To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section (b) of this Article THIRTEENTH.

(b)          The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any non-employee director if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section (a) of this Article THIRTEENTH shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.

 -7- 

 

 

(c)          A corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is not financially able to undertake, or (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business.

 

(d)          For purposes of this Article THIRTEENTH, “Affiliate” shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of GS or TPG.

 

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

 

Fourteenth.  Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the exclusive forum for any action under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act shall be either the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the district court for the District of Delaware. This exclusive forum provision will not apply to claims which are vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, for which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or, in the case of an action under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, for which neither the Court of Chancery nor the federal district court for the District of Delaware has subject matter jurisdiction.
