CAPITAL STOCK

 

Section 1. Authorized Stock. The total number of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is 510,000,000, of which 500,000,000 shall be shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock), and 10,000,000 shall be shares of Preferred Stock, at a par value of $0.0001 per share (Preferred Stock).

 

Section 2. Preferred Stock. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is hereby authorized at any time, and from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation (except as otherwise provided in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers (including voting powers, if any), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, including but not limited to the fixing or alteration of the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices, and the liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series or shares of Preferred Stock. Each such series of Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, as shall be authorized by the Board and stated in the applicable Preferred Stock Designation. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may be different from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the authorization providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock, no vote of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock so authorized in accordance with this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock, the Board may, by resolution or resolutions, increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of such series and, if the number of shares of such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The Corporation shall, from time to time and in accordance with applicable law, increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for issuance shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of any series of Preferred Stock that, as provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, Section 2, is otherwise convertible into Common Stock.

Section 3. Common Stock.

 

(a) Voting: Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or the relevant Preferred Stock Designation of any class or series of Preferred Stock or required by law, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by law, each holder of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each share of Common Stock held thereby of record on the books of the Corporation for the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. Except as otherwise required by law, shares of Common Stock shall not entitle the holders thereof to vote on any amendment to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including to a Preferred Stock Designation) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of solely one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote on such amendment pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including a Preferred Stock Designation) or pursuant to the DGCL, or if no vote of stockholders is required pursuant to the DGCL.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

 

Section 1.

 

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

 

(b) Number of Directors: Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors and subject to the applicable requirements of the Stockholders Agreement dated January 21, 2021, by and among the Corporation and certain stockholders of the Corporation from time to time party thereto (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Stockholders Agreement”), the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board.

 

(c) Classified Board Structure; Election of Directors: Except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof relating to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock to separately elect additional directors, which additional directors are not required to be classified pursuant to the terms of such series of Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Directors”) and subject to the applicable requirements of the Stockholders Agreement, the Board shall be and is divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class will consist, as nearly as possible, of a number of directors equal to one-third (1/3) of the total number of members of the Board (other than the Preferred Stock Directors, if any) authorized as provided in Article V, Section 1(b) hereof. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the time the classification of the Board becomes effective pursuant to this Article V, Section 1(c). The term of office of the initial Class I directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2021; the term of office of the initial Class II directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2022; and the term of office of the initial Class III directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2023. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the successors of that class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected to hold office in accordance with this Article V, Section 1(c) for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. The directors of each class will hold office until the expiration of the term of such class and until their respective successors are elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

(d) Written Ballot Not Required: Unless and except to the extent that the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be written by ballot.

(e) Removal: Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any director, or the entire Board, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), represented in person or by proxy at a meeting for the election of directors duly called pursuant to the Bylaws.

 

(f) Vacancies: Subject to applicable law, the rights of the holders of shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, disability, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of a director or from any other cause, or any newly created directorships that increase the number of directors shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the class to which the director shall have been appointed and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes as determined by a majority of the Board so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship shall hold office for the remaining term of that class until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified (or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal), but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

(g) In addition to the powers and authority herein or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the DGCL, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws; providedhowever, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted shall invalidate any prior act of the directors that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

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 that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

 

(c) Without limiting the foregoing renunciation in Section 1(a) hereof, the Corporation on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries (i) acknowledges that the Stockholder Parties are in the business of making investments in, and have or may have investments in, other businesses that may be similar to and that may compete with the businesses of the Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Competing Businesses”) and (b) agrees that the Stockholder Parties shall have the unfettered right to make investments in or have relationships with other Competing Businesses independent of their investments in the Corporation.

(d) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted, to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

 

(d) Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article VIII, or the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an Identified Person with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption.
