Section 4.1 Authorized Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,510,000,000, consisting of three classes as follows:
(a) 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”);
(b) 500,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”); and
(c) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).
Upon the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Reclassification Effective Time”) each share of Class A Common Stock (as defined in the Prior Certificate) (the “Old Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding or held in

treasury immediately prior to the Reclassification Effective Time, shall be automatically reclassified into one share of Class B Common Stock without any further action by the Corporation or the holder of any such share. No fractional shares of Class B Common Stock shall be deliverable upon the reclassification of the Old Class A Common Stock provided for in this paragraph. Stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Class B Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the reclassification of the Old Class A Common Stock), in lieu of receipt of such fractional share, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the fair value of such fractional share as of the Reclassification Effective Time as determined by the Board of Directors. Any fractional share in respect of shares held in treasury by the Corporation (after aggregating all fractional shares that would otherwise be held in treasury as result of the reclassification of the Old Class A Common Stock) as a result of the reclassification of the Old Class A Common Stock provided for in this paragraph shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid therefor. All share numbers, dollar amounts and other provisions set forth herein give effect to the reclassification of the Old Class A Common Stock provided for in this paragraph. Each stock certificate representing shares of Old Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Reclassification Effective Time shall be surrendered to the Corporation and, upon such surrender, the shares of Class B Common Stock into which the Old Class A Common Stock were reclassified shall be uncertificated shares.
Section 4.2 Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the DGCL (such certificate being hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the powers (including voting powers), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of any series of Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter except as shall expressly be granted thereto by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Sunset Date (as defined below), the Board of Directors shall not issue Preferred Stock which shall entitle the record holders thereof as of the applicable record date to more than one (1) vote per share, on an as if converted basis, in person or by proxy on any matter submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, whether voting separately as a class or otherwise, without the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
Section 4.3 Number of Authorized Shares. Notwithstanding Article VIII of this Certificate of Incorporation, the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) without a separate vote of any holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Preferred Stock, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, and only such vote, if any, required by Section 242(d) of the DGCL shall be required in connection therewith, unless a separate vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Preferred Stock Designation.

Section 4.4 Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the powers, preferences and rights of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, shall be identical in all respects.

(i) each share of Class A Common Stock shall entitle the record holder thereof as of the applicable record date to one (1) vote per share in person or by proxy on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock, whether voting separately as a class or otherwise.
(ii) each share of Class B Common Stock shall entitle the record holder thereof as of the applicable record date to ten (10) votes per share in person or by proxy on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock, whether voting separately as a class or otherwise.
(iii) the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class (and, if any holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class, with such holders of Preferred Stock) on all matters submitted to a vote of all of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.
(iv) subject to Section 4.2, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) 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 Preferred Stock Designation).
(v) there shall be no cumulative voting.
(b) Dividends and Distributions. Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and any consent required by Section 14.1, dividends may be declared and paid on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock out of the assets or funds of the Corporation that are by law available therefor, at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors in its discretion shall determine. Dividends may not be declared or paid (x) on the Class A Common Stock unless a dividend of the same amount per share and same type of cash or property (or combination thereof) per share is concurrently declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock or (y) on the Class B Common Stock unless a dividend of the same amount per share and same type of cash or property (or combination thereof) per share is concurrently declared or paid on the Class A Common Stock; provided, however, in the event any dividend is declared or paid in-kind in shares of Class A Common Stock or shares of Class B Common Stock (or other securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into such shares), as applicable, then the holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive such dividend only in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into such shares) and the holders of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive such dividend only in the form of shares of Class B Common Stock (or other securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into such shares) (provided, any such dividend shall be required to be declared and paid at the same rate on the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock).
3

