2

WHEREAS, with a view to augmenting and concentrating voting control in Parent with Company shareholders who have a focus on long term value creation for the purpose of providing all Company shareholders following the Merger with the most favorable conditions for both liquidity and long term value realization in their public company investment in shares of Parent capital stock, prior to the Closing, the Company intends to amend and restate the Company Certificate of Incorporation in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto (the “A&R Company Dual Class Charter”) in order to implement a dual class structure pursuant to which the existing shares of Company Capital Stock shall be re-designated into shares of Company Class A Common Stock, but solely with respect to a portion of shares of Company Capital Stock held by Xxxxxx Xxxxx (the “CEO”) and any entities, directly or indirectly, wholly-owned by the CEO (collectively, the “CEO Affiliates” and, together with the CEO, the “CEO Group”) representing approximately 33% of the sum of (a) the number of shares
3
of Company Capital Stock held by the CEO Group plus (b) underlying vested and unvested Equity Interests held by the CEO, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be exchanged for Company High Vote Stock, which shall have equivalent economic rights, including dividend and liquidation rights, as the Company Class A Common Stock, but carry additional voting rights in the form of an additional number of votes per share in a number fixed at Closing such that, immediately following the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the issuance of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class V Common Stock pursuant to Article II, the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class V Common Stock held by the CEO Group shall represent approximately (but not in excess of) ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding capital stock of Parent (collectively, the “Dual Class Structure”); and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in connection with the foregoing and also prescribe certain conditions to the Merger as specified herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each Party hereby agrees:

The Exchange Agent Fund shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Exchange Agent Agreement. Subject to Section 2.5, at the Closing, Parent shall cause to be issued or paid from the Exchange Agent Fund to each Company Stockholder that holds Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any shares of Company Restricted Stock, but excluding any Company Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Capital Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.3(c)) who has delivered to the Exchange Agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, along with all Company Certificates, if certificated (subject to Section 2.6), (A) evidence of book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of the aggregate Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class V Common Stock in respect of such Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder, (B) evidence of book-entry shares representing the number of Parent Class A Warrants of the aggregate Parent Warrants in respect of such Company Capital Stock held by such Company Stockholder, (C) evidence of book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of aggregate Earn Out Shares in respect of such Company Capital Stock held by such
8
Company Stockholder and (D) notwithstanding anything in Section 2.4(a), Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.4(c) to the contrary, an amount equal to any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such Company Stockholder has the right to receive in respect of such Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.5(g), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account such Company Stockholder identified in the Letter of Transmittal for such Company Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall Parent be required to pay to any Equity Holder or any other Person more than the Stock Consideration, Warrant Consideration and Earn Out Consideration, in each case, as allocated in accordance with this Article II.
Section 2.5 Exchange Procedures for Company Stockholders.
(a) Exchange Agent. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or its applicable Affiliate) as an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter an exchange agent agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”).
(b) Payment Procedures. Not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise deliver, to each Company Stockholder entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.3(a), a letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto, with such changes as may be agreed between the Company and Parent prior to the Closing or as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent (the “Letter of Transmittal”), together with any notice required pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or the CCC. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article VI, in the event that at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a Company Stockholder does not deliver to the Exchange Agent a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal (along with all certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock (each, a “Company Certificate” and, collectively, the “Company Certificates”), to the extent such shares of Company Capital Stock are certificated), then such failure shall not alter, limit or delay the Closing; provided, that such Company Stockholder shall not be entitled to receive its respective portion of the Merger Consideration until such Person delivers a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and its Company Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Upon delivery of such duly executed Letter of Transmittal and its Company Certificates by such Company Stockholder to the Exchange Agent, such Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of his, her or its shares of Company Capital Stock referenced in such Letter of Transmittal. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5, each share of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration to which it has been converted pursuant to this Article II. If payment is to be made to a Person (other than the record or registered Company Stockholder), it shall be a condition to such payment that any Company Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the
9
Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment being made to a Person (other than the record or registered Company Stockholder) or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(c) No Further Rights. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to have been exchanged and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the securities represented by such Company Capital Stock and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law.
(d) Equitable Adjustment. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class B Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange, or any similar event shall have occurred (including any of the foregoing in connection with the Domestication), excluding in each case the Company Recapitalization, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class B Common Stock will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this Section 2.5(d) shall not be construed to permit Parent, the Company or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(e) Dividends. No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, shall be paid to any Company Stockholder that has not delivered a properly completed, duly executed Letter of Transmittal and its Company Certificates to the Exchange Agent. After the delivery of such materials, such Company Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which had become payable with respect to shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable to such Company Stockholder.
(f) Company Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Company Dissenting Share shall not be converted into the right to receive its applicable portion of the Merger Consideration but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Company Dissenting Share pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or, if applicable, Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”). Each holder of Company Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL or the CCC, as applicable (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC, as
10
applicable). If, after the Effective Time, any Company Dissenting Share shall lose its status as a Company Dissenting Share, then any such share shall immediately be converted into the right to receive its Per Share Merger Consideration as if such share never had been a Company Dissenting Share, and Parent (or following the Closing, the Company) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the holder thereof, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.4, this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, its Per Share Merger Consideration as if such share had never been a Company Dissenting Share. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL or the CCC, as applicable, and received by the Company, and (b) the reasonable opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand with respect to any Company Dissenting Share. The Company shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, enforce any contractual waivers that the Equity Holders have granted regarding appraisal rights that would apply to the Merger.
(g) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no evidence of book-entry shares representing fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, Parent Class A Warrants or Earn Out Shares shall be issued in exchange for Company Capital Stock. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former holder of Company Capital Stock (including any shares of Company Restricted Stock, but excluding any Company Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Capital Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.3(c)) an amount in cash (rounded up to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Reference Price by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Class A Common Stock, Parent Class A Warrants or Earn Out Shares which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive, but for this Section 2.5(g).
Section 2.6 Lost Certificate. In the event any Company Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the provision by such Person of (a) a bond in such amount as Parent may reasonably require or (b) a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Company or their current or former affiliates with respect to such Company Certificate, and Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration, deliverable in respect of any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced thereof (including any shares of Company Restricted Stock, but excluding any Company Dissenting Shares and shares of Company Capital Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.3(c)) as determined in accordance with this Article II and subject to the other deliveries required by Section 2.4 and Section 2.5.
Section 2.7 Conversion of Company Equity Awards.
11
(a) Company Options.
(i) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Plan (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Option”) equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Per Share Exchange Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), at an exercise price per share of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Exchange Amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
(ii) In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, each holder of Company Options shall receive for each outstanding share of Company Common Stock underlying a Company Option, (A) an award of restricted stock units of Parent denominated in a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (each, a “Parent Warrant RSU”) equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Warrant Exchange Amount, multiplied by (3) the Closing Warrant Value Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) and (B) an award of restricted stock units of Parent denominated in a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (each, a “Parent Earn Out RSU”) equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Earn Out Exchange Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding).
(b) Company RSUs.
(i) At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Company Common Stock granted pursuant to the Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and unsettled immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into an award of restricted stock units with respect to a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to (A) the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time
12
multiplied by (2) the Per Share Exchange Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) plus (B) the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Earn Out Exchange Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) (after such conversion, the “Rollover RSUs”, with such portion of the RSU set forth in the preceding clause (B) being designated as a “Parent Earn Out RSU” for all purposes herein).
(ii) In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, each holder of Company RSUs shall receive for each of his or her respective Company RSUs, a number of Parent Warrant RSUs equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Warrant Exchange Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding), multiplied by (3) the Closing Warrant Value Amount.
(c) The treatment of the Company Options specified in this Section 2.7 will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the conversion to be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and, as applicable, Section 424 of the Code. Following the Effective Time, each Assumed Option and Rollover RSU (collectively, each, a “Rollover Award”) shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan and to the award agreement evidencing such Company Equity Award (including the term and vesting schedule), subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (or, following the Effective Time, the Parent Board or a committee thereof administering the Stock Plan) to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company’s Board of Directors (or appropriate committee thereof) shall pass resolutions and take such other actions as are necessary to provide for the treatment of the Company Options and Company RSUs as contemplated by this Section 2.7 and Company Restricted Stock as contemplated by Section 2.3.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, a holder of a Company Option shall only be granted a Parent Warrant RSU and a Parent Earn Out RSU, and a holder of a Company RSU shall only be granted a Parent Warrant RSU and a Parent Earn Out RSU if such holder remains in continuous service to the Company or its successor on the grant date of such award. In addition, and for clarity, but subject to the first two sentences of Section 2.7(c), each Parent Warrant RSU and each Parent Earn Out RSU shall be subject to substantially the same service-based vesting condition as applied to the former Company Option or former Company RSU; provided that, in addition thereto, (i) one third of each Parent Earn Out RSU shall also be subject to each of the share-price based performance vesting conditions described in Section 2.10(b)(i), (ii) an
13
additional one third of each Parent Earn Out RSU shall also be subject to each of the share-price based performance vesting conditions described in Section 2.10(b)(ii) and (iii) the remaining one third of each Parent Earn Out RSU shall also be subject to each of the share-price based performance vesting conditions described in Section 2.10(b)(iii); provided, further, that following satisfaction of the service-based vesting condition applicable to a Parent Earn Out RSU (and, for the avoidance of doubt, satisfaction of the Achievement Date with respect to the applicable portion of such Parent Earn Out RSU), such award shall remain outstanding pursuant to its terms during the Earn Out Period following termination of the holder’s continuous service.
Section 2.8 Conversion of Company Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.19(b), each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and that would automatically and fully be exercised in accordance with its terms by virtue of the occurrence of the Merger without the requirement of any other election or action by the Company or holder thereof, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be exercised in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time and such Company Warrant shall be cancelled and eligible for the consideration set forth in Section 2.3 based upon the number of shares of Company Capital Stock into which such Company Warrant was automatically exercised. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be entitled to elect to adjust the exercise price of any such Company Warrant in accordance with the terms thereof in order for such Company Warrant to be automatically exercised in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.8(a) and Section 5.19(b), each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (and which is not automatically and fully exercised in accordance with its terms pursuant to Section 2.8(a)) (each, an “Assumed Warrant”) shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and converted into a warrant to purchase (A) that number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to such Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Per Share Exchange Amount, (B) a number of Parent Class A Warrants equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to such Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Warrant Exchange Amount and (C) that number of Earn Out Shares equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to such Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Earn Out Exchange Amount, with such Earn Out Shares being issuable upon exercise of such Parent Class A Warrant in accordance with Section 2.10(a), Section 2.10(b)(i), Section 2.10(b)(ii) and Section 2.10(b)(iii), and with each respective Earn Out Share subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions as are provided therein. Each Assumed Warrant shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Assumed Warrant shall have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of Parent Class A Common Stock subject to such Assumed Warrant by (y)
14
the Per Share Exchange Amount (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Upon exercise of any Assumed Warrant, no evidence of book-entry shares representing fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, Parent Class A Warrants or Earn Out Shares shall be issued in exchange for the Parent Common Stock issuable thereunder; in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to such holder of Assumed Warrants upon the exercise thereof (including by setoff against the exercise price that would otherwise be tendered) an amount in cash (rounded up to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Reference Price by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Class A Common Stock, Parent Class A Warrants or Earn Out Shares which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive, but for this Section 2.8(b).
Section 2.9 Cancellation of Sponsor Shares and Sponsor Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of, and as further specified in, the Sponsor Agreement, immediately prior to the Domestication, Parent and the Parent Sponsor shall irrevocably cause to be terminated, forfeited, surrendered and cancelled, for no consideration and without further right, obligation or liability of any kind or nature on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Parent Sponsor: (a) 1,257,813 Sponsor Shares and (b) 1,004,167 Sponsor Warrants. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Class B Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange, or any similar event shall have occurred (including any of the foregoing in connection with the Domestication), then the number of Sponsor Shares and Sponsor Warrants to be terminated, forfeited, surrendered and cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.9 and the Sponsor Agreement, will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this Section 2.9 shall not be construed to permit Parent or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 2.10 Earn Out.
(a) At or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.7 and Section 2.8, Parent shall issue the Earn Out Shares, with (i) one third of such Earn Out Shares subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions provided for in Section 2.10(b)(i) (the “$15 Earn Out Shares”), (ii) an additional one third of such Earn Out Shares subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions provided for in Section 2.10(b)(ii) (the “$17.50 Earn Out Shares”), and (iii) the remaining one third of such Earn Out Shares subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions provided for in Section 2.10(b)(iii) (the “$20 Earn Out Shares”).
(b) The Earn Out Shares and Parent Earn Out RSUs (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to any remaining service-based vesting condition as provided in Section 2.7(d)) shall be subject to the following vesting conditions:
(i) If, at any time during the five (5) years following the Closing (the “Earn Out Period”), the Parent Common Stock Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any ten (10) Trading Days within any twenty- (20-) Trading Day
15
period (such time when the foregoing is first satisfied, the “First Earn Out Achievement Date”), the $15 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided for in Section 2.10(e);
(ii) If, at any time during the Earn Out Period, the Parent Common Stock Price is greater than or equal to $17.50 for any ten (10) Trading Days within any twenty- (20-) Trading Day period (such time when the foregoing is first satisfied, the “Second Earn Out Achievement Date”), the $17.50 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided for in Section 2.10(e); and
(iii) If, at any time during the Earn Out Period, the Parent Common Stock Price is greater than or equal to $20.00 for any ten (10) Trading Days within any twenty- (20-) Trading Day period (such time when the foregoing is first satisfied, the “Third Earn Out Achievement Date”, collectively with the First Earn Out Achievement Date and the Second Earn Out Achievement Date, the “Achievement Dates”), the $20 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to the forfeiture conditions provided for in Section 2.10(e).
(c) Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, each Company Stockholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each holder of Company Restricted Stock) and each Company Warrant Holder issued Earn Out Shares upon the Closing or upon the exercise of an Assumed Warrant, respectively, shall be entitled to the voting and dividend rights generally granted to holders of Parent Class A Common Stock; provided that the Earn Out Shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to, without limiting Section 2.10(f), any consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction and may not be offered, sold, transferred, redeemed, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by such Person or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent of Parent, and shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions. Any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of such Earn Out Shares shall be null and void.
(d) If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period or prior to the occurrence of the Achievement Date for which the equivalent Earn Out Shares vest pursuant to Section 2.10(b), any holder of a Parent Earn Out RSU or Parent Warrant RSU ceases, for any reason or no reason, to remain in continuous employment with Parent or a Group Company, all Parent Earn Out RSUs and Parent Warrant RSUs with respect to which service-based vesting has not been satisfied shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Parent and shall be cancelled by Parent and cease to exist.
(e) If the vesting of (i) any of the $15 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs, (ii) the $17.50 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs or (iii) the $20 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, then the applicable Earn Out
16
Shares and the applicable equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs which would have vested (but did not vest during the Earn Out Period) pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), Section 2.10(b)(ii) or Section 2.10(b)(iii) shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Parent and shall be cancelled by Parent and cease to exist.
(f) In the event that there is a Company Sale after the Closing and during the Earn Out Period that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Common Stock receiving a Company Sale Price equal to or in excess of the applicable price per share set forth set forth in Section 2.10(b)(i), Section 2.10(b)(ii) and Section 2.10(b)(iii), then immediately prior to the consummation of the Company Sale any such vesting of Earn Out Shares or of Parent Earn Out RSUs set forth therein that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and the holders of such Earn Out Shares and Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be eligible to participate in such Company Sale. For avoidance of doubt, assuming no prior vesting of such Earn Out Shares and Parent Earn Out RSUs has occurred:
(i) if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Parent Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, but less than $17.50 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, the $15 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be deemed to have fully vested (and the $17.50 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs and $20 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Parent and shall be cancelled by Parent and cease to exist);
(ii) if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Parent Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $17.50 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, but less than $20.00 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, the $15 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs and the $17.50 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be deemed to have fully vested (and the $20 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Parent and shall be cancelled by Parent and cease to exist); and
(iii) if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Parent Class A Common Stock is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, the $15 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs, the $17.50 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs and the $20 Earn Out Shares and the equivalent Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be deemed to have fully vested;
provided that if the Company Sale Price for acquisition of the Parent Class A Common Stock is less than $15.00 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, then no Earn Out Shares or Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be deemed to have vested and all such Earn Out Shares and Parent Earn Out RSUs shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Parent and shall be cancelled by Parent and cease to exist.
17
(g) If, during the Earn Out Period, the outstanding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the applicable price per share set forth set forth in this Section 2.10 will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.
Section 2.11 Company Recapitalization. The Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time into shares of Company Class A Common Stock and shares of Company High Vote Stock, consistent with the Dual Class Structure (the “Company Recapitalization”). In connection with the Company Recapitalization, all shares of Company Capital Stock shall convert into the right to receive (i) in the case of all Company Stockholders (other than the CEO Group), the same number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock, and (ii) in the case of the CEO Group, a combination of shares of Company Class A Common Stock and shares of Class V common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of the Company (the “Company High Vote Stock”) as contemplated by the Dual Class Structure and as set forth in the A&R Company Dual Class Charter. The related exchange agreement to be entered into in respect of such Company High Vote Stock to be issued to the CEO Group in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall provide that Parent and the Surviving Company agree to report the share exchange as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code for all Tax purposes and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the CEO Group for Taxes and any applicable penalties and associated costs if such exchange is not tax free, in whole or in part.
Section 2.12 Tax Treatment of Earn Out. The Earn Out Shares shall be treated as issued and outstanding as of the Closing and any forfeiture thereof pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties, in each case for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax law.
Section 2.13 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under all applicable Laws. To the extent that Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent withholds such amounts with respect to any Person and properly remits such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 9.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Section 9.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
Section 9.5 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.10 and Section 9.16, this Agreement is exclusively for the benefit of the Company, and its respective successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement, and for the benefit of Parent and Merger Sub, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right.
Section 9.6 Section Headings; Defined Terms. The Article and Section headings and the words used for defined terms themselves (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the express definitions thereof) contained in this Agreement are exclusively for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc.. Each Party hereby and any Person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it irrevocably agrees that any Legal Dispute shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 9.7 is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
83
court. Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that (a) such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason, (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (c) such Party’s property is exempt or immune from execution, (d) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (e) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 9.7 following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
Section 9.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto) and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in entering into this Agreement, such Party has not relied on any promises or assurances, written or oral, that are not reflected in this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto) or the Ancillary Agreements.
Section 9.9 No Strict Construction. Notwithstanding the fact that this Agreement has been drafted or prepared by one of the Parties, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company confirm that they and their respective counsel have reviewed, negotiated and adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement shall control and prior drafts of this Agreement shall not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement).
Section 9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise
84
govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof) as to all matters (including Actions related hereto), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.
Section 9.11 Specific Performance. Each of the Parties agrees that irreparable damage may occur for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that Parent and the Company shall therefore be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court in the United States or in any state or province having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled pursuant hereto, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, none of Parent, Merger Sub, nor the Company 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 the other Parties have an adequate monetary or other remedy at law. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that if either Parent or the Company seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
Section 9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining a Party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.
Section 9.13 Amendment; Modification. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the Parties.
Section 9.14 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
Section 9.15 Schedules. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Schedule or Section or subsection of any other Schedule in respect of which the applicability of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
85
Section 9.16 No Recourse. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Ancillary Agreements, all claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Parties.

Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by Law (other than as set forth in the Ancillary Agreements), (a) each Party hereby waives and releases any and all rights, claims, demands, or causes of action that may otherwise be available at law or in equity, or granted by statute, to avoid or disregard the entity form of a Party or otherwise impose liability of a Party on any Nonparty Affiliate, whether granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the veil, unfairness, undercapitalization, or otherwise, and (b) each Party disclaims any reliance upon any Nonparty Affiliates with respect to the performance of this Agreement or any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to this Agreement.

(c) Following any such conversion, the reissuance of shares of Class V Common Stock shall be prohibited, and such shares of Class V Common Stock will be retired by the Corporation and cancelled in accordance with the DGCL and the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State required thereby. Upon such retirement and filing, all references herein to Class A Common Stock will be deemed to be references to Common Stock. Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to such retirement and filing, represented one or more shares of Class A Common Stock will, following such retirement and filing, be deemed to represent an equal number of shares Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.

(f) “Transfer” of a share of Class V Common Stock means any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition, whether direct or indirect, of such share of Class V Common Stock or any legal or beneficial interest in such share of Class V Common Stock, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise), including, without limitation, a transfer of a share of Class V Common Stock to a broker or other nominee (regardless of whether there is a corresponding change in beneficial ownership), or the transfer of, or entering into a binding agreement with respect to, Voting Control over such share by proxy or otherwise (other than proxy(ies), voting instruction(s) or voting agreement(s) solicited on behalf of the Board). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pledge of shares of Class V Common Stock by a stockholder that creates a mere security interest in such shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction for so long as such stockholder continues to exercise Voting Control over such pledged shares shall not be considered a “Transfer” within the meaning of this Article IV; provided, however, that a foreclosure on such shares or other similar action by the pledgee shall constitute a “Transfer” unless such foreclosure or similar action independently qualifies as a “Permitted Transfer” at such time. A “Transfer” shall also be deemed to have occurred with respect to a share of Class V Common Stock beneficially held by the transferor, if there occurs any act or circumstance that causes such transfer to not be a Permitted Transfer.
(g) “Voting Control” with respect to a share of Class V Common Stock means the power (whether exclusive or shared) to vote or direct the voting of such share of Class V Common Stock by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise.
(h) “Voting Threshold Date” means the date on which shares of Class V Common Stock shall be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to clause (1) or (2) set forth in Section A.8(a) of this Article IV.
10. Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class V Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.
11. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Class V Common Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, whether by merger, consolidation, reclassification of capital stock or otherwise, amend, alter, change, repeal or waive any provision in Section A of this Article IV (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith) that would adversely affect the rights of holders of Class V Common Stock, without first obtaining the approval of the Founder, in addition to any other vote required by applicable law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.
B. Preferred Stock
Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is hereby authorized to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for the issuance, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock, without stockholder approval, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Preferred Stock Designation”), setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the number of shares to be included in such series, and fixing the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting power of
the shares of such series, and the designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to, the determination of the following, all as may be determined from time to time by the Board and stated in the resolution(s) or any Preferred Stock Designation providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock:
(a) the designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;
(b) the number of shares of the series, which number the Board may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding);
(c) the amounts or rates at which dividends shall be payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative;
(d) the dates on which dividends, if any, shall be payable;
(e) the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series;
(f) the terms and amount of any sinking fund, if any, provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series;
(g) the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation;
(h) whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series or such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made;
(i) restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series;
(j) the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series generally or upon specified events; and
(k) any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution(s) or any Preferred Stock Designation providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.
C. Rights and Options. The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options; provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise thereof may not be less than the par value thereof. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock a number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Preferred Stock in respect of such rights, warrants and options outstanding from time to time.
ARTICLE V
Directors
A. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.
B. Election of Directors. Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot.
C. Number of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
D. Classified Board. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, immediately following the Voting Threshold Date, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”). The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office immediately prior to the Voting Threshold Date to such classes of the Classified Board. The number of directors in each class shall be divided as nearly equally as is practicable. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date, and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Voting Threshold Date, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election.
E. Term and Removal. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission. Prior to the Voting Threshold Date, subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote or act by written consent (if action by written
consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. From and after the Voting Threshold Date, subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, no director may be removed from the Board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, in the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors occurring after the Voting Threshold Date, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes of directors so as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable.
F. Vacancies. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any newly created directorship that results from an increase in the number of directors or any vacancy on the Board that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely and exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office for the remaining term of his or her predecessor and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal. In the event of a vacancy in the Board, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, shall exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.
G. Removal. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any director (including persons elected by directors to fill vacancies in the Board) or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon.
H. Committees. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Board may establish one or more committees to which may be delegated any or all of the powers and duties of the Board to the full extent permitted by law.
I. Stockholder Nominations and Introduction of Business. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for election of directors and other business to be brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner provided by the Bylaws. Business transacted at special meetings of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
ARTICLE VI
To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no current or former director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, 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. No repeal or modification of this Article VI shall apply to or have any adverse effect on any right or protection of, or any limitation of the liability of, a current or former director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification. For purposes of this Article VI, Article VII, Article IX and Article XII, references to “director” or “officer” shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any person who has served as a director or officer of Oaktree Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company.
ARTICLE VII
The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, shall indemnify, advance expenses and hold harmless all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto (including current and former directors). The Corporation may, by action of the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses to such other employees or agents of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to such extent and to such effect as the Board shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by the DGCL. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a current or former officer or director of the Corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any rights or protection existing hereunder immediately prior to such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE VIII
Stockholder Action
A. Action without Meeting. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, from and after the time that the Founder beneficially owns less than a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance with this Certificate of Incorporation, (i) no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation except at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and (ii) no action shall be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
B. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the majority of the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and may not be called by any other person or persons. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.
ARTICLE IX
If any provision or provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation 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 provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation 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 (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its current or former 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.
ARTICLE X
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, and any other provisions authorized by the DGCL may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law; and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article X. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock required by law, by this Certificate of Incorporation or by any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, or to adopt any new provision of this Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any of Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article XI, Article XII, Article XIII, Article XIV and this sentence of this Certificate of Incorporation, or in each case, the definition of any capitalized terms used therein or any successor provision (including, without limitation, any such article or section as renumbered as a result of any amendment, alteration, change, repeal or adoption of any provision (other than such article or section as renumbered, or this sentence), in each case, of this Certificate of Incorporation). Any amendment, repeal or modification of any of Article VI, Article VII, and this sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any person existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
ARTICLE XI
Amendment of Bylaws
A. Amendment by Directors. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend and repeal the Bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board.
B. Amendment by Stockholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock required by law, by this Certificate of Incorporation or by any Preferred Stock Designation, the Bylaws may also be amended, altered or repealed and new Bylaws may be adopted by the affirmative vote or written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that if the Board recommends that stockholders approve such amendment or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such amendment or repeal shall only require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on such amendment, alteration or repeal.
ARTICLE XII
A. Forum Selection. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees or agents arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. This exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
B. Consent to Jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of Section A of this Article XII is filed in a court other than the applicable court specified in Section A of this Article XII (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the applicable courts specified in Section A of this Article XII in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Section A of this Article XII above (an “FSC Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.
C. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article XII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XII (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article XII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XII.
ARTICLE XIII
The Corporation renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, an Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes
into the possession of, any director of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director of the Corporation.
ARTICLE XIV
A. Opt Out of DGCL 203. The Corporation shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.
B. Limitations on Business Combinations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not engage in any business combination, at any point in time at which the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with any interested stockholder for a period of three (3) years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
1. prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or
2. 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 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; or (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
3. 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.
C. Definitions. For purposes of this Article XIV, the term:
1. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person.
2. “associate,” when used to indicate a relationship with any person, means: (i) any corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity of which such person is a director, officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the owner of 20% or more of any class of voting stock; (ii) any trust or other estate in which such person has at least a 20% beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (iii) any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same residence as such person.
3. “business combination,” when used in reference to the Corporation and any interested stockholder of the Corporation, means:
(a) any merger or consolidation of the Corporation (other than a merger effected pursuant to Sections 253 or 267 the DGCL) or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation: (i) with the interested stockholder; or (ii) with any other corporation, partnership,
unincorporated association or other entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder and as a result of such merger or consolidation Section B of this Article XIV is not applicable to the surviving entity;
(b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation, to or with the interested stockholder, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation;
(c) any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation of any stock of the Corporation or of such subsidiary to the interested stockholder, except: (i) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the interested stockholder became such; (ii) pursuant to a merger under Section 251(g), 253 or 267 of the DGCL; (iii) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which security is distributed, pro rata to all holders of a class or series of stock of the Corporation subsequent to the time the interested stockholder became such; (iv) pursuant to an exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase stock made on the same terms to all holders of said stock; or (v) any issuance or transfer of stock by the Corporation; provided, however, that in no case under items (iii) – (v) of this subsection (c) shall there be an increase in the interested stockholder’s proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the Corporation or of the voting stock of the Corporation (except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments);
(d) any transaction involving the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series, or securities convertible into the stock of any class or series, of the Corporation or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the interested stockholder, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or as a result of any purchase or redemption of any shares of stock not caused, directly or indirectly, by the interested stockholder; or
(e) any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits (other than those expressly permitted in subsections (a)-(d) above) provided by or through the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.
4. “control,” including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract, or otherwise. A person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Article XIV, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.
5. “interested stockholder” means any person (other than the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that: (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation; or (ii) is an Affiliate or associate of the Corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation at any time within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder; or (iii) an Affiliate or associate of any such person described in clauses (i) and (ii); provided, however, that the term “interested stockholder” shall not include: any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation set forth herein is the result of any action taken solely by the Corporation; provided, that such person shall be an interested stockholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the Corporation, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of “owner” below but shall not include any other unissued stock of the Corporation which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.
6. “owner,” including the terms “own” and “owned,” when used with respect to any stock, means a person that individually or with or through any of its Affiliates or associates:
(a) beneficially owns such stock, directly or indirectly; or
(b) has: (i) the right to acquire such stock (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of stock tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such person or any of such person’s Affiliates or associates until such tendered stock is accepted for purchase or exchange; or (ii) the right to vote such stock pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the owner of any stock because of such person’s right to vote such stock if the agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such stock arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made to ten (10) or more persons; or
(c) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (ii) of subsection (b) above), or disposing of such stock with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose Affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such stock.
7. “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.
8. “stock” means, with respect to any corporation, capital stock and, with respect to any other entity, any equity interest.

