or paid-in surplus of the Corporation.
4.2 Preferred Stock.
(a) General. Subject to any vote expressly required by this Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board of Directors) is hereby
expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions, to provide, out of the unissued shares of
Preferred Stock, for series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix the
number of shares constituting such series, the designation of such series, the voting powers (if
any) of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative participating, optional or
other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the
shares of such series. The voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and
other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, of each
series of Preferred Stock may differ from those of any and all other series at any time
outstanding.
(b) Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.
Eighteen Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand (18,780,000) shares of the authorized and unissued
Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock). Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares of the
authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated as the Series B
Non-voting Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred Stock). Fourteen Million (14,000,000) shares
of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated as the
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series C Preferred Stock). The rights, preferences,
powers, privileges, restrictions, qualifications and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock,
the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock shall be as follows.
1. Dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on
shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock in any year, out of
assets legally available therefor (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock), unless the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first
receive a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to ten
cents ($0.10) per share per annum (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares after the
Effective Time), payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends shall
be cumulative and accrue from day-to-day, whether or not earned or declared, until such date on
which the Corporation closes an initial public offering of its Common Stock in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145
under such Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the Corporation,
resulting in at least Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) of gross proceeds to the Corporation (an
"IPO), on which date, the Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue any dividends; provided,
that the occurrence of an IPO shall have no effect on the right of the holders of the Series B
Preferred Stock to any such dividends accrued prior to the date of an IPO. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if, prior to December 31, 2009, the Corporation requests that a holder of Series B
Preferred Stock voluntarily defer dividend payments, and if, prior to December 31, 2009, such
holder agrees to such voluntary deferral in writing, such holder shall be entitled, at the
discretion of the Board of Directors, to a cumulative accrual with respect to such voluntarily
deferred dividend payments in an amount equal to fifteen cents ($0.15), rather than ten cents
($0.10), per share per annum (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend,
stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such
2
shares after the Effective Time) from the effective date of such voluntary deferral until
December 31, 2009, after which date the rate of the cumulative accrual with respect to all shares
of Series B Preferred Stock shall be ten cents ($0.10) per share per annum (subject to appropriate
adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization
affecting such shares after the Effective Time). All such voluntarily deferred dividends are
payable at any time (without regard to the payment or non-payment of dividends to other holders of
Series B Preferred Stock who did not voluntarily defer dividend payments) when, as and if declared
by the Board of Directors. No dividends shall be paid or set aside with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock (other than dividends on shares of Common
Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B
Preferred Stock are paid or set aside for payment to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.
After the payment or setting aside of dividends payable on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock,
any additional dividends declared or paid in such year shall be declared or paid to the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis), Series C Preferred Stock (on an as-converted
basis) and Common Stock, pari passu.
2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset
Sales.
(a) Payments to Holders of Series C Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (on a pari passu basis with the holders
of any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series C Preferred
Stock), and before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A
Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior
to the Series C Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to Two
Dollars and Forty Cents ($2.40) per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares after
the Effective Time), plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. If, upon any such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the remaining assets available for
distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series C
Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series
C Preferred Stock the full aforesaid preferential amount to which they shall be entitled, the
holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on
liquidation on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution
of the remaining assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which
would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all
amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
(b) Payments to Holders of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all
preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock and any other
class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation senior to the Series B Preferred
Stock, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be
paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (on a pari
passu basis with the holders of any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity
with the Series B Preferred Stock), and before any payment shall be made to the holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior
to the Series B Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to One Dollar
($1.00) per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares after the Effective Time) (the
"Series B Liquidation Price), plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon. If, upon any such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the remaining assets
3
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a
parity with the Series B Preferred Stock the full aforesaid preferential amount to which they shall
be entitled, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock
ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any
distribution of the remaining assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective
amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such
distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
(c) Payments to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all
preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B

be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distributions to its
stockholders (on a pari passu basis with the holders of any class or series of stock ranking on
liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock), and before any payment shall be made to
the holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock ranking on liquidation junior to
the Series A Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to One Dollar
($1.00) per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares after the Effective Time),
plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the remaining assets available for distribution to its stockholders
shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any class or
series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock the full
aforesaid preferential amount to which they shall be entitled, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series
A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets available for
distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of
the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such
shares were paid in full.
(d) Payments to Holders of Common Stock. In the event of any voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all
preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of Preferred Stock and any other class or
series of stock of the Corporation ranking on liquidation senior to or on a parity with the
Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to
receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders as
otherwise set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, pro rata based on the number of shares
held by each such holder.