(c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and after making provisions for preferential and other amounts, if any, to which the holders of Preferred Stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to payments in liquidation shall be entitled, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution shall be divided among and paid ratably to the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder. A consolidation, reorganization, merger or conversion of the Corporation with any other Person or Persons (as defined below), or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not be considered to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 4.4(c).
(d) Adjustments for Stock Splits or Combinations.
(i) If at any time the Corporation effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall simultaneously effect an equivalent subdivision of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Class B Common Stock. If at any time the Corporation effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall simultaneously effect an equivalent subdivision of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
(ii) If at any time the Corporation effects a combination of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the Corporation shall simultaneously effect an equivalent combination of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class B Common Stock. If at any time the Corporation effects a combination of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall simultaneously effect an equivalent combination of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock.
(e) Class B Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock may be issued only to, and registered only in the name of, a ULSE Company.
Section 4.5 Conversions of Class B Common Stock.
(a) Voluntary Conversion. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at the office of Corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock. Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock, he, she or it shall (i) if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate(s) 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), duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Common Stock, and (ii) give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees (i) in which such holder wishes the Class A Common Stock and certificate or certificates for such shares of Class A Common Stock (if such shares of Class A Common Stock are to be certificated) to be issued or (ii) in which such shares of
4

Class A Common Stock are to be registered in book entry (if such shares of Class A Common Stock are uncertificated). If required by the Corporation, such holder shall furnish, in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, a written instrument or instruments of transfer, duly executed by the holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the conversion of such shares, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates (if such shares are to be certificated) or a book entry or book entries (if such shares are to be uncertificated) for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock so surrendered were converted and a certificate (if such shares are to be certificated) or a book entry or book entries (if such shares are to be uncertificated) for the number (if any) of the shares of Class B Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificate or a book entry or book entries that were not converted into Class A Common Stock.
(b) Mandatory Conversion. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the earlier of (i) the Transfer of such share if, after such Transfer, such share is not Beneficially Owned by a ULSE Company, and (ii) the Sunset Date. The Board of Directors may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind, by bylaw or otherwise, regulations and procedures not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.5 for determining whether any Transfer or acquisition of shares of Class B Common Stock is being made to a Person that is not a ULSE Company, and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of the provisions of this Section 4.5. Any such procedures and regulations shall be kept on file with the Secretary of the Corporation and with the transfer agent and shall be made available for inspection by and, upon written request shall be provided to, any requesting holders of shares of Class B Common Stock.
(c) Record Holders. The Persons entitled to shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of Class B Common Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of the date of conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Incorporation, if the date on which any share of Class B Common Stock is converted into Class A Common Stock occurs after the record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to receive any dividend or distribution to be paid on the shares of Class B Common Stock, the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock as of such record date will be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution on such payment date; provided, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, to the extent that any such dividend or distribution is payable in shares of Class B Common Stock (or other securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into such shares), such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable in, shares of Class A Common Stock (or other securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into such shares) and no shares of Class B Common Stock (or other securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into such shares) shall be issued in payment thereof.
(d) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Class B Common Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holders of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including engaging in commercially reasonable
5

efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.
(e) Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation, the shares so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued by the Corporation, such shares shall automatically be retired and the Corporation shall take action to file a certificate of retirement or otherwise amend this Certificate of Incorporation to effect the corresponding reduction in the Corporation’s authorized capital stock.
(f) Taxes Payable. The Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any Transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Class B Common 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 or is not otherwise payable.
Section 4.6 Certificates; Notice. All certificates representing shares of Class B Common Stock shall bear a legend substantially in the following form (or in such other form as the Board of Directors may determine):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS (INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER) SET FORTH IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION AS IT MAY BE AMENDED AND/OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER MAKING A REQUEST THEREFOR).
All holders of uncertificated shares of Class B Common Stock shall be given notice within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares of such stock, in writing or by electronic transmission, that the Class B Common Stock represented by book entry or book entries are subject to the restrictions (including restrictions on transfer) set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time (a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be provided free of charge to any stockholder making a request therefor)
Section 4.7 Fractions. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be deliverable upon any conversion contemplated by this Section 4. Stockholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive any fractional share of Class A Common Stock pursuant to a conversion contemplated by this Section 4, in lieu of receipt of such fractional interest, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation an amount in cash equal to the fair value of such fractional share (after aggregating all fractions shares such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive) as of the time of conversion.
Section 4.8 Equal Treatment in a Change of Control Transaction. In any Change of Control Transaction, the consideration received per share by the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the holders of the Class B Common Stock in such Change of Control Transaction shall be identical; provided, however, that if such consideration consists, in whole or in part, of shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Corporation or any other corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, then the powers, designations, preferences and relative, common, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of such shares of capital stock or other equity interests may differ to the extent that the powers, designations, preferences and relative, common, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock differ as provided herein (including with respect to the
6

