Exhibit 3.01
NINTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
GREEN DOT CORPORATION
Green Dot Corporation (the Corporation), a corporation organized and existing under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the General Corporation Law) hereby certifies
as follows:
1. That the Corporation was incorporated on October 26, 1999 under the name Next Estate
Communications, Inc., pursuant to the General Corporation Law.
2. Pursuant to Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law, this Ninth Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation restates and integrates and further amends the provisions of the
Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended to date.
3. The text of the Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
ONE. The name of the Corporation is Green Dot Corporation.
TWO. The address of the Corporations registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209
Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. The name of its
registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.
THREE. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which
corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.
FOUR. The Corporation is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the Class A Common Stock), 50,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the Class B Common Stock and together with the Class A Common Stock,
the Common Stock) and 25,553,267 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
Preferred Stock), of which 6,519,575 are designated Series A Preferred Stock, 3,197,667 are
designated Series B Preferred Stock, 10,113,638 are designated Series C Preferred Stock,
4,540,569 are designated Series C-1 Preferred Stock, and 1,181,818 are designated Series C-2
Preferred Stock.
The remaining shares of Preferred Stock, if any, may be issued from time to time in one or more
series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board of Directors) is expressly
authorized to provide for the issue of all or any of the remaining shares of the Preferred Stock in
one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each such series,
such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and
relative, participating, optional or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or
restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such shares and as may be permitted
by the General Corporation Law and this Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the Restated Certificate). Except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate, the Board
of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of
shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, subsequent to the issue
of shares of that series. In case the number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased,
the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption
of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
The Corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
increase the authorized amount of its (a) Class B Common Stock if at any time the number of shares
of Class B Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock, and (b) Class
A Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Class A Common Stock remaining unissued and
available for issuance upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
permit conversion of the Class B Common Stock.
The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may be
increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares of Class B Common Stock into which the
Preferred Stock is then convertible plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which
the Class B Common Stock is then convertible plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock into which any other convertible securities then outstanding are convertible)
by an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation, irrespective
of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.
Immediately upon the filing of this Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware (the Effective Time), and without further action on the part of holders of
Common Stock (as defined in the Corporations Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding share of
such capital stock shall be reclassified as one share of Class B Common Stock. All of the shares
of such class of stock shall be uncertificated shares pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation and the person registered on the Corporations books as the owner
of the share so reclassified immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be registered on the
Corporations books as the owner of the share of Class B Common Stock issued upon reclassification
thereof, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. Any stock certificate that
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (as defined in the
Corporations Eighth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) shall from and after the
Effective Time be cancelled and shall no longer represent any interest in the Corporations capital
stock or be transferable. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue any certificates
evidencing the shares of capital stock outstanding as a result of the reclassification described
herein.
The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon
the respective classes and series of the shares of capital stock or the holders thereof are as set
forth below.

in Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, until the dividends set forth in Section l(a) have
been declared and paid on the Preferred Stock, and no dividends on the Common Stock shall be paid

same dividend with the same record date and payment date shall be declared or paid on the shares of
Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that dividends payable in shares of Class B Common Stock
or rights to acquire Class B Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class B Common
Stock without the same dividend being declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock if
and only if a dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock or rights to acquire Class A
Common Stock (as the case may be) at the same rate and with the same record date and payment date
as the dividend declared and paid to the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be declared and
paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock.
(e) No dividend shall be declared or paid on shares of the Class A Common Stock unless the
same dividend with the same record date and payment date shall be declared or paid on the shares of
Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that dividends payable in shares of Class A Common Stock
or rights to acquire Class A Common Stock may be declared and paid to the holders of Class A Common
Stock without the same dividend being declared and paid to the
3
holders of Class B Common Stock if and only if a dividend payable in shares of Class B Common
Stock or rights to acquire Class B Common Stock (as the case may be) at the same rate and with the
same record date and payment date as the dividend declared and paid to the holders of the Class A
Common Stock shall be declared and paid to the holders of Class B Common Stock.

If, upon the occurrence of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to stockholders
shall be insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2
Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts in accordance with this Section 2(a), then the
entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to
stockholders shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to
the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section 2(a).
