ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT

CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock of the Company.

(a) Effect on Common Stock; Cancellation of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any holder of any shares of Common Stock or capital stock of Merger Sub:

(i) Effect on Common Stock.

(A) Each share of Class A Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (but excluding any Dissenting Shares) shall remain unaffected by the Merger and shall not be converted or exchanged in any manner, and, as of the Effective Time, shall continue to be an issued and outstanding share of Class A Common Stock.

(B) Each share of Class B Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (but excluding any Dissenting Shares) shall remain unaffected by the Merger and shall not be converted or exchanged in any manner, and, as of the Effective Time, shall continue to be an issued and outstanding share of Class B Common Stock.

(C) Each share of Class C Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (but excluding any Dissenting Shares) shall remain unaffected by the Merger and shall not be converted or exchanged in any manner, and, as of the Effective Time, shall continue to be an issued and outstanding share of Class C Common Stock.

(D) Each share of Class V Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the following: (i) in the case of a share of Class V Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive shares of Class C Common Stock (such election, a “Share Election”) has been properly made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.04 (each, a “Share Electing Share”), 1.3665 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class C Common Stock (the “Share Consideration”) and (ii) in the case of a share of Class V Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been properly made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.04 (each, a “Cash Electing Share”), $109.00 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), in each case subject to Section 2.01(b). Any share of Class V Common Stock with respect to which neither a Share Election nor a Cash Election has been properly made and any share of Class V Common Stock with respect to which a Share Election or a Cash Election has been revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.04 and not subsequently made shall be deemed to be a Share Electing Share. From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Class V Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Class V Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.02, including the right to receive any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c). The Share Consideration and Cash Consideration to be received by the holders of Class V Common Stock pursuant to this ARTICLE II, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.02(e), shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”.

(ii) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Proration. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the aggregate amount of Cash Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Class V Common Stock in the Merger shall not exceed $9,000,000,000 (the “Aggregate Cash Consideration”). As used herein, the term “Cash Election Amount” shall mean the product of the aggregate number of Cash Electing Shares multiplied by the Cash Consideration. If the Cash Election Amount exceeds the Aggregate Cash Consideration, then, instead of being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, a portion of each holder’s Cash Electing Shares equal to the Cash Fraction (defined below) shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the remaining portion of each holder’s Cash Electing Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Share Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Cash Fraction” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the Aggregate Cash Consideration and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Amount.

(c) Cancellation of Treasury Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any holder of any shares of Common Stock or capital stock of Merger Sub, each share of Class V Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. All other treasury shares of the Company shall remain unchanged.

(d) Dissenting Shares.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time who have not voted such shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and have properly demanded such rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by, and shall be entitled only to receive such payments for such Dissenting Shares in accordance with, Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such stockholder of the Company shall fail to perfect or shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such stockholder’s rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise determine that such stockholder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such stockholder’s shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock shall thereupon cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall thereafter be outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence.

(ii) In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of the shares of Class V Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates; Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Exchange Agent. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, the Company shall designate a bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of receiving Elections, in accordance with Section 2.04, and exchanging, in accordance with this ARTICLE II, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the applicable Merger Consideration. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares, book-entry shares representing shares of Class C Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares sufficient to deliver the aggregate Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01 and cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration, and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions on shares of Class C Common Stock under Section 2.02(c). All shares of Class C Common Stock together with any cash amounts deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) shall hereinafter be referred to

as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall deliver the shares of Class C Common Stock, cash, dividends and distributions contemplated to be issued and delivered pursuant to Section 2.01, Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(e) out of the Exchange Fund. Except to the extent set forth in this Section 2.02, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by the Company; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares entitled to receive such amounts pursuant to this ARTICLE II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation on the earlier of (A) six (6) months after the Effective Time or (B) the full payment of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock (a “Certificate”) whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c) (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in customary form and contain customary provisions) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c). Each holder of record of one or more Certificates shall, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Certificates, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) Merger Consideration pursuant to this ARTICLE II (which, in the case of any applicable Share Consideration, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record) and (ii) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of a book-entry share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock (a “Book-Entry Share”) shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this ARTICLE II. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Class V Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c) shall upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in

customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, (i) Merger Consideration pursuant to this ARTICLE II (which, in the case of any applicable Share Consideration, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record) and (ii) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c).

(iii) In the event any portion of the applicable Merger Consideration is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the payment of such Merger Consideration that such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(b), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c). No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any payment to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE II.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Class C Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Class C Common Stock that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Class C Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(e), in each case until the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have surrendered such Certificate or Book-Entry Share along with a duly executed letter of transmittal (or upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” as contemplated in Section 2.02(b)(ii)) in accordance with this ARTICLE II. Following the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share along with a duly executed letter of transmittal (or upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” as contemplated in Section 2.02(b)(ii)), there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Class C Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender or receipt, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Class C Common Stock and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Class C Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(e) and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender or receipt and a payment date subsequent to such surrender or receipt payable with respect to such whole shares of Class C Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Class V Common Stock. The Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c) issued (and paid) upon the surrender of Certificates (or immediately in the case of Book-Entry Shares), in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE II shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Class V Common Stock formerly

represented by such Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligations to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by the Company on the shares of Class V Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time that remain unpaid at the Effective Time. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the share transfer books of the Company with respect to shares of Class V Common Stock shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Class V Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share is presented to the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, for transfer, it shall be cancelled against delivery thereof and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II.

(e) No Fractional Shares.

(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares or book-entry credit of Class C Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or upon the conversion of Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this ARTICLE II, no dividends or other distributions of the Surviving Corporation shall relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) All fractional shares of Class C Common Stock which a holder of Class V Common Stock would be otherwise entitled to receive (after taking into account all shares of Company Class V Common Stock exchanged by such holder) as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to five decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of Class V Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional shares shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, representing such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale of shares of Class C Common Stock representing all such fractional shares (the “Excess Shares”) by the Exchange Agent on behalf of all such holders in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.02(e)(iii). The amount of cash which each holder of shares of Class V Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares of Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to receive shall be an amount equal to (a) the net proceeds of such sale(s) of Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of fractional interests to which such holder of shares of Class V Common Stock would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Excess Shares. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Class V Common Stock in lieu of any fractional share interests in Class C Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts, without interest, to the holders of Class V Common Stock entitled to receive such cash following the procedures in Section 2.02(b).

(iii) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of the Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer Taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales.

(f) Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Class V Common Stock for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holders of Class V Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for, and, subject to Section 2.02(g), the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c) in accordance with this ARTICLE II.

(g) No Liability. None of the Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Class C Common Stock, cash, dividends or other distributions from the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered or any Book-Entry Share is not converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration prior to four (4) years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration (and any dividends or other distributions payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such shares of Class C Common Stock, cash, dividends or other distributions payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.02(c) in respect of such Certificate of Book-Entry Share 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.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c), in each case pursuant to this ARTICLE II.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(j) Certain Adjustments. If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, there is a change in the number of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable therefor issued and outstanding as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Exchange Ratio, Merger Consideration and related provisions shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of the shares of Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated prior to such reclassification, stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction.

