1.    Any transfer, or attempted or purported transfer, of any shares of the Capital Stock of the Corporation or any interest therein or right thereof, that would result in the beneficial ownership by Non-Citizens, individually or in the aggregate, of shares of Capital Stock in excess

of the Permitted Amount will, until such excess no longer exists, be void and ineffective as against the Corporation, and neither the Corporation nor its transfer agent (if any) shall register such transfer, or attempted or purported transfer, on the Capital Stock Register of the Corporation, and neither the Corporation nor its transfer agent (if any) shall recognize, with respect to those shares that caused the Permitted Amount to be exceeded, the transferee or purported transferee as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose (including for purposes of voting, dividends and other distributions) except to the extent necessary to effect any remedy available to the Corporation under this Article EIGHTH. In no event shall any such registration or recognition make such transfer, or attempted or purported transfer, effective unless the Board of Directors (or any executive committee or other committee constituted with similar authority to that of an executive committee) shall have expressly and specifically authorized the same.

2.    In connection with any transfer, or attempted or purported transfer, of shares of Capital Stock, any transferee or proposed transferee (including any recipient upon original issuance) of shares and, if such transferee or proposed transferee (or recipient) is acting as a fiduciary or nominee for a beneficial owner, such beneficial owner, may be required by the Corporation or its transfer agent to deliver a citizenship certification and such other documentation and information concerning its citizenship under subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH as the Corporation may request in its sole discretion.

D.    Dual Stock Certificate System.

1.    The Corporation may institute a “Dual Stock Certificate System” such that (a) each Certificate representing Capital Stock that is beneficially owned by a Citizen shall be marked “Citizen” and each Certificate representing Capital Stock that is beneficially owned by a Non-Citizen shall be marked “Non-Citizen,” but with all such Certificates to be identical in all other respects and to comply with all provisions of the DGCL; (b) an application to transfer shares shall be set forth on the back of each Certificate, in which a Person seeking to take title to the Capital Stock represented by such Certificate shall apply to the Corporation to transfer the number of shares indicated therein and shall certify as to its citizenship and the citizenship of any beneficial owner for whom or for whose account such Person will hold such shares; (c) a certification (which may include as part thereof a form of affidavit) upon which the Corporation and its transfer agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively shall be required to be submitted by each Person to whom or on whose behalf a Certificate is to be issued (whether upon transfer or original issuance) stating whether such Person or, if such Person is acting as custodian, nominee, purchaser representative or in any other capacity for an owner, whether such owner, is a Citizen; and (d) the Capital Stock Register of the Corporation shall be maintained in such manner as to enable the percentage of Capital Stock that is beneficially owned by Non-Citizens and by Citizens to be confirmed.

2.    Beneficial owners of Certificates bearing notation as Non-Citizen and Citizen shall have in all respects the same corporate status and corporate rights regarding Capital Stock of the same class or series, share for share, except that transfers of the Certificates bearing the Citizen notation to Non-Citizens shall be restricted as herein provided and violations of the provisions of this Article EIGHTH shall be dealt with in the manner set forth herein. The Board of Directors (or any executive committee or other committee constituted with similar authority to that of an executive committee) is authorized to take such other ministerial actions or make such interpretations as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to implement this Dual Stock Certificate System in a manner consistent with the policies set forth in this Article EIGHTH.

E.    Excess Shares.

1.    If on any date, including, without limitation, any record date (each, an “Excess Share Date”), the number of shares of Capital Stock beneficially owned by Non-Citizens should exceed the Permitted Amount, irrespective of the date on which such event becomes known to the Corporation (such shares in excess of the Permitted Amount, the “Excess Shares”), then the shares of such Capital Stock of the Corporation that constitute Excess Shares for purposes of this Article EIGHTH shall be (a) those shares that have been acquired by or become beneficially owned by Non-Citizens, starting with the most recent acquisition of beneficial ownership of such shares by a Non-Citizen and including, in reverse chronological order of acquisition, all other acquisitions of beneficial ownership of such shares by Non-Citizens from and after the acquisition of beneficial ownership of such shares by a Non-Citizen that first caused such Permitted Amount to be exceeded, or (b) those shares beneficially owned by Non-Citizens that exceed the Permitted Amount as the result of any repurchase or redemption by the Corporation of shares of its Capital Stock, starting with the most recent acquisition of beneficial ownership of such shares by a Non-Citizen and going in reverse chronological order of acquisition; provided, however, that: (i) the Corporation shall have the sole power to determine, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, those shares that constitute Excess Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Article EIGHTH; (ii) the Corporation may, in its reasonable discretion, rely on any reasonable documentation provided by Non-Citizens with respect to the date and time of their acquisition of beneficial ownership of Excess Shares; (iii) if the acquisition of beneficial ownership of more than one Excess Share occurs on the same date and the time of acquisition is not definitively established, then the order in which such acquisitions shall be deemed to have occurred on such date shall be determined by lot or by such other method as the Corporation may, in its reasonable discretion, deem appropriate; (iv) Excess Shares that result from a determination that a beneficial owner has ceased to be a Citizen shall be deemed to have been acquired, for purposes of this Article EIGHTH, as of the date that such beneficial owner ceased to be a Citizen; and (v) the Corporation may adjust upward to the nearest whole share the number of shares of such class or series deemed to be Excess Shares. Any determination made by the Corporation pursuant to this subparagraph E as to which shares of Capital Stock constitute Excess Shares shall be conclusive and shall be deemed effective as of the applicable Excess Share Date.

