&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Until the election of directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023, the directors of the Corporation, other than any directors elected by the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article Sixth hereof (the "Preferred Stock Directors"), shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The term of office for the Class II directors elected at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders shall expire at the 2021 annual meeting; the term of office for the Class III directors elected at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders shall expire at the 2022 annual meeting; and the term of office for the Class I directors elected at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders shall expire at the 2023 annual meeting, with directors of each class to hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified; provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Commencing at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to the Class whose terms expire at each annual meeting of stockholders shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) Commencing with the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the classification of the directors shall terminate and all directors shall be elected annually and serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) Vacancies in the Board and newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors (other than Preferred Stock Directors) may be filled as provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect at the time in question). No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Board Size</u>. Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors and the then-applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement among the Corporation and certain of its stockholders, dated as of October 24, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the "<u>Stockholders Agreement</u>"), the precise number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed, and may be altered from time to time, exclusively by a Board resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Removal of Directors</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, (i) until the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, a director may be removed only for cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least three-quarters of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at any duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose, and (ii) from and after the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, a director may be removed, either for or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at any duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) For purposes of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, "cause" shall mean (i) a final conviction (without any further right of appeal) of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (ii) willful misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious economically to the Corporation. For purposes of this definition of "cause," no act, or failure to act, by a director shall be considered "willful" unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or failure to act was in the best interest of the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation. "Cause" shall not exist unless and until the Corporation has delivered to the director a written notice of the director's failure to act that constitutes "cause" and, if cure is possible, such director shall not have cured such act or omission within ninety (90) days after the delivery of such notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Board Vacancies</u>. Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, and except as otherwise provided by law, any newly-created directorship on the Board that results from an increase in the number of directors, or any vacancy in the Board that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of authorized directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Stockholder Action by Written Consent</u>. Until the Trigger Date, any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are: (i) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted (but not less than the minimum number of votes otherwise prescribed by law) and (ii) delivered to the Corporation by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded within 60 days of the earliest dated valid consent so delivered to the Corporation. From and after the Trigger Date, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken only upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders. The Bylaws of the Corporation may establish procedures regulating the submission by stockholders of nominations and proposals for consideration at meetings of stockholders of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Special Meetings</u>. Subject to the special rights of any series of Preferred Stock, a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Board pursuant to a resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exists any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption); <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, until the Trigger Date, a special meeting of the stockholders shall also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. From and after the Trigger Date, a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Board pursuant to a resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exists any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) and the stockholders of the Corporation shall not have the power to call a special meeting of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL, the business to come before, and be conducted at, a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be limited exclusively to the business set forth in the Corporation's notice of meeting (and any supplement thereof), and the individual or group calling such meeting shall have exclusive authority to determine the business included in such notice. Any special meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, and on such date and at such time, as shall be specified in the notice of such special meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Board Powers</u>. All corporate powers and authority of the Corporation (except as at the time otherwise provided by law, by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by the Bylaws of the Corporation) shall be vested in and exercised by the Board.

EIGHTH: *Amendment of Bylaws.* In furtherance and not in limitation of the power conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board, acting by resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exists any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption), is expressly authorized, without the consent or vote of the stockholders, to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation subject to any limitations contained therein. In addition to any other vote otherwise required by law, and subject to any additional limitations as may be set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation, the stockholders of the Corporation may amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, provided that any such action will require (i) until the Trigger Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class and (ii) from and after the Trigger Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least three quarters of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

------

NINTH: *Liability*. No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, including any right or protection of a current or former director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal. If the DGCL is amended after the Effective Time to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

TENTH: *Absence of Written Ballot.* Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

ELEVENTH: *Indemnification*. The Corporation shall, through its Bylaws or otherwise, indemnify and advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, as it now exists or as hereafter amended from time to time, any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. The Corporation may, by action of the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses to such other employees or agents of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to such extent and to such effect as the Board shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by the DGCL. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article Eleventh shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provision of this Article Eleventh shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director, officer, agent, or other person existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of this Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director, officer or agent occurring prior to, such amendment, repeal or modification.