(k) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that (A)(i) the exchange of shares of Class V Common Stock for Share Consideration pursuant to the Merger is treated as a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code, and (ii) this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g), (B) the exchange of shares of Class V Common Stock for Cash Consideration pursuant to the Merger is treated as a redemption, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of which is determined under Section 302 of the Code, and (C) there are no U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock as a result of the Merger. If applicable, for all purposes of this Section 2.02 and for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.358-2(a)(2)(ii), a holder of shares of Class V Common Stock will be treated as having surrendered, in exchange for the aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid to such holder pursuant to Section 2.01, a number of shares of Class V Common Stock evidenced by Certificates (which are specifically identified by such stockholder in the letter of transmittal to be the Certificates exchanged for such stockholder’s aggregate Cash Consideration) equal to the total number of Cash Electing Shares that are held by such stockholder and converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Treatment of Class V Equity Awards. Except as otherwise agreed between the Company and any Class V Awardholder, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and, in any event, prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if necessary or appropriate, any committee administering any applicable Company Stock Plan) will adopt resolutions, and the Company shall take or cause to be taken any and all actions reasonably necessary, including, without limitation, obtaining consents from each the Class V Awardholder, to cause the following:

(a) Class V Stock Options. Each Class V Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall, by virtue of the Closing and without any action on the part of any holder of any Class V Stock Option, cease to represent a right to purchase shares of Class V Common Stock and be converted immediately prior to the Effective Time into an option, on the same terms and conditions applicable to each such Class V Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, to purchase the number of shares of Class C Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, that is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class V Common Stock subject to such Class V Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per a share of Class C Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole ▇▇▇▇▇) equal to (A) the exercise price for each such share of Class V Common Stock subject to such Class V Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the adjustments provided in this Section 2.03(a) with respect to any Class V Stock Options are intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Class V DSU Awards. Each Class V DSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested), shall, by virtue of the Closing and without any action on the part of any holder of any Class V DSU Award, be converted into an award, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements and deferral provisions) applicable to each such Class V DSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to the number of shares of Class C Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares of Class V Common Stock that were subject to the Class V DSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Class V DSU Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code immediately prior to the Effective Time, the award into which it is converted in accordance with this Section 2.03(b) is intended to continue to be subject to and comply with Section 409A of the Code following the Effective Time.

(c) Dividend Equivalents in Class V Common Stock. Where holders of Class V DSU Awards are entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents in respect of such awards, which dividends or dividend equivalents are denominated in or by reference to Class V Common Stock, then, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, all such dividends or dividend equivalents shall be converted into a number of dividends or dividend equivalents in shares of Class C Common Stock representing the number of shares of Class V Common Stock subject to such dividends or dividend equivalents multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.

(d) Following the Effective Time, no holder of any Class V Equity Award (or former holder of a Class V Equity Award or any current or former participant in any Company Stock Plan pursuant to which any Class V Equity Award was granted) will have any right thereunder to acquire any Class V Common Stock.

(e) At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Company relating to Class V Equity Awards outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including under the applicable Company Stock Plans and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the holders of the Class V Equity Awards appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective applicable Company Stock Plans, and the agreements evidencing the grants of such Class V Equity Awards shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions, subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.03 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.04 Election Procedures. Each holder of record of shares of Class V Common Stock (each, an “Eligible Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE II, to submit an election on or prior to the Election Deadline in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.

(a) Each Eligible Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04 (an “Election”) (i) the number of shares of Class V Common Stock owned by such Eligible Holder with respect to which such Eligible Holder desires to make a Share Election and (ii) the number of shares of Class V Common Stock owned by such Eligible Holder with respect to which such Eligible Holder desires to make a Cash Election.

(b) The Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause a form designed for purposes of permitting Eligible Holders to make an Election (such form as may be determined in the reasonable discretion of the Company, the “Form of Election”) to be disseminated or made available as follows:

(i) at the same time the Proxy Statement is disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, the Form of Election shall be disseminated to persons who, as of the record date for the Stockholders Meeting, are Eligible Holders; and

(ii) with respect to all persons who become holders of record of shares of Class V Common Stock between the record date for the Stockholders Meeting and the Election Deadline, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election, as applicable, available to such Eligible Holders during such period.

(c) Any Election shall have been made properly by an Eligible Holder only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by (i) the Certificates, if any, to which such Form of Election relates, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of the Company, and (ii) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, any additional documents specified in the procedures set forth in the Form of Election.

(d) Any Eligible Holder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change or revoke such Eligible Holder’s Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of such Eligible Holder’s Certificates, or any documents in respect of Book-Entry Shares, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. After an Election is validly made with respect to any shares of Class V Common Stock, any subsequent transfer of such shares of Class V Common Stock shall automatically revoke such Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with ARTICLE VI without the Closing having occurred. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Class V Common Stock (none of the Company, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Company stockholder of any such defect). In the event the Exchange Agent makes such a determination, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Class V Common Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Share Electing Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made with respect to such shares.

(e) The Company, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the DGCL governing the manner and extent to which Elections are to be taken into account in making the determinations prescribed by Section 2.01(b).

Section 4.02 Preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement; Stockholders Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, a proxy statement (together with the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting, form of proxy, and any other document incorporated by reference therein, each as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”) to be sent to the stockholders of the Company relatingto the Stockholders Meeting and (ii) the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Form S-4”), in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of Class C Common Stock to be issued in the Merger. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing of the Form S-4 and, prior to the effective date of the Form S-4, the Company shall take all action reasonably required (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction) to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the Merger and the issuance of Class C Common Stock. As promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 shall have become effective, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed between the Company and the Special Committee, (i) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Form S-4 shall not be declared effective and (ii) the Company shall not mail, or permit to be mailed, the Proxy Statement to its stockholders, in each case, prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after issuance of the Company’s press release and related Form 8-K with respect to earnings for the fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2018.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 (or, in each case, responses to any written comments of the SEC with respect thereto) will be made without providing the Special Committee a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and the Company will consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by the Special Committee and shall not file or mail any such document or respond to any written comments of the SEC prior to receiving the approval of the Special Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting any information relating to the Company, or any of its Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or

omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Company shall promptly notify the Special Committee and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall notify the Special Committee promptly of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective, of the issuance of any stop order or suspension of the qualification of the Class C Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 or for additional information and shall supply the Special Committee with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement, the Form S-4 or the Merger.

(c) The Company shall establish a record date for, and shall duly call, give notice of, and convene the Stockholders Meeting on a date, as soon as reasonably practicable following the effectiveness of the Form S-4 solely for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approvals and shall, subject to the ability of the Board of Directors and/or the Special Committee to make a Change of Recommendation, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the adoption of this Agreement by such stockholders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable following the effectiveness of the Form S-4. Once established, the Company shall not change the record date for the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of the Special Committee or as required by applicable Law. The Company may (and at the request of the Special Committee shall) postpone or adjourn the Stockholders Meeting from time to time, if necessary (i) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Board of Directors and/or the Special Committee has determined in good faith is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Stockholders Meeting, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time (but not more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate) to solicit additional proxies if necessary in order to obtain the Stockholder Approvals or (iii) if required by applicable Law.

(d) The Board of Directors of the Company shall make the Company Recommendation and the Special Committee shall make the Class V Recommendation, and the Company shall include the Company Recommendation and the Class V Recommendation (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be a recommendation only to the holders of Class V Common Stock) in the Proxy Statement unless the Board of Directors of the Company (with respect to the Company Recommendation) or the Special Committee (with respect to the Class V Recommendation) has withdrawn, modified or qualified in any manner adverse to the Company either or both of such recommendations (a “Change of Recommendation”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Board of Directors of the Company (with respect to the Company Recommendation) and the Special Committee (with respect to the Class V Recommendation) shall be permitted to effect a Change of Recommendation to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company or the Special Committee, as applicable, determines, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that the failure to make such a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary responsibilities under applicable Law.

Section 4.03 Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Action.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and in any event on or prior to the Outside Date, including preparing and filing or delivering as promptly as practicable and advisable (with each party considering in good faith any views or input provided by the other party with respect to the timing thereof) all necessary or advisable filings, information updates, responses to requests for additional information and other presentations required by or in connection with seeking any regulatory approval, exemption, change of ownership approval, or other authorization from, any Governmental Entity, or to obtain, as promptly as practicable, all consents, approvals, clearances, authorizations, termination or expiration of waiting periods, non-actions, waiver, Permits or orders, of or by any Governmental Entity, in each case that are necessary or advisable in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Class C Common Stock to be approved for listing upon the Effective Time on the NYSE, subject only to official notice of issuance.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to seek to obtain all material consents, approvals and waivers of any third party under any contract required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Section 16 Matters.

Section 4.07 Vail Dividend. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, except as required by applicable Law, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the payment of the Special Dividend by Vail or the subsequent payment of the Pro Rata Special Dividend Amount by the applicable Company Subsidiaries, or otherwise to cause the representations set forth in Section 3.01(f) to not be true and correct in all material respects. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Special Dividend Payment Condition to be satisfied, the Special Dividend to be paid by Vail as contemplated by this Agreement, and the subsequent payment of the Pro Rata Special Dividend Amount by the applicable Company Subsidiaries to the Company. The Company shall keep the Special Committee reasonably informed as to the development of the Company Distribution Plan and shall furnish the Special Committee a reasonably detailed summary of the final Company Distribution Plan prior to the Closing Date.

