(a) on the Closing Date, prior to the consummation of the Merger, pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Plan of Arrangement and in accordance with the OBCA, at the Arrangement Effective Time, the Company shall effect steps a through g of Section 3.1 of the Plan of Arrangement pursuant to which, among other things, all of the outstanding Company Common Shares will be acquired by Amalgamation Sub in the manner set forth in the Plan of Arrangement;

(c) on the Closing Date, pursuant to Section 2.3 and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Subsequent Merger Effective Time but after the Merger Effective Time, Holdings and Parent shall consummate the Subsequent Merger.

Section 2.2 The Merger.

(a) The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), on the Closing Date at the Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Parent. At the Merger Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and Parent shall continue as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings.

(b) Merger Effective Time.

(i) On the Closing Date, Parent shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger, in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Xxxxxx has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as may be agreed by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Merger Effective Time”).

(ii) The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Merger Effective Time, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and all of the assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Parent and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Parent and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company, in each case as provided under the DGCL.

(c) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Merger Effective Time, (i) by virtue of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation of Parent, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto and (ii) the Parent Parties shall take all necessary actions so that the bylaws of Parent, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, shall be amended and restated so that they read in their entirety the same as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (except that all references in the bylaws of Merger Sub to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by references to the name of Parent as provided in its bylaws immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time), in each case until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(d) Directors and Officers of Surviving Company. The Parent Parties shall take all necessary actions so that the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be installed as the directors of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed, elected and qualified, as the case may be. The Parent Parties shall take all necessary actions so that the officers of Xxxxxx Sub immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be installed as the officers of the Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

(e) Effect on Capital Stock.

(i) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time held by Holdings, and all rights in respect thereof, shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company, which shall be held directly by Holdings (and, immediately after the Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall be a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings).

(ii) Cancellation of Parent‑Owned Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties, each Parent Common Share that is owned by Parent as treasury stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(iii) Conversion of Parent Common Shares. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties:

(A) The issued and outstanding Parent Common Shares as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.2(e)(ii)) shall be converted into a number of Holdings Class A Common Shares and a number of Holdings Class B Common Shares (such Holdings Class A Common Shares and Holdings Class B Common Shares, collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), such that, as a result of the Merger, the Parent Shareholder holds, as of immediately following the Closing (including completion of the Arrangement Effective Time, the Merger Effective Time and the Subsequent Merger Effective Time), an aggregate number of Holdings Class A Common Shares and Holdings Class B Common Shares comprising 57.0% of the aggregate Fully Diluted Holdings Common Shares, with such Merger Consideration allocated between Holdings Class A Common Shares and Holdings Class B Common Shares in a manner so as to result in the Initial Parent Shareholder holding, as of such time, 49.0% of the aggregate Holdings Class A Common Shares and a number of Holdings Class B Common Shares that (assuming the full conversion thereof into Holdings Class A Common Shares at such time), when taken together with the Holdings Class A Common Shares included in the Merger Consideration held by the Parent Shareholder, represent 57.0% of the aggregate Fully Diluted Holdings Common Shares, in each case as determined in good faith by Holdings and the Company; provided, however, in the event the Initial Parent Shareholder holding a greater number of Holdings Class A Common Shares would not result in a “Change of Control” under the Company Indentures (including as a result of the operation of the immediately succeeding clause herein) as of the Closing, the Initial Parent Shareholder may, by written notice to Holdings prior to the Closing, elect to receive such greater number of Holdings Class A Common Shares in lieu of a corresponding number of Holdings Class B Common Shares; provided, further, that in the event the Parent Shareholder consists of more than one Person prior to the Merger Effective Time, then the portion of any Merger Consideration (x) consisting of Holdings Class B Common Shares that the Parent Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be entirely allocated to the Initial Parent Shareholder and no shares of Holdings Class B Common Shares shall be allocated to any Subsequent Parent Shareholder and (y) consisting of Holdings Class A Common Shares that the Parent Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be allocated among the Initial Parent Shareholder and each Subsequent Parent Shareholder on a pro rata basis based on the number of Parent Common Shares held by each such holder as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, after accounting for the allocation set forth in the preceding clause (x).

(B) All such Parent Common Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the Parent Shareholder shall cease to have any rights with respect to any such Parent Common Shares, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.2(e)(iv).

(C) At least three and no more than five Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate of the Company signed by an executive officer of the Company, and that is reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth, as of the date and time of the delivery of such certificate, the number of Fully Diluted Company Common Shares (the “Company Calculation Certificate”). Prior to the Closing, and without prejudice to the Initial Parent Shareholder’s rights under Section 2.2(e)(iii)(F), Parent shall be entitled to review, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments from Parent with respect to, the Company Calculation Certificate, and the Company shall, to the extent such comments from Parent are reasonable, deliver to Parent an updated version of such certificate reflecting any changes agreed to in writing (which may be via electronic mail) between the Company and Parent and such updated certificate shall be considered the Company Calculation Certificate for all purposes hereunder.

(D) Based on the Company Calculation Certificate, the Parties shall calculate (I) the number of Fully Diluted Holdings Common Shares (calculated giving effect to the Mergers and the Arrangement as if they had each occurred immediately prior to such time (it being understood that such number is intended to be identical to the number determined pursuant to the Company Calculation Certificate)) and (II) the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares and Holdings Class B Common Shares comprising the Merger Consideration (the “Merger Consideration Calculation”).

(E) From and after the delivery of the Company Calculation Certificate, the Company shall take such actions as are necessary such that the numbers set forth in the Company Calculation Certificate do not change including, for the avoidance of doubt, not issuing any Company Common Shares or Equity Interests of the Company, and suspending the ability to exercise any Company Options and any other rights to purchase Company Common Shares or Equity Interests of the Company.

(F) If, at any time prior to the date that is 90 days from the Closing Date, either the Initial Parent Shareholder or the Company provides written notice to the other that it believes there was an inaccuracy in the Company Calculation Certificate or the Merger Consideration Calculation such that the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares or Holdings Class B Common Shares issued to the Parent Shareholder or the Company Shareholders at the Closing was not consistent with the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares or Holdings Class B Common Shares to which the Parent Shareholder is, or the Company Shareholders are, entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Initial Parent Shareholder and the Company shall work in good faith to agree on the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares and/or Holdings Class B Common Shares comprising the Merger Consideration that, absent such inaccuracy, should have been issued as of the Closing (the “Adjusted Merger Consideration”). As promptly as practicable following such resolution, Holdings shall issue to the Parent Shareholders, or the Parent Shareholders shall surrender to Holdings, as applicable, a number of Holdings Class A Common Shares and/or Holdings Class B Common Shares to reflect the Adjusted Merger Consideration.

(iv) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Holdings Class A Common Shares or Holdings Class B Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Initial Parent Shareholder or any Subsequent Parent Shareholder would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of either Holdings Class A Common Shares or Holdings Class B Common Shares, as applicable, the Initial Parent Shareholder or such Subsequent Parent Shareholder, as applicable, shall instead receive cash in an amount (without interest and rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the product of (A) the fractional share interest to which such Initial Parent Shareholder or Subsequent Parent Shareholder, as applicable, would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account and aggregating the total number of Holdings Class A Common Shares or Holdings Class B Common Shares, as applicable, to which such holder would be entitled) multiplied by (B) the Company Closing Price.

Section 2.3 The Subsequent Merger.

(a) The Subsequent Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, on the Closing Date at the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall be merged with and into Holdings. At the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Company shall cease, and Holdings shall continue as the surviving company in the Subsequent Merger (the “Subsequent Surviving Company”).

(b) Subsequent Merger Effective Time.

(i) On the Closing Date, Holdings shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger, in accordance with, and in such form as is required by the relevant provisions of the DGCL with respect to the Subsequent Merger (the “Subsequent Certificate of Merger”). The Subsequent Merger shall become effective at the time (which shall be after the Merger Effective Time) that the Subsequent Certificate of Xxxxxx has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as may be agreed by the Surviving Company and Holdings and specified in the Subsequent Certificate of Merger in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time the Subsequent Merger becomes effective being the “Subsequent Merger Effective Time”).

(ii) The Subsequent Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Subsequent Certificate of Merger and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, the separate existence of the Surviving Company shall cease and all of the assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Holdings and the Surviving Company shall vest in the Subsequent Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Holdings and the Surviving Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Subsequent Surviving Company, in each case as provided under the DGCL.

(c) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, (i) by virtue of the Subsequent Merger, the certificate of incorporation of Holdings, as in effect immediately prior to the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, shall be amended and restated to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “New Holdings Certificate of Incorporation”) and (ii) the Parent Parties shall take all necessary actions so that the bylaws of Holdings, as in effect immediately prior to the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “New Holdings Bylaws”), in each case until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(d) Directors and Officers of Subsequent Surviving Company. The Parent Parties shall take all necessary actions so that the directors and officers set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Stockholders Agreement or, if not set forth therein, as agreed between Parent and the Company or, if not so agreed, the Persons who are the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Company immediately prior to the Subsequent Effective Time, are installed as the directors and officers, respectively, of the Subsequent Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

(e) Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Subsequent Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Subsequent Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties:

(i) Each issued and outstanding share of the Surviving Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(ii) Each issued and outstanding Holdings Class A Common Share and Holdings Class B Common Share shall be unaffected by the Subsequent Merger and shall remain outstanding as a corresponding share of the Subsequent Surviving Company.

(xiii) subject to the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), for such other matters as Parent may reasonably require.

(e) Court Proceedings. In connection with all Court proceedings relating to obtaining the Interim Order and the Final Order, the Company will diligently pursue, and cooperate with Parent in diligently pursuing, the Interim Order and the Final Order. The Company will provide Parent and its legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon drafts of all materials to be filed with the Court in connection with the Arrangement prior to the service and filing of such materials and shall give reasonable and due consideration to all such comments (provided that all information relating to the Parent Parties and their respective Affiliates included in such materials shall be in form and content satisfactory to Parent, acting reasonably).

The Company will also oppose any proposal from any Person that the Final Order contain any provision inconsistent with this Agreement and consult with Parent with respect to the defense or settlement of any Company Shareholder or derivative proceeding and shall not settle in respect of any such proceeding without Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The Company will from time to time furnish or require that its registrar and transfer agent furnish Holdings or Parent with such additional information, including updated or additional lists of Company Shareholders or other securityholders, information regarding beneficial ownership of Company Common Shares and lists of holdings and other assistance as Holdings or Parent may reasonably request.

The Company and Parent agree to cooperate in the preparation of presentations, if any, to Company Shareholders or other securityholders regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Arrangement, and the Company agrees to consult with Parent in connection with any communication or meeting with Company Shareholders or other securityholders that it may have; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to the Company’s overriding obligations to make any disclosure or filing required by applicable Laws or stock exchange rules; and provided, further, that if the Company is required to make any such disclosure, it shall give Parent and its legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon prior to the dissemination of any such disclosure and shall give reasonable consideration to all such comments; and provided, further, that the restrictions set forth in this sentence shall not prevent the making of any filing or disclosure made or proposed to be made by the Company in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change that is made in compliance with this Agreement.

(k) Rights Agreement. The Company and the Company Board of Directors shall take all action necessary, immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time, to waive or otherwise render inapplicable the application of the Rights Agreement to the Arrangement and to ensure that the Rights Agreement does not interfere with or impede the success of the Arrangement and is terminated as of the Arrangement Effective Time.

Section 2.5 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Holdings, Merger Sub, the Company, Amalgamation Sub and the Depositary (as defined in the Plan of Arrangement) and any other applicable withholding agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person in connection with this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment or delivery under applicable Tax Law. Any amounts that are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. To the extent that amounts are so required under applicable Tax Law to be deducted or withheld from the payment or delivery of consideration to a holder of Parent Common Shares or from the payment or delivery of consideration to a holder of Company Common Shares, Company Equity Awards or other Equity Interests of the Company, the applicable Withholding Agent is hereby authorized to sell such portion of the consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to the applicable holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the applicable Withholding Agent to enable it to comply with any such deduction or withholding requirements; provided that, in such case, the applicable Withholding Agent shall notify such holder of such sale and shall remit (a) the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate Governmental Authority and (b) the remaining net proceeds of such sale (after deduction for the amounts described in clause (a)), if any, to such holder.

Section 2.6 The Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Mergers and the Arrangement shall take place by electronic exchange of executed documents at 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than any conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the Party entitled to the benefits of such conditions at or prior to the Closing), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and Parent. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.7 Parent Shareholder Actions; Preparation of Proxy Statement/Circular.

(a) As soon as practicable upon receipt of the Parent Shareholder Consent, Parent will provide the Company with a copy of the Parent Shareholder Consent.

(d) No filing or mailing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement/Circular will be made by any Party without the consent of the other Parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any filings with the SEC deemed to supplement the Proxy Statement/Circular or any document which forms a part thereof through its incorporation by reference therein.

(e) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement/Circular cleared by the SEC (and, if applicable, any other Governmental Authority) as promptly as practicable. As promptly as practicable after such clearance and after having obtained the Interim Order, the Company shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, cause the Proxy Statement/Circular and other documentation required in connection with the Company Meeting to be sent to such Persons as required by the Interim Order and applicable Laws.

Each Party shall give the other Party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in preparing the proposed response by such Party to comments received from the SEC, any Canadian securities administrator, the TSX or the NYSE or their respective staff and to provide comments on any proposed response thereto, and such Party shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments and shall not respond to the SEC, any Canadian securities administrator, the TSX or the NYSE prior to receiving the approval of the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC, any Canadian securities administrator, the TSX or the NYSE or their respective staff with respect to the Proxy Statement/Circular.

Section 2.8 Company Meeting.

(a) The Company shall duly take all lawful action to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Meeting in accordance with the Company Articles of Incorporation, the Company Bylaws, the Interim Order and applicable Law, as promptly as practicable following the date upon which the SEC clears the Proxy Statement/Circular for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval.

(b) The Company shall, in consultation with Parent, fix and publish the date of the Company Meeting and a record date for the purposes of determining the Company Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Company Meeting.

(c) The Company will promptly advise Parent of any material written or oral communication received after the date of this Agreement from any Company Shareholder or other Person in opposition to the Arrangement, and provide Parent with an opportunity to review and comment upon any written communication sent by or on behalf of the Company to any such Person.

(f) The Company will not change the record date for the Company Shareholders entitled to vote at the Company Meeting in connection with any adjournment or postponement of the Company Meeting unless required by Law or the Interim Order or with the prior written consent of Parent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

If Parent elects to do so, the Company will permit Parent to, at Parent’s sole expense, directly or through a proxy solicitation services firm of its choice, actively solicit proxies in favor of the Arrangement (and against any resolution submitted by any Person that is inconsistent with the Arrangement Resolution and the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and the Company shall disclose in the Proxy Statement/Circular that Parent may make such solicitations if Parent elects to do so. The Company shall, prior to the Company Meeting, keep Parent reasonably informed of the number of proxy votes received in respect of matters to be acted upon at the Company Meeting, and in any event shall provide such number at least on a daily basis on each of the last ten Business Days prior to the date of the Company Meeting and promptly upon the request of Parent or its Representatives.