F.    Redemption of Excess Shares.

1.    In the event that (a) subparagraph C of this Article EIGHTH would not be effective for any reason to prevent the transfer of beneficial ownership of any Excess Shares to a Non-Citizen, (b) a change in the status of a Person from a Citizen to a Non-Citizen causes a share of Capital Stock of which such Person is the beneficial owner to constitute an Excess Share, (c) any repurchase or redemption by the Corporation of shares of its Capital Stock causes any share of Capital Stock of the Corporation beneficially owned by Non-Citizens to exceed the Permitted Amount, or (d) the original issuance by the Corporation of a share of Capital Stock of the Corporation to a Non-Citizen results in such share constituting an Excess Share, then, the

Corporation, by action of the Board of Directors (or any executive committee or other committee constituted with similar authority to that of an executive committee), in its sole discretion, shall have the power to redeem, unless such redemption is not permitted under the DGCL or other provisions of applicable law, such Excess Share; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not have any obligation under this subparagraph F to redeem any one or more Excess Shares.

2.    Until such time as any Excess Shares subject to redemption by the Corporation pursuant to this subparagraph F are so redeemed by the Corporation at its option and beginning on the first Excess Share Date for the classes or series of the Capital Stock of which such Excess Shares are a part,

Full voting rights shall be restored to any shares of Capital Stock of the Corporation that were previously deemed to be Excess Shares, and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto that have been previously paid into an escrow account shall be due and paid solely to the holders of record of such shares, promptly after such time as, and to the extent that, such shares have ceased to be Excess Shares (including as a result of the sale of such shares to a Citizen prior to the issuance of a Redemption Notice pursuant to section 3 of this subparagraph F of this Article EIGHTH), provided, however, that such shares have not been already redeemed by the Corporation at its option pursuant to this subparagraph F.

3.    The terms and conditions of redemptions by the Corporation of Excess Shares of Capital Stock under this subparagraph F shall be as follows:

4.    Nothing in this subparagraph F of Article EIGHTH shall prevent the recipient of a Redemption Notice from transferring its shares before the Redemption Date if such transfer is otherwise permitted under this Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law and the recipient provides notice of such proposed transfer to the Board of Directors along with the documentation and information required under subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH establishing that such proposed transferee is a Citizen to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion before the Redemption Date. If such conditions are met, the Board of Directors shall withdraw the Redemption Notice related to such shares, but otherwise the redemption thereof shall proceed on the Redemption Date in accordance with this subparagraph and the Redemption Notice.

G.    Citizenship Determinations. The Corporation shall have the power to determine, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment and with the advice of counsel, the citizenship of the beneficial owners and the transferees or proposed transferees of any class or series of the Capital Stock for the purposes of this Article EIGHTH. In determining the citizenship of the beneficial owners or their transferees or proposed transferees or, in the case of original issuance, any recipient (and, if such transferees, proposed transferees or recipients are acting as fiduciaries or nominees for any beneficial owners, with respect to such beneficial owners) of any class or series of the Capital Stock, the Corporation may rely on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and the citizenship certifications required under Section 2 of subparagraph C of this Article EIGHTH and the written statements and affidavits required under subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH given by the beneficial owners or their transferees or proposed transferees, or, in the case of original issuance, any recipients (or any beneficial owners for whom such transferees or proposed transferees or recipients are acting as fiduciaries or nominees) (in each case whether such certifications, written statements or affidavits have been given on their own behalf or on behalf of others) to prove the citizenship of such beneficial owners, transferees, proposed transferees or recipients (or any beneficial owners for whom such transferees, proposed transferees or recipients are acting as fiduciaries or nominees). The determination of the citizenship of such beneficial owners, transferees, proposed transferees and recipients (and any beneficial owners for whom such transferees, proposed transferees or recipients are acting as fiduciaries or nominees) may also be subject to proof in such other manner as the Corporation may deem reasonable pursuant to Section 2 of subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH. The determination of the Corporation at any time as to the citizenship of such beneficial owners, transferees, proposed transferees and recipients (and any beneficial owners for whom such transferees, proposed transferees or recipients are acting as fiduciaries or nominees) in accordance with the provisions of Article EIGHTH shall be conclusive.

