ARTICLE II.

EFFECT ON THE EQUITY OF THE CONSTITUENT ENTITIES; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock of Hyde Park, Merger Sub 1 and Parent. At the Hyde Park Effective Time, by virtue of the Hyde Park Merger and without any action on the part of Hyde Park, Parent, Merger Sub 1 or any holder of (i) any shares of Hyde Park common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Hyde Park Common Stock”) or (ii) any shares of Hyde Park preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Hyde Park Preferred Stock” and, together with Hyde Park Common Stock, “Hyde Park Stock”):

(a) Conversion of Certain Stock. All shares of Hyde Park Common Stock that are held by Hyde Park as treasury stock or that are owned by Hyde Park, Merger Sub 1 or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Hyde Park immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Hyde Park Common Stock. Subject to the other provisions of Article II (including, without limitation, Sections 2.6 and 2.7), each share of Hyde Park Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and Conversion Shares) shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (such shares referred to collectively as the “Hyde Park Merger Consideration”). As of the Hyde Park Effective Time, all shares of Hyde Park Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Hyde Park Common Stock (a “Hyde Park Certificate”) or shares of Hyde Park Common Stock held in book entry form (the “Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares”) shall, subject to Section 2.6, cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), the Hyde Park Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Hyde Park Certificate, without interest.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub 1 Stock. Each share of Merger Sub 1 common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hyde Park Surviving Corporation.

(d) Conversion of Parent Stock. Each share of Parent Common Stock that is held by Hyde Park immediately prior to the Effective Times shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.2 Hyde Park Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Times, Parent shall deposit with a nationally recognized financial institution or trust company designated by Parent and the Company and reasonably acceptable to Hyde Park to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the exchange of certificates representing the full number of shares of Parent Stock (as defined below) issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(b), 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) in exchange for outstanding shares of Hyde Park Common Stock and Company Membership Interests (such shares of Parent Stock provided to the Exchange Agent, the “Exchange Fund”). Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Parent Common Stock contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1(b), 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Parent, the Company and Hyde Park shall enter into an agreement relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(b) Hyde Park Certificates. Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Hyde Park Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Hyde Park Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Hyde Park Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Hyde Park Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as are reasonably satisfactory to both Hyde Park and the Company) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Hyde Park Certificates in exchange for the Hyde Park Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Hyde Park Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Hyde Park Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”)) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and the Hyde Park Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Hyde Park Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Hyde Park, shares may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the Hyde Park Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Hyde Park Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance to a person other than the registered holder of such Hyde Park Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Hyde Park Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Hyde Park 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 Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Hyde Park Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Hyde Park Merger Consideration shall automatically upon the Hyde Park Effective Time (or, at any later time at which such Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares shall be so converted) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Hyde Park Effective Time, in respect of each share of Hyde Park Common Stock the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and the Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be canceled.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Hyde Park Common Stock. The Hyde Park Merger Consideration issued in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon the surrender of the Hyde Park Certificates (or, automatically, in the case of the Hyde Park Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Hyde Park Common Stock. After the Hyde Park Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Hyde Park Surviving Corporation of shares of Hyde Park Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time. If, after the Hyde Park Effective Time, any Hyde Park Certificates formerly representing shares of Hyde Common Park Stock are presented to the Hyde Park Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II. No dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Hyde Park Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Hyde Park Common Stock until such holder shall surrender such Hyde Park Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2. After the surrender of Hyde Park Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.2, the holder thereof shall be entitled (in addition to the Hyde Park Merger Consideration issuable to such holder pursuant to this Article II) to any dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which, prior to such surrender, had become payable with respect to the Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange for such Hyde Park Common Stock.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Hyde Park Common Stock for 180 days after the Hyde Park Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Hyde Park Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for payment of its claim for the Hyde Park Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive with respect to such Hyde Park Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any portion of the Hyde Park Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the holders of Hyde Park Certificates as of the second anniversary of the Hyde Park Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Hyde Park Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Hyde Park Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. None of Hyde Park, the Company, Parent, the Merger Subs or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock from the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Hyde Park Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Hyde Park Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in reasonable amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Hyde Park Certificate, the Exchange Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.2(d), Parent) will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Hyde Park Certificate the shares of Parent Common Stock that would be deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Hyde Park Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article II.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Hyde Park Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under 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, Parent will be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Hyde Park Common Stock, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 2.3 Effect on Company Membership Interests and Merger Sub 2. At the SME Effective Time, by virtue of the SME Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub 2 or any holders of (i) preferred limited liability company interests of the Company (“Company Preferred Membership Interests”) or (ii) common limited liability company interests of the Company (“Company Common Membership Interests” and, together with the Company Preferred Membership Interests, “Company Membership Interests”):

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Membership Interests. All Company Membership Interests that are owned by the Company, Merger Sub 2 or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall automatically be canceled, and no Parent Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Preferred Membership Interests. Subject to the other provisions of Article II, each Company Preferred Membership Interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of preferred stock of Parent (the “Parent Preferred Stock” and, together with Parent Common Stock, the “Parent Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (such shares referred to collectively as the “Company Preferred Merger Consideration”). In addition, immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (i) all accrued and unpaid distributions on outstanding Company Preferred Membership Interests shall be converted into a maximum of 5,599,212 Company Common Membership Interests, to be held by the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties on a pro rata basis in accordance with the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ respective ownership percentages of Company Preferred Membership Interests, and (ii) the fee owed by the Company to the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties as consideration for the guaranty provided by the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties pursuant to that certain Guaranty Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2012, between the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties and Mutual of Omaha Bank, shall be converted into 500,000 Company Common Membership Interests, to be held by the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties on a pro rata basis in accordance with the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties’ respective ownership percentages of Company Preferred Membership Interests.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Membership Interests. Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each Company Common Membership Interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, including all Company Common Membership Interests issued to the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties pursuant to Section 2.3(b) hereto) shall be converted into a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to 0.2857 (the “Exchange Ratio”) (such shares the “Company Common Merger Consideration” and, together with the Company Preferred Merger Consideration, the “Company Merger Consideration”).