The Company shall keep the Special Committee or its advisors reasonably informed on a continuing basis with respect to the status thereof, including by facilitating meetings between counsel of the Company and counsel of the Special Committee and promptly and diligently responding to reasonable inquiries with respect to any Transaction Litigation made by the Special Committee or its counsel.

From and after the time of effectiveness of this Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not issue any shares of Class V Common Stock.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Restrictions on Corporate Actions.

(1) From the Effective Date through the two-year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries will not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of common stock of VMware if such acquisition would cause the common stock of VMware to no longer be publicly traded on a U.S. securities exchange or VMware to no longer be required to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in each case unless such acquisition of VMware common stock is required in order for VMware to continue to be a member of the affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated tax return with the Corporation for purposes of Section 1502 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

(2) For so long as any shares of Class V Common Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not authorize or issue any class or series of common stock (other than (i) Class V Common Stock or (ii) common stock of the Corporation with an Inter-Group Interest in the Class V Group) intended to reflect an economic interest of the Corporation in assets comprising the Class V Group, including common stock of VMware.

(e) Dividends. Subject to the provisions of any Preferred Stock Series Resolution:

(1) Dividends on Class V Common Stock.

(A) Dividends on the Class V Common Stock may be declared and paid only out of the lesser of (i) the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and (ii) the Class V Group Available Dividend Amount.

(B) If the Number of Retained Interest Shares is greater than zero on the record date for any dividend on the Class V Common Stock, then concurrently with the payment of any dividend on the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock:

(I) if such dividend consists of cash, Publicly Traded securities (other than shares of Class V Common Stock) or other assets, the Corporation will attribute to the DHI Group (a “Retained Interest Dividend”) an aggregate amount of cash, securities or other assets, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Board of Directors (the “Retained Interest Dividend Amount”), with a Fair Value equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the Number of Retained Interest Shares as of the record date for such dividend, by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Value of such dividend payable to the holders of outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding as of such record date; or

(II) if such dividend consists of shares of Class V Common Stock (including dividends of Convertible Securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class V Common Stock), the Number of Retained Interest Shares will be increased by a number equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the Number of Retained Interest Shares as of the record date for such dividend, by (y) the number of shares (including any fraction of a share) of Class V Common Stock issuable to a holder for each outstanding share of Class V Common Stock in such dividend.

In the case of a dividend paid pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(3)(D), in connection with a Class V Group Disposition, the Retained Interest Dividend Amount may be increased, at the election of the Board of Directors, by the aggregate amount of the dividend that would have been payable with respect to the shares of Class V Common Stock converted into Class C Common Stock in connection with such Class V Group Disposition if such shares were not so converted and received the same dividend per share as the other shares of Class V Common Stock received in connection with such Class V Group Disposition.

A Retained Interest Dividend may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation or by a direct transfer of cash, securities or other assets, or a combination thereof, and may be payable in kind or otherwise.

(2) Dividends on DHI Common Stock.

(A) Dividends on the DHI Common Stock may be declared and paid only out of the lesser of (i) the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and (ii) the DHI Group Available Dividend Amount.

(B) Subject to the provisions of any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, if any, outstanding at any time, the holders of Class A Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class C Common Stock and the holders of Class D Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in such dividends and other distributions of cash, property or shares of stock of the Corporation as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time with respect to the DHI Common Stock out of the assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event that any such dividend is paid in the form of shares of DHI Common Stock or Convertible Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of DHI Common Stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall receive Class A Common Stock or Convertible Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock, as the case may be, the holders of Class B Common Stock shall receive Class B Common Stock or Convertible Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, the holders of Class C Common Stock shall receive Class C Common Stock or Convertible Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class C Common Stock, as the case may be, and the holders of Class D Common Stock shall receive Class D Common Stock or Convertible Securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class D Common Stock, as the case may be.

(C) Dividends of Class V Common Stock (or dividends of Convertible Securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class V Common Stock) may be declared and paid on the DHI Common Stock if the Number of Retained Interest Shares is greater than zero on the record date for any such dividend, but only if the sum of:

(I) the number of shares of Class V Common Stock to be so issued (or the number of such shares that would be issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities to be so issued); and

(II) the number of shares of Class V Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities then outstanding that are attributed as a liability to, or an equity interest in, the DHI Group is less than or equal to the Number of Retained Interest Shares.

(3) Discrimination between DHI Common Stock and Class V Common Stock. The Board of Directors shall have the authority and discretion to declare and pay (or to refrain from declaring and paying) dividends on outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock and dividends on outstanding shares of DHI Common Stock, in equal or unequal amounts, or only on the DHI Common Stock or the Class V Common Stock, irrespective of the amounts (if any) of prior dividends declared on, or the respective liquidation rights of, the DHI Common Stock or the Class V Common Stock, or any other factor.

(f) Liquidation and Dissolution.

(1) General. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and payment or provision for payment of any preferential amount due to the holders of any other class or series of stock as to payments upon dissolution of the Corporation (regardless of the Group to which such shares are attributed), the holders of shares of DHI Common Stock and the holders of shares of Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to receive their proportionate interests in the assets of the Corporation remaining for distribution to holders of stock (regardless of the class or series of stock to which such assets are then attributed) in proportion to the respective number of liquidation units per share of DHI Common Stock and Class V Common Stock.

Neither (i) the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or Persons, (ii) a transaction or series of related transactions that results in the transfer of more than 50% of the voting power of the Corporation nor (iii) the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall itself be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 5.2(f).

(2) Liquidation Units. The liquidation units per share of Class V Common Stock in relation to the DHI Common Stock shall be as follows:

(A) each share of DHI Common Stock shall have one liquidation unit; and

(B) each share of Class V Common Stock shall have a number of liquidation units (including a fraction of one liquidation unit) equal to the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the Average Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock over the 10-Trading Day period commencing on (and including) the first Trading Day on which the Class V Common Stock trades in the “regular way” market, by (y) the Average Market Value of a share of Class C Common Stock over the same 10-Trading Day period (unless such shares of Class C Common Stock are not Publicly Traded, in which case the Fair Value of a share of Class C Common Stock, determined as of the fifth Trading Day of such period, shall be used for purposes of (y));

provided, that if, after the Effective Date, the Corporation, at any time or from time to time, subdivides (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or combines (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, or declares and pays a dividend or distribution in shares of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock to holders of Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, the per share liquidation units of the Class C Common Stock or Class V Common Stock, as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted as determined by the Board of Directors, so as to avoid any dilution or increase in the aggregate, relative liquidation rights of the shares of Class C Common Stock and Class V Common Stock.

Whenever an adjustment is made to liquidation units under this Section 5.2(f), the Corporation will promptly thereafter prepare and file a statement of such adjustment with the Secretary of the Corporation. Neither the failure to prepare nor the failure to file any such statement will affect the validity of such adjustment.

(g) Subdivision or Combinations. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of any series of DHI Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other series of DHI Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same manner.

(h) Voting Rights.

(1) Voting Generally. Subject to Article VI, (i) each holder of record of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes per share of Class A Common Stock which is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation and which is entitled to vote; (ii) each holder of record of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes per share of Class B Common Stock which is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation and which is entitled to vote; (iii) each holder of record of Class C Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share of Class C Common Stock which is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation and which is entitled to vote; (iv) each holder of record of Class D Common Stock shall not be entitled to any vote on any matter except to the extent required by provisions of Delaware law (in which case such holder shall be entitled to one vote per share of Class D Common Stock which is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation and which is entitled to vote); and (v) each holder of record of Class V Common Stock

shall be entitled to one vote per share of Class V Common Stock which is outstanding in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation and which is entitled to vote. Except (A) as may otherwise be provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, or (B) as may otherwise be required by the laws of the State of Delaware, the holders of shares of all classes of Common Stock will vote as one class with respect to the election of Group I Directors and with respect to all other matters to be voted on by stockholders of the Corporation; provided, that the holders of Class A Common Stock (and no other classes of Common Stock) will vote with respect to the election of Group II Directors and the holders of Class B Common Stock (and no other classes of Common Stock) will vote as one class with respect to the election of Group III Directors.

