Section 4.5 No Redemption; Cancellation. The Common Stock is not redeemable. For each Class B Unit (as defined below) (other than a Class B Unit issued upon conversion of a Class M Unit of ER Holdings (as defined below)) exchanged by the Class B Unit Holder (as defined below) for a share of Class A Common Stock (or, at the Corporation’s election in its sole discretion, payment of the cash equivalent in respect thereof) on and subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Enchanted Rock Holdings, LLC (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”), one share of Class B Common Stock held by such Class B Unit Holder shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any Class B Unit Holder be transferred to the Corporation for no consideration and shall be retired and restored to the status of an authorized but unissued share of Class B Common Stock of the Corporation.

Each holder of Class B Units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any permitted transferee of a Class B Unit in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement) is referred to herein as a “Class B Unit Holder.”
(b) Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the LLC Agreement, each Class B Unit Holder has the right to surrender a Class B Unit to ER Holdings, together with the surrender of one share of Class B Common Stock held by such Class B Unit Holder to the Corporation, in exchange for the issuance of one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock (or, at the Corporation’s election in its sole discretion, payment of the cash equivalent in respect thereof) on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, including Section 4.5 above, and in the LLC Agreement.

Section 4.8 Retirement of Class B Common Stock. If any outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall cease to be held by a Class B Unit Holder holding an equal number of Class B Units, then such number of shares of Class B Common Stock for which the Class B Unit Holder does not hold an equal number of Class B Units shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any Class B Unit Holder be transferred to the Corporation for no consideration and upon such transfer shall be automatically retired and restored to the status of an authorized but unissued share of Class B Common Stock of the Corporation.
Section 4.9 Further Issuances of Class B Common Stock. No shares of Class B Common Stock shall be issued at any time after the completion of the Corporation’s initial public offering, except (a) to one or more new or existing members of ER Holdings to whom Class B Units are also issued to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class B Units and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such member of ER Holdings, (b) to a Class B Unit Holder in a number necessary to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class B Units and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such Class B Unit Holder or (c) for the issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with a stock split, reclassification, subdivision, combination or similar transaction that affects proportionately all outstanding shares of Common Stock and is in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 4.10 Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exchange(s) of Class B Units, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the exchange(s) of all outstanding Class B Units for shares of Class A Common Stock.
Section 4.11 Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, whether by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal or waive Sections 4.7 through 4.12 of this Article IV (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith), without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any other vote required by the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”).
Section 4.12 Reclassifications, Mergers and Other Transactions.
(a) If the Corporation in any manner subdivides, combines or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other such class shall, concurrently therewith, be subdivided, combined or reclassified in the same proportion and manner such that the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification is preserved, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, each of (i) and (ii) voting as separate classes. In the event of any such subdivision, combination or reclassification, the Corporation shall, concurrently therewith, cause ER Holdings to make corresponding changes to the Class A Units and Class B Units to give effect to such subdivision, combination or reclassification.
4
(b) Maintenance.
(i) The Corporation shall undertake all actions, including, without limitation, a reclassification, dividend, subdivision, combination or recapitalization, with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock necessary to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class A Units owned by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one ratio, (A) shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to any equity incentive plan adopted by the Corporation from time to time, that have not vested thereunder, (B) treasury stock and (C) shares of Class A Common Stock that relate to Preferred Stock or other debt or equity securities (including, without limitation, warrants, options and rights) issued by the Corporation that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock referred to in clauses (A) through (C) of the foregoing sentence are referred to herein as the “Excluded Class A Common Stock.”
(ii) The Corporation shall undertake all actions, including, without limitation, a reclassification, dividend, subdivision, combination or recapitalization, with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock necessary to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between the number of Class B Units owned by all Class B Unit Holders and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock owned by all holders of Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that in connection with the conversion of Class M Units into Class B Units pursuant to the LLC Agreement, (A) no issuance of Class B Common Stock shall be required solely as a result of such conversion and (B) such Class B Units shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the one-to-one ratio under this Section 4.12(b)(ii).
(iii) The Corporation shall not issue, transfer, dispose from its treasury, or repurchase shares of Class A Common Stock unless in connection with any such issuance, transfer, disposition or repurchase the Corporation takes or authorizes all requisite action such that, after giving effect to such issuance, transfer, disposition or repurchase, the number of Class A Units owned by the Corporation will equal on a one-for-one basis the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, disregarding, for purposes of maintaining the one-to-one ratio, the Excluded Class A Common Stock.
(iv) The Corporation shall not consolidate, merge, combine, convert or consummate any other transaction in which shares of Class A Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into other stock or securities, or the right to receive cash and/or any other property, unless in connection with any such consolidation, merger, combination, conversion or other transaction, each share of Class B Common Stock, together with one Class B Unit, shall be entitled to be exchanged for or converted into the same kind and amount of stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, as the case may be, that the Class B Unit Holder would have been entitled to receive had such share of Class B Common Stock, together with one Class B Unit, been exchanged into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the LLC Agreement immediately before such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction (assuming for purposes of this determination that the Class B Unit Holder was entitled to make such exchange); provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.12(b) shall not apply to any action or transaction (including any consolidation, merger or combination) approved by (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, each of (i) and (ii) voting as separate classes.

(a) Except as may be otherwise provided with respect to directors elected by the separate vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof (including any Preferred Stock Designation) (the “Preferred Stock Directors”), the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III.