TWELFTH: *Business Opportunities*. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the DGCL (or any successor provision) and except as may be otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Corporation and the Carlyle Stockholder (as defined below), the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities, that are from time to time presented to the Carlyle Stockholder or any of its officers, representatives, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates, subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries), or any of their respective designees on the Corporation's Board of Directors and/or any of their respective representatives who, from time to time, may act as officers of the Corporation, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and no such person shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the

------

Corporation or its subsidiaries unless, in the case of any such person who is a director or officer of the Corporation, such business opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation. Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Twelfth. Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Article Twelfth, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article Twelfth, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, any modification of law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article Twelfth in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article Twelfth, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal, adoption or modification. If any provision or provisions of this Article Twelfth shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article Twelfth (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article Twelfth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article Twelfth (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article Twelfth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service to or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Article Twelfth shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation's Bylaws, any other agreement between the Corporation and such director, officer, employee or agent or applicable law. For purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the "Carlyle Stockholder" shall mean Carlyle-CommScope Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, members, partners, directors, officers and employees (in each case other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries).

THIRTEENTH: *Section 203 of the General Corporation Law*. The Corporation elects not to be governed by, and shall not be subject to the provisions of, Section 203 of the DGCL, "Business Combinations With Interested Stockholders," as permitted under and pursuant to subsection (b)(3) thereof.

FOURTEENTH: *Forum*. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation's Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state court located within 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). Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring 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 Fourteenth.

FIFTEENTH: *Amendment*. The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provisions contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the DGCL. All rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation's Bylaws, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of

------

Incorporation, the Corporation's Bylaws or otherwise, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the capital stock required by law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation's Bylaws or otherwise, on or following the Trigger Date, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least three quarters of the voting power of all outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt any provision inconsistent with, to amend or repeal any provision of, or to adopt a bylaw inconsistent with, Articles Third, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. For purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the "Trigger Date" shall mean the first date on which the Carlyle Stockholder ceases to beneficially own (directly or indirectly) shares representing a majority of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

**SEVENTH AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS** 

As Adopted on January 14, 2026

**ARTICLE I** 

**MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS** 

Section 1.01 <u>Annual Meetings</u>. The annual meeting of the stockholders of Vistance Networks, Inc. (the "<u>Corporation</u>") for the election of directors (each, a "<u>Director</u>") and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held each year either within or outside the State of Delaware at such place, if any, and on such date and at such time, as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "<u>Board</u>") adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized Directors (whether or not there exists any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) and set forth in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting, unless, subject to the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (the "<u>Certificate of Incorporation</u>") and Section 1.11 of these bylaws, the stockholders have acted by written consent to elect Directors as permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time (the "<u>DGCL</u>"). The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board.

Section 1.02 <u>Special Meetings</u>. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Board pursuant to a resolution of the Board adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized Directors (whether or not there exists any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption). The stockholders of the Corporation shall not have the power to call a special meeting of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the business to come before, and be conducted at, a special meeting of stockholders shall be limited exclusively to the business set forth in the notice (and any supplement thereof) and the Board shall have exclusive authority to determine the business included in such notice. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of the stockholders previously scheduled by the Board. Any special meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, and on such date and at such time, as shall be specified in the notice of such special meeting.

Section 1.03 <u>Participation in Meetings by Remote Communication</u>. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the DGCL and any other applicable law for the participation by stockholders and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place but will be held solely by means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present in person and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication.

------

Section 1.04 <u>Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause notice of each meeting of stockholders to be given in a manner permitted by the DGCL not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, subject to such exclusions as are then permitted by the DGCL. The notice shall specify (i) the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), (ii) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (iii) the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, (iv) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called and (v) such other information as may be required by law or as may be deemed appropriate by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary. If the stockholder list referred to in Section 1.06 of these bylaws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the stockholder list can be accessed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A written waiver of notice of meeting signed by a stockholder or a waiver by electronic transmission by a stockholder, whether given before or after the meeting time stated in such notice, is deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in a waiver of notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting, whether in person or by proxy, is a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business at the meeting on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 1.05 <u>Proxies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A stockholder may authorize a valid proxy by executing a written instrument signed by such stockholder, or by causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including but not limited to by facsimile signature, or by transmitting or authorizing an electronic transmission (as defined in Section 8.08 of these bylaws) setting forth an authorization to act as proxy to the person designated as the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a like authorized agent. Proxies by electronic transmission must either set forth, or be submitted with, information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used if such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use for solicitation by the Board of Directors.

