 the Combined Company (as any of the foregoing may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Chancery Court or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. As a result, any action brought by any Combined Company stockholders with regard to any of these matters will need to be filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and cannot be filed in any other jurisdiction; provided that, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter will also provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Nothing in the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws will preclude stockholders that assert claims under the Exchange Act from bringing such claims in state or federal court, subject to applicable law. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act, and in any event, Combined Company stockholders cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Combined Company or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision that will be contained in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Combined Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. Anti-takeover provisions in the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws of the Combined Company, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could delay or prevent a change of control. Certain provisions of the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws of the Combined Company could discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders might consider to be in their best interests. These documents will include provisions that, among other things: •provide for a classified board of directors, as a result of which the Combined Company Board will initially be divided into three classes, with each class serving for staggered three -yearterms; 62 •permit directors to be removed
