 provision that is of similar effect, it exempts from its scope the Ares Funds, any of their affiliates and certain of their respective direct or indirect transferees as described under “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Statute” in the accompanying prospectus. Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock. The impact of these provisions may be intensified by other obligations, such as those found in our Stockholders Agreement. See “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Statute” in the accompanying prospectus. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law:

| • |     | any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; |

| • |     | any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; |

| • |     | any action asserting a claim against us arising under the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; 
 and                                                                                                             |

| • |     | any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal-affairs doctrine. |

This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the exclusive-forum provisions in our certificate of incorporation. The exclusive-forum provisions also provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. will be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a S-11

cause of action arising under the Securities Act. However, this provision is subject to final adjudication regarding its enforceability, the outcome of which is substantially uncertain. For
example, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware has