(d) Cancellation of Profits Interest Units. At the SME Effective Time, by virtue of the SME Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub 2 or any holder of any Profits Interest Unit (as defined below), each Profits Interest Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall automatically terminate and be canceled, and no Parent Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. Not later than immediately prior to the SME Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Profits Interest Plan (as defined below).

(e) Conversion of Merger Sub 2 Membership Interests. At the SME Effective Time, each common limited liability company interest of Merger Sub 2 shall be converted into one common limited liability company interest of SME Surviving LLC.

(f) Cancellation of Parent Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock that are held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Times shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.4 SME Exchange Procedures.

(a) Delivery of Parent Stock. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver as promptly as practicable after the SME Effective Time, in respect of each Company Membership Interest, the shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable (all of which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by such holder of record, such shares are the subject of a lock-up agreement or lock-up provisions in Parent’s certificate of incorporation or such shares constitute restricted securities or control securities under the Securities Act) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and 2.3(c), as applicable, and such holder shall cease to be a member of the SME Surviving LLC or to have any rights or interests with respect thereto.

(b) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of a Company Membership Interest pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under 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, Parent will be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Membership Interests, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 2.5 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued in the Mergers, but in lieu thereof, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to each holder of Company Common Membership Interests shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and solely to the extent available to Hyde Park stockholders under Section 262 of the DGCL, Hyde Park Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Hyde Park Effective Time and that is held by stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the Hyde Park Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal (“Dissent Rights”) for such shares (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock. To the extent Dissent Rights are available pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of the Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of said Section 262 except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Merger Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the shares of Parent Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.1 above. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Hyde Park nor any other Party intends to confer upon any Hyde Park stockholder any right of appraisal or dissenters’ right that is in addition to the rights to which Hyde Park stockholders are expressly entitled under Section 262 of the DGCL by reason of the Hyde Park Merger.

Section 2.7 Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Hyde Park Common Stock that is subject to a valid demand for conversion in accordance with the Hyde Park Organizational Documents (as defined below) and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (“Conversion Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock and such Conversion Shares will represent the right to receive payment of their pro rata portion of the Trust Account in accordance with the Hyde Park Organizational Documents from and after the Effective Times.

Section 2.8 Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (and as permitted by Article V), the outstanding Company Membership Interests or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or units or a different class by reason of any dividend, distribution, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, redemption, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Company Merger Consideration and the Exchange Ratio and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Section 2.9 Phantom Equity Plan.

(a) At the SME Effective Time, each award of Phantom Equity Units that is outstanding immediately prior to the SME Effective Time shall vest in full and shall be terminated and canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Phantom Equity Units subject to such award immediately prior to the SME Effective Time, and (ii) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Phantom Equity Plan) of a Company Common Membership Interest as of immediately prior to the SME Effective Time (the “Phantom Equity Consideration”). The Company shall pay the Phantom Equity Consideration, less any applicable withholding pursuant to Section 2.2(h), to each former holder of a canceled Phantom Equity Unit at or promptly following the SME Effective Time (but in no event more than ten (10) business days following the SME Effective Time). The payment of the Phantom Equity Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) shall be in full satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to the canceled Phantom Equity Units, and on and after the SME Effective Time, each holder of a Phantom Equity Unit shall have no further rights with respect to any Phantom Equity Unit, other than the right to receive the Phantom Equity Consideration as provided in this Section 2.9(a).

(b) Not later than immediately prior to the SME Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the Phantom Equity Plan.

Section 2.10 Further Assurances. If at any time before or after the Effective Times, Hyde Park or the Company reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Mergers or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Times, then Hyde Park, Parent, the Merger Subs, the Company and the Surviving Companies and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Mergers and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. Each of Hyde Park and the Company shall timely take all necessary action, in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent, and shall cause its officers, employees and representatives, in their capacities as directors and officers of Parent, Merger Sub 1 and/or Merger Sub 2, to timely take all necessary action, required to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Neither Hyde Park nor the Company shall, in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent, nor shall Hyde Park or the Company permit its officers, directors, managers or representatives to take, in their capacities as officers and/or directors of Parent, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2, any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of Parent, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 to comply with their respective obligations hereunder or would otherwise prohibit, materially delay or impede the Closing or the satisfaction of any condition to either Hyde Park’s or the Company’s obligations to consummate the Closing.

(a) The Company has the requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other document to be entered into by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (together with this Agreement, the “Company Transaction Documents”) and, subject to receipt of approval of this Agreement by the members of the Company holding at least 29% of the outstanding Company Common Membership Interests and a majority of the outstanding Company Preferred Membership Interests (the “Company Unitholder Approval”), to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Mergers. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Company Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Company Board.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 3.5(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Company Transaction Documents do not, and (assuming the Company Approvals and the Company Unitholder Approval are obtained) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions hereof will not (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) (i) result in any loss, or suspension, limitation or impairment of any right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to own or use any assets required for the conduct of their business or result in any violation of, or default under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, first offer, first refusal, modification or acceleration of any material obligation or to the loss of a benefit under any loan, guarantee of indebtedness or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, agreement, contract (including, without limitation, any Oil and Natural Gas Lease or Oil and Natural Gas Contract), instrument, permit, concession, franchise, right or license binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party or by which or to which any of their respective properties, rights or assets are bound or subject, or result in the creation of any liens, claims, mortgages, encumbrances, pledges, security interests, equities or charges of any kind (each, a “Lien”) other than Company Permitted Liens, in each case, upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with or result in any violation of any provision of the Company Organizational Documents or (iii) conflict with or violate any applicable Laws, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), for such losses, suspensions, limitations, impairments, conflicts, violations, defaults, terminations, cancellations, accelerations, or Liens as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The Company is in compliance in all respects with any applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction, decree or agency requirement of any Governmental Entity (collectively, “Laws” and each, a “Law”), except where non-compliance would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Since January 1, 2012, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or, to the Company’s knowledge, other communication from a Governmental Entity regarding any actual or possible violation of, or failure to comply with, any Law, except for such violations or failures to comply which would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company owns, holds or possesses all permits, licenses, franchises, orders, consents, approvals and authorizations from Governmental Authorities (“Company Permits”) that are necessary to entitle it to own or lease, operate and use its assets and to carry on and conduct its business, or timely application has been made for certain permits for certain near-term planned business operations and their issuance is pending, except where failure to own, hold or possess would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received notice that any of such applications for permits will, or is likely to be, denied. The Company is in compliance in all respects with such Company Permits, except where failure to own, hold or possess would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(a) There are no investigations, actions, suits or proceedings (whether administrative or judicial) pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any person or entity whose liability the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law, alleging non-compliance with or other liability under any Environmental Law and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no existing facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such action, suit or proceeding.