(b) Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and after payment to the
holders of Preferred Stock of the amount to which they are entitled pursuant to Sections 2(a), all
assets and funds of the Corporation that remain legally available for distribution to stockholders
shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the number of
shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by such holders.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, and to include, (i) the Corporations sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, (ii) the acquisition of this
Corporation by another entity by means of merger, consolidation, sale of voting control, or any
other transaction or series of transactions involving the Corporation in which the stockholders of
this Corporation immediately prior to such transaction hold less than 50% of the voting power of
the surviving corporation or other entity and (iii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, including without limitation any liquidation, winding up or other distribution of
assets to the Corporations stockholders in connection with or resulting from a bankruptcy,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect.
(d) If any of the assets of this Corporation are to be distributed under this Section 2, or
for any other purpose, in a form other than cash, then the Board of Directors shall be empowered
to, and shall promptly determine in good faith the value of the assets to be distributed to the
holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. This Corporation shall, upon receipt of such
determination, give prompt written notice of the determination to each holder of shares of
Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Any securities to be delivered to the holders of Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 2 shall be valued as follows:
(i) if traded on a securities exchange, by averaging the closing prices of the securities over
the thirty (30)-day period ending three (3) days prior to the date of distribution;
(ii) if actively traded over-the-counter, by averaging the closing bid or sale prices
(whichever are applicable) over the thirty (30)-day period ending three (3) days prior to the date
of distribution; and
(iii) if there is no active public market, at the fair market value thereof, as mutually
determined by the Corporation and the holders of Preferred Stock representing a majority of the
shares of Preferred Stock.
5
(iv) In the event the requirements of this Section 2 with respect to a transaction
contemplated by Section 2(c) are not complied with, the Corporation shall forthwith either:
(1) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2
have been complied with, or
(2) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the
holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same such rights, preferences and
privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in the following
paragraph.
The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of any
impending transaction described in Section 2(c) not later than twenty (20) days prior to the
stockholders meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing
of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holder in writing of the
final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms
and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and the
Corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes to such terms
and conditions. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after
the Corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after
the Corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however,
that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the
then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The notice contemplated by this Section 2 shall be in
addition to the notice required pursuant to Section 5.
(e) Nothing hereinabove set forth shall affect in any way the right of each holder of shares
of Preferred Stock to convert such stock at any time and from time to time in accordance with
Section 3.
Section 3. Preferred Stock Conversion. The holders of Preferred Stock shall
have conversion rights as follows:
(a) Right to Convert. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the
option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office
of the Corporation or any transfer agent for such Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Class B Common Stock as is determined by dividing the applicable
Original Issue Price (defined below) of such share of Preferred Stock by the applicable Conversion
Price (defined below) at the time in effect for a share of such series of Preferred Stock. The
Original Issue Price per share of Series A Preferred Stock is $0.3014. The Conversion Price per
share of Series A Preferred Stock initially shall be $0.3014, subject to adjustment from time to
time as provided in this Section 3. The Original Issue Price per share of Series B Preferred Stock
is $0.688. The Conversion Price per share of Series B Preferred Stock initially shall be $0.688,
subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 3. The Original Issue Price
per share of Series C Preferred Stock is $0.82808972. The Conversion Price per share of Series C
Preferred Stock initially will be $0.82808972, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in this Section 3. The Original Issue Price per share of Series C-l Preferred Stock is $1.409515.
The Conversion Price per share of Series C-1 Preferred Stock
6
initially will be $1.409515, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this
Section 3. The Original Issue Price per share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock is $11.00. The
Conversion Price per share of Series C-2 Preferred Stock initially will be $11.00, subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 3.
(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be
converted into shares of Class B Common Stock at the then effective applicable Conversion Price (i)
upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering underwritten by a nationally
recognized investment bank approved by the Corporation and the holders of a majority of the then
outstanding Preferred Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common
Stock to the public involving gross proceeds to the Corporation of at least $25,000,000 at a per
share offering price of at least $2.48 (as adjusted for recapitalizations, stock combinations,
stock dividends, stock splits and the like) (a Qualified Initial Public Offering) or (ii) in the
event the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Shares of Preferred Stock on an
as-converted to Class B Common Stock basis consent to such conversion; provided, however, that no
shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock or Series C-2 Preferred Stock shall
automatically be converted pursuant to such consent under clause (ii) hereof unless a majority of
the then-outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-l Preferred Stock and Series C-2
Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, also consent to such conversion.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Class B Common Stock shall be
issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by
the then effective applicable Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock. Before any
holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Class B Common Stock
pursuant to Section 3(a), 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
(or, in lieu thereof, the holder shall notify the Corporation or the transfer-agent for such
Preferred Stock that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and execute an agreement
satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation for any loss incurred by it in
connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates), and shall give written notice by
mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to
convert the same, and 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.