of this Subsection 2, unless the holders of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding
shares of each of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred

Series C Preferred Stock) on an as-converted basis, elect otherwise by written notice given to the
Corporation at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such event:

consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock
that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting
power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving
or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following
such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation

exercise of Options (as defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation or upon conversion of Convertible Securities (as defined below) outstanding
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be deemed to be outstanding immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation and, if applicable, converted or exchanged in such merger or
consolidation on the same terms as the actual outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted or
exchanged); or
(B) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the
Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as

or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm
or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors.

3. Voting.
(a) General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for
their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written
consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and each holder of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible
as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter, and shall be
entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.
Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders
of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of Series C Preferred
5
Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock, and with the holders of any other
series of Preferred Stock the terms of which so provide, as a single class. Except as provided by

such holder.
(b) Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time when at least 6,000,000
shares of Series C Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock

directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following
without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the
written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a
meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) together as a separate class on an as-converted
basis:
(i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Corporation in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series C
Preferred Stock;
(ii) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of,

winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption, or increase the
authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock or increase the authorized number of shares
of any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to the Series C
Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption; or
(iii) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Corporation that is pari passu
with the Series C Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if
such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to the
Series C Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege, or reclassify,
alter or amend any existing security of the Corporation that is junior to the Series C Preferred
Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the

Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege.
4. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred
Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock shall be subject, and have the following rights with
respect, to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and Series
C Preferred Stock as follows:
(a) Mandatory Conversion.
(i) Upon the closing of an IPO, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
automatically converted, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof,
into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by
multiplying 1/10.435 (or approximately 0.096) by the number of shares of such holders
Series A Preferred Stock.
6
(ii) Upon the closing of an IPO, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder
not being repurchased by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(5)(the Convertible Series B
Preferred Stock) shall be automatically converted, and without the payment of additional
consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series B Liquidation Price by an amount equal to
ninety percent (90%) of the greater of Ten Dollars and 44/100 Cents ($10.44) or the offering price
to the public per share of Common Stock by the Corporation in the IPO (the Series B Conversion
Price) and multiplying that quotient by the number of shares of such holders Convertible Series B
Preferred Stock. All dividends accrued and unpaid with respect to the shares of Convertible Series
B Preferred Stock prior to the date of the IPO shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the IPO if
not paid pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(5).
(iii) Upon the closing of an IPO (A) at a price of at least Thirteen Dollars and 04/100 Cents
($13.04) per share (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations and other similar recapitalizations affecting such shares after the Effective Time)
(the Non-Adjusting IPO Price), all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
automatically converted, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof,
into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by
multiplying 0.184 (the Conversion Factor) by the number of shares of such holders Series C
Preferred Stock, and (B) at a price of less than Thirteen Dollars and 04/100 Cents ($13.04) per
share (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other
similar recapitalizations affecting such shares after the Effective Time) (the Adjusting IPO
Price), all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted, and
without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying (1) the Conversion
Factor, by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Non-Adjusting IPO Price and the
denominator of which is equal to the greater of Ten Dollars and 44/100 Cents ($10.44) or the
Adjusting IPO Price, by (3) the number of shares of such holders Series C Preferred Stock.
(iv) All outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and/or the Series C Preferred
Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective
conversion rate, on the date specified by the vote or written consent of the holders of greater
than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the Series C
Preferred Stock, as applicable, which date(s) shall be referred to herein as the Mandatory
Conversion Date for the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock (as defined below). All
holders of record of shares of the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be given
written notice of the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date and the place designated for mandatory
conversion of all such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Subsection 4(a)(iv).
Such notice need not be given in advance of the occurrence of the applicable Mandatory Conversion
Date. Such notice shall be sent by first class or registered mail, postage prepaid, or given by
electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the DGCL, to each record holder of
the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of
shares of the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its
certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such
notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which
such holder is entitled pursuant to this Subsection 4(a)(iv). On the applicable Mandatory
Conversion Date, all outstanding shares of the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock, which shall be deemed to be
outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock so converted,
including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock),
will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate
or certificates therefor, to receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into
which such Convertible Preferred Stock has been converted, and payment of any declared but unpaid
dividends thereon. If so required by the
7
Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by
written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly
executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As
soon as practicable after the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date and the surrender of the
certificate or certificates for the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or on his, her or its written
order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and cash as provided in Subsection 4(c) in
respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. All
certificates evidencing shares of Convertible Preferred Stock which are required to be surrendered
for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the applicable
Mandatory Conversion Date, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock represented thereby converted into Common Stock for all purposes,
notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or
prior to such date. Such converted Convertible Preferred Stock may not be reissued as shares of
such Series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for
stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of the applicable
series of Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.
(b) Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible,
at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of
additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing One Dollar ($1.00) by the Series A Conversion
Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. Each share of Series C Preferred
Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time,
and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing Two Dollars and
Forty Cents ($2.40) by the Series C Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of
conversion. The Series A Conversion Price shall initially be an amount equal to Ten Dollars and
44/100 Cents ($10.44) per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares after the
Effective Time). The Series C Conversion Price shall initially be an amount equal to Thirteen
Dollars and 04/100 Cents ($13.04) per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares after
the Effective Time).
The optional conversion rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C
Preferred Stock shall be collectively referred to as the Conversion Rights. Such initial Series
A Conversion Price and Series C Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be
subject to adjustment as provided below in Section 4.2(b)(4)(e). As used herein, Convertible
Preferred Stock means the Series A Preferred Stock and/or the Series C Preferred Stock, as
applicable, and Conversion Price means the Series A Conversion Price and/or the Series C
Conversion Price, as applicable.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed
Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full
day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the
holders of Convertible Preferred Stock (the Conversion Termination Date); provided, however, that
the Conversion Rights shall not terminate in the event that such liquidation, dissolution, winding
up or Deemed Liquidation Event is rescinded or otherwise does not occur.
(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C
8
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 (i) the offering
price to the public per share of Common Stock in the IPO if such conversion occurs pursuant to
Section 4.2(b)(4)(a), and (ii) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors if such conversion occurs pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(4)(b).
Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the
basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Series B Preferred
Stock and Series C Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
(d) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Promptly following notice of an IPO triggering all the mandatory conversion provisions of
Section 4.2(b)(4)(a)(i)-(iii) from the Corporation or in order for a holder of Convertible
Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, each holder of Series
A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall
surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that
such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement
reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be
made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such
certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the
Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), and in the case of optional
conversion, together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of
the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate(s) and, if
applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent, which notice shall state such
holders name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate(s) for
shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for
conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in
form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its
attorney duly authorized in writing. If such conversion is not in conjunction with an IPO, the
close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent of such certificate(s) (or lost
certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as
its own transfer agent) shall be the time of conversion (the Conversion Time), and the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon optional conversion of the shares represented by such certificate(s)
shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as
practicable after receipt of such certificate(s) for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, issue and deliver at such office
to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock or Series C
Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate(s) for the number of shares of
Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of
a share.
(ii) If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to
this Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
reducing a Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which
may, in the opinion of its counsel,
9
be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
(iii) Upon an IPO triggering all the mandatory conversion provisions of Section
4.2(b)(4)(a)(i)-(iii), all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock
and Series C Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with
respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall
immediately cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of
Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends accrued but unpaid
thereon pursuant to Subsection 5 below. All shares of Convertible Preferred Stock that shall have
been surrendered for optional conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive
notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the
right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive
payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. All converted shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall be retired and
cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation (without the need
for stockholder action) may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to
reduce the authorized number of shares of such series accordingly.
(iv) Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series B Conversion Price or the
Conversion Price with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock shall
be made for any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, the
Series A Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, surrendered for conversion
or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
(v) The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in
respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Subsection 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of
Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Convertible
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such
issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance
has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of
the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(e) Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.
(i) Special Definitions. For purposes of this Subsection 4, the following
definitions shall apply:
(A) Option shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(B) Convertible Securities shall mean any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other
securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, but excluding
Options.
(C) Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or,
pursuant to Subsection 4(e)(iii) below, deemed to be issued) by the Corporation after the Effective
Time, other than the following (Exempted Securities):
10
(I) | shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued as a dividend or distribution on the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock; | ||
(II) | shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock that is covered by Subsection 4(f) or 4(g) below; | ||
(III) | shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board of Directors; | ||
(IV) | shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities actually issued upon the exercise of Options or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security, including any amendments thereto; or | ||
(V) | shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors, or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by the Board of Directors. |
(ii) No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in a Conversion Price shall be
made as the result of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if: (a) the consideration
per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4(e)(v)) for such Additional Shares of Common Stock
issued or deemed to be issued by the Corporation is equal to or greater than the applicable
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock, or (b) prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, the Corporation receives
written notice from the holders of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares
of the applicable series of Convertible Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be
made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section 4.2(b)(4)(e) as a result of an IPO triggering all the mandatory conversion provisions of
Section 4.2(b)(4)(a)(i)-(iii), since all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock will be mandatorily converted into shares of Common Stock upon the closing of an IPO pursuant
to Section 4.2(b)(4)(a).
(iii) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock.
11
(A) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time shall issue
any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which, upon
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof to receive Exempted
Securities pursuant to Subsections 4(e)(i)(C)(I), (II), (III), (IV) or (V)) or shall fix a record
date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such
Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth
in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability,
convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a
subsequent adjustment of such number) 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 of Common Stock issued as of the time of such
issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such
record date.
(B) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an
adjustment to a Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4(e)(iv) below, are
revised (either automatically pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an
amendment to such terms) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or
Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the
Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or
decrease becoming effective, the applicable Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of
such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto)
shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in
effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment pursuant to this clause (B) shall have the effect of increasing a
Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the applicable Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the original adjustment, or (ii) the applicable Conversion Price that
would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original
adjustment date and such readjustment date.
(C) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible
Securities which, upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, would entitle the holder thereof
to receive Exempted Securities pursuant to Subsections 4(e)(i)(C)(I), (II), (III), (IV) or (V)),
the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to a Conversion Price pursuant to the terms
of Subsection 4(e)(iv) below (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to
Subsection 4(e)(v) hereof) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or
greater than such Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security
was issued before the Effective Time), are revised after the Effective Time (either automatically
pursuant to the provisions contained therein or as a result of an amendment to such terms) to
provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any
increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion
or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended, and the Additional Shares of
Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4(e)(iii)(A) above)
shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
(D) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or
unexchanged Convertible Security which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a
revision of its terms) in an adjustment to a Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection
4(e)(iv) below, such Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have
obtained had such Option or Convertible Security never been issued.
12
(iv) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Time issue
Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued
pursuant to Subsection 4(e)(iii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than
a Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then such Conversion Price shall be
reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a
cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:
CP
2 = CP1 * (A + B) + (A + C)
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:
(A) CP2 shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately after
such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(B) CP1 shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;
(C) A shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and deemed outstanding
immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as
outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately
prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the
Convertible Preferred Stock) outstanding immediately prior to such issue);
(D) B shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such
Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1
(determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such
issue by CP1); and
(E) C shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such
transaction.
(v) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4(e), 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 amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; | ||
(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; and | ||
(III) | in the event 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) |
13