(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries are, and except for matters that have been fully resolved with the applicable Governmental Entity, since January 1, 2012 have been, in compliance with all Environmental Laws (which compliance includes the possession by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries of all Company Permits required under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective business and operations, and compliance with the terms and conditions thereof).

(c) There have been no Releases at any location of Hazardous Materials by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Company’s knowledge, as a result of any operations or activities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any fine, penalty, remediation, investigation, obligation or liability of any kind to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(d) None of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the Company’s knowledge, any predecessor of any of them, is subject to any Order or any indemnity obligation (other than asset retirement obligations, plugging and abandonment obligations and other reserves of the Company set forth in the Company Reserve Reports (as defined below) or Company Financial Statements that have been provided to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement) or other contract with any other person that could reasonably be expected to result in obligations or liabilities under applicable Environmental Laws or concerning Hazardous Materials or Releases; and

(e) None of the Company and its Subsidiaries has received any unresolved claim, notice, complaint or request for information from a Governmental Entity or any other person relating to actual or alleged noncompliance with or liability under applicable Environmental Laws (including any such liability or obligation arising under, retained or assumed by contract or by operation of law) and there are no other circumstances or conditions involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in any claim, liability, remediation, investigation, cost or restriction on the ownership, use, development or transfer of any property pursuant to applicable Environmental Law.

(a) Section 3.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of (i) any “employee welfare benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), including, but not limited to, any medical plan, life insurance plan, short-term or long-term disability plan, dental plan, and sick leave; (ii) any “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, including, but not limited to, any excess benefit, top hat or deferred compensation plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation or retirement plan or arrangement or any qualified defined contribution or defined benefit plan; or (iii) any other material plan, policy, program, arrangement or agreement which provides employee benefits or benefits to any current, or, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any remaining liability with respect thereto, any former, employee, dependent, beneficiary, director, independent contractor or like person, including, but not limited to, any severance agreement or plan, material fringe benefit plan or program, bonus or incentive plan, stock option, restricted stock, stock bonus or deferred bonus plan, change-of-control or employment agreement (or consulting agreement with a former employee), in each case, that is maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contributes or is obligated to contribute (each such plan that is not a PEO Benefit Plan (as defined below), a “Company Benefit Plan”), but excluding any plan maintained by a human resources and benefits outsourcing entity, professional employer organization or other similar vendor or provider in which the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective current or former employees participate (each, a “PEO Benefit Plan”). Section 3.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter identifies each PEO Benefit Plan.

(b) With respect to the Company Benefit Plans, correct and complete copies of the following, each to the extent applicable, have been delivered or made available to Hyde Park by the Company: (i) each written Company Benefit Plan, as amended to the Closing, together with all required audited or unaudited financial statements, as applicable, and actuarial reports for the three (3) most recent plan years, if any; (ii) each funding vehicle with respect to each Company Benefit Plan; (iii) the most recent and any other material determination letter, ruling or notice issued by any Governmental Entity with respect to each Company Benefit Plan; (iv) the Form 5500 Annual Report (or evidence of any applicable exemption) for the three (3) most recent plan years to the extent such forms are required for any Company Benefit Plan; and (v) the most recent summary plan description and any summary of material modifications thereto which relates to any Company Benefit Plan. A description of any unwritten Company Benefit Plans is set forth in Section 3.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Neither the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has made any commitment to amend any existing Company Benefit Plan or to adopt or approve any new Company Benefit Plan. No Company Benefit Plan is maintained outside the jurisdiction of the United States, or provides benefits or compensation to any employees or other service providers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who reside or primarily provide services outside of the United States.

(c) Each Company Benefit Plan, and except as could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, each PEO Benefit Plan (i) has been established, operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code, (ii) has been and is operated and funded in such a manner as to qualify, where appropriate, for both federal and state purposes, for income tax exclusions to its participants, tax-exempt income for its funding vehicle, and the allowance of deductions and credits with respect to contributions thereto, and (iii) that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Qualified Plan”) is the subject of a favorable determination letter or prototype opinion letter from the IRS, and such determination or opinion letter has not been revoked (nor, to the Company’s knowledge, has revocation been threatened), and there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred, in either case, that would adversely affect the qualified status of any such Qualified Plan. All contributions required to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan by applicable Law or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all premiums due or payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to insurance policies funding any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid on or before the date hereof, have been fully reflected on the books and records of Company, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan.

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has maintained, established, contributed to, been obligated to contribute to, or otherwise has or had any liability in respect of (i) a pension plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (ii) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) or 4001 of ERISA), (iii) a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code), other than any PEO Benefit Plan, or (iv) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).

(e) There are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened actions, suits, investigations, or claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course, and which have not and are not expected to lead to arbitration or litigation), which have been asserted or instituted against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, any fiduciaries of a Company Benefit Plan with respect to their duties to the Company Benefit Plans or the assets of any of the trusts under any of the Company Benefit Plans, which could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan, and there are no facts which could reasonably give rise to any liability, action, suit, investigation, or claim against any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, or any fiduciary or plan administrator or other person dealing with any such Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan or the assets thereof that could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f) None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability or excise Tax under the provisions under Chapter 43 of the Code which could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Benefit Plan. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, other than a transaction that is exempt under a statutory or administrative exemption) has occurred with respect to any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan.

(g) No Company Benefit Plan provides for any post-employment or post-retirement medical or life insurance benefits for retired, former or current employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or beneficiaries or dependents thereof), except as required by Section 4980B of the Code or any similar, applicable Law.

