EXECUTION VERSION

AMENDMENT NO. 1

This Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 27, 2021 (this “Amendment”), to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 10, 2021 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Better HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Aurora Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Acquiror”), and Aurora Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Aurora (“Merger Sub”, and together with the Company and Acquiror, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 11.11 of the Merger Agreement, the Parties hereto wish to amend the Merger Agreement as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

2. Amendments. The parties acknowledge and agree that:

(i) The definition of “Available Stock Consideration Amount” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Available Stock Consideration Amount” means a number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to (1) the Maximum Implied Stock Consideration, minus (2) the aggregate amount of Acquiror Class B Common Stock that would be issuable upon the net exercise or conversion, as applicable, of all Acquiror Options, Acquiror Common Warrants, Adjusted Restricted Stock Awards and Adjusted Restricted Stock Unit Awards immediately after the First Effective Time, minus (3) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Available Cash Consideration Amount, by (y) $10.00; provided, that any Option or Company Warrant with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration shall not be counted for purposes of determining the Available Stock Consideration Amount.

(ii) Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement (Form of Certificate of Incorporation of Acquiror upon Domestication) is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with Annex A attached to this Amendment.

(iii) Section 3.1(c) (Conversion of Securities—Company Warrants) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Capital Stock, each Company Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (unless exercised prior to Closing or deemed exercised as a result of timely receipt by the Company of an Election with respect to such Company Warrant), shall be exchanged and converted into a right to receive an Acquiror Common Warrant with terms and conditions as nearly equivalent as may be reasonably practicable to those of the existing Company Warrants, and equivalent in value to that which a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock deliverable upon exercise of such Company Warrant would have been entitled in accordance with Section 3.1, if the right to purchase the shares of Company Capital Stock had been exercised by the holder of the Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

(iv) The definition of “Letter of Transmittal” is hereby removed from the Merger Agreement and Section 3.2 (Exchange Procedures) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) Prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall appoint Computershare Inc. or such other exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Aggregate Merger Consideration to the Company’s stockholders. At or before the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with the Exchange Agent (i) a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the Cash Consideration, (ii) the number of shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock equal to the Ordinary Stock Election Consideration, (iii) the number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock equal to the BHC Stock Election Consideration and (iv) the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class C Common Stock equal to the Non-Voting Stock Election Consideration.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock and of Company Warrants as of the Company Record Date (as defined below) (each a “Holder”), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon exchange of their shares of Company Capital Stock and of their Company Warrants for shares of Acquiror Capital Stock in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the exchange agent agreement executed between the Acquiror and the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(c) Each Holder shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article III, to submit an Election in accordance with this clause (c) on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive the Election Deadline unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all Holders, the new election deadline is disclosed by the Company to all Holders on a date agreed to by Acquiror, and Acquiror has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such waiver. “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date which the parties shall agree is as near as practicable to three (3) Business Days preceding the Closing Date. The parties shall cooperate to inform each Holder of the selected date of the Election Deadline not more than fifteen (15) Business Days before, and at least five (5) Business Days prior to, the Election Deadline.

-2-

(d) Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (d)(i) (an “Election”) whether such Holder desires to make a (A) Cash Election, (B) Ordinary Stock Election, (C) solely in the event that such Holder establishes that it is a Bank Holding Company, a BHC Stock Election, or (D) Non-Voting Stock Election, in each case with respect to some or all of the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Holder (or, as applicable, that will be held by such Holder on an as converted basis). If any Holder fails to apply an Election to all of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock, the portion of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such Holder did not attempt to make an Election shall be automatically treated as if such Holder made an Ordinary Stock Election and, if applicable, a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election.

(e) Acquiror shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”) and Acquiror shall mail, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail and deliver, together with the Proxy Statement/Information Statement/Registration Statement, the Form of Election to Holders as of the record date established by the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with Acquiror, for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval by written consent (the “Company Record Date”) not less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election Period”). Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become Holders during the period following the Company Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline.

