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers and the Tagging Stockholders, then the total number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers and Tagging Stockholders in such Tag-Along Transfer shall be reduced by recalculating the allocation on a pro rata basis set forth in this paragraph assuming such smaller number of shares is to be Transferred. As used herein, “Tag-Along Pro Rata Portion” means a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock (determined on a fully-diluted basis) held by the applicable Tag-Along Offeree immediately prior to the Tag-Along Transfer by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (determined on a fully-diluted basis) proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (determined on a fully-diluted basis) held by the Tag-Along Sellers immediately prior to the Tag-Along Transfer.

(c)Each Tagging Stockholder shall agree (i) to make the same representations and warranties to the Transferee with respect to itself and related items as the Tag-Along Sellers make with respect to themselves and related items in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer, (ii) to the same covenants, indemnities and agreements with respect to itself and related items as agreed by the Tag-Along Sellers with respect to themselves and related items in connection with the Tag-Along Transfer, and (iii) to the same terms and

8 

conditions to the Transfer of shares of Common Stock as the Tag-Along Sellers agree (including bearing their proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price.). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by each Tagging Stockholder and each Tag-Along Seller severally and not jointly.

(d)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.06 of Article 4, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Sellers to the Tagging Stockholders or any other person if the Transfer of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.06 of Article 4 is not consummated for whatever reason. Whether to effect a Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.06 of Article 4 by the Tag-Along Sellers is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Sellers.

Article 5
Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

In the event that it is determined that Delaware law does not apply, the liability of a director of the Corporation to the company or its stockholders for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.

Section 11.01.Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom

11 

he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter, a “Covered Person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, manager, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time (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), against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes payable under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Covered Person in connection therewith, and that indemnification shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, manager, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal and legal representatives; provided, however, that, except as provided in ‎Section 11.04 of this ‎Article 11 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Covered Person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by that Covered Person, only if that proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

Section 11.02.Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in ‎Section 11.01 of this ‎Article 11, a Covered Person shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a Covered Person in his or her capacity as a director or an officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Covered Person, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this ‎Section 11.02 of this ‎Article 11 or otherwise. No Covered Person will be required to post any bond or provide any other security with respect to any such undertaking.

Section 11.03.Primary Indemnitor. The Corporation hereby acknowledges that certain Covered Persons may have rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses (directly or through insurance obtained by any such entity) provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the “Other Indemnitors”), and which may include third parties for whom such Covered Person serves as a manager, member, officer, employee or agent. The Corporation hereby agrees and acknowledges that notwithstanding any

12 

such rights that a Covered Person may have with respect to any Other Indemnitor(s), (i) the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all Covered Persons and all obligations to indemnify and provide advancement of expenses to Covered Persons, (ii) the Corporation shall be required to indemnify and advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Covered Persons, to the fullest extent required by law, the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation, any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, any vote of the stockholders or the Board of Directors, or otherwise, without regard to any rights the Covered Persons may have against the Other Indemnitors and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Other Indemnitors from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors with respect to any claim for which the Covered Persons have sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of any such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Covered Persons against the Corporation. These rights shall be a contract right, and the Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this paragraph.

Section 11.04.Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under this ‎Article 11 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Covered Person may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Covered Person shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. It shall be a defense to any suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (other than a suit brought to enforce a claim for advancement of expenses where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the Covered Person has failed to meet any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in the DGCL, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the Covered Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Covered Person is permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Covered Person has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Covered Person, be a defense to such suit). In any suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an

13 

advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this ‎Article 11 or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.

Section 11.05.Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this ‎Article 11 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation, any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, any vote of the stockholders or the Board of Directors or otherwise.

Section 11.06.Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, manager, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against that expense, liability or loss under Delaware law.

Section 11.07.Expenses as a Witness. To the extent any Covered Person is by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, a witness in any action, suit or proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.

Section 11.08.Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this ‎Article 11 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

Section 11.09.Severability. If any provision or provisions of this ‎Article 11 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this ‎Article 11 (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this ‎Article 11 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this ‎Article 11 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this ‎Article 11 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

14 

Section 11.10.Nature of Rights; Amendments to this Article. The rights conferred upon Covered Persons in this ‎Article 11 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, manager, employee, agent or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Covered Person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any repeal, amendment or modification of this ‎Article 11 or any of the provisions hereof that adversely affects any right of a Covered Person or its successors hereunder shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a Covered Person with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such repeal, amendment or modification.

Article 12
Business Opportunities

To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL (or any successor provision) and except as may be otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Corporation and any Dual Role Person (as defined below), the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces and waives any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, directly or indirectly, any potential transactions, matters or business opportunities (including, without limitation, any business activities or lines of business that are the same as or similar to those pursued by, or competitive with, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or any dealings with customers or clients of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) that are from time to time presented to any Dual Role Person (unless first presented to a Dual Role Person in such person’s capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation), even if the transaction, matter or opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so and no such person shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues, acquires or participates in such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing renunciation, the Corporation acknowledges that certain of the stockholders are in the business of making investments in, and have investments in, other businesses similar to and that may compete with the Corporation’s businesses (“Competing Businesses”), and agrees that each such stockholder shall have the right to make additional investments in or have relationships with other Competing Businesses independent of its investment in the Corporation. Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this paragraph. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this paragraph, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this paragraph, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this paragraph in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of

15 

action, suit or claim that, but for this paragraph, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal, adoption or modification. If any provision or provisions of this paragraph shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this paragraph (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this paragraph containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article 12 (including, without limitation, each such portion of any sentence of this Article 12 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Article 12 shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation, or applicable law. As used herein, “Dual Role Person” shall mean any individual who is a director of the Corporation and is otherwise an employee, officer or a director of a stockholder.

Article 13
Exclusive Forum

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery shall not have jurisdiction, another state court located within the state of Delaware, or if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware), shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder of the Corporation (including a beneficial owner of stock) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except as to each of ‎(i) through ‎(iv) above, for any claim as to which such court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court within ten (10) days following such determination). If any provision or provisions of this Article 13 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article 13 (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article 13 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the

16 

application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person purchasing or otherwise 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 13.

Article 14
Amendments

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation and the terms of the stockholders agreement dated on or about the date hereof by and among the Corporation and certain holders of the Common Stock, with the sole exception of those rights and powers conferred under Articles 10 and 11.