(2) Special Voting Rights.

(A) If the Corporation proposes to (i) amend this Certificate of Incorporation (A) in any manner that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of Class V Common Stock so as to affect them adversely or (B) to make any amendment, change or alteration to the restrictions on corporate actions described in Section 5.2(d), in each case whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, or (ii) effect any merger or business combination as a result of which (A) the holders of all classes and series of Common Stock shall no longer own at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving corporation or of the direct or indirect parent corporation of such surviving corporation and (B) the holders of Class V Common Stock do not receive consideration of the same type as the other classes or series of Common Stock and, in aggregate, equal to or greater in value than the proportion of the average of the aggregate Fair Value of the outstanding Class V Common Stock over the 30-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the date of the first public announcement of such merger or business combination to the aggregate Fair Value of the other outstanding classes or series of Common Stock over the same 30-Trading Day period (unless such securities are not Publicly Traded, in which case the aggregate Fair Value of such securities shall be determined as of the fifth Trading Day of such period), then in each case, such action will be subject to receipt by the Corporation of, and will not be undertaken unless the Corporation has received, the affirmative vote of the holders of record (other than shares held by the Corporation’s Affiliates), as of the record date for the meeting at which such vote is taken, of Class V Common Stock representing a majority of the aggregate voting power (other than shares held by the Corporation’s Affiliates) of Class V Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a separate class. Any vote taken pursuant to this Section 5.2(h)(2)(A) will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any vote of the stockholders of the Corporation required by law to be taken with respect to the applicable action.

(B) For so long as any shares of Class V Common Stock remain outstanding, Section 4.02 of the Bylaws shall not be amended or repealed (A) by the stockholders of the Corporation unless such action has received the affirmative vote of the holders of record (other than shares held by the Corporation’s Affiliates), as of the record date for the meeting at which such vote is taken, of (i) Class V Common Stock representing a majority of the aggregate voting power (other than shares held by the Corporation’s Affiliates) of Class V Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a separate class, and (ii) Common Stock representing a majority of the aggregate voting power of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at such meeting and entitled to vote thereon or (B) by any action of the Board of Directors.

(C) Except as expressly provided herein, no class or series of Common Stock shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any matter except to the extent required by provisions of Delaware law. Irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the holders of shares of DHI Common Stock and the holders of shares of Class V Common Stock will vote as one class with respect to any proposed amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation that (i) would increase (x) the number of authorized shares of common stock or any class or series thereof, (y) the number of authorized shares of preferred stock or any series thereof or (z) the number of authorized shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter established, or (ii) decrease (x) the number of authorized shares of common stock or any class or series thereof, (y) the number of authorized shares of preferred stock or any series thereof or (z) the number of authorized shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter established (but, in each case, not below the number of shares of such class or series of capital stock then outstanding), and no separate class or series vote of the holders of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation will be required for the approval of any such matter; provided, that this Section 5.2(h)(2)(C) shall only apply to a proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Class V Common Stock when such increase has received the approval of the Capital Stock Committee of the Board of Directors in such circumstances and as provided in the Bylaws.

(i) Equal Status. Except as expressly provided in this Article V and in Article VI, Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock shall have the same rights and

privileges and rank equally, share ratably on a per share basis and be identical in all respects as to all matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) in the event of a merger, consolidation or other business combination requiring the approval of the holders of the Corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote thereon (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), each holder of DHI Common Stock shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, the same amount and form of consideration, if any, on a per share basis, as each other holder of DHI Common Stock, and (ii) in the event of (x) any tender or exchange offer to acquire any shares of DHI Common Stock by any third party pursuant to an agreement to which the Corporation is a party or (y) any tender or exchange offer by the Corporation to acquire any shares of DHI Common Stock, pursuant to the terms of the applicable tender or exchange offer, the holders of DHI Common Stock shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, the same amount or form of consideration on a per share basis as each other holder of DHI Common Stock; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the holders of Class C Common Stock and the holders of Class D Common Stock may receive non-voting securities or capital stock, or securities or capital stock with differing voting rights or preferences than the holders of Class A Common Stock and/or the holders of Class B Common Stock in connection with a merger, consolidation, other business combination, or tender or exchange offer involving the Corporation.

(j) Senior, Parity or Junior Stock.

(1) Whenever reference is made in this Article V to shares “ranking senior to” another class or series of stock or “on a parity with” another class or series of stock, such reference shall mean and include all other shares of the Corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as to the payment of dividends or as to distributions in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation are given preference over, or rank equally with, as the case may be, the rights of the holders of such other class or series of stock. Whenever reference is made to shares “ranking junior to” another class or series of stock, such reference shall mean and include all shares of the Corporation in respect of which the rights of the holders thereof as to the payment of dividends and as to distributions in the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation are junior and subordinate to the rights of the holders of such class or series of stock.

(2) Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, each series of Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with each other series of Preferred Stock and each series of Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock, the Class C Common Stock, the Class D Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock shall rank on a parity with each other, and, except as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, each of the Class A Common Stock, the Class B Common Stock, the Class C Common Stock, the Class D Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock shall rank junior to the Preferred Stock.

(k) Reservation and Retirement of Shares.

(1) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or out of shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, the full number of shares of Common Stock into which all shares of any series of Preferred Stock having conversion privileges from time to time outstanding are convertible.

(2) Unless otherwise provided in a Preferred Stock Series Resolution with respect to a particular series of Preferred Stock, all shares of Preferred Stock redeemed or acquired (as a result of conversion or otherwise) shall be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.

(l) No Preemptive Rights.

Subject to the provisions of any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, no holder of shares of stock of the Corporation shall have any preemptive or other rights, except as such rights are expressly provided by contract, to purchase or subscribe for or receive any shares of any class, or series thereof, of stock of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, or any warrants, options, bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying any right to purchase any shares of any class, or series thereof, of stock; but, subject to

the provisions of any Preferred Stock Series Resolution, such additional shares of stock and such warrants, options, bonds, debentures or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or carrying any right to purchase any shares of any class, or series thereof, of stock may be issued or disposed of by the Board of Directors to such Persons, and on such terms and for such lawful consideration, as in its discretion it shall deem advisable or as to which the Corporation shall have by binding contract agreed.

(m) Other Provisions Relating to the Exchange of Class V Common Stock.

(1) Redemption for VMware Stock. At any time that shares of common stock of VMware comprise all of the assets of the Class V Group, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to assets of the Corporation being legally available therefor, redeem all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock for shares of common stock of VMware (the “Distributed VMware Shares”), as provided herein. Each outstanding share of Class V Common Stock shall be redeemed for a number of Distributed VMware Shares equal to the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by multiplying the Outstanding Interest Fraction by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock of VMware attributed to the Class V Group on the Class V Group VMware Redemption Selection Date and the denominator of which is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock on the same date. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.2(m)(1) shall occur on the date set forth in the public notice made pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(4)(B) (the “Class V Group VMware Redemption Date”). The Corporation shall not redeem shares of Class V Common Stock for Distributed VMware Shares pursuant to this Section 5.2(m)(1) without redeeming all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock for Distributed VMware Shares in accordance with this Section 5.2(m)(1).

(2) Redemption for Securities of Class V Group Subsidiary. At any time at which a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Class V Group Subsidiary”) holds, directly or indirectly, all of the assets and liabilities attributed to the Class V Group and such assets and liabilities are not solely comprised of shares of common stock of VMware, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to assets of the Corporation being legally available therefor, redeem all of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock for shares of common stock of such Class V Group Subsidiary, as provided herein; provided, that the common stock received is the only outstanding equity security of such Class V Group Subsidiary, and provided, further, that such common stock, upon issuance in such redemption, will have been registered under all applicable U.S. securities laws and will be listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange. The number of shares of common stock of the Class V Group Subsidiary to be delivered in redemption of each outstanding share of Class V Common Stock will be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (x) the product of (I) the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Class V Group Subsidiary and (II) the Outstanding Interest Fraction, by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, in each case, as of the Class V Group Redemption Selection Date. The Corporation shall not redeem shares of Class V Common Stock for shares of common stock of the Class V Group Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 5.2(m)(2) without redeeming all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5.2(m)(2).