(i) The Company shall not adjourn, postpone, delay or cancel (or propose for adjournment, postponement, delay or cancellation) the Company Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent; provided that the Company shall be permitted to adjourn, delay or postpone convening the Company Meeting (A) if the failure to adjourn, delay or postpone the Company Meeting would not, based upon the advice of outside legal counsel, allow sufficient time under applicable Law for the distribution of any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Circular, or (B) if as of the time the Company Meeting is scheduled to occur (as set forth in the Interim Order), there are insufficient Company Common Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Meeting, but only until the Company Meeting can be held at which there are a sufficient number of Company Common Shares represented to constitute a quorum; provided that the Company Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than 15 Business Days after the date for which the Company Meeting was originally scheduled; provided, further, that the Company Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date that is on or after ten Business Days prior to the Outside Date. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligations to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Meeting in accordance with this Section 2.8 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal.

Section 2.9 U.S. Securities Law Matters. The Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that, and the Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that, all Subject Securities will be issued by Holdings in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption. In order to ensure the availability of the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and to facilitate Holdings’ compliance with other U.S. Securities Laws, the Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out on the following basis:

(a) the Arrangement will be subject to the approval of the Court;

(b) pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) of this Agreement, prior to the hearing to approve the Interim Order, the Court will be advised as to the intention of the Parties to rely on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to the issuance of all Subject Securities pursuant to the Arrangement, based on the Court’s approval of the Arrangement;

(c) prior to the issuance of the Interim Order, the Company will file with the Court a copy of the proposed text of the Circular together with any other documents required by applicable Law in connection with the Company Meeting;

(d) the Court will be required to satisfy itself as to the substantive and procedural fairness of the Arrangement to the holders of Subject Securities who will be issued Arrangement Issued Securities pursuant to the Arrangement;

(e) the Interim Order approving the Company Meeting will specify that each Person entitled to receive Arrangement Issued Securities pursuant to the Arrangement will have the right to appear before the Court at the hearing of the Court to give approval of the Arrangement so long as they enter an appearance within a reasonable time;

(f) the Company will ensure that each Company securityholder entitled to receive Arrangement Issued Securities pursuant to the Arrangement will be given adequate and appropriate notice advising them of their right to attend the hearing of the Court to give approval to the Arrangement and providing them with sufficient information necessary for them to exercise that right;

(g) all Persons entitled to receive Arrangement Issued Securities pursuant to the Arrangement will be advised that such Arrangement Issued Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Securities Act and will be issued by Holdings in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, and shall be without trading restrictions under the 1933 Securities Act (other than those that would apply under the 1933 Securities Act in certain circumstances to Persons who are, or have been within 90 days of the Arrangement Effective Time, or, on or after the Arrangement Effective Time, become affiliates (as defined by Rule 144 under the 1933 Securities Act) of Holdings);

(h) the Final Order approving the terms and conditions of the Arrangement that is obtained from the Court will expressly state that the Arrangement is approved by the Court as fair and reasonable to all Persons entitled to receive Arrangement Issued Securities pursuant to or in connection with the Arrangement;

(i) holders of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs entitled to receive Holdings Options, Holdings RSUs and Holdings PSUs, respectively, pursuant to the Arrangement will be advised that such Holdings Options, Holdings RSUs and Holdings PSUs, issued pursuant to the Arrangement have not been registered under the 1933 Securities Act and will be issued and exchanged by Holdings in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption, but that such exemption does not exempt the issuance of securities upon the exercise or vesting, as applicable, of such Holdings Options, Holdings RSUs and Holdings PSUs; therefore, the Holdings Common Shares issuable upon exercise or vesting, as applicable, of such Holdings Options, Holdings RSUs and Holdings PSUs, as applicable, cannot be issued in the United States or to a Person in the United States in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption and such Holdings Options, Holdings RSUs and Holdings PSUs may only be exercised or vest, and the underlying Holdings Common Shares issued, pursuant to a then-available exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8;

(j) each holder of Subject Securities will be advised that with respect to Arrangement Issued Securities issued to Persons who are, or have been within 90 days of the Arrangement Effective Time, or, on or after the Arrangement Effective Time become, affiliates (as defined by Rule 144 under the 1933 Securities Act) of Holdings, such securities will be subject to restrictions on resale under 1933 Securities Laws, including Rule 144 under the 1933 Securities Act

(k) the Court will hold a hearing before approving the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and issuing the Final Order; and

(l) the Company shall include in the application contemplated by Section 2.4(b)(i) a statement to substantially the following effect: “If made, the order approving the Arrangement will serve as a basis of a claim to an exemption pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, from the registration requirements otherwise imposed by that Act, regarding the issuance and distribution in the United States of America of securities of the Purchaser pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.”

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Company Meeting, the Parties mutually determine (acting reasonably and in good faith) that the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption is unlikely to be reasonably available or is likely to be materially less advantageous than an available alternative (including a 1933 Securities Act registration statement or an alternative exemption therefrom), then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the transactions contemplated hereby to utilize such alternative exemption or register the offer of the Arrangement Consideration on a then-available registration statement in a manner intended to achieve the more advantageous result.

Section 2.10 Adjustment to Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Subsequent Merger Effective Time (a) the outstanding Company Common Shares, Parent Common Shares or Holdings Common Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or units or a different class, by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred or (b) the Company’s representations and warranties in Section 3.3(a), Parent’s representations and warranties in Section 4.3(a) or Holdings’ representations and warranties in Section 5.3(a) are not true in any non-de minimis respect with respect to the number of Fully Diluted Company Common Shares, outstanding and fully-diluted Parent Common Shares or Fully Diluted Holdings Common Shares, as applicable, then the number of Holdings Common Shares issued in the Mergers or the Arrangement, as applicable, will be equitably adjusted to provide to Parent and the Parent Shareholder, on the one hand, and the Company and the Company Shareholders, on the other hand, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event or to the extent of such representations and warranties being untrue, as applicable.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except (a) as disclosed in any Company Public Disclosure Record, other than any disclosures contained therein under the captions “Risk Factors” or “Forward Looking Statements” or disclosures contained in the Company Public Disclosure Record under any other captions to the extent the disclosures are predictive, cautionary or forward‑looking in nature, but it being understood that this clause (a) shall not be applicable to Section 3.3, Section 3.4, Section 3.23, Section 3.25, Section 3.26 and Section 3.27, and that any matter disclosed in any Company Public Disclosure Record will be deemed to be disclosed with respect to a section or subsection in this Article 3 only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure in such Company Public Disclosure Record that it is applicable to such section or subsection, or (b) as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter (but subject to Section 1.3), the Company represents and warrants to the Parent Parties as follows:

Section 3.1 Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or other entity power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted, except (other than with respect to the Company’s due organization and valid existence) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (where such concept is recognized under applicable Law) in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. True, complete and correct copies of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Company Articles of Incorporation”) and the Bylaws of the Company (the “Company Bylaws”), in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, are included in the Company Public Disclosure Record or have otherwise been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof.

Section 3.2 Subsidiaries. The chart attached to Section 3.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, each Subsidiary of the Company.

No non‑exempt “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code and Section 406 of ERISA) or breach of fiduciary duty (as determined under ERISA or other applicable Law) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any of the Company Benefit Plans, and no Company Benefit Plan is under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of, an audit, examination or investigation by the IRS, Department of Labor or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Governmental Authority relating to any Company Benefit Plan other than as listed on Section 3.14(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(h) Other than as listed on Section 3.14(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the consummation of the Arrangement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, alone or in combination with any other event occurring prior to, contemporaneous with or following the consummation of the Arrangement, the Mergers and any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will not (i) give rise to any liability, whether absolute or contingent, under any Company Benefit Plan, including liability for severance pay, unemployment compensation, termination pay or withdrawal liability, (ii) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting or increase the amount of compensation or benefits due to any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether current, former or retired) or their beneficiaries under any Company Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any breach or violation of or default under or limit the rights of Parent, the Company or any of their Affiliates to amend, modify, merge or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or related trust. No amount that could be received (whether in cash or property, the vesting of property or otherwise) as a result of or otherwise related to the consummation of the Arrangement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether alone or in combination with any other event) by any employee, officer or director or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Company Benefit Plan or otherwise, would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or would be subject to an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

(i) No Tax penalties or additional Taxes have been imposed or would be reasonably expected to be imposed on any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether current, former or retired), in each case, as a result of a failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any gross-up or indemnity obligation for any Taxes imposed on any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether current, former or retired), including under Section 4999 or 409A of the Code.

(j) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, each Company Benefit Plan that primarily covers workers located outside of the United States or Canada or is otherwise subject to the applicable Laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States or Canada (each a “Foreign Company Benefit Plan”), and each Company Benefit Plan that covers workers located in Canada or is otherwise subject to the applicable Laws of Canada (each, a “Canadian Company Benefit Plan”) (i) has in all material respects been established, registered (where required), funded, invested, operated and administered in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan document and all applicable Laws, and if intended to qualify for special tax treatment, satisfies all requirements for such treatment and (ii) if required or intended to be funded or book-reserved, are fully funded or book-reserved, as appropriate, based upon reasonable actuarial assumptions in accordance with applicable Laws.

The only employer obligation under a Canadian “multi-employer pension plan” (or term of similar import) as defined under the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario), as amended or other applicable Law in Canada, including similar pension standards legislation of Canada or a province and the Tax Act, is to remit employer and employee contributions as set out in the respective Labor Agreement.

(l) No event has occurred with respect to any Canadian Company Benefit Plan or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Foreign Company Benefit Plan, that is intended to be registered (i) which would result in the revocation of the registration of such Canadian Company Benefit Plan or Foreign Company Benefit Plan or entitle any Governmental Authority (without the consent of the Company) to wind up or terminate any Canadian Company Benefit Plan or Foreign Company Benefit Plan, in whole or in part, or (ii) which could otherwise reasonably be expected to adversely affect the tax status of any such Canadian Company Benefit Plan or Foreign Company Benefit Plan.

(F) after the Matching Period, the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, (x) after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to cause the Company to enter into such definitive agreement would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and (y) after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (if applicable, compared to the terms of this Agreement as proposed to be amended by Parent under Section 6.4(e)(ii)); and

109

(iv) The Company Board of Directors shall promptly reaffirm the Company Recommendation by press release after (A) any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or publicly disclosed, or (B) the Company Board of Directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated under Section 6.4(e)(ii) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal.

(v) If the Company provides a Superior Proposal Notice to Parent after a date that is less than ten Business Days before the Company Meeting, the Company shall be entitled to, and shall upon reasonable request from Parent, postpone the Company Meeting to a date that is not more than 15 Business Days after the scheduled date of the Company Meeting (but in any event the Company Meeting shall not be postponed to a date which would prevent the Arrangement Effective Time from occurring on or prior to the Outside Date).

114

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as it concerns the Investment Canada Act Approval exclusively, reasonable best efforts shall include the following obligations: within 15 Business Days of the later of submitting the application for review described in Section 7.2(b)(ii) and a reasonable request by the Minister for the same, Parent shall, or shall cause its relevant Subsidiary to, propose and file with the Minister draft written undertakings to be provided by Amalgamation Sub of a type that are reasonable and customary for a transaction of this nature.

(g) To the extent the Minister proposes or requires amendments or enhancements to the proposed undertakings referred to in Section 7.2(f) or subsequently filed draft undertakings to obtain the Investment Canada Act Approval, Parent shall, or shall cause Amalgamation Sub to, take account of those proposed required amendments and in good faith propose, file, negotiate and cause Amalgamation Sub (and, if necessary, Parent) to enter into undertakings with His Majesty the King in right of Canada with respect to the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries conducted in Canada that are reasonable and customary for a transaction of this nature and are required to obtain the Investment Canada Act Approval as soon as reasonably possible and in any event prior to the Outside Date. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, Parent (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) shall not be required to, or to cause Amalgamation Sub to, enter into or perform any undertakings unless: (i) the undertakings are conditioned upon Closing; and (ii) Parent determines in good faith that such undertakings do not impose a material burden on the Canadian business of Parent and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or the Canadian business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole).

(h) Subject to Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.2(b) and the specific rights and obligations in relation to the Required Regulatory Approvals set forth in this Section 7.2, from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the earlier of the Closing or the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Party shall not, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to not, take or agree to take any action, or assist counsel or encourage any third party not to take or agree to take any action, whether directly or indirectly, that involves the acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise, of any business, equity interests or assets from any other Person, that would be reasonably likely to (i) materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any Governmental Authority necessary to be obtained prior to Closing, (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Mergers and the Arrangement, (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any such Order on appeal or otherwise, or (iv) otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Mergers and the Arrangement; provided that the foregoing shall not require any Party to waive any of the conditions set forth in Article 8.

115

Section 7.3 Non-Regulatory Efforts and Consents. Separate and apart from the obligations set forth in Article 6 and Section 7.2, from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the earlier of the Closing or the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms and limitations hereof, including (a) preparing and delivering or submitting documentation to make with and obtain from, as applicable, any Governmental Authority all filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, non-objections, permits and authorizations, in each case, necessary or advisable under applicable Law in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and (b) giving, obtaining or effecting (as the case may be) as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement all notices, acknowledgments, waivers, consents, amendments, supplements or other modifications required under any Contract to which Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party to or bound (the “Third-Party Consents”) and that are necessary or advisable to be given, obtained or effected in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement; provided that in connection with the obligations in this clause (b), none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall (i) make any payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated payments) or concede anything of value, (ii) amend, supplement or otherwise modify any such Contract, or (iii) agree or commit to do any of the foregoing, in each case for the purposes of giving, obtaining or effecting any Third-Party Consents without the prior consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Separate and apart from the obligations set forth in Article 6 and Section 7.2, neither the Company nor Parent shall, nor shall either permit any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives to, participate in any substantive meetings, calls, presentations and other communications with any Governmental Authority or to make with or obtain from any Governmental Authority, as applicable, all filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations, in each case, necessary or advisable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.3 shall not apply to any matters related to the Relevant Laws, Investment Canada Act Approval or Required Regulatory Approvals, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 7.2.

116

Section 7.4 Transaction Litigation. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.4, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of (and, if entered, to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned) any Order that results from any Litigation against the Parties or any of their respective directors or officers in connection with, arising from or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby including the Mergers and the Arrangement (other than any Litigation which arises from, or relates to, matters set forth in Section 7.2, which in each case shall be governed by Section 7.2) (collectively, “Transaction Litigation”). The Company and Parent shall each give the other the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation, and no such settlement of any Transaction Litigation shall be agreed to without Parent’s and the Company’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of Parent and the Company shall keep the other reasonably informed of any Transaction Litigation (including providing the other Party notice within 24 hours of the commencement of any such shareholder litigation of which such Party has received notice), unless doing so would, in the reasonable judgment of such Party, jeopardize any privilege of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Transaction Litigation.

Section 7.5 Employee Matters^.

(a) During the period of 12 months beginning on the Closing Date (or, if shorter, during the period of continued employment of the relevant employee), Holdings shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each employee of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Parent and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable, who continues employment with Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing (including, upon their return to active employment, employees who are not actively at work on account of illness, disability, workers’ compensation or leave of absence) (an “Affected Employee”), (i) base compensation and target cash incentive opportunities that, in each case, are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to the Affected Employee as of immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable, and (ii) all other compensation and employee benefits (excluding from such comparison equity‑based compensation, defined benefit pension benefits, nonqualified deferred compensation benefits and retiree health and welfare benefits, and executive perquisites (the “Excluded Benefits”)) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and employee benefits provided to the Affected Employee as of immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable.