Section 1.06 <u>Voting Lists</u>. The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make available, for a period of ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date for each meeting of the stockholders (and before any adjournment thereof for which a new record date has been set), a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. This list, which may be in any format including electronic format, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during such period for any purpose germane to the meeting in the manner required by the DGCL and other applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section 1.06 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine the list required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 1.07 <u>Quorum</u>. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority in voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or series is required, the holders of a majority in voting power of all issued and outstanding stock of such class or series entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to such matter. When a quorum is once present it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholder. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by a majority in voting power thereof, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.09 of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend.

------

Section 1.08 <u>Voting</u>. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders is entitled to one vote for each share outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation (x) at the close of business on the record date for such vote or (y) if no record date has been fixed, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or pursuant to any other rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation, its securities or its stockholders, the vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders on the subject matter in question represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at such meeting. The stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of Directors.

Section 1.09 <u>Adjournment</u>. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time, whether or not a quorum is present, by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the place, if any, and date and time thereof (and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting after the adjournment, in which case notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 1.04 of these bylaws shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 1.10 <u>Organization; Procedure; Inspection of Elections</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At every meeting of stockholders the presiding officer shall be the Chairman of the Board, or in the event of his or her absence or disability, the President, or in the event of both the Chairman's and the President's absence or disability, a presiding officer chosen by resolution of the Board. The Secretary, or in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Assistant Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant Secretary, in the absence of the Secretary, an appointee of the presiding officer, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Board shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to any such rules and regulations, the presiding officer of any meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting and to prescribe rules, regulations and procedures for such meeting and to take all such actions as in the judgment of the presiding officer are necessary,

Nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting may be made only (x) by or at the direction of the Board, or a committee appointed by the Board for such purpose or (y) provided that the Board (or stockholders, to the extent in accordance with Section 1.02 hereof) has determined that Directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act, only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12.

Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal under this Section 1.12 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and/or the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation.

Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights of (x) stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (y) the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect Directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or of the relevant preferred stock certificate of designation.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting does not commence a new time period (and does not extend any time period) for the giving of notice of a stockholder nomination or a stockholder proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The number of Directors, other than any Directors elected by the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article Sixth of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "<u>Preferred Stock Directors</u>"), shall initially be eleven (11), which number may be modified (but not reduced to less than seven (7)) from time to time exclusively by a Board resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of Directors then in office, subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock, if any. All directors shall be elected annually and serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director's earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

For purposes of this Section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a director must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that director. The Nominating Committee has established procedures under which any director who is not elected shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken.

Attendance of a Director at a meeting is a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the Director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business at the meeting on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 2.06 <u>Quorum; Voting</u>. At all meetings of the Board, the presence of a majority of the total authorized number of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) For purposes of these Bylaws, "cause" shall mean (i) a final conviction (without any further right of appeal) of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (ii) willful misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious economically to the Corporation. For purposes of this definition of "cause," no act, or failure to act, by a Director shall be considered "willful" unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or failure to act was in the best interest of the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation. "Cause" shall not exist unless and until the Corporation has delivered to the Director a written notice of the Director's failure to act that constitutes "cause" and, if cure is possible, such Director shall not have cured such act or omission within ninety (90) days after the delivery of such notice.

The Corporation will cause each non-employee Director serving on the Board to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by him or her in connection with such service. Such compensation and reimbursement shall be payable even though there be an adjournment because of the absence of a quorum. No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 2.15 <u>Reliance on Accounts and Reports, etc</u>. A Director, as such or as a member of any committee designated by the Board, shall in the performance of his or her duties be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Corporation and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation's officers or employees, or committees designated by the Board, or by any other person as to the matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.

No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its Directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such person's or persons' votes are counted for such purposes if (a) the material facts as to such person's or persons' relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Directors or committee who then in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum, (b) the material facts as to such person's or persons' relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report to the Board when required. The Board shall adopt a charter for each committee for which a charter is required by applicable laws, regulations or stock exchange rules, may adopt a charter for any other committee, and may adopt other rules and regulations for the government of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these bylaws or any such charter, and each committee may adopt its own rules and regulations of government, to the extent not inconsistent with these bylaws or any charter or other rules and regulations adopted by the Board.