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.2(m)(2) will occur on a Class V Group Redemption Date set forth in a notice to holders of Class V Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(4)(B).

If the Board of Directors determines to effect a redemption of the Class V Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5.2(m)(2), shares of Class V Common Stock shall be redeemed in exchange for a common stock of the Class V Group Subsidiary, as determined by the Board of Directors, on an equal per share basis.

(3) Dividend, Redemption or Conversion in Case of Class V Group Disposition. In the event of a Class V Group Disposition (other than in one or a series of Excluded Transactions), the Corporation will, on or prior to the 120th Trading Day following the consummation of such Class V Group Disposition and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 5.2, take the actions referred to in one of Section 5.2(m)(3)(A), (B), (C) or (D) below, as elected by the Board of Directors:

(A) Subject to Section 5.2(e)(1), the Corporation may declare and pay a dividend payable in cash, Publicly Traded securities (other than securities of the Corporation) or other assets, or any combination thereof, to the holders of outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Class V Group Disposition (regardless of the form or

nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the Class V Group Disposition) as of the record date for determining the holders entitled to receive such dividend, as the same may be determined by the Board of Directors, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 5.2(e).

(B) Provided that there are assets of the Corporation legally available therefor and the Class V Group Available Dividend Amount would have been sufficient to pay a dividend pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(3)(A) in lieu of effecting the redemption provided for in this Section 5.2(m)(3)(B), the Corporation may apply an aggregate amount of cash or Publicly Traded securities (other than securities of the Corporation) or any combination thereof with a Fair Value equal to the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Class V Group Disposition (regardless of the form or nature of the proceeds received by the Corporation from the Class V Group Disposition) as of the Class V Group Redemption Selection Date (the “Class V Group Redemption Amount”) to the redemption of outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock for an amount per share equal to the Average Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the public announcement of the Class V Group Net Proceeds as set forth in Section 5.2(m)(4)(C); provided, that if such Class V Group Disposition involves all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Class V Group, a redemption pursuant to this Section 5.2(m)(3)(B) shall be a redemption of all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock in exchange for an aggregate amount of cash or Publicly Traded securities (other than securities of the Corporation) or any combination thereof, with a Fair Value equal to the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Class V Group Disposition, on an equal per share basis.

(C) Provided that the Class C Common Stock is then Publicly Traded, the Corporation may convert the number of outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock obtained by dividing the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds by the Average Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the public announcement of the Class V Group Net Proceeds as set forth in Section 5.2(m)(4)(C) into an aggregate number (or fraction) of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class C Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class V Common Stock to be converted, multiplied by the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (I) the Average Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock over the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the 2nd Trading Day following the public announcement of the Class V Group Net Proceeds as set forth in Section 5.2(m)(4)(C) by (II) the Average Market Value of one share of Class C Common Stock over the same 10-Trading Day period.

(D) Provided that the Class C Common Stock is then Publicly Traded, the Corporation may combine the conversion of a portion of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock into Class C Common Stock as contemplated by Section 5.2(m)(3)(C) with the payment of a dividend on, or the redemption of, shares of Class V Common Stock, as described below, subject to the limitations specified in Section 5.2(m)(3)(A) (in the case of a dividend) or Section 5.2(m)(3)(B) (in the case of a redemption) (including the limitations specified in other paragraphs of this Certificate of Incorporation referred to therein).

In the event the Board of Directors elects the option described in this Section 5.2(m)(3)(D), the portion of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock to be converted into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class C Common Stock shall be determined by the Board of Directors and shall be so converted at the conversion rate determined in accordance with Section 5.2(m)(3)(C) and the Corporation shall (x) pay a dividend to the holders of record of all of the remaining shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding, with such dividend to be paid in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 5.2(e), or (y) redeem all or a portion of such remaining shares of Class V Common Stock. The aggregate amount of such dividend or the portion of the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption, as applicable, shall be equal to the amount (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying (I) an amount equal to the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds of such Class V Group Disposition as of, in the case of a dividend, the record date for determining the holders of Class V Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend and, in the case of a redemption, the Class V Group Redemption Selection Date, in each case before giving effect to the conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock in connection with such Class V Group Disposition in accordance with this

Section 5.2(m)(3)(D) and any related adjustment to the Number of Retained Interest Shares, by (II) one (1) minus a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class V Common Stock to be converted into shares of Class C Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5.2(m)(3)(D) and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding as of the record date or the Class V Group Redemption Selection Date used for purposes of clause (I) of this sentence. In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock, if the Class V Group Disposition was of all (not merely substantially all) of the assets of the Class V Group, then all remaining outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock shall be redeemed for cash, Publicly Traded securities (other than securities of the Corporation) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the portion of the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption determined in accordance with this Section 5.2(m)(3)(D), such aggregate amount to be allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2(m)(3)). In the event of a redemption concurrently with or following any such partial conversion of shares of Class V Common Stock, if the Class V Group Disposition was of not all of the assets of the Class V Group, then the number of shares of Class V Common Stock to be redeemed shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.2(m)(3)(B), substituting for the Class V Group Redemption Amount referred to therein the portion of the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds to be applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with this Section 5.2(m)(3)(D), and such shares shall be redeemed for cash, Publicly Traded securities (other than securities of the Corporation) or other assets, or any combination thereof, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to such portion of the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds and allocated among all such shares to be redeemed on an equal per share basis (subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2(m)(3)). In the case of a redemption, the allocation of the cash, Publicly Traded securities (other than securities of the Corporation) and/or other assets to be paid in redemption and, in the case of a partial redemption, the selection of shares to be redeemed shall be made in the manner contemplated by Section 5.2(m)(3)(B).

For purposes of this Section 5.2(m)(3) and the definition of “Class V Group Disposition” provided in Article XV:

(1) as of any date, “substantially all of the assets of the Class V Group” means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-Fair Value of the assets of the Class V Group as of such date;

(2) in the case of a Class V Group Disposition effected in a series of related transactions, such Class V Group Disposition shall not be deemed to have been consummated until the consummation of the last of such transactions;

(3) if the Board of Directors seeks the approval of the holders of Class V Common Stock entitled to vote on thereon to qualify a Class V Group Disposition as an Excluded Transaction and such approval is not obtained, the date on which such approval fails to be obtained will be treated as the date on which such Class V Group Disposition was consummated for purposes of making the determinations and taking the actions prescribed by this Section 5.2(m)(3) and Section 5.2(m)(4), and no subsequent vote may be taken to qualify such Class V Group Disposition as an Excluded Transaction; and

(4) in the event of a redemption of a portion of the outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(3)(B) or (D) at a time when the Number of Retained Interest Shares is greater than zero, the Corporation will attribute to the DHI Group concurrently with such redemption an aggregate amount (the “Retained Interest Redemption Amount”) of cash, securities (other than securities of the Corporation) or other assets, or any combination thereof, subject to adjustment as described below, with an aggregate Fair Value equal to the difference between (x) the Class V Group Net Proceeds and (y) the portion of the Class V Group Allocable Net Proceeds applied to such redemption as determined in accordance with Section 5.2(m)(3)(B) or (D) (such attribution, the “Retained Interest Partial Redemption”). Upon such Retained Interest Partial Redemption, the Number of Retained Interest Shares will be decreased in the manner described in subparagraph (ii)(B) of the definition of “Number of Retained Interest Shares” provided in Article XV. The Retained Interest Redemption Amount may, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, be reflected by an allocation to the DHI Group or by a direct transfer to the DHI Group of cash, securities and/or other assets.

(E) All public announcements made pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(4)(A), (B) or (C) shall include such further statements, and the Corporation reserves the right to make such further public announcements, as may be required by law or the rules of the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Class V Common Stock is listed or as the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, deem appropriate.

