(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the name of such holder or the name or names of the nominees of such holder in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to such holder’s nominee or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(c) Automatic Conversion.

(i) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (the occurrence of which shall be promptly notified in writing by the Corporation to the affected holders of shares of Preferred Stock), each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Price then in effect (provided, however, in the event of a Qualified Initial Public Offering, shares of Series G Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (y) the Series G Conversion Price as in effect at the time of conversion or (z) the price per share of Common Stock sold to the public by the Corporation’s underwriter(s) in connection with such Qualified Initial Public Offering):

(A) the closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering; or

(ii) Each share of Series C Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Series C Conversion Price in the event there ceases to be at least fifteen percent (15%) of the originally issued shares of Series C Preferred outstanding (the occurrence of which shall be promptly notified in writing by the Corporation to the affected holders of shares of Series C Preferred).

(iii) Each share of Series H Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Series H Conversion Price upon the written election of the holders of not less than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) in voting power of the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred.

(iv) Upon the occurrence of (A) an event specified in Section 5(c)(i) hereof, all shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) an event specified in Section 5(c)(ii) hereof, all shares of Series C Preferred, shall be converted automatically without any further action by any holder of such shares and whether or not the certificate or certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or the transfer agent for such Preferred Stock, provided, however that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue a certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock were convertible unless the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock being converted are either delivered to the Corporation or the transfer agent for such Preferred Stock, or the holder notifies the Corporation or such transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen, or destroyed and executes and delivers an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith and, if the Corporation so elects, provides an appropriate indemnity.

(v) Upon the automatic conversion of any series of Preferred Stock, each holder of such Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such holder’s shares of such Preferred Stock at the office of the Corporation or of the transfer agent for such Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, promptly at such office and in such holder’s name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of the Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the automatic conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect.

(II) If such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation, or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the applicable Conversion Price (or, in the event that more than one Conversion Price is hereby affected, the applicable Conversion Prices) computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, other than any special contingent adjustment to the Series H Conversion Price pursuant to Section 5(d)(viii), be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

(III) Upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the applicable Conversion Price (or, in the event that more than one Conversion Price is hereby affected, the applicable Conversion Prices) computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

(a) In the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and

 

- 13 -


(b) In the case of Options for Convertible Securities only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Corporation (determined pursuant to Section 5(d)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(IV) No readjustment pursuant to clause (II) or (III) above shall have the effect of increasing any Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Price on the original adjustment date or (b) the applicable Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date;

(V) In the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of any Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (III) above; and

(VI) If such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.

(B) Stock Dividends, Stock Distributions and Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series H Original Issue Date shall declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then and in any such event, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued:

(I) In the case of any such dividend or distribution, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or

 

- 14 -


(II) In the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the date immediately prior to the date upon which corporate action becomes effective.

If such record date shall have been fixed and no part of such dividend shall have been paid on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made for any applicable Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter such applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iii) as to the time of actual payment of such dividend.

(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

(A) In the event the Corporation at any time after the Series H Original Issue Date shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii)(A) but excluding Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii)(B), which event is dealt with in Section 5(d)(vi) hereof) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, and in such event, such Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock underlying any outstanding Option or Convertible Securities) plus (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue (including shares of Common Stock underlying any outstanding Option or Convertible Securities) plus (II) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or deemed to be issued.

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or deemed to be issued shall not be reduced pursuant to Section 5(d)(iv)(A) hereof at such time if the amount of such reduction would be an amount less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward and reduction with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or more.

 

- 15 -


(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 5(d), the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

(A) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:

(I) Insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amounts of cash received by the Corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(II) Insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, except that if such property consists of securities, such consideration shall be computed as follows:

(A) If traded on a securities exchange, be computed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such securities exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing;

(B) If actively traded over-the-counter, be computed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and

(C) If there is no active public market, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

(III) In the event that Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (I) and (II) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(B) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii)(A), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (I) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (II) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(vi) Adjustment for Dividends, Distributions, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Stock.

(A) Stock Dividends, Distributions or Subdivisions. In the event the Corporation shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(d)(iii)(B) in a stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such stock dividend, stock distribution or subdivision, be proportionately decreased.

(B) Combinations or Consolidations. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such combination or consolidation shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

(vii) Capital Reorganization, Merger or Sale of Assets. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, recapitalization, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 5) or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, other than a merger or consolidation of the Corporation in a transaction in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the transaction possess more than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity (or parent, if any) immediately after the transaction or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (each, a “Reorganization”), then, as a part of and as a condition to such Reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock the same kind and amount of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, to which such holder would have been entitled if such holder had converted its shares of Preferred Stock immediately prior to the effective time of such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Conversion Prices then in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after such Reorganization in as nearly equivalent manner as may be reasonably practicable.

The Corporation shall furnish holders of shares of Investor Preferred Stock at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of each Reorganization, which notice shall set forth in detail all material terms of the Reorganization. In the case of a Reorganization to which both this Section 5(d)(vii) and Section 4(b) hereof apply, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of each of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series E Preferred, Series F Preferred, Series G Preferred or Series H Preferred, as the

 

- 17 -


case may be, voting separately, upon the occurrence of a Reorganization shall have the option to elect treatment either under this Section 5(d)(vii) or under Section 4(b) hereof with respect to the Series A Preferred, Series 13 Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series E Preferred, Series F Preferred, Series G Preferred or Series H Preferred, as applicable, notice of which election shall be given in writing to the Corporation not less than five (5) business days prior to the effective date of such Reorganization. If no such election is timely made, the provisions of Section 4(b) and not of this Section 5(d)(vii) shall apply.