117

(b) Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any employee benefit plans in which the Affected Employees are entitled to participate after the Closing Date to take into account for purposes of eligibility and level of benefits, but not for purposes of any Excluded Benefits, service for the Company and its Subsidiaries and Parent and its Subsidiaries, as if such service were with Holdings, to the same extent such service was credited for the same purpose under a comparable Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, as applicable, prior to the Closing Date (except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation with respect to the same period of service). Holdings shall take all necessary actions so that each Affected Employee shall after the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable, continues to be credited with the unused paid time off credited to such Affected Employee through the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable, under the applicable paid time off policies of Holdings (subject to the same forfeiture conditions and accrual limits applicable prior to the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable). To the extent any health benefit plan replaces a Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan that is a health benefit plan in the plan year in which the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable, occurs, Holdings shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions and all waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Affected Employee to the extent waived or satisfied under the replaced Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan prior to the Closing Date and (ii) credit each Affected Employee for any co‑payments, deductibles and other out‑of‑pocket expenses paid prior to the Closing Date under the terms of the replaced Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable deductible, co‑payment or out‑of‑pocket requirements for the plan year in which the Arrangement Effective Time or the Merger Effective Time, as applicable, occurs.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.6, nothing contained in this Section 7.5 shall (i) be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, Contract, policy or arrangement, including any Company Benefit Plan and Parent Benefit Plan, (ii) limit the ability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, Contract, policy or arrangement maintained by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, respectively, at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) create any rights or obligations, including any third‑party beneficiary rights, in any Person (including any Affected Employee) other than the Parties, or any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates, or (iv) limit the right of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Affiliates, to terminate the employment or service of any employee, including the Affected Employees, or other service‑provider following the Closing Date at any time and for any or no reason.

Section 7.6 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Each of Holdings, the Company, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation now existing in favor of the present and former directors and officers of the Company, Parent or of any of their respective Subsidiaries (each such present or former director or officer (i) of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries being herein referred to as a “Parent Indemnified Party” and (ii) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries being herein referred to as a “Company Indemnified Party” and each Parent Indemnified Party and Company Indemnified Party being an “Indemnified Party” and such Persons collectively being referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the applicable governing documents of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Contract by which the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries is bound and which is in effect as of the date hereof, will survive the consummation of the Arrangement and the Mergers and continue in full force and effect and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified (except as required by applicable Law) in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party, with respect to actions or omissions of the Indemnified Parties occurring at or prior to the Closing.

118

(b) Holdings will, or will cause the Company, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six years from the Closing Date customary policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing protection no less favorable to the protection provided by the policies maintained by the Company, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, which are in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date and providing protection in respect of claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date; provided that in no event shall Holdings be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the sum of, as applicable, (x) the annual premiums currently paid by the Company or its Subsidiaries for such insurance and (y) the annual premiums currently paid by Parent for such insurance (such amount, the “Premium Cap”); provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such Premium Cap, Holdings shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such Premium Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company or Parent shall, prior to the Closing Date, and if the Company and Parent are unable to do so, the Surviving Company as of the Closing Date shall, purchase prepaid non‑cancellable run‑off or “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on terms, including with respect to coverage and amounts, no less favorable to those covered thereby than the directors’ and officers’ liability policies currently maintained by the Company or Parent, as applicable, but providing coverage for a period of six years from the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date; provided that the premiums for such insurance do not exceed the Premium Cap; provided, further, that Holdings may substitute therefor policies of a reputable and financially sound insurance company containing terms, including with respect to coverage and amounts, no less favorable to any Indemnified Party.

(c) The covenants contained in this Section 7.6 (i) are intended to be for the irrevocable benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and (ii) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party has under Law, Contract or otherwise, and shall be binding on Holdings and any of its successors.

(d) If the Company, Parent, Holdings or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, Holdings shall, in each case, ensure that any such successor or assign assumes all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.6.

Section 7.7 Rule 16b‑3 Actions. Prior to the Closing, Holdings and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause (a) any dispositions of Company Common Shares (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Shares) resulting from the Arrangement or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Exchange Act with respect to the Company immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time to be exempt under Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the 1934 Exchange Act and (b) any acquisitions of Holdings Common Shares or Company Common Shares (including derivative securities with respect to Holdings Common Shares or Company Common Shares, as applicable) resulting from the Arrangement or the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, by each individual who may become or is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Exchange Act with respect to Holdings to be exempt under Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the 1934 Exchange Act.

119

Section 7.8 Stock Exchange Listings.

(a) The Company and Holdings shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Holdings Class A Common Shares to be approved for listing on NYSE, subject only to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing, and in each case each of the Company and Holdings agrees to cooperate with such other Parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary for such listings.

(b) Each of the Parties agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to delist the Company Common Shares from the NYSE and the TSX and to cause the Company to cease to be a reporting issuer in each jurisdiction in Canada and to terminate registration of the Company Common Shares under the 1934 Exchange Act; provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Subsequent Merger Effective Time.

(c) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to update any such information and disclosure provided to Parent to ensure that such information and disclosure, (x) if included within an application of the type referred to in clause (i) above, remains accurate and complete in all material respects, and (y) if included within a prospectus referred to in clause (ii) above, when taken as a whole, does not contain as of the time provided to Parent, after giving effect to any prior updates thereto provided by the Company pursuant to this paragraph, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact that is required to be stated in such prospectus or that is necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading. The Company hereby consents to the use of the Company’s logos in connection with any of the materials referred to in this Section 7.8(c); provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective intellectual property rights.

Section 7.9 Takeover Statutes. If any state or provincial antitakeover statute, “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination,” “fair price” or similar statute or regulation (collectively, “Takeover Laws”) is or may become applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and its Affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) grant such approvals and take all such actions as are legally permissible so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and (b) otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Laws on the transactions contemplated hereby.

120

Section 7.10 Pre-Closing Restructuring.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Initial Parent Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly (including by merger, consolidation, contractual voting rights, grant of proxy or otherwise), transfer Parent Common Shares, Parent Preferred Shares or other equity interests of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or permit or allow such transfer to occur, (including, in each case, that would result in any Person directly holding Holdings Common Shares immediately following Closing) other than (i) to an existing equity owner of the Initial Parent Shareholder as of the date of this Agreement or any Affiliate thereof who is controlled by the Person or Persons or their Affiliates that directly or indirectly control the Initial Parent Shareholder (such Affiliate, a “Common Control Affiliate”), (ii) (x) up to 20% of Parent’s equity interests (directly or indirectly through the Initial Parent Shareholder or a Common Control Affiliate) to the Persons set forth on Section 7.10(a)(ii)(x) of the Parent Disclosure Letter or its Affiliates or (y) up to (inclusive of any amount transferred pursuant to clause (x)) 40% of Parent’s equity interests (directly or indirectly through the Initial Parent Shareholder or a Common Control Affiliate) to the Persons set forth on Section 7.10(a)(ii)(y) of the Parent Disclosure Letter or its Affiliates (collectively, “Specified Mutual Funds”) or (iii) any other Person approved by the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (collectively, with respect to subsections (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Permitted Sell-Down Transferees”). For clarity, (i) the Initial Parent Shareholder shall not transfer any securities to a Permitted Sell-Down Transferee in a transaction that would obligate Parent or Holdings to issue securities other than Parent Common Shares or Holdings Common Shares and (ii) transfers of the equity of the Initial Parent Shareholder or a Subsequent Parent Shareholder, or of their respective members or equity owners (other than transfers by members in or equity owners of investment funds whose direct or indirect holdings in Parent and its Subsidiaries comprise less than a majority of the assets under management of such funds) constitute indirect transfers of the equity interests of Parent.

(b) The Company agrees that, upon request of Parent, acting reasonably, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) implement such reorganizations of their corporate structure, capital structure, business, operations and assets or such other transactions as Parent may request, acting reasonably, including amalgamations, liquidations, reorganizations, continuances (including commencing a continuance process), share transfers or asset transfers, and the making of any Tax election under the Tax Act (including an election under paragraph 111(4)(e) of the Tax Act) (any such transactions, the “Pre-Closing Restructuring”); (ii) reasonably cooperate with Parent and its advisors to determine the nature of the Pre-Closing Restructurings that might be undertaken and the manner in which they would most effectively be undertaken; and (iii) assess what material consents, approvals, waivers or similar authorizations, if any, would be reasonably required in connection with the Pre-Closing Restructuring, and reasonably cooperate with Parent and its advisors to seek to obtain any such consents, approvals, waivers or similar authorizations. In addition, following the entry into this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall keep the other apprised of, and consult with the other in advance of implementing, any reorganizations of its or its Subsidiaries’ corporate structure or any reorganizations, restructurings, transactions or other actions by or among it or any of its Subsidiaries.

121

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to implement any Pre-Closing Restructuring pursuant to this Section 7.10 unless such Pre-Closing Restructuring:

(i) is not prejudicial to the Company or the Company Shareholders;

(iii) does not reduce the Arrangement Consideration or change the form of Consideration to be received by Company Shareholders (other than Company Shareholders exercising Dissent Rights), as applicable;

(iv) does not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in any adverse Tax or other consequences to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Company Shareholders (including any Taxes being imposed on such Persons) that are incrementally greater than the Taxes or other consequences that would be imposed on such Persons in connection with the Transactions in the absence of any action being taken as part of the Pre-Closing Restructuring;

(d) Filings. The Parties will cooperate reasonably and in good faith to determine whether the transactions set out in this Agreement and any related transactions are required to be reported to any applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to section 237.3 or 237.4 of the Tax Act (or any provisions of similar effect) and, if so, the Parties shall cooperate to make such reporting in a comprehensive and timely manner, in the form required by applicable Law.

Section 10.7 Amendment.

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan of Arrangement may only be supplemented or amended in accordance with the provisions thereof.

No single or partial exercise by a Party of any right or remedy precludes or otherwise affects any further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy to which that Party may be entitled. No waiver or partial waiver of any nature, in any one or more instances, will be deemed or construed a continued waiver of any condition or breach of any other term, representation or warranty in this Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties will, from time to time, do all acts and things and execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments, as the other Parties may, either before or after the Closing, reasonably require to carry out this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree (and further agree not to take any contrary position in any litigation concerning this Agreement) that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligations of the Parties hereto to consummate the Closing in accordance with Article 2) in the courts of the State of Delaware (or with respect to the Arrangement, the internal affairs of the Company or the provisions hereof which expressly relate to the OBCA, including the approval and effectiveness of the Arrangement, in the Courts of the Province of Ontario situated in the City of Toronto) without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such relief may be sought in addition to and shall not limit diminish, or otherwise impair, any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 9.2 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and shall not be construed to limit, diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to specific enforcement, and (c) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

ARTICLE 3

ARRANGEMENT

3.1 Arrangement

At the Effective Time, prior to the Merger becoming effective in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DCGL, the following shall occur and shall be deemed to occur sequentially in the following sequence without any further authorization, act or formality, in each case, unless stated otherwise:

Ex. A-7

(a) the Rights Agreement shall be terminated (and all rights thereunder shall expire) and shall be of no further force or effect;

(b) each outstanding Company Common Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised and not withdrawn shall be, and shall be deemed to be, transferred and assigned by the holder thereof to Amalgamation Sub without any further act or formality by or on behalf of the Dissenting Shareholder in consideration for the right to receive an amount determined and payable in accordance with Article 4, and:

(i) such Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to be the holder of such Company Common Shares and to have any rights as a Company Shareholder other than the right to receive an amount determined and payable in accordance with Article 4 hereof;

(ii) the name of such Dissenting Shareholder shall be removed from the register of Company Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company; and

(iii) Amalgamation Sub shall be recorded in the register of Company Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company as the registered holder of such Company Common Share and shall be, and be deemed to be, the legal and beneficial owner thereof free and clear of all Liens;

(c) the outstanding Company Common Shares (other than any Company Common Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders or by Amalgamation Sub or any of its Affiliates) shall be, and shall be deemed to be, transferred and assigned by the holders thereof to Amalgamation Sub without any further act or formality by or on behalf of the holders of such Company Common Shares in exchange for the issuance on behalf of Amalgamation Sub by Holdings to the holders thereof of a number of fully paid and non-assessable Holdings Class A Common Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, which (together with Holdings Equity Awards issued in respect of Company Equity Awards) shall be the equivalent of 43.0% of the Fully Diluted Holdings Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the Closing, and in respect of each Company Common Share so transferred and assigned:

(i) the holder thereof shall cease to be the holder of such Company Common Share and to have any rights as a Company Shareholder, other than the right to receive the Holdings Class A Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(c);

(ii) the name of such holder shall be removed from the register of Company Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company; and

(iii) Amalgamation Sub shall be recorded in the register of Company Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company as the registered holder of such Company Common Share, and shall be, and be deemed to be, the legal and beneficial owner thereof free and clear of all Liens;

(d) concurrent with the preceding step, without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, any of the Parties, each then-outstanding Company Equity Award and the Company ESPP shall be treated as follows:

Ex. A-8

(i) Company Options. Each Company Option (whether vested or unvested) shall automatically be converted into and thereafter evidence an option to acquire that number of Holdings Class A Common Shares that is equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Common Shares underlying subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number (after such conversion, a “Holdings Option”), at an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of the Company Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares covered by such Holdings Option will be determined in a manner that is intended to be consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the aforesaid exchange of options. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required, the exercise price of a Holdings Option will be adjusted such that the "in-the-money amount" of the Holdings Option immediately after the exchange does not exceed the "in-the-money amount" of the Company Option immediately before the exchange. Each Holdings Option will otherwise continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and any document evidencing a Company Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Holdings Option.

(ii) Company RSUs. Each Company RSU (whether vested or unvested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit award to acquire Holdings Class A Common Shares (each, a “Holdings RSU”). Each such Holdings RSU as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, as of the Effective Time, the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares subject to the Holdings RSU shall equal the product of (A) the number of Company Common Shares underlying such Company RSU multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(iii) Company PSUs. Each Company PSU (whether vested or unvested) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit award to acquire Holdings Class A Common Shares (each a “Holdings PSU”). Each such Holdings PSU as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) as of the Effective Time, the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares subject to the Holdings PSU shall equal the product of (x) the target number of Company Common Shares underlying such Company PSU by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share and (B) the applicable performance metrics shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement as agreed between the Parties, each acting reasonably.

(iv) Company Stock Plans. Holdings shall assume all the obligations of the Company under the Company Stock Plans, each outstanding Company Equity Award and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof (as modified by this Section 3.1(d)), and the number and kind of shares available for issuance under the Company Stock Plans shall be adjusted to reflect Holdings Class A Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Company Stock Plans; provided that no new awards under the Company Stock Plans shall be permitted to be awarded following the Effective Time.

Ex. A-9

(v) Company ESPP. The Company ESPP shall be terminated.