H.    Requirement to Provide Citizenship Information.

1.    In furtherance of the requirements of subparagraph A of this Article EIGHTH, and without limiting any other provision of this Article EIGHTH, the Corporation may require the beneficial owners of shares of Capital Stock to confirm their citizenship status from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this subparagraph H, and, as a condition to acquiring and having beneficial ownership of shares of Capital Stock, every beneficial owner of any such shares must comply with the following provisions:

2.    The Corporation may at any time require reasonable proof, in addition to the citizenship certifications required under Section 2 of subparagraph C of this Article EIGHTH and the written statements and affidavits required under Section 1 of this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH, of the citizenship of the beneficial owner or the transferee, proposed transferee or, in the case of original issuance, the recipient (and, if such transferee, proposed transferee or recipient is acting as a fiduciary or nominee for a beneficial owner, with respect to such beneficial owner) of shares of any class or series of the Capital Stock.

3.    In the event that (a) the Corporation requests in writing (in which express reference is made to this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH) from a beneficial owner of shares of any class or series of the Capital Stock a citizenship certification required under Section 2 of this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH, a written statement, an affidavit and/or reasonable documentation required under Section 1 of this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH, and/or additional proof of citizenship required under Section 2 of this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH, and (b) such beneficial owner fails to provide the Corporation with the requested documentation by the date set forth in such written request, then (i) the voting rights of such beneficial owner’s shares of the Capital Stock shall be suspended, and (ii) any dividends or other distributions (upon liquidation or otherwise) with respect to such shares shall be paid into an escrow account, until such requested documentation is submitted in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, subject to the other provisions of this Article EIGHTH; provided, however, that the Corporation, acting through its Board of Directors (or any executive committee or other committee constituted with similar authority to that of an executive committee), shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to extend the date by which such requested documentation must be provided and/or to waive the application of sub-clauses (i) and/or (ii) of this clause (b) to any of the shares of such beneficial owner in any particular instance.

4.    In the event that (a) the Corporation requests in writing (in which express reference is made to this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH) from the transferee or proposed transferee of, or, in the case of original issuance, the recipient (and, if such transferee, proposed transferee or recipient is acting as a fiduciary or nominee for a beneficial owner, with respect to such beneficial owner) of, shares of any class or series of the Capital Stock a citizenship certification required under Section 2 of subparagraph C of this Article EIGHTH, a written statement, an affidavit and/or reasonable documentation required under Section 1 of this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH, and/or additional proof of citizenship required under Section 2 of this subparagraph H of this Article EIGHTH, and (b) such Person fails to submit the requested documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, subject to the other provisions of this Article EIGHTH, by the date set forth in such written request, the Corporation, acting through its Board of Directors (or any executive committee or other committee constituted with similar authority to that of an executive committee), shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to refuse to accept any application to transfer ownership of such shares (if any) or to register such shares on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and may prohibit and/or void such transfer, including by placing a stop order with the Corporation’s transfer agent, until such requested documentation is so submitted and the Corporation is satisfied that the proposed transfer of shares will not result in Excess Shares.

I.    Severability. Each provision of this Article EIGHTH is intended to be severable from every other provision. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Article EIGHTH is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Article EIGHTH shall not be affected, and this Article EIGHTH shall be construed as if the provisions held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable had never been contained herein.

J.    NYSE Transactions. Nothing in this Article EIGHTH shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange or any other National Securities Exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system for so long as any class or series of the Capital Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other National Securities Exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any provision of this Article EIGHTH and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article EIGHTH.

NINTH.

A.    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, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. 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 modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B.    The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

C.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify any person with respect to any expenses, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, payments, fines, penalties, awards or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) or to advance any expenses of such person, in each case, that arise from facts and circumstances occurring, or actions taken, prior to the date of adoption of this Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that any person covered by any run-off policy or policies of directors’ and officers’, employee practices and fiduciary liability insurance procured by the Corporation shall be entitled to indemnification of Losses and advancement of expenses, in each case, that arise from facts and circumstances occurring, or actions taken, prior to the date of adoption of this Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation, but only to the extent indemnification for such Losses or advancement of such expenses is covered by such policy or policies, from the date of adoption of this Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation until the sixth anniversary of such date.

TENTH.

Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of the DGCL or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of the DGCL order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

ELEVENTH.

A.    Each stockholder (who is not also an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), each member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof (other than an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), each member of any board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body of any subsidiary of the Corporation (other than an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), and any one or more of the respective affiliates, managers, directors principals, officers, employees and other representatives of each such stockholder, member of the Board of Directors (or committee thereof) or member of any board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body of any subsidiary of the Corporation who is not (in any such case) also an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (the foregoing persons being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, each individually, as an “Identified Person”) may now engage, may continue to engage, or may, in the future, decide to engage, in the same or similar activities or lines of business as those in which the Corporation or any of its affiliates, directly or indirectly, now engage or may engage or other business activities that overlap with, are complementary to, or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its affiliates, directly or indirectly, now engage or may engage (any such activity or line of business, an “Opportunity”). No Identified Person shall have any duty to refrain, directly or indirectly, from (1) engaging in any Opportunity or (2) otherwise competing

with the Corporation or any of its affiliates.
