These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of Pubco or its management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Pubco Board and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of Pubco. These provisions are designed to reduce Pubco’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are 304

also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for Pubco Common
Stock and, as a consequence, may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of Pubco Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.