(e) concurrent with the preceding step, in consideration for Holdings delivering, on behalf of Amalgamation Sub, Holdings Class A Common Shares directly to the Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.1(c), AS Common Shares (the “AS Delivered Common Shares”) with the aggregate fair market value equal to the fair market value of the aggregate number of Holdings Class A Common Shares so delivered, shall be issued to Holdings, and in respect thereof, there shall be added to the stated capital account maintained by Amalgamation Sub for AS Common Shares an amount equal to the fair market value of the aggregate number of Holdings Class A Common Shares so delivered (the “Share Consideration Value”);

(f) immediately following the preceding step, the stated capital of the Company Common Shares shall be reduced to $1.00 without any distribution;

(g) Amalgamation Sub and the Company shall amalgamate to form one corporate entity with the same effect as if they were amalgamated under Section 177 of the OBCA (the “Amalgamation”), except that the separate legal existence of the Company shall not cease (the Company, as such surviving entity, “Amalco”). Without limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence of the Amalgamation, the separate legal existence of Amalgamation Sub will cease without Amalgamation Sub being liquidated or wound-up and the Company and Amalgamation Sub will continue as one company and the property of Amalgamation Sub will become the property of Amalco. For greater certainty, the Parties intend that the Amalgamation will qualify as an amalgamation for purposes of subsection 87(11) of the Tax Act. On and after the Amalgamation, the following shall apply:

(i) Name. The name of Amalco shall be the name of the Company;

(ii) Registered Office. The registered office of Amalco shall be the registered office the Company;

(iii) Business and Powers. There shall be no restrictions on the business that Amalco may carry on or on the powers it may exercise;

(iv) Authorized Share Capital. Amalco shall be authorized to issue an unlimited number of Amalco Shares, which shall have the same rights, privileges, conditions and restrictions as the AS Common Shares;

(v) Shares. Each AS Common Share shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable Amalco Share, and each Company Common Share shall be cancelled without any repayment of capital. No securities will be issued and no assets will be distributed by Amalco in connection with the Amalgamation;

Ex. A-10

(vi) Restrictions on Transfer. The restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares applicable to Amalgamation Sub shall apply to Amalco, mutatis mutandis;

(vii) Number of Directors. The number of directors of Amalco shall consist of a minimum number of one director and a maximum number of ten directors;

(viii) Initial Directors. The directors of Amalgamation Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be installed as the board of directors of Amalco;

(ix) By-laws. The by-laws of Amalgamation Sub immediately prior to the Amalgamation shall be adopted as the by-laws of Amalco;

(x) Stated Capital. The aggregate of the stated capital of the issued and outstanding Amalco Shares shall be equal to the aggregate of the stated capital of the issued and outstanding AS Common Shares immediately before the Amalgamation;

(xi) Effect of Amalgamation. Upon the amalgamation of Amalgamation Sub and the Company to form Amalco becoming effective pursuant to Section 3.1(g):

(A) Amalco shall possess all the property, rights, privileges and franchises and be subject to all liabilities, including civil, criminal and quasi-criminal, and all contracts, disabilities and debts of Amalgamation Sub and the Company;

(B) Amalco is liable for all of the liabilities and obligations of Amalgamation Sub and the Company, and all rights of creditors or others have been, and will continue to be, unimpaired by the Amalgamation, and all liabilities and obligations of Amalgamation Sub and the Company, whether arising by contract or otherwise, may be enforced against Amalco to the same extent as if such obligations had been incurred or contracted by it;

(D) a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding pending by or against either Amalgamation Sub or the Company may be continued by or against Amalco;

(E) a conviction against, or ruling, order or judgment in favor of or against Amalgamation Sub or the Company may be enforced by or against Amalco; and

(F) Amalco shall be deemed to be the party plaintiff or the party defendant, as the case may be, in any civil action commenced by or against Amalgamation Sub or the Company before the amalgamation has become effective;

(xii) Articles. The Articles of Arrangement shall be deemed to be the articles of amalgamation and articles of incorporation of Amalco and the Certificate of Arrangement shall be deemed to be the certificate of amalgamation and certificate of incorporation of Amalco.

Ex. A-11

3.2 No Fractional Shares

(a) No fractional Holdings Class A Common Shares shall be issued to the Company Shareholders in connection with this Plan of Arrangement. Where the aggregate number of Holdings Class A Common Shares to be issued to a Company Shareholder as consideration under this Plan of Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Holdings Class A Common Share being issuable, then, the number of Holdings Class A Common Shares to be delivered to such Company Shareholders shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Holdings Class A Common Share and, in lieu of the delivery of such fractional Holdings Class A Common Share, Holdings will pay to each such holder a cash payment (rounded down to the nearest cent) determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Company Common Shares on the NYSE as reported by the NYSE for the ten trading day period ending with the second complete trading day prior to the Effective Date (not counting the Effective Date).

(b) If the aggregate cash amount which a Company Shareholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(c) would otherwise include a fraction of $0.01, then the aggregate cash amount to which such Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive shall be rounded down to the nearest whole $0.01. All calculations and determinations made in good faith by the Depositary or any other Person for the purposes of this Plan of Arrangement shall be conclusive, final and binding.

3.3 Adjustment to Consideration

The Exchange Ratio, and any other dependent item set out in this Plan of Arrangement, shall be adjusted in the circumstances and in the manner described in Section 2.10 of the Arrangement Agreement, except as may be otherwise agreed by the Company and Parent.

3.4 U.S. Securities Law Matters

The Parties agree that the Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that, and the Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that, all Subject Securities will be issued by Holdings in reliance on the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption.

Any such certificate or DRS Advice formerly representing Company Common Shares not duly surrendered on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any kind or nature against or in any of the Parties.

(e) No former holder of Company Common Shares shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such Company Common Shares other than the consideration to which such former holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1 and this Section 5.1 and, for greater certainty, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith other than as contemplated in Section 5.6.

5.2 Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the consideration to which the holder is entitled pursuant to this Plan or Arrangement. When authorizing such exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such consideration, give a bond satisfactory to Holdings and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such sum as Holdings may direct (acting reasonably), or otherwise indemnify Holdings, Amalco and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to Holdings and the Depositary (acting reasonably) against any claim that may be made against Holdings, Amalco or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

5.3 Withholding Rights

Each of Parent, Holdings, Amalco, Amalgamation Sub, the Company and the Depositary and any other applicable withholding agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable or deliverable to any Person in connection with this Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment or delivery under the Tax Act, the Code or any provision of provincial, state, local, or foreign tax law, in each case as amended (“Tax Law”). Any amounts that are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. To the extent that amounts are so required under applicable Tax Law to be deducted or withheld from the payment of consideration to a holder of Parent Common Shares or from the payment of consideration to a holder of Company Common Shares, Company Equity Awards or other Equity Interests of the Company, the applicable Withholding Agent is hereby authorized to sell such portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the applicable holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the applicable Withholding Agent to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirements provided that, in such case, the applicable Withholding Agent shall notify such holder of such sale and remit (x) the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority and (y) the remaining net proceeds of such sale (after deduction for the amounts described in clause (x)), if any, to such holder.

Ex. A-15

5.4 Interest

Under no circumstances shall interest accrue or be paid by Holdings, Amalco, Amalgamation Sub, the Company, the Depositary or any other Person to persons depositing duly completed and executed Letters of Transmittal pursuant to Section 5.1, regardless of any delay in making any payment contemplated hereby.

5.5 No Liens

Any exchange or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.

Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such certificate or certificates (or affidavit in accordance with Section 5.2) in accordance with Section 5.1(b) there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Holdings Class A Common Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement.

Section 3. Subject to Section 1 and Section 4 of this Article V, each share of Class B Common Stock may be converted into one share of Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder.

Section 4. Prior to the Beneficial Ownership Sunset Time, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock and no holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to convert shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, any Person (as defined below), Group or any of their respective Affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 49.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by any such Person, Group or any of their respective Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock with respect to which such conversion is being requested, but shall exclude shares of Class A Common Stock that would be issuable upon (x) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person, Group or any of their respective Affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation beneficially owned by such Person, Group or any of their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 5. Prior to the Beneficial Ownership Sunset Time, if any transfer, issuance or other event occurs that, if effective, would result in the ORCP Group beneficially owning in excess of 49.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately after such transfer, issuance or other event, (i) then that number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would otherwise cause the ORCP Group to beneficially own in excess of 49.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically converted into shares of Class B Common Stock or, (ii) if, for any reason, the conversion described in clause (i) of this sentence is not automatically effective as provided therein to prevent the ORCP Group from beneficially owning more than 49.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding, then the transfer, issuance or other event that otherwise would cause the ORCP Group to beneficially own more than 49.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding shall be void ab initio and the ORCP Group shall have no rights in respect of such additional shares of Class A Common Stock.

Section 6. In connection with any conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock or Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Article V, if reasonably required by the Corporation’s transfer agent, the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable, deliver or cause to be delivered to such transfer agent any opinions, authorizations, certificates and/or directions in order to authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Article V.

Section 7. Upon any conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock or shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation, the holder shall surrender each certificate or certificates (if shares are in certificated form) representing the shares being converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office stating the name or names in which the certificate or certificates representing the shares issued upon such conversion are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be (if such shares are certificated), to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 1, Section 2 or Section 3 of this Article V, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares as of such date.

Section 8. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect a conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. Prior to the Beneficial Ownership Sunset Time, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect a conversion of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock then held by the ORCP Group. The Corporation covenants that all shares issued upon any such conversion will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 9. In the event any shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Article V, the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted shall be retired and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.

ARTICLE VI

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

Section 1. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to (a) the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock), (b) this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, or (c) the Stockholders Agreement, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board. Directors of the Corporation shall be elected annually for terms of one year and, subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, any such director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Section 2. Subject to any special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any or all of the directors may be removed with or without cause only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the election of directors; provided, however, that prior to the Trigger Event (as defined below), any of the directors nominated by a Sponsor Stockholder may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Section 3. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, and subject to any special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal, retirement or other causes (if the size of the Board is not to be reduced as specified in the Stockholders Agreement) and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders; provided, however, that prior to the Trigger Event, and except as otherwise expressly required by law, and subject to any special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal, retirement or other causes of a director nominated by a Sponsor Stockholder (if the size of the Board is not to be reduced as specified in the Stockholders Agreement) shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, by the sole remaining director, or by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 4. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, have the special right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues and subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement: (a) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of additional directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation establishing such series of Preferred Stock), and (b) each such additional director shall serve until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s right to hold such office terminates pursuant to the certificate of designation establishing such series of Preferred Stock, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation establishing any series of Preferred Stock), whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having the special right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including pursuant to any such certificate of designation), the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal of such additional 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 be reduced accordingly.

Section 5. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the amended and restated bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect from time to time, the “Bylaws”) so provide.

Section 6. Except as may otherwise be set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Board providing for the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock, and then only with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, cumulative voting in the election of directors is specifically denied.

ARTICLE VII

At any time prior to the Trigger Event, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation 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 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 entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. From and after the Trigger Event, 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 the stockholders of the Corporation (and may not be effected by any consent in lieu of a meeting); provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.

No director or officer of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or hereafter may be amended. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VIII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.

Section 2. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VIII, nor the adoption by amendment of this Certificate of Incorporation of any provision inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VIII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VIII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE IX

CERTAIN STOCKHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS

Section 1. In recognition and anticipation that (a) certain directors, principals, members, officers, associated funds, employees and/or other representatives of the Sponsor Stockholders (as defined below) and their Affiliates may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation, (b) the Sponsor Stockholders and their Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (c) members of the Board who are not employees of the Corporation (“Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this Article IX are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of (i) the Sponsor Stockholders or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any Non-Employee Director or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (i) and (ii) above being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons” and, individually, as an “Identified Person”) and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith, subject to the provisions set out in the Stockholders Agreement.

Section 2. None of the Identified Persons shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (a) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (b) competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation, except as provided in Section 4 of this Article IX. Subject to Section 4 of this Article IX, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other matter or business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no fiduciary duty or other duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or does not present such corporate opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

Section 3. The Corporation and its Affiliates do not have any rights in and to the business ventures of any Identified Person, or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the Corporation agrees that each of the Identified Persons may do business with any potential or actual customer or supplier of the Corporation or may employ or otherwise engage any officer or employee of the Corporation.

Section 4. The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section 2 of this Article IX shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

Section 5. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (a) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted, to undertake, (b) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business (or is not under development and projected to grow into a material business for the Corporation) or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (c) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

Section 6. For purposes of this Article IX, “Affiliate” shall mean (a) in respect of any Sponsor Stockholder, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Sponsor Stockholder, controls such Sponsor Stockholder or is under common control with such Sponsor Stockholder and shall include (i) any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any Person that is controlled by the Corporation) and (ii) any funds or vehicles advised by Affiliates of such Sponsor Stockholder, (b) in respect of a Non-Employee Director, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Non-Employee Director (other than the Corporation and any Person that is controlled by the Corporation) and (c) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation.

Section 7. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article IX. Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) inconsistent with this Article IX, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article IX in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article IX, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption.

For so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding, (a) none of Section 5 or Section 10 of Article IV or Section 8 or Section 9 of Article IV (as they relate to the equal treatment of the Class B Common Stock) shall be waived, altered, amended or repealed (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the unanimous vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and (b) none of Section 3 of Article IV, Article V or this proviso of Article X shall be waived, altered, amended or repealed (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in whole or in part, without (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock plus (ii) the unanimous vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

Section 2. The Board is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without the consent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Stockholders Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock), by the Bylaws or applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, or

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock (as defined below) of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or

at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2⁄3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 3. The restrictions contained in this Article XI shall not apply if a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder inadvertently and (a) as soon as practicable divests itself of ownership of sufficient shares so that the stockholder ceases to be an interested stockholder; and (b) would not, at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to a business combination between the Corporation and such stockholder, have been an interested stockholder but for the inadvertent acquisition of ownership.

Article II – Meetings of Stockholders

2.1 Place of Meetings.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place either within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.

2.2 Annual Meeting.

The Board shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board; provided, however, that, with respect to any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board or the chairperson of the Board at the request of ORCP, the Board shall not postpone, reschedule or cancel such special meeting without the prior written consent of ORCP.

No business may be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders other than the business specified in the notice of such special meeting given by or at the direction of the Person calling the meeting pursuant to this Section 2.3.

2.4 Notice of Business to be Brought Before a Meeting.

(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in a notice of meeting (or supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board or these bylaws, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (1) (A) was a record owner of shares of capital stock of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable respects or (2) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”).

Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (1) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); (2) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future; (3) the date or dates such shares were acquired; (4) the investment intent of such acquisition of shares; and (5) any pledge by such Proposing Person with respect to any of such shares (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) through (5), “Stockholder Information”);

(b) As to each Proposing Person, (1) the material terms and conditions of any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) or a “put equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or other derivative or synthetic arrangement in respect of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation (“Synthetic Equity Position”) that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by, held for the benefit of, or involving such Proposing Person, including, without limitation: (A) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, future or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (B) any derivative or synthetic arrangement having the characteristics of a long position or a short position in any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, including, without limitation, a stock loan transaction, a stock borrowing transaction, or a share repurchase transaction or (C) any contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions designed to (x) produce economic benefits and risks that correspond substantially to the ownership of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, (y) mitigate any loss relating to, reduce the economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) of, or manage the risk of share price decrease in, any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, or (z) increase or decrease the voting power in respect of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation held or maintained by, held for the benefit of, or involving such Proposing Person; including, without limitation, due to the fact that the value of such contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions is determined by reference to the price, value or

volatility of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument, contract or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, through the delivery of cash or other property, or otherwise, and without regard to whether the holder thereof may have entered into transactions that hedge or mitigate the economic effect of such instrument, contract or right, or any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the price or value of any shares of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation; provided, that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie any Synthetic Equity Position that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by, held for the benefit of, or involving such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer; (2) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable pursuant to such agreement, arrangement or understanding from the underlying shares of capital stock of the Corporation; (3) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation; (4) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand; (5) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement); (6) any proportionate interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation or a Synthetic Equity Position held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership, limited liability company or similar entity in which any such Proposing Person (A) is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner of such general or limited partnership or (B) is the manager, managing member or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in the manager or managing member of such limited liability company or similar entity; (7) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group that intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal; and (8) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to

(iv) For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (a) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (b) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (c) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

(ix) For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these bylaws, for so long as the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below) remains in effect with respect to ORCP, ORCP (to the extent then subject to the Stockholders Agreement) shall not be subject to the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4.