(F) No adjustments in respect of dividends shall be made upon the conversion or redemption of any shares of Class V Common Stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 5.2(m)(3)(D), if the Class V Group Conversion Date or the Class V Group Redemption Date with respect to any shares of Class V Common

Stock shall be subsequent to the record date for the payment of a dividend or other distribution thereon or with respect thereto, but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution, the holders of record of such shares of Class V Common Stock at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on or with respect to such shares on the date set for payment of such dividend or other distribution, notwithstanding the prior conversion or redemption of such shares.

(G) Before any holder of shares of Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to receive certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing shares of any kind of capital stock or cash, Publicly Traded securities or other assets to be received by such holder with respect to shares of Class V Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.2(r) or this Section 5.2(m), such holder shall surrender certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing such shares of Class V Common Stock in such manner and with such written instruments or transfer as the Corporation shall specify. The Corporation will, as soon as practicable after such surrender of certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing shares of Class V Common Stock, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the office of the transfer agent for the shares or other securities to be delivered, to the holder for whose account shares of Class V Common Stock were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing the number of shares of the kind of capital stock or cash, Publicly Traded securities or other assets to which such Person shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with any payment for fractional securities determined by the Board of Directors to be paid in accordance with Section 5.2(m)(4)(I). If less than all of the shares of Class V Common Stock represented by any one certificate are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares (including fractional shares) of Class V Common Stock not redeemed.

(H) From and after any applicable Class V Group Conversion Date, Class V Group Redemption Date or Class V Group VMware Redemption Date, all rights of a holder of shares of Class V Common Stock that were converted, redeemed or exchanged on such Class V Group Conversion Date, Class V Group Redemption Date or Class V Group VMware Redemption Date, as applicable, shall cease except for the right, upon surrender of certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing such shares of Class V Common Stock, to receive certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing shares of the kind and amount of capital stock or cash, Publicly Traded securities or other assets for which such shares were converted, redeemed or exchanged, as applicable, together with any payment for fractional securities determined by the Board of Directors to be paid in accordance with Section 5.2(m)(4)(I), and such holder shall have no other or further rights in respect of the shares of Class V Common Stock so converted, redeemed or exchanged. No holder of a certificate or book-entry interest which immediately prior to the applicable Class V Group Conversion Date, Class V Group Redemption Date or Class V Group VMware Redemption Date represented shares of Class V Common Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of any kind of capital stock into or in exchange for which the Class V Common Stock was converted, redeemed or exchanged until surrender of such holder’s certificate or book-entry interest for certificate(s) or book-entry interests representing shares of such kind of capital stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which became payable with respect to a record date prior to the Class V Group Conversion Date, Class V Group Redemption Date or Class V Group VMware Redemption Date, as the case may be, but that were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of shares of the kind of capital stock represented by the certificate(s) or book-entry interests issued upon such surrender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after a Class V Group Conversion Date, Class V Group Redemption Date or Class V Group VMware Redemption Date, as the case may be, the Corporation will be entitled to treat certificates and book-entry interests representing shares of Class V Common Stock that have not yet been surrendered for conversion, redemption or exchange in accordance with Section 5.2(m)(4)(G) as evidencing the ownership of the number of shares of the kind or kinds of capital stock for which the shares of Class V Common Stock represented by such certificates or book-entry interests shall have been converted, redeemed or exchanged in accordance with Section 5.2(r) or this Section 5.2(m), notwithstanding the failure of the holder thereof to surrender such certificates or book-entry interests.

(I) The Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any class or series of capital stock or any other securities in a smaller than authorized denomination to any holder of Class V Common Stock upon any conversion, redemption, exchange, dividend or other distribution pursuant to this Section 5.2. In connection with the determination of the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock that shall be issuable or the amount of other securities that shall be deliverable to any holder of record of Class V Common Stock upon any such conversion, redemption, exchange, dividend or other distribution (including any fractions of shares or securities), the Corporation may aggregate the shares of Class V Common Stock held at the relevant time by such holder of record.

If the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or other securities to be issued or delivered to any holder of Class V Common Stock includes a fraction, the Corporation shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, a cash adjustment in lieu of such fraction in an amount equal to the Fair Value of such fraction (without interest).

(J) Any deadline for effecting a redemption, conversion, or exchange prescribed by Section 5.2(r) or this Section 5.2(m) may be extended in the discretion of the Board of Directors if deemed necessary or appropriate to enable the Corporation to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(n) Treatment of Convertible Securities. After any Class V Group Redemption Date or Class V Group Conversion Date on which all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock are redeemed or converted, any share of Class V Common Stock of the Corporation that is to be issued on exchange, conversion or exercise of any Convertible Securities shall, immediately upon such exchange, conversion or exercise and without any notice from or to, or any other action on the part of, the Corporation or its Board of Directors or the holder of such Convertible Security:

(1) in the event the shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding on such Class V Group Redemption Date were redeemed pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(3)(B) or Section 5.2(m)(2), be redeemed, to the extent of funds legally available therefor, for $0.01 per share in cash for each share of Class V Common Stock that otherwise would be issued upon such exchange, conversion or exercise; or

(2) in the event the shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding on such Class V Group Conversion Date were converted into shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.2(m)(3)(C) or (D) or Section 5.2(r), be converted into the number of shares of Class C Common Stock that shares of Class V Common Stock would have received had such shares been outstanding and converted on such Class V Group Conversion Date.

The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 5.2(n) shall not apply to the extent that other adjustments or alternative provisions in respect of such conversion, exchange or redemption of Class V Common Stock are otherwise made or applied pursuant to the provisions of such Convertible Securities.

(o) Deemed Conversion of Certain Convertible Securities. To the extent Convertible Securities are paid as a dividend to the holders of Class V Common Stock at a time when the DHI Group holds an Inter-Group Interest in the Class V Group, in addition to making an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2(e)(1)(B)(II), the Corporation may, when at any time such Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class V Common Stock, treat such Convertible Securities as converted, exchanged or exercised for purposes of determining the increase in the Number of Retained Interest Shares pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of the definition of “Number of Retained Interest Shares” provided in Article XV, and must do so to the extent such Convertible Securities are mandatorily converted, exchanged or exercised (and to the extent the terms of such Convertible Securities require payment of consideration for such conversion, exchange or exercise, the DHI Group shall then no longer be attributed as an asset an amount of the kind of assets or properties required to be paid as such consideration for the amount of Convertible Securities deemed converted, exchanged or exercised (and the Class V Group shall be attributed such assets or properties)), in which case, from and after such time, the shares of Class V Common Stock into or for which such Convertible Securities were so considered converted, exchanged or exercised shall be deemed held by the DHI Group and such Convertible Securities shall no longer be deemed to be held by the DHI Group. A statement setting forth the election to effectuate any such deemed conversion, exchange or exercise of Convertible Securities and the assets or properties, if any, to be attributed to the Class V Group in consideration of such conversion, exchange or exercise shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation and, upon such filing, such deemed conversion, exchange or exercise shall be effectuated.

(p) Certain Determinations by the Board of Directors.

(1) General. The Board of Directors shall make such determinations with respect to (a) the businesses, assets, properties, liabilities and preferred stock to be attributed to the DHI Group and the Class V Group, (b) the application of the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation to transactions to be engaged in by the Corporation and (c) the voting powers, preferences, designations, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any series of Common Stock or of the holders thereof, as may be or become necessary or appropriate to the exercise of, or to give effect to, such voting powers, preferences, designations, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including,

without limiting the foregoing, the determinations referred to in this Section 5.2(p); provided, that any of such determinations that would require approval of the Capital Stock Committee under the Bylaws shall be effective only if made in accordance with the Bylaws. A record of any such determination shall be filed with the records of the actions of the Board of Directors.

(A) Upon any acquisition by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries of any businesses, assets or properties, or any assumption of liabilities or preferred stock, outside of the ordinary course of business of either Group, the Board of Directors shall determine whether such businesses, assets, properties, liabilities or preferred stock (or an interest therein) shall be for the benefit of the DHI Group or the Class V Group or both and, accordingly, shall be attributed to such Group or Groups, in accordance with the definitions of DHI Group or Class V Group set forth in Article XV, as the case may be.