Article I
Stockholders
1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (the “Corporation”), the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal executive office of the Corporation. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any applicable successor act thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “DGCL”).
1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place, if any, where the meeting is to be held). The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or, until the Voting Threshold Date (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), by holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation acting by written consent, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The Board acting pursuant to a resolution may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders (other than, until the Voting Threshold Date, any such meeting called by holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation), before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
1.4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the DGCL) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and 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). The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at
1
such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the DGCL.
1.5 Voting List. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth 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. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) 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 (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the 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.
1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. 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, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.
1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or by the
2
stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, although less than a quorum. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (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 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
1.8 Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have such number of votes, if any, for each share of stock entitled to vote and held of record by such stockholder as may be fixed in the Certificate of Incorporation and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by applicable law. No such proxy shall be voted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.
1.9 Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class or series, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shares of such class or series), except when a different vote is required by applicable law, regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. For the avoidance of doubt, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for or against such matter. Other than directors who may be elected by the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or pursuant to any resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted by the Board, each director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.
1.10 Stockholder Action by Written Consent. If stockholders are permitted to act by written consent pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing 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 date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.10, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (if stockholders are permitted to act by written consent pursuant to the
3
Certificate of Incorporation), when no prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or to any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. If no record date has been fixed by the Board pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.10, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting if prior action by the Board is required by applicable law shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
1.11 Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Until the Voting Threshold Date and subject to any other restrictions in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of outstanding 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 to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.
1.12 Nomination of Directors.
(a) Except for (1) any directors entitled to be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, (2) any directors elected in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof by the Board to fill a vacancy or newly-created directorship or (3) as otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange regulation, at any meeting of stockholders, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures in this Section 1.12 shall be eligible for election or re-election as directors. Nomination for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board (or any committee thereof) or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (x) timely complies with the notice procedures in Section 1.12(b), (y) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (z) is entitled to vote at such meeting.
(b) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation as follows: (i) in the case of an election of directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which date shall, for purposes of the Corporation’s first annual meeting
4
of stockholders in the year of the closing of the business combination contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September [—], 2020, by and between Oaktree Acquisition Corp., Rx Merger Sub, Inc. and Hims, Inc. (the “Business Combination”), be deemed to have occurred on May 15 of such year); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than seventy (70) days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs; or (ii) in the case of an election of directors at a special meeting of stockholders, provided that the majority of the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer has determined, in accordance with Section 1.3, that directors shall be elected at such special meeting and provided further that the nomination made by the stockholder is for one of the director positions that the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, as the case may be, has determined will be filled at such special meeting, not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting and (y) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such special meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of a meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.
The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) as to each proposed nominee (1) such person’s name, age, business address and, if known, residence address, (2) such person’s principal occupation or employment, (3) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such person, (4) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among (x) the stockholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made and the respective affiliates and associates of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder and such beneficial owner, on the one hand, and (y) each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with such nominee(s), on the other hand, including all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith were the “registrant” for purposes of such Item and the proposed nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant, (5) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such proposed nominee, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such proposed nominee with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, and (6) any other information
5
concerning such person that must be disclosed as to nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and (B) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner, and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), (2) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, (3) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are being made or who may participate in the solicitation of proxies in favor of electing such nominee(s), (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (5) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (6) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person(s) named in its notice and (7) a representation whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or such Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock reasonably believed by such stockholder, such beneficial owner or such Stockholder Associated Person to be sufficient to elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination. Such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above or otherwise by this Section 1.12 are hereinafter referred to as a “Nominee Solicitation Statement.” Not later than ten (10) days after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, the information required by Items (A)(1)-(5) and (B)(1)-(5) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of such record date. In addition, to be effective, the stockholder’s notice must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to serve as a director if elected and a written statement executed by the proposed nominee acknowledging that as a director of the Corporation, the nominee will owe a fiduciary duty under Delaware law with respect to the Corporation and its stockholders. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation or whether such nominee would be independent under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and stock exchange rules and the Corporation’s publicly disclosed corporate governance guidelines. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section
6
1.12(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s nominee in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.12. For purposes of these Bylaws, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, is being made, or (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).
(c) Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation at a meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.12. In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of any meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.12 (including the previous sentence of this Section 1.12(c)), and if the chairman should determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.12, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such nomination shall not be brought before the meeting.
(d) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 1.12 shall obligate the Corporation or the Board to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the Corporation or the Board information with respect to any nominee for director submitted by a stockholder.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present a nomination, such nomination shall not be brought before the meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nominee may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.12, to be considered a “qualified representative of the stockholder”, a person must be authorized by a written instrument 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 written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.
(f) For purposes of this Section 1.12, “public disclosure” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Xxxxx News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
7
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.12; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations to be considered pursuant to this Section 1.12 (including paragraph (a)(ii) hereof), and compliance with paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 1.12 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations. Nothing in this Section 1.12 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.
1.13 Notice of Business at Annual Meetings.
(a) At any 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 (1) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any committee thereof), or (3) properly brought before the annual meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, (i) if such business relates to the nomination of a person for election as a director of the Corporation, the procedures in Section 1.12 must be complied with and (ii) if such business relates to any other matter, the business must constitute a proper matter under Delaware law for stockholder action and the stockholder must (x) have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary in accordance with the procedures in Section 1.13(b), (y) be a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (z) be entitled to vote at such annual meeting.
(b) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; (which date shall, for purposes of the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders in the year of the closing of the Business Combination, be deemed to have occurred on May 15 of such year); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting in any other year is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than seventy (70) days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.
The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (A) as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (1) a brief description of the business
8
desired to be brought before the annual meeting, (2) the text of the proposal (including the exact text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws, the exact text of the proposed amendment), and (3) the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, and (B) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner and of any Stockholder Associated Person, (2) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of record, by such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person, (3) a description of any material interest of such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person and the respective affiliates and associates of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person in such business, (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between or among such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business or who may participate in the solicitation of proxies in favor of such proposal, (5) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, swaps, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial owner or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, (6) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the business proposed pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (7) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting and (8) a representation whether such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (x) 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 and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal. Such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above or otherwise by this Section 1.13 are hereinafter referred to as a “Business Solicitation Statement.” Not later than ten (10) days after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, the information required by Items (A)(3) and (B)(1)-(6) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of such record date. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the procedures in this Section 1.13;. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 1.13(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s proposal in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.13.

(c) Without exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 1.13. In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of any annual meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether business was properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.13 (including the previous sentence of this Section 1.13(c)), and if the chairman should determine that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.13, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such business shall not be brought before the annual meeting.

(f) For purposes of this Section 1.13, the terms “qualified representative of the stockholder” and “public disclosure” shall have the same meaning as in Section 1.2.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.13, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.13; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to proposals as to any business to be considered pursuant to this Section 1.13 (including paragraph (a)(3) hereof), and compliance with paragraph (a)(3) of this Section 1.13 shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to submit business. Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.
1.14 Conduct of Meetings.

2.13 Action by Consent. 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 to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee thereof. Such filing shall be in paper
13
form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board may from time to time request. Except as the Board may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Bylaws for the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the resolution of the Board designating the committee, a committee may create one or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one or more members of the committee, and delegate to a subcommittee any or all of the powers and authority of the committee.
2.15 Compensation of Directors. Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board may from time to time determine.

16
4.2 Uncertificated Shares; Stock Certificates. The shares of the Corporation shall not be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock shall be certificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation.

In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the time of its issue.

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 or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of
17
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

If no such 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.
4.6 Regulations. The issue and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board may establish.

Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in any such waiver. 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.
5.4 Voting of Securities. Except as the Board may otherwise designate, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Chief Financial Officer may waive notice, vote, consent,

5.5 Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, or a temporary Secretary, as to any action taken by the stockholders, directors, a committee or any officer or representative of the Corporation shall as to all persons who rely on the certificate in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action.