2.5 Notice of Nominations for Election to the Board of Directors.

(i) Nominations of any person for election to the Board at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Person calling such special meeting) may be made at such meeting only (a) by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board or these bylaws, or (b) by a stockholder present in person who (1) was a record owner of shares of capital stock of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.5 and 2.6 as to such notice and nomination; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these bylaws, for so long as ORCP is entitled to nominate a Director pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, ORCP shall not be subject to this Section 2.5. For purposes of this Section 2.5, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder nominating any person for election to the Board at the meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such stockholder, appear at such meeting, either in person or by means of remote communication to present the nomination. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other Person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such Person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at or before the meeting of stockholders in writing or by electronic transmission. The foregoing clause (b) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting or special meeting.

(ii) Without qualification, for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual meeting, the stockholder must (a) provide Timely Notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation, (b) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to each Nominating Person (as defined below) and its candidate for nomination as required to be set forth by this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, and (c) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

(iii) Without qualification, if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Person calling a special meeting, then for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at a special meeting, the stockholder must (a) provide timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (b) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to each Nominating Person and its candidate for nomination as required by this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 and (c) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for nominations to be made at a special meeting must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the 90th day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such special meeting at which directors are to be elected was first made by the Corporation (such notice and within such time periods, “Special Meeting Timely Notice”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(iv) In no event may a Nominating Person (as defined below) provide Timely Notice or Special Meeting Timely Notice, as applicable, with respect to a greater number of director candidates than are subject to election by stockholders at the applicable meeting. Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (ii) of this Section 2.5 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors subject to election at the meeting is increased, such stockholder’s notice as to any additional nominees only shall be due on the later of (a) the conclusion of the time period for Timely Notice or Special Meeting Timely Notice, as applicable, or (b) the 10^th day following the date of public disclosure of such increase.

(v) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.5, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Nominating Person, the Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 2.4(iii)(a) of these bylaws) except that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(iii)(a);

(b) As to each Nominating Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.4(iii)(b), except that for purposes of this Section 2.5 the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(iii)(b) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be brought before the meeting in Section 2.4(iii)(b) shall be made with respect to the nomination of persons for election to the Board to be brought before the meeting); and provided that, in lieu of including the information set forth in Section 2.4(iii)(b)(7), the Nominating Person’s notice for purposes of this Section 2.5 shall include a representation as to whether the Nominating Person intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and solicit the holders of shares representing at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

(c) As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (1) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement and accompanying proxy card relating to the Corporation’s next meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected and to serving as a director for a full term if elected), (2) a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for nomination or his or her respective associates (as defined in Rule 14a-1(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act) or any other participants (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii) through (vi) of Instruction 3 of Item 4 of Schedule 14A) in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), the “Nominee Information”), and (3) a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Section 2.6(i).

(vi) For purposes of this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, the term “Nominating Person” shall mean (a) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting, (b) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed to be made at the meeting is made, and (c) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

(vii) The Board may request that any Nominating Person furnish such additional information as may be reasonably required by the Board. Such Nominating Person shall provide such additional information within 10 days after it has been requested by the Board.

(viii) A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice or the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5, as applicable, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination, including by changing or adding nominees, to submit any new nomination, or to submit any new proposal, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(ix) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting, each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, unless otherwise required by law, (a) no Nominating Person shall solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees unless such Nominating Person has, or is part of a group that has, complied with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act in connection with the solicitation of such proxies, including the provision to the Corporation of notices required thereunder, in accordance with the time frames required in this Section 2.5 or by Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and (b) if (1) any Nominating Person provides notice in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) (x) such notice in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) is not provided within the time period of Timely Notice of Special Meeting Timely Notice, as applicable and (y) such Nominating Person subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (z) such Nominating Person fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such Nominating Person has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence, then the nomination of such Nominating Person’s proposed nominees shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that each such nominee is included as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any annual meeting (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded). If any Nominating Person provides notice in accordance with Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such Nominating Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than seven business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

2.6 Additional Requirements for Valid Nomination of Candidates to Serve as Director and, if Elected, to be Seated as Directors.

(i) To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a director of the Corporation at an annual or special meeting, a candidate must be nominated in the manner prescribed in Section 2.5 and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board or by a stockholder of record, must have previously delivered (in the case of a nomination by a stockholder of record, in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 2.5), to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (a) a completed written questionnaire (in the same form used for the Corporation’s existing directors, to be provided by the Corporation upon written request of any stockholder of record therefor) with respect to the background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such proposed nominee and (b) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Corporation upon written request of any stockholder of record therefor) that such candidate for nomination (1) is not and, if elected as a director during his or her term of office, will not become a party to (A) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given and will not give any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (B) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (2) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director that has not been disclosed therein or to the Corporation, (3) if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to directors and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and guidelines then in effect), and (4) if elected as a director of the Corporation, intends to serve the entire term until the next meeting at which such candidate would face re-election.

(ii) The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a director to furnish such other information related to such candidate’s eligibility or qualification to serve as a director as may reasonably be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may request such other information in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation or to comply with the director qualification standards and additional selection criteria in accordance with the Corporation’s [Corporate Governance Guidelines]. Such other information shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the request by the Board has been delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Nominating Person.

(iii) A candidate for nomination as a director by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.5(i)(b) shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(iv) No candidate proposed to be nominated by a stockholder in accordance with these bylaws shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, as applicable. The Board shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, and if the Board so determines, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and authority to so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees, only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect. If at any meeting of stockholders a nomination is made for which advance notice was not given or provided as required by Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and authority to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded.

(v) Subject to Section 2.6(vi) of these bylaws, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6; provided, however, that nothing in Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, for so long as ORCP is entitled to nominate a Director pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, ORCP shall not be subject to Section 2.5 or this Section 2.6.

2.7 Action by Written Consent in Lieu of a Meeting.

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote only to the extent permitted by and in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and in accordance with applicable law.

2.8 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 7.1 of these bylaws not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting) and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.9 Quorum.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present or represented. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

2.10 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication) unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken or are provided in any other manner permitted by the DGCL. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.11 Organization; Conduct of Business.

Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairperson of the Board, if any, or, in his or her absence, by the chief executive officer of the Corporation or, in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairperson, who shall be a director or officer of the Corporation, designated by the Board. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence, the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairperson of the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations (which need not be in writing) for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting (whether or not a quorum is present), to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairperson, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for the removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other Persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The chairperson at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.12 Voting.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Unless a different or minimum vote is provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law, or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, in which case such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.

2.13 Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned or postponed meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned or postponed meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned or postponed meeting.

To the extent stockholder action by consent is permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting is fixed by the Board, (i) when no prior action of the Board is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.14 Proxies.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another Person or Persons to act for such stockholder by proxy as permitted by law, including Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but, no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.

2.15 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10^th day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days ending on the day before the meeting date: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.15 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.16 Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment or postponement and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more Persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any Person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.

Such inspectors shall:

(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii) count all votes or ballots;

(iii) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(iv) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such Persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

2.17 Delivery to the Corporation.

Other than as specified by Section 2.14, whenever this Article II requires one or more Persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation required by this Article II (other than as specified by Section 2.14).

At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Stockholders Agreement or these bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.11 Board Action by Written Consent without a Meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or committee thereof. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

6.4 Shares Without Certificates.

The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided the use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.

6.5 Construction; Definitions.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural and the plural number includes the singular.

The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation or (iii) the Stockholders Agreement, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of the Corporation’s capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate Person or Persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the Persons from and to whom it was transferred.

6.10 Agreements Regarding Transfer.

The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

6.11 Registered Stockholders.

The Corporation:

(i) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner; and

(ii) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

6.12 Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the Person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a Person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

Article VII – Notice

7.1 Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(ii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(iii) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice, provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Article VIII – Indemnification

8.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any director or officer of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, XXXXX excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 8.4, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Person only if the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized in the specific case by the Board.

8.2 Indemnification of Others.

The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any employee or agent of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with any such Proceeding.

8.3 Prepayment of Expenses.

The Corporation shall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any officer or director of the Corporation, and may pay the expenses incurred by any employee or agent of the Corporation, in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise.

8.4 Determination; Claim.

If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article VIII is not paid in full within 60 days, or a claim for advancement of expenses under this Article VIII is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

8.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The rights conferred on any Person by this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, these bylaws or otherwise.

8.6 Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

8.7 Other Indemnification.

The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

8.8 Continuation of Indemnification.

The rights to indemnification and to prepayment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

8.9 Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.

The provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute a contract between, on the one hand, the Corporation and, on the other hand, each individual who serves or has served as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these bylaws), in consideration of such Person’s performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article VIII the Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation. With respect to current and former directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation, the rights conferred under this Article VIII are present contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon adoption of these bylaws. With respect to any directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation who commence service following adoption of these bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director, officer, employee or agent commencing service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection (i) hereunder of any Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article VIII shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the chief executive officer, president and secretary, or other officer of the Corporation appointed by (x) the Board pursuant to Article V of these bylaws or (y) an officer to whom the Board has delegated the power to appoint officers pursuant to Article V of these bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “vice president” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article VIII.

Article IX – Amendments

Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, the Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to alter, amend, repeal or rescind the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Article X – Forum Selection

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine, or (v) any action in the right of the Corporation asserting a claim as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions of this Article X, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Any Person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article X. This provision is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the Corporation, its officers and directors, the underwriters to any offering giving rise to such complaint, and any other professional or entity whose profession gives authority to a statement made by that Person and who has prepared or certified any part of the documents underlying the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article X shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the application of such provision to other Persons and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Article XI – Interpretation

If any provision or provisions of these bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision or provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of these bylaws shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of these bylaws shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

For as long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect, in the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of these bylaws and those contained in the Stockholders Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall govern and control, except as provided otherwise by mandatory provisions of the DGCL.

Article XII – Definitions

A demand by the ORCP Stockholders for a non-shelf registered offering that will result in the imposition of a lockup on the Company and the Sponsor Stockholders may not be made unless the Shares requested to be sold by the demanding ORCP Stockholders in such offering have an aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of the shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at least $50 million (or such lesser amount if all Shares held by the demanding ORCP Stockholders are requested to be sold). Subject to Section 3.2 below, any demanded registered offering will also include Shares to be sold by Other Sponsor Stockholders that exercise their related piggyback rights on a timely basis.

³ NTD: To the extent any Other Sponsor Stockholders are party to this Agreement at the Effective Time, such Sponsor Stockholders will also provide these reps and warranties.

(b) Right to Piggyback on a Non-Shelf Registered Offering. In connection with any registered offering of shares of Common Stock covered by a non-shelf registration statement (whether (i) pursuant to the exercise of demand rights by the ORCP Stockholders or any other stockholder of the Company or (ii) at the initiative of the Company), subject to Section 3.2 below, (1) the ORCP Stockholders and (2) any Other Sponsor Stockholder that Beneficially Owns greater than or equal to 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock Shares may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such offering Shares held by them. The Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement any such non-shelf registered offering.

(i) The Company shall, in the matter described in this Agreement, submit or file as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 15 business days after the Effective Time, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective after the filing thereof, a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 or a successor form (or Form S-3 or a successor form to the extent permissible) (the “Shelf Registration”) registering the sale by the Sponsor Stockholders of their respective Shares in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided, that such date of effectiveness shall be no earlier than 90 days after the Effective Time. Unless otherwise requested by the ORCP Stockholders, such Shelf Registration filed by the Company covering Shares will cover all (unless a lesser amount is requested by the applicable Sponsor Stockholder) Shares held by each of the Sponsor Stockholders at such time. If at the time of such submission or filing the Company is a WKSI, such Shelf Registration would, at the request of any Sponsor Stockholder, cover an unspecified number of Shares to be sold by the Company and/or the Sponsor Stockholders.

(ii) Upon effectiveness of the Shelf Registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration effective with the SEC at all times and, if applicable, to re-file such Shelf Registration upon its expiration or, to the extent permissible, convert such Shelf Registration from Form S-1 or a successor form to Form S-3 or a successor form, and to cooperate in any shelf take-down, whether or not underwritten, by amending or supplementing the prospectus related to such Shelf Registration as may be reasonably requested by the Sponsor Stockholders or as otherwise required, until such time as all Shares that could be sold in such Shelf Registration have been sold or are no longer outstanding.

(d) Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx Rights for Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx. Upon the demand of one or more ORCP Stockholders made at any time and from time to time, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Shares off of an effective shelf registration statement. In connection with any underwritten shelf takedown (whether (i) pursuant to the exercise of demand rights by the ORCP Stockholders or any other stockholder of the Company or (ii) at the initiative of the Company), subject to Section 3.2 below, (1) the ORCP Stockholders and (2) any Other Sponsor Stockholder that Beneficially Owns greater than or equal to 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock may exercise piggyback rights to have included in such takedown Shares held by them that are registered on such shelf.

(e) Right to Reload a Shelf. Upon the written request of the ORCP Stockholders, the Company will file and seek the effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to an existing resale shelf in order to register up to the number of Shares of the ORCP Stockholders previously taken down off of such shelf and not yet “reloaded” onto such shelf.

(f) Other Sponsor Stockholder Demand Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Other Sponsor Stockholder (for so long as it Beneficially Owns at least 10% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock) may provide notice (each, an “Other Sponsor Demand”) at any time requesting that the Company effect the registration (an “Other Sponsor Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act of any or all of the Shares held by such Other Sponsor Stockholder (provided, however, that the Shares requested to be sold in such offering have an aggregate market value (based on the most recent closing price of the Common Stock at the time of the demand) of at least $50 million), which Other Sponsor Demand shall specify the number of such Shares to be registered and the intended method or methods of disposition of such Shares; provided, however, that the ORCP Stockholders shall have expressly consented to such Other Sponsor Demand Registration unless, following the date that is 540 days after the Effective Date, such Other Sponsor Stockholder has not effected or been offered to effect any Sale of its Shares pursuant to the exercise of its piggyback rights under this Section 3.1, in which case such express consent of the ORCP Stockholders shall not be required. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of such Shares under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and to keep such registration effective for so long as is necessary to permit the disposition of such Shares, in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition stated in such Other Sponsor Demand. Any Other Sponsor Stockholder shall be limited to, and shall have the right to request not more than, (i) if such Other Sponsor Stockholder Beneficially Owns at least 10% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, one Other Sponsor Demand (ii) if such Other Sponsor Stockholder Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, two Other Sponsor Demands; provided, however, that (1) no revoked or withdrawn Other Sponsor Demand shall be counted for determining the number of Other Sponsor Demands requested if (x) such Other Sponsor Stockholder reimburses the Company for all of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such revoked or withdrawn Other Sponsor Demand incurred through the date of such revocation or withdrawal and (y) such revocation or withdrawal shall have been made prior to the commencement of any significant marketing efforts or “road shows” by the Company or the underwriters in connection with such Other Sponsor Demand and (2) no Other Sponsor Demand to which the ORCP Stockholders did not consent (to the extent such consent was required pursuant to this Section 3.1(f)) shall be counted for determining the number of Other Sponsor Demands requested. Upon receipt of an Other Sponsor Demand, the Company shall promptly give written notice of such Other Sponsor Demand to each other Sponsor Stockholder who shall have piggyback registration rights with respect to such Other Sponsor Demand (including the ORCP Stockholders) in accordance with Section 3.1 but subject to Section 3.2(e), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws of the Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the Other Sponsor Stockholders (and the ORCP Stockholders, if applicable), subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.1(f).