Section 3.04 <u>Meetings and Actions of Committees</u>. Except to the extent that the same may be inconsistent with the terms of any committee charter or applicable laws, regulations or stock exchange rules, meetings and actions of each committee shall be governed by, and held and taken in accordance with, the provisions of the following sections of these bylaws, with such bylaws being deemed to refer to the committee and its members in lieu of the Board and its members:

Any member (and any alternate member) of any committee may be removed from such position by the Board at any time, either for or without cause.

Section 3.06 <u>Vacancies</u>. If a vacancy occurs in any committee for any reason, the remaining members (and any alternate members) may continue to act if a quorum is present. A committee vacancy may be filled only by the Board in accordance with Section 3.02.

In addition, the Board from time to time may delegate to any officer the power to appoint subordinate officers or agents and to prescribe their respective rights, terms of office, authorities and duties. Any action by an appointing officer may be superseded by action by the Board. Any number of offices may be held by the same person, except that one person may not hold both the office of President and the office of Secretary. No officer need be a Director. For the avoidance of doubt, the term Vice President shall refer to an officer elected by the Board as Vice President and shall not include any employees of the Corporation whose employment title is "Vice President" unless such individual has been elected as a Vice President of the Corporation in accordance with these bylaws.

------

Section 4.02 <u>Election</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the officers of the Corporation need not be elected for a specified term but shall serve at the pleasure of the Board or for such terms as may be agreed in the individual case by each officer and the Board. Officers and agents appointed pursuant to delegated authority as provided in Section 4.01 (or, in the case of agents, as provided in Section 4.07) shall hold their offices for such terms as may be determined from time to time by the appointing officer. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor has been elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. A failure to elect officers shall not dissolve or otherwise affect the Corporation.

Section 4.03 <u>Compensation</u>. The salaries and other compensation of all officers and agents of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board or in the manner established by the Board. An officer of the Corporation shall not be prevented from receiving compensation by reason of the fact that such officer is also a Director.

Section 4.04 <u>Removal and Resignation; Vacancies</u>. Any officer may be removed for or without cause at any time by the Board, without prejudice to the rights, if any, of such officer under any contract to which such officer is a party. Any officer granted the power to appoint subordinate officers and agents as provided in Section 4.01 may remove any subordinate officer or agent appointed by such officer, at any time, for or without cause, without prejudice to the rights, if any, of such officer under any contract to which such officer is a party. Any officer or agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of resignation, either in writing signed by such officer or by electronic transmission, to the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the President, without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Corporation under any contract to which such officer is a party. Unless otherwise specified therein, such resignation shall take effect upon delivery. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation by death, resignation, removal or otherwise, may be filled by the Board or by the officer, if any (provided that the delegated authority as provided in Section 4.01 has not been revoked as of such time), who appointed the person formerly holding such office.

Section 4.05 <u>Authority and Duties of Officers</u>. An officer of the Corporation shall have such authority and shall exercise such powers and perform such duties (a) as may be required by law, (b) to the extent not inconsistent with law, as are specified in these bylaws, (c) to the extent not inconsistent with law or these bylaws, as may be specified by resolution of the Board, and (d) to the extent not inconsistent with any of the foregoing, as may be specified by the appointing officer with respect to a subordinate officer appointed pursuant to delegated authority under Section 4.01. The Board may from time to time delegate the powers or duties of any officer to any other officer or agent, notwithstanding any provision hereof.

Section 4.06 <u>Chairman of the Board</u>. If the Chairman of the Board shall have been elected or appointed, the Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and Directors at which he or she is present and shall have such other powers and duties as may from time to time be assigned by the Board.

Section 4.07 <u>President</u>. Unless there is a separately designated Chairman of the Board, the President shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and Directors at which he or she is present, shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation, shall have general control and supervision of the policies and operations of the Corporation and shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Board are carried into effect. He or she shall manage and administer the Corporation's business and affairs and shall also perform all duties and exercise all powers usually pertaining to the office of a chief executive officer of a corporation, including, without limitation all powers incident to the title "President" under the DGCL. He or she shall have the authority to

------

sign, in the name and on behalf of the Corporation, checks, orders, contracts, leases, notes, drafts and all other documents and instruments in connection with the business of the Corporation. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, he or she shall have the authority to cause the employment or appointment of such employees (other than the President) or agents of the Corporation as the conduct of the business of the Corporation may require, to fix their compensation, and to remove or suspend such employee or any agent employed or appointed by any officer or to suspend any agent appointed by the Board. In addition, the President shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may be delegated to him or her by the Board or as are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. The President shall have the duties and powers of the Treasurer if no Treasurer is elected and shall have such other duties and powers as the Board may from time to time prescribe.