(B) Upon any issuance of shares of Class V Common Stock at a time when the Number of Retained Interest Shares is greater than zero, the Board of Directors shall determine, based on the use of the proceeds of such issuance and any other relevant factors, whether all or any part of the shares of such series so issued shall reduce such Number of Retained Interest Shares. Upon any repurchase of shares of Class V Common Stock at any time, the Board of Directors shall determine, based on whether the cash or other assets paid in such repurchase were attributed to the DHI Group or the Class V Group and any other relevant factors, whether all or any part of the shares of such series so repurchased shall increase such Number of Retained Interest Shares.

(C) Upon any issuance by the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof of any Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class V Common Stock, if at the time such Convertible Securities are issued the Number of Retained Interest Shares related to such series is greater than zero, the Board of Directors shall determine, based on the use of the proceeds of such issuance and any other relevant factors, whether, upon conversion, exchange or exercise thereof, the issuance of shares of Class V Common Stock pursuant thereto shall, in whole or in part, reduce such Number of Retained Interest Shares.

(D) Upon any issuance of any shares of preferred stock (or stock other than Common Stock) of any series, the Board of Directors shall attribute, based on the use of proceeds of such issuance of shares of preferred stock (or stock other than Common Stock) in the business of either Group and any other relevant factors, the shares so issued entirely to the DHI Group, entirely to the Class V Group, or partly to both Groups, in such proportion as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(E) Upon any redemption or repurchase by the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof of shares of preferred stock (or stock other than Common Stock) of any class or series or of other securities or debt obligations of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall determine, based on the property used to redeem or purchase such shares, other securities or debt obligations, which, if any, of such shares, other securities or debt obligations redeemed or repurchased shall be attributed to the DHI Group, to the Class V Group, or both, and, accordingly, how many of the shares of such series or class of preferred stock (or stock other than Common Stock) or of such other securities, or how much of such debt obligations, that remain outstanding, if any, are thereafter attributed to each Group.

(F) Upon any transfer to either Group of businesses, assets or properties attributed to the other Group, the Board of Directors shall determine the consideration therefor to be attributed to the transferring Group in exchange therefor, including, without limitation, cash, securities or other property of the other Group, or shall decrease or increase the Number of Retained Interest Shares, as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) or (iii)(D), as the case may be, of the definition of “Number of Retained Interest Shares” provided in Article XV.

(G) Upon any assumption by either Group of liabilities or preferred stock attributed to the other Group, the Board of Directors shall determine the consideration therefor to be attributed to the assuming Group in exchange therefor, including, without limitation, cash, securities or other property of the other Group, or shall decrease or increase the Number of Retained Interest Shares, as described in subparagraph (ii)(D) or (iii)(D), as the case may be, of the definition of “Number of Retained Interest Shares” provided in Article XV.

(2) Certain Determinations Not Required. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2(p) or any other provision in this Certificate of Incorporation, at any time when there are no shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding (or Convertible Securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class V Common Stock), the Corporation need not:

(A) attribute any of the businesses, assets, properties, liabilities or preferred stock of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to the DHI Group or the Class V Group; or

(B) make any determination required in connection therewith, nor shall the Board of Directors be required to make any of the determinations otherwise required by this Section 5.2(p),

and in such circumstances the holders of the shares of DHI Common Stock outstanding shall (unless otherwise specifically provided in this Certificate of Incorporation) be entitled to all the voting powers, preferences, designations, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of common stock of the Corporation.

(3) Board Determinations Binding. Any determinations made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation under any provision of this Section 5.2(p) or otherwise in furtherance of the application of this Section 5.2 shall be final and binding; provided, that any of such determinations that would require approval of the Capital Stock Committee under the Bylaws shall be final and binding only if made in accordance with the Bylaws.

(q) Conversion of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock.

(1) At any time and from time to time, (i) any holder of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock shall have the right by written election to the Corporation to convert all or any of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, held by such holder into shares of Class C Common Stock on a one-to-one basis and (ii) any holder of Class D Common Stock, subject to any legal requirements applicable to such holder (including any applicable requirements under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and any other applicable antitrust laws), shall have the right by written election to the Corporation to convert all or any of the shares of Class D Common Stock held by such holder into shares of Class C Common Stock on a one-to-one basis.

(2) If any such holder seeks to convert any share of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5.2(q), such written election shall be delivered by certified mail or courier, postage prepaid, to the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent. Each such written election shall (i) state the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as applicable, elected to be converted and (ii) be accompanied by the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as applicable, being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (and, if so required by the Corporation or its transfer agent, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer). The conversion of such shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as applicable, shall be deemed effective as of the close of business on the date of receipt by the Corporation’s transfer agent of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as applicable, and any other instruments required by this Section 5.2(q)(2).

(3) Upon receipt by the Corporation’s transfer agent of a written election accompanied by the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as applicable, being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (and, if so required by the Corporation or its transfer agent, accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer), the Corporation shall deliver to the relevant holder (i) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee) for the number of shares of Class C Common Stock (including any fractional share) to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, and (ii) if applicable, a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee) for the number of shares (including any fractional share) of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, as applicable, represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election. All shares of Class C Common Stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(4) Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, upon any Transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock to any Person other than (i) a Permitted Transferee of the transferor, (ii) in the case of the Class A Common Stock, (x) in a transfer pursuant to a Qualified Sale Transaction or (y) in connection with the transfer, at substantially the same time, of an aggregate number of shares of DHI Common Stock held by the MSD Partners Stockholders and their Permitted Transferees greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of DHI Common Stock owned by the MSD Partners Stockholders immediately following the closing of the Merger (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event occurring after the closing of the Merger) to any Person or group of Affiliated Persons or (iii) the case of the Class B Common Stock, in connection with the transfer, at substantially the same time, of an aggregate number of shares of DHI Common Stock held by the transferor and its Permitted Transferees greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of DHI Common Stock owned by the SLP Stockholders immediately following the closing of the Merger (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or similar event occurring after the closing of the Merger) to any Person or group of Affiliated Persons, the shares so Transferred shall automatically and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer be converted into shares of Class C Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

(5) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class C Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock, such number of shares of Class C Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class D Common Stock.

(r) Conversion of Class V Common Stock into Class C Common Stock at the Option of the Corporation.

(1) At the option of the Corporation, exercisable at any time the Class C Common Stock is then Publicly Traded, the Board of Directors may authorize (the date the Board of Directors makes such authorization, the “Determination Date”) that each outstanding share of Class V Common Stock be converted into a number (or fraction) of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Publicly Traded shares of Class C Common Stock equal to the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by multiplying the Applicable Conversion Percentage as of the Determination Date by the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (I) the Average Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock over the 10-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the Determination Date, by (II) the Average Market Value of a share of Class C Common Stock over the same 10-Trading Day period.

(2) At the option of the Corporation, if a Tax Event occurs, the Board of Directors may authorize that each outstanding share of Class V Common Stock be converted into a number (or fraction) of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class C Common Stock equal to the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by multiplying 100% by the amount (calculated to the nearest five decimal places) obtained by dividing (I) the Average Market Value of a share of Class V Common Stock over the 10-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the Determination Date, by (II) the Average Market Value of a share of Class C Common Stock over the same 10-Trading Day period; provided, that such conversion shall only occur if the Class C Common Stock, upon issuance in such conversion, will have been registered under all applicable U.S. securities laws and will be listed for trading on a U.S. securities exchange.

(3) If the Corporation determines to convert shares of Class V Common Stock into Class C Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5.2(r), such conversion shall occur on a Class V Group Conversion Date on or prior to the 45th day following the Determination Date and shall otherwise be effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(m)(4).

(4) The Corporation shall not convert shares of Class V Common Stock into shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5.2(r) without converting all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock into shares of Class C Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5.2(r).

(s) Transfer Taxes. The Corporation will pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of a certificate or certificates representing any shares of capital stock and/or other securities on conversion or redemption of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5.2. The Corporation will not, however, be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any issue or

delivery of a certificate or certificates representing any shares of capital stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Common Stock so converted or redeemed were registered and no such issue or delivery will be made unless and until the Person requesting the same has paid to the Corporation or its transfer agent the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Corporation or its transfer agent that such tax has been paid.