Article VII
Indemnification and Advancement
7.1 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee
19
or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea or nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.
7.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while 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, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
7.3 Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officer, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 7.1 or
20
Section 7.2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
7.4 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 7.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 7.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be.
7.5 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, if a claim under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation, or (ii) thirty (30) days after a written claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter (but not before) bring suit against the Corporation in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, together with interest thereon, or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. It shall be a defense to any such action brought to enforce a right to indemnification (but not in an action brought to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the claimant has not met any applicable standard of conduct. If successful, in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
7.6 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred by a current or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such current or former director or officer to repay such amount
21
if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII.
7.7 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that, subject to Section 7.11, indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 7.1 or 7.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.
7.8 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, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.
7.9 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “director” or “officer” shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any person who has served as a director or officer of Oaktree Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect of any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VII.
22
7.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
7.11 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 7.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof):
(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(c) for any reimbursement of the Corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the corporation, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), or the payment to the Corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(d) initiated by such person, including any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the action, suit or proceeding (or relevant part thereof) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, (iii) otherwise required to be made under Section 7.5 or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or
(e) if prohibited by applicable law.
7.12 Contract Rights. The obligations of the Corporation under this Article VII to indemnify, and advance expenses to, a person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation shall be considered a contract between the Corporation and such person, and no modification or repeal of any provision of this Article VII shall affect, to the detriment of such person, such obligations of the Corporation in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.

(ii) For so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Board (the “Series B Director”) at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such director in accordance with applicable law and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.
(iii) The holders of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Board (the “Preferred Director”) at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors in accordance with applicable law and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.

Any director may be removed during his or her term of office without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the
9
holders of the shares of the class or series of stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the holders of that class or series of stock represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director.
(vi) No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes to which such person is entitled unless required by applicable law at the time of such election. During such time or times that applicable law requires cumulative voting, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder desires. No stockholder, however, shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (A) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (B) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such stockholder’s votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled, on a pari passu basis, to be paid out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution (or the consideration received by the Company or its stockholders in an Acquisition), an amount per share equal to (a) with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series D Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series D Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock, (b) with respect to the Series C Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series C Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock, (c) with respect to the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series B-2 Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of
10
Series B-2 Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock, (d) with respect to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series B-1 Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock, (e) with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series B Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock; (f) with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series A Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock; (g) with respect to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series A-1 Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock; and (i) with respect to the Series Seed Preferred Stock, the greater of (i) the Series Seed Original Issue Price plus all declared and unpaid dividends on the Series Seed Preferred Stock and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common pursuant to Section 5 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event assuming the conversion into Class A Common of all shares of each series of Preferred Stock that would receive a greater per share liquidation payment if converted into Class A Common than if remaining Preferred Stock. If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Preferred Stock of the liquidation preference set forth in this Section 4(a), then such assets (or consideration) shall be distributed among the holders of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
b. After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 4(a) above, the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution (or the consideration received by the Company or its stockholders in an Acquisition), if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock.
11
c. An Asset Transfer or Acquisition (each as defined below) shall be deemed a Liquidation Event for purposes of this Section 4.
(i) For the purposes of this Section 4: (i) “Acquisition” shall mean (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, continue to represent a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization (provided that, for the purpose of this Section 4(c), all shares of Class A Common issuable upon exercise of options outstanding immediately prior to such consolidation or merger or upon conversion of any other stock, options, warrants, purchase rights or other securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Common outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation and, if applicable, converted or exchanged in such merger or consolidation on the same terms as the actual outstanding shares of capital stock are converted or exchanged) or (B) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of the Company’s securities), of the Company’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company (or the surviving or acquiring entity); provided that an Acquisition shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Company or any successor or indebtedness of the Company is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof; and (ii) “Asset Transfer” shall mean a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one transaction or a series of related transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the approval, adoption, filing, consummation and/or implementation of the A&R Dual Class Company Charter, the Dual Class Structure, the Company Recapitalization (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) or pursuant to any related exchange agreement as contemplated in the Merger Agreement shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation Event, a deemed Liquidation Event or an Acquisition or Asset Transfer hereunder.
(ii) In any Acquisition or Asset Transfer, if the consideration to be received is in the form of securities of an entity or other property other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board on the date such determination is made.
d. The Company shall not have the power to effect any Liquidation Event unless the plan of liquidation or definitive agreement for such transaction (the “Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company in connection therewith shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Company in accordance with this Section 4. In the event of an Acquisition or Asset Transfer, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Company subject to contingencies, then the Agreement shall provide that (i) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital
12
stock of the Company in accordance with this Section 4 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidation Event and (ii) any additional consideration that becomes payable to the stockholders of the Company upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Company in accordance with this Section 4 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.
5. CONVERSION AND TRANSFER RIGHTS. The holders of each of the Class F Common and Preferred Stock (together, the “Convertible Stock”) and the Class V Common Stock shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of Convertible Stock and Class V Common Stock into shares of Class A Common:
a. Class F Common.
(i) Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, any shares of Class F Common may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common. The number of shares of Class A Common to which a holder of Class F Common shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Class F Common Conversion Rate then in effect (determined as provided in Section 5(a)(ii)) by the number of shares of Class F Common being converted.
(ii) Class F Common Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Class F Common (the “Class F Common Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing $0.000001 (the “Class F Original Issue Price”) by the Class F Common Conversion Price, calculated as provided in Section 5(a)(iii).
(iii) Class F Common Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Class F Common shall initially be the Class F Original Issue Price (the “Class F Common Conversion Price”). Such initial Class F Common Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 5. All references to the Class F Common Conversion Price herein shall mean the Class F Common Conversion Price as so adjusted.
b. Issuance of Class V Common Stock. Shares of Class V Common Stock may be issued only to, and registered in the name of, (i) Xxxxxx Xxxxx (the “Founder”) and/or (ii) any Permitted Class V Owner.
c. Mandatory Conversion of Class V Common Stock.
(i) All shares of Class V Common Stock shall (1) automatically and without further action on the part of the Company or any holder of Class V Common Stock be converted into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock upon any Transfer of such shares of Class V Common Stock, except for a Permitted Transfer; and (2) be subject to conversion into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock upon adoption of a resolution by the Board at any time on or after the one-year anniversary of the date (the “Founder Termination Anniversary Date”) that both of the following conditions (the “Trigger Conditions”) are satisfied:
13
(a) the earliest to occur of (A) the Founder’s employment as Chief Executive Officer being terminated for Cause or due to death or Permanent Disability and (B) the Founder resigns (other than for Good Reason) as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and
(b) either (A) the Founder no longer serves as a member of the Board or (B) the Founder serves as a member of the Board, but his service to the Company is not his primary business occupation;
provided, however, that if the Founder is reinstated as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or is reelected or appointed to serve as a member of the Board prior to the Founder Termination Anniversary Date (each a “Reset Event”), then the shares of Class V Common Stock may not be converted pursuant to clause (2) of Section 5.c(i) of this Article IV unless and until the one-year anniversary of the date that both Trigger Conditions are subsequently met (such date, the “Next Founder Termination Anniversary Date”); provided, further, that in the event of a subsequent Reset Event, the Next Founder Termination Anniversary Date will extend until the one-year anniversary of the date that both Trigger Conditions are subsequently met without a Reset Event occurring prior to such anniversary. Upon a Transfer of Class V Common Stock upon divorce by settlement, order or decree, or as required by a domestic relations settlement, order or decree, then any shares of Class V Common Stock Transferred thereby shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Company or any holder of Class V Common Stock be converted into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that any other outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock not so Transferred shall not be automatically converted into Class A Common Stock and shall remain outstanding irrespective of such automatic conversion and such Transfer in accordance with the terms hereof.
(ii) Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to such conversion, represented one or more shares of Class V Common Stock subject to such conversion will, upon such conversion, be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Company will, upon the request of any holder whose shares of Class V Common Stock have been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of such conversion and upon surrender by such holder to the Company of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such holder’s shares of Class V Common Stock (if any), issue and deliver to such holder certificate(s) representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Class V Common Stock were converted as a result of such conversion (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated or the stockholder otherwise consents, register such shares in book-entry form.
(iii) Following any such conversion, the reissuance of shares of Class V Common Stock shall be prohibited, and such shares of Class V Common Stock will be retired by the Company and cancelled in accordance with the DGCL and the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State required thereby. Upon such retirement and filing, all references herein to Class A Common Stock will be deemed to be references to Common Stock. Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to such retirement and filing, represented one or more shares of Class A Common Stock will, following such retirement and filing, be
14
deemed to represent an equal number of shares Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.
(iv) If the Company has reason to believe that a Transfer giving rise to a conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock into Class A Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the Company, the Company may request that the holder of such shares furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Company as the Company deems necessary to determine whether a conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock to Class A Common Stock has occurred, and if such holder does not within twenty-five (25) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient evidence to the Company (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Company to determine that no such conversion has occurred, any such shares of Class V Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as of the date of the transfer in question and the same will thereupon be registered on the books, records and stock ledger of the Company. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is not prohibited at such time under this Restated Certificate of Incorporation), the stock ledger of the Company shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and the class or classes or series of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder.
(v) Definitions. For purposes of this Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
(a) “Cause” means (i) an unauthorized use or disclosure by the Founder of the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ confidential information or trade secrets, which use or disclosure causes material harm to the Company or any its subsidiaries; (ii) a material breach by the Founder of any agreement between the Founder and the Company or any its subsidiaries; (iii) a material failure by the Founder to comply with the Company or any its subsidiaries’ written policies or rules; (iv) the Founder’s conviction of, or plea of “guilty” or “no contest” to, a felony under the laws of the United States or any State thereof; (v) the Founder’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (vi) a continuing failure by the Founder to perform assigned duties after receiving written notification of such failure from the Board; or (vii) a failure by the Founder to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested the Founder’s cooperation. A condition shall not be considered “Cause” unless the Company gives the Founder written notice of such condition within 90 days after such condition becomes known to the Board and the Founder fails to remedy such condition within 30 days after receiving the Company’s written notice3.
(b) “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events, without the express written consent of the Founder: (i) a reduction in the Founder’s base salary by more than 10% (other than across-the-board reductions affecting similarly situated senior executives of the Company or any of its subsidiaries); (ii) a material diminution of the Founder’s authority, duties or responsibilities; or (iii) a relocation of the Founder’s principal workplace by more than 30 miles. A condition shall not be considered “Good Reason” unless the Founder gives the Company written notice of such condition within
3 | Note to Draft: Cause and Good Reason definitions based on the Founder’s existing agreement. Each of Cause, Good Reason and Permanent Disability should be updated to reflect the terms of any updated employment agreement to be entered into concurrently with the Closing. |
15
90 days after such condition comes into existence and the Company fails to remedy such condition within 30 days after receiving the Founder’s written notice.
(c) “Permanent Disability” means a permanent and total disability such that the Founder is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which would reasonably be expected to result in death within twelve (12) months or which has lasted or would reasonably be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months as determined by a licensed medical practitioner.
(d) “Permitted Class V Owner” means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, foundation or similar entity wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) by the Founder (including all subsequent successors and assigns), or any trust for the benefit of the Founder, or of which the Founder is a trustee or has sole or shared voting power such that the Founder has Voting Control over the shares held therein; provided that, in each case, the Founder has sole dispositive power and the exclusive right to direct the voting of all of the shares of Class V Common Stock held by such entity and the Transfer to the transferee does not involve any payment of cash, securities, property or other consideration (other than an interest in such entity) to the Founder.
(e) “Permitted Transfer” means any Transfer of a share of Class V Common Stock:
(i) by the Founder to a Permitted Class V Owner; or
(ii) by a Permitted Class V Owner to the Founder or any other Permitted Class V Owner.
(f) “Transfer” of a share of Class V Common Stock means any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition, whether direct or indirect, of such share of Class V Common Stock or any legal or beneficial interest in such share of Class V Common Stock, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law (including by merger, consolidation or otherwise), including, without limitation, a transfer of a share of Class V Common Stock to a broker or other nominee (regardless of whether there is a corresponding change in beneficial ownership), or the transfer of, or entering into a binding agreement with respect to, Voting Control over such share by proxy or otherwise (other than proxy(ies), voting instruction(s) or voting agreement(s) solicited on behalf of the Board). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pledge of shares of Class V Common Stock by a stockholder that creates a mere security interest in such shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction for so long as such stockholder continues to exercise Voting Control over such pledged shares shall not be considered a “Transfer” within the meaning of this Article IV; provided, however, that a foreclosure on such shares or other similar action by the pledgee shall constitute a “Transfer” unless such foreclosure or similar action independently qualifies as a “Permitted Transfer” at such time. A “Transfer” shall also be deemed to have occurred with respect to a share of Class V Common Stock beneficially held by the transferor, if there occurs any act or circumstance that causes such transfer to not be a Permitted Transfer.
16
(g) “Voting Control” with respect to a share of Class V Common Stock means the power (whether exclusive or shared) to vote or direct the voting of such share of Class V Common Stock by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise.
d. Preferred Stock.
(i) Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, any shares of Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common. The number of shares of Class A Common to which a holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the Preferred Stock Conversion Rate then in effect (determined as provided in Section 5(b)(ii)) by the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted.
(ii) Preferred Stock Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Rate” and, each of the Preferred Stock Conversion Rate and the Class F Common Conversion Rate, a “Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price by the Preferred Stock Conversion Price, calculated as provided in Section 5(b)(iii).
(iii) Preferred Stock Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall initially be the applicable Original Issue Price (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Price” and, each of the Preferred Stock Conversion Price and the Class F Common Conversion Price, a “Conversion Price”). Such initial Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 5. All references to the Preferred Stock Conversion Price herein shall mean the Preferred Stock Conversion Price as so adjusted.
e. Mechanics of Optional Conversion. Each holder of Convertible Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of Class A Common pursuant to this Section 5 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Convertible Stock and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of each class of Convertible Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Convertible Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common on such date.
f. Conversion Price Adjustments of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, respectively, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
17
(i) If the Company shall issue, on or after the date upon which this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Date”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share that is less than the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be adjusted to a price (calculated to the nearest ten-thousandth of a cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Class A Common that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock. For purposes of this Section 5(d)(i), the term “Common Stock Outstanding” shall mean and include the following: (1) outstanding Class A Common, (2) Class A Common issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class F Common and Preferred Stock, (3) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and (4) Common Stock issuable upon exercise (and, in the case of warrants to purchase Preferred Stock, conversion) of outstanding warrants. Shares described in (1) through (4) above shall be included whether vested or unvested, whether contingent or non-contingent and whether exercisable or not yet exercisable. In the event that the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, shares of Additional Stock that results in an adjustment to a Conversion Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(d) (the “First Dilutive Issuance”), and the Company then issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, shares of Additional Stock in one or more subsequent issuances other than the First Dilutive Issuance that would result in further adjustment to a Conversion Price (each, a “Subsequent Dilutive Issuance”) pursuant to the same instruments as the First Dilutive Issuance, then, and in each such case upon a Subsequent Dilutive Issuance, the applicable Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced to the applicable Conversion Price that would have been in effect had the First Dilutive Issuance and each Subsequent Dilutive Issuance all occurred on the closing date of the First Dilutive Issuance.
(a) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) per share. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections 5(d)(i)(d)(iii) and 5(d)(i)(d)(iv), no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 5(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(b) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
18
(c) In the case of the issuance of the Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(d) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the number of shares of Additional Stock issued and the consideration paid therefor:
(i) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections 5(d)(i)(c) and 5(d)(i)(d)), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided for in such options or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(ii) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 5(d)(i)(c) and 5(d)(i)(d)).
(iii) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
19
(iv) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock, as applicable, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.
(v) The number of shares of Additional Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Subsections 5(d)(i)(d)(i) and (ii) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Subsection 5(d)(i)(d)(iii) or (iv).
(ii) “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(i)(d)) by the Company on or after the Filing Date other than:
(a) Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Subsection 5(d)(i)(d)(iii) hereof.
(b) Common Stock issued to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to plans or agreements approved by the Board.
(c) Common Stock issued pursuant to an underwritten public offering.
(d) Common Stock issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the Filing Date.
(e) Common Stock issued in connection with a bona fide business acquisition by the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise; provided that such issuances are approved by the Board.
(f) Common Stock issued or deemed issued pursuant to Subsection 5(d)(i)(d) as a result of a decrease in the Conversion Price of Class F Common or Preferred Stock resulting from the operation of Sections 5(e), 5(f) and 5(g).
(g) Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Class F Common or Preferred Stock.
(h) Common Stock issued pursuant to any equipment leasing arrangement or debt financing arrangement with a commercial bank or nationally
20
recognized institutional debt lender, which arrangement is approved by the Board and is primarily for non-equity financing purposes.
(i) Class V Common Stock issued or exchanged pursuant to the consummation or implementation of the Dual Class Structure and the Company Recapitalization (each as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Oaktree Acquisition Corp., Rx Merger Sub, Inc. and the Company, dated as of September [•], 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”)) or pursuant to any related exchange agreement as contemplated in the Merger Agreement.
g. Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If at any time or from time to time on or after the date that the first share of Class F Common is issued (the “Original Issue Date”) the Company effects a subdivision of the outstanding Class A Common, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Company combines the outstanding shares of Class A Common into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 5(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
h. Adjustment for Class A Common Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date the Company pays to holders of Class A Common a dividend or other distribution in additional shares of Class A Common, each Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, as provided below:
(i) Each Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction equal to:
(a) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Class A Common issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance, and
(b) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Class A Common issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Class A Common issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

