          Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after the distribution or payment to the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock as

     NINTH: (1) In anticipation that the Corporation, certain of its officers and directors, a principal stockholder, American Capital, Ltd. (“ACAS”), and certain affiliates and investment funds of ACAS (each, an “ACAS entity”), may engage in, and are permitted to have, investments or other business relationships, ventures, agreements or arrangements with entities engaged in, the same or similar activities or lines of business, and in recognition of (a) the benefits to be derived by the Corporation through the continued service of such officers and directors, and (b) the difficulties attendant to any director, who desires and endeavors fully to satisfy such director’s fiduciary duties, in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular situation, the provisions of this ARTICLE NINTH are set forth to regulate, define and guide the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation as they may involve such officers and directors, ACAS and ACAS entities and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its officers and directors, ACAS and ACAS entities in connection therewith.
     (2) If a director or officer of the Corporation who is also a director, officer, manager, employee or other representative of ACAS or an ACAS entity acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation, such director or officer (i) shall have no duty to communicate, present, or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, (ii) shall be deemed to have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such director or officer to the Corporation and its stockholders with respect to such corporate opportunity, (iii) shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that such director or officer pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself or directs such corporate opportunity to another person (including, without limitation, any stockholder of the Corporation and its affiliates) or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, (iv) shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner

4


 

such director or officer reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders and not to have derived an improper benefit therefrom, if such director or officer acts in a manner consistent with the following policy:
          1. A corporate opportunity available to any individual who is an officer of the Corporation (whether or not a director), and who is also a director but not an officer of ACAS or an ACAS Entity, shall belong to the Corporation, unless such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such individual in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of ACAS or an ACAS Entity, in which case such corporate opportunity shall belong to ACAS or an ACAS Entity;
          2. A corporate opportunity available to any individual who is a director but not an officer of the Corporation, and who is also an officer, manager, employee or other representative (whether or not a director) of ACAS or an ACAS Entity shall belong to the Corporation if such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such individual in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation, and otherwise shall belong to ACAS or an ACAS Entity; and
          3. A corporate opportunity available to any individual who is an officer or director of both the Corporation and ACAS or an ACAS Entity shall belong to the Corporation if such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such individual in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation, and otherwise shall belong to ACAS or an ACAS Entity.
     (3) Except as ACAS may otherwise agree in writing, ACAS and any ACAS entities shall have the right to, and shall have no duty hereunder to refrain from, engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Corporation, doing business with any potential or actual customer or supplier of the Corporation, or employing or otherwise engaging any officer or employee of the Corporation.

In the event that ACAS or an ACAS entity acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both ACAS or an ACAS entity and the Corporation, ACAS and any ACAS entities shall have no duty to communicate present, or offer such corporate opportunity to the Corporation and shall not be liable to the Corporation or its other stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder of the Corporation by reason of the fact that ACAS or an ACAS entity pursues or acquires such corporation opportunity for itself, directs such

5


 

corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.
     (4) Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this ARTICLE NINTH.

The right to indemnification conferred in this ARTICLE TENTH shall also include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition and the Corporation may enter into agreements with any such person for the purpose of providing for such indemnification upon receipt by the Corporation of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation against such amounts. The right to indemnification conferred in this ARTICLE TENTH shall be a contractual right.
     (b) The Corporation may, by an action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to such of the managers, employees, agents or other representatives of the Corporation (each, a “Representative”) to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by Delaware Law. The right to indemnification conferred in this ARTICLE TENTH shall also include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition and the Corporation may enter into agreements with any such person for the purpose of

     (4) The rights and authority conferred in this ARTICLE TENTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding an 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 person.
     (5) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this ARTICLE TENTH, nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed).