(h) Except as set forth in Section 3.10(h) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby could, either alone or in combination with another event, (i) entitle any employee, director, officer or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any material increase in severance pay, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or materially increase the amount of compensation due to any such employee, director, officer or independent contractor, (iii) directly or indirectly cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to transfer or set aside any assets to fund any material benefits under any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, (iv) otherwise give rise to any material liability to the Company under any Company Benefit Plan or PEO Benefit Plan, or (v) limit or restrict the right to merge, materially amend, terminate or transfer the assets of any Company Benefit Plan on or following the Closing Date.

(i) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, either alone or in combination with another event (contingent or otherwise), result in any payment (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) to any “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, to constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any Contract, agreement or arrangement that requires the Company or such Subsidiary to provide a gross-up for taxes owed pursuant to Section 409A or 4999 of the Code.

(j) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company and all of its Subsidiaries have, for purposes of each relevant Company Benefit Plan and PEO Benefit Plan, correctly classified those individuals performing services for such entities as common law employees, leased employees, independent contractors or agents thereof.

(k) Each Company Benefit Plan which is a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) (i) has been administered in compliance, in all material respects, with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations issued and outstanding thereunder, and (ii) has been in a written form that complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and final regulations issued and outstanding thereunder, such that, it could not reasonably be expected that, in the event of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any individual participating in such Company Benefit Plan, the additional tax described in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) would be assessed against any such participant with respect to benefits due or accruing under such Employee Benefit Plan.

Section 3.11 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth on Section 3.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter and otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, since January 1, 2013, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been conducted in all material respects in the ordinary course of business and there have not been any events, changes, effects, developments or occurrences that have had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Since September 30, 2013, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has taken any action that, if undertaken after the date of this Agreement, would constitute a violation of Section 5.1(b) of this Agreement.

Section 3.12 Investigations; Litigation. Except as set forth on Section 3.12 of the Company Disclosure Letter and except as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, (a) there is no investigation or review pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) there are no actions, suits, inquiries, investigations, proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information relating to potential violations of law pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, (c) there are no orders, judgments or decrees of, or before, any Governmental Entity against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (d) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any action, suit, arbitration, mediation or similar proceeding against any Governmental Entity or other third party and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any present intention to assert any material claim (or claim which could result in material counterclaims) in any action, suit, arbitration, mediation or similar proceeding.

Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.8 shall be null and void.

Section 8.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto and the documents and the instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and, subject to Section 5.10, this Agreement is not intended to grant standing to any person other than the parties hereto.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

(a) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the Corporation’s stockholders; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL. No stockholder of the Corporation shall be entitled to exercise any right of cumulative voting.

(b) Dividends. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, and subject to any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, as it may be amended from time to time, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, as, if and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) out of the funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as the Board may from time to time determine, payable to stockholders of record on such dates, not exceeding 60 days preceding the dividend payment dates, as shall be fixed for such purpose by the Board in advance of payment of each particular dividend.

Section 3. Kayne Preferred Stock. 50,000 shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated “Kayne Preferred Stock” with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or “subsections” in this Section 3 refer to sections and subsections of this Section 3. The original purchase price of the Kayne Preferred Stock shall be $1,000.00 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to the Kayne Preferred Stock) (the “Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price”).

(a) Dividends.

(i) The holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends on any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, in respect of each outstanding share of Kayne Preferred Stock, dividends at a rate per annum equal to the Kayne Dividend Rate (as defined below) (the “Kayne Preferred Dividend”), to be paid, at the option of the Corporation, in cash or in a number of additional shares of Kayne Preferred Stock (including fractional shares) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Kayne Preferred Dividend by the Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Kayne Preferred Dividend shall be cumulative, shall accrue daily (whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are funds legally available therefor) and shall be payable on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Redemption Date, the holders of outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the Kayne Preferred Dividend in cash on each Dividend Payment Date. Any dividend not paid on the Dividend Payment Date shall be fully cumulative and shall accrue and compound quarterly from the date of such Dividend Payment Date (whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are funds legally available therefor) at the applicable Kayne Dividend Rate and shall be in arrears until paid. The “Kayne Dividend Rate” shall be a rate of 8% per annum; provided that, at any time after the declaration of an Event of Default (as defined below) the Kayne Dividend Rate shall be increased to a rate of 12% per annum, which rate shall increase annually by 100 basis points on each anniversary of the occurrence of such Event of Default; provided that the Kayne Dividend Rate shall not exceed 15% per annum.

(ii) An “Event of Default” means the occurrence or continuance, of any of the following events:

(1) the Corporation fails to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to Subsection 3(e)(i) (for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether or not the Corporation has legally available funds therefor); or

(2) the Corporation shall (i) commence a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as from time to time in effect; (ii) file an answer or other pleading, admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it commencing an involuntary case under said Title 11, or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the relief therein provided, or by its failing to controvert timely the material allegations of any such petition; (iii) become subject to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case commenced under said Title 11, which order is not being diligently contested by the Corporation; (iv) seek relief as a debtor under any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or by its consenting to or acquiescing in such relief; (v) become subject to the entry of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction (x) finding it to be bankrupt or insolvent, (y) ordering or approving its liquidation, reorganization or any modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors, or (z) assuming custody of, or appointing a receiver or other custodian for, all or a substantial part of its property, which order is not being diligently contested by the Corporation; or (vi) make an assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition with, its creditors, or appointing or consenting to the appointment of a receiver or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property.

(3) If an Event of Default occurs, each holder of Kayne Preferred Stock shall also have any other rights which such holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law.

(iii) So long as any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not pay or declare any dividend, whether in cash or property, or make any other distribution on any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation.

(b) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.

(i) Preferential Payments to Holders of Kayne Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon (the “Kayne Preferred Liquidation Preference”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 3(b)(i), the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

(ii) Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

(iii) Deemed Liquidation Events.

(1) Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation prior to the effective date of any such event:

(a) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or any other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in substantially the same proportions (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization;

(b) any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Corporation is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred to a single party or group of affiliated parties; or

(c) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

(iv) Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.