k. Automatic Conversion.
(i) Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A Common, based on the applicable then-effective Conversion Price, immediately upon the earlier of (a) the closing of the Company’s sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that results in at least $30,000,000 of gross proceeds to the Company (a “Qualified Public Offering”) or (b) the date, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class on an as-converted basis);
22
provided, however, that (1) if such automatic conversion is in connection with or in contemplation of a Liquidation Event in which the proceeds to which the holders of Series D Preferred Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof in respect of their shares of Series D Preferred Stock would be greater than the proceeds such holders would receive if all such shares of Series D Preferred Stock were converted to Class A Common immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be so converted unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have approved such conversion, (2) if such automatic conversion is in connection with or in contemplation of a Liquidation Event in which the proceeds to which the holders of Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof in respect of their shares of Series C Preferred Stock would be greater than the proceeds such holders would receive if all such shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted to Class A Common immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, the Series C Preferred Stock shall not be so converted unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have approved such conversion, (3) if such automatic conversion is in connection with or in contemplation of a Liquidation Event in which the proceeds to which the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof in respect of their shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock would be greater than the proceeds such holders would receive if all such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock were converted to Class A Common immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall not be so converted unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have approved such conversion, (4) if such automatic conversion is in connection with or in contemplation of a Liquidation Event in which the proceeds to which the holders of Series B-1 Preferred Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof in respect of their shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock would be greater than the proceeds such holders would receive if all such shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock were converted to Class A Common immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall not be so converted unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have approved such conversion, (5) if such automatic conversion is in connection with or in contemplation of a Liquidation Event in which the proceeds to which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof in respect of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock would be greater than the proceeds such holders would receive if all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted to Class A Common immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be so converted unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have approved such conversion, and (6) if such automatic conversion is in connection with or in contemplation of a Liquidation Event in which the proceeds to which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof in respect of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock would be greater than the proceeds such holders would receive if all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted to Class A Common immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be so converted unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall have approved such conversion. Each share of Class F Common shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A Common, based on the applicable then-effective Conversion Price, immediately upon the date, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written
23
consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class F Common.
(ii) Any shares of Class F Common purchased by an investor of the Company in connection with an Equity Financing (as defined below) shall, subject to the approval of the Board, automatically be converted immediately prior to such transfer into shares of the series of Preferred Stock of the Company sold in the Equity Financing at the then-effective Class F Common Conversion Rate; provided that such investor must purchase such shares of Class F Common for the same price as the shares of Preferred Stock sold in such Equity Financing. Unless waived by all holders of Class F Common then outstanding, the Company shall provide a notice to each holder of Class F Common of an expected closing of an Equity Financing summarizing the material terms of such Equity Financing at least five (5) business days prior to the initial closing of such Equity Financing. For purposes of this Section, “Equity Financing” shall mean an equity financing of the Company in which the Company sells at least $1,000,000 worth of a newly created series of Preferred Stock of the Company.
(iii) Any share of Class F Common transferred, other than pursuant to Section 5(i)(ii) above, shall automatically be converted immediately prior to such transfer into shares of Class A Common at the then-effective Class F Common Conversion Rate.
(iv) (A) Upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 5(i)(i), 5(i)(ii) or 5(i)(iii) above, the outstanding shares of Class F Common shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent and (B) upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 5(i)(i) above, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock or Class F Common, as applicable, are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock or Class F Common, the holders of Preferred Stock or Class F Common, as applicable, shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or Class F Common, as applicable. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common into which the shares of Preferred Stock or Class F Common surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.
l. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class A Common shall be issued upon conversion of Convertible Stock. All shares of Class A Common (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Convertible Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would
24
result in the issuance of any fractional share. If after the aforementioned aggregation the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Preferred Stock or Class F Common, as applicable, (as determined in good faith by the Board) on the date of conversion.
m. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Convertible Stock, such number of its shares of Class A Common as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Convertible Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Convertible Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
n. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 5 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by electronic transmission in compliance with the provisions of the DGCL if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.
o. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common upon conversion of shares of Convertible Stock, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Class A Common in a name other than that in which the shares of Convertible Stock so converted were registered.
p. Implementation of Dual Class Structure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the approval, adoption, filing, consummation and/or implementation of the A&R Dual Class Company Charter, the Dual Class Structure, the Company Recapitalization (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) or pursuant to any related exchange agreement as contemplated in the Merger Agreement shall not be deemed to be an issuance of Additional Stock or a First Dilutive Issuance or Subsequent Dilutive Issuance and shall not result in the adjustment of any Conversion Rate or Conversion Price hereunder.
6. NO REISSUANCE OF CONVERTIBLE STOCK. Any shares of Convertible Stock redeemed, purchased, converted or exchanged by the Company shall be cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued or transferred.
25
V.