In the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 3(b), the outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holder of such
shares of Preferred Stock and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are
surrendered to the Corporation or the transfer agent for such Preferred Stock; and the Corporation
shall not be obligated to register on the Corporations books ownership of the shares of Class B
Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares
of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or the transfer agent for such Preferred
Stock as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or the transfer agent for such
Preferred Stock that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an
agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it
in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as
7
practicable thereafter, register on the Corporations books ownership of the number of shares
of Class B Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled in such holders name. If the
conversion is in connection with a public offering of securities described in Section 3(b), the
conversion shall be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities
pursuant to such offering, and the conversion shall not be deemed to have occurred until
immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.
(d) Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Preferred Stock shall be
converted pursuant to this Section 3, the shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be canceled
and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.
(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price of Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price of each
series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock. At any time after the Effective Time, in the event the outstanding shares of Common
Stock shall be subdivided by stock split, stock dividends or otherwise, into a greater number of
shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the Conversion Price of each series of
Preferred Stock then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be
proportionately decreased. At any time after the Effective Time, in the event the outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated into a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock then in effect shall, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
(ii) Adjustments for Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. At any time after the
Effective Time, in the event the Corporation makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any distribution payable in property or in securities
of the Corporation other than shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, and other
than as otherwise adjusted for in this Section 3 or as provided for in Section 1 in connection with
a dividend, then and in each such event the holders of Preferred Stock shall receive, at the time
of such distribution, the amount of property or the number of securities of the Corporation that
they would have received had their Preferred Stock been converted into Class B Common Stock at the
Conversion Price immediately prior to such event.
(iii) Adjustments for Reorganizations, Reclassifications or Similar Events. At any
time after the Effective Time, if the Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different
number of shares of any other class or classes of stock or other securities or property, whether by
capital reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise (other than a
subdivision or combination of shares provided for in Section 3(e)(i) or a merger or other
combination of shares provided for in Section 2(b), which shall be treated as a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), then each share of Preferred Stock shall thereafter
be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder
of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of
such shares of Preferred Stock shall have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification
or other event; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors) in the application of the provisions set forth
8
in this Section 3(e)(iii) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders
of Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3(e)(iii) shall
thereafter be applicable as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or
other property thereafter deliverable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.
(iv) Adjustments for Diluting Issues. In addition to the adjustment of the Conversion
Price provided above, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to further
adjustment from time to time as follows:
(A) Special Definitions.
(1) Additional Shares shall mean all shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
issued (or, pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C), deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the
Original Issue Date for such series of Preferred Stock other than:
i) shares of Class B Common Stock actually issued upon conversion of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-l Preferred Stock or
Series C-2 Preferred Stock;
ii) shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock to an employee, officer or
director; or to a consultant as compensation for services rendered or to be rendered to the

of clarification only, the 257,984 shares of common stock of the Company issued to Steve
Streit in December 2009;
iii) shares of capital stock, Convertible Securities (as defined below) or Options (as
defined below) issued to an equipment lessor, bank, financial institution or similar entity, or a

commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or other transactions, primarily for purposes
other than equity financing;
iv) shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issued as a dividend or other
distribution approved by the Board of Directors (including the Series C Designee, as such term is

v) shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issued in the Corporations
Qualified Initial Public Offering;
vi) shares of capital stock, Convertible Securities or Options issued in a merger or
acquisition that is approved by the Board of Directors (including the Series C Designee, as such
term is defined below);
vii) shares of capital stock issuable upon the exercise of Convertible Securities issued by
the Corporation prior to Effective Time;
9
viii) shares of capital stock, Convertible Securities or Options issued in connection with
joint ventures, development projects or other strategic transactions, in each case approved by the
Board of Directors (including the Series C Designee, as such term is defined below);
ix) if the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares, voting as a separate class,
of any series of Preferred Stock the Conversion Price of which may be subject to adjustment upon
the issuance of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock agree in writing that such shares
shall not constitute Additional Shares with respect to such series of Preferred Stock; and
x) shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B
Common Stock.