(1) In any Deemed Liquidation Event, if the consideration to be received is securities of a corporation or other entity or other property other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined by the Board, including the approval of one of the Kayne Directors (as defined below), on the date such determination is made.

(2) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii).

(3) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of the Corporation subject to contingencies, the Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

(i) Separate Vote of Kayne Capital Advisors. For so long as ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Advisors, L.P. and/or its affiliates and transferees of Kayne Preferred Stock (collectively, “Kayne Capital Advisors”) holds any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, in addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be necessary for effecting the following actions (whether by merger, consolidation, recapitalization or otherwise) and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:

(1) any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (including any filing of a Certificate of Designation) to the extent any such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely affect any of the rights of the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock;

(2) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation or any governing document of the Corporation’s subsidiaries, to the extent any such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely affect any of the rights of the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock;

(3) any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, and any issuance of any Kayne Preferred Stock;

(4) any authorization, issuance or designation, whether by reclassification or otherwise, of any new class or series of Preferred Stock;

(5) any redemption, repurchase, payment or declaration of dividends or other distributions with respect to Common Stock or Preferred Stock other than dividends required pursuant to Subsection 3(a)(i) hereof or redemptions required by Subsection 3(e) hereof;

(6) any agreement by the Corporation or its stockholders with respect to, or the consummation of, any Deemed Liquidation Event in which the entire Kayne Preferred Liquidation Preference of all outstanding Kayne Preferred Stock is not paid in full in cash;

(7) the incurrence or guarantee, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of any indebtedness, or creating or permitting to exist any of lien, security interest or other encumbrance on the assets of the Corporation, other than senior bank debt from a reputable commercial bank and customary trade debt, in each case approved by the Board of Directors including the affirmative approval of at least one of the Kayne Directors;

(8) the approval of any budget of the Corporation, whether capital, operating or otherwise (a “Budget”), or amendment or modification to any Budget in any material respect, which for the purposes of this provision means to initiate deviations therefrom in excess of the greater of 15% in the aggregate and the greater of 10% with respect to the following general categories: general and administrative, net borrowing in such quarter, capital expenditures, asset sales and equity raising, provided that no modifications or increases may be made to any compensation amounts for persons specifically named in such Budget;

(9) any expenditure, investment, disposition or other action, or any agreement or commitment to undertake any expenditure, investment, disposition or other action, not contemplated by a Budget approved pursuant to Subsection 3(c)(i)(7) or in an amount in excess of the Budgeted amount in any material respect;

(10) any disposition of assets, in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, of greater than 25% of the Proved PV10 in any one year period, except as approved by the Board of Directors including the affirmative approval of at least one of the Kayne Directors, unless the entire proceeds thereof are used to redeem outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock;

(11) any material change to the nature of the Corporation’s business operations;

(12) Any action with respect to any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation that if taken by the Corporation would require approval to Subsection 3(c)(i)(1) through 3(c)(i)(11) above.

(d) Conversion Rights.

The holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock:

(i) Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Subsection 3(d), any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder at any time after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Mandatory Redemption Date, be converted into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Kayne Conversion Common Stock”). The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Kayne Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the “Kayne Preferred Conversion Rate” then in effect (determined as provided in Subsection 3(d)(ii)) by the number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock being converted.

(ii) Preferred Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock (the “Kayne Preferred Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Kayne Preferred Original Issue Price plus any cash dividends that were accrued and unpaid and compounded thereon by (B) eighty percent (80%) of (1) if the Common Stock is listed on a national exchange or quotation system (an “Exchange”) at the time of such conversion, the average of the daily closing prices for the Common Stock for the 20 consecutive full trading days on which such shares are actually traded on such Exchange (as reported by The Wall Street Journal, or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source) ending at the close of trading on the date of such conversion, or (2) if the Common Stock is not listed on an Exchange at the time of such conversion, the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of such conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, including the affirmative approval of at least one of the Kayne Directors).

(iii) Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Kayne Preferred Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Subsection 3(d) shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Kayne Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and shall promptly pay (i) at the election of the holder, in cash (at the price set forth in Subsection (d)(ii)(B)(1) or (d)(ii)(B)(2), as applicable) or in Common Stock (at the Kayne Preferred Conversion Rate), any accrued and unpaid dividends plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock being converted, and (ii) in cash (at the price set forth in Subsection (d)(ii)(B)(1) or (d)(ii)(B)(2), as applicable) the value of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder in such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

(iv) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Kayne Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Kayne Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Kayne Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Kayne Preferred Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Kayne Preferred Conversion Price.

(v) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3(d). The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid

(vi) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Kayne Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Kayne Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Kayne Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 3(d) with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3(d) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Kayne Preferred Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Subsection 3(d)(vi) shall be construed as preventing the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the DGCL in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Subsection 3(e)(vi) be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock in any such appraisal proceeding.

(vii) Notice of Record Date. In the event:

(1) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(2) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or

(3) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,

then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Kayne Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Kayne Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

(e) Redemption.

(i) Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation shall redeem all (and not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the Kayne Original Issue Price per share, plus any Kayne Preferred Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon (the “Redemption Price”), on April 30, 2018 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”).

(ii) Optional Redemption. At any time after April 30, 2014, the Corporation may elect by delivering written notice to the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock at least sixty (60) days prior to the desired date of redemption (the “Optional Redemption Date”; each of the Mandatory Redemption Date and the Optional Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”) to redeem all (and not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock for an amount in cash equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, to the extent that any of the Kayne Preferred Stock has been converted to Common Stock pursuant to Subsection 3(d), the Corporation shall not redeem any of the outstanding shares of Kayne Preferred Stock until such time as (x) Kayne Capital Advisors beneficially owns less than 50% of the aggregate shares of Kayne Conversion Common Stock issued pursuant to Subsection 3(d)(i) and (y) Kayne Capital Advisors has received an amount in cash (or the fair market value of other property, as determined by Kayne Capital Advisors, in good faith) as consideration for the sale of Kayne Conversion Common Stock greater than or equal to the Original Issue Price of all shares of Kayne Preferred Stock originally issued to Kayne Capital Advisors, plus all accrued and unpaid and all declared and unpaid interest thereon. For purposes of Clause (y) in the preceding sentence, shares of Kayne Conversion Common Stock transferred to a person or entity which is not an affiliate of the Transferor shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Kayne Capital Advisors.

