B stock may only be transferred to a permitted transferee as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, (iii) Class B Stock is
convertible into Common Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation and (iv) any amendment of the Certificate of

will receive Common Stock and Class B Stock, respectively, while holders of Class A Common Stock will receive Class A Common Stock, in

distribution to holders of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Stock. In no event will shares of Common Stock, Class A Common
Stock or Class B Stock be split, divided or combined unless all such classes are split, divided, or combined equally. Central Garden & Pet