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 Subsection 4(e)(iii), 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) Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than
one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of
related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to a Conversion Price pursuant to the
terms of Subsection 4(e)(iv) above then, upon the final such issuance, such Conversion Price shall
be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first
such issuance (and without additional giving effect to any adjustments as a result of any
subsequent issuances within such period).
(f) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any
time or from time to time after the Effective Time effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common
Stock without a comparable subdivision of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock
or combine the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock without a
comparable combination of the Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately
before that subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in
proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the
Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time combine the outstanding
shares of Common Stock without a comparable combination of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series C
Preferred Stock or effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
or Series C Preferred Stock without a comparable subdivision of the Common Stock, the applicable
Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination or subdivision shall be
proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of
each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to
14
such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment
under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision
or combination becomes effective.
(g) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time shall make or issue, or fix a record date
for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other
distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each
such event each Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of
the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in
effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date, and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution;
provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not
fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion
Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and
thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of
actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided, further, that no such adjustment
shall be made if the holders of such Convertible Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i) a
dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares
of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of such Convertible Preferred
Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other
distribution of shares of such Convertible Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of
such event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of additional
shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in such dividend or
distribution.
(h) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation
at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time shall make or issue, or fix a record date
for the determination of holders of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to receive, a
dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution
of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property
and the provisions of Subsection (f) do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in
each such event the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the
distribution to the holders of such capital stock, a dividend or other distribution of such
securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property
as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock had been
converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
(i) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of
Subsection 2(e), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the
Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property
(other than a transaction covered by Subsections (f), (g) or (h) of this Subsection 4), then,
following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger,
each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be
15
convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into
the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one share of such Convertible Preferred Stock immediately
prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would
have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application
of the provisions in this Subsection 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this
Subsection 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the
applicable Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in
relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the
Convertible Preferred Stock.
(j) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or
readjustment of a Conversion Price pursuant to this Subsection 4, the Corporation at its expense
shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of the applicable series of Convertible Preferred
Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other property into which such Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible) and
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation
shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of
Convertible Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting
forth (i) the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received
upon the conversion of such Convertible Preferred Stock.
(k) Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(i) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or
securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock) for the purpose
of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any
right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to
receive any other right; or
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common
Stock, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Corporation,
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such
dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or
right, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time,
if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for
securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation,
merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of
such exchange applicable to the Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice
shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event
specified in such notice. Any notice required by the provisions hereof to be given to a holder of
shares of Convertible
16
Preferred Stock shall be deemed sent to such holder if deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, and addressed to such holder at his, her or its address appearing on the books of the
Corporation.
5. Repurchase Right. The Corporation shall have the right but not the obligation,
exercisable in the sole discretion of the Corporations Board of Directors at, or at any time
before, the consummation of an IPO, to repurchase within thirty (30) days of the consummation of an
IPO, any number of shares up to fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then
outstanding on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (such shares that
are subject to the repurchase being the Non-Convertible Series B Preferred Stock) for a cash
purchase price in respect to each such share equal to the sum of (i) the Series B Liquidation
Price, plus (ii) all dividends accrued and unpaid with respect to such share of Series B Preferred
Stock prior to the date of the IPO (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all dividends accrued
and unpaid on any shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock not repurchased but converted
immediately prior to such IPO pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(4)(a)(ii)). The Corporation shall have
the right to repeal or modify any prior exercise of the repurchase right set forth in this Section
5 prior to consummation of an IPO. The Company shall send notice of exercise of the repurchase
right set forth in this Section 5 (including the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock with
respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised) to the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock; provided, however, neither the repurchase pursuant to this Section 5, nor
conversion pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(4)(a)(ii), shall be conditioned upon such notice. Upon
tender of the repurchase payment by the Corporation, each holder of Non-Convertible Series B
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place
designated by the Corporation, the certificate(s) representing each such holders shares to be
repurchased. The repurchase right established by this Subsection 5 shall be specifically
enforceable by the Corporation; provided, however, actual repurchase hereunder shall be further
conditioned upon, and subject to, the legal availability of funds, and to the extent the
Corporation does not have legally available funds to complete the repurchase within the thirty (30)
day period described in this Section 5, the repurchase shall be delayed, but shall occur as soon
thereafter as and when funds become legally available therefor. Upon the Corporations exercise of
the repurchase right described in this Section 5 and the consummation of an IPO, no shares of
Non-Convertible Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with
respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall
immediately cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive in
exchange therefor the consideration set forth in this Subsection 5 upon consummation of the
repurchase described in this Subsection 5. All repurchased shares of Non-Convertible Series B
Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be reissued as shares of such series,