(iii) Insufficient Funds. The Corporation shall apply all of its assets to any redemption set forth in Subsections 3(e)(i) and 3(e)(ii), and to no other corporate purpose from and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. If Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all shares of Kayne Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation shall (A) ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law and (B) take any action necessary or appropriate, to the extent permissible under applicable law, to remove as promptly as practicable any impediments to its ability to redeem the total number of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock required to be so redeemed, including, without limitation, (1) reducing the stated capital of the Corporation or causing a revaluation of the assets of the Corporation under Section 154 of the DGCL to create sufficient surplus to make such redemption and (2) incurring indebtedness necessary to make such redemption. The shares of Kayne Preferred Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein.

(iv) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Kayne Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.

(v) Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred.

DIRECTORS

Section 1. General Powers. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or this Certificate of Incorporation, in each case as the same may be amended and supplemented, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.

Section 2. Number of Directors. The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board shall be as determined from time to time solely by a majority of the Board; provided, that in no event shall the total number of directors constituting the entire Board be less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15). The number of directors on the Board shall initially be seven (7).

Section 3. Classes of Directors; Term of Office.

(a) For so long as any shares of Kayne Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Kayne Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Board of Directors (the “Kayne Directors”) at each meeting or pursuant to each written consent of the Corporation’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such director. The Kayne Directors may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of the shares of Kayne Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. Any person serving as a Kayne Director shall, automatically and without any further action by the Board of Directors or stockholders of the Corporation, cease to be qualified to serve as, and cease to be a director of, the Corporation when no shares of Kayne Preferred Stock are outstanding.

(b) The holders of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect all remaining members of the Board of Directors that are up for election (the “Common Directors”) at each meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors.

(c) If the holders of shares of Kayne Preferred Stock fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to Subsection 3(a), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class.

Section 4. The Common Directors. The Common Directors shall be and are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated: Class I, Class II and Class III. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of Common Directors, the number of Common Directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Each Common Director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, that each director initially appointed to Class I shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2015; each director initially appointed to Class II shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2016; and each director initially appointed to Class III shall serve for a term expiring at the Corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2017; provided, further, that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of his successor and be subject to his earlier death, resignation or removal.

The initial members of the Board of Directors, and the class to which each such director belongs, shall be as set forth in Annex I to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 27, 2013, by and among Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II, Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation, HPAC Merger Sub, Inc., SME Merger Sub, LLC, and Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Holdings, LLC (the “Merger Agreement”).

In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors (other than Preferred Stock Directors), the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible.

Section 5. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), a majority of the total number of directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board, but in no event shall less than one-third of the directors constitute a quorum. A majority of the directors present (though less than such quorum) may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

Section 6. Manner of Acting. Every act or decision done or made by the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board, unless the act of a greater number is required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, in each case as the same may be amended and supplemented.

Section 7. Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, any vacancy or newly created directorships in the Board, however occurring, shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, except as otherwise provided by law, and shall not be filled by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that only the holders of the Kayne Preferred Stock, in accordance with Section 3(a), shall be entitled to fill a vacancy in the seats held by the Kayne Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, subject to the election and qualification of a successor and to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

If any applicable provision of the DGCL expressly confers power on stockholders to fill such a directorship at a special meeting of stockholders, such a directorship may be filled at such meeting only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors.

Section 8. Removal of Common Directors and Resignation of Directors. Common Directors may be removed only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the votes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors. A director may resign at any time by filing his written resignation with the secretary of the Corporation.

(b) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, and at what times and places, and under what conditions and regulations, the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to inspection of stockholders; and, except as so determined or as expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or in any Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Corporation other than such rights as may be conferred by applicable law.

ARTICLE VII

ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent or consents in writing by stockholders.

ARTICLE VIII

SPECIAL MEETINGS; WRITTEN BALLOT

Any repeal or amendment or modification of this Article IX by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article IX, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only, and will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of any director of the Corporation at the time of such repeal or amendment or modification or adoption of such inconsistent provision. If any provision of the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION; ADVANCEMENT

(a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise 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, at any time during which this Certificate of Incorporation is in effect (whether or not such person continues to serve in such capacity at the time any indemnification or payment of expenses pursuant hereto is sought or at the time any proceeding relating thereto exists or is brought), a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was at any such time serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent, shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be) indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation (and any successor of the Corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Article X, 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. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article X shall include the right, without the need for any action by the Board, to be paid by the Corporation (and any successor of the Corporation by merger or otherwise) the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, the “undertaking”) by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal (a “final disposition”) that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article X or otherwise. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article X shall be contract rights between the Corporation and each indemnitee to whom such rights are extended that vest at the commencement of such person’s service to or at the request of the Corporation and all such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or ceased to serve at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as described herein, and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(b) To obtain indemnification under this Article X, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (b), a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows if there is a dispute between the Corporation and the claimant with respect to the claimant’s rights to indemnification hereunder: (i) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if no request is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (C) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by a majority of the stockholders of the Corporation by Independent Counsel. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a “Change of Control” as defined in the Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation 2014 Performance Incentive Plan in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the Board. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.

(c) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Article X has been received by the Corporation (except in the case of a claim for advancement of expenses, for which the applicable period is twenty (20) days), 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 that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed or that the claimant is not entitled to the requested advancement of expenses, but (except where the required undertaking, if any, has not been tendered to the Corporation) the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, Independent Counsel or 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, Independent Counsel or 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.

(d) If a determination shall have been made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Article X that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Article X.

(e) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Article X that the procedures and presumptions of this Article X are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article X.

(f) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article X: (i) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise and (ii) cannot be terminated by the Corporation, the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination. Any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of this Article X that in any way diminishes, limits, restricts, adversely affects or eliminates any right of an indemnitee or his or her successors to indemnification, advancement of expenses or otherwise shall be prospective only and shall not, without the written consent of the indemnitee, in any way diminish, limit, restrict, adversely affect or eliminate any such right with respect to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission then or previously existing, or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission.