voting rights and conversion provisions hereof); and provided further, that, if the holders of the Class A Common Stock or the holders of the Class B Common Stock are granted the right to elect to receive one of two or more alternative forms of consideration, the foregoing provision shall be deemed satisfied if holders of the other class are granted identical election rights. Any consideration to be paid to or received by holders of Class A Common Stock or holders of Class B Common Stock pursuant to any employment, consulting, severance, non-competition or other similar arrangement approved by the Board of Directors, or any duly authorized committee thereof, shall not be considered to be “consideration received per share” for purposes of the foregoing provision, regardless of whether such consideration is paid in connection with, or conditioned upon the completion of, such Change of Control Transaction.
ARTICLE V
Subject to any consent required by Section 14.1 and any additional vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter, amend or rescind the Bylaws of the Corporation (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”). The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, repeal, alter, amend or rescind the Bylaws. In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), and subject to any consent required by Section 14.1, such adoption, repeal, alteration, amendment or rescission of the Bylaws by the stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Voting Stock; provided, however, that from and after the Sunset Date, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), and subject to any consent required by Section 14.1, the adoption, repeal, alteration, amendment or rescission of the Bylaws by the stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Voting Stock.
ARTICLE VI
Section 6.1 Ballot. Elections of directors (each such director, in such capacity, a “Director”) need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
Section 6.2 Number and Terms of the Board of Directors. Subject to Section 14.1(i) and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances (such directors, “Preferred Stock Directors”), the total number of Directors constituting the entire Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board.
Section 6.3 Classes of Directors. Subject to the rights set forth in Section 6.7 and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect Preferred Stock Directors, from and after the Sunset Date, the Directors of the Corporation shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such Directors. The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the Sunset Date; the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the Sunset Date; and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting following the Sunset Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the Sunset Date, the successors of the class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to a class at the Sunset Date.

Section 6.4 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights set forth in Section 6.7 and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding in respect of Preferred Stock Directors, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled only by a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, and not by the stockholders. Any Director appointed to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the Director whom he or she has replaced and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified.
Section 6.5 Removal. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding in respect of Preferred Stock Directors and the Stockholder Agreement, from and after the Sunset Date, any Director may be removed only for cause and only by an affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the Voting Stock at a meeting duly called for that purpose.
Section 6.6 Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect Preferred Stock Directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) applicable thereto. Notwithstanding Section 6.2, the number of Directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section 6.2, and the total number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect Preferred Stock Directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such Preferred Stock Directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such Preferred Stock Directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such Director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a Director) and the total authorized number of Directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.
Section 6.7 ULSE Directors.
(a) Designation Rights. ULSE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate for election to the Board of Directors, a number of designees as follows:
(i) Until the Sunset Date, ULSE shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board of Directors in any applicable election four (4) individuals;
(ii) If, after the Sunset Date, the ULSE Companies Beneficially Own shares of Voting Stock representing, in the aggregate, twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock, ULSE shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board of Directors in any applicable election two (2) individuals;
(iii) If, after the Sunset Date, the ULSE Companies Beneficially Own shares of Voting Stock representing, in the aggregate, ten percent (10%) or more, but less than twenty percent (20%), of the voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock, ULSE shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board of Directors in any applicable election one (1) individual; and
8