(g) Limitations on Demand and Piggyback Rights.

(i) Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering or takedown will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lockup arrangements, and such demand must be deferred until such lockup arrangements no longer apply. If a demand has been made for a non-shelf registered offering or for an underwritten takedown, no further demands may be made so long as the related offering is still being pursued. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Sponsor Stockholders will have piggyback or other registration rights with respect to registered primary offerings by the Company (1) covered by a Form S-8 registration statement or a successor form applicable to employee benefit-related offers and sales, (2) where the Shares are not being sold for cash or (3) where the offering is a bona fide offering of securities other than Shares, even if such securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares.

(ii) The Company may postpone the filing (but not the preparation) of a demanded registration statement or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement for a reasonable “blackout period” not in excess of 90 days if the Board of Directors determines (after consultation with external legal counsel) that such registration or offering (1) could materially interfere with any material proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then under consideration or (2) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure; provided, that the Company shall promptly notify each Sponsor Stockholder in writing of any such determination; provided further, that the Company shall not postpone the filing of a demanded registration statement or suspend the effectiveness of any shelf registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.1(g)(ii) more than once in any 360-day period. The blackout period will end upon the earlier to occur of the date (1) that is 90 days from the date such deferral commenced and (2) upon which such information is otherwise disclosed.

(h) Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company will not grant to any Person(s) the right to request the Company or any Subsidiary to register any equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the ORCP Stockholders.

(i) Initial Liquidity Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the first registered sale of Shares by the ORCP Stockholders pursuant to this Section III shall be in the form of either (i) an underwritten non-shelf registered offering subject to Section 3.1(a) or (ii) an underwritten shelf takedown subject to Section 3.1(d); provided, however, that there shall be no such requirement for an underwritten offering if, in the good faith judgment of the ORCP Stockholders, conducting an underwritten offering would adversely impact the price or liquidity of such sale compared to other liquidity alternatives being considered by the ORCP Stockholders.

(j) Expiration of Registration Rights.

(i) The rights of the ORCP Stockholders under Section 3.1(a) shall expire when the ORCP Stockholders, collectively, Beneficially Own less than 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and the other rights of the ORCP Stockholders under this Section 3.1 shall expire on a holder-by-holder basis when a given ORCP Stockholder Beneficially Owns less than 1% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock; provided, that, in each case, such ORCP Stockholder is able to sell the Shares Beneficially Held as of the Effective Time under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without volume or manner of sale restrictions, at such time.

(ii) The rights of the Other Sponsor Stockholders under Sections 3.1(b) and 3.1(d) shall expire on a holder-by-holder basis when a given Other Sponsor Stockholder Beneficially Owns less than 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.

3.2 Notices, Cutbacks and Other Matters.

(a) Notifications Regarding Registration Statements. In order for one or more ORCP Stockholders to exercise their right to demand that a registration statement be filed, they must so notify the Company in writing indicating the number of Shares sought to be registered and the proposed plan of distribution. The Company will keep the Sponsor Stockholders contemporaneously apprised of all pertinent aspects of its pursuit of any registration, whether pursuant to an ORCP Stockholder demand or otherwise, with respect to which a piggyback opportunity is available (and in any event, at least five days before a filing of a registration statement). Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain the confidentiality of these discussions.

(b) Notifications Regarding Registration Piggyback Rights. Any Sponsor Stockholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to a non-shelf registration statement must notify the Company and the ORCP Stockholders of the number of Shares it seeks to have included in such registration statement. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the second trading day prior to (i) if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus intended to be used in connection with pre-effective marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized and (ii) in any case, the date on which the pricing of the relevant offering is expected to occur. No such notice is required in connection with a shelf registration statement, as all Shares held by the Sponsor Stockholders will be included (unless otherwise requested by the ORCP Stockholders).

(i) The Company will keep the Sponsor Stockholders contemporaneously apprised of all pertinent aspects of any underwritten shelf takedown in order that they may have a reasonable opportunity to exercise their related piggyback rights (and in any event, at least two trading days before the filing of a prospectus supplement). Without limiting the Company’s obligation as described in the preceding sentence, having a reasonable opportunity requires that the Sponsor Stockholders be notified by the Company of an anticipated underwritten takedown (whether pursuant to a demand made by the ORCP Stockholders or made at the Company’s own initiative) no later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the second trading day prior to (1) if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with pre-pricing marketing efforts for such takedown is finalized and (2) in all cases, the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs.

(ii) Any Sponsor Stockholder wishing to exercise its piggyback rights with respect to an underwritten shelf takedown must notify the Company and the ORCP Stockholders of the number of Shares it seeks to have included in such takedown. Such notice must be given as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the trading day prior to (1) if applicable, the date on which the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement intended to be used in connection with marketing efforts for the relevant offering is expected to be finalized and (2) in all cases, the date on which the pricing of the relevant takedown occurs. Any Sponsor Stockholder may elect to include in such notification to the Company and the ORCP Stockholders a minimum price at which they are willing to sell their Shares in such underwritten shelf takedown and, to the extent a minimum price is included, such Sponsor Stockholder’s Shares will not be included in the underwritten shelf takedown to the extent such minimum price is not met without its express consent.

(iii) Pending any required public disclosure and subject to applicable legal requirements, the parties will maintain appropriate confidentiality of their discussions regarding a prospective underwritten takedown.

(d) Plan of Distribution, Underwriters and Counsel. If (i) a majority of the Shares proposed to be sold in an underwritten offering through a non-shelf registration statement or through a shelf takedown are being sold by the Company for its own account and (ii) such offering was initiated by the Company and not by the ORCP Stockholders, the Company will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters for such offering. If such offering was initiated pursuant to the exercise of demand rights by the ORCP Stockholders, the ORCP Stockholders will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters, and the ORCP Stockholders will also be entitled to select counsel for the selling Sponsor Stockholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company) and determine the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the offering. Otherwise, the Sponsor Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares requested to be included in such offering will be entitled to determine the plan of distribution and select the managing underwriters, and such majority will also be entitled to select counsel for the selling Sponsor Stockholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company) and determine the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the offering. In the case of a shelf registration statement, the plan of distribution will provide as much flexibility as is reasonably possible, including with respect to resales by transferee Sponsor Stockholders.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Sponsor Stockholder may participate in any offering hereunder unless such Sponsor Stockholder (i) agrees to sell such Sponsor Stockholder’s Shares on the same terms and conditions provided in any customary underwriting arrangements reasonably approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangement pursuant to this Section 3.2(d) and (ii) completes and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that all Persons participating in such registration are required to complete and execute, on the same terms and conditions, such questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements, underwriting agreements and other documents.

(e) Cutbacks. If the managing underwriters advise the Company and the selling Sponsor Stockholders that, in their opinion, the number of Shares requested to be included in an underwritten offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Shares being offered, such offering will include only the number of Shares that the underwriters advise can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the distribution of the Shares being offered.

(i) In the case of a registered offering upon (a) the demand of one or more ORCP Stockholders or (b) an Other Sponsor Demand (as defined herein), the selling Sponsor Stockholders (including those Sponsor Stockholders exercising piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) collectively will have first priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the proportion of all outstanding Shares that are held by each such selling Sponsor Stockholder at that time (up to the number of Shares initially requested by them to be included in such offering). To the extent of any remaining capacity, all other stockholders having similar registration rights will have second priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the proportion of all outstanding Shares that are held by the respective holders thereof requesting to participate in such offering. To the extent of any remaining capacity, the Company will have third priority. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding three sentences, if the Sponsor Stockholders are subject to a cutback, other selling stockholders (other than transferees to whom a Sponsor Stockholder has assigned its rights under this Agreement) will be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of the Sponsor Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering.

(ii) In the case of a registered offering upon the demand of any other stockholders having similar registration rights not party to this Agreement, such other stockholders collectively will have first priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the relative number of Shares owned by the respective holders thereof requesting to participate in such offering. To the extent of any remaining capacity, the Sponsor Stockholders will have second priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the relative number of Shares owned by the respective holders thereof requesting to participate in such offering. To the extent of any remaining capacity, the Company will have third priority.

(iii) In the case of a registered offering upon the initiative of the Company, the Company will have first priority. To the extent of any remaining capacity, the selling Sponsor Stockholders collectively will have second priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the proportion of all outstanding Shares that are held by each such selling Sponsor Stockholder at that time (up to the number of Shares initially requested by them to be included in such offering). To the extent of any remaining capacity, all other stockholders having similar registration rights will have third priority and will be subject to cutback pro rata based on the proportion of all outstanding Shares that are held by the respective holders thereof requesting to participate in such offering. Except as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, if the Sponsor Stockholders are subject to a cutback, other stockholders (other than transferees to whom a Sponsor Stockholder has assigned its rights under this Agreement) will be included in an underwritten offering only with the consent of the ORCP Stockholders.

(f) Withdrawals. Even if Shares held by a Sponsor Stockholder have been part of a registered underwritten offering, such Sponsor Stockholder may, no later than the time at which the public offering price and underwriters’ discount are determined with the managing underwriter, decline to sell all or any portion of the Shares being offered for its account.

(g) Lockups.

(i) In connection with any underwritten offering of Shares following the Effective Time, each participating Sponsor Stockholder hereby agrees with the Company (and only with the Company) to be bound by the underwriting agreement’s lockup restrictions (which must apply, and continue to apply, in like manner to all of them) that are agreed to by (a) the Company, if a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold for its account or (b) the ORCP Stockholders, if any of the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold by the ORCP Stockholders, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall such lockup restrictions last more than 90 days.

(ii) In connection with any underwritten offering of Shares following the Effective Time, the Company hereby agrees with each Sponsor Stockholder, individually and not jointly, to be bound by the underwriting agreement’s lockup restrictions (which must apply, and continue to apply, in like manner to the Company and each Sponsor Stockholder) that are agreed to by the ORCP Stockholders, if a majority of the Shares being sold in such offering are being sold by the ORCP Stockholders; provided, however, that in no event shall such lockup restrictions last more than 90 days.

(h) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with any registration statement or registered offering covering Shares held by the Sponsor Stockholders, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses with respect to filings required to be made with the SEC and the NYSE), printing expenses (including, without limitation, printing certificates for the Shares in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company and printing preliminary, supplemental and final prospectuses), word processing, duplicating, telephone and facsimile expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, transfer taxes, expenses incurred in connection with promotional efforts or “roadshows”, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Sponsor Stockholders (which may be the same as counsel for the Company) and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the underwriters with respect to “blue sky” qualification of such Shares and their determination for eligibility for investment under the laws of the various jurisdictions and in connection with any filing with, and clearance of any offering by, FINRA (up to the cap on such fees, if any, included in any applicable underwriting agreement)) and of the independent certified public accountants of the Company (including, without limitation, with respect to the preparation of customary financial statements required to be included in any offering document, the provision of any customary comfort letters and the conduct of any special audits required by, or incidental to, such registration), and the expense of qualifying such Shares under state blue sky and non-U.S. securities laws (reasonably requested by the ORCP Stockholders), will be borne by the Company. However, transfer taxes and underwriters’, brokers’ and dealers’ discounts and commissions applicable to Shares sold for the account of a Sponsor Stockholder will be borne by and paid for by such Sponsor Stockholder. In addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on the NYSE or such other national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed and rating agency fees and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company).

3.3 Facilitating Registrations and Offerings.

(a) General. If the Company becomes obligated under this Agreement to facilitate a registration and offering of Shares on behalf of the Sponsor Stockholders, the Company will do so with the same degree of care and dispatch as would reasonably be expected in the case of a registration and offering by the Company of Shares for its own account. Without limiting this general obligation, the Company will fulfill its specific obligations as described in this Section 3.3.

(b) Registration Statements. In connection with each registration statement that is demanded by any Sponsor Stockholder or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

(i) subject to Section 3.1, (1) prepare and file (or confidentially submit) with the SEC a registration statement covering the applicable Shares, (2) prepare and file (or confidentially submit) such amendments or supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending when all of the Shares covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but not in any event before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten public offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with the sale of Shares by an underwriter or dealer), (3) seek the effectiveness thereof, and (4) file with the SEC prospectuses and prospectus supplements as may be required, all in consultation with the ORCP Stockholders or Other Sponsor Stockholders, as applicable, and as reasonably necessary in order to permit the offer and sale of the such Shares in accordance with the applicable plan of distribution;

(ii) (1) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any registration statement, any prospectus, any amendment to a registration statement, amendment or supplement to a prospectus or any free writing prospectus, provide copies of such documents to the selling Sponsor Stockholders and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering, if applicable, and to their respective counsel; fairly consider such reasonable changes in any such documents prior to or after the filing thereof as the counsel to the Sponsor Stockholders or the underwriter or the underwriters may request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Sponsor Stockholders or any underwriter available for discussion of such documents; and (2) within a reasonable time prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a registration statement or a prospectus, provide copies of such document to counsel for the Sponsor Stockholders and underwriters; fairly consider such reasonable changes in such document prior to the filing thereof as counsel for such Sponsor Stockholders or such underwriter shall request; and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by such counsel available for discussion of such document;

(iii) cause each registration statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such registration statement, amendment or supplement and during the distribution of the registered Shares (1) to comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and (2) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(iv) notify each Sponsor Stockholder promptly, and, if requested by such Sponsor Stockholder, confirm such advice in writing, (1) when a registration statement has been filed or become effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto have been filed or become effective if such registration statement or post-effective amendment is not automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462 under the Securities Act, (2) of the issuance by the SEC or any state or non-U.S. securities authority of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (3) if, between the effective date of a registration statement and the closing of any sale of securities covered thereby pursuant to any agreement to which the Company is a party, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (4) of the happening of any event during the period a registration statement is effective as a result of which such registration statement or the related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, if required by applicable law, prepare and file a supplement or amendment to such registration statement or prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Shares registered thereby, such registration statement or prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(v) furnish counsel for each underwriter, if any, and for the selling Sponsor Stockholders copies of any correspondence with the SEC or any state securities authority relating to the registration statement or prospectus;

(vi) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including making available to its security holders an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar provision then in force); and

(vii) use all reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest possible time;

(c) Non-Shelf Registered Offerings and Shelf Takedowns. In connection with any non-shelf registered offering or shelf takedown that is demanded by the ORCP Stockholders or Other Sponsor Stockholders, as applicable, or as to which piggyback rights otherwise apply, the Company will:

