otherwise be required to be issued as a result of the reclassification will be
rounded up or down to the nearest 1/100 of a share of Class A Common Stock or Class

applicable, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with any half share
rounded up to the nearest whole number).

Class A Common Stock, all or a portion of such dividend in an aggregate amount equal to the Class B
Return, to be allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Class B Common Stock in accordance
with their relative ownership of Class B Common Stock, with any remaining dividend to be allocated
on a pro rata basis among the holders of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock in accordance with
relative ownership of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, as applicable. If, at the time of the
payment of any dividend to the holders of Common Stock (other than dividends paid in the form of
shares of Class A Common Stock) or Class A Common Stock (other than dividends paid in the form of
shares of Class A Common Stock), the Initial Stockholders have not received the Aggregate Initial
Stockholders Return from the Corporation, then any such dividend shall be distributed as follows:

a portion of such dividend in an amount such that the Initial Stockholders will have received, in
the aggregate along with any other dividends or distributions received previously from the
Corporation (other than dividends paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock), the
Aggregate Initial Stockholders Return, to be allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of
Common Stock and Class A Common Stock in

received the Aggregate Initial Stockholders Return from the Corporation, then the net assets of the
Corporation available for distribution shall be distributed as follows: (i) first, the holders of
Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a distribution in an aggregate amount equal to
the Class B Return, to be allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Class B Common Stock
in accordance with relative ownership of Class B Common Stock; and (ii) second, the holders of
Common Stock and Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive any remaining net assets, to be
allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock in
accordance with relative ownership of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock, as applicable. If, at
the time of the distribution or other payment in connection with the Liquidation, the Initial
Stockholders have not received the Aggregate Initial Stockholders Return from the Corporation, then
the net assets of the Corporation available for distribution shall be distributed as follows: (i)
first, the holders of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a
distribution in an amount such that the Initial Stockholders will have received, in the aggregate
along with any dividends or other distributions received previously from the Corporation (other

Stockholders Return, to be allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders of Common Stock and
Class A Common Stock in accordance with relative ownership of Common Stock and Class A Common
Stock, as applicable; (ii) second, the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive

basis among the holders of Class B Common Stock in accordance with relative ownership of Class B
Common Stock; and (iii) third, the holders of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive any remaining net assets, to be allocated on a pro rata basis among the holders
of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock in accordance with relative ownership of Common Stock and
Class A Common Stock, as applicable.
(c) In the event of a Liquidation involving the sale of shares by stockholders of the
Corporation or a merger, consolidation or similar stock transaction, the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution shall be deemed to be the aggregate consideration to be
3
paid to all stockholders participating in such Liquidation. In connection with such a
Liquidation, the Corporation shall either (i) cause the definitive transaction document(s) to
provide as a condition precedent to the consummation of such Liquidation for the conversion of the
Class B Common Stock into the right to receive an amount equal to the applicable amount payable
with respect to such Class B Common Stock under this Section 4 (subject to the priorities and
limitations set forth herein) or (ii) concurrently with the consummation of such Liquidation, cause
the redemption of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock for an amount equal to the
applicable amount payable with respect to the Class B Common Stock under this Section 4 (subject to
the priorities and limitations set forth herein).
(d) In the event of a Liquidation involving a Sale of the Corporation (as defined in Section
6), the Class B Return, if any, shall be paid in the same type of consideration as that received by
the stockholders of the Corporation participating in such Liquidation. If any or all of the
proceeds payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in connection with a Liquidation are in a
form other than cash or marketable securities, the fair market value of such consideration shall be
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

terms set forth in this Section 5, immediately prior to the consummation of an Initial Public
Offering (as defined in Section 6), (i) each share of Class A Common Stock shall automatically be
converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into that number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) one by (B)
the Class A IPO Conversion Factor (as defined in Section 6) and (ii) each share of Class B Common

that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the product obtained by
multiplying (A) one by (B) the Class B IPO Conversion Factor (as defined in Section 6).
(b) Automatic Conversion into Common Stock Upon Approval of the Board of Directors.
Upon the terms set forth in this Section 5, upon the approval of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation in its sole discretion to convert all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock into shares of Common Stock, (i) each share of Class A Common Stock shall
automatically be converted, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, into that number
of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by
multiplying (A) one by (B) the Class A Alternative Conversion Factor and (ii) each share of Class B
Common Stock shall automatically be converted, without any action on the part of the holder
thereof, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the

shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock into Common Stock under this Section 5, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written order of such holder, to the place
designated by such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common
Stock to which such holder is entitled. The person in whose name the certificate or certificates
for Common Stock are to be issued shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of

conversion pursuant to Section 5(a) and (ii) the approval of the Board of Directors in connection
with a conversion pursuant to Section 5(b).
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued
upon conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. The number of full
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of such Class A Common Stock or
Class B Common Stock to be converted held by each holder of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock, as applicable, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

To the full extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law currently or hereafter in
effect, no director of the Corporation will be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties
as a director of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI will not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing immediately
prior to such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE VII
Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is 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 the person 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,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an Indemnitee), whether the basis of
such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted or required by the
DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights
than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense,
liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection
therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article VII
with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify
any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee
only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred
in Section 1 of this Article VII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in defending any
such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an Advancement of Expenses); provided,
however, that, if the DGCL so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in
such persons capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service
was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee
benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an
Undertaking), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, 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
(a Final Adjudication) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses
under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of
Expenses conferred in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII shall be contract rights and
such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators.
Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of
this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 calendar 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 calendar days, the
Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim. 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
Indemnitee
2
shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i)
any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a
suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a
defense that, and (ii) 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 Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for
indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an
actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal
counsel or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall
create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the
case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by
the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an 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 Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to
such Advancement of Expenses, under this Article VII or otherwise shall be on the
Corporation.
Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other
right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporations
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Section 5. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such persons status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have
the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL.
Section 6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. 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 to any employee or agent of the Corporation
to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the
indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
3
ARTICLE VIII
To the full extent permitted by the DGCL or any other applicable law currently or hereafter in
effect, no director of the Corporation will be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties
as a director of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of this Article VIII will not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing prior to such
repeal or modification.