(f) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, (A) a Form of Election properly completed and signed in accordance with the instructions therein, and (B) the properly completed and executed documents required to be delivered by such Holder pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 3.2. Any Holder who is a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (not including the Excluded Shares) that does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made an Ordinary Stock Election and, if applicable, a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election.

(g) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Any subsequent transfer of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants after such Holder has made an Election shall automatically revoke such Election (and such subsequent transferee may make a new Election pursuant to and if permitted by the terms of clause (c)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

-3-

Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company or Acquiror that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article X. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants (none of the Company, Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any applicable defect). In the event the Exchange Agent makes a reasonable determination that an Election was not properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline), such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and if the Holder is a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (not including the Excluded Shares), then the Holder shall be deemed to have made an Ordinary Stock Election and, if applicable, a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election, with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock covered by the ineffective Election.

(h) Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a Holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the First Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) In the event that the Company or Acquiror changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, shares of capital stock of the Company, shares of capital stock of Acquiror or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, shares of capital stock of the Company or shares of capital stock of Acquiror, as applicable, issued and outstanding prior to the First Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, exchange or readjustment of shares, or other similar transaction (other than the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Domestication, the PIPE Investment and

-4-

any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements), then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the price of Acquiror Common Stock, or the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be, the Stock Consideration, the Cash Consideration, and any other similarly dependent items shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that nothing in this (f) shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

(v) The definitions of “First Acquiror Nominee Director” and “Second Acquiror Nominee Director” are hereby removed from the Merger Agreement and Section 7.6 (Post-Closing Directors and Officers of Acquiror) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) Subject to the terms of Acquiror’s Governing Documents, Acquiror shall take all such action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate such that immediately following the First Effective Time:

(i) the Board of Directors of Acquiror and committees thereof shall be comprised of such individuals as selected by the Company, following consultation with Acquiror; provided that the composition of the Board of Directors of Acquiror complies with all Laws applicable to the Surviving Corporation, including all Nasdaq rules, one (1) member of the Board of Directors shall be an individual set forth on Section 7.6(a)(i) of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter or any other individual selected by Acquiror, as reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Acquiror Nominee Director”), provided further that such Acquiror Nominee Director shall (x) have completed a background check reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (y) be “independent” directors for purposes of Nasdaq rules (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include such rules as are applicable to audit committee members) and otherwise in compliance with the Nasdaq and SEC rules and requirements governing directors.

(ii) the initial officers of Acquiror shall be as set forth on Section 7.6(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, who shall serve in such capacity in accordance with the terms of Acquiror’s Governing Documents following the First Effective Time.

(b) Pursuant to that side letter, dated August 19, 2021, by and between the Company, the Acquiror and the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Director Appointment Side Letter”), following the Closing the Sponsor shall have the right to appoint, through written notice to the Company, either Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or Thor Björgólfsson as a member of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation (the “Sponsor Appointee”), provided, that the Sponsor shall provide the Surviving Corporation with such written notice by February 1, 2022 if the Closing occurs by November 1, 2021, and if the Closing occurs after November 1, 2021, by such date that is at least 90 days following the Closing Date and no more than 120 days following the Closing Date (any such date, the “Notice Date”), and provided, further, that such individual shall (i) have

-5-

completed a background check reasonably satisfactory to Better and the Company, (ii) have submitted by no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Notice Date all information and materials necessary for the Company to receive applicable regulatory approvals relating to the board appointment (it being understood that receipt of any such regulatory approvals must occur prior to the individual’s appointment to the Company’s board of directors), and (iii) be an “independent” director for purposes of Nasdaq rules (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include such rules as are applicable to audit committee members) and otherwise in compliance with the Nasdaq and SEC rules and requirements governing directors. Pursuant to the Sponsor Director Appointment Side Letter, each of the Company, Acquiror and the Sponsor agreed to do all such things necessary or appropriate to effect the foregoing right, including expanding the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation by one seat and appointing the Sponsor Appointee to fill such vacancy.

The following definitions shall be added to the Merger Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order:

“Acquiror Nominee Director” has the meaning specified in Section 7.6(a)(i).

“Notice Date” has the meaning specified in Section 7.6(b). “Sponsor Appointee” has the meaning specified in Section 7.6(b).