(i) cooperate with the selling Sponsor Stockholders and the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Shares, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Shares, if any, to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Shares to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the governing documents thereof) and registered in such names as the selling Sponsor Stockholders or the sole underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Shares, if any, may reasonably request;

(ii) furnish to each selling Sponsor Stockholder and to each underwriter, if any, participating in the relevant offering, without charge, as many copies of the applicable prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such selling Sponsor Stockholder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Shares; the Company hereby consents to the use of the prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, by each such selling Sponsor Stockholder and underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares covered by the prospectus, the preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement;

(iii) (1) use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Shares being offered and sold, no later than the time the applicable registration statement becomes effective, under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as each underwriter, if any, or any selling Sponsor Stockholder holding Shares covered by a registration statement, shall reasonably request; (2) use all reasonable efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) effective during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective; (3) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in the registration statement; and (4) do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each such underwriter, if any, and selling Sponsor Stockholder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Shares owned by such selling Sponsor Stockholder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to consent to be subject to general service of process (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Shares in connection therewith) in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph (iii) or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;

(iv) (1) use all reasonable efforts to cause all Shares being sold to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on the NYSE or any other U.S. securities exchange on which Shares issued by the Company are then so qualified or listed, (2) use all reasonable efforts to comply (and continue to comply) with the requirements of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, including without limitation all corporate governance requirements, (3) use its best efforts to cause Shares covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Shares, and (4) use best efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Shares to be sold by the selling Sponsor Stockholders not later than the effective date of such registration statement (and in connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the registration statement to be delivered to such transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions reasonably required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Shares without any legend upon sale by the selling Sponsor Stockholders or the underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Shares, if any, of such Shares under the registration statement);

(v) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter in an underwritten offering;

(vi) use all reasonable efforts to facilitate the distribution and sale of any Shares to be offered pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation by making road show presentations, holding meetings with and making calls to potential investors and taking such other actions as shall be requested by the selling Sponsor Stockholders or the lead managing underwriter of an underwritten offering;

(vii) enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein) and take all other customary and appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shares in connection therewith, including:

(1) make such representations and warranties to the selling Sponsor Stockholders and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings;

(2) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company in all relevant jurisdictions and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the lead managing underwriter, if any) addressed to each selling Sponsor Stockholder and the underwriters, if any, covering the matters and jurisdictions customarily covered in opinions requested in sales of securities or underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Sponsor Stockholders and underwriters;

(3) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any Subsidiary of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Primo Water Corporation and Triton Water Parent, Inc.) or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the registration statement) addressed to the selling Sponsor Stockholders, if permissible, and the underwriters, if any, which letters shall be customary in form and shall cover matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters to underwriters in connection with primary underwritten offerings;

(4) to the extent requested by the selling Sponsor Stockholders, cause the Company’s Directors and executive officers to enter into lockup agreements in customary form; and

(5) to the extent requested and customary for the relevant transaction, enter into a securities sales agreement with the selling Sponsor Stockholders providing for, among other things, the appointment of such representative as agent for the selling Sponsor Stockholders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of Shares, which agreement shall be customary in form, substance and scope and shall contain customary representations, warranties and covenants.

The above shall be done at such times as customarily occur in similar registered offerings or shelf takedowns.

(viii) take all actions to ensure that any free writing prospectus utilized in connection with any registration or offering hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act in relation to the circulation of a prospectus, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act and, when taken together with the related prospectus, prospectus supplement and related documents, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ix) permit any selling Sponsor Stockholder that, in its sole exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and to allow such selling Sponsor Stockholder to provide language for insertion therein, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which in the reasonable judgment of such selling Sponsor Stockholder and its counsel should be included;

(x) use reasonable best efforts to (1) make Form S-1 or a successor form (or Form S-3 or a successor form to the extent permissible) available for the sale of Shares and (2) prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or the issuance of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Shares included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, and in the event any such order is issued, use best efforts to obtain promptly the withdrawal of such order;

(xi) if requested by any managing underwriter and reasonably available, include in any prospectus or prospectus supplement updated financial or business information for the Company’s most recent period or current quarterly period (including estimated results or ranges of results) if required for purposes of marketing the offering in the view of the managing underwriter;

(xii) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act;

(xiii) cooperate with each selling Sponsor Stockholder covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Shares and their respective counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of applications, notices, registrations and responses to requests for additional information with FINRA, the NYSE or any other national securities exchange on which the Shares are or are to be listed, and to the extent required by the rules and regulations of FINRA, retain a Qualified Independent Underwriter acceptable to the managing underwriter;

(xiv) if the Company files an automatic shelf registration statement covering any Shares, use its best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)) during the period during which such automatic shelf registration statement is required to remain effective;

(xv) if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Shares at the time an automatic shelf registration statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Shares are to be sold;

(xvi) if the automatic shelf registration statement has been outstanding for at least three years, at the end of the third year, refile a new automatic shelf registration statement covering the Shares, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its best efforts to refile the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a successor form and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 or a successor form and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept effective;

(xvii) if the Company plans to file any automatic shelf registration statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the ORCP Stockholders, and the ORCP Stockholders do not request that their Shares be included in such shelf registration statement, the Company agrees that, at the request of the ORCP Stockholders, it will include in such automatic shelf registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act in order to ensure that the ORCP Stockholders may be added to such shelf registration statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment (and if the Company has filed any automatic shelf registration statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the ORCP Stockholders, the Company shall, at the request of the ORCP Stockholders, file any post-effective amendments necessary to include therein all disclosure and language necessary to ensure that the ORCP Stockholders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement); and

(xviii) with respect to any shelf takedown that is demanded by the ORCP Stockholders or any Other Sponsor Stockholder, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions necessary to facilitate such shelf takedown by the ORCP Stockholders or such Other Sponsor Stockholder as soon as possible, and in any event within 72 hours of receipt of notice of any such shelf takedown (but in no event less than two business days after the receipt of such notice) (the “Preparation Period”); provided, that the Company agrees that after such Preparation Period, it shall be prepared to cooperate to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such shelf takedown on any trading day during the following 15 business days without requiring an additional Preparation Period; provided, further, that the ORCP Stockholders or the Other Sponsor Stockholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with at least five business days’ advanced notice of any intention to submit a notice of request for registration.

(d) Due Diligence. In connection with each registration and offering of Shares to be sold by the Sponsor Stockholders, the Company will, in accordance with customary practice, make available for inspection by representatives of the Sponsor Stockholders participating in such offering and underwriters and any counsel or accountant retained by such Sponsor Stockholders or underwriters all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause appropriate officers, managers and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with their due diligence exercise.

(e) Information from Stockholders. Each Sponsor Stockholder that holds Shares covered by any registration statement will timely furnish to the Company such information regarding itself as is required to be included in the registration statement, the ownership of Shares by such Sponsor Stockholder and the proposed distribution by such Sponsor Stockholder of such Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

3.4 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any registration under the Securities Act by any registration statement of Shares held by the Sponsor Stockholders pursuant to the rights granted in this Agreement, the Company will hold harmless the Sponsor Stockholders, any such Sponsor Stockholder’s officers, directors, employees, agents, fiduciaries, stockholders, managers, partners, members, affiliates, direct and indirect equityholders, consultants and representatives, and any successors and assigns thereof, and each underwriter of such securities and each other person, if any, who controls any ORCP Stockholder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which the Sponsor Stockholders or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (1) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or (2) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 3.4, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the “blue sky” or securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and will reimburse any such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with information specifically regarding such Indemnified Party furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such Indemnified Party specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) Indemnification by the Sponsor Stockholders. Each Sponsor Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 3.4(a)) the Company, its officers, Directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act), with respect to Losses (as determined by a final and unappealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) arising from (i) any statement or omission from such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information specifically regarding such Sponsor Stockholder furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such Sponsor Stockholder for use in the preparation of such registration statement or amendment or supplement and (ii) compliance by such Sponsor Stockholder with applicable law in effecting the sale or other disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement; provided, that in each case, such obligation shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Sponsor Stockholder from the sale of Shares pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party (which shall include any Indemnified Party) of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 3.4(a) and Section 3.4(b), the indemnified party will, if a resulting claim is to be made or may be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this Section 3.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party’s expense unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within 30 days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party which (x) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification required by this Section 3.4 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable Losses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and (ii) if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and the Sponsor Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 3.4(d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.4(d), no Sponsor Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of the securities by such Sponsor Stockholder exceeds the amount of any damages which the indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such a fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Non-Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract (and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be considered the indemnitors of first resort in all such circumstances to which this Section III applies) and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Shares and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

3.5 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, including Section 3.5(a), until the expiration of the lock-up period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the three-month anniversary of the Effective Time (such period, the “Restricted Period”), the Sponsor Stockholders will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise directly transfer or dispose of any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively with the Common Stock, the “Lock-Up Securities”), whether any such transaction described in this clause (i) is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or any other Lock-Up Securities in cash or otherwise or (ii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities (other than in connection with the exercise of registration rights under this Agreement), or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Sponsor Stockholder may:

(i) Transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, such Sponsor Stockholders’ Lock-Up Securities:

(1) to any Permitted Transferees;

SECTION IV. PURCHASE AND NOTICE RIGHTS

4.1 Purchase and Notice Rights.

(a) From and after the Effective Time and so long as the ORCP Stockholders Beneficially Own at least fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding Common Stock, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes any public or non-public offering of any capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company or its Subsidiaries or any securities that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, or equity-linked securities of, the Company or its Subsidiaries (collectively “Equity Securities”)), including, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, warrants, options or other such rights (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (i) issuances of Equity Securities to Directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company, (ii) issuances of Equity Securities pursuant to an employee stock option plan, management incentive plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan or stock ownership plan or similar benefit plan, program or agreement, (iii) issuances made as consideration for any acquisition (by sale, merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or otherwise) by the Company of equity in, or assets of, another Person, business unit, division or business, (iv) issuances of any securities issued as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or reorganization or similar event, (v) the issuances of shares of equity securities in connection with a bona fide strategic partnership or commercial arrangement with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (1) any such strategic partnership or commercial arrangement with a private equity firm or similar financial institution or (2) an issuance the primary purpose of which is the provision of financing), (vi) securities issued pursuant to the conversion, exercise or exchange of Class B Common Stock issued to the ORCP Stockholders, and (vii) shares of a Subsidiary of the Company issued to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company), the Initial ORCP Stockholder and each ORCP Stockholder to which the Initial ORCP Stockholder later Transfers any shares of Class B Common Stock or Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of Class B Common Stock shall be afforded the opportunity to acquire from the Company such ORCP Stockholder’s Purchase Rights Portion (as defined below) of such New Securities for the same price as that offered to the other purchasers of such New Securities.

(b) Subject to the foregoing proviso in Section 4.1(a), the amount of New Securities that each ORCP Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (i) the total number of such offered shares of New Securities by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (in the aggregate and on an as converted basis) held by such ORCP Stockholder, as of such date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by all stockholders of the Company (on an as converted basis) outstanding as of such date (the “Purchase Rights Portion”).

(c) If the Company proposes to offer New Securities, it shall give the ORCP Stockholders written notice of its intention, describing the anticipated price (or range of anticipated prices), anticipated amount of New Securities and other material terms and timing upon which the Company proposes to offer the same (including, in the case of a registered public offering and to the extent available, a copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement filed with respect to such offering) at least seven business days prior to such issuance (or, in the case of a registered public offering, at least seven business days prior to the commencement of such registered public offering) (provided, that, to the extent the terms of such offering cannot reasonably be provided seven business days prior to such issuance, notice of such terms may be given as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event prior to such issuance). The Company may provide such notice to the ORCP Stockholders on a confidential basis prior to public disclosure of such offering. Other than in the case of a registered public offering, an ORCP Stockholder may notify the Company in writing at any time on or prior to the second business day immediately preceding the date of such issuance (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second business day immediately preceding the date of such issuance, at any time prior to such issuance) whether such ORCP Stockholder will exercise such purchase rights and as to the amount of New Securities such ORCP Stockholder desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.1(b). In the case of a registered public offering, any ORCP Stockholder shall notify the Company in writing at any time prior to the second business day immediately preceding the date of commencement of such registered public offering (or, if notice of all such terms has not been given prior to the second business day immediately preceding the date of commencement of such registered public offering, at any time prior to the date of commencement of such registered public offering) whether such ORCP Stockholder will exercise such purchase rights and as to the amount of New Securities such ORCP Stockholder desires to purchase, up to the maximum amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.1(b). Such notice to the Company shall constitute a binding commitment by such ORCP Stockholder to purchase the amount of New Securities so specified at the price and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. Subject to receipt of the requisite notice of such issuance by the Company, the failure of such ORCP Stockholder to respond prior to the time a response is required pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) shall be deemed to be a waiver of such ORCP Stockholder’s purchase rights under this Section 4.1 only with respect to the offering described in the applicable notice.

(d) Each ORCP Stockholder shall purchase the New Securities that it has elected to purchase under this Section 4.1 concurrently with the related issuance of such New Securities by the Company (subject to the receipt of any required approvals from any government, court, regulatory or administrative agency, commission, arbitrator or authority or other legislative, executive or judicial governmental official or entity (in each case including any self-regulatory organization), whether federal, state or local, domestic, foreign or multinational, to consummate such purchase by such ORCP Stockholder); provided, that if such related issuance is prior to the twentieth (20^th) business day following the date on which such ORCP Stockholder has notified the Company that it has elected to purchase New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1, then each ORCP Stockholder shall purchase such New Securities within 20 business days following the date of the related issuance. If the proposed issuance by the Company of securities which gave rise to the exercise by the ORCP Stockholders of its purchase rights pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be terminated or abandoned by the Company without the issuance of any New Securities, then the purchase rights of the ORCP Stockholders pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall also terminate as to such proposed issuance by the Company (but not any subsequent or future issuance), and any funds in respect thereof paid to the Company by the ORCP Stockholders in respect thereof shall be promptly refunded in full.

(e) In the case of the offering of securities for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such fair value as determined by the Board of Directors shall not exceed the aggregate market price of the securities being offered as of the date the Board of Directors authorizes the offering of such securities.

(f) In the event that the ORCP Stockholders are not entitled to acquire any New Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1 because such issuance would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of such New Securities to the ORCP Stockholders as a result of any such ORCP Stockholder’s status, if applicable, as an Affiliate of the Company or pursuant to the rules and listing standards of the NYSE (including NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 312.03(c)), the Company shall, upon the ORCP Stockholder’s reasonable request delivered to the Company in writing within seven business days following its receipt of the written notice of such issuance to such ORCP Stockholder pursuant to Section 4.1(c), at such ORCP Stockholder’s election, (i) waive the restrictions set forth in Section 4.1 solely to the extent necessary to permit such ORCP Stockholder to acquire such number of New Securities equivalent to its Purchase Rights Portion of such issuance such ORCP Stockholder would have been entitled to purchase had it been entitled to acquire such New Securities pursuant to Section 4.1(a) through (c); (ii) consider and discuss in good faith modifications proposed by such ORCP Stockholder to the terms and conditions of such portion of the New Securities which would otherwise be issued to such ORCP Stockholder such that the Company would not be required to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of such New Securities as so modified; and/or (iii) solely to the extent that stockholder approval is required in connection with the issuance of New Securities to Persons other than the ORCP Stockholders, use reasonable best efforts to seek stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any New Securities to the ORCP Stockholders.