Section 4.08 <u>Vice Presidents</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if one or more Vice Presidents have been elected or appointed, each Vice President shall perform such duties and exercise such powers as may be assigned to him or her from time to time by the Board or the President. In the event of absence or disability of the President, the duties of the President shall be performed, and his or her powers may be exercised, by such Vice President as shall be designated by the Board or, failing such designation, by the Vice President in order of seniority of title, with the title of "Executive Vice President" being more senior than "Senior Vice President" which is, in turn, more senior than "Vice President" (and among Vice Presidents with the same seniority of title, among them in seniority of election or appointment to that office), in each case, without limiting the last sentence of Section 4.01.

Section 4.09 <u>Secretary</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Secretary shall issue all authorized notices for, and shall keep minutes of, all meetings of the stockholders and the Board. He or she shall have charge of the corporate books and shall perform other duties as the Board or the President shall designate from time to time.

Section 4.10 <u>Treasurer</u>. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if the Treasurer shall have been elected or appointed, the Treasurer shall keep or cause to be kept the books of account of the Corporation in a thorough and proper manner and shall render statements of the financial affairs of the Corporation in such form and as often as required by the Board or the President. The Treasurer, subject to the order of the Board, shall have the custody of all funds and securities of the Corporation. The Treasurer shall perform other duties commonly incident to such office and shall also perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board or the President shall designate from time to time.

Section 4.11 <u>Security</u>. The Board may require any officer, agent or employee of the Corporation to provide security for the faithful performance of his or her duties, in such amount and of such character as may be determined from time to time by the Board.

**CAPITAL STOCK** 

Section 5.01 <u>Certificates of Stock; Uncertificated Shares</u>. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, except to the extent that the Board has provided by resolution that some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have, and the Board may in its sole discretion permit a holder of uncertificated shares to receive upon request, a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Such certificate shall be in such form as the Board may determine, to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and these bylaws.

Section 5.02 <u>Facsimile Signatures</u>. Any or all signatures on the certificates referred to in Section 5.01 of these bylaws may be in facsimile form, to the extent permitted by law. If any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 5.03 <u>Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates</u>. A new certificate may be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed only upon delivery to the Corporation of an affidavit of the owner or owners (or their legal representatives) of such certificate, setting forth such allegation, and, if required by the Board, a bond or other undertaking, in such form as may be approved by the Board or a financial officer of the Corporation designated by the Board, to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

Section 5.04 <u>Transfer of Stock</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize and enforce any lawful restriction on transfer. Within a reasonable time after the transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to Sections 151, 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and these bylaws, the Board may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, transfer and registration of shares of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Corporation may enter into additional agreements with stockholders to restrict the transfer of stock of the Corporation in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

Section 5.05 <u>Registered Stockholders</u>. Prior to due surrender of a certificate for registration of transfer, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive dividends and other distributions, to vote, to receive notice and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of the shares represented by such certificate, and the

------

Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or legal claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have notice of such claim or interests; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u> if a transfer of shares is made for collateral security, and not absolutely, this fact shall be so expressed in the entry of the transfer if, when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer or uncertificated shares are requested to be transferred, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

Section 5.06 <u>Transfer Agent and Registrar</u>. The Board may appoint one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates representing shares to bear the signature of any such transfer agents or registrars.