ARTICLE VI

(a) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

(b) The Board of Directors shall consist of:

(1) The Group I directors (the “Group I Directors”). The holders of Common Stock (other than the holders of Class D Common Stock), voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect, vote to remove or fill any vacancy in respect of any Group I Director. The number of Group I Directors may be increased (to no more than twenty (20)) or decreased (to no less than three (3)) by action of the Board of Directors that includes the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the Board of Directors, (ii) a majority of the Group II Directors (as defined below), if any, and (iii) a majority of the Group III Directors (as defined below), if any. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, upon the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event, the number of directors constituting the Group I Directors shall automatically be increased by the number of Group II Directors and Group III Directors that shall become Group I directors pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Article VI below. Any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors with respect to the Group I Directors that results from an increase in the number of Group I Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, provided, that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors with respect to the Group I Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A majority of the Common Stock (other than the Class D Common Stock), voting together as a single class, shall be entitled remove any Group I Director with or without cause at any time. Each Group I Director shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote. Until a Designation Rights Trigger Event, in the event that the Board of Directors consists of a number of directors entitled to an aggregate amount of votes that is less than seven (7), the number of Group I Directors shall automatically be increased to such number as is necessary to ensure that the voting power of the Board of Directors is equal to an aggregate of seven (7) votes (assuming, for each such calculation, full attendance by each director);

(2) Until a Designation Rights Trigger Event has occurred with respect to the Class A Common Stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series, to elect up to three (3) directors (the “Group II Directors”), and, voting separately as a series, shall solely be entitled to elect, vote to remove or fill any vacancy in respect of any Group II Director. Upon the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event with respect to the Class A Common Stock, the rights of the Class A Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (2) shall immediately terminate and no right to elect Group II Directors shall thereafter attach to the Class A Common Stock. The number of Group II Directors may be increased (to no more than three (3)) by action of the Group II Directors or vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a series, or decreased (to no less than one (1)) by vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a series. In the case of any vacancy or newly-created directorship occurring with respect to the Group II Directors, such vacancy shall only be filled by the vote of the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a series. The holders of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a series, shall be entitled to remove any Group II Director with or without cause at any time. Each Group II Director shall be entitled to cast that number of votes (or a fraction thereof) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Aggregate Group II Director Votes by (ii) the number of Group II Directors then in office; and

(3) Until a Designation Rights Trigger Event has occurred with respect to the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series, to elect up to three (3) directors (the “Group III Directors”), and, voting separately as a series, shall solely be entitled to elect, vote to remove or fill any vacancy in respect of any Group III Director. Upon the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event with respect to the Class B Common Stock, the rights of the Class B Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph (3) shall immediately terminate and no right to elect Group III Directors shall thereafter attach to the Class B Common Stock. The number of Group III Directors may be increased (to no more than three (3)) by action of the Group III

Directors or vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a series, or decreased (to no less than one (1)) by vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a series. In the case of any vacancy or newly-created directorship occurring with respect to the Group III Directors, such vacancy or newly-created directorship shall only be filled by the vote of the holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a series. The holders of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a series, shall be entitled to remove any Group III Director with or without cause at any time. Each Group III Director shall be entitled to cast that number of votes (or a fraction thereof) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Aggregate Group III Director Votes by (ii) the number of Group III Directors then in office.

(c) No stockholders of the Corporation other than the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to vote with respect to the election or the removal without cause of any Group II Director. No stockholders of the Corporation other than the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to vote with respect to the election or the removal without cause of any Group III Director. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be required, and shall be sufficient, to constitute a quorum of such series for the election of Group II Directors by such series and the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be required, and shall be sufficient, to constitute a quorum of such series for the election of Group III Directors by such series. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof, the absence of a quorum of any of the holders of the Class A Common Stock and/or the Class B Common Stock shall not prevent the election of directors other than the Group II Directors and/or the Group III Directors, as applicable, and the absence of a quorum or quorums of the holders of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to elect such other directors shall not prevent the election of the Group II Directors and/or the Group III Directors, as applicable.

(d) In the event that the Group II Directors and the Group III Directors are entitled to an equal aggregate number of votes that is greater than zero (0) (assuming, for such calculation, full attendance by each applicable Group II Director and Group III Director), any matter that requires approval by the Board of Directors will require the approval of (i) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all directors, (ii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Group II Directors and (iii) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the Group III Directors.

(e) As long as (a) no IPO has occurred, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the MD Stockholders exceeds either (x) 35% of the issued and outstanding DHI Common Stock or (y) the number of shares of DHI Common Stock beneficially owned by the SLP Stockholders and (c) no Disabling Event has occurred and is continuing, then (x) removal of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall require the approval of the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a series, and (y) unless otherwise consented to by the holders of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a series, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall also serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors (provided, the Chief Executive Officer is a director).

(f) Upon the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event with respect to the Class A Common Stock, each Group II Director then serving as a director shall become a Group I Director, and the Aggregate Group II Director Votes shall thereafter be zero (0). Upon the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event with respect to the Class B Common Stock, each Group III Director then serving as a director shall become a Group I Director, and the Aggregate Group III Director Votes shall thereafter be zero (0).

(g) To the extent that this Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors elected by the holders of a class or series of stock shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws to a majority or other proportion of directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of such directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director when serving on a committee or subcommittee of the Board of Directors shall be entitled to cast that number of votes in respect of the total votes on any matter coming before such committee or subcommittee as shall be specified pursuant to the Bylaws, or if not so specified, then as may be set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors designating such committee not inconsistent with the Bylaws or any stockholder agreement or similar contractual arrangement to which the Corporation is a party.

ARTICLE VII

Elections of the members of the Board of Directors shall be held annually at the annual meeting of stockholders and each director shall be elected for a term commencing on the date of such director’s election and ending on the earliest of (i) the date such director’s successor is elected and qualified, (ii) the date of such director’s death, resignation, disqualification or removal, (iii) solely in the case of the Group II Directors, the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event with respect to the Class A Common Stock, and (iv) solely in the case of the Group III Directors, the occurrence of a Designation Rights Trigger Event with respect to the Class B Common Stock. In the event that Group II Directors and Group III Directors become Group I Directors pursuant to Article VI, paragraph (f), then each such director shall serve until the earliest of (i) the date such director’s successor is elected and qualified and (ii) the date of such director’s death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Elections of the members of the Board need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

ARTICLE VIII

ARTICLE IX

Subject to any limitations set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.2(h)(2)(B), and to obtaining any required stockholder votes or consents required hereby, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws or adopt new Bylaws, without any action on the part of the stockholders; provided, that Bylaws adopted or amended by the Board of Directors and any powers thereby conferred may be amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders subject to any limitations set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE X

(a) A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for such liability as is expressly not subject to limitation under the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended to further limit or eliminate such liability. Moreover, the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any and all officers and directors of the Corporation, and may, to the fullest extent permitted by law or to such lesser extent as is determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors, indemnify any and all other persons whom it shall have power to indemnify, from and against all expenses, liabilities or other matters arising out of their status as such or their acts, omissions or services rendered in such capacities. The Corporation shall have the power to 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 or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

(b) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a ”proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a

director or officer of another Corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article X shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article X or otherwise.

(c) The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article X.

(d) If a written claim for advancement and payment of expenses received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, or if a written claim for indemnification following final disposition of the applicable proceeding received by the Corporation by or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(e) The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(f) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as 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 or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(g) If this Article X or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article X that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE XI

The Corporation hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees in the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both (x) the Covered Person outside of his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation and (y) the Corporation or any Subsidiary, the Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation or any Subsidiary. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, and waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Corporation, any Subsidiary or their respective stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other Person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another Person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation or such Subsidiary; provided, however, in each such case, that any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in writing solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Corporation shall belong to the Corporation. The Corporation shall pay in advance any expenses incurred in defense of such claim as provided in this provision, except to the extent that a Covered Person is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a Delaware court having competent jurisdiction (or any other judgment which is not appealed in the applicable time) to have breached this Article XI, in which case any such advanced expenses shall be promptly reimbursed to the Corporation.