and the Corporation (without the need for stockholder action) may from time to time take such
appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of such series
accordingly.
6. No Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C
Preferred Stock. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock which are converted, repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation
or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately canceled and shall not be
reissued, sold or transferred.
7. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers or preferences set forth herein of each of the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock,
as applicable, may be waived or defeased by the affirmative consent or vote of the holders of
greater than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of each of the then outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, respectively.
17
4.3 Common Stock.
(a) Each holder of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy
for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders
generally are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law,
holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this
Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of
Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred
Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the
holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of
Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock)
or pursuant to the DGCL.
(b) Except as otherwise required by law, holders of a series of Preferred Stock shall be
entitled only to such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto pursuant to the
provisions of this Article IV (including any Certificate of Designation relating to such series).
(c) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, subject to the
rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of the
Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.
ARTICLE V
5.1. General Powers of the Board. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall
be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors or by such committees as the Board
of Directors may establish.
5.2 Number of Directors; Election; Term.
(a) Effective upon an IPO and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred
Stock with respect to the election of directors, the number of directors constituting the entire
Board of Directors shall consist of not less than 3 nor more than 12 members, with the precise
number of directors to be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution of the Board of
Directors.
(b) Effective upon an IPO and subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred
Stock with respect to the election of directors, the directors of the Corporation shall be divided
into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated Class I, Class II
and Class III. The initial assignment of members of the Board of Directors to each such class
shall be made by the Board of Directors. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall
expire at the first regularly-scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders following the Effective
Time, the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the second annual
meeting of the stockholders following the Effective Time and the term of office of the initial
Class III directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders following the
Effective Time. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to
any directors elected (or to be elected) by the holders of such series, at each annual meeting of
stockholders, commencing with the first regularly-scheduled annual meeting of stockholders
following the Effective Time, each of the successors elected to replace the directors of a class
whose term shall have expired at such annual meeting shall be elected to hold office until the
third annual meeting next succeeding his or her election and until his or her respective successor
shall have been duly elected and qualified.
(c) Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to the
election of directors, if the number of directors that constitutes the Board of Directors is
changed, any newly created
18
directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned by the Board of Directors
among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, provided that
no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term
of any incumbent director.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, and subject to the rights
of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to the election of directors, each
director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her
earlier death, resignation, or removal.
5.3 Removal and Resignation of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any
series of Preferred Stock with respect to the election of directors, and except as otherwise
provided in the DGCL, a director may be removed from office during such directors term by the
stockholders of the Corporation only for cause. If any directors are so removed, new directors may
be elected at the same meeting. Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice to
the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, or the secretary of the
Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if the time be
not specified therein, upon receipt thereof, and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance
of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
5.4 Vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock
with respect to the election of directors, and except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, vacancies
occurring on the Board of Directors for any reason and any newly created directorships resulting by
reason of any increase in the number of directors may be filled only by vote of a majority of the
remaining members of the Board of Directors (and not by the stockholders), although less than a
quorum, or by a sole remaining director, at any meeting of the Board of Directors. A person so
elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office
until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been assigned by the Board
of Directors and until such directors successor shall be duly elected and qualified or, if
earlier, such directors death, resignation or removal.
5.5 Elections of Directors. Elections of directors need not be by ballot unless the
bylaws of the Corporation (the Bylaws) shall so provide.
5.6 Bylaws. The Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter,
change or repeal any and all Bylaws.
ARTICLE VI
6.1 No Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Effective upon an IPO, except as may
be provided in a resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for any series of
Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the
Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and
may not be effected by any written consent in lieu of a meeting by such stockholders.
6.2 Special Meetings of Stockholders. Effective upon an IPO, except as may be
provided in a resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for any series of
Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the
Board of Directors, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer or the
president (in the absence of a chief executive officer), and the ability of the stockholders to
call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied. The Board of Directors may cancel, postpone
or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for
such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. At any special meeting of stockholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the special meeting specified in the

Directors.

ARTICLE VII
7.1 Limitation of Personal Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,
as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time, a director of the Corporation
shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or amendment of this Section 7.1 by the stockholders of the
Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate of
Incorporation inconsistent with this Section 7.1 will, unless otherwise required by law, be
prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to
further limit or eliminate the liability of directors) and shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or
adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such
repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
7.2 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it presently
exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time, the Corporation is also authorized to provide
indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) its directors, officers and agents of the
Corporation (and any other persons to which the DGCL permits the Corporation to provide
indemnification) through bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
ARTICLE VIII
Subject to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation and applicable provisions of
the DGCL, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision
contained in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any rights, preferences or other
designations of Preferred Stock) in any manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Certificate of
Incorporation and the DGCL, and all rights, preferences, privileges and powers conferred upon
stockholders and/or directors by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present
form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to this reservation. In addition to any vote of
the holders of any class or series of the stock of this Corporation required by law, this
Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement with a national securities exchange or otherwise, the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal the provisions of this
Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together
as a single class, shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt any provision as part of
this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with the purpose and intent of Article V, Article VI
or this Article VIII (including, without limitation, any such Article as renumbered as a result of
any amendment, alteration, change, repeal or adoption of any other Article).
