shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange and Support Agreement, a number of shares of Series

holder upon such exchange shall thereupon be automatically redeemed by the Corporation at the
redemption price of $0.0001 per share, without any action nor consent of or by the holder of Series

vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, voting together

Voting Preferred shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, each
holder of record of Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast ten (10) votes for
each share of Series A Voting Preferred Stock held by such holder on the record
date for determining the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote, subject to adjustment
pursuant
5
to Section 7 of this Certificate of Designation (the Preferred Stock Voting
Multiple). Unless otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, at each meeting of
holders of Series A Voting Preferred Stock, at which such holders are voting separately and
exclusively as a series, each holder of record of shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock
entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy, and each such holder shall be
entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the Preferred Stock Voting Multiple for each share of
Series A Voting Preferred Stock held by such holder on the record date for determining the
stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote, if a quorum is present, except as provided in
Section 6(c). with respect to the vote required to elect Series A Directors, a majority of
the voting power of the shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock present in person or represented
by proxy and entitled to vote thereon shall be the vote of the holders of Series A Voting
Preferred Stock with respect to any item of business. Except as set forth in Section 6 or
otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the holders of Series A Voting Preferred Stock
shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required for taking any
corporate action.
(b) Protective Provisions. In addition to any vote required by the Certificate of
Incorporation or by applicable law, for so long as any of the shares of Series A Voting Preferred
Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either 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 two thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series A Voting
Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may
be), separately and exclusively as a series, to:
(i) adopt any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation (including any such alteration, amendment or repeal effected by any merger or
consolidation) that effects a division, subdivision, consolidation or combination of shares
of Common Stock or increases the per share voting power of the Common Stock, unless such
alteration, amendment or repeal also proportionately divides, subdivides, consolidates or
combines shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock on the same basis and does not alter or
change the voting preferences or power of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock relative to
the Common Stock so as to affect the holders of Series A Voting Preferred Stock adversely;
(ii) declare any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than in connection
with a Liquidation) in shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or securities convertible,
exercisable, or exchangeable for Common Stock or Preferred Stock, unless a proportionate
dividend or distribution of shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock is also declared on
the Series A Voting Preferred Stock such that the voting preferences and powers of the
Series A Voting Preferred Stock relative to the Common Stock are not adversely affected;
(iii) except in connection with a division or subdivision pursuant to clause (i) above, divide
or subdivide (by stock split, stock dividend or other distribution, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) the Series A Voting Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares
or combine or consolidate (by reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise)
the Series A Voting Preferred Stock;
6
(iv) list any shares of its capital stock on a securities exchange or
trading market whose listing rules would require an alteration or change to the
voting power of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock or prevent the issuance of
the Contingency Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)
or the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the exchange rights related
thereto; or
(v) 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 A Voting Preferred Stock.
In the event the Corporation shall propose to take any action enumerated in this
Section 6(b) above then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall cause to be
filed with the transfer agent(s) for the Series A Voting Preferred Stock and shall give
notice of such proposed action to each holder of record of the shares of Series A Voting
Preferred Stock appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such
notice at the address of said holder shown therein. Such notice shall specify, inter alia
(v) the effective date of such adoption of any alteration, amendment or repeal of any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation; (w) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purposes of such dividend or distribution; (x) the date on which division
or subdivision is to take place; and/or (y) the date on which shares of capital stock are
to be listed on a securities exchange or trading market, as applicable and (z) the other
material teams of such action. Such notice shall be given at least 20 Business Days prior
to the applicable date or effective date specified above. If at any time the Corporation
shall cancel any of the proposed transactions for which notice has been given under this
Section 6(b) prior to the consummation thereof, the Corporation shall give prompt
notice of such cancellation to each holder of record of the shares of Series A Voting
Preferred Stock appearing on the stock books of the Corporation as of the date of such
notice at the address of said holder shown therein.
(c) Board of Directors, (i) During the Earnout Period (as such term is
defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the holders of record of the shares of
Series A Preferred Voting Stock, exclusively and as a separate series, shall be entitled
to elect a majority of the directors of the Corporation (the
Series A Directors). Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 6(c), each Series A Director shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock
represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of holders of Series A Voting Preferred
Stock called therefor and entitled to vote on the election of
Series A Directors. The
nomination of persons for election as Series A Directors to the Board of Directors may be
made solely by (A) a holder or holders of Series A Voting Preferred Stock acting by
written consent in lieu of a meeting, or (B) with respect to election at an annual or
special meeting of holders of Series A Voting Preferred Stock at which directors are to
be elected (1) by or at the direction of the Series A Directors or (2) by a holder of
Series A Preferred Voting Stock that is a stockholder of record on the date of its giving
of the notice of such nomination and on the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such annual or
special meeting.
Unless otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designation, each Series A Director
(whenever elected) shall hold office until his or her successor has been duly elected and
qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
(ii) To
the extent the size of the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased, the
requisite number of Series A Directors shall automatically be increased such that Series A
7
Directors constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. For
the avoidance of doubt, at least [two (2)] of the Series A Directors will not have to
meet the director independence requirements set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time
(the Exchange Act), the listing rules of any securities exchange or trading market
applicable to the Corporation or any similar requirements.
(iii) Any Series A Director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be
removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock, given either at a special
meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written
consent of stockholders.
(iv) At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors at which the holders
of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect Series A Directors
as provided herein, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of
the then outstanding shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall be required and be
sufficient to constitute a quorum, of such series for the election of Series A Directors
by such series. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof: (A) (i) the absence of a
quorum of the holders of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall not prevent the
election of directors other than the Series A Directors by other stockholders of the
Corporation and (ii) the absence of a quorum or quorums of such other stockholders shall
not prevent the election of Series A Directors by the holders of the Series A Voting
Preferred Stock, and (B) in the absence of a quorum of the holders of Series A Preferred
Voting Stock, holders of a majority of Series A Preferred Voting Stock present in person
or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of Series A
Directors which the holders of such series are entitled to elect, from time to time,
without notice as to time and place other than announcement at the meeting except as
otherwise provided by law, until a quorum shall be present.
(v) Any vacancy in the office of a Series A Director elected by the holders of
Series A Voting Preferred Stock or any newly created Series A Voting Preferred Stock
directorship may be filled only by (A) with respect to a vacancy occurring between annual
meetings of the Corporation, the remaining Series A Directors to serve (unless otherwise
removed as provided in Section 6(c)(iii)) until such time as the holders of
Series A Voting Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and as a separate series, fill such
directorship pursuant to this Section 6(c) or (B) by the holders of shares of
Series A Voting Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting exclusively
and as a separate series, pursuant to this Section 6(c). If at any
annual meeting or special meeting of the holders of shares of Series A Voting Preferred
Stock called for the purposes of electing Series A Directors, as the case may be, the
holders of shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock fail to elect a sufficient number of
Series A Directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect Series
A Directors, voting exclusively and as a separate series, pursuant to this Section
6(c), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the
holders of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock elect a person to fill such directorship
and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by
the holders of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock.
(vi) The rights of the holders of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock under this
Section 6(c) shall terminate on the first date following the expiration of the
Earnout Period,
8
provided, however, that any Series A Director serving as a director at the time of
the expiration of the Earnout Period shall hold office until his or her successor has
been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or
removal.
7. Organic Changes.
(a) If there is: (1) any division or subdivision (by split, distribution,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination or consolidation (by
reverse split, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class B
Exchangeable Units, the Corporation shall cause it to be accompanied by an identical
proportionate division, subdivision, consolidation or combination of the Common Stock; or
(2) any division or subdivision (by split, distribution, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) or combination or consolidation (by reverse split,
reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Stock, the Corporation and
Crumbs shall cause it to be accompanied by an identical proportionate division,
subdivision, consolidation or combination of the Class B Exchangeable Units. Furthermore
any such event shall be accompanied by either (i) an identical proportionate division,
subdivision, consolidation or combination of the Series A Voting Preferred Stock or (ii)
an equitable proportionate adjustment of the Preferred Stock Voting Multiple, in either
case to ensure such event does not adversely affect the voting power of the Series A
Voting Preferred Stock or the holders ability to transfer or exchange such stock.
(b) In the event of any merger, acquisition, reorganization, consolidation, or
liquidation of the Corporation or any reclassification or other similar transaction as a
result of which the shares of Common Stock are converted into another security involving
a payment or distribution of cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common
Stock (a Fundamental Transaction), the Class B Exchangeable Units and the Series A
Voting Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and the exchange provisions of the
Exchange and Support Agreement shall thereafter permit the exchange of Class B
Exchangeable Units for the amount of such cash, securities or other assets which an
Exchanging Member would have received had it made an exchange for Common Stock
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, regardless of whether such exchange
would actually have been permitted at such time.
8.
Waiver.
Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series A Preferred
Voting Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series A Voting
Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least two
thirds of the shares of Series A Voting Prefered Stock then outstanding.
9. Transfer Restrictions
Except as otherwise provided by the Escrow Agreement, this Certificate of
Designation, including without limitation Section 4(c), or by operation of law, no holder
of Series A Voting Preferred Stock may transfer, and the Corporation shall not register
the transfer of, any shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock, whether by sale,
assignment, gift, bequest, appointment or otherwise, unless such shares of Series A
Voting Preferred Stock are transferred together with a
9
number of Class B Exchangeable Units then exchangeable into a number of shares of
Common Stock of the Corporation equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock being transferred divided by the Preferred Stock Voting Multiple then in effect.
10. No Other Rights.
The shares of Series A Voting Preferred Stock shall not have any powers,
designations, preferences or relative, participating, optional, or other special rights,
nor shall there be any qualifications, limitations or restrictions or any powers,
designations, preferences or rights of such shares, other than as set forth herein or in
the Certificate of Incorporation, or as may be provided by law.