**ARTICLE VI** 

**INDEMNIFICATION** 

Section 6.01 <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *In General*. The Corporation shall hold harmless and indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is asked to provide testimony in connection with, or is otherwise involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, legislative or otherwise and whether formal or informal (each, a "<u>proceeding</u>") by reason of, arising out of, or in any way related to, the fact that (x) such person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was serving or has agreed to serve as a Director or officer of the Corporation, or (y) such person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, while serving as a Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, manager or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise or (z) such person, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or manager of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each, an "<u>Other</u> <u>Enterprise</u>"), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted by such person in such capacity, and who satisfies the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or other applicable law:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) in a proceeding other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person's behalf in connection with such proceeding and any appeal therefrom; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) in a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person's behalf in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding and any appeal therefrom; <u>provided</u>, <u>that</u>, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

------

The termination of any proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement (with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself adversely affect the right to indemnification as set forth herein or create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Indemnification in Respect of Successful Defense*. To the greatest extent permitted by law, to the extent that a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 6.01(a) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be conclusively determined to be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such proceeding. Further, for purposes of this Section 6.01(b) and without limitation, the termination of any proceeding referred to in Section 6.01(a), or claim, issue or matter in such proceeding, by settlement (with or without court approval), entry of a plea of nolo contendere (or its equivalent) or by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful resolution as to such proceeding, claim, issue or matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Indemnification in Respect of Proceedings Instituted by Indemnitee*. Section 6.01(a) does not require the Corporation to indemnify a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation in respect of a proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such person on his or her own behalf (other than by way of defense, counterclaim or crossclaim), unless such proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized in the specific case by the Board or the indemnification requested is pursuant to the last sentence of Section 6.03 of these bylaws.

Section 6.02 <u>Advancement of Expenses</u>. The Corporation shall advance all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by a present or former Director or officer in defending any proceeding prior to the final disposition of such proceeding upon written request of such person and delivery of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right of appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The indemnified party's undertaking to repay the Corporation any amounts advanced for expenses shall not be required to be secured and shall not bear interest. Advancements shall be made without regard to the indemnified party's ability to repay the expenses. The Corporation shall not impose on the indemnified party additional conditions to advancement of expenses or require from the indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment.

Advancements of expenses pursuant to this subsection shall not require approval of the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation, or of any other person or body. The Secretary shall promptly advise the Board in writing of the request for advancement of expenses, of the amount and other details of the request and of the undertaking to make repayment provided pursuant to this subsection. Advancements of expenses shall be made within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements requesting such advancements from time to time. Advancements of expenses shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Corporation to support the advancements claimed. The Corporation may authorize any counsel for the Corporation to represent (subject to applicable conflict of interest considerations) such present or former Director or officer in any proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such proceeding.

------

Section 6.03 <u>Procedure for Indemnification</u>. Any indemnification under Section 6.01 of these bylaws or any advancement of expenses under Section 6.02 of these bylaws shall be made only against a written request therefor (together with supporting documentation) submitted by or on behalf of the person seeking indemnification or advancement. Indemnification may be sought by a person under Section 6.01 of these bylaws in respect of a proceeding only to the extent that both the liabilities for which indemnification is sought and all portions of the proceeding relevant to the determination of whether the person has satisfied any appropriate standard of conduct have become final. A person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may seek to enforce such person's rights to indemnification or advance of expenses (as the case may be) in the Delaware Court of Chancery to the extent all or any portion of a requested indemnification has not been granted within ninety (90) days of, or to the extent all or any portion of a requested advance of expenses has not been granted within ten (10) days of, the submission of such request. All expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in connection with successfully establishing such person's right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VI, in whole or in part, shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 <u>Burden of Proof</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In any proceeding brought to enforce the right of a person to receive indemnification to which such person is entitled under Section 6.01 of these bylaws, it shall be presumed, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, that such person is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Corporation shall have the burden to overcome such presumption by establishing that there is no reasonable basis to support it. A prior determination by the Corporation (including its Board or any committee thereof, its independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant is not entitled to indemnification shall not prejudice the claimant in any proceeding brought to enforce the right of such person to receive indemnification (and the Corporation may not refer to or introduce into evidence any such determination in such proceeding) and any such proceeding shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits. For purposes of any determination of good faith, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if the action or failure to act is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or an Other Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to such person by the officers, employees, boards (or committees thereof) of the Corporation or an Other Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel or other advisors (including financial advisors and accountants) for the Corporation or an Other Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or an Other Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert or advisor selected by the Corporation or an Other Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 6.04(a) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which a person may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In any proceeding brought to enforce a claim for advances to which a person is entitled under Section 6.02 of these bylaws, the person seeking an advancement need only show that he or she has satisfied the requirements expressly set forth in Section 6.02 of these bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other Director or officer of the Corporation or an Other Enterprise shall not be imputed to an indemnified person for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Article VI.

