holders of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock will be deemed to have been treated equally, identically, and ratably, on a per share basis if such holders receive different classes or series of securities on an equal
per share basis, provided that such different classes or series of securities do not differ in any respect other than their relative voting rights, with holders of Class B common stock receiving the class or series of securities having higher
relative voting rights as compared to, and proportional with the existing relative voting rights of, the holders of Class A common stock, and holders of Class A common stock receiving securities of a class or series having lesser relative voting
rights as compared to, and proportional with the existing relative voting rights of, the holders of Class B common stock, and holders of Class C common stock receiving securities of a class or series having no voting rights. In determining whether
shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock are treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, the following will not be considered: (i) any consideration to be paid to or received by a holder of
common stock pursuant to any indemnification, bona fide employment, consulting, severance, or similar services arrangement and (ii) any consideration to be paid to or received by a holder of common stock pursuant to any negotiated agreement between
such holder (or any affiliate thereof) with any counterparty (or affiliate thereof) to such merger, consolidation, or other transaction wherein such holder (or affiliate thereof) is contributing, selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of
shares of our capital stock to such counterparty (or affiliate thereof), or such shares are being converted or exchanged, as part of a “rollover” or similar transaction in connection with such merger, consolidation, or other transaction.