(iv) If, after the Sunset Date, the ULSE Companies no longer Beneficially Own shares of Voting Stock representing, in the aggregate, ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding Voting Stock, ULSE shall not be entitled to designate any individuals for nomination by the Board of Directors pursuant to the rights afforded to ULSE under this Section 6.7(a).
Each individual whom ULSE shall designate pursuant to this Section 6.7(a)(i)-(iii) and who is thereafter elected to serve as a Director shall be referred to herein as a “ULSE Director.” ULSE shall designate each ULSE Director for nomination by delivering to the Corporation a written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the one year anniversary of the filing of the definitive proxy for the preceding annual meeting (or such shorter period as is agreed in writing by the Corporation) setting forth the individual to be nominated and such individual’s business address, telephone number and e-mail address; provided, that if ULSE shall fail to deliver such written notice, ULSE shall be deemed to have designated the ULSE Director(s) whose term is expiring. An individual designated by ULSE for nomination as a director (A) shall comply with the Corporation’s duly adopted policies and procedures, including applicable fiduciary duties, applicable to all Directors and (B) shall be independent in accordance with any applicable requirements under Securities Laws or stock exchange rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors determines, in good faith, that a particular ULSE designee does not satisfy (i) all legal or exchange listing requirements for service as a Director, (ii) any requirements set forth in the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines or similar reasonable criteria applicable to all Directors, or (iii) the requirements set forth in this paragraph of Section 6.7(a), then the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the Corporation’s receipt of the notice described in this Section 6.7(a)) inform ULSE of such determination in writing and ULSE shall be entitled to designate a new person as a ULSE designee in accordance with this Section 6.7(a).
For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any person designated by ULSE pursuant to Section 6.7(a)(i)-(iii), ULSE shall only be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.7(a) and shall not be required to comply with the advance notice provision of the Bylaws. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.7(a) to the contrary, ULSE may also directly nominate individuals to serve on the Board of Directors pursuant to and in accordance with the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws.
(b) Vacancies. For so long as ULSE is entitled to designate persons for nomination to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 6.7(a), in the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal (with or without cause) of any ULSE Director, the vacancy so created may be filled solely by ULSE and may not be filled by the Board of Directors or any other person.
(c) Board Leadership. Until the Sunset Date, the positions of Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and Chair of the Board of Directors shall not be held by the same individual.
(d) Committees. For so long as ULSE is entitled to designate at least two (2) individuals for nomination to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 6.7(a), any committee of the Board of Directors shall include at least one (1) ULSE Director identified by ULSE to serve on such committee (subject to any applicable requirements under Securities Laws or stock exchange rules). If ULSE is entitled to designate only one (1) individual for nomination to the Board of Directors, such individual may serve on up to two (2) committees of the Board of Directors, each such committee to be at ULSE’s choosing.
9

(e) Additional Obligations.
(i) The Corporation agrees to take action to (A) cause the individuals designated in accordance with Section 6.7(a) to be included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting and proxy materials; (B) nominate each such individual to be elected as a director as provided herein; and (C) solicit proxies or consents; in each case in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, Securities Laws, the DGCL and applicable stock exchange rules.
(ii) If at any time the Board of Directors shall become classified in accordance with Section 6.3, the ULSE Directors shall be apportioned among the three classes of Directors as nearly equal in number as possible, and any remaining ULSE Directors will be designated a Class III Director, in each case unless otherwise requested by ULSE.
Section 6.8 Notice. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for election of Directors and other business to be brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner provided by the Bylaws.
ARTICLE VII
Section 7.1 Action without a Meeting. Prior to the Sunset Date, any action that is required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding Voting Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Voting Stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. From and after the Sunset Date, subject to the rights of the holders of series of Preferred Stock, no action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting or by consent.
Section 7.2 Special Meetings. Prior to the Sunset Date, special meetings of stockholders may be called by or at the direction of the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors and shall be called by the chairperson of the Board of Directors at the written request of ULSE. From and after the Sunset Date, subject to the rights of the holders of series of Preferred Stock and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of the Board of Directors. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.
ARTICLE VIII
Except with respect to the adoption and filing of any Preferred Stock Designation in accordance with Article IV, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) and any consent required by Section 14.1, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Certificate of Incorporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Voting Stock, provided, however, that from and after the Sunset Date, except with respect to Articles I, II and III and the adoption and filing of any Preferred Stock Designation in accordance with Article IV, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) and any consent required by Section 14.1, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Certificate of Incorporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Voting Stock, provided further
10