If applicable law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director to the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended.
C. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights or protections or increase the liability of any director under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

In the event that the Company files a Form S-1 pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3.

At any time and from time to time, subject to compliance by the Investors with Section 3.4, and provided that there is not an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement available for the resale of the Registerable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, Investors who hold a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Investors may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form Registration or, if then available, on Form S-3. Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration.” Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all Investors that are holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each such holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration during any six-month period or any Demand Registration at any time there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement on file with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1.
2.2.2 Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities
7
pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.
2.2.3 Underwritten Demand Registration. If the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Demand Registration. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of the Company. The parties agree that, in order to be effected, any Underwritten Demand Registration must result in either aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders of at least $25,000,000.
2.2.4 Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such Demand Registration by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration, in which case, such withdrawn Demand Registration will count as a Demand Registration for the purposes of Section 2.2.1 unless the withdrawing Holders reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Demand Registration; provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the withdrawing Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the withdrawing Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Sections 2.1.5(b). Following the receipt of a notice of withdrawal, the Company shall promptly forward such notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Demand Registration. The Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.4, other than if a Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to this Section 2.2.4.
2.3 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for an underwritten offering conducted pursuant to this Agreement advises the Company and the Investors requesting to include Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering in writing that, in such Underwriter’s or Underwriters’ opinion, the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Investors have requested to include in such underwritten offering, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which
8
registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other equityholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of securities that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included by Investors pursuant to this Agreement and any securities requested to be included by equityholders of the Company pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell for its own account; and (iii) any securities of the Company for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, other than pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.4 Piggy-Back Registration.
2.4.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time, subject to compliance by the Investors with Section 3.4, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for equityholders of the Company for their account, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (v) for a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than five (5) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within three (3) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
9
2.4.2 Reduction of Piggy-Back Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Piggy-Back Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of securities of the Company which the Company desires to sell for its own account, taken together with securities of the Company, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder and the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.4, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:
(a) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with the securities of the Company, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro Rata; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the securities of the Company for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons, other than pursuant to this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement, and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
(b) If the registration is undertaken pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, (A) first, the Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with the securities of the Company, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro Rata; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the securities of the Company for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, other than pursuant to this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
(c) If the registration is undertaken as a demand pursuant to contractual rights with the Company, other than this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement, (A) first, the securities of the Company for the account of the persons entitled to such contractual rights making such demand that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with the securities of the Company, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro
10
Rata; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the securities of the Company for the account of any other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.4.3 Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, if such offering is pursuant to a Demand Registration, or prior to the public announcement of the offering, if such offering is pursuant to an Underwritten Takedown, or similar transaction. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
2.5 Lock-up. The Company agrees and shall cause each director and officer (that makes filings pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of the Company, along with any affiliated trust holding securities controlled by or for the benefit of such directors and officers or any other entity holding equity interests of the Company over which any such director or officer exercises dispositive control with respect to such equity securities of the Company, to agree, that, in connection with each sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2 conducted as an underwritten offering, if requested, to become bound by and to execute and deliver a customary lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such offering restricting such applicable person’s or trust’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company held by such person or entity or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities during the period commencing on the date of the final Prospectus relating to such offering and ending on the date specified by the underwriters (such period not to exceed ninety (90) days). The terms of such lock-up agreements shall be negotiated among the applicable Investors, the Company and the underwriters and shall include customary exclusions from the restrictions on Transfer set forth therein.
3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:
3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand

3.1.2 Copies. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case, including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.
3.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”).
3.1.4 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than three (3) Business Days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of
12
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, excluding documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon.
3.1.5 Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.
3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
3.1.7 Comfort Letters.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.1.7 shall not apply to Block Trades.
3.1.8 Opinions and Negative Assurance Letters. In the event of an Underwritten Takedown or an Underwritten Demand Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to any Registration, the Company shall obtain an opinion and negative assurances letter, each dated such date, of one (1) counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, including an opinion of local counsel if applicable, addressed to the holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to such Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions, and, if addressed to the participating holders,
13

14
Company’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. The foregoing right to delay or suspend may be exercised by the Company for no longer than 120 days in any consecutive 12-month period. Any suspension by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall only apply to an Investor hereunder to the extent that such suspension also applies to all stockholders of the Company party to the Investor Rights Agreement.

The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders, but the Company shall pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the securities it sells for its own account.
3.4 Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities laws.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act 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; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus.
4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or
16
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.
4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such
17
judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
4.4 Contribution.
4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and/or 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 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 Section 4.4.1.
4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above in Section 4.4.1, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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 fraudulent misrepresentation.
5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.
5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

The parties hereby terminate the Original RRA, which shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement and in the event of any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor Rights Agreement shall not be deemed inconsistent with or to violate this Agreement.

This Agreement and any of the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of any Registrable Security by any such holder to a Permitted Transferee(s). This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and the holders of Registrable Securities and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 6.2. The rights of a holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement may be transferred, in whole or in part, by such a holder to a transferee who acquires or holds any Registrable Security; provided, however, that such transferee has executed and delivered to the Company a properly completed agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Joinder”), and the transferor shall have delivered to the Company no later than five (5) business days following the date of the transfer, written notification of such transfer setting forth the name of the transferor, the name and address of the transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities so transferred. The execution of a Joinder shall constitute a permitted amendment of this Agreement.
6.3 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects an Investor, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the securities of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from other Investors (in such capacity) shall require the consent of such Investor so affected. No course of dealing between any Investor or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of an Investor or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Investor or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any
19
rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.
6.4 Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) the date as of which there shall be no Registrable Securities outstanding; provided further that with respect to any Investor, such Investor will have no rights under this Agreement and all obligations of the Company to such Investor under this Agreement shall terminate upon the date that such Investor no longer holds Registrable Securities.