(2) Convertible Securities shall mean securities (other than shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series
C-2 Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time, and shares of Class B Common Stock)
convertible into or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, either directly
or indirectly.
(3) Options shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire either Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(4) Original Issue Date for each series of Preferred Stock shall mean the date on which the
first share of such series of Preferred Stock was first issued.
(B) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Conversion Price of any
series of Preferred Stock shall be made pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(D) unless the consideration
per share for Additional Shares issued (or, pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C), deemed to be issued)
by the Corporation is less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date of, and
immediately prior to, such issue, and provided that any such adjustment shall not have the effect
of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the Conversion Price of such series
of Preferred Stock existing immediately prior to such adjustment.
(C) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section
3(e)(iv)(A) or 3(e)(iv)(B), in the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
applicable Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a
record date for the determination of any holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any
such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the
instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent
adjustment of such number) of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares
issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record
10
date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that in
any such case in which Additional Shares are deemed to be issued:
(5) no further adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of
Convertible Securities, shares of Class A Common Stock or shares of Class B Common Stock upon the
exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(6) 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
increase or decrease in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Conversion Price 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,
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;
(7) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion exchange under such
Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price 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:
i) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock, the only Additional Shares issued were shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B 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, whether or not converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration,
if any, actually received by the Corporation upon such conversion or exchange; and
ii) 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 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 in accordance with Section 3(c)(iv)(C)) upon the issue of the Convertible
Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;
(8) no readjustment pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C)(2) or (3) above shall have the effect of
increasing the applicable Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the applicable Conversion
Price existing immediately prior to the original adjustment with respect to the issuance of such
Options or Convertible Securities, as adjusted for any
11
Additional Shares issued (or, pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C), deemed to be issued) between
such original adjustment date and such readjustment date;
(9) 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 the applicable Conversion Price shall be made until the
expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon adjustment shall be made pursuant to clause
(3) above;
(10) in the case of any Option or Convertible Security with respect to which the maximum
number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise or
conversion or exchange thereof is not determinable, no adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be
made until such number becomes determinable; and
(11) if any such record date has been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not
issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made to the applicable Conversion
Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on
such record date and such adjustment, if any, shall be made on the actual date of issuance.
(D) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares. Subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 3(e)(iv)(B), above, if Additional Shares are issued (or, pursuant
to Section 3(e)(iv)(C), deemed to be issued) 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 (a Dilutive Issue), then and in such event, such Conversion Price shall be reduced,
concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying
such Conversion Price by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock which the aggregate consideration
received by the Corporation for the total number of Additional Shares so issued would purchase at
such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and (y) the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of such Additional Shares so issued. For the
purposes of this Section 3(e)(iv)(D), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
outstanding Options and upon conversion of outstanding Convertible Securities and Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to be outstanding, and immediately after any Additional Shares are deemed issued
pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C), such Additional Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding.
(E) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 3(e)(iv), the
consideration received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares issued (or, pursuant to Section
3(e)(iv)(C), deemed to be issued) shall be computed as follows:
(12) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall:
i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the
Corporation after deducting any commissions paid by the Corporation with respect to such issuance;
12
ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof
at the time of such issuance, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation; and
iii) if Additional Shares are issued (or, pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C), deemed to be
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) of this Section 3(c)(iv)(E)(l), as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.
(13) Options and Convertible Securities. The per share consideration received by the
Corporation for Additional Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3(e)(iv)(C),
relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be the sum of (x) the total amount, if any,
received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or
Convertible Securities, plus (y) 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 divided by the aggregate number of Additional Shares
deemed to have been issued.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3,
the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of such series of Preferred Stock to which such
adjustment pertains 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 holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished
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 Class B Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the
conversion of such holders Preferred Stock.
(g) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, merger,
consolidation, 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 will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
the provisions of this Section 3 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 the Preferred Stock against
impairment.