Section 6.05 <u>Contract Right; Non-Exclusivity; Survival</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article VI shall be deemed to be separate contract rights between the Corporation and each Director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL are in effect, and such contract rights shall vest immediately upon the commencement of such person's service to the Corporation or, in the case of service to an Other Enterprise at the request of the Corporation, to an Other Enterprise. Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision serve or continue to serve the Corporation as Directors or officers or who, while serving as such, serve or continue to serve an Other Enterprise at the request of the Corporation, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses contained in this Article VI. No repeal or modification of any of these provisions or any relevant provisions of the DGCL shall adversely affect any right or obligation of such Director or officer existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such "contract rights" may not be modified retroactively as to any present or former Director or officer without the consent of such Director or officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled by any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article VI to any present or former Director or officer of the Corporation shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Section 6.06 <u>Insurance</u>. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person or on such person's behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI. The Corporation may also create a trust fund, grant a security interest and/or use other means (including, without limitation, letters of credit, surety bonds and/or other similar arrangements) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law to ensure the payment of such amounts as may become necessary to effect the indemnification as provided in this Article VI or elsewhere.

------

Section 6.07 <u>Employees and Agents</u>. The Board, or any officer authorized by the Board generally or in the specific case to make indemnification decisions, may cause the Corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to any present or former employee or agent of the Corporation in such manner and for such liabilities as the Board may determine, up to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law.

Section 6.08 <u>Interpretation; Severability</u>. Terms defined in Sections 145(h) or (i) of the DGCL have the meanings set forth in such sections when used in this Article VI. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless (i) indemnify each Director or officer of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, and (ii) advance expenses to each Director or officer of the Corporation entitled to advancement of expenses under Section 6.02 in accordance therewith, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these bylaws or otherwise: (i) the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., the Corporation's obligations to each Sponsor Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Carlyle Stockholder to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by each Sponsor Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Corporation will be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by each Sponsor Indemnitee and will be liable for the full amount of all liabilities, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by this Article VI, without regard to any rights each Sponsor Indemnitee may have against the Carlyle Stockholder, and (iii) the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Carlyle Stockholder from any and all claims against the Carlyle Stockholder for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these bylaws or otherwise, no advancement or payment by the Carlyle Stockholder on behalf of a Sponsor Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Sponsor Indemnitee has sought indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Corporation will affect the foregoing and the Carlyle Stockholder will have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Sponsor Indemnitee against the Corporation.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

On January 9, 2026, CommScope Holding Company, Inc ("CommScope" or the "Company") completed the sale of its Connectivity and Cable Solutions segment (the "CCS Business" or "CCS") to Amphenol Corporation ("Amphenol" or the "Buyer") for $10.5 billion in cash (the "CCS Sale Transaction" or the "Sale"). CCS provides fiber optic and copper connectivity and cable solutions for use in telecommunications, cable television, residential broadband networks, data centers and business enterprises.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of CommScope, which were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent what CommScope's results of operations or financial position would have been had the Sale occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should not be considered indicative of CommScope's future results of operations or financial position. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein due to a variety of factors.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 have been derived from the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CommScope, included in CommScope's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 have been derived from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of CommScope, included in CommScope's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with CommScope's historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 reflect pro forma results of CommScope's operations as if the Sale had occurred on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, gives effect to the Sale as if it had occurred on that date. The adjustments in the "Other Separation Adjustments" column in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to the Other Separation Adjustments as if they occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, gives effect to the Other Separation Adjustments as if they had occurred on that date.

The Sale represents a strategic shift that has a material effect on CommScope's operations and financial results. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Sale met the criteria under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, *Presentation of Financial Statements*, for discontinued operations, and the Company will present the Sale as a discontinued operation in its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company believes that the adjustments included within the "Discontinued Operations of the CCS Business" column of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the guidance for discontinued operations under GAAP. CommScope's current estimates on a discontinued operations basis are subject to change as the Company finalizes discontinued operations accounting to be reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Article 11 of Regulation S-X requires that pro forma financial information include the following pro forma adjustments to the historical financial statements of the registrant as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transaction Accounting Adjustments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments that reflect only the application of required accounting to the acquisition, disposition, or other
transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Autonomous Entity Adjustments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments that are necessary to reflect the operations and financial position of the registrant as an
autonomous entity when the registrant was previously part of another entity.