(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise Parent as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2, and Parent shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a). In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by those Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter advises Parent that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then Parent shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities and the equityholders of Parent who request to have securities registered pursuant to the exercise of contractual piggyback registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder and each such participating equityholder party to the Registration Rights Agreement has requested to be included in such underwriting (including the Initiating Holders). In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all other securities (other than those subject to the Registration Rights Agreement) are first excluded. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) in any particular jurisdiction in which Parent would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless
6
Parent is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or
(ii) after Parent has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; or
(iii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to Parent’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of, a Parent-initiated registration subject to Section 2.3 below, provided that Parent is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(iv) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof; or
(v) if Parent shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 a certificate signed by Parent’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to Parent and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected or remain effective at such time, in which event Parent shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right shall be exercised by Parent not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that Parent shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period (other than an Excluded Registration).
2.3 Parent Registration.
(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) Parent proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by Parent for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than (i) a registration relating to a demand pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement, (ii) an Excluded Registration, (iii) a registration statement filed during the one hundred and eighty (180) days after the closing of the Merger), Parent shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by Parent in accordance with Section 4.6 of this Agreement, Parent shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(c), use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder requests to be registered.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. Parent shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by Parent in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof.
(c) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of Parent’s capital stock, Parent shall not be required under
7
this Section 2.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between Parent and the underwriters selected by Parent (or by other Persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by Parent. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by Parent that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then Parent shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders and the equityholders of the Company who request to have securities registered pursuant to the exercise of contractual piggyback registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement based on the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder and each such participating equityholder party to the Registration Rights Agreement has requested to be included in such underwriting, or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders and participating equityholders party to the Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities (other than those subject to the Registration Rights Agreement) have been first excluded from the offering and (ii) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, partnership or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, partners, members, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and Family Members of any such partners, members and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case Parent shall receive from the Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities (for purposes of this Section 2.4, the “S-3 Initiating Holders”) a written request or requests that Parent effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, Parent shall:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written
8
request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from Parent; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of Parent entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $5,000,000;
(iii) if Parent shall furnish to all Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.4 a certificate signed by Parent’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to Parent and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event Parent shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the S-3 Initiating Holders; provided that such right shall be exercised by Parent not more than once in any twelve (12) month period;
(iv) if Parent has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 pursuant to this Section 2.4;
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which Parent would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance;
(vi) if Parent, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the request of such S-3 Initiating Holders, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the SEC within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of such request (other than an Excluded Registration), provided that Parent is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or
(vii) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to Parent’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of and ending on the date ninety (90) days following the effective date of a Parent-initiated registration subject to Section 2.3 of this Agreement, provided that Parent is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
(c) If the S-3 Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise Parent as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.4 and Parent shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.4(a). The provisions of Section 2.2(b) of this
9
Agreement shall be applicable to such request (with the substitution of Section 2.4 for references to Section 2.2).
(d) Subject to the foregoing, Parent shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the S-3 Initiating Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement.
2.5 Obligations of Parent. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, Parent shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days (except, in the case of the Resale Registration Statement, for such period of time specified in Section 2.1) or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that Parent shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering;
(f) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of Parent) relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, at the request of any such Holder,
10
Parent will, as soon as reasonably practicable, file and furnish to all such Holders a supplement or amendment to such prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of Parent) so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such 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 in light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 to be listed on a national exchange or trading system and on each securities exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by Parent are then listed;
(h) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(i) promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other pertinent records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of Parent, and cause Parent’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
(j) notify each selling Holder, promptly after Parent receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and
(k) after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that Parent amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, Parent shall be entitled to postpone or suspend, for a reasonable period of time, the filing, effectiveness or use of, or trading under, any registration statement if Parent shall determine that any such filing or the sale of any securities pursuant to such registration statement would in the good faith judgment of the Board:
(i) materially impede, delay or interfere with any material pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving Parent for which the Board has authorized negotiations;
(ii) materially and adversely impair the consummation of any pending or proposed material offering or sale of any class of securities by Parent; or
(iii) require disclosure of material nonpublic information that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of Parent and its stockholders; provided, however, that during any such period all executive officers and directors
11
of Parent are also prohibited from selling securities of Parent (or any security of any of Parent’s subsidiaries or affiliates).
In the event of the suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.5, the applicable time period during which such registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by that number of days equal to the number of days the effectiveness of such registration statement was suspended.
2.6 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Parent to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to Parent such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
2.7 Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Parent and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (not to exceed $50,000) shall be borne by Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 of this Agreement if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration) unless, in the case of a registration requested under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 of this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 of this Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of Parent from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by Parent of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Sections 2.1, Section 2.2 and 2.3 of this Agreement.
2.8 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
2.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors, managers and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the
12
meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or Free Writing Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, any issuer information (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any other document incident to such registration prepared by or on behalf of Parent or used or referred to by Parent, (ii) the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in such registration statement, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by Parent of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, and Parent will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall Parent be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person or other aforementioned Person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless Parent, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls Parent within the meaning of the Act, legal counsel and accountants for Parent, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net
13
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action or proceeding, shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 to the extent of such prejudice, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that (i) no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.9(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder and (ii) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.9(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.9(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any expenses paid by such Holder). The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in
14
connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f) The obligations of Parent and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2 and otherwise.
2.10 Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of Parent to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, Parent agrees to:
(a) make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Merger;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by Parent that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time beginning ninety (90) days prior to the one year anniversary of the closing of the Merger), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Parent and such other reports and documents so filed by Parent and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
2.11 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause Parent to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (a) is an Affiliate, subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or stockholder of a Holder, (b) is a Holder’s Family Member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or any of such Holder’s Family Members, or (c) after such assignment or transfer, holds at least 5,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization), provided: (i) Parent is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.13 of this Agreement; and (iii) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.
2.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders holding a
15
majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Parent other than a Permitted Registration Rights Agreement that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include any of such securities in any registration filed under Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 of this Agreement, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.
2.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.
(a) Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Parent, during the period commencing on the date of the closing of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) and ending on the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the closing of the Merger (i) lend, 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, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock issued or issuable to such Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Lock-Up Shares”), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder may transfer its Lock-Up Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any member of such Holder’s immediate family or to any trust or other entity controlled or managed, or under common control or management, by such Holder or the immediate family of such Holder, of if such Holder is a trust or other similar entity, to a trustor or beneficiary or similar person of the trust or other entity or to the estate of a beneficiary or similar person of such trust or other entity, (iii) upon death or by will, testamentary document or the laws of intestate succession, (iv) if such Holder is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of such Holder, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with such Holder or affiliates of such Holder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such Holder is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), or (B) as part of a distribution, transfer or disposition without consideration by such Holder to its stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders, (v) to Parent in connection with the “net” or “cashless” exercise or settlement of warrants or stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards (and any transfer to Parent necessary to generate such amount of cash needed for the payment of taxes, including estimated taxes, due as a result of such vesting, settlement or exercise whether by means of a “net settlement” or otherwise), (vi) to Parent in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to equity awards granted under a stock incentive plan or other equity award plan or pursuant to the agreements under which such shares were issued, provided that such repurchase of shares of Common Stock is in connection with the termination of such

Holder’s service provider relationship with Parent, (vii) pursuant to a final qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement or (viii) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by the Board of Directors of Parent and made to all holders of Parent’s capital stock involving a Change of Control of Parent, provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction is not completed, such Holder’s Lock-Up Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vii) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer or distribution that the donee, devisee, transferee or distributee, as the case may be, agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this section (or a substantially similar written agreement), and there shall be no further transfer of such Lock-Up Shares except in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions herein by Parent shall apply to all Holders subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements; provided, however, that such pro rata release shall not be required in the event that (i) a waiver or termination is granted in connection with the registration or public offering of securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) (A) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (B) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer or (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to releases or waivers granted during the lock-up period represent less than or equal to 1% of the total number of outstanding Common Stock (determined as of the date of the Closing Date). Each Holder further agrees that it will not during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date exercise any registration rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; provided however this Section 2.13(c) shall not apply to any termination pursuant to Section 2.13(d) of the restrictions set forth in Section 2.13(a).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time beginning 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Earliest Release Date”), the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 133% of the closing price per share of Common Stock on the Closing Date (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations and any similar transaction) for any 10 trading days within any 20 trading day period (with the calculation including the 20 trading day period immediately prior to the Earliest Release Date), then 25% of each Holder’s Lock-Up Shares (which, for purposes of holders of options, shall only include options that have vested as of such date) will be automatically released from such restrictions as of the last day of such 20 trading day period. The percentage of Lock-Up Shares to be released pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) shall be calculated based on the number of a Holder’s Lock-Up Shares as of the last day of such 20 trading day period.
(e) In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, Parent may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
17
(f) Each Holder agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 2.13):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 2: (a) after five (5) years following the consummation of the Merger, (b) as to any Holder, such earlier time after the offering at which such Holder (i) can sell all shares held by it in compliance with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) or (ii) holds one percent (1%) or less of Parent’s outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any Affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold in any three (3) month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 or (c) after the consummation of a Change of Control.
3. Covenants of Parent.

Each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, that such Investor (a) will keep confidential, (b) will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company or Parent (the “Disclosing Party”) or for any other purpose contemplated by an agreement between the Disclosing Party and such Investor or any Affiliate thereof) and (c) will protect to the same degree as it protects its own confidential information any confidential information obtained from the Disclosing Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any Prior Agreement (including, without limitation, notice of Parent’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (i) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 3.1 by such Investor), (ii) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Investor or any Affiliate thereof without use of the Disclosing Party’s confidential information, or (iii) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Investor or any Affiliate thereof by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that an Investor may disclose confidential information (A) to its and its Affiliates’ attorneys, accountants, consultants and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Disclosing Party (or for any other purpose contemplated by an agreement between the Disclosing Party and such Investor or any Affiliate thereof), provided that such Persons are under a contractual or legal obligation to preserve the confidentiality of such information; (B) to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Investor (or any Affiliate thereof), if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.1; (C) to any existing or prospective Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder or wholly owned subsidiary of such Investor (or any Affiliate thereof) in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Investor informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to
18
maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (D) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Investor promptly notifies the Disclosing Party of such disclosure (to the extent legally permissible) and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.