(g) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or 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. To the extent that the Corporation maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such current or former director or officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights to indemnification have been granted as provided in paragraph (h) of this Article X, shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such current or former director, officer, employee or agent.

(h) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any current or former employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of current or former directors and officers of the Corporation.

(i) If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

(j) For purposes of this Article X:

(i) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant.

(ii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporate law and shall include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this Article X.

(k) Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this Article X shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.

(f) Any purported transfer of Restricted Shares (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the original issuance of such shares by the Corporation), shall be void and ineffective, and, to the extent that the Corporation knows of any such purported transfer, neither the Corporation nor its transfer agent (if any) shall register such purported transfer on the stock transfer records of the Corporation and neither the Corporation nor its transfer agent (if any) shall recognize the purported transferee thereof as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever except to the extent necessary to effect any remedy available to the Corporation under this Article XIV. In no event shall any such registration or recognition make such purported transfer effective unless the Board shall have expressly and specifically authorized the same.

SECTION 2.2 Special Meeting. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock of the Corporation as to dividends or upon liquidation (“Preferred Stock”) with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board or by a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the “Whole Board”) pursuant to a resolution approved by the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the times provided in the DGCL. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

SECTION 2.7 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(1) At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and only other business shall be considered or conducted, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations to be properly made at an annual meeting, and proposals of other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Bylaw and at the time of the annual meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw as to such business or nomination; clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(2) Without qualification or limitation, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to paragraph (A)(1)(c) of this Bylaw, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. In addition, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting, any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice (whether given pursuant to this paragraph (A)(2) or paragraph (B)) to the Secretary must: (a) set forth, as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such beneficial owner, if any, and of their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith, (ii) (A) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder, such beneficial owner, and of their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, any derivative or synthetic arrangement having the characteristics of a long position in any class or series of shares of the Corporation, or any contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions designed to produce economic benefits and risks that correspond substantially to the ownership of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, including due to the fact that the value of such contract, derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions is determined by reference to the price, value or volatility of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument, contract or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise, through the delivery of cash or other property, or otherwise, and without regard of whether the stockholder of record, the beneficial owner, if any, or any affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith, may have entered into transactions that hedge or mitigate the economic effect of such instrument, contract or right (any of the foregoing, a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder, the beneficial owner,

if any, or any affiliates or associates or others acting in concert therewith and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, including any repurchase or similar so-called “stock borrowing” agreement or arrangement, engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such stockholder, the purpose or effect of which is to mitigate loss to, reduce the economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) of any class or series of the shares of the Corporation by, manage the risk of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder with respect to any class or series of the shares of the Corporation, or which provides, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the price or value of any security of the Corporation (any of the foregoing, a “Short Interest”), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner of such general or limited partnership, (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such stockholder’s immediate family sharing the same household, (H) any significant equity interests or any Derivative Instruments or Short Interests in any principal competitor of the Corporation held by such stockholder, and (I) any direct or indirect interest of such stockholder in any contract with the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any principal competitor of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), and (iii) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement and form of proxy or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; (c) set forth, as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the Board of Directors (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to

Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and (d) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.8 of these Bylaws. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Bylaw to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting or otherwise by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Bylaw and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Bylaw as to such nomination. The immediately preceding sentence shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting) before a special meeting of stockholders. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Bylaw with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.8 of this Bylaw) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bylaw and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Bylaw, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to make a nomination or present a proposal of other business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Bylaw, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(2) For purposes of this Bylaw, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bylaw, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Bylaw; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to paragraph (A)(1)(c) or paragraph (B) of this Bylaw. Nothing in this Bylaw shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, nothing in these Bylaws shall be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Corporation’s proxy statement any nomination of director or directors or any other business proposal.

SECTION 2.8 Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement. To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.7 of these Bylaws) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein and (C) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation.

SECTION 2.9 Procedure for Election of Directors; Required Vote. Election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present shall elect directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

SECTION 2.10 Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls. The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law.

The Chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting.

SECTION 2.11 Action Without Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent or electronic transmission.

SECTION 2.12 Remote Meetings. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:

(A) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(B) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided, that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

In the case of any annual meeting of stockholders or any special meeting of stockholders called upon order of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communications as authorized by this Section 2.12.

ARTICLE III.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 3.1 General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authorities by these Bylaws expressly conferred upon them, the Board of Directors may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 3.2 Number, Tenure and Qualifications. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. Commencing with the date of these Bylaws, the directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances, shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of the third class to expire at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the 2015 annual meeting, (i) directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election, with each director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, and (ii) if authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, directors may be elected to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors, regardless of how such vacancy shall have been created.

SECTION 3.3 Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without other notice than this Bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors may, by resolution, provide the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

SECTION 3.4 Special Meetings. Subject to the notice requirements in Section 3.5, special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be called at the request of the Chairman of the Board or a majority of the Board of Directors then in office. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix the place and time of the meetings.

SECTION 3.5 Notice. Notice of any special meeting of directors shall be given to each director at his or her business or residence in writing by hand delivery, first-class or overnight mail or courier service, facsimile or electronic transmission, or orally by telephone. If mailed by first-class mail, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when deposited in the United States mails so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid, at least five (5) days before such meeting. If by overnight mail or courier service, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when the notice is delivered to the overnight mail or courier service company at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting. If by facsimile or electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when the notice is transmitted at least twelve (12) hours before such meeting. If by telephone or by hand delivery, the notice shall be given at least twelve (12) hours prior to the time set for the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice of such meeting, except for amendments to these Bylaws, as provided under Section 8.1. A meeting may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting in accordance with Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

SECTION 3.6 Action by Consent of Board of Directors. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

SECTION 3.7 Conference Telephone Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

SECTION 3.8 Quorum. A majority of the members of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting without further notice. The vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall require the vote of a greater number. The directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 3.9 Vacancies. Subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, and unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines, vacancies resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of authorized directors constituting the Whole Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

SECTION 3.10 Executive and Other Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, designate an Executive Committee to exercise, subject to applicable provisions of law, all the powers of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation when the Board is not in session, including without limitation the power to declare dividends, to authorize the issuance of the Corporation’s capital stock and to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL, and may, by resolution similarly adopted, designate one or more other committees. The Executive Committee and each such other committee shall consist of two or more directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, other than the Executive Committee (the powers of which are expressly provided for herein), may to the extent permitted by law exercise such powers and shall have such responsibilities as shall be specified in the designating resolution. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Each committee shall keep written minutes of its proceedings and shall report such proceedings to the Board when required.