The provisions of this Section 5(d)(vii) shall not apply to any reorganization, merger or consolidation involving (1) only a change in the state of incorporation of the Corporation, (2) a merger of the Corporation with or into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which is incorporated in the United States of America (which does not involve a change in the terms of any series of the Preferred Stock or of the Common Stock), or (3) an acquisition by merger, reorganization or consolidation, in which the Corporation is substantively the surviving corporation and operates as a going concern, of another corporation which is incorporated in the United States of America and which is engaged in a business similar to or related to the business of the Corporation and which does not involve a change in the terms of any series of the Preferred Stock or of the Common Stock and following which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the acquisition possess more than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity (or parent, if any).

(viii) Special Contingent Adjustment for Series H Preferred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that during the period between the Series H Original Issue Date and the second anniversary of the Series H Original Issue Date, the Board of Directors increases the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or Options to purchase shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Corporation’s 1996 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, the Corporation’s 2005 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan and any other plan approved by the Board of Directors to an amount in excess of 3,778,314 shares, then, and in such event, the Series H Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such authorization shall be reduced to a price (calculated to four decimal places) determined by dividing (1) One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($125,000,000) by (II) 30,519,989 shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock or Options to purchase shares of Common Stock authorized by the Board of Directors in excess of 3,778,314.

(e) No Impairment. The Corporation shall not, by amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger (including any merger with a direct or indirect subsidiary), dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against impairment.

(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Prices pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and

 

- 18 -


furnish to each affected holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any affected holder of Preferred Stock, furnish to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the applicable Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of each share of the applicable series of Preferred Stock.

(g) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to such record date a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

(h) Common Stock Reserved. The Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but -unissued Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

(i) Certain Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any issue or transfer taxes payable in connection with the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock, provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer to a name other than that of the holder of such Preferred Stock.

(j) Closing of Books. The Corporation shall at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any series of Preferred Stock, or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion or transfer of any such series of Preferred Stock.

6. Voting Rights.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, or as provided in Section 8 hereof, each of the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting and to vote together as a single class upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote, on the following basis:

(i) Holders of Common Stock shall have one vote per share of Common Stock held by them; and

(ii) Holders of Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes per share of Preferred Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each such share of Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted on the date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of Preferred Stock shall vote as a separate class on any matters as to which a separate class vote is required by applicable law or Section 8 below.

 

- 19 -


7. Dividend Rights.

(a) From and after the respective date or dates, as the case may be, on which shares of a series of Preferred Stock were issued, dividends shall accrue on each share of such series of Preferred Stock, whether or not funds are legally available therefor and whether or not declared by the Board of Directors, at the rate per annum equal to 8% (the “Preferred Stock Dividends”). Such Preferred Stock Dividends shall be payable only upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

(b) If the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall declare a dividend payable upon the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable entirely in shares of Common Stock of the Corporation for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5(d)(vi) hereof), then the Board of Directors shall declare at the same time a dividend upon the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock payable at the same time as the dividend paid on the Common Stock, in an amount equal to the amount of dividends per share of Preferred Stock as would have been payable on the largest number of whole shares (to the nearest whole share) of Common Stock which each share of Preferred Stock held by each holder thereof would have received if such Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividends.

(c) In the event the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall declare a dividend payable upon any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation other than the Common Stock (other than a dividend for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 5(d)(vi) hereof), the Board of Directors shall declare at the same time a dividend upon the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, payable at the same time as such dividend on such other class or series of capital stock in an amount equal to (i) in the case of any series or class of capital stock convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Preferred Stock as would equal the dividend payable on such other class or series determined as if all such shares of such class or series had been converted to Common Stock and all shares of Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock on the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (ii) if such class or series of capital stock is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Preferred Stock determined by dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock and multiplying such fraction by the applicable Base Liquidation Price then in effect.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5 above, all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of Preferred Stock to and until the date of such conversion shall be forfeited and shall not be due and payable. As set forth in Section 7(a) above, and for the avoidance of any doubt, Preferred Stock Dividends shall be payable only upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

13. Residual Rights. All rights accruing to the outstanding shares of the Corporation not expressly provided for in the terms of the Preferred Stock shall be vested in the Common Stock.

FIFTH: The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

SIXTH: For the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition and not in limitation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, by the State of Delaware, it is further provided that:

A. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation as in effect from time to time, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the By-Laws. The phrase “whole Board” and the phrase “total number of directors” shall be deemed to have the same meaning, to wit, the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies. No election of directors need be by written ballot except as and to the extent provided in the By-Laws.

B. After the original or other By-Laws of the Corporation have been adopted, amended or repealed, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section 109 of the DGCL, and, after the Corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend, or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation may be exercised by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

C. The books of the Corporation (subject to any provision contained in the statutes of the State of Delaware) may be kept at such place within or without the State of Delaware as the By-Laws of the Corporation may provide or as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

SEVENTH: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL, as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section as amended or supplemented (or any successor), and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

EIGHTH: No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for any monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any

 

- 24 -


provision of law imposing such liability; provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director, to the extent that such liability is imposed by applicable law: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 or successor provisions of the DGCL; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission if such elimination or limitation is prohibited by the DGCL.