“Sponsor Director Appointment Side Letter” has the meaning specified in Section 7.6(b).

3. No Other Amendments to Merger Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the Merger Agreement to “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Merger Agreement as amended hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect.

4. Miscellaneous. The provisions of Sections 11.2 – 11.17 (inclusive) of the Merger Agreement are incorporated into, and shall apply to, this Amendment, mutatis mutandis.

(a) The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, by resolution or resolutions adopted from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one (1) or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation designating a series of Preferred Stock.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Certificate of Designation designating any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, (i) any new series of Preferred Stock may be designated, fixed and determined as provided herein by the Board without approval of the holders of Common Stock or the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, and (ii) any such new series may have powers, preferences and rights, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock shall have the same rights and powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Certificate of Incorporation or as required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), and the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall (i) at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation and (ii) be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by applicable law; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one (1) or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected

A-2

series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one (1) or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder and each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have the right to three (3) votes per share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, shares of Class C Common Stock will not be entitled to vote with respect to any matter and will not entitle the record holder thereof to any voting powers.

(c) Shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the Board out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares), then holders of Class A Common Stock shall receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), holders of Class B Common Stock shall receive shares of Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be) and holders of Class C Common Stock shall receive shares of Class C Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(d) Shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other classes are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that shares of one (1) such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

A-3

(e) Subject to any preferential or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(f) In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock upon the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on stockholders substantially similar to that resulting from a merger or consolidation, such distribution or payment shall be made ratably on a per share basis among the holders of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, that shares of one (1) such class may receive different or disproportionate distributions or payments in connection with such merger, consolidation or other transaction if (i) the only difference in the per share distribution to the holders of the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock is that any securities distributed to such holders have rights and obligations substantially similar to those set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, including that the holder of a share Class B Common Stock have three (3) times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of a share of Class A Common Stock and any securities distributed to the holder of Class C Common Stock have no voting power except as otherwise required by applicable law or consistent with this Certificate of Incorporation, or (ii) such merger, consolidation or other transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Section 4.4. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) In furtherance of the transactions and agreements contemplated by that certain agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 10, 2021, by and between Aurora Acquisition Corp., Aurora Merger Sub I, Inc. and Better Holdco, Inc.

A-4

commencing at least ninety (90) days after Closing Date; and up to (y) fifty percent (50%) of the Merger Shares held by it as of immediately following the Closing Date (in addition to the Merger Shares released pursuant to clause (x)), if the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-trading day period commencing at least ninety (90) days after Closing Date (collectively, the “Lock-Up Period”).

provided, that in each case of sub-clause (A) and (B), no further Transfer by any transferee described therein may occur without compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.4.

With respect to Class B Common Stock, if the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer has occurred, the Corporation may request that the purported transferor furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as it reasonably deems necessary to determine whether a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer has occurred, and if such transferor does not within ten (10) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient (as determined in good faith by the Board) evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such Transfer has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock with deemed effect from the date of such Transfer and such conversion shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation.

This Article XII shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this Article XII is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Article XII (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

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.

ARTICLE XIII

If any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including without limitation, all portions of any section of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XIV

Section 14.1. Amendment - General. The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), and subject to Sections 4.1 and 4.2(a) of Article IV, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal or adopt, whether by merger or otherwise, any provision inconsistent with Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.2 and, after the Final Class B Conversion Date, 4.3 of Article IV, Article V (other than Section 5.2 of Article V), Article VI, Article X, Article XI, Article XII, Article XIII, Article XIV, or this Section 14.1 of this Article XIV (the “Specified Provisions”); provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such amendment or repeal of, or any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt, whether by merger or otherwise, any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions.

Section 14.2. Amendment - Class B Vote. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), at any time prior to the Final Class B Conversion Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock representing at least eighty- five percent (85%) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal or

adopt, whether by merger or otherwise, any provision inconsistent with, Section 4.3 of Article IV (insofar as such amendment or provision would affect the voting power of the shares of Class B Common Stock) and Section 5.2 of Article V.