In addition, Regulation S-X permits registrants to reflect adjustments that depict synergies or dis-synergies of the acquisitions and dispositions for which pro forma effect is being given in the disclosures as management adjustments.

------

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflect the following transactions in conjunction with the CCS Sale Transaction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Discontinued Operations of the CCS Business:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The historical financial results directly attributable to CCS in accordance with ASC 205

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other Separation Adjustments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash proceeds from the Sale

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The repayment of all existing CommScope debt (the "Debt Repayment")

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimated unaccrued one-time bonus and transaction costs

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimated taxes payable CommScope will owe as a result of the Sale

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Anticipated special dividends payable

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any autonomous entity adjustments or potential synergies or dis-synergies that may occur in connection with the Sale.

The historical financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CommScope, included in CommScope's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, and the assumptions outlined in Note 2 below.

2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) The "Discontinued Operations of the CCS Business" column in the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements represents the historical financial results directly attributable to CCS in accordance with ASC 205.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the cash consideration received in
exchange for the sale of CCS, the Debt Repayment, and redemption of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Amount** |
|  Cash consideration received for sale of CCS | $10500.0 |
|  Full repayment of 7.125% senior notes due July 2028 | (641.6) |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Estimated unaccrued one-time transaction costs of $14.9 were recorded

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) Reflects the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock at carrying value on the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet and removal of the dividends paid in-kind on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) The adjustment to long-term debt in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the
impacts of the Debt Repayment as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Amount** |
|  Full repayment of 7.125% senior notes due July 2028 | $(641.6) |
|  Full repayment of 5.00% senior notes due March 2027 | (750.0) |
|  Full repayment of 8.25% senior notes due March 2027 | (866.9) |

|  Pro forma adjustment to long-term debt | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7254.9) |

---

Additionally, cash proceeds were used to pay $51.9 of accrued interest, which is reflected as a reduction of accrued and other liabilities in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Following the completion of the Sale and based on liquidity needs and other factors, the Company anticipates it will add modest leverage to the remaining business. As the amount of leverage is not currently known, no such adjustment has been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) The income tax impacts of discontinued operations have been estimated using the applicable statutory income tax
rate in the respective jurisdictions, adjusted for effective tax rate impacts related to permanent differences and income tax credits. The estimated income tax adjustments are subject to change and actual amounts will differ from the results
reflected herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h) Represents the tax impact of the pro forma Other Separation Adjustments at the applicable blended statutory
income tax rates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) Estimated unaccrued one-time bonus costs of $16.4 were recorded as an
accrual in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet within accrued and other liabilities. These one-time costs were directly attributed to the Sale and were paid by the Company following
the Sale.

The adjustment to selling, general and administrative of $16.4 in the unaudited proforma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects the one-time bonus costs assuming payment made on January 1, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j) Represents taxes payable adjustment of $271.0 within accrued and other liabilities in the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet for the expected income tax payable due as a result of the gain on Sale. The current tax payable on the gain is reduced by tax attributes utilized in the current year. The estimated tax impact is subject to
change and the actual impact could differ from the results reflected herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k) Represents reclassification of interest rate hedge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to accumulated
deficit as the interest rate hedge will be paid off in connection with the Debt Repayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l) CommScope anticipates distributing a special dividend to CommScope's stockholders within 90 days
following the Sale. The adjustment to dividends payable assumes a special dividend of $10.00 per share to holders of CommScope common stock. It is also expected that the special dividend will be paid to all unvested shares outstanding under the
Company's 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTI Plan"), but such dividend amounts will be retained by CommScope until the vesting of such shares. As such, the special dividend adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet excludes any anticipated payments associated with unvested shares, as well as any shares that will vest upon the completion of the Sale, under the Company's LTI Plan as of September 30, 2025. There can be no
assurance of the exact amount of cash proceeds to be distributed to CommScope's stockholders or of the exact timing of any such distributions. The decision to declare a special dividend and the timing and amount thereof, if any, is in the sole
discretion of the Board acting in the best interests of the Company and will depend on such factors as are deemed relevant by the Board at the time of such decision.
