For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of “owner” below but shall not include any other unissued stock of the Corporation which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

ARTICLE XIV
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:
(a)any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation;
(b)any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or its stockholders;
(c)any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (in each case, as they may be amended from time to time);
(d)any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine;
9



(e)any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (including any right, obligation or remedy under this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation); or
(f)any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.
This Article XIV shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Delaware of the enforceability of this provision. Any person or entity that acquires 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 XIV.
ARTICLE XV
The Corporation shall indemnify its directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Delaware law, as now or in effect after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation. Such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part of a proceeding) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part of such proceeding) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred by this Article XV 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. To the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to officers, employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article XV to the Board of Directors. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article XV shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or acquire under the Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Any repeal or modification of this Article XV by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