(h) Notice of Record Date. In the event that the Corporation shall propose
at anytime:
13
(1) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property,
stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of
earnings or earned surplus;
(2) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any
additional shares of stock of any class or series or any other securities or property, or to
receive any other rights;
(3) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding
involving a change in the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock; or
(4) to merge with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially
all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up;
then, in connection with each such event, this Corporation shall send written notice to the holders
of the Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the date on which a record shall be taken for
such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of
Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters
referred to in (3) and (4) of this Section 3(h). With regard to the matters referenced in (3) and
(4) of this Section 3(h), such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of
the proposed transaction.
Each such written notice shall be given as provided in Section 7 below.
Section 4.
Class B Common Stock Conversion.
(a) 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 registered owner thereof at any
time upon written notice to the Corporation. Before any registered owner of Class B Common Stock
shall be entitled to convert any shares of such Class B Common Stock, such registered owner shall
deliver an instruction, duly signed and authenticated as provided for in the bylaws of the
Corporation, at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the
Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate
office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the
shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on conversion thereof are to be registered on the books of
the Corporation. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, register on the
Corporations books ownership of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such
registered owner of Class B Common Stock, or to which the nominee or nominees of such registered
owner, shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior the close of business on the date such notice of the election to convert is
received by the Corporation, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the registered
owner or owners of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date. Each share of Class B
Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be cancelled and shall not be
reissued by the Corporation.
(b) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into one (1) fully paid and
nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock on the date, if any, on which the
14
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represent less than ten percent (10%) of the
aggregate number of shares of the then outstanding Common Stock (the Automatic Conversion). The
Corporation shall provide notice of the Automatic Conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock
pursuant to this Section 4(b) to holders of record of such shares of Class B Common Stock as soon
as practicable following the Automatic Conversion; provided, however, that the Corporation may
satisfy such notice requirements by providing such notice prior to the Automatic Conversion. Such
notice shall be provided by any means then permitted by the General Corporation Law; provided,
however, that no failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of
the Automatic Conversion. Upon and after the Automatic Conversion, the person registered on the
Corporations books as the owner of the shares so converted immediately prior to the Automatic
Conversion shall be registered on the Corporations books as the owner of the shares of Class A
Common Stock issued upon Automatic Conversion thereof, without the need for surrender or exchange
thereof. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall
be cancelled and shall not be reissued by the Corporation. Immediately upon the effectiveness of
the Automatic Conversion, the rights of the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock as such shall
cease, and the holders shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or
holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that if the date on which any
share of Class B Common Stock is converted into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 4(b) is after the record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Common
Stock entitled to receive any dividend to be paid to such holders, the holder of such Class B
Common Stock as of such record date will be entitled to receive such dividend on such payment date;
and provided, further, that to the extent that such dividend is payable in Class B Common Stock, no
shares of Class B Common Stock shall be issued in payment thereof and such dividend shall instead
be paid by the issuance of such number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of
Class B Common Stock, if issued, would have been convertible on such payment date.
(c) This Section 4(c) shall become effective immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified
Initial Public Offering, provided that the Class B Common Stock is then a covered security
pursuant to Section 18 of the Securities Act (the Covered Security Date). On or after the
Covered Security Date, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically, without further
action by the holder thereof, converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A
Common Stock, upon the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined in Section 4(e)(iv)), other than a
Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 4(e)(vi)), of such share of Class B Common Stock. Each
share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall be cancelled
and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.
(d) The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in
violation of applicable law or the other provisions of this Restated Certificate, relating to the
conversion of the Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock and the dual class common stock
structure contemplated by this Restated Certificate as it may deem necessary or advisable. If the
Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer 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, the Corporation may request that the holder of such shares furnish
affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as it reasonably deems necessary to determine
whether a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class
15
A Common Stock has occurred, and if such holder does not within ten (10) days after the date
of such request furnish sufficient (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) 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. In connection with
any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent, the stock ledger 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 or in connection with any written consent and the
classes of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class held by such
stockholder.
(e) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4:

Stock beneficially held by (i) an entity that is a Permitted Entity, if there occurs any act or
circumstance that causes such entity to no longer be a Permitted Entity or (ii) an entity that is a

at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, and with
respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equivalent to those of
