| 5 |
(b) Election; Term. Before the Voting Threshold Date, subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, elections of the members of the Board shall be held annually at the annual meeting of stockholders and each member of the Board shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Elections of the members of the Board need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
(c) Classified Board. Subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, from and after the Voting Threshold Date, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”) provided, however, that such classification will not take effect if, prior to the time it would otherwise become effective, our Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, elects not to effect such classification (the “Opt-Out Election”). The Opt-Out Election may be exercised only once, and if the Board does not make the Opt-Out Election prior to the time the Classified Board would otherwise become effective, the right to make the Opt-Out Election shall expire and be of no further force or effect, and the Classified Board shall become effective in accordance with the terms of this provision without any further action by the Board. The Board may assign members of the Board in office immediately prior to the Classified Board becoming effective to the several classes of the Classified Board, which assignments shall become effective at the same time the Classified Board becomes effective. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by a majority of the Board, with the number of directors in each class to be divided as nearly equal as reasonably possible. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the date on which the Classified Board becomes effective, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the date on which the Classified Board becomes effective, and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the date on which the Classified Board becomes effective. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the date on which the Classified Board becomes effective, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class 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. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. If the number of directors is thereafter changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
| 6 |
(d) Removal of Directors. Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE VII to the contrary, subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to directors elected thereby, before the Voting Threshold Date, directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the election of the directors. After the Voting Threshold Date, no director may be removed except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
(e) Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement and the terms, if any, of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock, (i) any vacancy on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, provided that a quorum is present, and (ii) any other vacancy occurring on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. To the extent applicable, any director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors of such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class. Any director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of such director’s predecessor.
(f) Director Authority. In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore 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, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.
(g) Written Ballot. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
| 7 |
(h) Plurality Voting. The Bylaws shall set forth the vote required for the election of directors. If not set forth in the Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in such election.
ARTICLE VIII

No director or Officer (as defined below) shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or Officer, except for liability of: (i) a director or Officer for any breach of the director’s or Officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (ii) a director or Officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL; (iv) a director or Officer for any transaction from which the director or Officer derived an improper personal benefit or (v) an Officer in any action by or in the right of the Corporation.

(b) Right to Indemnification.
(i) The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, as now or hereafter in effect, any director or Officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or Officer, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or Officer, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or Officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or Officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred by this ARTICLE VIII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or Officer receiving advancement to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this ARTICLE VIII.
| 8 |
(ii) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this ARTICLE VIII to directors and Officers of the Corporation.
(iii) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(c) Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, Officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under applicable law.
(d) Preservation of Rights. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this ARTICLE VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE VIII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE VIII, in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or Proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this ARTICLE VIII, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
ARTICLE IX
STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS
(a) Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board shall determine.
(b) Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or a majority of the directors then in office, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of the stockholders is hereby specifically denied. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
| 9 |
(c) Action by Written Consent. Subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, for so long as the Permira Stockholder and the AFT Stockholder collectively own (directly and indirectly) at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action that is required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected by consent in lieu of a meeting. If the Permira Stockholder and the AFT Stockholder no longer beneficially own (directly or indirectly) at least 50% of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in lieu of a meeting.
(d) Location of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books and records of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the DGCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board or in the Bylaws.
| 10 |
ARTICLE X
BYLAWS
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s Bylaws. Subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s Bylaws. The Corporation’s Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.
ARTICLE XI
EXCLUSIVE FORUM
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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 duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (each, as in effect from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, the foregoing provision shall not apply to (a) any action brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, or (b) any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act and provided further, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding shall be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein. Unless the Corporation gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing, otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this ARTICLE XI; however, such person or entity cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this ARTICLE XI with respect to any current or future actions or claims.
| 11 |
ARTICLE XII
AMENDMENTS
Subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation’s Bylaws or the DGCL, and all rights herein conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to such reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and in addition to any other vote that may be required by law), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with the purpose and intent of ARTICLES V, VII, ARTICLE VIII, ARTICLE IX, ARTICLE X, ARTICLE XI, ARTICLE XIII, ARTICLE XIV or this ARTICLE XII (or any applicable definitions from ARTICLE XV) of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(iii) at or subsequent to such time, the Business Combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-third percent (66 2/3%) of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation which is not owned by the Interested Stockholder.

(3) has any agreement, arrangement, or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in clause (ii) of paragraph (2) above), or disposing of such stock with any other Person that beneficially owns, or whose Affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such stock.

In recognition and anticipation that (i) certain directors, principals, officers, employees and/or other representatives of the Permira Stockholder may serve as directors, officers or agents of the Corporation (ii) the Permira Stockholder may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, and (iii) members of the Board who are not employees of the Corporation (“Non-Employee Directors”) and their respective Affiliates (as defined below) may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions of this ARTICLE XIV are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve the Permira Stockholder, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.
(b) Competition and Corporate Opportunities; Renouncement. None of (i) Permira Stockholder or (ii) any Non-Employee Director or such person’s Affiliates (such Persons identified in (i) and (ii) above being referred to, collectively, as “Exempt Persons” and, individually, as an “Exempt Person”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Exempt Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Exempt Person engages in any such activities; this item (2) shall not absolve such Exempt Person of liability for any misuse or disclosure of the Corporation’s confidential information in connection with such activities.

| 16 |
(c) Allocation of Corporate Opportunities. The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Exempt Person (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation) if such opportunity is solely created or developed by an Exempt Person in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section (b) of this ARTICLE XIV shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.
(d) Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities.