(g) The election by any ORCP Stockholder to not exercise its purchase rights under this Section 4.1 in any one instance shall not affect its right as to any subsequent proposed issuance.

(h) The Company and the ORCP Stockholders shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the exercise of the ORCP Stockholders’ rights pursuant to this Section 4.1, including using reasonable best efforts to secure any required approvals or consents.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company intends to (i) issue any additional shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible thereinto), including any issuances of Class A Common Stock pursuant to an equity compensation plan or upon the conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of warrants or options, or (ii) repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible thereinto), including any repurchases of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible thereinto) pursuant to a share repurchase program established by the Board of Directors, the Company shall provide written notice to the ORCP Stockholders of such intended issuance(s) and repurchase(s) as promptly as practicable, and in no event at least five business days prior to any such issuance or repurchase; provided, however, that such written notice must only be provided by the Company to the ORCP Stockholders until such time as the ORCP Stockholders inform the Company in writing that they no longer wish to receive written notice of such intended issuance(s) or repurchase(s).

SECTION V. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MATTERS⁴

5.1 Board of Directors.

(a) For so long as a Sponsor Stockholder (other than a Specified Mutual Fund) Beneficially Owns greater than or equal to five percent (5%) of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, such Sponsor Stockholder shall have certain Director nomination rights (each such Sponsor Stockholder, a “Nominating Sponsor Stockholder” and collectively, the “Nominating Sponsor Stockholders”) as described more fully in Section 5.1(b) below. For so long as at least one Sponsor Stockholder qualifies as a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder, unless otherwise requested in writing by the ORCP Stockholders, the Company shall cause the Total Number of Directors to be fixed at the number of Directors included in the table below that corresponds with the Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders (subject to clause (b) below):

Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders		Total Number of Directors

Less than 53%, but greater than or equal to 45%		15
Less than 45%, but greater than or equal to 40%		14

Less than 25%, but greater than or equal to 15%		12
Less than 15%, but greater than or equal to 5%		12
Less than 5%		11

⁴ NTD: In the event that proposed DGCL Sec 122(h) is not adopted in a form satisfactory to ORCP prior to the filing hereof, this Section V shall be included in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation instead of this Agreement.

(b) The Nominating Sponsor Stockholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate a number of individuals for election to the Board of Directors equal to the Sponsor Board Representation Number (with each of such individuals being nominated by the applicable Nominating Sponsor Stockholder as such Nominating Sponsor Stockholder shall from time to time designate in writing to the Company) and who are reasonably acceptable to the Unaffiliated Directors (each, a “Sponsor Nominee”); provided, that a Sponsor Nominee who is a senior employee or operating executive of a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder shall be considered to be reasonably acceptable to the Unaffiliated Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the Unaffiliated Directors may determine that a Sponsor Nominee is not reasonably acceptable if such Sponsor Nominee is a Competing Director. The Sponsor Board Representation Number shall be equal to that number of Directors included in the table below that corresponds with the collective Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders that is included in the table below, based on the percentages shown below of shares Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders in the aggregate:

Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders		Sponsor Board Representation Number

Less than 25%, but greater than or equal to 15%		2
Less than 15%, but greater than or equal to 5%		1

In the event that more than one Sponsor Stockholder qualifies as a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder pursuant to this Section 5.1, such Sponsor Nominees shall be allocated among the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders as determined by the ORCP Stockholders in their sole discretion, provided, however, that (i) without the consent of the Unaffiliated Directors, in no event shall the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders that are not ORCP Stockholders have the right to designate more than one Sponsor Nominee in the aggregate, (ii) in the event that the aggregate number of Sponsor Nominees is limited pursuant to the preceding clause (i) (so as to be a lower number than it would have been but for the application of such clause), then (x) the aggregate number of Sponsor Nominees shall be the sum of (A) the Sponsor Nominees the ORCP Stockholders are entitled to designate according to the Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock by the ORCP Stockholders without regard for the holdings of other Nominating Sponsor Stockholders, plus (B) the additional Sponsor Nominee designated by the other Nominating Sponsor(s), (y) the aggregate Sponsor Board Representation Number included in the table above shall be deemed reduced to give effect to such limitation, and (z) the Total Number of Directors, as determined pursuant to Section 5.1(a) above, shall be correspondingly reduced, and (iii) in no event shall the total number of Sponsor Nominees exceed the Sponsor Board Representation Number. In the event that the ORCP Stockholders intend to allocate the right to designate a Director Nominee to a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder that is not an ORCP Stockholder as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the ORCP Stockholders shall (i) provide notice to the Unaffiliated Directors regarding such determination and (ii) if such designee is intended to replace a Director previously designated to the Board of Directors by the ORCP Stockholders, then the ORCP Stockholders shall notify the Unaffiliated Directors which Director Nominee designated by the ORCP Stockholders such designee will replace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder ceases to Beneficially Own greater than or equal to 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, such Sponsor Stockholder shall cease to be a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder for purposes of this Section 5.1 and shall no longer have the right to nominate any Sponsor Nominees; (ii) in no event shall the ORCP Stockholders be entitled to nominate a majority of the Total Number of Directors pursuant to this Section 5.1 if doing so would violate the terms of either of the Primo Indentures; and (iii) for so long as the Initial ORCP Stockholder is entitled to nominate a number of Sponsor Nominees representing less than a majority of the Total Number of Directors, the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders, together with the Unaffiliated Directors, shall be entitled to mutually agree on any replacement of (including by filing a vacancy created by the resignation or removal of) the Mutually Agreed Director and any successive replacements thereof.

(c) For so long as the Sponsor Stockholders have the right to nominate any Sponsor Nominees, in connection with each election of Directors, (i) the Company shall nominate each such Sponsor Nominee for election as a Director as part of the slate that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of Directors, and shall provide the highest level of support for the election of each such Sponsor Nominee as it provides to any other individual standing for election as a Director as part of the Company’s slate of Directors, and the Board of Directors shall recommend that the stockholders of the Company elect to the Board of Directors each such Sponsor Nominee, and (ii) the Company shall include in the slate that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of Directors, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, only (1) the Sponsor Nominees nominated by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders in accordance with Section 5.1(b) and (2) the other Director nominees nominated by the Unaffiliated Directors (or a committee thereof). For so long as the Sponsor Stockholders have the right to nominate any Sponsor Nominees, the Board of Directors (and any committee thereof) shall not nominate (and the Company shall not include in the slate that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of Directors) a number of nominees for any election of Directors that exceeds the total number of Directors on the Board of Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from including Director nominees submitted by stockholders (other than the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders during the 24-month period following the Effective Time, each of whom agrees that, during (and only during) such period, it will not, and will cause its controlled Affiliates not to, make such a submission) for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement under proxy access or similar rules under the Exchange Act.

(d) If the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders have nominated fewer Directors than the Sponsor Board Representation Number, the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders shall have the right, at any time, to nominate such additional number of Sponsor Nominees to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1(b). In such event, the Board of Directors shall take all necessary action to: (i) increase the size of the Board of Directors if required to enable the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders to so nominate such additional Sponsor Nominees and (ii) designate such additional Sponsor Nominees nominated by the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders to fill such newly created directorships, as applicable; provided, however, that the number of authorized Directors shall not exceed the Total Number of Directors.

(e) If, from time to time, the Sponsor Board Representation Number shall decrease as a result of a decrease in the Beneficial Ownership of Class A Common Stock of a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder, the applicable Sponsor Stockholder shall take all necessary action to cause the applicable number of Sponsor Nominees to promptly (and in any event within five business days) tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors and all committees thereof. Such resignation or resignations shall be subject to delay at the request of the Unaffiliated Directors. If such resignation or resignations are then accepted by Unaffiliated Directors on behalf of the Board of Directors, the Company shall cause the size of the Board of Directors to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 5.1(a). Subject to the immediately foregoing sentences, (i) none of the Sponsor Stockholders shall vote in favor of the removal of any Sponsor Nominee from the Board of Directors without the prior written consent of the applicable Nominating Sponsor Stockholder and (ii) in the event that a Sponsor Nominee shall cease to serve as a Director for any reason (including any removal thereof), the applicable Nominating Sponsor Stockholder shall have the right to nominate another Sponsor Nominee to fill any vacancy resulting therefrom and the Company shall take all necessary action to fill such vacancy with the Sponsor Nominee and shall take the actions set forth in Section 5.1(g) with respect to such Sponsor Nominee (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Director seat shall remain vacant until such vacancy is filled in accordance with this Section 5.1(e)). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the failure of the stockholders of the Company to elect any Sponsor Nominee shall not affect the right of the applicable Nominating Sponsor Stockholder to nominate the Sponsor Nominee for election pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) in connection with any future election of Directors. During the 24-month period following the Effective Time, a vacancy created by an Unaffiliated Director ceasing to serve as a Director for any reason (including any removal thereof) shall be filled by the Unaffiliated Directors with an individual chosen by the Unaffiliated Directors who is reasonably acceptable to the Initial ORCP Stockholder (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Following such 24-month period following the Effective Time, a vacancy created by an Unaffiliated Director ceasing to serve as a Director for any reason (including any removal thereof) shall be filled by the Board of Directors with, so long as the Initial ORCP Stockholder is entitled to appoint at least two Directors, an individual chosen by the Board of Directors who is reasonably acceptable to the Initial ORCP Stockholder (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(f) Committees.

(i) In accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent governing documents), (1) the Board of Directors shall establish and maintain an audit committee of the Board of Directors, as well as all other committees of the Board of Directors required in accordance with applicable law and stock exchange regulations, and (2) the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution establish and maintain other committees of the Board of Directors.

(ii) Subject to Sections 5.2(c) and 5.2(d), for so long as the ORCP Stockholders have the right to nominate at least one (1) Sponsor Nominee, the ORCP Stockholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate a number of members to each committee of the Board of Directors equal to the lesser of (A) two Directors or (B) the number of Directors that is proportionate (rounding up to the whole Director) to the number of Sponsor Nominees that the ORCP Stockholders are entitled to nominate to the Board of Directors under this Agreement (it being understood that for so long as the ORCP Stockholders Beneficially Own greater than or equal to 45% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, the ORCP Stockholders shall have the right to designate at least half of the members of each committee); provided, that any such designee or designees shall be a Director, shall be qualified to serve on the applicable committee under applicable law and stock exchange listing standards, and shall qualify as “independent” under applicable stock exchange listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Any additional committee members shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

(iii) The Sponsor Nominees designated to serve on a committee of the Board of Directors shall have the right to remain on such committee until the next election of Directors, regardless of the Sponsor Board Representation Number following such designation, subject to the first sentence of Section 5.1(e), in which case the Sponsor Nominees may designate a different Sponsor Nominee to serve on such committee until such time. Unless the ORCP Stockholders notify the Company otherwise prior to the time the Board of Directors takes action to change the composition of a committee, and to the extent the Sponsor Board Representation Number is such that the ORCP Stockholders have the right pursuant to this Section 5.1(f) to nominate a committee member at the time the Board of Directors takes action to change the composition of any such committee, any Sponsor Nominee currently designated by the ORCP Stockholders to serve on a committee shall be presumed to be re-designated for such committee. If the ORCP Stockholders have designated less than the number of Directors to serve on one or more committees to which they are entitled, the ORCP Stockholders shall have the right, at any time, to designate such (or such additional number of) Sponsor Nominees to committees to which they are entitled.

(g) Other Board of Directors Matters.

(i) The Company shall reimburse each Sponsor Nominee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees thereof, including travel, lodging and meal expenses, subject to the Company’s travel and reimbursement policies that are no less favorable than the policies that apply to other Directors. In addition, with respect to any Sponsor Nominee who is not an employee of an ORCP Stockholder, at the request of applicable Nominating Sponsor Stockholder, the Company shall compensate such Sponsor Nominee in an amount and of the type (including as to incentive equity) that is no less favorable than the compensation provided to other Directors.

(ii) The Company shall obtain, for each Director nominated by the Sponsor Stockholders, customary director and officer indemnity insurance on commercially reasonable terms as determined by the Board of Directors and on terms no less favorable than the director and officer indemnity insurance obtained for other Directors.

(iii) In addition to any other indemnification rights that the Directors have pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws (or equivalent governing documents) of the Company, each person nominated by the Sponsor Stockholders to serve on the Board of Directors in accordance with this Section 5.1 shall have the right to enter into, and the Company agrees to enter into, an indemnification agreement in a form consistent with indemnification agreements customarily entered into between companies and their independent board members.

(iv) If at any time a Sponsor Nominee serving on the Board of Directors becomes a Competing Director, the applicable Sponsor Stockholder shall take all necessary action to cause such Competing Director to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors; provided, that the applicable Nominating Sponsor Stockholders shall have the right to nominate a new Sponsor Nominee to fill the resulting vacancy, including, in the case of the ORCP Stockholders, on any applicable committee of the Board of Directors, and the Company shall take all necessary action to fill such vacancy with the new Sponsor Nominee (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Director seat shall remain vacant until such vacancy is filled in accordance with this Section 5.1(g)(iv)).

(v) For so long as at least one Sponsor Stockholder qualifies as a Nominating Sponsor Stockholder, the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate a number of members to the board of directors (or similar governing body) of each Subsidiary of the Company that is proportionate (rounded up to the whole Director) to the number of Sponsor Nominees that the Nominating Sponsor Stockholders are entitled to nominate to the Board of Directors pursuant to this Agreement, and the Company shall take such actions as is necessary (including the actions specified elsewhere in this Article V, mutatis mutandis) to effect the appointment of such Persons to such boards of directors (or similar governing bodies).

7.7 Remedies; Severability.

7.10 Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and the respective successors and assigns of the parties as contemplated herein. Any successor to the Company by way of merger or otherwise must specifically agree to be bound by the terms hereof as a condition of such succession. Except with respect to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 3.4, the parties hereby agree that their respective rights set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

7.12 Consent to Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given as provided in Section 7.5. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his or her submission to jurisdiction and its or his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

(b) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

The expectation is that the initial Non-Executive Chair will serve for two years in the Non-Executive Chair role, during which time the compensation will be commensurate with the current Primo Water Corporation role or market-based levels for companies of similar size.

The combined Company will adhere to current Primo Water Corporation policies applicable to members of the Board of Directors, including any share ownership guidelines, non-employee director compensation policies, xxxxxxx xxxxxxx and reporting policies, corporate governance guidelines, etc.

While in office, the initial Non-Executive Chair’s equity interest will be held, directly or indirectly, through the Initial ORCP Stockholder and subject to the same restrictions on transfer as apply to the Initial ORCP Stockholder, other than any equity interests purchased by, or granted to, the initial Non-Executive Chair directly. While in office, the initial Non-Executive Chair may not divest any Company equity he holds in a manner that would be reportable under applicable securities laws.

Because the role is an outside director role, neither the initial Non-Executive Chair nor his related persons and entities would be involved in day-to-day Company business as employees, consultants, independent contractors or otherwise; provided, that the initial Non-Executive Chair shall participate and represent the Board of Directors and the Company in certain communications with stockholders and other stakeholders.

The successor Non-Executive Chair will be chosen by an ad hoc committee of six directors, comprising three Unaffiliated Directors chosen by all Unaffiliated Directors and three Sponsor Nominees chosen by all Sponsor Nominees.