A majority of any committee may determine its action and fix the time and place of its meetings, unless the Board shall otherwise provide. Notice of such meetings shall be given to each member of the committee in the manner provided for in Section 3.5 of these Bylaws. The Board shall have power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the membership of, or to dissolve any such committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Board from appointing one or more committees consisting in whole or in part of persons who are not directors of the Corporation; provided, however, that no such committee shall have or may exercise any authority of the Board.

SECTION 3.11 Records. The Board of Directors shall cause to be kept a record containing the minutes of the proceedings of the meetings of the Board and of the stockholders, appropriate stock books and registers and such books of records and accounts as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Corporation.

The shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, in the case of certificated shares of stock, by the holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for at least the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require; and, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of the shares or by such person’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bylaws, at all times that the Corporation’s stock is listed on a stock exchange, the shares of the stock of the Corporation shall comply with all direct registration system eligibility requirements established by such exchange, including any requirement that shares of the Corporation’s stock be eligible for issue in book-entry form.

Terms of Registration Rights Agreement

The following is a description of certain material terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”) with respect to the securities of Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation (“Parent”). Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Hyde Park Acquisition Corp. II (“Hyde Park”), Parent, HPAC Merger Sub, Inc., SME Merger Sub, LLC and Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Holdings, LLC.

Parties and Registrable Securities

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Fund IV and its affiliates and transferees (“Kayne”); holders of the outstanding shares of Hyde Park Common Stock issued prior to the consummation of Hyde Park’s initial public offering (the “Initial Shares”) and their transferees (such holders, the “Initial Shareholders”); and holders of 693,750 shares of Hyde Park Common Stock privately placed simultaneously with Hyde Park’s initial public offering (the “Sponsors’ Shares”) and their transferees (such holders, the “Sponsor Shareholders”). Kayne, the Initial Shareholders and the Sponsor Shareholders shall collectively be referred to as the “Investors” and their respective shares, the “Registrable Securities”.

As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when: (a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement; (b) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates for them not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by Parent and subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (c) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; or (d) the Registrable Securities have been sold in a public sale in accordance with Rule 144. The Company shall take such action as any Investor may reasonably request to the extent required to enable such holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities and shares of Kayne Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent) without registration pursuant to Rule 144.

Demand Registration Rights:

At any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date of the Mergers, holders of Registrable Securities representing 5% (the “Required Holders”) or more of the outstanding securities of Parent may make a written demand for registration of the resale (in an underwritten offering or otherwise, as determined by the Required Holders) of all or part of such securities (a “Demand Registration”) on such form of registration statement as the offering shall be eligible and the Required Holders shall demand.

	Each Investor shall be entitled to two (2) Demand Registrations. In the event of a Demand Registration, Parent must notify all Investors of such Demand Registration and any Investors who wish to include their Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration must notify the Parent within 15 days. Parent may defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty days if failure to do so would be materially detrimental to Parent; provided that Parent will only be entitled to defer a Demand Registration once during any twelve consecutive month period. Parent will not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 180 days after the effective date of a previous registration in which the holders of Registrable Securities were able to register. Cutbacks required by the underwriters shall be applied on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares initially proposed for inclusion in the offering.
Piggyback Registration Rights:	Other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with an employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Parent’s existing shareholders, (iii) for a convertible debt offering, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, each Investor shall be entitled to piggyback registration rights on public offerings of the Parent’s stock pursuant to customary terms and conditions.
Short Form (S-3) Registration Rights:	Separate and apart from the Demand Registration rights, if Parent is eligible to file a short form registration statement on Form S-3, holders may demand that Parent file the S-3 (a “Form S-3 Registration”), provided that such holders propose to register at least $10 million of Registrable Securities pursuant to such S-3. Even if Parent is eligible to file a Form S-3, if Parent decides on a different registered offering, it may prohibit use of the Form S-3 within 7 days before or 90 days after the effective date of such registration. In the event of a Form S-3 Registration, Parent must notify all Investors of such Form S-3 Registration and any Investors who wish to include their Registrable Securities in the Form S-3 Registration must notify the Parent within 15 days.

Member Expenses:	Parent must bear all costs for any Demand or Piggyback Registration, except that (1) the selling holders must pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions and (2) in an underwritten offering, selling stockholders and Parent must bear expenses of the Underwriter(s) pro rata to the amount of shares sold by each in the offering.
Indemnification and Lock-up:	The Agreement shall provide for customary indemnification and lock-up provisions.
Additional Registration Rights for shares acquired in conversion of Kayne Preferred Stock after Default:	If the Kayne Preferred Stock is not redeemed timely, then at any time and from time to time after any Kayne Preferred Stock has been converted into Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”), Kayne, its affiliates and transferees may make up to three written demands for registration of all or part of such Conversion Shares (and any other shares of Common Stock owned by Kayne, its affiliates and transferees (a “Kayne Demand Registration”). The other provisions hereof applicable to a Demand Registration shall also apply with respect to each such Kayne Demand Registration except that: (i) Neither Parent nor any other Investor shall have the right to participate in any Kayne Demand Registration without Kayne’s consent; (ii) the 180 day waiting period shall not apply; (iii) No cutbacks shall be applied to any Kayne Demand Registration; (iv) no other Investor shall have piggyback rights; (v) the dollar amount and time limitations applicable to S-3 Registration Rights shall not apply; and (v) lock up provisions shall not apply.
Private Equity Financing	Parent and the Investors will use their reasonable best efforts to modify the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement to accommodate any registration rights to be granted in connection with the Private Equity Financing (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement).
